Watching the expedition team's headlights disappear, Zhang Zian waved at the elfins. "Let's get in the car and go."
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? You can't stop talking! Are you deliberately going against me? "Fei Na roared in exasperation.
"Meow meow meow! Your Majesty! He did it on purpose! Do you want to kill me? I'll do it for you! "Snowy Lionet finally caught the opportunity and called out gloatingly.
"Don't be impatient. The situation is not as serious as you think."
Zhang Zian picked up the sleeping Richard from the driver's seat and threw him to the back. When the elfins were all in the car, he fastened his seat belt and started the car.
"The situation is not serious? There were two explosions. How serious do you think it is? "
His casual attitude made Fina even angrier.
Zhang Zian said as he drove, "At first, I thought that Peter Lee had succeeded, but when I heard the second explosion, I was relieved."
"Why?" Fina asked, gritting her teeth.
His words had successfully whetted her appetite, but if he couldn't come up with a convincing explanation, she would make him pay for his words.
It was very dangerous to drive at night in the desert, especially in such a complicated environment. Zhang Zian stared at the road in front of him and analyzed the situation in an orderly manner. "We have visited the pyramids, and you know better than me that the pyramids are made of boulders. They are very strong and cannot be blown up so easily. Besides, I think that no matter how brave Peter Lee is, it is unlikely that he can get high-performance military explosives. He probably brought slightly better raw materials for homemade explosives and then mixed them on the spot. Using homemade explosives to blow up the boulders of the pyramids is not something that can be done in a short time. "
The giant granite that formed the pyramids was too thick and strong. Without modern blasting and cutting tools, it was very inefficient to break through the walls with homemade explosives.
Zhang Zian had already imagined what Peter Lee would do at this time.
According to his inference, Peter Lee must have learned about the structure of the pyramids through his visit to the Great Pyramid. The location of the robber's hole in the Great Pyramid had also become an important reference. It was likely that he had chosen a similar location.
Explosives were placed on the selected boulders, detonated, and then manually cleaned up the rubble so that further explosions could be carried out, and so on.
With each explosion, they had to carefully check the firmness of the ceiling and walls to prevent a sudden collapse that would bury them inside. If necessary, they had to use wood or brackets to reinforce it.
This detailed and complicated work was not something that could be done casually.
"If I'm not wrong, there will be a third, fourth, and even more explosions. Even if they work through the night, they may not be able to blast open a passageway by dawn. We should be able to make it in time if we rush there now," he concluded.
"Are you sure?" Fei Na asked.
Zhang Zian was helpless. "I'm very confident, but unless I see it with my own eyes, who can be 100% sure?"
"Tsk! What a sweet talker! "Snowy Lionet clicked its tongue in disappointment.
Fei Na finally calmed down a little, because it admitted that what he said made some sense. It had always thought of itself as a very reasonable cat.
Due to its remoteness, her pyramid was certainly not as large as the Great Pyramid, and the stone would not be as thick, but it was still very strong because the construction process was more advanced than that of the Great Pyramid. After all, the Great Pyramid had been built more than 2500 BC.
It could only comfort itself. Since it had already been blown up, one or two explosions did not matter. Even if it flew over now, the damage to the exterior was a foregone conclusion. As long as her sarcophagus was not damaged, it would be fortunate. If they could get there in time, they could still have time to expel them and then find a way to seal the passage that had been blown up. The simplest way was to blow it up again and blow up the top of the passage.
Driving around the dense, beehive-like dunes, especially at night when it was dark, it was easy to get dizzy and lose your way.
Peter Lee's car tracks in the morning were already difficult to identify. Zhang Zian had to stop frequently and let Famous find their route by smell because it was safer to follow their route.
Sure enough, after driving for about an hour, the third explosion rumbled.
Maybe it was because it was closer, but the shock was stronger than before.
Along the way, the headlights often shone on some small animals, including sand cats, that were frightened and fled in all directions. They were not frightened by the headlights, but by the high-frequency noise and vibration that accompanied the explosion.
Every explosion was like a hammer hitting Fina's heart. It was anxious and wanted to reach its destination in one step, then use its sharp claws to teach Peter Lee a lesson.
"Faster! Faster! "it kept urging.
Zhang Zian was already driving very fast, and he did not dare to go any faster.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. More haste makes waste!" Old Time Tea advised. "The speed of the car is so fast. It would be bad if the horse lost its front hooves."
"How could that be? The ground here is flatter and stronger than the desert outside … "
Before Fina finished speaking, the car suddenly shook violently.
Old Time Tea, Fina, and Vladimir reacted quickly and moved nimbly. At the moment of the shaking, they had already wrapped their claws around the seat belt to stabilize their bodies. Fina still had the strength to pull Snowy Lionet.
Xinghai was shaken, and it did a light somersault in the air. With its head down and feet up, it used its limbs to kick the roof of the car and fell back into its seat.
Famous, on the other hand, used its seat belt to hold its chest, and was not affected.
Richard was the unlucky one. Although it had been woken up, it was dark in front of it, and it could not see anything clearly. With a squeak, its head hit the roof of the car, and after it fell down, there was another small head on top of its big head …
"Ga! What happened? Do you know how to drive, idiot? I've had enough! "Richard painfully covered its head with its wings and complained.
The shock just now was very strong. Zhang Zian was worried that the chassis or suspension would be damaged, so he quickly stopped to check.
He took a flashlight and poked his head under the car to take a brief look. The chassis and suspension seemed to be fine. After all, the ground was sand, not asphalt, and a knock was not fatal.
He was really careless just now, because the ruts on this part of the road were more obvious. He had been driving forward along the ruts, and his mind was a little relaxed.
He stood up and shone the flashlight on the road that he had just driven.
Several deep ruts appeared on the sand, overlapping each other. Some of them were made by him, and the others were left by Peter Lee and the others.
A slightly sunken sand pit lay between the ruts. Because the inside and outside of the sand pit were the same color, he had not noticed it before, and had just rolled over it.
But how could there be a sand pit here?
