All members of the Ethiopian exploration team, several senior officials, and many heavily armed Ethiopian military police were placed on the first island in the lake.
I also put down some supplies, mainly food and fresh water, as well as some outdoor camping equipment.
On this small island, Ye Tian's security personnel had already opened up a safe campsite and prepared many camping tents.
With these materials and equipment, the Ethiopians can live on this small island for a few days without any problem, not to mention that they can fish at any time for fresh meat.
After putting down most of the Ethiopians, the joint exploration fleet left the island and headed for another small island in the lake a few hundred meters away.
After a while, several cruise ships arrived at the island.
The scene that just happened happened again!
Several heavily armed security team members welcomed the arrival of the joint exploration team on this small island in the lake.
Similar to the previous island in the lake, they also opened up a flat campground on this island and prepared a large amount of supplies and equipment.
After the fleet docked, Ye Tian led his company employees and security team members, and boarded the island with their luggage, some exploration equipment, and a large amount of weapons and ammunition.
Mustafa, who followed, also got off the boat and walked onto the island to check out the situation here.
The situation and conditions on this small island are basically the same as the small island where the Ethiopian exploration team is located.
Seeing this scene, Mustafa was speechless.
After roughly checking the situation on the island, he came to Ye Tian and whispered:
"Okay, Steven, that's it for tonight. Your arrangement looks pretty good, just like what you said. It's fairly fair and doesn't treat the two parties differently.
What I am concerned about now is, when do you plan to launch a joint exploration operation to take everyone to explore this amazing treasure hidden by the Italians during World War II? ”
Ye Tian smiled and continued:
"Since we are partners and I am the leader of this joint exploration team, I naturally have to treat everyone in the team fairly to avoid any resentment among everyone.
As for the exploration of this treasure, it will start early tomorrow morning. At that time, I will lead the joint exploration team to the location of the treasure to explore this shocking treasure."
"Since it is a joint exploration operation, I hope that you will not act without authorization, and don't think of throwing us on that island and sweeping away this treasure by yourself!"
"You don't have to worry, Mustafa, we will never act without authorization and leave you to explore this treasure. That is not in line with our usual style of doing things, and we don't bother to do it.
As we all know, we still want to explore the legendary Solomon's Treasure and the Ark of the Covenant in Ethiopia, so we will naturally not do such a stupid thing that will cut off our retreat. I believe you all understand this.
What you should be worried about is how to control the spies among the exploration team and the military and police. If nothing goes wrong, those guys will take action tonight and even wait for an opportunity to abscond! ”
“I understand, Steven, I will pay attention to these issues and try to control the situation. This place is dozens of kilometers away from the shore, and it is impossible to leave without a boat!
When I return to the island later, I will explain the situation to everyone, and select some trustworthy military and police personnel to be on guard to prevent anyone from escaping under the cover of night! ”
“There is one more thing I want to remind you. According to reports from my security personnel, they found traces left by Nile crocodiles crawling on these small islands, and these traces are very fresh.
Although there are not many traces, it is enough to show that there may be Nile crocodiles on these islands. You must be more vigilant when you are resting. If you enter the water rashly, you may be killed by the crocodiles! ”
"Ah! This place is more than 30 kilometers away from the shore of Lake Tana. How could the Nile crocodile come to a place like this? It's incredible?"
Mustafa exclaimed, obviously frightened.
“This is far from the shore, but don’t forget that there are many small islands in Lake Tana, and most of them are deserted and home to countless waterbirds including pelicans.
More importantly, the water here is abundant all year round. For Nile crocodiles, these islands are their paradise. They can use these islands to migrate all the way! ”
Ye Tian smiled softly and explained a few words.
"This situation is so important. I will tell all members of the exploration team later that no one is allowed to enter the water at will. I believe no one wants to go into the lake to feed Nile crocodiles!
If the treasure hidden by the Italians sinks to the bottom of the lake, and there are a large number of Nile crocodiles in this water area, how can we carry out salvage work? Is it too dangerous? ”
"You don't have to worry about this. We have our own methods and have made corresponding preparations. A few Nile crocodiles can't stop us from uncovering this shocking treasure!"
"I hope so, it's best not to have any accidents!"
Mustafa nodded in response, but a hint of joy flashed deep in his eyes.
Next, the two of them discussed for a while.
During this process, Mustafa used a satellite phone to report the situation to the President of Ethiopia again.
When reporting, he only said that the exploration operation was proceeding smoothly and that the shocking treasure should be found tomorrow.
But he did not say the current location of the joint exploration team or the location of the treasure.
After making the call, Mustafa left on a speedboat and returned to the Ethiopian island in the lake.
After watching him leave, Ye Tian immediately said to Matisse beside him:
"Let the guys be on high alert, especially the guys on the boats. There might be Ethiopians taking the risk tonight to swim over and steal the boats, try to escape from here, and report the news to the outside world.
At the same time, we also want everyone to be careful about Nile crocodile attacks. Who knows whether those ferocious guys will sneak attacks at night. If you find a Nile crocodile coming ashore, everyone will immediately open fire and kill those guys."
"Understood, Steven, I will remind everyone to always be on guard. There seems to be no good swimmers among these Ethiopians, so the threat is not great!
Comparatively speaking, I was more worried about encountering Nile crocodiles, which have a notorious reputation. I thought I wouldn’t encounter Nile crocodiles during this trip to Africa, but I didn’t expect to encounter them here! ”
Mattis nodded in response, very confident.
Afterwards, Ye Tian gave a few more instructions and then walked towards the campsite.
Immediately afterwards, those medium-sized cruise ships sailed away from the island and headed for the third island in the lake five or six hundred meters away, preparing to anchor there for the night.
The location of these three small islands happens to be an irregular triangle, each occupying one corner.
If the weather is clear, standing on any of the islands, you can see the other two islands.
But at this time, it was foggy and pitch black. Each island seemed to be hanging alone in the lake, like an isolated island in the darkness.
Under this situation, it would be very difficult for anyone to swim to the other two islands at night.
If you are not careful, you will lose your way in the lake and swim to other places.
If you were wearing a life jacket, you might still have a chance to survive, but in the end you would be exhausted and could only float on the water.
Then he would also pray to God to protect him from the hungry Nile crocodile.
Otherwise, he would become a feast for the Nile crocodile.
If he doesn't wear a life jacket, he will die and no one can save him!
Seeing several medium-sized cruise ships leaving, even the employees and security personnel of Intrepid Exploration Company felt a little uneasy and worried!
Ye Tian looked at these guys, then smiled and said loudly:
"Don't worry, these medium-sized cruise ships and several other ships are moored around a nearby island, and every ship is under our control.
The reason why we let them leave is to reassure the Ethiopians and prevent them from worrying that we will leave them behind and explore this amazing treasure left over from World War II on our own.
Once something happens to us, all ships will rush to pick us up as soon as possible. In addition to these ships, I have also made some arrangements around Lake Tana.
So everyone can rest assured that there will be no problems here. After setting up camp, everyone can enjoy this unique night in the lake. I believe it will be a good experience! ”
Hearing this, everyone let out a sigh of relief and immediately relaxed.
Next, everyone got busy and set up camping tents one after another, preparing to camp on this small island.
While everyone was busy, Ye Tian left the camp.
He carried an assault rifle, the little guy White Elf, and two armed security team members, and walked around the island in the lake.
Everywhere he went, all the poisonous creatures hidden on this island were killed by that little white elf guy, and every one of them was wiped out!
Perhaps it was because the security team members at the front station made too much noise, and the many ships that followed made a lot of noise.
The Nile crocodiles that originally lived on this island have disappeared, leaving only traces of crawling across them.
Some of the traces look quite amazing!
The Nile crocodiles that left those traces are all over four meters in length and weigh more than 150 kilograms. They are very huge guys, and their attack power must be very powerful.
I just don’t know, where are those guys hiding now?
They may be hiding in the nearby lake, staring at these strange visitors on the island with cold eyes, waiting for opportunities to move!
There are also many waterbirds inhabiting this island, the most numerous of which are pelicans.
Because they were no threat, Ye Tian didn't do anything to them, and everyone lived in peace.
The only pity is that it is evening and we cannot enjoy these beautiful water birds.
While exploring the island, Ye Tian secretly turned on the perspective and thoroughly looked through the island below the ground and the surrounding waters.
Through perspective, he discovered some Nile crocodile nests, and saw some small crocodiles and countless fish swimming freely in the surrounding lake.
However, he did not see any adult Nile crocodile.
This result, instead of making him relax, made him more vigilant.
After roughly cleaning up the island, Ye Tian took the people back to the campsite and joined the bonfire party that had already begun!
Considering that there may be ferocious Nile crocodiles on the island, for safety reasons, the security team members who came here to set up their campsite set up their campsite at a relatively high place.
In this way, even if a Nile crocodile climbs ashore from the lake at night, it will not threaten everyone's safety for a while.
When those Nile crocodiles crawl to the campsite, the alarm devices set up around the campsite and the security personnel keeping watch will be enough to wake everyone up.
This is not only the case on this small island, but also on the small island not far away used by the Ethiopian exploration team.
Because it is far away from the lake shore and the lake is covered in fog.
Even if you hold a bonfire party on the island, you don’t have to worry about exposing your whereabouts!
If a Nile crocodile climbs onto the island, everyone can just open fire and kill those guys without worrying about exposing their whereabouts.
The sound of an assault rifle firing, or even the sound of an RPG rocket exploding, cannot travel that far.
When Ye Tian and the others returned to the campsite, the steak on the barbecue was just cooked and the aroma was permeating.
They quickly washed their hands, each picked up a piece of steak, and began to feast.
While Ye Tian was enjoying the food, David asked worriedly:
"Steven, I heard that there are Nile crocodiles on these small islands. Have you discovered it? Is it dangerous if we camp here?"
As David said this, several nearby exploration team members all looked over.
Without exception, everyone has a look of worry in their eyes.
In various movies, TV shows, and many exploration programs about Africa, the Nile crocodile is described as a very ferocious animal and the top predator.
Everyone has heard and seen a lot of legends and news about Nile crocodiles eating people.
Because of this, everyone is a little worried, which is normal.
Ye Tian glanced at these guys, then said with a smile:
"Yes, there are indeed traces of Nile crocodiles on these small islands. Judging from those traces, several Nile crocodiles are relatively large and their attack power must be amazing.
But don’t worry, our company’s security personnel will be able to protect everyone, and this camping site is located at a relatively high level, with many alarm devices set up around it.
Once a Nile crocodile climbs onto this island, the security personnel on guard will notice it immediately and wake everyone up. In this way, I believe there will be no danger! ”
Hearing this, everyone nodded and relaxed a little.
Next, everyone laughed and chatted while enjoying the food.
The only pity is that you can’t drink!
……
It was late at night and there was silence everywhere.
The surroundings are still foggy and the visibility is extremely poor. You can only see twenty or thirty meters at most.
"Hua Hua Hua"
The lake gently laps at the island in an endless stream.
In the woods and bushes on the island, there will be bursts of bird calls from time to time, but they are not very pleasant.
On the surrounding lake, fish kept jumping out of the water and then diving into the water again, adding a little noise to this silent night!
Most of the tents in the campsite have turned off their lights. Only a few tents used by security personnel to keep watch at night still have their lights on!
These camping tents are located in various locations on the island, facing different directions, monitoring the lake in different directions.
The seven or eight mosquito killer lamps set up around the camp have never been extinguished.
After a few hours, these mosquito killer lamps killed countless mosquitoes.
In the tray under each mosquito killer lamp, there are at least tens of thousands of mosquito corpses. They are so densely packed that it looks numb!
In a camping tent in the center of the camp, Ye Tian had already fallen asleep.
At this moment, the white elf who was coiled on the mountaineering bag suddenly raised his head and looked outside the tent.
Then, the little guy jumped off the mountaineering bag and landed directly on the sleeping bag, making a hissing sound.
Ye Tian reacted quickly and woke up instantly.
After waking up, he first glanced at the little white elf, then turned to look outside the tent and toward the dark lake.
The next moment, his expression suddenly changed and became quite solemn.
Without any hesitation, he immediately got out of the sleeping bag, quickly picked up the assault rifle placed aside, and then unzipped the tent door.
In the blink of an eye, he had walked out of the tent and stared at the lake not far below.
At this time, if someone stands on the shore and observes, they will see that there are many water lines extending towards the island.
"Mattis, let everyone prepare for battle. There are many Nile crocodiles swimming towards this island quickly. It looks like it will be a Nile crocodile night tonight!"
Ye Tian said through the wireless invisible headset, and raised the assault rifle and pointed it at the lake.
"Bang bang bang"
The ear-piercing gunfire suddenly rang out, instantly tearing the peaceful night apart.
With this sudden sound, everyone in the joint exploration team was suddenly awakened.
Of course, including the Ethiopians a few hundred meters away, as well as the security personnel guarding the fleet!
