The Ren family's affairs were settled, and Master Ren no longer had the ambitions he had when he was young. He decided to live in Renjia Town in the future. It was good to live a stable life.

Ren Tingting ran back and forth, staying at Chen Xi's place for a few days and then going home for a few days. She was not in a hurry to get married.

Master Ren was still mumbling a few words at first, but later he simply kept silent. Whatever.

Chen Xi also stayed in Renjia Town, waiting for good news from Kawakami Tomie.

The idea was good, but it was too difficult to implement. Kawakami Tomie herself was not from a related major, and now there were not so many high-precision instruments in the future, so everything had to start from scratch.

Apart from other things, it took Shadow Guard a lot of time to abduct those researchers. It was not until 1920 that the experiment began.

At the beginning of the experiment, everything was done by trial and error. There was no idea at all. He could only use the elimination method to do different experiments. Fortunately, Master Ren was tough and could survive for a long time by feeding some blood from chickens, ducks and geese.

If Tomie Kawakami needed anything related to metaphysics, Chen Xi asked Uncle Jiu to prepare it and send it over through the shadow space.

When he was free, he also took Ren Tingting to the United States. Including the time of round trip and the stay there, another year had passed.

Old Master Ren was almost sliced ​​for research. These researchers thought of everything they could think of, but they still couldn't get a perfect result. There was always something missing.

Many unknown substances were extracted from the zombies. After experiments, they also got related uses. The useful parts were separated and fused, and finally a virus was obtained.

This virus is very similar to the original biochemical virus. According to Old Master Ren's surname, it was directly named R virus, which is equivalent to T virus.

R virus can turn people into zombies. They are still active and aggressive after death, but they will not mutate further, and will not give birth to any superpowers. They are just ordinary zombies.

Chen Xi was not satisfied with this result. Zombies are uncontrollable. If a large-scale biochemical crisis really breaks out, the world will be doomed.

It can be said that studying the R virus is not difficult. The difficulty lies in how to make the virus controllable. All time and money are spent on this.

Until 1923, the laboratory has not been able to come up with a good plan. In the words of the researchers, science has reached its end. If you can't get the result you want, try theology.

The money that Shadow Guard earned in the United States, in addition to developing itself, was used for Kawakami Tomie's research, including Chen Xi's wealth card buff, which still cannot make ends meet.

Chen Xi: [So... I have two tasks now, making money and getting items related to theology, right? ]

Kawakami Tomie: [Well, boss, the research here can no longer find a breakthrough. The things extracted from zombies are more dangerous than the sunflowers in "Resident Evil". ]

Chen Xi: [What do you mean? ]

Kawakami Tomie: [In the world of "Resident Evil", an antidote specifically for restraining zombies can be developed, but this world may not be able to do it. ]

Chen Xi: [I understand, because zombies themselves are not scientific products, and scientific means are relatively limited. ]

Kawakami Tomie: [Yes, do you still remember the few beautiful people that Shadow Guard mentioned before when he went to the United States? ]

Chen Xi: [No impression, what happened? ]

Kawakami Tomie: [Those people are preparing to go to Egypt recently, wanting to find the legendary City of the Dead, where the Bible of the Dead is said to exist. ]

Chen Xi: [Wait a minute, let me think about it. ]

The Bible of the Dead, Chen Xi felt more and more familiar with it, and since it happened in Egypt, he finally thought of it, isn't this "The Mummy".

This world has Uncle Nine, so it's normal for another "Mummy" to appear. Maybe there's even "Indiana Jones", but he just didn't encounter it.

Chen Xi: [I know what you're talking about, you really know how to make things difficult for me. ]

Kawakami Tomie: [Is it dangerous? ]

Chen Xi: [It's hard to say. If you want to get the Bible of the Dead, you must fight Immorton, but I'm not in a hurry, I can make a deal with him. ]

Kawakami Tomie: [Imorton?]

Chen Xi: [A mummy with magical powers, the few beautiful people mentioned by the shadow guard will become nutrients for his resurrection. Compared with zombies, Immorton has consciousness and reason, and knows how to weigh the pros and cons.]

Kawakami Tomie: [That's good, being reasonable means that we can negotiate.]

Chen Xi: [Yes, Immorton is a very good mummy, at least he knows that people have to be paid for work.]

Kawakami Tomie: [For this reason, he is better than many capitalists.]

Chen Xi: [I think so too, you wait in the beautiful country, I will go to Egypt.]

Kawakami Tomie: [Don't you need me to accompany you?]

Chen Xi: [No need, they are just small scenes. If you have nothing to do, help the shadow guard to manage the industry. 】

Kawakami Tomie: [Okay~]

Chen Xi is going to Egypt, and the ghost girl Mingyue is staying behind to look after the house. She can't be too far away from the locust tree, and can't stay away for a long time, so she can't go with him.

Ren Tingting also stayed in Renjia Town. The two of them have known each other since around 1918 until now in 1923, and have never been married, but they have a child, which was also forced by Master Ren.

"I don't care if you don't want to get married, but you must have a child. Someone has to take over the Ren family's property."

Master Ren was very dissatisfied with this son-in-law who had always refused to marry his daughter. He no longer called him a "virtuous son-in-law" until the child was born.

Chen Xi generously gave the child the surname Ren and asked Ren Tingting to take the child back to the Ren family to raise him. He didn't care about these.

Master Ren's face changed again. This was his "virtuous son-in-law"!

With the bond of the child, Ren Tingting was not as obsessed with Chen Xi as before. She had to take care of the child.

Chen Xi talked to Ren Tingting, and the latter did not object. The man had something to do, and she couldn't stop him. She just reminded him to pay attention to safety and come back early.

It's not easy to go from China to Egypt. There are no flights at all. Now travel is basically by boat. He has to go to Hong Kong first, then go to Europe, and then transfer to Egypt.

After a long time on the sea, Chen Xi finally set foot on the land of Egypt. To be honest, if he wasn't afraid of being shot down, he wanted to use the mount card to conjure a plane.

The practicality of the plane is not great, and landing is also a problem. Chen Xi thought about it and decided to forget it. The key is that he has never flown a plane of this era.

The public security in Cairo is not very good, and petty theft is too common. Chen Xi's typical oriental face is seen as a fat sheep by the locals.

In order to prevent trouble from coming to his door, Chen Xi simply changed his clothes, no longer wearing a suit, and changed into an adventurer's appearance, with a holster tied to his belt with ebony inside.

With the deterrence of a pistol, no blind thieves came to harass him.

Chen Xi strolled on the streets of Cairo, thinking about how to enter the City of the Dead. As he walked, he came to a small square where the death penalty was being executed. He glanced and it was a coincidence that it was not the male protagonist.

It seems that the timeline of his coming here is just right. He happened to meet the heroine Evelyn who spent money to save the hero O'Connor. As long as he follows them, he can successfully find the City of the Dead.

It should not be possible to follow directly. Chen Xi still needs a reason and routine.

When Evelyn rescued O'Connor, he found Jonathan and started the bumping mode.

He casually bought a broken jar at the market, and was walking on the street when Jonathan accidentally bumped into him. The jar fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

Jonathan didn't take it seriously at all. He said a few words and was about to leave, but was grabbed by Chen Xi's collar.

"You broke my things, and you want to leave like this?" Chen Xi said, pulling out the ebony from his waist: "Give you two choices, pay money, or die."

Jonathan turned his head and saw the black muzzle of the gun. He was almost scared to death on the spot, showing an awkward smile, laughing, rolling his eyes, and thinking about how to get away.

"Don't think about running, your speed is not as fast as the bullet, and don't think about using other covers. I don't mind shooting here."

Hearing Chen Xi's words, Jonathan's expression suddenly became bitter: "Okay, I'll pay."

"Very good." Chen Xi nodded with satisfaction and said an astronomical figure.

"How much?!" Jonathan exclaimed: "You are blackmailing me!"

"Don't talk nonsense, the price I said is very fair. I brought that jar from the far east and was going to sell it for a good price. Now you knocked it off. You must compensate me for this money."

Jonathan looked at the fragments on the ground speechlessly. Doesn't this bastard lie at all?

Don't think I can't see that it's a broken jar that can be seen everywhere in Cairo.

Chen Xi's index finger was on the trigger: "Do you want to regret it?"

Seeing this scene, Jonathan began to sweat coldly. You must not shake your hands, or you can't fire it accidentally!

"I'll pay." Jonathan knew that he had encountered a robber, and he admitted the account with a sad face: "I don't have money now, wait for me to come back, I will compensate you."

Chen Xi showed an expression of "Do you think I'm stupid?"

"I'm telling the truth. I'll be rich soon."

"I don't believe it. Not to mention that I'm not sure whether what you said is true or not, even if it is true, you ran away afterwards. Where can I find you?"

"I won't run away. When I find the place, I can take something to compensate for your jar."

"Where is that place?"

Jonathan hurriedly covered his mouth and said no more.

At this time, Evelyn and O'Connor also came over. What they saw was the scene of Jonathan being held hostage. They couldn't help but be very curious: "Jonathan, what did you do again?"

Seeing Evelyn, Jonathan was overjoyed, as if he had seen a savior. He hurriedly told everything, and the other two were speechless.

Evelyn looked at Chen Xi angrily: "Sir, it's wrong for you to do this."

Chen Xi smiled slightly: "Beautiful lady, if you say one more word, I will kill him."

Everyn: (¯ n ¯)

Looking at the pistol held by Chen Xi, she really didn't dare to gamble. What if the other party was serious?

At the critical moment, O'Connor stood up: "Okay, work, you just want money, wait for us to come back, we will give it to you."

"I don't believe you."

"It's not a good idea to be deadlocked like this, why don't we find a place to talk?" O'Connor prepared a delaying tactic, let this guy put down the pistol first, and the rest will be easy.

Chen Xi put down the pistol in agreement, and saw O'Connor rushing over. As a soldier left over from World War I, this guy has never had a good temper.

"Why bother?" Chen Xi muttered softly, standing still without moving his upper body. He just raised his leg and kicked O'Connor sideways. O'Connor flew out and hit a nearby stall.

Evelyn screamed, and Jonathan shuddered all over. He looked at Chen Xi's figure and then at O'Connor, his eyes full of disbelief.

O'Connor struggled to stand up. The moment he was kicked, he had raised his arm to defend himself, but he still couldn't defend himself. The force was too strong, and his whole arm was numb now.

O'Connor looked at Chen Xi in confusion, but he was not angry. He just asked curiously, "How did you do it?"

"It has nothing to do with you." Chen Xi waved his hand: "If you don't accept it, let's continue. As long as I beat you, you will double the compensation for my jars."

Jonathan took the opportunity to run, but heard Chen Xi, who was facing away from him, said, "Don't think about running away. If you dare to run, I will dare to shoot and kill them."

Jonathan didn't dare to move immediately. Facing Evelyn's angry eyes, he could only smile awkwardly.

Evelyn was very angry and particularly dissatisfied with this oriental man. She stood there waving her fists: "Go! O'Connor, show this guy some color!"

"Hey!" O'Connor shouted dissatisfiedly: "This is not within the scope of the transaction."

"As long as you beat this guy, I will give you more money!"

"Deal."

O'Connor, who was no longer careless, rushed up confidently. This time, he must let this oriental man see his strength.

In less than a minute, Chen Xi leisurely patted the dust on his body, inserted the ebony into the holster, and stretched out his hand to Evelyn: "Give me the money."

Evelyn: (⊙o⊙)

Did O'Connor lose just like that?

This guy has grown so tall for nothing.

O'Connor, lying on the ground, also looked doubtful about his life. It was nothing that he was defeated, but he had no power to resist the whole process. Isn't this too incredible?

O'Connor swore that he had tried his best, but he couldn't even see the opponent's movements clearly. This Oriental man was weird.

Evelyn's money was used to bribe the warden, and there was no extra money to compensate Chen Xi. Compensation for the damaged stall was enough. As a last resort, she could only choose to take him to the City of the Dead.

In Chen Xi's words: "I don't trust you. I want to go with you to find treasure."

Evelyn had no choice at all. The other party was obviously not a reasonable person. If he couldn't pay the compensation, he had to take Chen Xi with him.

At this point, Evelyn and O'Connor also saw some problems. Without such coincidences, it is very likely that this Oriental man has known their purpose for a long time, so he came to them through Jonathan.

The four of them began to prepare various supplies, and O'Connor also took the opportunity to find Chen Xi: "Hey! I think we need to talk openly. By the way, what's your name?"

"You can call me Dawn. As for the talk you mentioned, it's unnecessary. I won't make trouble. I just want to find the City of the Dead."

"Do you want the treasure there too?"

"Not only that, I want more."
