Chapter 3049 The Night of the Nile Crocodile(1/2)
All members of the Ethiopian exploration team and several senior officials, as well as numerous fully armed Ethiopian military and police, were placed on the first small island in the lake.
Some of the supplies were also put down together, mainly food and fresh water, as well as some outdoor camping equipment.
On this small island, Ye Tian's security personnel opened up a safe camping site early and prepared many camping tents.
With these supplies and equipment, Ethiopians have no problem living on this small island for several days, not to mention that they can fish at any time and treat it as fresh meat.
After putting down most of the Ethiopians, the Joint Exploration Fleet left the island and headed towards another small island in the lake hundreds of meters away.
In a short while, a few cruise ships arrived at the island.
The scene that just happened is happening again!
Several fully armed security team members welcomed the arrival of the joint exploration team on this small island in the lake.
Like the small island in the lake before, they also opened up a flat camp 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 carried their respective luggage, some exploration equipment, as well as a large number of weapons and ammunition to board the island.
Mustafa, who followed, also got off the boat and walked onto the island, checking the situation here.
The situation and conditions on this small island are basically no different from the kind of small island where the Ethiopian exploration team is located.
Seeing this scene, Mustafa had nothing to say.
After roughly checking the situation on the island, he came to Ye Tian and whispered:
"Okay, Steven, that's what it is tonight. Your arrangements look pretty good, just like you said, quite fair, and did not treat both sides differently.
What I care about now is when will you launch a joint exploration operation and take you to explore this shocking treasure hidden by the Italians during World War II?"
Ye Tian smiled and continued:
"Since we are the partner and I am the leader of this joint exploration team, we must treat everyone in the team fairly so as not to make everyone feel irresistible.
As for the action to explore this treasure, it will be launched 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 do not act without authorization, do not think about throwing us on that small island, and sweep this treasure all by yourself!"
"You don't have to worry, Mustafa, we will never act without permission. Let you go and explore this treasure. It is not in line with our usual style of conduct, and we don't want to do it.
As we all know, we will also explore the legendary treasure of Solomon and the Ark of the Covenant in Ethiopia, and we will naturally not do such stupid things that will cut off our backs. I believe you all understand this.
What you should worry about is how to control the eyeliners of all parties involved in the exploration team and the military and police. If nothing unexpected happens, those guys will take action tonight, or even wait for an opportunity to escape!”
"I know, Steven, I will pay attention to these issues and try to control the situation. It is dozens of kilometers away from the shore and I cannot leave without a ship!
After returning to that small island later, I will explain these situations to everyone and select some trustworthy military and police personnel to be on guard to prevent anyone from escaping in the dark!"
"There is another thing I want to remind you. According to the security personnel under my command, they found traces of the crawling Nile crocodile 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 small islands. You must be more vigilant when you rest. If you go into the water rashly, you may be killed by the crocodile!"
"Ah! It's more than thirty kilometers away from the shore of Lake Tana. How could the Nile Crocodile run to such a place? It's incredible?"
Mustafa exclaimed, obviously scared.
“It’s very far from the shore, but don’t forget that there are many small islands in Lake Tana, and most of them are deserted and are home to countless water birds, including pelicans.
More importantly, the water here is abundant all year round. For Nile crocodiles, these small islands are their paradise. They can use these small islands to migrate all the way!"
Ye Tian laughed softly and explained a few words.
"This situation is so important. I will tell all members of the exploration team that no one is allowed to go into the water at will. I believe no one wants to go down the lake to feed the Nile crocodile!
If the treasure hidden by the Italians is sinking at the bottom of the lake and there are a large number of Nile crocodiles in this area of water, how can we start salvage work? Isn’t it too dangerous?”
"You don't have to worry about this. We have our own solutions and have made corresponding preparations. Some Nile crocodiles cannot stop us from setting up this shocking treasure!"
"I hope so, it's better not to have any accidents!"
Mustafa nodded and responded, but a trace of joy flashed deep in his eyes.
Next, the two of them discussed for a while.
During this process, Mustafa used satellite phones to report the situation to the Ethiopian president again.
When reporting, he only said that the exploration was going on smoothly and that the shocking treasure should be found tomorrow.
But he did not say where the Joint Exploration Team is currently located, and where the treasure is located.
After making the phone call, Mustafa took a speedboat and returned to the small island in the lake of the Ethiopians.
After watching him leave, Ye Tian immediately said to Mattis beside him:
"Make the guys more alert, especially the guys on several ships are on high alert. Tonight, Ethiopians may venture to swim over and steal the boat, trying to escape from here and inform the outside world.
At the same time, we must also make everyone beware of the attacks of the Nile Crocodile. Who knows whether those vicious guys will sneak attack in the dark? If you find that Nile Crocodile is on the shore, everyone will immediately open fire and kill those guys."
"I understand, Steven, I will remind everyone to keep everyone on guard. Among these Ethiopians, there seems to be no swimmers, so there is no big threat!
In comparison, I was more worried about meeting the Nile Crocodile. That thing is famous. I thought I wouldn't be able to meet the Nile Crocodile during this trip to Africa, but I didn't expect to meet it here!"
Mattis nodded and responded, very confident.
Then, Ye Tian gave a few more instructions and walked towards the campsite.
Immediately afterwards, the medium-sized cruise ships left the island and headed towards the third small island in the lake five or six hundred meters away, preparing to park there for the night.
The location of these three islands happens to be an irregular triangle, each with a corner.
If the weather is good, standing on any of the small islands, you can see the situation on the other two small islands.
But at this time, the fog was misty and pitch black. Each island seemed to be hanging alone in this lake, and it was like an isolated island in the dark.
In this case, it becomes very difficult for anyone to swim to two other islands while the night is sunny.
If you are not careful, you will lose your direction in the lake and swim to other places.
If you wear a life jacket, there is still a glimmer of hope. In the end, you can only float on the water because of exhaustion.
Then he also prays that God will not encounter the hungry Nile crocodile.
Otherwise, he would become a Nile crocodile's meal.
If you don’t wear a life jacket, there will be only a dead end and no one can save him!
Seeing several medium-sized cruise ships leave, even the employees and security personnel of the Brave Fearless Exploration Company were a little nervous and worried!
Ye Tian looked at these guys, then smiled and said aloud:
"Don't worry, these medium-sized cruise ships, and several other ships, are anchored around a nearby island, and each ship is under our control.
The reason why they were allowed to leave was to reassure the Ethiopians so that they would not worry. We would throw them away and explore this shocking treasure left over from World War II alone.
Once something happens to us, all the ships will come to pick us up and leave 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 the camping is completed, everyone can enjoy this unique lake night. I believe it will be a good experience!”
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and immediately relaxed.
Next, everyone became busy, set up camping tents and prepared to camp on this small island.
Just when everyone was busy, Ye Tian left the camping site.
He carried the assault rifle, the little guy, the white elf, and two armed security team members, and walked the small island in the lake.
Wherever I went, all the poisonous creatures hidden on this small island were killed by the little white elf, and they were all in decline!
Perhaps it was because the security team members at the station before the fight made too much noise, and the many ships later made a lot of noise.
The Nile crocodiles that originally lived on this small island have disappeared, leaving only traces of crawling.
There are a few traces in it that look quite amazing!
The Nile Crocodile that left those traces were more than four meters long and weighed more than 150 kilograms. They were all very huge guys and their attack power must be very strong.
I just don’t know where those guys are hiding now?
They may be hiding in the nearby lake, staring at these strange visitors on the island with cold eyes, waiting for an opportunity to move!
There are many water birds living on this small island, and the largest number is pelicans.
Because they were not threatening, Ye Tian did not attack them and everyone lived in peace.
The only shame is that it is night now and I can’t appreciate these beautiful water birds.
While exploring this island, Ye Tian secretly opened his perspective and completely looked through the ground below the island and the surrounding waters.
Through perspective, he discovered some Nile crocodile nests, saw some small crocodiles and countless fish swimming freely in the surrounding lake.
However, he did not see any adult Nile crocodile.
This result not only did not relax him, but instead made him more alert.
After roughly cleaning up the island, Ye Tian took people back to the campsite and joined the bonfire party that had already begun!
Considering that there may be vicious Nile crocodiles on the island, for safety reasons, the security team members who came here to fight the front station set up the camping site in a relatively high place.
In this way, even if the Nile crocodile takes advantage of the night to climb ashore from the lake, it will not threaten everyone's safety for a while.
When the Nile crocodiles crawl to the campsite, the alarm devices set up around the campsite and the security guards who watch the night are enough to wake everyone up.
Not only this is the case on this island, but also the same is true for the small island not far away that was used by the Ethiopian exploration team.
