It was not without reason that Zhang Ziqiang's Rebirth Team had not considered developing an organization in the mission world. The time given by the Lord God to complete the mission was not much. In the world of The Mummy and Ghost, only a short two weeks had passed between the rescue of O'Connor and the resurrection of Imoden, and the time taken for the protagonist's party to send Imoden back to the Underworld was less than a few days.
The entire mission period added up to no more than twenty days at most.
Moreover, the Lord God was not the kind of boss who would sit back and watch you progress leisurely. The entire plot would be subdivided into different stages, and each stage had a corresponding mission. At present, the team's mission was to protect O'Connor and his party until they reached the City of the Dead.
Judging from the mission rewards, the reception that O'Connor and his party received was not as simple as the attack on the Nile River in the original plot. During the long journey across the desert, they would encounter a lot of trouble. Storms, desert bandits, warlords, and even the Pharaoh's mausoleum guardians in the original plot would definitely appear, and even the mysterious protective forces on the periphery of the City of the Dead.
In the original plot, the City of the Dead itself was protected by supernatural forces, and even the Pharaoh's mausoleum guardians who had guarded there for generations did not dare to offend it. Otherwise, when they were about to get rid of O'Connor, the guardians would not have sensed the abnormalities in the City of the Dead and fled in panic. And when they fled, the huge struggling head that appeared in the sand dunes also clearly showed the danger here.
After carefully asking O'Connor about his escape from the City of the Dead, Chen Ang was already certain that the mysterious Pharaoh's mausoleum guardians must be afraid of some kind of existence and power near the City of the Dead. There was an endless amount of gold there, and it was not because of their faith that they did not dare to touch it. They were afraid of a real danger.
Based on their understanding of the Creator's moral principles, both Chen Ang and Zhang Ziqiang believed that their journey would not be as peaceful and smooth as in the movies. If that kind of danger really existed, then the Samsara team had to be prepared for it.
Because of this, and the time when Chen Ang set up and controlled the relevant plot characters was completely within the predetermined plan, Zhang Ziqiang let Chen Ang go. Although Zhang Ziqiang knew his plan, he still reminded Chen Ang, "Tomorrow, Evelyn will come to find O'Connor who lost the map and the key. After the three of them meet, it will be a very critical turning point in the plot."
"Based on my experience, the Main Gods will definitely force us to start our journey as soon as possible in order to increase the difficulty and competition."
Chen Ang nodded and said, "I've already expected this. Otherwise, if we try our best to delay the meeting time between Evelyn and O 'Connor, or force them to suspend their departure, wouldn't we gain a long time to prepare for nothing? If this sort of delaying method succeeded, it would clearly not be in line with the high efficiency that the Sovereigns needed. So, when the time comes, there will definitely be an unexpected factor that will force us to prepare to depart immediately. "
"And this unexpected factor will either be a compulsory mission, or the sudden appearance of a mission time condition. This is too crude and simple, and not in line with the Main Gods' usual objectivity and style of doing their best to minimize interference. Or, there will be punishment measures, and they will borrow the hands of other Samsara teams to accomplish this goal. So, the meeting time between O'Connor and Evelyn is a key point, and also a hidden preferential treatment that the Main Gods have given to us, the weaker teams. "
"My guess is that the time when O'Connor and Evelyn meet will decide when that Samsara team will enter. If we deliberately delay, that Samsara team will enter at an uncertain time. This will cause us to lose our advantage in information, and it will turn into a punishment for us to passively carry out the mission. "
As he spoke, Chen Ang tapped his finger on the wooden table and said, "The time when Evelyn meets O'Connor tomorrow is the time when the enemy Samsara team will enter. After tomorrow afternoon, they may arrive at any time."
Zhang Ziqiang propped his hands on the table, looked at Chen Ang, and said doubtfully, "Now that you know this, will the plan change accordingly?"
Chen Ang shook his head, "Not to mention that we have already considered such variables in advance, even the amount left in the plan is enough to deal with it. In the world of mummies, the three key plot characters in Cairo City are the three protagonists, but there are only three forces that are really related to the main plot and can influence the general situation. That is, the good and evil forces that have appeared in the City of the Dead, Imoden's priests and the Pharaoh's guards. "
"Eddy, the leader of the Pharaoh's guards mausoleum guards, is secretive, and it is difficult to contact him in a short time, but the librarian Evelyn works for is a member of the mausoleum guards. And on Imoden's side, although it seems that he only controls the mummies in the City of the Dead, the truth is that we Samsara travelers who have seen Mummy II know that Imoden does not have no subordinates in this era. His forces, like the Pharaoh, have been passed down for thousands of years … "
"You mean the British Library's curator, Haftz, more than ten years later?" Zhang Ziqiang suddenly realized, "In the second part, it was he who brought people to dig out the two scriptures and resurrected Imoden."
"But we can't get to London in a few days!" Zhang Ziqiang said solemnly.
Chen Ang laughed in a low voice, "The antidote has to be found in the place where poisonous snakes appear, and the traces of the people we are looking for can also be found out from their enemies. Two hostile organizations that have been passed down for thousands of years, do you believe that they know nothing about each other? "
Zhang Ziqiang was stunned and nodded after a long time, "Imoden woke up after thousands of years, he may not know about his subordinates, but the mausoleum guards have been entangled with those people for thousands of years, so they are indeed the most likely to know. So, to find Imoden's priests, we have to find Evelyn's curator first, and we can also cut off the opportunity for other Samsara teams to contact him. "
Zhang Ziqiang lowered his head and calculated, "Imoden has the priests, and the Pharaoh has the mausoleum guards, so which third party are you talking about?"
Chen Ang pointed to where he was sitting and said, "Of course, it's the colonial government and the United Kingdom. Now, the United Kingdom is still the protectorate of Egypt. You don't think that Egypt, which has been oppressed by colonization, has magic, priests, mummies, supernatural forces, and an empire that never sets on the sun, would be so simple?"
"The colonial government, or the United Kingdom behind the colonial government, specifically the Suez Canal Company, is one of the three major forces that can affect the main mission, and this force is divided into two parts. One is the decaying colonial government that we are currently controlling, controlling the administrative power, and the other is the Suez Canal Company, a behemoth that has the terrifying backing of the United Kingdom that has colonized the world for hundreds of years."
"One of them has all-pervasive influence, and the other has decisive military force that can directly overwhelm both sides. In other words, the Suez Canal Company has the power to make Imoden stay in one piece. I don't know if he used the Ark of the Sacred Covenant? Or the Holy Grail? But for England to be able to conquer Egypt, in order to protect their vital Suez Canal, they must have the corresponding trump card. "
Zhang Ziqiang thought for a long time and nodded in agreement with Chen Ang's judgment. On one hand, Chen Ang used the threat of money and bombs to quickly buy over and control the selected prisoners in the prison. This was the largest prison in Cairo, and there were hundreds of prisoners. They came from all corners of the city, and they were the most well-informed.
On the other hand, Chen Ang carefully sorted out the information, and on the other hand, he chose targets that were easier to tame and influence. He scattered a lot of gold, and after killing a few felons to establish his authority, Chen Ang finally established his authority, and he also set up a lot of informants in the city.
These carefully selected ears would gather all the information about the city from all directions to this place.
And the first order that Chen Ang gave them was to find and pay attention to suspicious strangers and collect all information about these strangers. They had to pay special attention to people with strange clothes, especially clean clothes, and related people who were hiding their heads and tails.
At the same time, they also got most of the information about the city.
Chen Ang purposely took some time out to give them some simple training. At the very least, he had to train them on how to filter, how to obtain relevant information, and how to build an intelligence network. He also specially found the heads of the children in the prison and the city, and used these children to build a second layer of intelligence to cross-compare.
At dawn, Chen Ang and Hong Fan went out together to the library that Hong Fan had checked out.
