On the way to Egypt's base, the Stone Breakers came up with many new theories due to the new clues.
After listening to the report, Tong Ye also realized that the situation was not as simple as it seemed. Various investigations were already underway, like Mount Yang at Derao City, Zhou Haorui's whereabouts, other possible missing persons, other possible victims who had lost their 'cards' …
The base built on the desert appeared heavy under the scorching sun. The frontline personnel from various countries gathered here. They were busy and nervous.
Once the Stone Breakers arrived, they started a meeting with the leaders of the various Special Mobile Forces.
Hubbard Scott from the US FBM, Ivanov Kombarov from the Russian Security Service, Tabitha Williams from the UK …
They knew more than the general public. They knew that Gu Jun and Wu Shiyu were no longer around. Even so, Phecda's team was not to be underestimated. They had the most information and made the most breakthroughs in this disaster, so they showed their respect.
"Captain Lou, we definitely do not wish for the tragedy on Dagon Island to happen again." Hubbard Scott was one of the survivors from the last landing on the island. He had personally witnessed the power of Dagon, as well as the chaos when they landed on the island and how they were surrounded by the Afterlife Cult. "Working together and solving the disaster is our only goal."
"I've long heard about your alcohol tolerance, Captain Lou." Ivanov Kombarov cut to the chase. "After this is over, we'll go for a drink."
Their home was being ravaged by the disaster. Indeed, they wanted to stop the disaster as soon as possible. The Phecda members were more than qualified to lead this place.
At the same time, at Da Hwa's command central, Tong Ye had come to an agreement with the commanders from various countries. This operation would be carried out under GOA's framework.
The command center made some structural adjustments to the frontline personnel of the various countries. They were divided into several different squads, each of which had a certain amount of strength and could move in multiple directions. They could also support each other and try their best not to be completely wiped out.
That day, the unit responsible for the mission to the nearby Great Pyramid of Giza was the first unit. After a short rest at the base, they departed.
The area had long been sealed off by the Egyptian Security Bureau, and there was nothing unusual for the time being.
The Great Pyramid of Giza was now 136.5 meters tall. When the convoy was still far away, they could already see the giant tower that had stood for 4,600 years. The Sphinx was on the east side. Its nose had been damaged in the long river of time, but it still looked magnificent.
The team first went to the Sphinx to investigate. After finding nothing, they went to the Great Pyramid of Giza.
Not long after, the group of people stood in front of the huge tower. The hot wind had been blowing like this for thousands of years, and the huge rocks had also split the sky.
"How is it?" Lou Xiaoning asked the people around her, especially Deng Ximei and Xiao Xu. They had the highest spiritual knowledge here and had the talent to trigger illusions.
She herself didn't see anything. She only felt that the pressure brought by the pyramid was very heavy, and her heart beat even harder.
Chang Qianhang was mumbling something, his facial muscles twitching slightly. After resting for a while in the base, his complexion had improved slightly, but now it had begun to worsen again.
"Lao Chang?" Uncle Dan was responsible for keeping an eye on him. He noticed something was wrong with the man. "Do you want some water?"
Over the past few days, Chang Qianhang's mental state had been deteriorating. He should have stayed at Da Hwa to rest, but the frontline desperately needed the ancient Egyptian archaeologist's knowledge and inspiration. In fact, he had been a great help.
"I feel that …" Deng Ximei frowned. Messy, fuzzy, and meaningless memories were surging in her heart. There were too many things that had happened in this space. She could not perceive them at all. Four thousand and six hundred years, or even more years … Hominoids, hunting, stone tools, pottery …
Suddenly, Chang Qianhang's expression shifted. His shaking body rushed toward the pyramid. He waved his arms and uttered a strange and maddening cry.
"The door to my tomb has been opened, and the sun shines through the darkness! The Eye of Horus protects my body, Upavat feeds me, and I turn into a star that will never fall! My neck is the neck of Ra, my face is not covered by dust, my heart is where it should be, the power of my scriptures is endless! I am the Ra that can protect myself, I will not be attacked. Oh, Osiris, thou art my father, thou art the son of Nut, I am thy son Horus, I have seen thy secrets, I know thy secrets. I am the master of the gods, I will not die again in the underworld! "
The rest of the team reacted in panic. Peacock and Malachite attacked Chang Qianhang with their Ancient Seals but there was no reaction. It did not appear like he was corrupted by darkness. The opality-assessment stone did not glow red either. He did not appear to have triggered an illusion, he appeared to have gone mad …
Lou Xiaoning, Malachite, and Kombarov rushed forward to pull Chang Qianhang back. Uncle Dan asked from the side, "Ol 'Chang, Ol' Chang, do you still recognize me?"
"I am Ra, I will obtain eternal life with Tut!" Chang Qianhang's eyes were red. He gasped for air as he laughed. Then he suddenly screamed in terror. He struggled violently. "Horus! Come and save me, don't let me turn into this monster with a dog's face, don't let me be torn apart! "
"Probably acute delirium." Wang Ruoxiang said calmly as she took out a syringe of isoamobarbital from the med kit.
Acute delirium was a dangerous state with a high mortality rate. It could cause acute stroke, myocardial infarction and so on.
After Uncle Dan and Lou Xiaoning nodded, Wang Ruoxiang immediately injected Chang Qianhang with her mind. Just as Chang Qianhang's fright was suppressed, the ambulance arrived. It carried Chang Qianhang back to the base for further examination and treatment, especially the petrification.
The group looked at this with a heavy heart. The Great Pyramid of Giza that reached the clouds loomed over them.
Even though this was common at the frontline, it was hard to accept.
"The archaeologists are under too much pressure …" Feng Peiqian said with a sigh.
"What Ol 'Chang said earlier," Xiao Xu said, "is a prayer for the rebirth of the dead in ancient Egypt."
Even though it might just be nonsense, they still had to study the scripture closely because it might contain clues. Sometimes, people went crazy because they knew more.
"Captain Lou?" Hubbard Scott asked. He was more worried than sad. The Phecda members had become weaker.
"Wait a minute." Lou Xiaoning was still waiting for Deng Ximei.
While they were dealing with Chang Qianhang's madness, Deng Ximei did not join them. She looked up at the sky above the pyramid. She was in a different mental world.
At that moment, she seemed to see something clearer. In the sky, there was once a flock of crows.
"It's not here, this is no longer the epicenter …" She mumbled. "There's a change somewhere else. We need to be careful …"
The group thought, 'If it's not at the Great Pyramid of Giza, then it's at the Great Pyramid of Meroë?'
