"This is an international mercenary organization. Most of its members are veterans from various countries. They usually operate in Central Asia. Recently, they learned that the Niya ruins were discovered by an expedition team, which is the so-called Jingjue Ancient City.”
After Yang Xueli finished reading the notes, she said to us," They sent four combat teams this time, with six people in each team. They've been in the Black Desert for half a month. A few days ago, they discovered a group of stone tombs here, so they left a team here..."
"Wait a minute."
Fatty Wang suddenly interrupted," They should be closer to Jingjue City from the west. Why would they come here?"”
Fatty Wang had been very dissatisfied with Yang Xueli from the beginning because she didn't let him join the archeological team. Usually, he liked to pick on her when he had nothing to do, and it was the same now.
"There are our garrison troops on the west side.”Jianjun Hu said.
"Fatty, don't cause trouble."
Zhang Lei glared at him and said to Yang Xueli,""Miss Yang, please continue."
Yang Xueli didn't care about Fatty. She was already used to it. She continued,"The remaining team has dug more than ten stone tombs in a row these few days, but they didn't find anything. They plan to dig a few more tonight and leave.”
"And then I happened to run into the two of you?”Fatty Wang muttered again.
"Are we unlucky?"
Ye Yixin couldn't stand it anymore and replied,""It was clearly their bad luck. So many people were killed by Zhang Lei alone.”
This girl hated Fatty for saying that they were unlucky. She was also deliberately angering him. She deliberately emphasized the words "Zhang Lei alone" and did not forget to give Fatty a provocative look.
Fatty's mouth was never at a disadvantage. He knew that Ye Yixin was deliberately exposing his shortcomings, but he was thick-skinned and did not care at all. Instead, he sneered,"Tsk, you speak as if Zhang Lei is your man.”
Zhang Lei was speechless. How could he be shot like this? Did I offend you?
"Alright, stop arguing."
Professor Chen, who was deep in thought, suddenly said seriously,"Those mercenaries and grave robbers have already entered a few days in advance. We have to set off immediately to capture them. Otherwise, the ruins of Jingjue Ancient City will definitely be destroyed by them.”
Zhang Lei, Jianjun Hu, Xueli Yang, and the others looked at the old professor speechlessly.
Go catch them, what are you thinking?
Why is your heart so big?
We're an archeological team, and there are only four of us who have combat power. The other party has three combat teams of 18 people. They're all well-equipped mercenaries who have been licking blood for a long time. Do you think they're 18 thieves?
Even if it's 18 thieves, we don't have enough manpower!
Although Zhang Lei didn't quite agree with the old professor's words, he was right about the first part. He had to leave immediately.
Although in the original novel, there was also a group of foreign grave robbers who were eventually killed by the black snakes in the Zaglama Valley, it seemed that there were only a few people. Now that the world had become a level 3 world and 18 well-equipped mercenaries, who knew if the black snakes could still kill them?
What if Black Snake didn't kill them?
What if they blew up Jingjue City?
Then wouldn't I become Blind Zhang?
With Professor Chen's persistence and Zhang Lei's support, the team did not continue to rest and set off again.
They marched for another two days and went deeper and deeper into the Black Desert. They did not encounter any unexpected situations. Moreover, there were two white camels along the way, so they often found some small oases.
There was no shortage of clean water along the way, and everyone's life was not too difficult.
Fatty Wang had been pestering Zhang Lei since two days ago to see his large caliber pistol.
Zhang Lei had no choice but to let him take a look. However, this guy fell in love with this gun the moment he saw it and insisted on pestering Zhang Lei to ask where he could buy this gun.
Hearing Fatty's question, Commander Hu and Yang Xueli were also interested. In fact, they were also very curious about where Zhang Lei got this gun.
Commander Hu was very knowledgeable, but he had never seen such a powerful large-caliber pistol. Yang Xueli knew that this gun was called the Desert Eagle, but she also knew that this gun had just been on the market not long ago. How did Zhang Lei get it?
Looking at everyone's curious eyes, Zhang Lei had an innocent look on his face. How would I know? This was given to me by the system. If you have the ability, go ask the system yourself. Why are you asking me?
But he couldn't say that.
He could only tell the story that he had already made up.
At first, I hid in a corner and beat up a mercenary and snatched this gun from him. As for where he bought the gun, I don't know. You can ask him yourself.
Alright, that mercenary was long dead.
He could be a loyal scapegoat.
Although everyone guessed that Zhang Lei might be trying to shift the blame, they really couldn't find any fault with him, so this question was left unanswered.
However, this matter did not affect everyone's respect for Zhang Lei. If not for him, the archaeological team would have been in trouble.
Because of this, Zhang Lei now had a faint sense of backbone. Whether it was Yang Xueli, Jianjun Hu, Fatty, or even Professor Chen and Hao Aiguo, they all talked to him as equals, and no longer treated him like Chu Jian and the others.
Zhang Lei could feel that the current archeological team was much more united than in the original novel. Although everyone in the original novel could take care of each other, their hearts were not as united as one.
Both King Hu and King Li were eager to turn back as soon as possible. At that time, they only wanted to earn some money. Old man An Liman was the same. He was always looking for an opportunity to escape…
However, things were different now. The Hu and Wang brothers did not mention anything about turning back. Old man An Liman was also very confident because of the two white camels. At the same time, he was the person who admired and respected Zhang Lei the most among everyone.
In his eyes, Zhang Lei was able to gain the trust of the white camel, which meant that he was Hu Da's messenger.
Hu Da's position in his heart was supreme, so Zhang Lei was also supreme.
The team moved forward in harmony and peace, but the world was unpredictable. There was a saying that people's plans were not as good as God's plans, and accidents would always happen inadvertently.
