The Big Shot at the Foot of Mount Longhu

The news of the subspace fluctuations at the Sahura Pyramid has already spread on the Esper World Forum.

Therefore, many strange people headed to Cairo.

Egyptian authorities evacuated residents near Abusir to stabilize the area. There weren't many people there, saving the authorities considerable trouble. The once barren and vast sandy land was now dotted with colorful tents, creating a scene reminiscent of the desolate desert landscape.

This reminded Li Yao of Black Rock City, Nevada, in the American Federation.

—A fictional city that exists for only eight days each year.

People from all over the world gathered in the Nevada desert, bringing food and water, as well as things they wanted to show off, and spent eight days indulging in unbridled revelry.

When the time comes, they clean up their own trash and drive away, leaving behind a still desolate and empty desert.

The city and the Burning Man Festival that created it are themselves imbued with nihilism and absurdity.

Every time a holiday ends, I feel an extremely strong sense of disillusionment on the way home, as if life is like a desolate city in the desert, seemingly Fan Hua but unable to withstand a gust of wind.

Now,

This place has a similar feel to the Burning Man Festival in Black Rock City.

The Abusir desert is now home to thousands of people from all over the world, dressed in various styles and with different skin and hair colors, making it a microcosm of the world's races and cultures.

Li Yao and Wang Xueyi also disguised themselves to blend into the crowd.

Wang Xueyi and his group disguised themselves as Japanese islanders, using language and samurai swords as their main disguise tools. Li Yao, on the other hand, was more sophisticated... he had Shapeshifter Mask and simply transformed into a chestnut-haired, blue-eyed Caucasian.

They were not particularly noticeable as they blended into the crowd.

Wang Xueyi, meanwhile, kept observing the crowd gathered there.

Seeing this, Li Yao asked what was wrong.

However, Wang Xueyi did not answer Li Yao's question, but instead picked up his phone to send a message.

soon,

Li Yao's phone also vibrated; the "Online Staff Officer" app had sent him a notification.

Chief of Staff of the East China-Jiangsu-Zhejiang Region: "Who the hell sent Chen Tienan to Egypt? What's with this? He's just trying to cause me trouble!"

This must be Wang Xueyi, right? In the Online Staff Officer group, most people use their job titles as their nicknames.

Most people in the group don't really know their colleagues.

This ensures the maximum secrecy surrounding the issuance of military orders.

This is somewhat similar to the prosecutor system in Korea:

Each prosecutor is an independent investigation and evidence-gathering team. Their investigations cannot be arbitrarily cancelled even by their superiors, and the decision to proceed with a case rests entirely with the prosecutor in charge. Even the police system is subject to the orders of the prosecutors.

The Wallfacers ' Staff Department could not directly command those in the military and political departments or the military equipment departments.

But they have their own affiliated military forces! Li Yao stared at his phone and soon saw someone reply in the group.

Deputy Chief of Staff of the East China-Fujian-Jiangxi Military Region: "Chen Tienan? That guy's on vacation..."

So you came here on your own? Wang Xueyi gritted his teeth in anger, almost breaking his phone in his hand.

Li Yao chuckled. This period has been quite bizarre! First, he learned that there were traitors among the Wallfacers, and now it seems there's factional infighting? So he asked, "Do you have a grudge against that Chen Tienan? Or is it that your departments are in different competition?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xueyi immediately understood what Li Yao meant, so he explained, "Although there is factional competition among the Wallfacers, it is healthy, and everyone is very restrained. I just have a problem with Chen Tienan!"

After a pause, Wang Xueyi said angrily, "That guy is a piece of meat that's been marinated to the bone!"

This stuff is so tough it can't be cut, cooked, or mashed; it's so cloying it'll make anyone sick of chewing it!

Li Yao: "..."

For some reason, Li Yao suddenly became somewhat interested in this guy.

He pressed further, "Tell me about this person?"

Wang Xueyi burst into the tent and said, "This guy was originally Shaolin disciple with extremely high martial arts talent. Later, he couldn't stand the rules and regulations and ran away. He heard that the Daoist priests of Dragon Tiger Mountain could eat meat, drink alcohol, and get married, so he ran over there. Who knew they didn't want him at all! So he shamelessly stayed at the foot of Dragon Tiger Mountain and wouldn't leave, calling himself the Local Boss of Dragon Tiger Mountain..."

Etc!

Li Yao suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Why does this title sound so familiar? He took out his phone and opened the ""Get Rich" Group, and sure enough, he found " The Local Boss of Dragon Tiger Mountain " in it.

Li Yao: "..."

Wang Xueyi was still grumbling. "That guy is a notorious tough nut to crack, his martial arts skills are extremely impressive, he's ruthless, arrogant, and greedy! He's definitely trying to make a quick buck here!"

Oh shit!

He looked at Li Yao: "We might be able to ruin our plan this time! Or else..."

Wang Xueyi's eyes turned cold. "Let's just let him sacrifice himself here!"

He simply refused to believe it.

"Is there anyone in my Staff Department who can't be killed?" Li Yao was startled by Wang Xueyi. After observing him closely, he realized that this guy wasn't joking!

He couldn't help but mourn for that Local Boss of Dragon Tiger Mountain... This subspace ruins hadn't even started yet, and he was already going to be "sacrificed".

But at least they're in my own group, so we still have some connection.

The key is that he has a relationship with Boss Zhou Li, and should also be a key member of Old Man Lu's faction.

It's clearly inappropriate to sacrifice them like this.

So Li Yao advised, "Young people shouldn't be so aggressive."

Wang Xueyi: "???"

What's with you acting so old-fashioned? I remember being older than you!

Li Yao continued, "I think this person can still be saved. Wait a minute."

After saying that,

Li Yao tagged Chen Tienan in the ""Get Rich" Group: "@The Local Boss of Dragon Tiger Mountain, come out quickly, I need to talk to you!"

After a while, Chen Tienan replied in the group, "Hey, hey, what's up? Are you going to make us rich again this time?"

Chen Tienan's tone was very warm!

Li Yao: "Are you in Egypt?"

The Local Boss of Dragon Tiger Mountain: "How did you know?"

He suddenly realized. "You're here too? Hey, where have you been? I've come looking for you! This powerful alliance of ours is sure to make us rich! Let me tell you, those bastards in the Egyptian Dynasty are all fucking rolling in money!"

I am Yunqi: "Corpse oil?"

From China With Love: "I want to get a massage~~"

The Local Boss of Dragon Tiger Mountain: "Get out of here! We're talking about serious matters of making money!"

Boss Zhou: "What do you mean by getting rich? What kind of riches? I don't know anything about getting rich!?"

After reading the previous message, Zhou Li sent another message: "Holy crap, Boss Li, you went to Egypt??? Why didn't you take me with you! I want to go too! I'm going to order wood right now..."

Qi Qi: "No, he doesn't want to go."

Everyone: "..."

For no apparent reason, a chilling murderous intent emanated from the group chat.

The once lively group chat instantly went quiet.

Li Yao broke the silence with a message: "Yeah, I'm in Egypt too, but it's hard to meet up with you guys if I'm hiding in the crowd. I hope you can cooperate with me this time."
