It's all your fault.

Don't worry, she can't hear.

Xu Fu pondered for a moment and began a new round of conquest.

Inhale, exhale, the two, immersed in happiness, forgot everything around them, their eyes only on each other.

Barbara Minerva, unable to find her friend, left Mr. Lucio's room and mustered the courage to ring the doorbell, but no one answered for five minutes.

"How's it going?"

"Neither of them is in the room, so we can't go out together!"

Barbara scratched her head, looking a little lost. She called for a waiter, but to no avail, and could only return to her room feeling disappointed.

Nothing happened that night. Before dawn the next day, someone knocked on the door.

Diana, are you there? Come back quickly.

"Diana, answer me!"

...

Xu Fu groggily opened his eyes and couldn't help but complain.

"Your friend is such a troublemaker, knocking on the door so early in the morning."

"Not because of you"

Diana changed her position and continued to sleep, but the knocking was really annoying. Half an hour had passed and neither of them felt sleepy, so they lay in bed chatting.

Why did you decide to explore Egypt?

"To be precise, it was a refuge."

refuge?

Diane wanted to know, "Who has upset you this time?"

“This is my own problem. I’m too famous. I’ve become a target of paparazzi and am followed everywhere. I’m more annoying than your best friend.”

So you disguised yourself and came to Egypt.

Xu Fu said smugly, "Do you like the armor on your face?"

"It's not very good; it's not as good as it seemed."

"Then don't reveal your true colors."

"don't want"

Diana rolled her eyes at him: "I don't want to be associated with the world's richest man."

It's getting late.

On a whim, Xu Fu began his morning exercise. In a daze that lasted for another hour, the two men, their bodies still warm, pressed themselves together, enjoying a rare moment of peace.

Diana said in a low voice.

"Tell me the truth, why did you organize this expedition?"

Xu Fu lit a cigarette, took only two puffs, and the woman stubbed it out and threw it in the trash can. He simply shrugged: "I'm looking for something."

"what is that?"

"An alien spaceship that crashed in Egypt thousands of years ago has been found to contain metals that could be used to manufacture powered armor."

Is this metal sturdy?

"Overall performance is significantly better than Amazon metal."

"awesome!"

Xu Fu nodded: "For so many years, I have been trying to find out where it is. It wasn't until recently that I learned that this airship is very likely in the underground ruins of the ancient kingdom of Kandak."

Kandak?

Diana raised an eyebrow, as if she had heard that phrase somewhere before.

To be honest, I'm a little worried about this expedition: according to ancient records, Kandak is a legendary place with a magician's guild, and I'm concerned they might use magic to hide the underground ruins.

"Aren't you a wizard?"

“I use Taoism, which is an Eastern heritage, not a system like Egypt.”

"Hire a local as a guide?"

"I'm afraid this is quite complicated."

Xu Fu shook his head slightly, his expression somewhat serious: "Although Egypt's history can be traced back thousands of years, due to various reasons, the mysterious traditions have not been preserved, making it almost impossible to find a wizard who possesses ancient Egyptian magic."

"What are you going to do?"

"Let me think about it. It would be great if I found it, but it's okay if I don't. Just consider it a trip."

As they were talking, a leaf lifted the tent flap, and the spring water began to flow again.

"Are you still coming?"

Xu Fu snorted: "I've decided not to get out of bed all day today."

...

At 3 p.m., Barbara finally found her long-lost friend, and upon seeing her, her pent-up emotions burst forth.

"Where have you been? I've been looking for you all day."

"I made 15 calls in a row, and when no one answered, I almost called the police, you know that?"

Diana apologized, saying, "I ran into an old friend and had a few drinks. I promise I won't do it again."

Barbara hummed a song as she walked out of her house, just in time to see Lucio walking towards her.

Hello, Ms. Minerva

"Hi"

Barbara smiled and nodded, appearing elegant and composed: "Mr. Lucio, where were you last night? We wanted to discuss the action plan with you, but we couldn't find you."

Xu Fu raised his hand and pointed upstairs: "The room was too noisy, so I moved to the top floor."

"Yes"

Barbara breathed a sigh of relief for no apparent reason: the weight that had been hanging over her heart had finally been lifted.

Diana came out of the room

"Mr. Lucio, when are we leaving?"

"Tomorrow, this is a nice hotel, and I'd like to stay here a few more times."

Diana's cheeks flushed, and she glared at him fiercely when her friend wasn't looking.

"Our destination is the Sinai Peninsula. Once we get there, we need to gather intelligence and search for underground ruins, so time is of the essence. It would be best if we set off tonight."

"Isn't this too fast?"

No, the sooner the better.

"it is good!"

Xu Fu shrugged: "Since Ms. Prince asked, let's do it this way. It's just a pity that the bed in this hotel is too comfortable!"

Odin shook his head and sighed, his brow furrowed with worry.

Barbara frowned, sensing something was amiss, and couldn't help but ask a question, which was also...

Do you know Mr. Lucio?

Diana rolled her eyes: "I've never met Dane Lucio."

"But...but..."

Barbara remained expressionless, and after thinking for a long time, she still couldn't come up with a solution.

Diana ignored her and instead put her bag downstairs.

Chapter 1517 Sinai Peninsula

The Sinai Peninsula is a triangular peninsula connecting Africa and Asia. It is not large, with an area of ​​only 6.1 square kilometers. It has a hot and dry climate, sparse vegetation, and almost two-thirds of its area is desert.

Unlike the Earth of the past, the Sinai Peninsula of this world does not belong to Egypt or Israel; it is a chaotic region filled with many shady merchants.

Here, with enough money, you can buy anything: weapons, drugs, contraband, even women, children, and slaves.

The original inhabitants of the Sinai Peninsula are the Kandak people, who are said to have a history of more than 5000 years. They once created a legendary and great kingdom during the ancient Egyptian period. Later, for some unknown reason, the king disappeared, and the Kandak people ceased to exist, leaving only the struggling Kandak people.

There are only two cities on the island: Arish in the north on the Mediterranean coast and Sharm el-Sheikh in the south on the Red Sea coast.

The first stop on the route is Arish.

It's less like a city and more like a transportation hub: dirty, chaotic, and dilapidated, riddled with potholes and garbage, with "security guards" armed with AK rifles in every corner.

They were called security guards, but they were actually bandits serving the local warlords. They didn't care about petty theft, so 907 became a gathering place for thieves.

The appearance of the crowd attracted a lot of attention. Diana noticed something, turned her head to look at Xu Fu, and Xu Fu said nothing. He walked up to the security guard, took out a card and handed it to her.
