bit stealing game

Chapter 85 Cold Sun

In the vast desert, a red sun rises from the horizon, blurring the boundaries.

The last night has finally passed.

Fortunately, the newly born sun can also be used for positioning. Even if we couldn't make it to the temple of Thutmose III, we still walked in the set direction. We didn't know whether it was luck or not, but we soon met Lai Xun.

Our He Rongchuan and Li Yuan were leading the right way. If he hadn't turned back last night, he might have caught up.

Li Yuan, who had stopped thinking about it, looked as usual, and even seemed lighter as if he was relieved. However, it was difficult for me to really feel relieved.

He Rongchuan burst out laughing as soon as we met: "Boy, was this a rough night?" He used his eyes to check whether we were injured with concern.

Li Yuan was still wearing his old man's shirt with holes in it, so he could be seen clearly. I was wrapped like a rice dumpling, with a bloody bandage around my neck. I looked really miserable. The only thing I'm glad about now is that the person who came is

Relatively speaking, He Rongchuan looks like a normal person, but I still left a pair of pants for Li Yuan.

"Come on, let's go back and have a rest. If you have anything to do, we can wait until we get some sleep." He Rongchuan didn't ask any further questions, but just led us back quickly. He didn't mention it, and I didn't dare to ask where the others were.

, for fear that Li Yuan would be stimulated.

The simple camp was silent. No one was moving around. Even a few camels were lying quietly. This was expected. Those people were probably already in the temple of Thutmose III. Only one person was slightly silent.

He was sitting outside with his back bent and looking around uneasily, but he didn't forget to grab a handful of melon seeds to crack.

Isn't it Lou Shiqi?

This guy was really lucky. After being pulled down into the sea of ​​​​sand, he hugged the roots of the tree and was not hit by the quicksand. When the tree sank, the quicksand also stopped. Lou Shiqi obediently obeyed: wait wherever you get lost.

The principle he followed did not leave. Jiang Can found Li Yuan when he followed him.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that Lou Shiqi was fine. But seeing how exhausted he was, I was so angry after having been hungry all day and almost dying in the desert. If I hadn't been too thirsty, I

I really wanted to put that lollipop in my mouth and chew it to pieces immediately.

Before I could grab Lou Shiqi to spread the evil fire, I was stopped in place by a voice.

"What did you do last night?" Karl walked out of a tent with the curtain open with a bad look on his face. "Why is there blood on you?"

Following his words, more people appeared from different places, and it seemed that they were busy with different tasks just now. Arnold pretended to comb his curly hair back with his hands, revealing the golden roots, and looked at him with concern.

to us.

I was completely stunned. I subconsciously tightened Li Yuan's coat to cover the bloody bandage on his neck. I turned my head stiffly and only saw Li Yuan's cold side face.

"Are you surprised that we are back? Do you still want to know where your people are, Mr. Buswell?"

Sure enough, Buswell was standing in the crowd wearing a long trench coat, his eyes fixed on our side.

Li Yuan didn't even raise his eyelids. "The blood on her body is mine." If someone else had shed so much blood, they would have gone west long ago. Li Yuan can still stand here to challenge and no one is asking. "As for sending us there?"

For those who made extra trips last night, I’m afraid you can only ask the Lord of the Desert.”

After saying that, Li Yuan asked He Rongchuan to lead the way to 279's territory. The people from the United Nations stared at us gloomily and slowly moved into everyone's sight. It's no wonder that Lou Shiqi just stood outside nervously.

Staying in the enemy's camp. When passing by Busville, his probing eyes fell on me, causing me to straighten my body to prevent myself from shivering with cold.

Arnold followed up with two cups of camel milk coffee and handed them to me and Li Yuan respectively.

"What's going on?" I ignored the bustling Arno and asked as soon as I arrived at 279's site, "Why are Buswell and Karl staying in the camp? Didn't they go to the temple?"

He Rongchuan and Lou Shiqi looked at each other.

"You didn't tell them?"

"What's going on?"

"Yesterday's sacrifice failed. The temple of Thutmose III did not appear." Jiang Can walked from outside the camp. His boots were covered with snow and mud stuck to his feet.

Failed?

I looked at Li Yuan. He seemed to have guessed this situation, frowning and asked: "Then what did you do just now?"

"Work."

Jiang Can dropped these two words, went into the tent, took something, and walked out again. Li Yuan didn't stop him, but just followed him. I quickly took off my coat and gave it back to him. Arno pointed at Li Yuan

, nodded to me, and left together.

279 That's it, go all out for something you don't know if it can be done.

The snow in the desert came suddenly and went away gracefully. Before the sun could reach its position, the thin white layer disappeared, replaced by the vitality that bloomed all the way under our feet.

"There are no people in this desert, so it's useless to drive."

"A flower blooms on its own, it doesn't matter whether anyone is watching or not."

Lou Shiqi picked up a wild flower that had been stepped on, looked around, and pinned it in the buttonhole of his clothes. Now there are only three of us left in the camp, but neither Lou Shiqi nor He Rongchuan can say no.

Know what to do next.

I was really exhausted, so I told them to call me if anything happened. I drank two mouthfuls of water and didn't even bother to eat, so I entered the tent and fell asleep.

I slept from morning to afternoon. Most of my luggage was lost when I encountered quicksand. In fact, compared with nature, no matter how sophisticated the equipment is, it is useless.

When you are full from sleep, your stomach starts to protest.

Lou Shiqi and Chang Xiao were squatting on the sand roasting chicken, with many leftover bones scattered around. Everyone had abandoned their helmets and armor, but they still had meat to eat. If it hadn't snowed, it would have been just a lack of water.

It can paralyze movement.

Seeing me approaching, Lou Shiqi handed the one in his hand to me.

"The people over there know how to hunt and give it to us."

How could he even get food from his mouth? I was so surprised that I took the heavy roast chicken, tore off a leg and ate it. The strong roast chicken tasted a bit astringent, with an indescribable smell.

"What did you put in it? There's something wrong with it."

"We don't even have salt, so we roasted the freshly made ones over there." Lou Shiqi pouted at James, the drunk next door, who was pouring the last drop of wine into his mouth.

"Why don't you eat?" I said doubtfully.

Before Lou Shiqi could say anything, Chang Xiao asked, "As an archaeologist, have you ever learned how to identify bones?"

I nodded. "But I only know people."

"You can also identify human bones by looking at them." Chang Xiao used a branch to poke at the chicken bones he had finished chewing in front of him. "Can you use these bones to look at the one in your hand?"

How difficult is this? I put most of the remaining roast chicken rack back on the fire, and the bones were restored in a short time.

"What did you spell?"

"A chicken that refuses to rest in peace."

Lou Shiqi was holding back his laughter. Chang smiled and said, "No, these bones can make a barn owl."

"What?" I thought I heard wrong.

"It's just a kind of owl." Lou Shiqi continued.

How is it possible to make an owl out of chicken bones? I looked at the dinner on the fire again, and it really didn't look like a chicken. But maybe the wild ones are stronger?

"You think it's impossible because you are eating it, and barn owls are not common poultry." Chang Xiao still had the same half-dead look on his face.

I turned my head and looked at Lou Shiqi in disbelief. "Is this an owl? You want me to eat an owl?"

"You really think I can give you a roast chicken." He smiled mischievously. "But don't worry, this is not a protected animal. There are them everywhere except the North and South Poles, and there are quite a few in this area alone."

I glanced at the roasted owl on the fire, covered my mouth and ran out to vomit. I rinsed my mouth for a long time, and when I came back I saw Lou Shiqi holding up the owl I had thrown down and eating enthusiastically, and almost vomited again.

come out.

"Is there something fucking wrong with you?" My stomach was churning. I took the owl from his hand and threw it on the ground. "Don't eat it. You won't be able to go to the temple anyway. If you endure it, you can go back."

"Who said we can't go?" Chang Xiao slowly gathered his bones on the ground.

When I thought that someone had chewed up an owl, I felt completely uncomfortable. It took me a while to realize what he meant.

"Didn't I fail yesterday? It was the full moon I borrowed on the last day." Although I really want to see the temple of Thutmose III, I would rather that my and Li Yuan's wishes were in vain.

"Didn't your archaeological team treat us to dumplings seven days ago?" Chang Xiao said.

"Why, one owl is not enough for you, and you are still thinking about dumplings?"

"You see, you will always be taken away by others." Chang Xiao looked at the barbecue I threw on the ground for the second time and sighed with regret. "The good roast bird was wasted by you. You yourself

If you don’t eat it, don’t let others eat it.”

Lou Shiqi nodded vigorously at the side.

I thought to myself that I was still sleep deprived and had no idea what I was doing right now.

"Do you still remember why your archaeological team made dumplings?"

"Because of Laba."

"What about seven days after Laba?"

"After seven days of Laba, it will be fifteen."

After saying that, I suddenly realized the problem.

"Today is fifteen!"

Chang smiled and nodded.

"No matter how round the borrowed moon is, it can't be as round as the real one."

Although they are not sure whether the real moon will work today, everyone is still going all out to prepare. Li Yuan will naturally not be idle, and even now I have not even seen any 279 members except Chang Xiao and Jiang Can.

Chang Xiao patted my ass and left after giving me a hard time, leaving behind a sentence: "Human thinking is like this. It is easy to be misled by existing conditions and use your own cognition to construct the unknown. But always

There are times when common sense is not needed.”

I always felt that he couldn't just eat the owl to disgust me, but I couldn't figure out what his intention was.

Lou Shiqi's and my dinners were covered in sand, and neither of us could remove the scratches from the sand sculpture. We both felt that it was the other's fault. In the end, we had to break Lou Shiqi's remaining piece of chocolate in half and eat it separately.

.It’s not that 279 doesn’t give us food, it’s just that no one cares about us now.

Stephanie walked past us in a majestic manner, and I followed her to where they wanted a lot of normal game. If I really can enter the temple tonight, I can't let hunger hold me back.

After eating, Lou Shiqi's eyes lit up. When he saw that my team uniform had a small tear on my shoulder, he came over and asked me to patch it up.

I moved my shoulders and avoided it.

Lou Shiqi was stunned.

"You still want to sew it directly on my body? Do you want to compensate if it pierces my flesh?"

Lou Shiqi smiled, took the team uniform jacket that I took off, and stitched the stitches in a few strokes, and it was mended quickly. After putting it on, I touched the fine stitches and laughed at him for carrying the needle and thread with him.

, I wonder if he is still doing embroidery secretly. Lou Shiqi disapprovingly put away the needle and thread that looked very professional at first glance, and snorted: "Don't beg me if you have the ability."

It was just getting dark and there was still some time before the moon rose. Preparations seemed to be done. More and more people returned to the camp, and the atmosphere gradually became thicker and tense.

279 Because there are few people here, everyone still sticks to their posts. Lou Shiqi and I are still the only ones doing nothing.

I closed my eyes and rested my mind, thinking about what Chang Xiao meant. Suddenly someone asked, "Why are you the only ones back? Where are Charles and the others?"

I opened my eyes. It was one of Stephanie's thugs. The one who wanted to kill us was hers? But wasn't Charles one of Morgan's men?

I closed my eyes again.

"Let me go!" Lou Shiqi shouted.

That bitch actually wanted to attack me, but Lou Shiqi stopped him and was pulled up from the ground. I slapped his hand away and blocked Lou Shiqi from behind.

"Since you have the nerve to come here, I'll tell you. Charles and the others sneaked up on me and are probably playing chess with Seth in the desert. If you want to join, you might as well give it a try."

I sneered and stared into his eyes. The man looked at me for a while, spit on the ground, turned around and walked away. After I waited for the loser to get to the United Nations, I supported Lou Shiqi slowly

He sat on the ground, the cold sweat on his hands rubbing against his sleeves.

"Damn it, you said this is some kind of bad luck. I have to find a place to pay my respects when I get back." I was so shocked that I punched Lou Shiqi twice. "You are such a big person, you are of no use at all. Fortunately Jiang Can

You should hurry up and take care of Charles. Otherwise, if you run into him, he will kill him."

Lou Shiqi lowered his eyes and looked at my fist without replying.

I did put in a test just now. Chang laughed and referred to the bird as an owl. Could it be that he was talking about Lou Shiqi?

I have always had some doubts about Lou Shiqi. Even if Jiang Can said that he was originally a non-staff member of 279, it could not explain the unexpected things he sometimes showed. For example, Lou Shiqi told us about the village in the archaeological team story night

There were wild animals eating iron products, and then we discovered the nameless god who was so important in the buried history of ancient Egypt, and whose sacrifices were made of metal.

Also, why does Lou Shiqi even have higher rights to use Beidou than 279 who performs special tasks? The most important thing is that yesterday we were trapped on the broken sacred tree by Apep, and someone attacked us at that time. Lou Shiqi

Qi undoubtedly discovered him, and then he put his coat over my head. But how did the sneak attack get stabbed in the stomach with his own knife in such a short period of time?

I pulled my hand back.

Lou Shiqi still said nothing.

"I don't mean anything else. In fact, I'm also very timid."

I was worried that what I said was too harsh. In fact, he might be more scared than me. After all, I didn’t ask further about what happened on the remains of the sacred tree yesterday.

"We are all serious people, and we don't engage in those who commit murder and arson." I pushed him gently. "Hey, I actually have some toffee there, why don't I share half of it with you?"

Lou Shiqi smiled.

I relaxed. Really, there was no need to compete with him.

"Wang Yu, I didn't expect you to be so unwilling to doubt me." He slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and a strange smile slowly appeared on the familiar face.

Lou Shiqi raised his head, revealing a pair of peaceful and calm eyes. He just looked at me normally, but a sense of oppression came over him.

I've seen this look once.

Yesterday, on the sacred tree that was broken by Apep, when I lifted Lou Shiqi's coat over my head, he looked at the mercenary who was stabbed by him like this. At that time, I thought I was wrong.

Eye.

Suddenly, I couldn't think about anything, only the sound of gurgling blood hitting my nerves.

Lou Shiqi's knife yesterday seemed to have just stabbed me.

Among the many vests, no matter how thick you wear them, you will still feel cold.
