Richard saw the pistol, too. "Quack, quack, quack!" he cried again. Let me remind you, you can't shoot with a pistol! "
Zhang Zian took out a wet towel from his pocket and put it on his hand, then pulled out the pistol from the holster.
He had seen this kind of pistol in war movies. It seemed to be called a Browning or something, and it was heavier than he had imagined.
"Zian, this …" Old Time Tea's eyes widened, revealing a look of worry.
He nodded. "I know. This thing has not been repaired for a long time, and a lot of dust has entered it. If I shoot it, it might explode, but it's still good for scaring people."
After checking, the safety was off, so it was safer to carry it.
He wiped the Browning with the wet towel and pinned it to the back of his waist, just like in the movies … It was very uncomfortable.
Fina could not wait any longer. It had been holding back its temper, and now it said angrily, "What the hell are you waiting for? If you are afraid, then stay here. I am going to teach them a lesson! "
It jumped out of the car window and ran to the north side of the pyramid.
"Meow, meow, meow …"
Snowy Lionet also jumped out of the car window, and then … fell flat on its face.
Fortunately, it was sand. Other than its face full of sand, it was fine.
"Don't worry — listen carefully. They are still in the north, and they have not entered the tower," Zhang Zian advised. "Even I can hear them, so you should hear them even more clearly."
Old Time Tea also advised, "Your Majesty, don't be impatient. Don't fight for a moment of bravery."
Fina did hear the sound of rubble being cleared from the north, but it was too concerned and lost its usual calm. It only thought that if it could stop them now, why did it have to delay until they entered the tower?
"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. Let's first find a way to investigate their situation over there, then work out a safe plan to win with one strike. "
Zhang Zian said, returning to the side of the car and dragging out Nekhbet, the drone that had made great contributions in this scientific research operation.
He already knew that there was a strong magnetic field interference due to the mineral veins underground. Releasing the drone was a risky move, and it could crash. But in any case, the safety of himself and the elfins was more important.
The drone was quickly assembled and took off with a remote command.
A lot of noise and ripples appeared on the usually clear screen of the remote control, indicating that the signal transmission was also interfered with. However, this was a high-performance professional drone after all. The signal transmission and reception power were strong, and it could still fly despite the interference. It was not comparable to ordinary toy drones.
He didn't dare to let the drone fly like it usually did, and he didn't dare to let it go beyond his field of vision. He only controlled it to climb vertically.
The top of the pyramid appeared on the screen. He slowed down and carefully raised his vision bit by bit.
Finally, the situation on the north side of the pyramid appeared on the screen.
Peter Lee's off-road vehicles were parked haphazardly in the open space on the north side. There were also several large suitcases with open lids on the ground. They could not see what was in the suitcases, but it could be the explosives they had brought.
They were usually well-dressed, but now they had turned into laborers. Every one of them was dirty and covered in dirt. It was almost impossible to tell if they were men or women. They used their suitcases as transportation tools. Two people carried one, and they moved the gravel out.
They had driven for a day and worked all night. At this time, they should be at the end of their tether. They were relying purely on their willpower to hold on.
Not far from their field of vision, there was a faint clanking sound. It could be that they were using tools such as chisels to repair the exploded passage to facilitate passage.
As they worked, they looked back to the north from time to time. They seemed to be talking about something. Perhaps they were discussing whether the expedition team had heard the explosion and whether the expedition team would follow in to see what was going on.
The sun was rising higher and higher, and the temperature was rising rapidly.
High-intensity labor under the sun was suicidal. That was why they worked all night.
They knew this, but they did not stop. It was like they were making a final sprint.
Zhang Zian was worried that the drone would stay for too long. They would occasionally look up and see it. When they got a good look, he would control the drone to land on the hood of his car, ready to take off at any time.
"How is it?" Old Time Tea asked.
Zhang Zian frowned. Although he could see the situation clearly, the area around the pyramid was too empty. There was not a single sand dune. There was nothing that could serve as cover. Once he and the elfins appeared on both sides, they would be discovered immediately.
The bottom of the golden pyramid was about a hundred meters long. Even if Fina was extremely agile, even if Old Time Tea was invincible, plus Famous and Vladimir, if they wanted to rush to Peter and the others, they would first have to run more than 50 meters, and there was no cover within these 50 meters.
Invisibility was also not feasible, because the elfins were full of hostility and intention to attack Peter and the others. Invisibility would also be revealed.
What if … Peter and the others had guns?
This was not impossible. Since they could get explosives, it was not difficult to get a few guns. It was said that AK-47s and RPGs were wholesale in Africa.
Fina saw his face and knew that he did not have any good ideas. She snorted and said, "Forget it. You guys retreat to a safe place. I will go by myself."
"Your Majesty …" Old Time Tea wanted to persuade Fina again. Where there is life, there is hope.
Zhang Zian also wanted to say something, but suddenly heard Famous say, "Hey! You guys come over and take a look! "
Everyone's attention followed the sound and fell on Famous.
They didn't know when it had run a little further, but it was digging the sand with its front paws at the side of a slightly bulging sandbag, as if it had found something.
Zhang Zian and the elfins trotted over and looked down at the sand pit it had dug.
In the sand pit, a corner of the military uniform was exposed. It was another mummy buried in the yellow sand.
Famous had smelled the same smell as the previous mummy, so he had found this mummy.
But what was the use of finding it? Even if he found a gun on this mummy, Zhang Zian did not dare to shoot it. Besides, at a distance of 50 meters, the lethality of a pistol might not be as good as a javelin.
Famous continued to dig, expanding the sand pit on the side of the mummy's body. "There is something next to it."
Zhang Zian saw that it was so sure, so he helped it dig.
Soon, his fingers touched a cold, hard object. Touching it through the sand, it felt like metal, but it was much thicker and longer than a pistol. Could it be an assault rifle?
Brushing away the sand, the unknown object revealed itself.
It was not a gun, but a telescopic iron ladder. It was both strong and heavy.
Zhang Zian and the elfins were stunned. Why did these soldiers bring a heavy ladder from so far away?
