At noon on the second day after discovering the wing of the Junkers 52 transport plane, Wei Ran drove an armored pickup truck and pulled three 200-liter bottles specially used to hold drinking water before the believers held their second daily service. The iron barrel, water pump, and a large barrel of diesel that had been kept in the cargo bucket were quickly driven to the water source 30 kilometers away from the camp.
"Is this guy so resistant to religious beliefs?"
Edward joked in a dumbfounded way. After getting along with each other for the past few days, he has discovered Wei Ran's behavior. Basically, except for Except for the two services at dawn and evening, Wei Ran would leave the camp ten to fifteen minutes early for the other three services, and each time the young man could always find various reasonable reasons.
"Maybe the God of this desert has no intention of reaching a deal with Victor." Saleh teased noncommittally, and then asked proactively, "What about you, Mr. Edward, do you want to go out too?" "Turn around"
"I'll forget it" Edward waved his hand, "I can't do such a rude thing, even though those aborigines are pagans to me."
"What a coincidence. To them, you are also an infidel who should be buried in the sand and dried." Saleh said, raising his arm and pointing to his tent, "Let's go, Mr. Edward, in my tent There was also a bottle of high-end wine bought from the black market in Alexandria, which we drank secretly."
"This is an offer I can't refuse," Edward said, and followed Saleh in happily. tent.
While the two old guys were preparing to drink with each other while the "pagans" were worshiping, Weiran also stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and under the guidance of the navigation, drove the off-road vehicle straight to the I picked up the coordinate point I passed yesterday.
In less than half an hour, when the navigation indicated that they had arrived at their destination, Weiran immediately stepped on the brakes.
“This damn place”
Wei Ran complained expressionlessly. It was almost the hottest time of the day, and the temperature outside the car had even exceeded 50 degrees. Even though he deliberately put on thick hiking boots before setting off, he only stood on the unobstructed sand for less than two minutes before he felt the heat coming from the soles of his feet.
Not only wasting time, he got into the back compartment as quickly as possible and pulled out an inconspicuous black plastic box from the back of one of the airline seats.
What is contained in this box is not a weapon, but a civilian metal detector produced in Russia.
In fact, Weiran entrusted Jima to help prepare the truck before it was shipped to Egypt. After all, no matter what, if you want to help Edward find his grandfather's colleagues in the desert, you will definitely use this thing.
Wearing the scorching heat to assemble the metal detector, Wei Ran drank a bottle of cold Coke, then took the metal detector and began to search for possible gold in the high temperature.
I don’t know if it’s just luck or the metal book sitting on itThe mark was accurate enough, and within ten minutes, the metal detector emitted a strange beep.
Seeing this, Wei Ran looked at the direction in which he was looking vigilantly, and then immediately threw the metal detector aside, drove the pickup truck over to block the scorching sun, and opened the door to let the air conditioner on. The cold air was blown out as much as possible, and then he took off the shovel fixed to the side of the cargo bed, hid in the shadow of the car and started digging hard.
As a shovelful of dry yellow sand is thrown aside, the surrounding sand begins to slide toward the center. Often when two or three shovels are pushed down, the sand next to them piles up very high, but the dug areas are not. It's like it hasn't been dug before.
Seeing this, Wei Ran also got angry. He picked up the metal detector again and scanned it. After making sure that he had found the wrong location, he got directly into the cargo hopper and inserted the hose into the cargo hopper. Before setting off from Matruh Port, the iron drums were already filled with fresh water.
Take the other end of the hose and sip it hard. After a while, the warm and even hot fresh water flows out from the middle of the water pipe and is accurately poured around the location to be dug.
Estimating that half a bucket of water had been put in, Wei Ran hung the hose on the car door, picked up the shovel again and started digging.
This method of fixing sand with water is luxurious, but extremely effective. Soon, he dug out a sand pit nearly one meter deep. At the same time, the heat taken away when the water in the sand evaporated also made him feel a lot more comfortable.
He continued to dig hard with the shovel. The tremor coming from the tip of the shovel immediately made him realize that he must have dug something.
He picked up the hose again and poured water on it. Under the wash of the water, Wei Ran also saw the wooden box buried in it
It was not a big wooden box. Even staring at a thin ring of iron with desert-colored paint.
Looking around again, Wei Ran waved the shovel in his hand vigorously and emptied the wet yellow sand around the box as quickly as possible, then threw the shovel out and used all his strength. We need to move this wooden box out.
Unexpectedly, the weight of this box was far lighter than he expected. Not only did Wei Ran almost twist his waist, but the wooden box almost fell out of his hands because he used too much force and was thrown out by him.
"You're kidding me"
Wei Ran cursed and threw the leaky wooden box aside, and then he saw three gold bricks placed side by side< /p>
Fuck
Wei Ran immediately bent down and picked up one of the bricks. When the hot sunlight shone on the gold bricks, the dazzling light reflected made him involuntarily squint his eyes.
Without waiting to place the gold brick on the sand, he saw the eagle emblem and swastika stamped on the gold brick at a glance
Taking a breath, Wei Ran Suppressing his excitement, he took out the extra two pieces, and then realized that
"Wait"
Wei Ran held one piece in his hands as if he needed to take a small blue pill to straighten his back. The gold brick's eyes widened. Although the hardness of this thing is not as good as steel, it is still thick after all.Could it be that it was able to bend like this because
After a moment, Wei Ran's face showed an expression of sudden realization. He clearly remembered that before the plane made an emergency landing, there was a wooden Due to the violent turbulence of the plane, the box broke free and flew out of the cabin
Could it be this box
Wei Ran threw away the bent gold brick in his hand and picked up the first hugged one. The piece that came out was turned over, and sure enough, there were two clear depressions on the back. Obviously, this is because of the speculation when falling from a high altitude.
"Why aren't they the nine boxes of gold that Felix buried?"
Wei Ran felt a little regretful at first, but then he became excited again. No matter what, These are five gold bricks with a single weight of 10 kilograms
After thinking about it, he moved the five gold bricks onto the cargo hopper and unscrewed the 200-liter capacity as quickly as possible. I wiped the lid of the oil drum on the gold bricks with the hem of my T-shirt and stuffed them in one by one.
“Last time I stuffed gold nuggets and gold coins into a 20-liter oil drum in the desert. This time I stuffed gold bricks into a 200-liter oil drum. I wonder if I will encounter oil in the desert next time. What kind of good things will be stuffed into the tanker?"
Wei Ran muttered nervously. After tightening the lid, he immediately buried the broken wooden box back and shoveled dry ones from the surrounding area. The sand buried the scene, and then he got into the cab of the armored pickup truck. While driving in the direction of the water source, he secretly wondered whether the plane or another nine boxes of gold buried at the other coordinate point.
If it was a plane, he could only get a reward of 500,000 euros from Edward, but if it was an extra 450 kilograms of gold, how many 500,000 euros would that be?
< p>Wei Ran shivered involuntarily, and his eyes subconsciously moved to the tattoo on the tiger's mouth of his left hand. Gradually, his breathing, which was somewhat heavy due to excitement, calmed down little by little.He still remembers the conclusion written on the metal book, "The most terrifying thing in the desert is thirst. What is more terrifying than thirst is the lies and murder born of greed."
"Forget it, it's time to be content."
Wei Ran took a long breath, and the madness in his eyes was replaced by calmness and calmness. No matter whether it is an airplane or gold buried at another coordinate point, if I conceal its existence for the sake of the 50% chance, what difference will it make to the Felix of the past?
"It's time to be content. , it’s time to be content, greed can kill people."
Wei Ran comforted himself over and over again. The 450 kilograms of gold are certainly worth a lot to him now, but if he really wants them, I lost my true heart, and it was really not worth the gain. After all, people can live for gold, but they cannot live just for gold.
After figuring out the key, Wei Ran once again stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and rushed to the water source that he had visited at dusk yesterday.
Under the scorching sun, he stepped on the wooden board left here yesterday, threw the water pump into the iron bucket that was already filled with fresh water, turned on the switch of the water pump and took off his clothes. I happily took a cold shower that was not suitable for the temperature here, and also extinguished the last trace of greed remaining in my heart.
More than an hour later, when he returned to the camp with three large buckets of fresh water, the members of the nomadic tribe had already completed their routine worship and were gathering in groups to enjoy the meal. What a sumptuous lunch.
Even the little follower Aba Aba was sitting in the cab of the truck that was originally driven by Soliman, imitating the sound of the engine and happily contacting him for the rest of his life. Poor driving skills.
For these aborigines struggling in the desert, they did not know that there were 450 kilograms of gold bricks hidden in the desert, but correspondingly, their way to obtain happiness was also extremely easy as long as they Their water bladders were filled, and each received a crumpled apple in the bed of the truck on the way to Soliman. For Aba
Aba, perhaps just a steering wheel that can be turned is enough.
Accordingly, for Edward, who probably knew that 450 kilograms of gold were hidden here, it seemed that every minute and every second before he found the plane or even the gold was spent. More suffering than anyone else.
