Chapter 1266: The Hidden Truth

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

While Wei Kang and Nabari focused on the sand cat, Zhang Zian was thinking about finding an excuse to drive Fina into Devil’s Sea. If he insisted, Wei Kang would not stop him, but it would invariably invite suspicion.

The loud noise from the center of the Devil’s Sea shocked the three men. Even the sand under their feet trembled a little. The timid sand cats were even afraid and scattered immediately. They ran into the forest or dug holes in the ground. Perhaps they thought an enemy was coming.

What had happened? Was it thunder?

The sky was clear tonight, so how could it be thunder? Was it an earthquake?

This was possible. Earthquakes were often accompanied by abnormal noises. The abnormal sound from the earth could be a precursor to the earthquake. Egypt had a history of earthquakes, so this possibility could not be ruled out.

Yet how could it be so coincidental? Why had it happened in the Devil’s Sea when they were in the Devil’s Sea?

Their faces showed signs of anxiety. Wei Kang was upset that the sand cats had run away. Nabari shuddered and said, “Not good! Not good! Someone opened the door to hell, and the devil wants to come out… The world is going to fall into the sea of ​​blood…”

“Devil? Where is the devil?” Vladimir suddenly said. However, at this time, everyone was in a mess and did not pay attention to the fact that he’d spoken.

Nabari’s professionalism could not be argued. However, he nevertheless had limited formal education and strong religious beliefs. Thus, it was natural for him to attribute the occurrence to the power of ghosts and gods.

At this time, Gao Ke, Du Xuetao, and Xiao Tianyu ran out of the camp. They were not dressed properly and hurriedly shouted, “Teacher! Teacher! Earthquake? Is it an earthquake?”

He He was also behind them. She was neatly dressed and more calm than the boys.

“Don’t panic! The situation is still unclear. Act like educated individuals and calm yourselves down. Do not embarrass yourselves…” Wei Kang said to them. “You are late. There has been a new species of cat. It is a subspecies of the sand cat, and I think it is very likely that it has an important part in the evolution of the cat.”

The boys had not yet fully woken up, and their minds were still in a daze.

Fina stared into the distance. She suddenly said, “It is not an earthquake.”

Not an earthquake?

Zhang Zian suddenly remembered something and asked, “Professor Wei Kang, have you kept track of the remaining drinking water and food? Let me see.”

Wei Kang did not understand why he suddenly wanted to see this, but he still took out his mobile phone and handed it to him. “I entered it into my phone. You can see it for yourself.”

Zhang Zian found the Excel spreadsheet on Wei Kang’s mobile phone and opened it. Instead of paying attention to the remaining percentage and consumption, he quickly browsed through the team’s initial stock of drinking water, food, and diesel.

Peter Lee’s off-road vehicles were bigger and more powerful, and they didn’t need to carry a lot of instruments and equipment like the expedition team’s. However, their average drinking water, food, and diesel consumption was similar to the expedition team’s. With the consumption of drinking water and food, the average reduction in diesel consumption per 100 kilometers was similar.

So what was stored in the remaining spaces in their cars? Each of their cars could take two people, but they drove one car per person…

At the beginning, Zhang Zian had just thought that they were rich. However, after observing the speed of their material consumption for the first two days, he saw that they were more adaptive than the expedition team. They should consume less diesel and supplies. Yet from the supplies consumption recorded in the Excel spreadsheet, they did not seem to do better.

He inferred from this that they were likely carrying other items in their cars. Those items were not light.

After the incident with Xiao Tianyu wasting water, the team stepped up the investigation of supplies. However, the inspection list had been arranged by Peter Lee, so it was basically an internal investigation by the expedition team. The two teams exchanged inspection of supplies.

There were indications that there was more to this than met the eye.

Was it…

Zhang Zian suddenly had an inconceivable thought. No, Peter Lee would not be that crazy…

He had always neglected a problem—they were prepared for this trip and believed that there was an undiscovered pyramid in the Devil’s Sea. They were also determined to take pure cosmic energy from deep within the pyramid. Assuming that there really was such a pyramid, how were they going to go in? By chanting “open sesame” at the door?

This was an Arabic folk legend. It was unlikely to work in the face of an actual pyramid.

How could an ancient tale help with modern needs? Peter Lee was well-prepared and must have considered this. There could only be one jaw-dropping answer—explosives.

They’d carried a lot of explosives into the desert! They wanted to blast the pyramid open!

It was not an earthquake at all, but an explosion.

The sound that had thundered through the area just now was their blasting operation.

Having figured this out, Zhang Zian was feeling shaky and unable to stand up straight.

Who could have thought of this? They’d gone along with a group who’d carried at least a few hundred kilograms of explosives!

Crazy! It was just crazy!

This was the desert, where the temperature is close to 60 degrees Celsius. However, Peter Lee and his team had unassumingly carried a ton of explosives along the way. It was like literally traveling with hell!

The irony was that the expedition team had thought that they’d landed a trophy traveling with them when they were the trophy instead.

If the temperature had risen too high, or if there had been an accident such as a rollover or a crash, the consequences would’ve been unimaginable. They may have already turned into blue smoke on the yellow sands…

In the Middle East, it was difficult to get high-tech equipment such as high-performance drones, but it was not difficult to get earth-made explosives. Everyone knew this.

Of course, Peter Lee may not have carried the finished explosives. He might have brought them in the form of raw materials. After arriving at the destination and cooling at night, he could mix them together. Nevertheless, it was still an extremely crazy idea.

They had money and technology. The person nicknamed “the Colonel” may also be proficient in blasting technology. These were not difficult for them. Yet the pyramids were not their home. They could not simply walk in and say that they wanted to blast a hole. Was that any different from robbery?

Calling the police was impossible. It was not clear whether this land belonged to Egypt or Libya. It would take the police more than ten days to reach here. Furthermore, they may not even take on this case.

Then, at the center of the Devil’s Sea, a second, dull bang roared.
