She didn't know how many times she had seen this famous building … The huge Sphinx stood on the golden sand, and next to it was the world's largest pyramid.
"This … this is?!"
Claudia felt like she was in a dream. Just a second ago, she was still in the British Empire, in that seaside school, but after stepping through that door, she … she had arrived on another continent?
She even thought that this was a very realistic 3D painting … It was the kind of flat 3D painting that was drawn on the street like a cliff … But obviously, this wasn't the case!
What kind of 3D painting could be shown in all directions?
Was it a virtual projection technology?
Don't joke around. This kind of hot weather, this kind of burning that made the skin scream, and the feeling of stepping on the sand, all proved one thing.
She indeed crossed the continental plate in an instant and came to another country thousands of miles away that once had a brilliant ancient civilization.
"You … you are … you are …"
Claudia's voice trembled as she looked at Luo Qiu. She was so shocked that the pepper spray she had secretly hidden in her hand dropped to the ground.
Boss Luo glanced at the thing that Claudia dropped … He waved his hand as if he had never seen this kind of thing before, "It's called the Critical Gate … You just need to set a coordinate, and it can connect two different coordinates. It's quite convenient."
Claudia opened her mouth. As Luoqiu waved his hand, she saw a door that was gradually disappearing … On the other side of the door, it was obviously the stairs in front of the [Butterfly Society] department.
Claudia couldn't help but pinch her … little belly — Ouch!
Boss Luo walked slowly toward Claudia … This female student was shocked and stepped back subconsciously. She said with cold sweat, "You … What do you want to do? Kill, kill me? "
Luoqiu, "Why do you have this kind of idea?"
Claudia hurriedly said, "If what I experienced wasn't an illusion, then it means that you have mastered some methods that are far beyond human knowledge … This should be some kind of space technology … Although I can't explain it clearly or even understand it, obviously, as long as it's an individual … or even a country, it's obviously crazy to get this technology. And I, a small student, am obviously in danger now because I know this secret … So, isn't it normal that you want to kill me?"
Strictly speaking, this wasn't an official transaction, so Boss Luo didn't act like a normal customer … He didn't even know that he was being a little playful. He chuckled and said, "Student Claudia, maybe I should … En, it should be like what you said."
"No —!"
The female student suddenly screamed and threw the suitcase in her hand at Boss Luo, "You … Don't come over! I've learned Taekwondo and karate!! I … I know Kung Fu! Tai Tai Tai Tai Tai Tai I learned it from an old Chinese gentleman in the park! A, a big watermelon! "
Looking at Claudia's not-so-standard posture of a peacock on the yellow sand, Luo Qiu thought of the old man in the park that she mentioned. For some reason, a ballad popped up in his mind.
— A watermelon is round and round,
— Split it in half with a slash,
— You take half, he takes half,
— You don't want it,
— You don't want it …
Emmmmm … That old man in the park should be the real deal … Probably.
"Sorry for scaring you." Boss Luo shook his head and simply snapped his fingers, "Don't worry, you'll soon forget about this."
Claudia's eyes immediately became vacant, as if she had become muddle-headed. However, this state didn't last for long … She quickly regained her senses.
"Eh, where is this?" Claudia's eyes gradually regained clarity as she looked around in confusion.
"The pyramid." Boss Luo said indifferently, "After we got off the plane, we came all the way here … Did you forget that the person who sent us here just left not long ago?"
"Oh … Yes." Claudia rubbed her forehead, "I might be too tired … But why did we walk into the desert without any equipment?"
Boss Luo's fingers behind his back quietly snapped again. He looked at Claudia and smiled, "Equipment? Aren't we wearing equipment? "
"On … on?" Claudia subconsciously lowered her head, "Eh, when did this happen? Just now … Was it because it was too hot and I was hallucinating? "
She was wearing equipment suitable for walking in the desert, and there was also a backpack with supplies under her feet … Claudia squatted down to check and found that the things in the backpack were very tidy and sufficient. Yes, this was indeed her style of packing.
"Well, the supplies are indeed sufficient … Oh, when did two camels appear here?" Claudia couldn't help but rub her head again. She felt that many things didn't seem to be like this, but it also felt like it was originally like this … She even gradually felt that these things that suddenly appeared were actually natural!
"Come on up." Boss Luo easily flipped onto the back of a camel and looked at Claudia casually said, "You already know how to ride a camel now."
Already know … Already know? When did I know … Oh, I know how to ride a camel.
Claudia found that she easily flipped onto the back of a camel … Haha, it's amazing. She couldn't even remember where she learned how to control a camel. As for horsemanship, she learned it in the girls' high school when she was studying.
This is probably the so-called understanding by analogy … Yes, it must be like this!
…
"Where are we going?" Claudia skillfully rode the camel and walked side by side with Luoqiu. She quickly woke up from the various inconceivable reasonings and remembered the purpose of coming here this time: to find clues about the mysterious disappearance of her father, Professor Xie Jiatu, and to go to the site of Professor Xie Jiatu's original exploration project.
"Let's go to this place first." Luoqiu handed a small note to Claudia.
She opened it and found a group of numbers with symbols … Claudia was stunned, "Latitude and longitude? Where is this place? "
Boss Luo said indifferently, "It's a place related to [Golden Pupil]. As for what we can find specifically, we will only know after we arrive at this place."
"Where did you get these coordinates?" Claudia frowned — She should be the one to mention [Golden Pupil] to Luo Qiu, but ever since her father disappeared, she had been investigating. Other than the name [Golden Pupil], she didn't know anything else about [Golden Pupil].
How did he know … He only knew about it for a few days, but he already found clues about [Golden Pupil].
"A witch lady gave it to me. She had been in contact with [Golden Pupil] before … If they are the same person." Boss Luo said with a smile.
"Oh, witch … witch?" Claudia blinked and then shook her head. Suddenly, she felt that it was reasonable for a witch to appear. She pondered and said, "I can't tell the exact location of the coordinates, but based on the latitude and longitude, it should be around here … Since the witch gave the coordinates here, and my father came here to investigate the ruins … [Golden Pupil] should be the same person. But how are we going to find [Golden Pupil] in this sea of people? "
"Just keep walking," Luoqiu said in a very familiar tone, "Something will probably happen on the way."
"How do you know?" Claudia couldn't help but be suspicious.
"Ying Wei often does this." Boss Luo joked and said, "My physique is more prone to strange things … Of course, even so, it's not all bad."
Claudia thought that it wouldn't be that easy. There was only desert around here, and the golden sand even made people's eyes hurt. There was no one here, how could anything happen?
Suddenly, there was a sound in front of them — it was probably on the other side of a sand dune … It seemed like someone was moving on the other side of the sand dune.
Claudia couldn't help but open her mouth … She felt that this was just a coincidence — this place was originally near the world's largest pyramid, a very famous scenic spot, so it was common knowledge that there would be tourists nearby.
"Should we … go and take a look?" Claudia said excitedly.
"Why not?" Boss Luo said meaningfully, "This is an unforgettable adventure … It's too monotonous, wouldn't we have come for nothing?"
As he said, Boss Luo patted the camel's hump … The camel slowly walked towards the sand dune.
Claudia thought that this was not wrong — she was also a curious person, so she couldn't restrain herself and quickly chased after the camel.
It was very convenient to travel in the desert with a camel as a vehicle … They quickly climbed up the sand dune and saw the place where the sound came from.
It would have been better if she didn't see it, but after seeing it, Claudia couldn't help but gasp.
On the other side of the sand dune, several old off-road vehicles were chasing after a camel that was running desperately … There was a masked person on the camel, who looked like a male.
And on the off-road vehicles, there were people constantly peeking out and attacking the person on the camel — shotguns, powerful crossbows!
"… What are they doing?" Claudia took a deep breath.
She actually knew what was going to happen next, but she needed a firm answer at this time.
"It's obviously a chase." Luo Qiu glanced at it, "The people in the car seem to be bandits in the desert."
"The person who escaped is coming towards us!" Claudia's voice suddenly became nervous, "What should we do … They seem to have discovered us!"
"Classmate Claudia." Boss Luo blinked and said, "I didn't learn Taekwondo or Karate, and I don't know the powerful Taiji Fist … So, can you protect me? Wait a moment."
Claudia was dumbfounded and said in exasperation, "You … Are you a man?"
Boss Luo shook his head and slowly turned over to get off the camel, "Then we can only surrender … If we don't resist, these bandits probably won't kill us immediately."
Claudia didn't know what to say — In just a moment, the man on the camel who was being chased had rushed to the front of the two of them.
At this time, the several off-road vehicles that came quickly overtook the camel … The off-road vehicles spun in front of the chased man, Luoqiu, and Claudia.
At this moment, the camel that the masked man was sitting on suddenly cried out in alarm and fell to the ground. The camel's hind leg had been pierced by a powerful crossbow arrow while it was retreating.
"Save … Save me …"
The masked man was thrown two or three meters away by the camel and fell to the ground … He hurriedly got up and raised his head to send a signal for help to Luoqiu and Claudia.
The off-road vehicles also stopped at the same time. From each vehicle, two or three meters tall dark-skinned men walked out. They had weapons in their hands and narrowed the encirclement step by step …
Claudia clenched her fists and recalled the Taekwondo and other fighting techniques that she had learned over the years … She took a deep breath and when the bandits were getting closer and closer to her, Claudia moved!
She raised her hands abruptly and shouted, "I surrender!"
"Then I will surrender too." Boss Luo said slowly in a voice that only Claudia could hear … At the same time, he also raised his hands to show that he didn't intend to resist.
Seeing this scene, the masked man who was being chased suddenly became discouraged and sat down in despair.
It didn't take long for the bandits to drive the masked man, Luo Qiu, and Claudia into the same off-road vehicle. Then, they quickly left this place.
…
"If I knew you were so useless, I wouldn't have run to you." The masked man sighed heavily, "My camel wouldn't have been shot by the crossbow … You know, they didn't hit me even once along the way!"
"You think we are happy? If not for you … "Claudia suddenly said emotionally … But soon, she was calmed down by Luoqiu who was sitting next to her.
Boss Luo looked at the masked man who was being chased and suddenly asked, "Mister, how should we address you?"
The masked man glanced at the young man and woman squeezed in the back seat. He frowned and simply said, "Arria … is a local."
