Chapter 436
Of course Li Xiao wasn't really asleep.
Although it took up to three hours to walk forward against the wind and sand, his physical strength was exhausted, and in the later stage, he completely relied on the special existence in his body to overdraw his physical potential.
This huge consumption cannot be fake.
He also wanted to get a good night's sleep to replenish his strength.
But the reality does not allow him to rest. Who knows if this sleep will become a permanent sleep, and everything on his body will become the spoils of some corpse pickers.
He must keep his head clear.
In fact, it is already a miracle that he can survive till now.
You must know that the people who came to perform the mission before, even if they brought oxygen cylinders, or even used vehicles such as cars, could not easily reach the mission location.Even if they survived, they would be regarded as invaders by the natives in Kurk City and attack them, causing huge losses.
This is also the reason why Zhao Shen is unwilling to continue sending his elite men here.
But it was also the first two batches of elite pathfinders who gave important reminders to Duan Rong and his party and Li Xiao who came here later.
At the very least, if they didn't all die on the way here, it's half the battle.
As for what will happen next, what is the situation on Duan Rong's side, it is not something that Li Xiao can know at this moment.
He only knew that the moment he lay down, there was a trace of fish belly white in the eastern sky, dispersing the wind, sand and darkness, and the sound of the door lock was heard somewhere more than ten meters away.
With a click, a wooden board was lifted from the ground, and a slightly tanned face poked out from the entrance of the underground passage.
Li Xiao was lucky. He chose this safe haven, not far from one of the many entrances to the underground ancient city of Kurk. Every day at this time, the "gatekeeper" of the ancient city will open the entrance cellar door and build a way out for the people in the city. access.
The gatekeeper Gu Yao also felt that she was lucky. If she was unlucky, how could she pick up a rich man right away.
Gu Yao, whose full name is Gunahan Muza Lulisi Ke Yao, in the language of the local people, the meaning of this name is "a person favored by the gods".It's a pity that in the past 40 years, Gu Yao never felt that she was favored by the gods.
If the gods really favored him, how could they turn him into the kind of person who only gets a salary of 800 yuan a month but does the most dangerous job of guarding the gate?
The work of guarding the underground entrance of the ancient city of Kurk is quite dangerous.
Every time the entrance is opened, it is not much different from competing with the god of death.
Who knows if the sandstorm outside has stopped? If nature suddenly changes its rules and the sandstorm does not stop at the scheduled time, he may be swept away by the strong wind the moment he emerges.
Even if the wind and sand stopped, who could guarantee that when the board was lifted, a large amount of yellow sand would not slant down and directly bury him alive.
Well, even if the crisis of nature is excluded, it is necessary to consider whether there are human factors.
Who knows if someone would put a gun directly to his forehead the moment the entrance door was lifted.
In the past few decades, Gu Yao has witnessed countless colleagues die from the above reasons.
Fortunately, he is still alive.
Perhaps, this can be regarded as a kind of being favored by nature.
However, Gu Yao still didn't realize this, and still felt that life was full of hardships.
Take the matter of picking up corpses, for example, for people like Gu Yao, the only thing that makes them excited is probably opening the entrance on time every day, and looking up, you can see some tragic fate. The traveler was taken away by the desert god of death, leaving behind a lot of valuable supplies, which were picked up for them.
A few hours ago, Du Keza, who guarded the entrance with him, picked up several people.
There are two men and one woman alive, and the woman is still a beautiful woman.
Du Keza changed hands and sent the beauty to the leader of the faction here. Not only did he get a reward, but he also left behind a suit of clothes and equipment from the dead person.
Gu Yao is getting older, and he doesn't want to be as faithless as those young people. He doesn't care about the identity of the people who come, so he sends living people out as trophies to receive rewards, and he shows extreme disrespect for the dead.
Although he can also pick up corpses, he must pray devoutly to the gods before picking up corpses, wishing that the dead can go to heaven before doing it.
The only pity is that in the past few decades, he has never had this kind of opportunity to pick up corpses.
Looking back at those young friends around him, they can always make a lot of money by various opportunities, but he has always gotten nothing.
This all made him suspect that he was a fake gatekeeper. His most respected god had abandoned him, leaving him without even a chance to make some extra money.
Until this moment, all dissatisfaction with the gods disappeared.
When he finally emerged, he saw the dead outsider.
Gu Yao, who was over fifty years old, burst out with the vitality of a young man. She rushed over as quickly as possible and knelt down directly beside Li Xiao who was lying down. She clasped her hands together and prayed devoutly.
After praying at the fastest speed, you can see a lot of banknotes in Li Xiao's hand when you look down.
Gu Yao was about to cry, and thanked the gods again, reaching out her hand to take away the banknotes worth half a year's salary.
But after grabbing it, he couldn't snatch the thing from the "dead man".
"Live?"
Gu Yao stretched out her hand to check the other person's breath, and after finding out that it was still warm, she couldn't describe the shock in her heart.
How could this man be alive?
The people Du Keza picked up before were fully armed and even carried oxygen cylinders. With such sophisticated equipment, one person died, and the rest were half-dead.
But the person in front of him has nothing, but seems to be asleep, and is obviously in a good state.
"Are you also a person favored by the gods?"
Gu Yao muttered to herself, pondered for a moment, bent down to lift Li Xiao up, and strode towards the entrance.
It was also at the same time that he picked up Li Xiao, that large handful of banknotes automatically fell into his chest pocket as if he had eyes.
It is said that Gu Yao is a person favored by the gods, but he still doesn't believe it.
If he had evil thoughts in his heart just now and tried to kill people and steal money, Li Xiao would definitely send him to hell to report.
But now, Li Xiao is very pleased that the other party can take the initiative to take him into the underground ancient city, which can give him enough opportunities to think about how to complete the task after understanding the underground situation.
For people who have been walking between the ground and the underground all year round, it is not difficult at all to carry a large living person back.
And Li Xiao was also in the process of being carried, and realized how wise it was to pretend to be unconscious.
There is an underground passage, and there are guards with live ammunition every few meters. With his ability, it is easy to fight all the way in.
But just keep killing like this, when will the killing be considered over, he is not stupid enough to think that he can slaughter the entire dungeon to complete a special task.
The twists and turns of the underground passage are more like a maze to him.
In such a complicated place, trying to find out the Zi-[-] satellite that was deliberately hidden by people seems to be really not as simple as drinking cold water.
