As the camel caravan got closer to the city wall, the city wall became clearer in Tom's eyes.

Although most of them are submerged in yellow sand, the magnificent scene of the city wall in the past can still be seen. There are at least two walls in the whole city. The outermost first wall is five meters high. There is a gentle **** behind the first city wall, and the second city wall is erected behind it. Counting the gentle slope, the second city wall may be as high as ten meters.

This is an astonishing number, and the walls of this city are not rammed earth walls, but piled up with huge stones of the same style as the pyramids. Made from such a strong material, it's no wonder it has survived thousands of years of wind and sand without falling over. Those collapsed places are the city gate openings left on the city wall. The wind poured in from there, causing this part of the stone to wear more severely than other places, accumulating over time, and finally collapsed completely.

When Tom rode a camel over the city wall, he noticed that the first wall alone was three meters thick, and the whole city could be said to be impenetrable.

After entering the city, everyone breathed a sigh of relief because of the protection of the strong city wall, feeling like they survived the catastrophe.

Most of the buildings in the city have already been buried by yellow sand. If there was no solid city wall, these ruins would have been buried by sand long ago. Most of the houses in the city that use wood as pillars have collapsed, and only the houses of masonry buildings can barely support them.

Tom looked around and finally chose a big house. Tom made a rough estimate, and the area of ​​this big room must have exceeded a thousand square meters. It was more of a warehouse than a big house, and Tom was sure it was a warehouse for important things. Because although it has collapsed and been buried by yellow sand, it can still be seen that this house has an outer wall, and the house itself is also a large round house made of accumulated stones.

The old man Yushadu stayed outside to settle the camels. If the camels ran away, the exploration team would have a lot of fun. Others rushed into the room first. The three students were slightly weak in physical strength, and the bumps of the day had already killed half of them. As soon as they entered the house, they sat down on the ground, took out the water bag and drank heavily—by the way, they poured water on their heads to wash away the sand and dust in their faces and nostrils. Dr. Hunter, who was relaxed, fell straight to the ground and passed out.

Only then did Dr. Hunter's students discover the teacher's anomaly.

"Doctor, what's wrong with you? Doctor!" Will threw the water bag aside, and immediately hugged his teacher. His voice attracted the military doctors in the team.

The military doctor briefly checked Dr. Hunter's physical condition, and found that he was only injured with a broken arm and loss of strength, and he was fine. So he gave the doctor an injection of anesthesia first, let him fall into a deep sleep, then fixed his arm, took out the medical kit, and put a plaster on him.

"How did you make it look like this?" Alyosha frowned and asked the team doctor. Dr. Hunter's injury will have a great negative impact on the team's exploration.

The team doctor shrugged his shoulders, "I accidentally bumped into something."

"As long as you don't have a fever at night, it's not a big problem." The doctor's diagnosis made the students put their hearts back in their stomachs. Will took out a blanket, spread it on the ground and put the teacher on it, letting him have a good rest.

After all this was done, everyone got a little respite, and the old man Ushatu outside the house also came in.

Tom also had time to take a serious look at the surroundings of the room.

With just a cursory glance, he verified his previous conjecture: this is an arsenal! It is the place where weapons are piled up inside the city. There are also a large number of weapons piled up on the floor of the house. The dry environment of the desert has allowed them to be well preserved until now. There are mainly daggers, spears, warhammers, and bows and arrows. Most of them are made of bone and stone, and some are bronze. In addition to weapons, there are almost completely rotten leather armor and leather shields.

Since it is an arsenal, there is a reasonable explanation for the independent outer wall and thick walls of this room: if there is a rebellion in the city, the guards stationed at the arsenal will rely on these advantages to guard against danger and wait for rescue.

Tom's eyes wandered, and finally landed on a strangely shaped warhammer. He also just glanced at it by accident, but soon noticed the abnormality. Tom looked at it carefully for a while, and found that this warhammer was actually a magic wand!

Although the structure is very rough and simple, it is indeed a magic wand, but it is very different from the current wand, and it is also made into the form of a war hammer: there is a copper hammer head at the end of the wand, and there are some little nails. Obviously, its previous owner was also a melee mage.

Others also recovered from the panic of the sandstorm, and they gradually realized that this is the ruins of an ancient city that no one has ever discovered! Thinking of this, everyone was refreshed.

Alyosha gathered some wreckage of weapons from the ground and was about to light a fire, but Will almost threw himself on the pile of logs.

"These are cultural relics! You can't touch them!"

Alyosha was a little puzzled: there are still a lot of rotten wood here, and using it to light the fire can just save the team's fuel consumption.

Fortunately, Sara and Alan were still sensible and pulled Will away. The things in this city can indeed be called cultural relics, but not every cultural relic has protection value. At least the rotten wood that can be seen everywhere can be burned as firewood.

After the fire was lit, everyone had a panoramic view of the situation in the house.

A pile of things in the corner of the room caught everyone's attention.

"Sleeping bag?" Allen walked over and said in amazement.

Before their eyes, there were six or seven empty sleeping bags, a pile of charcoal ashes and several backpacks, and the lunch box next to the charcoal ashes contained leftovers that had dried long ago.

"It seems that an expedition team once came here." Alyosha walked to Alan's side, glanced at the things left on the ground, and made a conclusion.

"But one thing is very suspicious~lightnovelpub.net~ They seem to have left in a hurry," he squatted beside these items, rummaged through the backpack, took out a military water bottle from it, unscrewed it, and it contained full of water,

"Without guns and supplies, where can people go in such a state?" Alyosha whispered, as if he was talking to his companions, or talking to himself.

Commander Egor pointed to the sleeping bag and said in Russian: "Captain, look, the zipper of the sleeping bag is not even unzipped, which is really strange."

Alyosha was silent for a while, and continued to search among the remaining items, and finally found a notebook.

"Look at it." He handed the note to Peter, who quickly flipped through it.

"This is an adventurer from the United States. According to the time in the notes, his team should have entered the desert 19 years ago and wanted to challenge the world record for the fastest crossing of the Sahara Desert," Peter glanced at the notes. "He was a little luckier than us, they didn't encounter a sandstorm, they just discovered this place by accident."
