Sensing danger, Wang Feng panicked." Dad, Dad, Auntie Qin."
Wang Zhiyuan was surveying the area around the mausoleum. When he heard Wang Feng's shout, he looked up." What's wrong, Lil Feng?"
" There's someone," Wang Feng said nervously as he pointed in the direction of the sandstorm.
Wang Zhiyuan and the others had been archaeologists for many years and were very sensitive to such situations." Everyone, get ready."
Thus, everyone immediately climbed up the hill where Wang Feng was. When they saw the flying sand and dust, they were almost 500 meters away. They could clearly see six horses galloping in their direction. The six people on the horses covered their faces with black cloth.
" It's bandits. Everyone, get ready." Wang Zhiyuan and the others 'expressions changed instantly. They didn't expect to encounter bandits on their first day here. One of the two security guards immediately took out his pistol and looked at the six horses seriously. The others were very experienced and quickly buried all the equipment with sand to avoid being robbed.
The six horses arrived in the blink of an eye. The masked man in the lead reined in his horse and stood up. His pair of poisonous eyes swept across the crowd. At the same time, he held an old-fashioned shotgun in his hand. That sharp killing intent made Wang Feng's heart turn cold. They actually had guns too. This situation was not good.
" What are you guys doing?" Obviously, he didn't see that the archeological equipment had been hidden.
Wang Zhiyuan walked forward, feeling uneasy. These six people were all very big. If they fought, there would definitely be many injured people on his side. Although they had guns, it was still very scary when the bandits went crazy.
"I'm the leader here. We're here to play in the desert and experience life. I wonder who you are?”，Even though he knew the identity of the person in front of him, Wang Zhiyuan still wanted to avoid conflict. If his side was robbed, all the hard work he had put in for the past six months would be in vain.
Moreover, it was the tomb of the Qin Emperor. If other archeological teams found out, there would be no chance for him. He hoped that God would help him chase these people away.
The leader's expression was cold. He sized up everyone again, including their personal belongings. His expression relaxed when he didn't find any important items.
Alright, hand over all your valuables and we won't make things difficult for you." The leader said calmly.
" Yes, ah, you, you, hand, hand, the money over," a burly man beside the leader stammered. That stammering voice made Wang Feng happy.
" We don't have anything valuable. We only have some money." Wang Zhiyuan knew that it would be difficult to pass the test if they didn't pay something. To ensure the safety of the equipment, they had to let these people leave as soon as possible. Therefore, everyone took out all their money and put it in Wang Zhiyuan's hands. It was estimated to be tens of thousands of yuan.
The leader was very satisfied with Wang Zhiyuan's actions. The stuttering man beside him jumped off the horse and grabbed the money in his hand, handing it to the leader happily.
The leader looked at the money in his hand and scanned the crowd. His expression changed again." This bit of money isn't enough."
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. This guy was really hard to get rid of. Everyone really only had this little money. There was no more.
" Brother, this is all we have left. There's nothing else," Wang Zhiyuan said worriedly.
" Humph, search." With that order, the other five immediately surrounded the group. Under Wang Zhiyuan's signal, no one dared to move and allowed the five bandits to search their bags. They had encountered similar situations many times before, so other than some food and water, they didn't bring anything else. Therefore, the bandits did not find anything.
" B-Big Brother, these pa-paupers do look like tourists," the stuttering man said.
The leader turned his head and looked at Wang Feng. The corner of his mouth moved. Wang Feng felt that this guy had bad intentions and unnaturally took a few steps back. Wang Zhiyuan also saw it and immediately stood in front of Wang Feng.
" That little guy, come over here." The leader pointed his gun at Wang Feng and waved it, signaling Wang Zhiyuan to move away.
Wang Zhiyuan didn't move, but he was anxious." Big Brother, he's just a child."
" It's none of your business. I want to ask him a few questions," the leader said hatefully. Then, seeing that Wang Zhiyuan still didn't leave, he signaled to the five bandits. The five bandits immediately stepped forward to push Wang Zhiyuan away and forcefully brought Wang Feng to the front of the leader's horse.
This was the first time Wang Feng had encountered such a situation. He was a little dumbfounded. Did they like to kill people? They wouldn't kill him, would they? He heard that bandits liked to eat human flesh, drink human blood, and capture children. She immediately became nervous.
"Little guys, what are you doing here?”The leader did not believe that these people were just tourists. At least, it did not seem like it.
Wang Feng's palms were sweating, but his physical condition that he had been in for two years still made him more determined. When he heard the question, he pondered for a moment. This guy must be trying to get information from him. He wouldn't say anything and just make things up.
" We're tourists. We were going to the oasis in the south, but we got lost, so we came here," Wang Feng said loudly, feeling wronged. He wanted everyone to hear it so that he wouldn't be exposed. He had already seen the map when he came. There was an oasis 30 kilometers south.
" Kid, you're not telling the truth." The leader pointed his gun at Wang Feng's forehead.
" No!" Wang Zhiyuan and Auntie Qin shouted at the same time.
The leader looked at the two of them with a hint of a smile in his cold eyes." Then tell us what you're here for and if you're hiding anything valuable."
At this critical moment, Wang Zhiyuan and the others were afraid that the leader would be angry or accidentally fire. Then Lil Feng would be gone. Wang Zhiyuan was anxious. He knew that the bandits would not believe his words. However, he was nervous about the Qin Emperor's tomb and his son.
" We're really here to play. If you don't believe me, look at this." Before Wang Zhiyuan and the others could say anything, Wang Feng quickly took out a map from his backpack. There were many markings on the map, including some cities, oases at the edge of the desert, and the route here. Wang Feng had originally planned to let his father let him go alone after the archeology was done, so he made travel arrangements. Now, he didn't know if he could convince the bandit.
The bandit looked at the map and frowned. He seemed to believe Wang Feng and threw the map to the side.
" I don't care if you're here for a vacation or not. We'll take your food and water with us. If you have a bank card on you, tell us the password. This little guy will come with us," the leader said without any hesitation.
" What? They want to take Wang Feng away?" Everyone suddenly understood. This robber must be trying to get his hands on our bank card so that Lil Feng can follow him to withdraw the money. Lil Feng is small and easy to control. It's not easy to expose them when withdrawing the money. Moreover, we don't have a horse here. The phone is different. Even if we call the police, the money will probably be gone.
The five bandits didn't allow anyone to hesitate. They approached them and wanted to search them.
Wang Zhiyuan was about to stop him when he suddenly thought of the security guard with a gun. If the gun was found, they would be in big trouble.
" If everyone has it, just take it out. I'll reimburse it when we get back," Wang Zhiyuan said helplessly. They couldn't afford to make any more mistakes now. Lil Feng, I'm sorry. We can't protect you now. I hope you can be safe.
There were more than ten people, but only five of them had bank cards. One of them was the financial manager of the archaeological team. There were more than 200,000 yuan in all the funds from the archaeological team. Wang Zhiyuan was so distressed that he was about to cry. If these guys took away all the food, water, and money, he would really have to go back. All his efforts would be in vain.
Wang Feng could tell that his father had made up his mind. He knew that he couldn't use force in this situation, and he couldn't afford to anger these bandits. He nodded at Wang Zhiyuan and said," Dad, don't worry. I'll be fine."
" Don't worry, I won't hurt him, as long as he works with us." The leader was very satisfied with the performance of Wang Zhiyuan and the others. After Wang Zhiyuan wrote down their bank card passwords, he took them away.
" Wait," Wang Feng suddenly said.
The leader turned to look at Wang Feng." What?”
" I don't have any other requests. I just hope that you can leave the food and water behind. I'll withdraw all the money for you. If you don't agree, I won't leave with you," Wang Feng said firmly. He knew very well what it would be like to lose food and water in the desert.
The leader looked at Wang Feng with interest and actually revealed a smile." Interesting little fellow. Alright, I promise you, as long as you get the money."
Even though Wang Zhiyuan and the others heaved a sigh of relief, they were still extremely worried about Wang Feng's departure.
" Excuse me, can you send my child back?" Wang Feng had never gone out alone like this before. He was very worried. What if these bandits took the money and killed him to keep it a secret?
" Don't worry, we'll let him go." The leader smiled strangely.
" Lil Feng, you have to be safe," Wang Zhiyuan said as tears streamed down his face. He hugged Lil Feng reluctantly.
" Kata, bring this kid along," the leader said. The one called Kata pulled Wang Feng onto the horse and galloped away. Wang Feng looked back at Wang Zhiyuan and the others." Dad, I came back."
Auntie Qin walked to Wang Zhiyuan's side and patted his shoulders gently. She said gently," Lil Feng is a good child."
Suddenly, Wang Zhiyuan saw the horse carrying Wang Feng fall, and Wang Feng was thrown five to six meters away.
Wang Feng was dizzy from the sudden situation. Before he could react, his body seemed to be sinking. He tried his best to pull the sand around him, but he found that the speed of sinking was faster. Not good, it was quicksand. Wang Feng immediately realized that he had fallen into the terrifying quicksand.
Wang Feng's head buzzed. It's over, it's really over this time. He didn't expect that his only archeological expedition would actually... Dad, Mom, their bodies kept sinking.
" Lil Feng." At the same time, everyone saw Wang Zhiyuan rushing at Wang Feng like a madman. Aunt Qin immediately pulled Wang Zhiyuan back, and five or six people quickly came over to pull Wang Zhiyuan back.
" Lil Feng, Lil Feng!" Wang Zhiyuan wanted to rush over but was stopped by a few people. They all knew that once they fell into the quicksand, there was basically no chance of survival.
" Everyone, hurry up and find some rope and something longer!" Someone shouted, and everyone immediately became refreshed and started to look for something.
The bandit leader didn't pay much attention to Wang Feng when he tripped. He didn't expect such a situation to happen. He was stunned for a moment. When he heard the shout, he immediately swung his whip and arrived in front of Wang Feng. He didn't want Wang Feng to die. That was money.
Wang Feng tried his best to grab the horsewhip, but his hands and feet kept sinking into the quicksand. The more he struggled, the deeper he sank. His hands could no longer grab the horsewhip. The bandit leader tried his best to get close to Wang Feng, but the quicksand around Wang Feng seemed to have expanded. However, the bandit leader's whip could not reach it.
Wang Feng's hands, feet, and body seemed to be pulled back by the force from below. In a short while, only his head was left.
" Lil Feng, Lil Feng, if you're gone, how am I going to explain this to your mother?" Wang Zhiyuan threw himself onto the beach and cried loudly.
" Dad, I'm leaving. I might be gone forever. Remember to take good care of Mom." Wang Feng's body was squeezed so hard that she couldn't even speak. Gradually, Wang Feng felt suffocated, and then she couldn't feel anything.
