As everyone knows, when the convoy drove into Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras, what appeared in front of everyone was a dilapidated city.
The name Tegucigalpa comes from the Indian language, meaning silver mountain. As the name suggests, there are very rich reserves of silver here.
However, silver, a precious metal, has not brought prosperity to this city, nor has it brought a better life to the people here.
As early as 2013, the city of Tegucigalpa went bankrupt and was reduced to auctioning city properties, but there were very few bidders.
This is a city with a long history. Its construction can be traced back to the mid-16th century. Because it contains a large amount of silver, this city has also had a glorious history. It was once one of the three richest cities in Central America.
In this city located on the foothills, the Choluteca River runs through the city and divides the city into two.
On the right bank of the river is the old city, which is a commercial and administrative center and densely populated residential areas. The streets in the old city are relatively narrow, the buildings are in soft colors, and most of the residents' balconies are suspended.
On the left bank of the river is the New City, with flat terrain and mostly modern high-rise buildings. The Parliament Building, Central Bank, and Presidential Palace are all here.
More than 50% of the people living in this city are Meztisos, and the others are Indians, Mulatos, Sambos, blacks and whites. The vast majority of people believe in Catholicism, and the residents speak Spanish language.
After the motorcade entered the urban area of Tegucigalpa, Ye Tian and the others admired the not-so-beautiful scenery outside the car window.
The people on the streets of Tegucigalpa were also watching this huge motorcade.
It can be seen that many people on the street have anger and even hatred in their eyes.
Of course, what is revealed in the eyes of many people is naked jealousy and greed, which cannot be concealed at all.
And all of this stems from poverty and the desire for wealth.
In addition to ordinary Tegucigalpa citizens, Ye Tian and the others also saw many Indians, or should be said to be modern Mayans, wearing national costumes and even holding spears and shields on the streets.
Different from the Indians in North America, the Indians here are slightly thinner and darker, and tend to be of mixed Latin American descent.
When these Indians saw this huge convoy roaring past, they would raise their arms high, wave their spears or shields, and shout angrily.
Some of them would even assume an aggressive stance and appear very unfriendly.
In addition, on the streets of Tegucigalpa, Ye Tian also saw many guys with ulterior motives, all staring closely at this huge convoy, with greed shining in everyone's eyes.
Among these guys are local gangsters in Honduras, professional treasure hunters and explorers from all over the world, mercenaries of unknown origin, drug dealers and addicts everywhere in the Americas, etc.
Obviously, these guys already know that Ye Tian and his team from Columbia University have arrived in Honduras and the operation to explore the treasures of the Golden City of the Mayan Empire will begin soon.
Just from the greedy eyes of these guys when looking at the convoy, it can be seen at a glance that these guys are all here for the treasure of the Golden City of the Mayan Empire, and none of them are good.
Looking at the scene outside the car window, Ye Tian couldn't help but sigh.
“The situation in Honduras is far worse than I imagined. Look at the people on the street. Almost everyone’s eyes contain anger and hatred, as well as greed and madness.
Their anger and hatred are obviously directed at the Honduran ruling authorities. People live in a state of agitation, so it is not surprising that they hate the ruling authorities. The Honduran authorities are indeed useless.
However, the greed and madness in the eyes of those outside should be directed at us and the treasures of the Golden City of the Mayan Empire. As soon as we arrived here, we became the target of public criticism."
David, who was also sitting in the SUV, turned to look at the street scene outside the window, and then continued:
“When people are in rags and don’t have enough to eat, hatred and sin will naturally arise. The objects that make people hate and even want revenge are those in power who are usually domineering and above themselves. .
In such a country, it is suddenly revealed that a shocking treasure may be hidden somewhere. How can people not go crazy about it? It’s no surprise that we, who came here to explore this treasure, have become the target of public criticism.”
Ye Tian nodded slightly, and then said solemnly:
"Yes, it seems that this joint exploration operation will encounter a lot of troubles. We must be more cautious and be on guard at all times"
As they spoke, the convoy passed a bridge over the Choluteca River and entered the new urban area of Tegucigalpa.
As soon as the motorcade got off the bridge, Cole's voice suddenly came from the wireless invisible earphones.
"Steven, there was an emergency. Organized by the Honduran opposition party, the chiefs of several of the most important Mayan tribes in Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador suddenly rushed to the hotel we booked.
In addition to more than a dozen tribal chiefs, these chiefs also brought many young people from their respective tribes, and each of them brought traditional weapons, such as throwing axes, daggers, spears, etc. Many people from the Honduran opposition also came.
Instigated by several opposition congressmen, modern Mayans from all over the country and many people who support the opposition have surrounded the hotel to protest and demand an interview with you.
Similar to the original demands of the Indians in North America, the modern Mayans claimed that they were descendants of the ancient Mayans, and that the treasures of the Golden City of the Mayan Empire should belong to them and demanded the treasures.
This protest and demonstration came very suddenly. After we left the airport, these guys poured out of the streets and quickly gathered at the hotel where we stayed to start a protest and demonstration.
According to careful observation by several of our guys at the scene, the people who organized and instigated this protest and demonstration were all from the Honduran opposition party. Those guys were mixed in the crowd and kept confusing the Mayans."
Hearing this report, Ye Tian couldn't help but have a sneer on his lips.
Without a moment's hesitation, he immediately said with a sneer:
“No need to ask, those modern Mayans came here for the treasures of the Golden City of the Mayan Empire, dreaming of making a fortune, completely changing their lives, and living a prosperous life.
The opposition party in Honduras, which is secretly stirring up trouble, not only comes for the treasure of the Golden City of the Mayan Empire, but also comes for the president and the ruling party of Honduras. It has great ambitions.
Cole, report this situation to the official person in charge of Honduras and let them solve it. Let's see how they deal with those Mayans and political opponents. Let's not wade into this muddy water.
You can tell them clearly that if these things cannot be settled, this tripartite joint exploration of the treasures of the Golden City of the Mayan Empire will have to press the pause button.
If possible, it is best not to use force to solve the problem. As soon as we arrived in Honduras, we had conflicts with the local Mayans, which was obviously not conducive to the next actions.
As for the Mayan tribal chiefs, I can meet with them under safe conditions. In fact, I also want to know about the living conditions of the modern Mayans."
"Understood, Steven, I will notify the official representative of Honduras"
Cole responded and immediately took action.
Ye Tian, who was in the car, smiled and said to David:
"David, there's something good to watch!"
