The team left the railway and headed towards the road. This decision was made after discussion between Giovanna and Qian Jun, because she was worried about being pursued by the pursuers. Another reason was that after a hard battle, no one wanted to go through a two-hundred-kilometer forced march again.
After making this decision, Giovanna used a satellite phone to contact members of the rescue society in Kano, Nigeria, and asked them to drive to pick them up.
After a period of trekking, the team arrived on the road. The road was quiet and deserted. The veterans of the rescue association were dragging their tired bodies along the road, as were the members of the Zodiac Team. They were not much better. Although the injuries on their bodies were not fatal, they were enough to affect their speed.
Is this battle a victory
If so, it was a miserable victory. If Xia Lei hadn't taken action in time, no one here would have survived.
Shentu Tianyin walked with a limp, and the physical exertion and the blood blisters on the soles of her feet made her very painful, but no one here carried her like Xia Lei did. She walked at the back of the team, looking back at Friendship Mining from time to time. She was worried about Xia Lei, and she wanted to share the burden, but she couldn't do anything. This experience made her understand that sometimes money cannot solve problems, even if she has 100 billion.
"What do you think the boss will do when he goes back? Also, will he arrive in Chad on time to meet us?" For a while, Angumihan broke the oppressive silence.
"I don't know what he is going to do back, but I am sure he will come to Chad to join us." Yelena said.
Saimu sighed, "Hey, I must take a good vacation when I go back this time."
Arecio said: "Go to Italy, Italian girls are so passionate."
Several members of the Zodiac Team chatted and chatted, using this method to relax their tense nerves and moods.
At the rescue society, Giovanna said to the veterans of the rescue society: "We have lost many brothers, but we should not be sad, they just went to heaven. We will give their parents, wives and children a generous pension, five dollars per person. One hundred thousand U.S. dollars. There is also a bounty for those who are alive, two hundred thousand U.S. dollars per person."
The veterans of the relief association suddenly became excited. Each of the lost brothers could receive half a million dollars, which was enough for their parents, wives, and children to have enough food and clothing for the rest of their lives. A living person can earn 200,000 U.S. dollars. For a country like Nigeria, where people’s income is only 2,000 U.S. dollars, they need to work for a hundred years to earn so much money!
Whether they are dead or alive, their efforts have been rewarded.
This is actually the trick of Giovanna and the others. They want to let the people in the rescue society know that they will have no worries whether they are living or dead people fighting for the rescue society in the future. In this way, more people will be willing to fight for the Rescue Society in the future.
After appeasing the veterans of the Relief Society, Giovanna returned to Rosa, Stella and Theresa. She looked back at Shentu Tianyin, who was walking at the back of the team, and felt a little unbearable as she watched her limping. She walked towards Shentu Tianyin, "Do you need help?"
Shentu Tianyin shook his head, "No need, thank you."
"We may still have to walk a long way, can you do it? If you can't, I can ask a veteran to carry you." Giovanna said.
"No, I can leave. I don't need anyone to carry me." Shentu Tianyin refused. The only man in this world who can touch her body is Xia Lei.
Giovanna shrugged, "That's up to you."
Shentu Tianyin limped forward, Leng Ao and stubborn. But that's her charm.
At this time, Rosa suddenly said: "A car is coming, take cover!"
Everyone pulled off the road and hid in the forest on the roadside.
At one end of the road, seven or eight cars were approaching quickly. While driving, the car at the front flashed its lights several times.
"It's our people! Our car is here!" Giovanna shouted.
Everyone was back on the road, and the vehicles that came to pick them up also drove over, turned around, and stopped on the roadside.
"Miss Shentu, get in the car." Giovanna said.
Shentu Tianyin nodded, but when she walked to the car door, she couldn't help but look back. She had been looking forward to a scene, that is, Xia Lei suddenly appeared in front of her, with her favorite smile on his face. However, the road behind was empty, with no one at all.
Shentu Tianyin sighed in disappointment, but just as she was about to turn around and get in the car to leave, a familiar figure suddenly walked out of the forest on the roadside. She was stunned for a moment and saw clearly. She suddenly cheered and ran towards the man.
Xia Lei is back.
Shentu Tianyin limped up to Xia Lei and threw herself into his arms, tears streaming down her face. She choked and couldn't speak.
"How can you run so fast if your feet hurt?" Xia Lei said with a smile. Shentu Tianyin's softness dispelled the coldness in his heart and made him temporarily forget those bad things.
"Even if you don't have legs, you can crawl over here." Shentu Tianyin said. After experiencing this journey of blood and fire, she changed and understood what she wanted.
"Can I carry you over?" Xia Lei's voice was gentle.
Shentu Tianyin bit her lips lightly and said, "Yeah."
If it were before, she would never show her sweet side in front of so many people, but now she is willing just because he is Xia Lei.
Xia Lei picked up Shentu Tianyin and strode towards the vehicle.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Shentu Tianyin and Xia Lei, but Shentu Tianyin didn't care at all. Xia Lei's hands were in the crook of her legs and around her waist. She felt that these were the warmest and safest arms in the world. She wanted to lie there for the rest of her life.
"Boss, didn't you let us go first and come to Chad to meet us?" Elena asked.
Xia Lei said: "The matter has been dealt with, let's go."
"Get in the car! Get in the car!" Giovanna shouted: "Let's get out of here!"
Xia Lei said: "No need to drive so fast, no one will chase us."
No one knew what happened, but Xia Lei's return gave everyone peace of mind.
The retreating convoy raced on the road through the Forest of No Return, getting further and further away. In the deep blue night sky, a full moon quietly exudes a cool light. Dotted with countless stars, it is distant and mysterious. It seems that there is an ancient and mysterious language saying something, but unfortunately no one can decipher it.
In a car, Xia Lei looked back at the direction of Youyi Mining, and then said to Shentu Tianyin beside him: "Tianyin, your seventh uncle is dead."
"Did Americans do it?" Shentu Tianyin asked.
Xia Lei said: "I don't know if it was the Americans or the people from Boca Haram. Your seventh uncle seemed to have a deal with those people and betrayed you and Youyi Mining, but I don't know why they killed him again."
"If you die, you will die." Shentu Tianyin said.
"Also, after you return, you immediately file a complaint with the Nigerian government and ask the Nigerian government to protect the property of Wanxiang Group."
"Will this work?"
"It's no use."
"Then I don't want it." Shentu Tianyin said.
Xia Lei said: "I want it if I can, and I don't want it if I don't come back."
Shentu Tianyin rested his head on Xia Lei's shoulder, "I only want you."
Xia Lei smiled.
"Hmm." Giovanna who was driving coughed, "Sheng Lei, should we go directly to Chad, or should we go to the Rescue Society's stronghold for repairs?"
"Go to the rescue association's stronghold to make some repairs." Xia Lei said: "People from the CIA are here. There are many people. Let's collect information. It will be safer this way."
"Okay," Giovanna said. She glanced at Shentu Tianyin who was leaning on Xia Lei's shoulder in the rearview mirror. When she saw Shentu Tianyin's happy face, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
Coincidentally, her sister Stella was also using the rearview mirror to peek at Xia Lei and Shentu Tianyin. When she saw Shentu Tianyin nestled in Xia Lei's arms, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
"Holy Thunder?" Xia Lei smiled bitterly, "Why do you call me that?"
Giovanna and Stella said in unison, "For no reason, we will call you this from now on, Holy Thunder."
Xia Lei, "..."
The convoy left the forest, entered Kano City, and then came to the ancient building.
Giovanna and the four of them started to deal with the pension and bonus matters, while the members of the Zodiac Team were treating their wounds and resting in the house. Xia Lei and Shentu Tianyin were placed in a separate room.
Entering the room, an oil painting hanging on the wall caught Xia Lei's attention.
The content of the painting is a forest, a forest shrouded in darkness, but in the forest there is a snow-white beam of light rushing into the dark sky. In the white light, the appearance of a man with wings can be vaguely seen. There is an English label in the lower right corner of the oil painting: Forest of No Return, the hometown of elves.
Elf
Obviously there are no elves in this world, but there is a strange and mysterious pyramid in that forest. Perhaps the ancient Kano people gave the forest the name "Forest of No Return" because they saw the snow-white beams of light and the appearance of elf-like creatures.
Xia Lei suddenly remembered something, "Tianyin, I entered the mine for a while. Was there a bright light or something outside?"
"Bright light?" Shentu Tianyin looked a little confused.
Xia Lei said: "Yes, bright light, have you seen it?"
Shentu Tianyin thought about it seriously, "Yes, it seemed to be in the direction of the mine. I saw a white light flying into the sky. I thought it was a searchlight and didn't pay attention."
"How long did it last?"
"It will only take a second or two. It will disappear soon." Shentu Tianyin said.
Xia Lei's eyes moved to the oil painting again. It was not very old, probably only a few decades old. The person who painted this painting has no signature, but in terms of painting style, it is actually a very ordinary oil painting with limited skill. But it was this oil painting whose content was confirmed tonight.
There has always been a theory that the pyramids were built by aliens, and the pyramids in Mine No. 13 and the mountainside in the suburbs of Jerusalem, Israel, were simply not built by humans. Now it seems that they are really facilities used to transmit signals and contact alien civilizations!
So, are Zhu Xuanyue's kind coming soon
Is the disaster or even the end of this world coming
Xia Lei felt heavy.
"What happened?" Shentu Tianyin asked with concern.
Xia Lei smiled bitterly, "It's nothing." He looked at her and his voice became gentle, "When you go back, just do whatever you want. Don't just think about your career."
Shentu Tianyin smiled, "Is this what you said, that I can do whatever I want?"
Xia Lei nodded, "Well, you can do whatever you want."
"Then take a shower with me." Shentu Tianyin took Xia Lei's hand and walked to the bathroom, "I still have a little antidote left, you won't let me use it up, right?"
Xia Lei, "..."
