While Wei Kang and Nabari were staring at the sand cat, Zhang Zian had been thinking about finding an excuse to drive Fina into the Devil's Sea. Although Wei Kang could not stop him if he insisted on going, it would inevitably raise suspicions.
The loud noise coming from the center of the Devil's Sea shocked the three of them at the same time. They felt that even the sand under their feet trembled slightly. The naturally timid sand cats were so scared that they hissed and ran around. They ran into the dead forest or dug a hole in the ground, thinking that an unknown natural enemy had arrived.
What was going on?
Was it thunder?
The night sky was full of stars. Today, as usual, the sky was clear. How could there be thunder?
So, was it an earthquake?
That was possible.
Earthquakes were often accompanied by abnormal sounds. The abnormal sound of the earth could also be a precursor to an earthquake. It was not that there had never been an earthquake in the history of Egypt, so this possibility could not be ruled out.
But could it be such a coincidence?
It just had to be in the Devil's Sea, and it just happened to be when they had just arrived at the Devil's Sea?
The faces of the three of them were very ugly. Wei Kang was regretful that the sand cat had run away in fear. Nabari was trembling, holding his head and murmuring, "Not good! Not good! Someone opened the gates of hell, and the devil is coming out of the ground … The world is going to be plunged into a sea of corpses … "
"Devil? Where is the devil? " Vladimir suddenly perked up and looked around, but at this time, everyone was in a mess, and no one paid attention to its words.
Nabari's professional quality and professionalism were unquestionable, but after all, he was limited by his level of education and religious beliefs. He would naturally attribute the strange phenomena of heaven and earth to the power of ghosts and gods, so he could not be blamed.
At this time, Gao Ke, Du Xuetao, and Xiao Tianyu ran out of the camp. Their clothes were disheveled, and their faces were pale. They shouted in panic, "Teacher! Teacher! Earthquake? Is it an earthquake? "
He He also followed. Her clothes were still neat, and her expression was calmer than the three boys.
"Don't panic! The situation is still unclear. Have some spirit of a scientific researcher. Don't be so careless … "Wei Kang waved at them with a straight face." You are late. A new sand cat subspecies has just appeared. I think it is likely to play an important role in the evolution of cats at home. "
Gao Ke and the others were woken up from their dreams. Their minds were still not clear, and they could not recover for a while.
Fei Na stared at the darkness in the distance as if he was facing a formidable enemy. He suddenly said, "It's not an earthquake."
Not an earthquake?
Zhang Zian suddenly remembered something and asked, "Professor Wei, do you still have the water and food leftovers that you previously calculated? Let me have a look. "
Wei Kang was stunned. He didn't understand why he suddenly wanted to see this, but he still took out his phone and handed it to him. "I've sent it to my phone. See for yourself."
Zhang Zian found the Excel spreadsheet on Wei Kang's mobile phone and opened it. He did not pay attention to the remaining percentages and consumption, but quickly browsed through the initial water, food, and diesel stock of Peter Lee's team.
Peter Lee's off-road vehicle was larger and had a higher capacity. It didn't need to carry a lot of instruments and equipment like the expedition team, but the average amount of drinking water, food, and diesel they brought was similar to the expedition team. With the consumption of water and food, the average consumption of diesel per 100 kilometers also decreased by about the same amount.
So, what was left in their car?
The two of them could have shared a car, but each of them had to drive a different car …
Zhang Zian thought they were rich at first, but after observing their consumption rate for the first one or two days, although it was better than the expedition team, the improvement was very limited. There was no essential difference. If they only brought limited supplies recorded in the Excel spreadsheet, with their driving skills, they should have consumed less diesel.
Inferring from this, they should have carried other supplies in the car, and the weight was not light.
After the incident of Xiao Tianyu wasting water, the team strengthened the inspection of supplies and requested to exchange and inspect supplies. However, the exchange list was arranged by Peter Lee. Basically, the expedition team checked each other, and the fraud team checked each other. The two teams did not cross-check each other.
All signs showed that this matter was not so simple.
Could it be …
Zhang Zian's heart flashed with a strange idea. Peter Lee and the others could not be so crazy …
He had always ignored a problem. Peter Lee and the others came prepared. They believed that there was an undiscovered pyramid in the Devil's Sea, and they were determined to enter the pyramid to absorb pure cosmic energy. So, if there really was a pyramid there, how did they plan to get in?
Chant the "Open Sesame" spell loudly in front of the pyramid?
This was an Arabic spell, and it would not work in front of the ancient Egyptian pyramids.
How could they use the sword of the previous dynasty to kill the officials of the current dynasty?
Peter Lee and the others were well prepared. It was impossible that they did not consider this problem.
So, there was only one jaw-dropping answer left: explosives.
Peter Lee and the others actually brought a lot of explosives into the desert!
They wanted to blow up the pyramid!
So, it was not an earthquake, but an explosion.
The muffled sound just now was their blasting work.
Understanding this answer, Zhang Zian felt bursts of exhaustion and almost lost his balance.
Who would have thought? They actually traveled with at least a few hundred kilograms of explosives!
Crazy!
It was simply crazy!
This was a desert with a temperature close to 60 degrees Celsius, but Peter Lee and the others drove with a lot of explosives. It was as if they were rushing all the way to hell!
The funny thing was that the expedition team foolishly thought that they had found a powerful backer and were overjoyed.
If the temperature rose to the limit, or if there was an accident such as an overturn or a crash, the consequences would be unimaginable. Maybe they would have already turned into a wisp of smoke floating on the yellow sand …
In the Middle East, it was difficult to get high-tech equipment such as high-performance drones, but it was not difficult to get homemade explosives. Everyone knew the reason.
Of course, Peter Lee and the others might not have brought finished explosives, but brought them in in the form of raw materials. After arriving at the destination, they made them on the spot when it was cool at night. This was safer, but it was still extremely crazy.
If they wanted money, they had it. If they wanted technology, they had it. The man nicknamed Colonel might also be proficient in explosives. These were not difficult things for them, but the pyramid did not belong to them. If they wanted to blow it up, what was the difference between them and grave robbers?
It was impossible to call the police. It was not clear whether this place was under the jurisdiction of Egypt or Libya. By the time the police arrived, it would have been ten days and a half months. Besides, the police might not care about this matter.
Then, there was a second dull bang from the center of the Devil's Sea.
