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 intervention by major powers.

Most people's impressions of ancient Egypt may be of dark and simple temple buildings, majestic pyramids, and the mysterious Sphinx.

In fact, in addition to the above, the earliest mutant organizations also appeared here.

Compared with Europe, North America, and the Middle East, where three religions and nine streams live in mixed groups, it is actually easier to hide oneself, and there are fewer rejections and persecutions.

In addition, Apocalypse, the oldest mutant on earth, was born in ancient Egypt.

After he became the noble Pharaoh, he transformed all the loyal guards around him into mutants.

Later Tianqi fell into a deep sleep and was gradually forgotten by people.

But those transformed mutants continue to develop their compatriots and grow in power.

In the Middle East, every warlord or religious leader with some strength.

More or less, they 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 a caravan walking in the desert.

But judging from their behavior, they look more like a group of tomb robbers.

The pyramids were the tombs of ancient Egyptian kings, who were known as "Pharaohs" in history.

Due to the profound influence of religious culture, the ancient Egyptians formed a deep-rooted "concept of the afterlife."

They believe that the earth is only a temporary residence, and eternity can be found after death.

Therefore, every ancient Egyptian, especially the noble class.

They will carefully prepare their own tombs in order to obtain eternal life after death.

The Pyramid, the Pharaoh's mausoleum, means "ladder to the sky", so it 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 still aspired to bring power and glory to the underworld.

But they don't know that using a majestic building like a pyramid as a mausoleum can not only show its own 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 pharaoh's tomb, like Tutankhamen's tomb, which can make us a lot of money!"

Tutankhamun was also an Egyptian pharaoh. His tomb was located in the 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 sum, enough to make anyone crazy.

Since the discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb, the archaeologists involved in the development work have all become rich overnight, attracting countless envious glances.

Correspondingly, the Valley of the Kings, which is dedicated to the burial of pharaohs and their concubines, is also full of potholes.

Every place where treasures may be buried has been enthusiastically visited by tomb robbers.

"Caliban can't lie. I can feel that there is a pyramid under here. It has not been discovered yet and is buried underground."

A bald man who looked like he had albinism said in a positive tone.

His name is Caliban, and he is an 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.

"Archaeological work" on ancient Egypt has been one of the hottest investments in recent years.

Many wealthy nobles like to find a few archaeologists, and then give money to people to search for the tombs of pharaohs.

As long as you succeed once, the rewards you get 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 a mutant, not only was he not discriminated against, he was also able to live happily.

“Just dig deeper, you’ll definitely get a surprise.”

Caliban was hiding in the shadows, and in his perception, there was a magnificent pyramid underground.

Judging from the specifications and scale, it is definitely not much worse than Tutankhamun’s tomb.

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 a private army.

Bearded is a major warlord in the Middle East, and the origins of his employer are even more mysterious.

He is someone 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 yelled.

He was employed by a British organization that specialized in searching for ancient ruins, such as pyramids and pharaoh's coffins.

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 the 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", "Haunting Ghosts" and other scary stories.

"If we can find some good things, the British will be more generous."

The bearded man is having a sweet dream. If a local warlord like him licks the British, he may have better development in the future.

"etc……"

A few minutes later, Caliban's expression changed slightly as he was hiding in the shadows, as if he sensed something.

There was a hint of panic in his eyes, and he quickly ran to Bearded's side.

Ignoring the scorching sunlight, he said urgently: "Get out quickly! There's... someone inside!"

Anyone?

The pyramid is the tomb of the Pharaoh. Besides mummies, what else can be found inside?

Bearded's question was still stuck in his throat, and the ground shook suddenly, far greater 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, making everyone present feel suffocated.

The magnificent pyramid rises from the ground, revealing its true face.

Immediately afterwards, a tall figure wearing metal armor walked out with dignity.

"Is it...the apocalypse?"

Caliban was trembling. 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.

Just like the sun god in ancient Egyptian mythology, people can't help but want to kneel down and worship.

Caliban immediately thought of Apocalypse, the oldest mutant on earth who only existed in legend.

Apart from the other party, he couldn't think of any other mutant who could possess such a terrifying aura.

"But, why...there is another one?"

Caliban slowly knelt down, trembling all over.

The shock in my heart has not yet subsided, but I sensed a powerful presence again.

That man exuded a light of 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.
