Ancient Egypt, one of the four ancient civilizations.
It is located in northeastern Africa, in the middle and lower reaches of the Nile River, which is now the Middle East.
Regarding this place, it can be summarized as "one ancestor, two nations, three diasporas, and four wars".
Because of its special geographical location, it is a transportation hub between the East and the West.
Coupled with religious and cultural differences, this area has been in a state of chaos all year round.
Of course, there are also reasons for interference and intervention by major powers.
Most people's impression of Ancient Egypt may be of the dark and simple temple buildings, the majestic pyramids, and the mysterious Sphinx.
In fact, in addition to the above, the earliest Mutants organization also appeared here.
Compared with Europe and North America, the Middle East, where three religions and nine streams live in mixed groups, is actually more convenient to hide oneself, and suffers less rejection and persecution.
In addition, the oldest Mutants Apocalypse on earth was born Ancient Egypt.
After he became the distinguished Pharaoh, he transformed all the loyal guards around him into Mutants.
Later, Apocalypse fell into a deep sleep and was gradually forgotten by people.
But those transformed Mutants continued to develop their compatriots and grow in power.
In the Middle East, every warlord or religious leader with some strength.
More or less, they all have a few Mutants as secret weapons.
Set the time back twenty minutes.
Outside the pyramid.
The endless yellow sand desert.
A team of people is actively carrying out excavation work.
Judging from their attire, they look like caravans walking in the desert.
But judging from their behavior, they look more like a group of tomb robbers.
The pyramid is the tomb of King Ancient Egypt, and these rulers were called "Pharaoh" in history.
Due to the profound influence of religious culture, Ancient Egypt people have formed a deep-rooted "Afterlife concept."
They believe that the earthly world is only a temporary residence, and they can only get Eternity after death.
Therefore, every Ancient Egypt person, especially the aristocratic class.
They will carefully prepare their tombs in order to obtain eternal life after death.
The mausoleum pyramid of Pharaoh, which means "ladder to the sky", is naturally more majestic and shows magnanimity.
When they die, various precious jewelry and antiques will be used as burial objects.
Those rulers enjoyed great honors during their lifetimes, and after death they longed to bring power and glory to the underworld.
But they didn't know that using a majestic building like a pyramid as a mausoleum would not only show their strength and majesty, but also attract an endless stream of tomb robbers.
For example, now.
"Are you sure this is here?"
A rugged man with a beard asked with a frown.
"What I'm looking for is the tomb of Pharaoh, just like the ancient tomb of Tutankhamun. It can make us a lot of money!"
Tutankhamun is also a Pharaoh in Egypt. His tomb is located at Valley of the Kings and was later discovered by a British archaeologist.
The funerary items inside are priceless. Just the gold mask weighing ten kilograms and inlaid with various gemstones can be auctioned for a sky-high price.
According to statistics, the museum has valued some of the unearthed antiques and gold at as high as 650 million pounds.
This is an astronomical amount of money, enough to make anyone crazy.
Since the Tutankhamun mausoleum was discovered, all the archaeologists involved in the development work have become rich overnight, attracting countless envious eyes.
Correspondingly, Valley of the Kings, which was specially used to bury Pharaoh and his concubine, is also full of potholes.
Every place where treasures might be buried has been enthusiastically visited by tomb robbers.
"Caliban can't lie. I can feel that there is a pyramid underneath. It has not been discovered yet and is buried underground."
A bald man who seemed to have albinism said in a positive tone.
His name is Caliban, which is Alpha-Level Mutant.
It has extremely excellent perception ability. It can not only detect nearby compatriots, but also detect terrain. It can be called a humanoid radar.
"Hope you're not going wrong."
The bearded man said with a warning.
The "archaeological work" of Ancient Egypt is one of the hottest investments in recent years.
Many wealthy nobles like to find a few archaeologists, and then give money and people to search for the tomb of Pharaoh.
As long as you succeed once, the rewards will be extremely generous.
Just like the great sailing movement that was once popular, royal nobles sponsored navigators who discovered new lands and brought back gold and spices.
"Caliban can do no wrong."
The bald man seemed to be afraid of the sun and covered himself with a hood.
He is the most famous black marketeer and intelligence broker in the Middle East.
As Mutants, not only was I not discriminated against, I was also able to live a prosperous life.
"Just dig in, you'll definitely get a surprise."
Caliban was hiding in the shadows. In his perception, there was a magnificent pyramid underground.
Judging from the specifications and scale, it is definitely not much worse than the mausoleum of Tutankhamun.
The deal between him and Beard is that as long as he finds the other party a pyramid tomb that has not been visited by tomb robbers.
You can get a generous reward and the protection of private armed forces.
Bearded is a big warlord in the Middle East, and the origin of the employer behind him is even more mysterious.
Belongs to the person Caliban cannot offend.
"Found it!"
Someone dug the entrance to the pyramid.
"It's sealed inside and can only be opened with explosives!"
When the bearded man heard that the entrance was sealed, there was a hint of joy in his eyes.
This means that it has not been visited by tomb robbers, and it is a intact mausoleum like virgin land.
"Blow it up! Blow it up for me!"
Bearded shouted.
He was employed by an organization in the United Kingdom that specialized in searching for ancient ruins, such as pyramids, Pharaoh coffins, and the like.
Some rich and powerful British people seem to be very interested in mysterious powers.
Every time there is news in this regard, they will take the initiative to contact themselves and provide a large amount of manpower and material resources.
"Well done, Caliban! You are indeed of some use."
The bearded man was very satisfied and did not hesitate to praise him.
Soon, the explosives were deployed.
Boom boom! Boom boom boom!
A huge sound wave erupted, shaking the gravel on the ground.
The entrance to the interior of the pyramid is now open.
"Send a team of people in first! Check the situation!"
The bearded man commanded.
In order to prevent tomb robbers from destroying the tomb and disturbing Pharaoh's sleep.
Some pyramids will be designed with various mechanisms at the beginning of their construction.
When those uninvited guests died, there were also stories of "Pharaoh's Curse", "Entangled Wraith" and other Shocker stories.
"If you can find some good things, the British will be more generous."
The bearded man was having a sweet dream. If a local warlord like him licked the British, he might have better development in the future.
"Wait..."
A few minutes later, Caliban's expression changed slightly as he was hiding in the shadow, as if he sensed something.
There was a hint of panic in his eyes. He quickly ran to Bearded's side.
Ignoring the scorching sunlight, he said urgently, "Get out quickly! There... is someone inside!"
Anyone?
The pyramid is the mausoleum of Pharaoh. Besides mummies, what else can be found inside?
The bearded question was still stuck in his throat, and the ground shook suddenly, far more than the movement caused by the explosives.
The gravel is like flowing water, constantly rolling, forming turbulent whirlpools of different sizes.
Boom!
The pyramid buried underground rose suddenly.
The terrifying pressure flowed down like a waterfall, suffocating everyone present.
The majestic pyramid rises from the ground, revealing its true appearance.
Immediately afterwards, a tall figure wearing metal armor walked out with dignity.
"Could it be...Apocalypse?"
Caliban shivered. In his perception, the tall figure was like a huge mountain range, making people breathless.
The energy rays radiate out, forming substantial high-temperature heat.
It's just like the sun god in Ancient Egypt mythology, which makes people want to kneel down and worship.
Caliban immediately thought of the legendary Apocalypse, the oldest Mutants on earth.
Apart from the other party, he could not think of another Mutants who could possess such a terrifying aura.
"But, why... there is another one?"
Caliban, trembling all over, slowly knelt down.
The shock in his heart had not yet subsided, but he sensed a powerful presence again.
That man exuded energy that was not much worse than Apocalypse, and was as majestic as an erupting volcano.
Suddenly, two suns seemed to appear in the sky.
