Chapter 208 Treasure?
In the Death Valley Geopark at night, the stars are brilliant in the sky. There is no pollution from city lights. Here you can see the most beautiful starry sky.
However, at this non-romantic time, someone caused trouble.
"Hmph! Go and watch, I look like a fool when I go out now." Laura drove Sean out of the car and hid inside alone to sulk.
Click! The car door opened.
"I said, I won't get out!" Laura pushed with one hand. If it were Sean, this slap could push him directly out of the car door, while the person opposite would not move at all.
The person who came in was He Chi.
"Eat something? I see you only ate a little bit during dinner." He Chi put down the plate in his hand, which had a sandwich and the BBQ prepared for dinner.
Angrily unable to fill her stomach, Laura looked at the food on the table, picked up a sandwich and stuffed it into her mouth.
He Chi handed over a glass of water, and Laura picked up the cup and took a sip without any courtesy, and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand in an unladylike manner.
"Actually, you are not the one who should be embarrassed today." He Chi watched the little girl calm down and started to try to open up the topic.
"You don't have to coax me, what happened today is stupid, I know it." Laura still turned her head to calm down.
"No, I didn't coax you. The stupidest person today is actually the salesperson." He Chi said looking at the girl in front of him.
Lola was stunned and turned around, "Why?"
He Chi dug into his pocket, took out the small packages of tablets, pointed at them and asked, "What is this?" ”
"Water purification tablets" Laura replied, tilting her head.
“What’s it for?” He Chi continued to ask.
"It purifies polluted water sources in the wild." Laura didn't understand what He Chi meant.
"Then where are we now?" He Chi pointed at the surrounding scenery again.
"Death Valley Geopark? Don't think of me as a fool, okay." Laura was a little angry.
"So where are the sources of polluted water here?"
"Of course..." Laura was stunned mid-sentence. Yes, Death Canyon is surrounded by Gobi, deserts, and salt lakes, and there are no above-ground water sources at all. ah.
"Except for those guys who often associate with Mr. Constantine, how many people have you seen who can speak so fluently while pointing four guns at the same time?" He Chi was still enlightening Laura.
"I understand, He, you mean that guy is suspicious." The girl's eyes lit up.
"Probably, he is not just a staff member. He may have sneaked in with some purpose. However, the other party probably has no ill intentions towards us. Even if he sees it, there is no need for us to cause trouble."
After saying that, He Chi picked up the plate again, "So although the other party is not a hallucinogen dealer, in a sense, you did not suspect the wrong person. Doesn't it make you feel better?"
Although Laura He didn't answer, but it was obvious from the expression on his face that he felt much better.
When the two people stepped out of the RV, the others were just halfway through their campfire storytelling session.
Gianna just told a country legend from her childhood, and it was Sean's turn next.
The boy with freckles on his face pushed up his glasses, "Well, I'm not very good at telling thriller stories, so I'll tell you an unofficial history here."
Sean leaned forward, his face illuminated by the burning bonfire.
“About 200 years ago, a large number of gold mines were discovered here in Death Valley, which attracted many people to come here to pan for gold.” “Later, some of the first people to come found gold and made a fortune, but they suffered When other people became jealous, those guys invited horse bandits and killed all those who found gold."
< br>
“The gold stuck with blood was gathered together and buried in an abandoned mine. Then the horse bandits fought with each other because of the uneven distribution of the spoils, and finally died together. So no one knew the whereabouts of the gold. "
Laura suddenly became energetic. "You mean there is a treasure here?"
"These are legends that have been around for many years. They are probably false." Sean said after telling the story.
“Why?”
Lisa came up and explained, “Because this place has been under the government’s jurisdiction for a long time. If the amount of gold was really huge, it would have been taken care of by the current technology. That gold was dug out.”
“If the gold. The number is very small, so it is not worth the risk for people to explore anymore.”
“Yes, several accidents are discovered in Death Valley every year, and half of them are safety accidents while trying to illegally explore the mines.” It’s all related to toxic metal pollution,” He Chi finally added.
"It's boring, I thought I could play an adventure game." Laura pouted and turned around, thinking that the topic was over.
That night, when several people were asleep, He Chi walked out of the RV alone.
Under the starry sky, he put on his equipment and stood outside with some hesitation.
It was not that he was fascinated by the golden legend, but when Sean was telling that story, a voice came to his ear: "Contact with small information fragments, the total progress of information collection is currently 13.55%."
Why is an old legend of the American West related to the tasks in the dungeon? He Chi couldn't understand.
Maybe the so-called "treasure" has something to do with his mission?
Want to take a look?
After all the equipment was sorted, He Chi hesitated.
Reason tells him that this behavior is meaningless and full of danger. The risks brought by exploring those abandoned mines without authorization are unpredictable. No matter how skilled you are, once the mine collapses, the outcome will be All are dead.
Subconsciously walking more than ten meters, He Chi finally chose to turn around.
He gave up, there was no need to take risks for such unknown things.
But just as he was returning, the fog in the valley began to gradually thicken, and his surrounding vision was blurred.
"The next copy is about to open, players please be prepared." The system's voice sounded in the fog.
"Copy: Death March, Time: 1942: Location: Philippines, Mission Objective: Successfully escape from the area and find key information fragments."
"Note: This mission is an escape mission , there is a time limit, if it cannot be completed before August 1942, it will automatically be considered a failure.”
"Transmission begins!" The system started talking to itself before He Chi could react.
The surrounding scenery began to change, and the newly restored sense was touch. The originally cold body temperature around me suddenly became hot.
He Chi held the thing next to him with his hand and found that it was a huge tropical tree. His sense of smell began to recover, and a smell unique to the tropical rain forest instantly came over him.
Boom! ! ! ! ! !
There was an explosion filling his eardrums.
"Catch him! Don't let him run away! Chase him!"
He Chi raised his hand and pulled out his revolver, because what he just heard was in Japanese.
