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 summed up as "one ancestor, two ethnic groups, three diaspora, 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 is in a state of chaos all the year round.

Of course, there are also reasons for great powers to interfere and intervene.

Most people's impression of ancient Egypt may be dark and simple temple buildings, magnificent pyramids, and mysterious sphinxes.

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

Compared with Europe and North America, the Middle East, where the three religions and nine classes live in a mixed society, is actually more convenient to hide, and suffers from exclusion and persecution, and it is also less.

Plus, Apocalypse, the oldest mutant on Earth, was born in ancient Egypt.

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

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

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

In the Middle East, every powerful warlord or religious leader.

More or less, they all have a few mutants as secret weapons.

Rewind the time to twenty minutes ago.

outside the pyramid.

The endless yellow sand desert.

A team of people is actively carrying out excavation work.

Looking at their dress, they look like caravans walking in the desert.

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

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

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

They believe that the earth is only a temporary dwelling, and that eternity comes after death.

Therefore, every ancient Egyptian, especially the noble class.

They will carefully prepare their graves in order to gain eternal life after death.

The Pharaoh's tomb pyramid, which means "the ladder to the sky", is naturally more magnificent and shows bearing.

When they die, they will use various precious jewelry and antiques as funeral objects.

Those rulers enjoyed honor in life, and after death they longed to bring power and glory to the underworld.

It's just that they don't know that using a grand building like the pyramid as a mausoleum can not only show its own power and majesty, but also attract an endless stream of tomb robbers.

For example, now.

"Are you sure it's here?"

A burly man with a beard asked with a frown.

"What I'm looking for is the tomb of the pharaoh, like Tutankhamun's tomb, which can make us a lot of money!"

Tutankhamun was also a pharaoh of Egypt, and his tomb in the Valley of the Kings was later discovered by a British archaeologist.

The burial items inside are priceless, just the ten kilograms of gold masks inlaid with various gems can be auctioned for sky-high prices.

According to statistics, the museum has estimated some of the antiques and gold excavated, which can be as high as 650 million pounds.

That's an astronomical sum, enough to drive anyone crazy.

Since the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb, the archaeologists who participated in the development work have all become rich overnight, attracting countless envious eyes.

Correspondingly, the Valley of the Kings, which was specially used to bury the pharaoh and his concubines, was also full of pits.

Tomb robbers have enthusiastically visited every place where treasures may be buried.

"Caliban doesn't lie. I can feel it, there's a pyramid underneath it that hasn't been discovered, buried in the ground."

A bald man who seemed to have albinism said in a positive tone.

His name is Caliban, an alpha mutant.

It has excellent perception ability, not only can detect nearby compatriots, but also can detect terrain, which can be called humanoid radar.

"Hope you don't go wrong."

The whiskers said with a warning.

"Archaeological work" in ancient Egypt is one of the hottest investments in recent years.

Many wealthy nobles like to find a few archaeologists, and then give money and people to find the tomb of the pharaoh.

As long as you succeed once, the rewards are extremely rich.

Just like the once-popular great nautical movement, the royal family sponsored navigators, who discovered the New World and brought back gold and spices.

"Caliban can't go wrong."

The bald man seemed to be afraid of the sun and covered himself with a hood.

He is the most famous black market businessman and intelligence broker in the Middle East.

As a mutant, not only was he not discriminated against, but he was also prosperous.

"Dig down, you will definitely get a surprise."

Caliban hides in the shadows, in his perception, there is a magnificent pyramid beneath the ground.

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

His deal with Beard was to find a pyramid mausoleum for the other party that had not been visited by tomb robbers.

You can get a generous reward yourself, as well as the protection of private armed forces.

Beard is a major warlord in the Middle East, and the employer behind him has an even more mysterious origin.

Belong to Caliban can not offend the object.

"found it!"

Someone dug the entrance to the pyramid.

"It's sealed inside and can only be blasted open with explosives!"

Beard heard that the entrance was blocked, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

This means that it has not been visited by tomb robbers, and it is a complete mausoleum like a virgin land.

"Blast it! Blast it for me!"

Beard shouted.

He was employed by an organization in the United Kingdom that specialized in finding ancient relics, such as pyramids, coffins of pharaohs, and the like.

Certain wealthy and powerful Brits seem to be interested in mysterious powers.

Every time there is news in this regard, I will take the initiative to contact myself and provide a lot of manpower and material resources.

"Well done, Caliban! You're still useful."

Beard is very satisfied, and does not hesitate to praise.

Soon, the explosives were arranged.

Boom! Boom boom boom!

A huge sound wave broke out, shaking the gravel on the ground.

The entrance to the inside of the pyramid is already unobstructed.

"Send a team in first! Check out the situation!"

Beard commanded.

In order to prevent tomb robbers from destroying the tomb and disturbing the pharaoh's sleep.

At the beginning of construction of some pyramids, various organs will be designed.

After those uninvited guests died, there were also horror stories such as "Pharaoh's Curse", "Tangling Ghosts" and so on.

"If you can find something good, the British should be more generous."

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

"and many more……"

A few minutes later, Caliban, who was hiding in the shadows, changed slightly, as if he had sensed something.

There was a look of horror in his eyes. He hurried to the side of the beard.

Ignoring the scorching sun, he hurriedly said, "Get out quickly! There's... someone inside!"

anyone?

Pyramids are the tombs of pharaohs. What else can there be other than mummies in them?

The bearded question was still stuck in his throat, and the ground shook suddenly, far greater than the movement caused by the explosives.

The sand and gravel are like flowing water, rolling continuously, forming turbulent vortexes of different sizes.

Boom!

The pyramid buried in the ground rose suddenly.

The terrifying pressure poured down like a waterfall, suffocating everyone present.

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

Immediately afterwards, a majestic tall figure in metal armor walked out.

"Could it be... Apocalypse?"

Caliban shivered, and in his induction, the tall figure was like a huge mountain, and it was overwhelming.

The energy rays radiate out, forming a substantial high temperature heat.

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

Caliban immediately thought of the legendary Apocalypse, the oldest mutant on earth.

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

"But, why... there's another one?"

Trembling all over, Caliban knelt down slowly.

The shock in his heart has not yet calmed down, and he perceives a powerful existence.

The man exudes an energy ray that is not much worse than Apocalypse, and is majestic, like an erupting volcano.

Suddenly, two suns appeared in the sky.
