Pet King

Richard also saw the pistol and screamed, “Hey! Let me remind you that you should not play with a pistol!”

Zhang Zian pulled a wet wipe from his pocket and took the pistol out of its holster.
He’d seen this pistol in a war movie before.
It seemed to be from a brand called Browning, and it felt heavier than he’d thought it would.

“Zhang Zian, this…” Old Time Tea opened his eyes wide, indicating that he was very worried.

He nodded.
“I know that this thing has been in disrepair for a long time.
A lot of dust has gotten inside it.
If I use it to fire a bullet, it may blow up in my hands.
However, it is still possible to scare people off with it.”

After inspection and making sure the pistol’s safety was on, he decided to keep it.
He rubbed the Browning pistol down with a wet wipe and attached it behind his back, much like in the movies…though he was petrified by this action.

Fina had been getting increasingly impatient.
She had been trying her best to keep it in.
Now, she could tolerate it no longer and said angrily, “What are you doing? If you are afraid, just stay here! I will show them who’s boss around here all by myself!”

She jumped out the window and ran to the north side of the pyramid.

“Meow meow meow…” Snowy Lionet also tried to jump out of the window…but suffered a great fall.

Fortunately, it was sand, and it was not a big problem except that it was somewhat embarrassing.

“Don’t be so anxious.
Listen carefully—they are still digging around at the north side and have yet to enter the pyramid,” Zhang Zian said.
“I can even hear it.
You should try to hear it clearly as well.”

Old Time Tea also chimed in.
“Yes, please calm down.
There is no need to rush.”

Fina really did hear the sound of gravel being cleared coming from the north side.
However, amidst all that was happening, she had lost her cool and could only think of how to stop them.
Why was everyone seeking to prevent her from entering the pyramid?

“Knowing ourselves and knowing the enemy is key.
Let us first find out what their situation is, and then we can draw up a safe plan to guarantee our win,” Zhang Zian said and returned to the car.
He took out the drone, which had proved to be highly useful for this expedition.

He already knew that there was strong magnetic interference in the area.
Flying the drone was a risky move and could cause it to crash.
However, in any case, his and the elfins’ safety was more important.

The drone was quickly assembled and took off with a command given on the remote control.

Usually there was a lot of noise and rippling on the screen of the remote control.
This indicated that there was interference to the signal transmission.
However, this was a high-performance professional drone.
The signal transmission and receiver were powerful, and the interference could reasonably be dealt with.
This was no ordinary toy drone.

He didn’t dare let the drone fly in a crazy manner.
He kept it within his field of vision and only allowed it to climb vertically.

The top of the pyramid slowly appeared on the screen.
He slowed down the drone and carefully raised his view just a little bit.

The situation on the north side of the pyramid appeared on the screen.
Peter Lee and his team’s off-road vehicles were parked in the open space just by the north side.
There were several large suitcases that lay open on the ground.
It was impossible to see what was in the boxes, but it was likely the explosive materials they’d brought.

They were usually well-dressed, but now they looked like a group of hooligans.
Everyone was dirty and covered in mud.
It was difficult to make out who was male and who was female.
They used the suitcase as a wheelbarrow to carry loose gravel out, with two carrying a suitcase.

They’d driven for a full day and worked for another night.
At this time they were likely highly exhausted and moving by sheer willpower.

The site of the passageway was not visible, but a faint sound could be heard.
It might have been that the blasted passage was being trimmed with a tool, perhaps a chisel, to widen the hole.

As they worked, they looked towards the north from time to time.
They were discussing something, perhaps discussing whether the expedition team had heard the explosion and whether the expedition team would follow up to see what would happen.

As the sun rose higher, the temperature rose rapidly.
High-intensity labor in the sun was suicidal, which is why they’d worked through the night.

They knew this, but they hadn’t stopped working yet.
It seemed like the final sprint.

Zhang Zian was worried that the drone had stayed in the air for too long.
They would likely see it if they looked up.
He made a quick final sweep and landed the drone on the hood of his vehicle so that it could take off at any time if the need arose.

“How was it?” asked Old Time Tea.

Zhang Zian frowned.
Although the situation was clear, there was no cover around the pyramid.
No sand dunes existed, and there was nothing that could serve as cover.
Once they moved from both ends, they would be discovered immediately.

The base of the golden pyramid was 100 meters long.
Even if Fina was agile, even if Old Time Tea was invincible, combined with Famous’ and Vladimir’s strength, they still needed to run more than 50 meters to reach Peter Lee and his team.
There were no barriers within these 50 meters.

Stealth was also not feasible because the elfins were full of hostility and intent on attacking the group.

Also… What if they had guns?

This was not impossible.
Since they could get explosives, it would not be difficult to carry a few guns.
There are rumors that AK47s and RPGs were sold in bulk in Africa.

Fina saw his face and knew that the idea in his mind wasn’t a good one.
She said coldly, “Forget it.
You can retreat to a safe place.
I will go by myself.”

“Fina…” Old Time Tea wanted to persuade Fina yet again.

Zhang Zian also wanted to say something.
Suddenly Famous shouted, “Hey! Come over and see!”

Everyone’s attention fell on Famous.

They hadn’t seen when he had run to a spot slightly farther away.
At a slightly raised sandpit, he was digging with his front paw.
It was as if he’d discovered something.

Zhang Zian and the elfins ran forward and looked at what he’d done.

In the sand pit, a small corner of a military uniform was exposed.
It was another corpse buried by the yellow sand.
Famous had found the corpse because it smelled the same as the previous one.

However, what would be the point in finding it? Even if he took a gun from the corpse, Zhang Zian did not dare to use it.
Besides, at more than 50 meters, the pistol’s accuracy greatly diminished.

Famous continued digging.
“There is something next to it.”

Zhang Zian, seeing how sure he was, decided to chip in and help with the digging as well.
Soon, his fingers touched a cold, hard object.
It felt like metal, but it was much thicker and longer than a pistol.
Might it be an assault rifle?

As they dusted away the sand, they revealed the unknown object.

It was not a gun but a collapsible metal ladder.
It was both strong and heavy.

Zhang Zian and the elfins were stunned.
What were these soldiers doing, bringing such a heavy ladder to this place?
