Treasure Hunt all over the World

"boom!"

On the street outside the hotel, there was a sudden loud crash.

At the same time, a fire flashed outside the window, dazzling.

Immediately afterwards, the rapid gunshots rang out, completely tearing up the peaceful night.

The fierce gunfire was also mixed with bursts of shouting, and the sound of fast running footsteps and so on.

"Steven, someone downstairs wanted to drive a car into the hotel, and directly crashed into the roadblock set up by the Ethiopian military and police, and there was a fierce exchange of fire between the two sides.

These masked guys also spoke Amharic. Judging from this point, they might be militants from the PFJ, not far from Tigray!

Because of the general election issue, the Ethiopian authorities and the TFLF are at odds with each other, and the TFLF urgently needs to raise military expenses. Perhaps this is the reason why the TFLF attacked us! "

Matisse's voice came through the wireless invisible headset, giving an update on the situation.

Hearing the notification, Ye Tian immediately said in a cold voice:

"The battle outside the hotel is left to the Ethiopian military and police. They have a large number of them and their equipment is not bad. I believe they can deal with the sneak attacks of some militants.

Even if those militants break through the defense line of the Ethiopian military and police, there are also heavily armed Israeli Mossad agents and members of the 13th Commando, and they should be able to hold on.

What we need to deal with is the sneak attack from the air, just like the small drone just now, let all the guys put on infrared night vision goggles, which is convenient for combat.

Another point is that in every room we live in, the lights are all turned off, to avoid being a target, let everyone pay attention to safety, and try to avoid exposing yourself to the outside.”

"Got it, Steven"

Mattis responded immediately and moved quickly.

As the order came out, the lights in the room where the tripartite joint exploration team members and security personnel lived were immediately turned off.

Except for the lobby and a few rooms on the first floor, the entire hotel was plunged into darkness.

In this way, the gunmen who were ambushing in the dark outside the hotel would not be able to tell which room was occupied by members of the tripartite joint exploration team and security personnel, and which room was empty.

Of course they can't tell the difference.

Which room does Ye Tian live in!

Those guys who came here for the treasure map lost their target in an instant!

After the lights went out, many security team members of the tripartite joint exploration team took out their infrared night vision devices, put them on, and got ready for the night battle.

The same is true for Ye Tian, ​​wearing an infrared night vision device, he looked at the dark night sky outside the hotel.

The situation in the night sky was relatively calm, except for a few stray bullets that flew across the night sky occasionally, leaving behind red trails.

Some buildings opposite the hotel have relatively short floors, mostly two or three-story residential buildings.

The tallest building has only four floors, and it is still relatively far from the hotel.

As soon as the explosion sounded, the people living in those buildings turned off the lights as quickly as possible and stayed away from the windows to avoid disaster.

After a while, those buildings were plunged into darkness, only a few street lights were still on.

The fighting downstairs was still going on, the gunshots continued and became more intense.

Because of the dark sky and poor lighting conditions, the battle turned into a melee from the very beginning.

The Ethiopian army and those militants lacking night vision equipment can only fire wildly in the dark, and sometimes they can't even tell the enemy from ourselves!

The many security team members responsible for protecting the tripartite joint exploration team did not participate in the battle downstairs, but stayed in the hotel, on each floor, and stared at the night sky outside the hotel.

What everyone has to beware of is not only the masked militants trying to break into the hotel, but also the Ethiopian military police outside the hotel!

No one knows whether those Ethiopian military and police will renege on the battle, take off their military uniforms, and rush into the hotel pretending to be militants. After all, money is touching!

As Ye Tian expected, another person tried to sneak attack from the sky under the cover of night.

There was a flash of fire on the roof of a three-story building about three or four hundred meters away from the hotel, and someone fired at the hotel from there.

A wave of dense bullet rain immediately rushed from a distance, pierced the night sky, and went straight to the hotel.

"bang bang bang"

At the same time as the gunshots came, the glass of some guest rooms in the hotel was also broken by bullets flying at high speed.

Fortunately, everyone was prepared and evaded, and no one was injured.

At the same time, several small drones quickly took off in the distance and flew towards the hotel quietly.

However, the security team guarding the hotel had already been prepared.

As soon as the small drones took off, several electronic jamming guns on the roof of the hotel were aimed at them.

Just wait for them to fly a little closer, and they will be shot down immediately!

At this time, Ye Tian had already come out of his suite and stood in the corridor with a gun.

There are no windows at both ends of this corridor, and the elevators and stairs are guarded by armed security personnel. The corridor is undoubtedly the safest.

Not only Ye Tian, ​​many of his company employees also came out of their rooms and stayed in this corridor.

The walls on both sides of the corridor are reinforced concrete, and everyone is wearing Kevlar body armor, so they are safe!

You have experienced things like tonight many times, and you are used to it!

So everyone was not so nervous, but talked and laughed!

More importantly, all the company employees who came to Ethiopia this time were men.

As early as in New York, everyone was arranged to learn how to use guns and how to protect themselves. Everyone has a certain ability to protect themselves.

It can even be said that these company employees also have certain combat effectiveness, and they are definitely not lambs to be slaughtered!

They just don't stand a chance to fight unless those armed security guards are dead.

Seeing everyone in this state, Ye Tian was immediately relieved.

"Who are these guys outside? The reaction is so fast. Is it the Gondar citizens who hate the tripartite joint exploration team, or someone else?"

"That's right, these guys reacted too quickly. We only discovered the priceless treasure map in the afternoon, and they launched an attack at night, as if they were prepared in advance!"

Many company employees are discussing and curious,

"The guys who launched the attack were a group of masked militants who copied the Amharic language. They should be Ethiopians, but whether they are religious extremists or local armed forces is temporarily unknown!"

Ye Tian said with a smile, he didn't say that he was an armed member of the People's Front.

While everyone was laughing and chatting, the battle continued.

On the roof of the hotel, two snipers quickly locked the gunman ambushing on the roof of the three-story building not far away through the night vision sight, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Bang, bang"

Accompanied by the sound of sniper rifle shots, the heads of the two gunmen who were ambushing on the roof of the building not far away were instantly blown off and flew backwards.

The two gunmen had just been killed, and two more sniper rifle bullets flew through the air, continuing to harvest lives.

The few small drones flying towards the hotel under the cover of night have also been locked and suffered fatal blows one after another.

As a few electronic jamming guns fired and interfered, the remote control signals of those small drones were immediately cut off, and then they lost control and fell directly to the ground.

In a short while, several small drones hit the ground fiercely and exploded one after another.

"Boom, boom"

In the sound of huge explosions one after another, this battle in the dark also reached its climax.

The masked militants who tried to storm the hotel launched one of the craziest attacks since the fighting broke out.

They drove four or five pickup trucks, galloped from different directions, and rushed directly to the hotel gate and several roadblocks, intending to forcibly break through the roadblocks and rush directly into the hotel.

While driving the impact, the masked gunmen inside and outside the car were shooting crazily, trying their best to suppress the Ethiopian military police guarding the periphery of the hotel. The firepower was very fierce!

The Ethiopian military and police who had no will to fight were immediately suppressed by the fierce firepower, and they all looked for places to hide!

Seeing that those pickup trucks were about to hit the roadblock, they might even rush into the hotel in one go.

Even at this time, the Israeli Mossad agents and the 13th commando who had been watching the show finally made their move!

"bang bang bang"

The windows on the second and third floors of the hotel, as well as the many armored military vehicles parked in front of and around the hotel, fired violently at the same time, raining bullets crazily.

Especially those heavy machine guns mounted on armored military vehicles, like pulverizers, ravaged the galloping pickups with dense and terrifying bullet rain.

In a blink of an eye, those pickups that were galloping were battered and horribly beaten.

This is a complete suppression of firepower, without any suspense!

In less than half a minute, those pickup trucks were completely scrapped, immediately caught fire, and then exploded one after another.

The masked militants in those pickup trucks had all been killed, and were even torn into pieces by the powerful machine gun bullets!

Faced with this result, the rest of the masked militants fighting on the streets could only retreat hastily.

The Ethiopian military and police who had just been suppressed regained their spirits.

They came out of their hiding places one after another and began to pursue the militants who failed to retreat.

While chasing, they also looked back at the Israeli armored military vehicles from time to time, as well as the heavily armed Israeli agents and commandos.

Obviously, they were shocked by the sudden burst of strength of the Israelis, and they were a little frightened!

Those Israeli agents and commandos did not pursue them, they stayed inside and outside the hotel all the time, never leaving!

This night battle came very suddenly, and it went away very quickly!

After a while, the fighting outside the hotel subsided.

The street in front of the hotel, as well as the main entrance of the hotel, is already in a mess, riddled with holes, burning and exploding vehicles can be seen everywhere, like a battlefield!

And in the darkness in the distance, there will be one or two gunshots from time to time, and they are getting rarer and rarer.

At this moment, Mustafa called and asked with concern:

"Steven, have you been injured or suffered any losses? Is that precious treasure map still with you?"

Ye Tian smiled, and then responded:

"Don't worry, Mustafa, the sheepskin scroll is always with me, it's not damaged in the slightest, no one under my command was injured, and there is no loss.

The armed security team under me basically didn't take part in the battle, just took out a few small drones and a few gunmen hidden in the dark.

Who were the guys who attacked the hotel? Their reaction was too fast. They gathered a large number of people to launch an attack so quickly. Their strength is impressive! "

Mustafa on the other end of the phone visibly paused.

After a moment of silence, he said:

"The guys who attacked the hotel were all masked. We don't know exactly who they are. We still need to investigate. Fortunately, the treasure map is not damaged. This is the most important thing!"

Ye Tian is well aware of the relationship between the People's Front and the Ethiopian government.

This involves Ethiopia's internal affairs, as well as hatred and conflicts between ethnic groups, and he doesn't want to ask too much.

In fact, the Tirenzhen who launched the night attack did not want to reveal their identity, so they chose to cover their faces.

If there is no accident, there must be no documents to prove their identities on the militants of the Tirenjin who were killed.

And in the next joint exploration operation, the tripartite joint exploration team is likely to go to the base camp of the Tigray Prefecture, and cooperate with the Tirenjin!

The reason is simple, because Axum is in Tigray State!

After briefing each other about the situation, Ye Tian ended the call.

At the same time, this night attack in Gondar caused a huge sensation in Ethiopia and the outside world!

The first time they received the news, everyone was stunned and shocked!

In a blink of an eye, people feel that this is an expected thing, and it is not worth making a fuss about!

Wherever that bastard Steven goes, there will definitely be huge waves, even bloody storms, but this time it's Ethiopia's turn, and Gondar's turn!

Of course, the citizens of Gondar don't think so.

While they were terrified, they also gritted their teeth with hatred, but there was nothing they could do.

The sporadic gunfire finally stopped.

At night, the tranquility was finally restored.

But the air in this city is full of a strong smell of blood, lingering gunpowder smoke, and the smell of burning rubber!

After confirming safety, many members of the tripartite joint exploration team returned to their respective rooms and began to tidy up and clean up the glass fragments scattered in the room.

During this time, the hotel was always on high alert.

The many security team members who are responsible for protecting the tripartite joint exploration team guard the inside and outside of the hotel like iron barrels, and keep an eye on the movement around them, ready to respond at any time!

Fortunately, nothing happened after that, and everything returned to tranquility!

...

One night passed, and another day.

The burnt-out car wreckage and numerous corpses on the street in front of the hotel had been dragged away overnight by Ethiopians.

But the dense bullet holes left on the buildings on both sides of the street, as well as on the hotel entrance and walls are still vivid.

After the fierce exchange of fire last night, the crowd and media reporters who had gathered around the hotel to watch the excitement had completely disappeared, not a single person could be seen!

There are many more Ethiopian military and police officers in charge of protecting the tripartite joint exploration team than yesterday, and they are all fully armed, as if facing an enemy!

In a blink of an eye, it was about half past eight.

Ye Tian was packing up his things in the room, and was about to leave later to continue exploring the Fasilidas castle complex.

At this moment, Matisse knocked on the door suddenly and walked in with a smile on his face.

After entering the door, the guy smiled and said:

"Steven, a very familiar old friend came downstairs in the hotel lobby. He wants to meet you and talk to you about something. You will never know who this guy is!"

"A very familiar old friend, who could it be? This is Gondar, Ethiopia. This is our first time here. What old friend will we have here? I really can't remember."

Ye Tian said curiously, at a loss.

Seeing his performance, Matisse didn't hold back any more, and immediately gave the answer.

"It's Cook from the Golden Eagle Discovery Company in Los Angeles. That guy is still as flamboyant as ever, dressed like a Hollywood superstar. The moment I looked at him, I thought I was dazzled?"

Hearing this answer, Ye Tian couldn't help being stunned.

After a while, he said in surprise:

"Did I hear correctly? How could it be that bastard Cook? How could he be in Ethiopia? He came with us, and he didn't notice it before?"

"That's right, their company is also carrying out an exploration mission in Ethiopia, and it is said that it is cooperating with the Amhara state government to explore a legendary gold mine.

And this exploration area is on the plateau in northwestern Ethiopia, not far from Gondar. He heard that we came to Gondar, so he brought people here! "

"So that's it, don't ask, this bastard is also trying to plot the treasure map in my hand, I know him too well!"

"It must be so, do you want to meet the bastard?"

"Since he's here and we're old friends, let's meet up, otherwise it won't look good. You go and bring him up, but you have to search him!"

"Okay, Steven, I know what to do"

Matisse nodded in response, and then left the suite.

About ten minutes later, he walked in with Cook.

As Mattis said, the bastard Cook is still so flamboyant.

Although he didn't wear a custom-made three-piece suit this time, he wore a pure white Armani suit. The white is dazzling!

On her feet were a pair of shiny gray patent leather shoes, and she was wearing a narrow black tie. Her hair was meticulously groomed, so smooth that even a fly would sprain her feet if she landed on it!

Those who know the situation know that he came to Ethiopia to explore the gold mines; those who don't know the situation may think that he came to Ethiopia for a show!

Although Cook was extremely glamorous, his complexion was not very good-looking, with periods of blue and white.

Obviously, during the security check and body search just now, this old friend was often made things difficult by Matisse and the others, even verbally humiliated!

Seeing this old friend enter the door, Ye Tian immediately greeted him, jokingly said:

"Good morning, Cook, I didn't expect to meet you in Ethiopia. We are so lucky. You are still as dazzling as before, just like a superstar from Hollywood!"

Hearing this, Cook's face turned red immediately.

Of course he heard the sarcasm in the words, unless he was an idiot, he couldn't understand it!

However, as an old fox with a thick face and a dark heart, it is the basic quality to be self-sufficient!

In a blink of an eye, his expression returned to normal.

"Good morning, Steven, I didn't expect to meet you in Ethiopia, it seems that God still cares for you, and let you discover a shocking treasure, which is so enviable!

In fact, I have been paying attention to a series of exploration actions of your company during this period, and I have to admit that you guys are so lucky to have created miracles one after another! "

With that said, Cook shook hands with Ye Tian.

Ye Tian smiled and said:

"Dude, it's not my luck, it's my strength!"

After a few hypocritical greetings, Ye Tian took this old friend into the living room and sat down on the sofa.

Also in the living room is David, who is also an old friend.

After sitting down, Ye Tian pretended to be curious and asked:

"Cook, I heard that your company is exploring a legendary gold mine in Amhara State. How is the progress? Have you found the gold mine?"

Hearing this, the muscles on Cook's face twitched immediately.

Needless to say, their exploration operation must have been very difficult this time, and it is estimated that they have not even touched the hair of the gold mine.

In Cook's style, such a shameful thing would naturally not be admitted.

"We have been in Ethiopia for more than a month and have been exploring in the mountains of Amhara State. Now we have some clues. It is estimated that we will find the legendary gold mine in a short time!"

"That's great, I congratulate you in advance, it seems that you are going to make a lot of money!"

Ye Tian smiled and nodded, but a bit of disdain flashed in his eyes.

After chatting for a while, Cook explained his intention.

"Steven, I heard that you found a precious treasure map in Fasil Gabe Castle, which points to the huge wealth looted by the Italian army from all over East Africa during World War II!

This discovery has caused a huge sensation! There is no doubt that this is an astonishing treasure. The reason why I came here to find you is to see if there is any possibility of cooperation between our two companies?

You have just arrived in Ethiopia, so you are not very familiar with the situation here. We have been here for more than a month, and we are quite familiar with the situation here, especially the mountains in the northwest plateau!

If the two of us cooperate, we will definitely be able to greatly improve the efficiency of exploration, speed up the process of exploration operations, and find this shocking treasure as soon as possible. As for how to distribute the gold and silver treasures in the treasure,..."

He was about to continue, but was interrupted by Ye Tian directly.

"Cook, as a familiar old friend, if you are here to reminisce about the past, then I welcome it very much. If you are here to discuss cooperation, there is no need to waste your words. I do not intend to introduce any third parties."

Before the words fell, Cook was stunned, with a rather embarrassed expression.

Although he expected such a result, he didn't expect Ye Tian to reject it so directly without leaving any room for it.

Next, he was going to make amends and continue to discuss this issue.

However, Ye Tian changed the subject and talked about other things.

It's too much to speculate!

In this case, how could Cook sit down!

After a few perfunctory words, the guy got up to say goodbye and left the luxurious suite.

Seeing his leaving back, Ye Tian and David both laughed.

A few minutes later, Cook left the hotel with several armed bodyguards.

As soon as the car drove out of the hotel, an assistant turned around and asked:

"Boss, how's the situation? Did that bastard Steven agree to cooperate with us?"

Cook shook his head, gritted his molars and said:

"That bastard refused very simply, without leaving any room! That bastard Steven wants to monopolize this astonishing treasure, but his appetite is still as greedy as ever!

How can it be so easy? This is Africa, not the damn America, I don't believe it, I can't play Steven, a greedy bastard, in Africa!

In order to make up for the loss of this trip to Africa, we can only play this guy's idea, and grab a sip of the broth for anything, otherwise we will not be able to explain to investors!

Send someone to keep an eye on Steven, the bastard. If it’s not easy for him to attack, then keep an eye on the Ethiopian government’s exploration team and attack the Ethiopians! "

"Understood, boss, we know what to do"

The assistant nodded in response.

While talking, the two SUVs have sped away.
