1150 Big Pyramid (1/2)

Wei Kang told Zhang Zian his plans. Although Zhang Zian felt they were quite unstable, he could not find any serious problems. After all, Wei Kang was not on his first field trip. He had accumulated a lot of experience in the biological examination of deep mountains, forest, swamps, and the Gobi Desert in their home country and abroad. At least, he had much more experience than Zhang Zian did. No matter in theory or practice, it was not his place to pick at Wei Kang's plan.

What's more, the operation not only had high-tech equipment but also had elfins following, especially Fina, an Aboriginal who had once roamed the black and red lands. They would certainly not stand idly by at critical moments... Probably.

After finishing the discussion, Wei Kang took his laptop and printed out the document, following his students to Cairo University to do a cultural and educational presentation.

Zhang Zian had nothing to do at that moment, and he could not waste time for no reason, so he followed his original plan to bring the elfins to visit the pyramids.

If they could only visit only one tourist spot in Egypt, 99% of people would choose the pyramid. If one came to Egypt but didn't go to the pyramid and take a few selfies, they would be embarrassed to tell others that they had been to Egypt when they returned to their country.

Apart from Fina's lack of interest because of the destruction of the pyramid, other elfins were eager to witness one of the seven wonders of the world, the man-made buildings that had held the world's highest height for 4,000 years before the Eiffel Tower was built.

Zhang Zian went out to buy food and brought it back, and when the elfins were done eating and drinking, they got ready to set off.

Keeping the elfins in his phone that should've been in his phone, and turning those invisible that should've been invisible, they left the hotel and sat on the taxi.

There was also a brief episode when they left the hotel. A couple from the West were also staying in the hotel. Today, they'd wanted to take UAVs outside for aerial photography, but they had been stopped by the lobby manager on duty. They'd told them that UAVs were contraband in Cairo because of the severe anti-terrorism situation. If they were seen by the police, they would probably be detained with the UAVs. If they wanted to play with UAVs, they could only go to the wild or less populated areas.

The Western couple felt that it was a pity. Zhang Zian also felt that it was a pity because he had been considering using aerial photography to take photos of the pyramid. After all, the feeling of having new toys at hand, yet not being able to play... It was not good.

The temperature seemed to be several degrees higher than it had been yesterday. It was said that the temperature could reach nearly 50 degrees Celsius at noon in midsummer. It was really hot.

He did not know if it was because Ramadan was approaching, but he felt that there were fewer pedestrians on the street today compared to yesterday, and the traffic was not so bad.

The hotel was not far from the pyramid, as the distance was less than 10 kilometers as the bird flew. Besides, there were no tall buildings around it. You could see the ancient buildings in the shapes of tetrahedrons from very far away.

Reaching the bottom of the pyramid, Zhang Zian spent five minutes haggling with the driver about the price. After all, he had a lot of time, but he was spending more and more money so that he had less and less of it left.

As this was an international tourist resort, the local people who were basically related to the tourism industry could speak English. Although their level was about the level of junior high school in China and the accent was strange, simple communication or bargaining was not a problem.

”These are the pyramids…”

They had not felt very much when they'd driven over to this side in the taxi, but standing close by, every elfin except Fina was deeply shocked, even Zhang Zian, who thought he had seen a lot of things and was knowledgeable.

The giant pyramids stood proudly above the wilderness. To the East was Cairo, a prosperous city with a huge gap between rich and poor, and to the west was the Sahara Desert. It had witnessed the rise and fall of ancient Egypt, the invasion from the East and the northern foreigners, the process of desertification in Egypt, and the turmoil in Egypt today... It would continue to witness everything and laugh and look at the scenery until the end of time.

Just like that ancient saying in Egypt: Humans feared time, but time feared the pyramids

The wind blew up the yellow sand nearby, a desolation that was eternally unchanging.
