The destination was an oasis in the desert with a water source.
The off-road vehicle slowly drove into a village-like place inside the crude mud wall … Although they were kidnapped by the thugs, they were not blindfolded.
Therefore, through the window, Boss Luo still saw some people living in this village, most of them were women and children.
There were two armed men guarding the entrance. As for the clothes, most of the people here wore the same, loose clothes and a white cloth wrapped around their head.
Along the way, the man who called himself Arria didn't even bother to talk to anyone. After he introduced himself, he fell asleep easily. It was said that he hadn't slept for two days and two nights because of this escape. He was really sleepy.
That's right, for this escape, Arria had already fallen into the hands of this group of people. After he successfully escaped, he was caught again.
After the off-road vehicle stopped, Arria was violently kicked awake. He cursed in a low voice, and finally, Boss Luo and Claudia were brought to a dungeon-like place.
Strangely, during this journey, the thugs seemed to have remembered something to keep secret and actually came here to cover the three of them with black cloth.
"Don't think about escaping again, next time we will bring back your corpse!" After the thugs left this warning, they directly locked the dungeon door … They threw in a water bag and a few biscuits through the only small window of the dungeon door and directly left.
Arria was obviously very used to this kind of treatment. He immediately picked up the water bag on the ground, drank the water and ate with big mouthfuls. At this time, Claudia was busy using her teeth to bite the rope tied to her wrists.
Why was the rope tied to the front and not the back?
Probably because the thugs were very clear that if they did not use tools like metal handcuffs and just used a rope to tie people up, it was actually the same as not tying people up … There was always a way to untie the rope.
"These guys are too unprofessional." Claudia obviously thought of this point, after easily biting the knot on her wrists, she could not help but show an inconceivable … or even confused expression, "What's the point of tying us up like this? Luo, let me help you undo it … Eh, when did you undo it? "
The rope fell from Boss Luo's hands to the ground. He said slowly, "Their supplies are probably not that good, so they used this kind of rope … Of course, maybe they felt that it was okay to not tie themselves up. After all, normal people would have a hard time opening this big iron door."
Claudia couldn't help but feel a sense of despair when she saw the only passage in the stone room. She seemed to want to find a place to vent, so she glared at Arria. "You still have the mood to eat at a time like this?"
Arria turned around and ignored her. He covered his water bag and food tightly as if he was afraid that someone would snatch them away … Claudia couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Actually, she knew that this bag of water and food was probably all that they had for the next one or two days. The thugs obviously would not give them any preferential treatment. In fact, it would be best if they were so hungry that they had no energy left.
But how could she still be in the mood to eat? Fear had already caused her heart to be in a mess, and her face turned pale. If it wasn't for the fact that she wasn't the only one here, she probably would have cried long ago.
"What will we become?" Claudia's voice had a hint of sobbing … She raised her head and looked at Luoqiu blankly.
Boss Luo was walking around the stone room, knocking on the stone wall from time to time. Hearing this, he turned around. Just as he was about to say something, Arria suddenly sneered.
He straightened his body and began to untie the knots on his hands slowly. He said in British with a thick local accent, "The best case scenario is that you will be caught by them to give birth to the next generation. These guys are in need of manpower, and they especially like children. Because they like to teach their children how to fight from a young age, so you will keep giving birth until you die. "
"Nonsense!" Claudia couldn't help but hug herself tightly in fear. Her voice trembled … She was the "iron virgin" of the academy. Not to mention a boyfriend, she didn't even have the experience of kissing a man other than her father. She couldn't imagine what kind of hell it would be to give birth to the next generation for a group of strange men.
Unexpectedly, Arria laughed at this time. His eyes even became somewhat wretched … He laughed wretchedly and said, "You think giving birth until you die is enough? It's far from enough! Let me tell you, this place is in need of women! Especially white skin like you, they like it the most! So, after you die, your body will be preserved with a special method and turned into a corpse prostitute. If you take good care of it, it can last for at least a few years! Tsk tsk tsk! "
"I don't want to!!!" Claudia suddenly screamed and stood up. Her body was trembling in fear.
"The method of making this kind of corpse should have been lost." Boss Luo suddenly asked, "Did the people here discover this method, or did they restore this method themselves?"
Arria originally wanted to tease this little girl to pass the time. He didn't expect to be asked such a tricky question. He was stunned at once, "How do I know this? If you have the ability, why don't you ask them directly? "
"Mr. Arria, have you seen a corpse prostitute?" Boss Luo blinked his eyes, "I have never seen one with my own eyes before, so I'm curious … Can you describe it?"
"Oh … God!" At this time, Arria showed a painful expression. He patted his head vigorously and said as if he was wailing, "I'm really unlucky for eight lifetimes. Why do I have to meet guys like you who like strange things again?"
"You guys?" Luoqiu smiled slightly.
Arria subconsciously said, "I was originally a local guide, responsible for bringing people into the desert … Not long ago, I brought a guy here. Later, I was caught by these bastards and brought here. Sigh, I feel that I also smell the stench of Alto on you! You all look like people who don't know the difference between life and death. "
Hearing that Arria was a local and often brought people in and out of the desert, Claudia subconsciously glanced at Boss Luo … Her eyes suddenly lit up slightly.
Luoqiu knew what she thought, so he looked at Arria and asked, "Mr. Arria, you are a local guide, then have you accepted a job similar to being a guide for the archaeological team?"
Arria directly lay down, his hands supporting his head and his legs crossed. He yawned and said, "There are so many people who want me to be a guide, how can I remember to hire so many? Why do you ask this? "
"We are here because …" Boss Luo was about to speak … As a person who always spoke the truth, he really intended to say the purpose of this trip: to find someone.
Unexpectedly, Claudia hurriedly interrupted at this time, "We are also here for archaeology! We are about to graduate from university, so we want to do a course about the pyramid, so we came here! "
Boss Luo opened his mouth … But he saw Claudia quickly walking over, pulling him back a few steps, and said in a low voice, "My young master … Can you be more careful? We don't know the background of this guy! Be careful! Be careful! "
Boss Luo directly didn't say anything … It was actually good to be more sincere, wasn't it?
At the same time.
"Not interested, not interested." Arria shook his head … He waved his hand and suddenly changed the direction of his head to lie down.
Claudia thought for a while, then took two steps forward and said in a low voice, "Mr. Arria, I want to ask something from you."
Arria didn't move.
Claudia didn't give up and quickly said, "If you can tell me useful information, I can give you a reward."
Arria immediately turned around. The corners of Claudia's mouth curled up slightly, as if she was very pleased … with herself as she looked at Boss Luo.
Boss Luo found it interesting, so he let her be … He examined the walls of the stone room. There seemed to be some patterns carved in the dark … They were murals, and they looked quite old, as if they depicted a certain period in ancient Egypt.
"What can you give me in return?"
On the side, Arria and Claudia continued their conversation, and Claudia said in delight, "What do you want? I can give you dollars, or pounds! "
Arria stared at Claudia without blinking, as if she was unmoved.
Claudia couldn't help but frown. "You don't like it? I can exchange it for local currency … How about a thousand, um, two thousand dollars for your local currency? "
"Girl, I do like dollars a lot." Arria, however, sighed, and then looked at Claudia as if she needed his care. "Let me give you a kind suggestion … In this place, even if you promised me a gold mine, it wouldn't be as appropriate as giving me a glass of water. But right now, you don't even have a drop of water, let alone a glass of water … Because all your water is in my hands, haha! When you're thirsty and can't take it anymore, you'll have to beg me, understand? White girl? "
"You …" Claudia couldn't help but turn pale at the rebuke.
Like a deflated balloon, she instantly stopped talking, as if she had been dealt a heavy blow. She quietly found a corner and curled up.
At this moment, she was even more afraid … and it was only at this moment that her fear erupted like a flash flood.
She hugged her knees and buried her head, her body trembling slightly … but there was no sound of crying. Arria casually glanced at her and ignored her.
Instead, he was more interested in the other young man who was also trapped here … Luoqiu was holding a lantern and carefully examining the murals on the wall in the candlelight.
Hmm … a lantern?
Arria was abruptly stunned, and then hurriedly stood up. But he was in such a hurry that his left foot bumped into his right foot, and he fell to the ground again … He hit his teeth, and his mouth was full of blood.
He couldn't help but cry out.
Hearing the noise, Claudia subconsciously raised her head … Her eyelashes were stuck together, and her eyes were red. This female straight-A student was so stubborn that even if she was crying, she didn't intend to disturb anyone.
She quickly wiped her eyes, and when she opened her mouth, she found that her voice was hoarse, so she deliberately lowered her voice and asked solemnly, "What happened?"
Arria couldn't care less about the pain at that moment. Covering his mouth, he pointed at the lantern in Luoqiu's hand in disbelief. "Lantern! Lantern! Where did he get the lantern? Why is there such a thing in this godforsaken place?! "
Claudia instantly looked at Arria in confusion, and then looked at him with a caring gaze as she said indifferently, "It's dark here. Isn't it natural to light up a lantern? If you don't want to see anything, just close your eyes. "
Arria opened his mouth … It wasn't the problem of lighting up a lantern when it was dark, but he had been locked in this place for a long time, and he couldn't find a single thing, so where did the lantern come from … and such an exquisite lantern at that!
Why did this little girl say it as if it was natural!
"This place … is the inside of a pyramid," Luoqiu put down the lantern in his hand and turned around to look at Claudia and Arria.
"Pyramid?" Claudia couldn't help but be startled, and subconsciously walked in front of Boss Luo. She also looked at the mural on the wall, "What did you find … Why are we in a pyramid? Weren't we kidnapped by those thugs and brought to their camp? It's a bare place, isn't it? "
Boss Luo shook his head and said indifferently, "This pyramid doesn't go up, it goes down."
"What do you mean?" Claudia suddenly frowned … but her straight-A student attribute suddenly activated, and she said in shock, "You mean, the pyramid is built deep underground? Inverted triangle? "
"It should be like that." Boss Luo nodded.
"Oh my god!" Claudia was shocked, "This is really a huge discovery … If what you said is true, then this pyramid might be one of the most important discoveries in human history! A pyramid buried in the ground upside down! "
Arria ignored Claudia's exclamation, and even ignored the question of why Boss Luo had the lantern in his hand, and asked in a low voice, "Young man … can you understand the painting on the wall?"
"I can understand a little." Boss Luo nodded.
Arria became silent, as if he was thinking about something, and didn't say a word … the stone room suddenly became eerily quiet, until the big iron door of the stone room suddenly opened!
Three masked thugs with guns escorted a middle-aged man who looked weary and tired into the room … but unlike them, the food given to this middle-aged man was obviously much better.
Claudia saw that this weary man was holding a carton of milk in his hand!
The thugs quickly closed the big iron door … the middle-aged man glanced into the stone room and saw Arria sitting on the ground with his hand covering his mouth. He frowned subconsciously.
"Arria, you failed."
Arria sighed helplessly, "Yes, my old friend … I came back to accompany you again. But I guess you have no chance to help me escape from this damn place. They must have known that it was you who helped me escape. So the plan to get reinforcements is completely ruined! "
The weary man shook his head. He had already noticed that there were two more people in the stone room, and now he looked at them with confusion, "They?"
"I met these two kids when I was escaping, and they were lucky enough to accompany me back here." Arria shrugged, and then suddenly said, "Oh yes, this young man seems to be like you, he can also understand the painting on the wall … Alto."
Alto … was obviously the name of this weary man.
