The sky gradually darkened, and O'Connor noticed that the atmosphere in the camp was getting more and more tense. The people of Horus's Eye were busy. They went back and forth, moving things from the ruins of Hamunaptra, moving the sarcophagus and the buried mummies to an open space, and laying steel plates on the sand to set up camp and fortifications.
They seemed to be building a huge fortification with the part of the ruins of Hamunaptra exposed on the sand as the center.
O'Connor could not figure out what they were doing. Someone mixed salt and lime and sprinkled it around the edge of the fortification. There was also Dr. Terence, who was leading a group of mysterious Egyptian scholars, setting up something everywhere.
As dusk approached, the people of Horus's Eye in the camp seemed to have been whipped, and they began to work faster.
O'Connor told Evelyn to stay in the tent carefully while he went out to gather information. Unfortunately, everyone he asked was either clueless, or those who knew were tight-lipped. O'Connor knew that he would not be able to get any information out of the members of Horus's Eye, but when he went to the airstrip that had just been set up nearby, although he was stopped outside by the guards, he met an acquaintance.
It was Winston, who had served as an officer in the Royal Air Force when he was in the British army.
He had once been a conscientious and conscientious officer, but after the First World War, he had developed mental problems due to the deaths and injuries of his comrades, and had become an alcoholic fatty. When he saw him, O'Connor could not believe it. The handsome gentleman of the past was now like this.
O'Connor had only asked a few questions before he was pulled away by Winston. Winston took him to a quiet corner and whispered to him, "O'Connor, I don't know why you're here. But you can't tell me this in front of the people of Horus's Eye. Are you trying to get me killed? "
O'Connor also lowered his voice and asked, "What the hell is going on? You're a member of the Royal Air Force. Why are you here and listening to the orders of a bunch of yellow people? "
Winston regained his muddle-headedness and answered him with sloppy, drunken eyes, "There's no such thing as the Royal Air Force! Those loyal to the British Empire have been personally dealt with by our superior! Now, the Royal Air Force troops stationed in Cairo are not so much the British army as the troops of the Eye of Horus. "
"A large number of Egyptians joined our army without screening. Our commander transferred a large number of new planes, and then quickly carried out a cruel purge of the entire army. Some people disappeared, some were taken away, and when they came back, they were completely changed. If I hadn't been so fatuous for so long, they wouldn't have kept me until now. "
O'Connor was inexplicably shocked. He had not expected the situation to be this bad. He grabbed Winston by the collar and asked, "What kind of organization is the Eye of Horus? What was their purpose in coming here? Who are those yellow-skinned people to the Eye of Horus? Winston? Does London know about what happened in Cairo? "
Winston did not answer. 'Get out of here,' he advised in a low voice. Hurry up and leave Egypt! My friend … this place is about to become hell on earth! "
"Winston? What are you doing here? "A cold voice came from behind them.
O'Connor quickly turned around and saw a lean soldier in the uniform of the Royal Air Force staring at them. His eyes were so sharp that O'Connor felt uncomfortable. When Winston saw him, his face turned pale. He pushed O'Connor away and shouted, "Don't come looking for me again, you bastard!"
Then he left with the officer angrily. Before he left, he gave O'Connor a subtle look and mouthed a reminder, "Run! O'Connor, get out of Egypt! Get out of their control … "
O'Connor watched as this once brave soldier walked into the darkness. He knew in his heart that his friend might never appear in front of him again. O'Connor suppressed the huge anger and panic in his heart and clenched his hands tightly. His nails dug deep into his skin, and traces of blood seeped out.
As the last ray of sunlight disappeared below the horizon, the darkness between heaven and earth swallowed the place in an instant. It was as if there was no buffer between light and darkness. A rustling sound rang out quietly beside them. Everyone in the camp could hear the dense flapping of wings in the distance. A huge searchlight was turned on, brightly illuminating the City of the Dead.
Everyone finally saw what it was. Not far away, in the darkness that seemed to be within reach, countless dense black shadows gathered to form a huge swarm of insects, surging toward the camp of the City of the Dead. Countless locusts attacked everyone like a tide. The strong light from the searchlight shone 300 meters away before it was obscured by the swarm of insects that blotted out the sky.
That kind of scene was enough to make one's scalp tighten and heart numb just by looking at it.
O'Connor pulled Evelyn, who was next to him, and shouted to Jonathan, "Run to the tomb, don't stay here anymore!" But when they rushed out of the tent area, they saw the people of Horus's Eye in the camp with guns forcibly suppressing the order in the camp. Hundreds of mysterious figures in black appeared on the periphery of the camp, and six huge water tankers were parked outside their camp.
O'Connor saw Chen Ang standing on the altar. Below him were the sarcophagi and mummies that the people of Horus's Eye had carried out. They had only cleaned up less than half of the underground buildings of the City of the Dead, and they had pulled out hundreds of such mummies. Most of them were slaves buried with the dead, and a small number were the Pharaoh's guards and the priests buried with Imoden.
In the face of the overwhelming swarm of insects, Chen Ang gently waved his hand, and the people of Horus's Eye in black took down the nozzle of the water tanker and shot a mist of water into the air in front of them. Just when O'Connor was puzzled, he smelled a special smell and said in surprise, "That is? Gasoline! " Chen Ang made a gesture, and six oil columns were ignited in the air. Six fire dragons circled and swam, burning the swarm of insects with crackling sounds.
Chen Ang took out the black Book of the Dead and launched a spell that he had already prepared. He used the natural flow of cold and hot air in the middle of the fire dragons to create a rotating airflow. With the addition of the whirlwind, the wind helped the fire. Six fire dragons circled around the tornado, and the wind columns continuously sucked the flames into the tornado, like six pillars of fire blocking the swarm of insects and the camp.
Before the fire weakened, no matter how many locusts there were, they would not be able to take a step closer to the camp.
As Chen Ang reached out with one hand and held the void in front of him, the reversed torrent of flames pushed forward together with the tornado. Chen Ang signaled the people in the oil tanker to get down, and then he lifted his right hand slightly, and the huge tornado pulled the six oil tanker cars together into the tornado. As Chen Ang reversed the wall of fire, a huge explosion occurred in the tornado. The overwhelming flames were like a tide, rolling back towards the swarm of insects. From mid-air, it could be seen that the two huge tides had merged together.
The bright flames swept in the direction of the swarm of insects, burning everything to ashes.
O'Connor watched this shocking scene. He watched as the hundred-meter-tall wall of fire pushed forward, forming a raging wave of fire that drowned the swarm of insects. He watched as Chen Ang calmly parted the huge sea of fire, creating a path without flames, just like Moses parting the sea. With a gesture from Chen Ang, the hundred-meter-tall flames slowly parted in front of Chen Ang, letting in fresh air, relieving the suffocation of the camp. He was like a god, and O'Connor almost lost the confidence to resist him.
Even though he had just faced great humiliation, O'Connor could not help but ask himself, "Do I really want to be enemies with that man?"
In the sealed chamber of Ra, Imoden, who was bound in place by the symbol of Ra, howled at the sky. The decaying mummy tissue on his body turned into flowing sand, swept up by the wind. Imoden's entire body turned into a flowing sandstorm, rushing left and right in the circle that Chen Ang had melted with salt and gold. It was very painful.
