Chapter 25 Contact with the Protagonist
Even without telescopes and dark vision, when the ship on the river caught fire, Chen Mo and Ada Wang could clearly see the flames rising from the hull and the passengers jumping into the water.
Seeing people on the ship constantly jumping into the water and swimming towards the shore, Chen Mo put away the telescope in his hand and said to Ada Wang: "It's almost time, let's go over, be careful not to show your true colors."
"Got it, boss." Ada Wang responded, gently squeezed the horse's belly, and rode forward with Chen Mo towards the river bank.
On the river bank, O'Connor and his group, who had just climbed out of the river, finished their harsh words to Benny on the opposite side, and then dragged their wet bodies towards the shore.
Although they landed on the right bank, they lost all the luggage and supplies they carried, and there were no horses or camels, which was very deadly in the desert, not to mention that they had to compete with the group of people on the opposite side to see who could reach the destination first.
This problem was particularly serious for Miss Evelyn, who had just lost the tools, equipment, and all her clothes needed for archaeology, and was only wearing a nightgown.
"We lost everything and now we have no horses. How can we get to Hamunatta?" Although Evelyn did not have a temper like a young lady, she had accumulated a lot of resentment after encountering such a bad thing.
Facing the complaints of the sponsor, O'Connor could only comfort her at this time: "Don't worry, this is the Nile River. There are many settlements on the river bank. As long as we have money, we can easily buy what we need, water, food, clothes and camels. As long as we have these, we can still get to Hamunatta faster than Benny and his men."
Hearing what O'Connor said, Evelyn's brother Jonathan and the warden who had to follow him were relieved. They didn't want to cross the desert on their own two legs.
Just as the four of them were wringing out their clothes and taking a short rest, planning to reach the nearby settlement as soon as possible while it was cool at night, they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from nearby.
This startled O'Connor, who quickly grabbed his pistol and became alert.
Although he had spent most of his time in bars in the past few years, O'Connor had not lost his eating skills.
If he was not alert, he would have been eaten alive by others, especially since they had just been attacked. If they were the accomplices of the men in black, they would have been killed in their current state.
Just when O'Connor was thinking about whether to run away directly or to have professional ethics and find a way to keep the financier alive, Chen Mo and Ada Wang, who were riding horses, finally appeared in front of them.
Seeing Chen Mo and Ada Wang, O'Connor first breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the two people in front of him very alertly. Judging
from the way Chen Mo and Ada Wang were dressed, they did not look like accomplices of the group that attacked them before, but there was only one man and one woman in the middle of the night, and they did not look like they had been through a lot, which really made O'Connor unsure of their identities.
To be safe, O'Connor pretended to be relaxed and greeted the two people: "Hello, how are you, what can I do for you?"
Ada Wang pulled the reins, glanced at O'Connor and his group, and then turned his eyes to his boss.
Although Chen Mo was also riding a horse, he did not move. The horse he was riding stood very obediently.
At this time, O'Connor was already on full alert, because the appearance of the two people in front of him was really a bit weird.
But Evelyn on the side still looked as if she didn't understand the situation. She was pleasantly surprised when she saw Chen Mo and Ada Wang. She went straight to O'Connor and asked Ada Wang, "Miss, do you have any extra clothes? We just encountered a little trouble and I lost all my clothes. If possible, can you sell me a few clothes?"
At this point, Evelyn seemed to remember something, and pulled Jonathan, who didn't understand the situation yet, over and said to Ada Wang, "My brother can pay!"
Jonathan, who was originally a little dizzy after being pulled by Evelyn, had to look up at Ada Wang. He originally just wanted to be polite, but he was instantly fascinated by Ada Wang's magical charm as a vampire. He stared at her with his eyes wide open, and he was fascinated.
Seeing Jonathan like this, Ada Wang was speechless. It was because her charm had increased to an inhuman level after she became a vampire that she usually wore a daywalker cloak and covered her face with the veil of the cloak. On the one hand, it was to protect herself from the sun's damage, and on the other hand, it was to hide her charm.
But she didn't expect that just now, in order to be cool and ventilate, and because it was night, she took off the veil on her face and forgot to put it back on. This caused trouble.
Although she herself was not worried about this level of trouble, Ada Wang still looked at her boss, hoping that this would not affect Chen Mo's plan.
Being looked at by Ada Wang, Chen Mo did not remain silent any longer. He reached out his hand and took out a monocle from his
pocket and put it on. Then he asked, "We saw a fire over there, so we came to see what happened. You look like you need help?" Chen Mo looked at the four people with his monocle, and then said to Ada Wang, "Ada, give this lady a piece of clothing. It's cold in the desert at night. Don't let her catch a cold."
"Yes, boss." Ada Wang agreed, then turned over and dismounted, took out the clothes and a dry towel that Chen Mo had asked her to prepare before, and handed them to Evelyn, who was still wet.
Seeing Chen Mo's goodwill, O'Connor relaxed his vigilance a little.
To be honest, he had just swam ashore from the river and fished out several companions. He had consumed a lot of energy and was just holding on for dear life. If Chen Mo and Ada Wang really had any plans, he didn't have much energy to resist. He was just trying to see if his gun could kill someone. However,
when he relaxed, O'Connor felt sore all over and broke out in a cold sweat.
Seeing him like this, Chen Mo smiled and invited him, "Our camp is nearby. If you don't mind, you can go over and take a rest, warm yourself by the fire, dry your clothes, eat something, and then have a good sleep."
