Chapter 40: Heading to the Desert

When Arthur called the front desk to clean the room, a purple light flashed in an alleyway not far from the hotel, and three young girls appeared in the alleyway. They seemed to be the same age as Poppy and the others.

One girl covered her right shoulder and said excitedly to the other, "I found it, Professor Charles's phone number, Polaris, your guess is indeed right, they are from the X-Men."

"Are you okay?" Polaris looked at her and asked with concern.

"It's okay. After all, he is an X-Men, so he didn't do anything too harsh. It's just a little painful. It should be fine in two days."

In their image, the X-Men are heroes among mutants, so they can't help but have a better impression of Arthur. Knowing that Arthur is only afraid of breaking the wall and losing money, I wonder if she will Angry and vomiting blood.

"Yes." Polaris nodded to her, and then asked another purple-haired woman, "Flicker, what are the harvests in the other rooms? What is their purpose here?"

Twinkle shook her head and replied, "Two people went out, so it was easier, but they were almost the same, with nothing but clothes. However, you would never have guessed that the woman in the cloak had a pair of butterfly wings on her back. !”

Ignoring Shuang Shuang's little excitement, Polaris held his forehead with a headache, "So we were discovered by the other party this time, and nothing was found except Professor Charles's contact information?"

Twinkle thought for a moment and replied, "Well... at least we know that the man with tied hair is not easy to mess with."

After hearing her answer, Polaris rolled her eyes angrily, and then dragged the two people who were still in a state of excitement out of the alley.

On the other side, Katie and John, who had just returned from the madness, looked at Arthur speechlessly. They didn't have much money to begin with, and the money Meghan used to buy the news was given by Charles, so...

After losing the money for the hotel, they will become poor. Although the activity funds Charles gave them are not low, they are funds used for tasks after all. If they run out, it will be very difficult if there is not enough money in the future. Troublesome.

"Please, I didn't do this, I'm the victim." Arthur said speechlessly.

The previous room was no longer habitable. There were knives and forks stuck everywhere in the room. It would take some time to clean it up. After all, the TV, bed, walls, etc. were all damaged.

"So what you encountered this time was not some strange event, but three mutants who were looking for something?" Megan asked Arthur.

Arthur thought for a moment and said, "Could they be Magneto's people? After all, they can also control metal."

"I don't know. Anyway, we have to be careful next time. It seems that this time things are not simple."

There is nothing wrong with Meghan thinking so. After all, they had just arrived in Cairo and someone came to search their salutes in the middle of the night. It was not just Arthur. After discovering that Arthur had happened, they found that their salutes had been searched.

Nothing else happened in the next night, and Arthur and the others did not inform Charles of the incident. After all, they were no longer children, so they couldn't just look for Charles as soon as something happened.

Early the next morning, a group of people rented six camels and headed for the Sahara Desert. It was hard to imagine the Abu Muharrik Sand Dunes, which was once known as one of the most unsuitable places for survival, because of the chaos of the apocalypse, which caused the emergence of the sand dunes in the middle. Several oases.

So in recent years, as ancient Egyptian ruins have been discovered in those oases, more and more people have settled there. The Abu Muharrik Sand Dunes have also become more populated due to archeology, and they are no longer as desolate as before.

Poppy took a sip of water and raised his head to look at the scorching sun above his head with squinted eyes. "How long will it take? I feel like I'm going to be burned by the sun."

The daytime temperature in the Sahara Desert is almost unbearable even for Pyro John, let alone Iceman Bobby. For him, this place is simply hell, and he can't get even a little bit of water out of the air.

He felt as if all the water in the world had been drained by the sun. If he hadn't been prepared and brought enough water, Bobby would have died of thirst.

"It's still early. If we speed up, we won't be able to get there until at least the night after tomorrow. The map says there is an oasis not far ahead. Let's take a rest when we get there." Megan said after taking a look.

"Oh my god, why did we choose to ride a camel instead of driving a car?" Bobby said in a panic.

Just now they met a man who drove a car and overtook them, and disappeared into the desert with a burst of sand and dust. They looked envious of him.

Megan said to Bobby angrily, "Don't be stupid. If we drive, we can't enter the Abu Muharrik Sand Dunes. Driving there is completely seeking death."

She was also extremely hot. She had one more pair of wings than anyone else and had been wearing a cloak to cover her wings. Now she felt more uncomfortable than anyone else.

At noon, a group of people arrived at the oasis Megan mentioned. When they arrived, they found that many people had been staying on the oasis. It seemed that their destination, like Arthur and the others, was the middle of the Abu Muharrik Sand Dunes. of those villages.

When Arthur and the others arrived, no one came to say hello or anything. Most of them left after resting for a while, filling their stomachs, and the person who left after them always chose to leave almost half an hour before the person before them. Just set off.

"Apart from the group of archaeological lunatics, the only people who want to go to the Abu Muharrik Sand Dunes are the desperadoes who want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune. They don't dare to go together, because once they are robbed here, no one will come back. No matter what, if you die, you will die, hundreds of people die in this desert every year."

Megan explained the reason to them. After all, Megan was responsible for guiding them and leading the team, so she wanted to tell them as much as she could about what she knew, including how to tell who the other party was and what their occupation was.

Because Arthur was with "Judgement", he could clearly see the blood-red threads on each of their bodies, but Bobby and the others did not, so they could only listen carefully to Megan's teachings.

Although Megan's voice had been lowered, the oasis was only so big, and it was still heard by a group of people not far from them. Arthur noticed that the group of people would secretly look at them from time to time.

Of course Megan also discovered it, but she didn't say anything. After all, this kind of thing is very common here. Megan has to see blood several times every time she goes to the Middle East for a mission.
