It was dusk and the sun was about to set. 4 Land Cruisers and a medic cruised through the red desert, following the two drunkards.
Feng Peiqian really had no idea what was going on with Captain Yu and Gu Jun. They had been moving for a whole day. Even though the brothers were wobbly, their legs were strong. They had been moving for 40 kilometres already. They only stopped a few times to eat and drink before continuing.
"Hey, what are you guys looking for?" Peter Powell, the captain of the Australian Security Bureau, asked, "Tell us, maybe we can help?"
Of course, no matter what they found on this piece of land, it did not belong to Mysterium, it belonged to Australia.
"Captain Powell, you might not believe me." Feng Peiqian shook her head. "But we are as confused as you are. You should know about Captain Yu's condition."
"Okay." The five Australians, including Peter Powell, were naturally skeptical about this.
Night was approaching, and the temperature here was dropping. Everyone felt a chill in the wind. 'Where are they going? Won't they get tired? '
"Where is it, where is it …" Yu Chi mumbled. He raised the small bottle in his hand and poured it into his mouth. However, he could not get a single drop out.
Yu Chi had been in this drunken state for the whole day but the illusion only appeared once. He did not contribute much to the search for Pnakotus City. He merely followed behind Gu Jun. Whether Gu Jun had a direction or not, he had no idea …
Gu Jun appeared to have a direction but at the same time, he did not.
In a daze, he was half drunk and half awake. The swelling pain in his head was getting more and more intense. He couldn't quite open his eyes, and the alcohol kept surging through him.
Suddenly, he felt an intense discomfort in his stomach. Something really did rise up. He took several steps away and vomited on the ground. Sometimes, vomiting was contagious. Once he vomited, Yu Chi could not hold it in anymore. He too started to vomit.
The air was suddenly filled with the pungent smell of alcohol mixed with the smell of rotting food.
"For God's sake …" Peter Powell pinched his nose and grumbled. At that moment, he really wanted to believe Feng Peiqian.
It would be a miracle if these two drunkards could find anything.
Ivy Andrew, Edith Jackson, and a few others also shook their heads. Previously, the bureau had taken it seriously and told them to pay more attention. Now, it seemed like they had just wasted a day.
Chen Ziyuan and the rest were helpless. Feng Peiqian asked the convoy to stop. She got out of the car and quickly walked over with two bottles of water. "Captain, drink some water."
But it was also at this time that Gu Jun's eyes suddenly brightened. Wait, that, that looks like an opal …
He hurriedly took a few steps forward. There were some small natural pebbles on the barren land. If one did not pay attention, they would all seem to be Gobi stones. However, there was a little bit of light among them … He picked up the stone.
It was a fist-sized raw stone with the luster of opal hidden inside.
In the morning, Gu Jun had said that the opal might be a guide. It was just a feeling …
Now, with the stone in his hand, his eyes scanned the barren land around him. His heart raced. This was it, this was it.
The small town that Kathlyn lived in when she was young was also a guide. They walked from morning until sunset.
"Captain Yu, Captain Yu …" Gu Jun called, "Come and take a look."
Yu Chi was taking a sip of water. He pushed Feng Peiqian who was supporting him away and walked over. When he saw the opal in Gu Jun's hand, his bearded face flushed red. "Is this it? Is this it?!" Opal was not that easy to find. Normally, it had to be dug out from underground. Picking it up on the surface like this was impossible.
"Peiqian, quick, bring me my tools …" Yu Chi urged. Even though he did not trust the tools, he had to give it a try.
Feng Peiqian obeyed in confusion. She had heard too many strange requests like this over the past two days.
Soon, Yu Chi started to fiddle with the radar and metal detectors. It was useless. Similar to before, there was no result. However, the distance from the surface to the earth's core was about 6300 metres. If Pnakotus City was really deep underground, then these devices would be useless.
At the same time, Gu Jun was contemplating. What if he could not find the entrance through normal physical means …
He immediately thought that the shadow of the door might be the entrance.
"Captain Yu, stop looking. I don't think the door is in the ground." He said, "The door is with us."
"Ah …" Yu Chi understood immediately. "But how are we going to open the door? What if it's located in another dimension? "
'Another dimension? ' Feng Peiqian was shocked. The representatives from both countries who heard the conversation through the walkie-talkie had mixed expressions. 'Are they drunk? ' But one of them was the famous Captain Yu and the other was a suspected cultist. Of course their words made everyone wary.
'Door ', they were looking for some kind of door.
"I wish to try something." Gu Jun told Yu Chi, "But I need to enter a trance and I cannot be interrupted so I'll leave this to you."
"Don't worry, don't worry." Captain Yu nodded seriously. He was no longer drunk.
Gu Jun's solution was to open the Pnakotic Manuscripts in his mind. His mental state was different now. Even though he still could not interact with the ball of chaos, he believed he could open this projected manuscript and give it a try.
Furthermore, this manuscript might be able to trigger something, something that might be at the ruins of Pnakotus City.
Gu Jun closed his eyes and gripped the opaline in his hand tightly. He gathered his drunken mind and opened the projection of the book in his mind. Just like before, he felt a wave of pain, but this time he was able to control himself. Gritting his teeth, he broke through the barrier in one swift motion.
Suddenly, after such a long time, he opened this chapter of the Pnakotic Manuscripts again.
The strange Chinese characters, lines, and pictures in the book suddenly filled his mind, like a torrent that wanted to take him away.
'I wish to open the entrance to Pnakotus City … 'Gu Jun thought as he searched for the answer in the manuscript.' The door to this abandoned city. '
On the other hand, Feng Peiqian, Peter Powell, and the rest were still standing idly one second ago, but in the next second, their eyebrows were raised and their eyes widened in shock. They cursed in their hearts. Even though they were prepared, they still hurriedly took action. They knew this man called Gu Jun was not an ordinary man!
At that moment, a glow burst out from Gu Jun's body, no, the glow came from the stone in his hand. It appeared to be forming a door.
'The door is with us', the door! This was the door!
But what was he trying to do?
"Damn it …" Peter Powell gasped and complained to Feng Peiqian and the rest, "None of you know this, right?"
"Yes, we really don't!" "We don't even know who he is …"
"All of you, stop right there!" Yu Chi yelled at the group in excitement. The door was not fully formed yet, Captain Gu could not be disturbed. Yu Chi shouted, "Peiqian, do you still think I'm the captain? Get out of here and stop them! What we're doing is very important, Captain Gu is very important! "
The door behind Gu Jun was still growing larger and larger.
