A magnificent work of art was collapsing in front of them. This was a huge loss to human society. Neither Zhang Zian nor the elfins could sit back and watch.
The bigger something was, the more shocking its death would be. For example, the death of the golden pyramid was ten times more shocking than the whale's fall.
Zhang Zian restarted the car, thinking about how to stop Peter and the others. However, the other side had a lot of people, explosives, and possibly weapons. He was afraid that reasoning would not work. If he used force, he was afraid that he would not be their opponent. He could only rely on the power of the elfins.
Old Time Tea patted him on the shoulder and suggested, "Zian, it is not appropriate for us to appear directly in front of the other side. If we disagree, it is very easy to have a conflict. At that time, we will be in a dilemma."
Zhang Zian also thought of this. Whether it was a negotiation or a fight, he could not directly expose all his cards in front of the other side.
Therefore, he made a slight turn and did not go straight to the golden spire. Instead, he moved forward in a crescent arc, intending to go around the back of the pyramid and catch Peter and the others off guard.
They entered the Devil's Sea from north to south. The location where Peter and the others worked was also located on the north side of the pyramid. As a reference, the entrance to the robber's cave of the Great Pyramid was also located on the north side, so they followed suit and exploded on the north side, betting that the internal structure of the golden pyramid was the same as that of the Great Pyramid.
Zhang Zian quietly went around the honeycomb-like sand dunes to the south side of the golden pyramid.
The golden shell on the south side was less affected by the explosion. Although there were several fine cracks, it had not collapsed, showing the exquisite craftsmanship at that time.
The average annual rainfall here was zero, and the greatest threat to the building was basically non-existent. If no one disturbed it, the golden pyramid would still stand there safe and sound for thousands of years.
"Stop! There is a situation in front! "
Famous was wearing military windproof goggles with the function of filtering ultraviolet rays. Its vision was also better in the sun. Along the way, it stuck its head out of the open window in the back seat and kept looking around.
Zhang Zian had to pay attention to the road in front of the car to prevent it from driving into a pit again. He had no time to pay attention to the situation further away. The vision of the other elfins was limited to varying degrees under the strong light.
He instinctively stepped on the brakes and asked nervously, "What's wrong?"
"Look over there. What's that?" Famous stared ahead and said.
Now they knew that the honeycomb-shaped sand dunes were actually sand and stones accumulated during ancient mining, possibly including the scraps polished from the construction of the pyramids.
There was a circle of open space around the pyramid, about twenty meters wide, with no sand dunes.
Famous was the first to see it. There were several bulges in the open space, as if something was half-buried in the yellow sand.
Zhang Zian picked up the binoculars. To his surprise, it turned out to be a few cars … No, rather than cars, it was more like a few piles of scrap metal.
There were a few VW82 bucket trucks that were almost completely buried by the yellow sand. There was also a military truck that was painted in desert camouflage with a black iron cross painted on the door.
Seeing this eye-catching symbol, he immediately thought of the skeleton of the Wehrmacht Afrika Korps.
Obviously, as early as the middle of the last century, there was an army that had not been recorded in the history books that had secretly visited this place. However, the vehicles that were abandoned here … probably meant that no one could return alive.
The equipment of these soldiers could not be compared to modern expeditions, but their tenacious willpower was enough to make up for this shortcoming, especially since these should be carefully selected elite troops.
What unexpected situation did they encounter?
Zhang Zian felt the need to check, so he drove the car closer and stopped.
"Be careful," Old Time Tea reminded him. "There may be traps that protect the tomb."
Zhang Zian felt that the possibility of a trap was not high. What kind of trap could remain in good condition after two thousand years? It was not a tomb raiding novel, where a thousand miles of desert was the best trap.
However, he was still cautious. He removed the aluminum frame from the roof rack and assembled it to form a long stick to explore the road. He was not worried about traps, but the quicksand from last time really scared him.
After repeatedly poking and poking, he dared to move forward carefully.
"Quack! Look at your cowardly look! "
Richard took advantage of the fact that it was not too hot in the morning, so it fluttered its wings and flew out, landing on the roof of a VW82.
The other cars were buried too deep in the sand, and only the roof was exposed. It was possible to dig it out, but it would take too much time. Only this car, perhaps because of its parking position, the wind and sand were blocked by the truck next to it, and one side of the door could still be seen.
After safely approaching, the window must have been a blur. Zhang Zian tried to pull the door, but it was not locked. It took some effort to open it.
A dried corpse wearing a military uniform tumbled out and fell face down on the sand.
"Quack! There's a dead person! "Richard flew up in shock." My little heart is beating fast! "
"Keep your voice down!" Zhang Zian glared at it with a warning. "Are you afraid that people will think you're mute?"
The bottom of the golden pyramid was about a hundred meters long, and the area it occupied was only about a quarter of the large pyramid. In other words, more than a hundred meters away was Peter Lee and the others.
Although it was difficult to bypass the sound of the pyramid, and Peter Lee and the others must be speeding up the construction, cleaning up the rubble from the explosion, and the noise was very loud. They probably would not think that Zhang Zian had gone around to the other side, but it was still better to be cautious.
Richard closed its mouth resentfully.
Zhang Zian resisted the nausea and tried not to look at the skin of the mummy that was exposed outside the military uniform. He roughly examined it and found no holes in the uniform, which meant that the person had not died of external injuries.
There were too many ways to die in the desert. If he wanted to accurately find out the cause of this person's death, he would have to make a big move, such as an autopsy. However, Zhang Zian had neither the skills nor the time, so he could only assume that this person had died of illness.
Of course, his mind couldn't help but think of the so-called "curse of the pyramid," but now was not the time to think about it. It was useless to think about such illusory things. If he said it, it would affect the morale of the army, and he would be despised by Vladimir.
He was worried that this person had died of poisoning, or that there were germs left on his body, so he did not dare to touch it directly. Instead, he removed a small section of the bracket and knocked on the mummy to see if he could find any documents or the like. This would help him know the exact purpose of the army's visit.
When he knocked on the waist, the aluminum alloy bracket made a crisp sound of metal colliding.
He carefully lifted the hem of the mummy's military uniform with the bracket and found a pistol in a holster.
