I traverse America, using holy light to quell American terror!

Professor Mel's eyes lit up when he heard Michael's suggestion.

Even if, due to special circumstances, one is ultimately unable to enter this mysterious pyramid,

So using a Mars rover to go in and take some pictures is better than getting nothing at all!

With these photos, he could at least give some explanation to the financial backers who supported him.

Thinking of this, Professor Mel nodded with satisfaction and said to Michael:

"Michael, did you bring the stuff? We're short on time, we'd better get started as soon as possible!"

Hearing that Professor Mel had agreed with his idea,

Michael smiled and exchanged a glance with Nora, then nodded to Professor Mel in response:

"We've brought it; we can begin exploring anytime!"

Of all those involved, Nora was the most obsessed with the failure of this pyramid exploration.

She genuinely hoped to be able to explore this pyramid in person.

To fulfill his girlfriend's wish, Michael had no choice but to settle for second best.

Choosing a Mars rover for exploration was a way of fulfilling my girlfriend's wish, albeit somewhat reluctantly.

Of course, Professor Mel also knew that this was the result of Nora's insistence.

He first nodded to his daughter.

Then, with a smile, he greeted Evelyn:

"Let's go, Evelyn. It'll be a good opportunity for you, the expert, to take a look."

What secrets are hidden within the pyramids we've excavated?

"Great, Professor Mel, I'm really looking forward to it."

Evelyn smiled and nodded slightly to Professor Mel, expressing her gratitude.

The group followed Michael and quickly returned to the camp.

They then gathered inside the tent, watching Michael adjust the equipment.

The Mars rover has a camera function; the images captured through the rover's lens...

It will be simultaneously transmitted to the screen of the operating device.

This way, the cameras on the Mars rover can be used to view the inside of the pyramids.

As Michael adjusted the equipment, he demonstrated it to everyone:

"This Mars rover is very valuable; it was just completed."

You can't buy it on the market, even if you have the money.

It took me a lot of effort to borrow it from a friend.

Upon hearing this, Nora's face immediately lit up with a happy smile.

Her boyfriend made many sacrifices to support her career.

Jonathan and Rick, on the other hand, both curled their lip in disapproval.

I mentally muttered a few complaints, thinking that Michael was just bragging!

Professor Mel, being an elder, was still very grateful to Michael.

He said with a smile:

"Thank you so much for your help, Michael. I'll remember your kindness."

Michael burst out laughing upon hearing this:

"You're too kind, Professor Mel. It's nothing I should do."

As he spoke, he picked up the Mars rover and said to everyone with a smile:

"It's all set up, let's go try it out!"

At the entrance to the mysterious pyramid,

Michael, holding the Mars rover, gently placed it at the entrance.

"Woof woof woof—"

Just then, a sudden burst of frantic barking from wild dogs came from afar.

The wild dogs glared menacingly at the group of people in front of the pyramids.

It seems they want to drive them away from the pyramid area.

Evelyn and her two companions, who had been blessed by Li Yuan, looked at the pack of stray dogs with puzzled expressions.

A bad feeling crept into my heart.

Professor Mel noticed the expressions on Evelyn and the other two's faces, and then frowned as he explained:

"I don't know what's wrong with these wild dogs; they've been like this ever since we started digging."

Every time someone approaches the pyramids, they come over and bark loudly.

Rick turned to Jonathan and whispered:

"Could this be some kind of warning? There must be some significance to this kind of place, right?"

Jonathan gazed at the deep cave entrance and responded in a low voice:

"Perhaps. I looked into that cave and it seemed like something was watching me."

However, Professor Mel, who was extremely curious about this mysterious pyramid,

They paid no attention to the dogs' behavior, nor did they hear Rick and his companion's quiet whispers.

Instead, he turned to Michael and said:

"Michael, let's get started! I can't wait!"

Michael nodded, about to steer the rover into the cave.

Suddenly, an impatient shout came from behind:

"Hey! What are you doing? Didn't I tell you to get out of here?"

Everyone turned around and saw that the newcomer was a soldier with a gun.

Professor Mel's Arabic wasn't very good, so he could only look to Michael for help.

Seeing this, Mai quickly stood up and whispered to the soldier:

"Shadid, we just want to use the Mars rover to go inside the pyramids, take a few pictures, and bring them back."

Then, looking quite aggrieved, he said to Shadid:

"Shadid, if we don't bring anything back, the big spender won't be satisfied."

You at least need to let us take something back with us, something to show for it.

We hope you can understand us.

As he spoke, Michael casually slipped a wad of banknotes into Shadid's hand.

"Shadid, what you put in your own pocket is truly yours."

Shadid frowned upon hearing this, instinctively wanting to refuse.

But when he felt the thickness of the banknote, he decisively put it in his pocket.

He asked in a feigned, deep voice:

"Are you sure you're just going in to take a few photos?"

"It's really just taking a few photos! Why would I lie to you!"

Seeing Michael say this, Shadid nodded and said:

"That's possible, but I don't have time to wait for you. There are still only 24 hours!"

Seeing that Shadid had relented, Mai quickly smiled and said:

"No problem! 24 hours is enough!"

Shadid nodded impatiently, then addressed the crowd with a warning:

"You'd better not cause me any trouble!"

He then gave Professor Mel a deep look before turning and walking away quickly.

Evelyn and the other two were all fluent in Arabic, so they understood their conversation.

Watching Shadid's departing figure, Jonathan whispered to Rick:

Is the situation really that tense right now?

Rick chuckled and teased:

"How could that be? I bet they just used the protest as an excuse to drive the archaeological team away."

They can dig it themselves then, and whatever's inside will be theirs.

As he spoke, he raised an eyebrow and said sarcastically:

"Didn't you see Michael just slip him money?"

Upon hearing this, Jonathan chuckled softly.

Evelyn glanced at the two of them upon hearing this and whispered:

"They did nothing wrong, because the things originally belonged to them."

"You're right."

Rick and Jonathan shrugged and fell silent.

Meanwhile, Professor Mel, having calmed himself down,

Looking at Michael, he said very seriously:

"Let's begin, Michael."

Michael nodded and began using the controller to operate the Mars rover.

They slowly climbed into the pyramid, into its dark entrance.
