Cai Shi naturally thought about things that only military fans would know.
This was all the result of her hard work in learning all kinds of knowledge in order to be able to continue what Masha said.
The enemy still concentrated all its firepower on Baiquan.
Although Baiquan cannot fire eye rays, she uses her long neck and mouth to launch physical attacks on nearby enemies.
A large number of bullets and RPGs with trailing flames hit Baiquan's huge, defenseless body, leaving no trace at all.
Baiquan now really looks like a wild BOSS in an online game - being surrounded and beaten by a large number of players.
**
Masha felt very strange now, as if someone was playing a piano with his fingers on the grooves of his brain.
This feeling was extremely strange, and even made Masha feel like vomiting.
——I thought mental shock was the kind that happens directly like a DUANG, but I didn’t expect there could be this kind of slow and long-lasting effect!
——This is too uncomfortable! I might as well have fainted from being hit by a DUANG.
Masha pursed his lips and kept a straight face, resisting the mental shock. At the same time, he had to concentrate and observe the situation around him - it would be no fun if a wild Cleopatra suddenly appeared nearby and he was discovered.
——I’ve played my cards, and now it’s up to Johnny to decide if he’ll fall for it.
**
Johnny had just arrived at the research center located in the ruins of the temple. Before he could even warm up his stool or look at the mummy, the local CIA chief had already thrown the live video to him.
Johnny looked at the video and said, "What's going on? Is this the water monster from England? Wasn't it beaten to death by two gorillas? Wait a minute!"
Johnny yelled.
"Stop! Zoom in here!"
He pointed to a corner of the large screen showing a video of the scene.
The operator quickly zoomed in and saw a man in power armor holding something like a long sword in his hand.
"Enlarge what's in his hand!" Johnny continued to order.
The operator executed the command.
Johnny looked at the picture that was magnified dozens of times and couldn't help but exclaimed: "This looks like the sword that was just stolen by a goblin from Gringotts in the UK."
Ben stared at the screen carefully for a few seconds, then nodded in agreement with Johnny's opinion: "That's the sword! It appears here, which means... the shadow is here?"
“Yes.” Johnny looked very excited, eager to try. “Shadow! We finally caught it! I told you, they can’t always be ahead of us. As long as we keep chasing it and don’t stop, everything we have done in the past will not be in vain!”
Of course Johnny didn't know that Marsa deliberately waited for them to arrive before taking action. He even cooperated with their schedule and postponed the plan to seize the mummy for a day.
He also didn't know that Masha had noticed that he overestimated Ying and wanted to use this to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
This time, Johnny was really outmaneuvered by Masha.
Johnny: "Can we continue playing? Is this a real-time video of the scene?"
"Yes, the delay will not exceed 2 seconds." The operator reported.
"Shadow sent out a man and a monster to attack the Pyramid of Djoser where we stole the Pharaoh's mummy..." Johnny muttered to himself, "Why the Pyramid of Djoser? Is there something else in there? Is our intelligence missing?"
That's right, when Johnny encountered this situation, the first thing he thought of was that his side had intelligence that they hadn't yet mastered. He assumed that the information that Shadow had was more than that of the CIA and Johnny.
Johnny didn't think there was anything wrong with his subconscious thinking.
Ben, who was listening nearby, did not point out that there was anything wrong with his thinking.
"But if there really is something important in the Pyramid of Jossel, why doesn't Ying use that satellite attack to get rid of the Egyptians in one fell swoop?" Johnny said, turning his head to look at Ben, as if seeking the big guy's opinion.
Ben said, "Maybe to avoid destroying Djoser's pyramid?"
"Makes sense."
Johnny thought about it, then suddenly snapped his fingers and said, "Zoom out and switch to a wide-angle lens!"
The next moment, the image on the main screen changed, becoming a panoramic bird's-eye view of the City of the Dead.
"Let the computer filter out the figures that match the characteristics of the British traitor Shelley." Johnny continued to give instructions, but he changed his mind immediately, "No, Friday, you do the analysis directly!"
Friday was quick to respond, "I didn't see the lady."
Johnny was shocked. "That's strange. The guy wearing the power armor and using the sword just now, judging from his route choice, he doesn't look like an experienced British agent at all."
Ben: "Is this intentional?"
"Acting? Acting to get yourself shot? No, no, no, that's not the case. An experienced agent would not treat the battlefield as a joke. If the beautiful British traitor was in the power armor, she would definitely keep choosing the best route instead of running around on the battlefield like a headless fly like now. No, the former British agent is not near the Djoser Pyramid."
Johnny paused and glanced at the CIA director and the chief scientist who had just entered the control room.
"Every time Shadow was about to do something big," Johnny said, "that woman was there. Now that she's not here, I have a bad feeling. Mr. Chief Scientist, how is the mummy doing now?"
"Lying there peacefully, being guarded by four strong men and two people with super powers." said the scientist.
Johnny was relieved, and then he ordered:
"It's still very likely that we are the target, but... we can't ignore the situation at the Djoser Pyramid. Let the Copts deal with it, and send out the SSS-class named Cleopatra to repel the enemy, and capture them alive if possible! Ben and I will stay here!"
Ben nodded: "Yeah, this will ensure everything is safe."
Chapter 584 Cleopatra
In the City of the Dead, the battle was drawing to a close, the Egyptian army had been routed, and only sporadic bullets were fired at the White Spring.
Cai Shi was in a dilemma.
——What should I do if the enemy’s superpower user doesn’t come after I defeat him?
At this time, Masha's instructions came: "Let Baiquan guard outside, you go into the Qiaosel Pyramid, you don't need to go deep, just wait near the entrance. Pretend that you are looking for something inside."
"learn!"
Cai Shi glanced at Bai Quan. The giant plesiosaur was already crawling towards the Qiaossel Pyramid. It was obvious that Bai Quan had also received the order.
Cai Shi drove the power armor, passed through the wreckage of the tank and the wounded on the ground, and moved towards the pyramid.
Suddenly, she heard someone whispering in the wind. It was English, but the accent was a bit heavy. Cai Shi didn't have as good hearing as Masha, and the voice was a bit vague, so Cai Shi couldn't hear it clearly at first.
But she still shuddered.
The next moment, the sand in front of her came alive, gathering from all directions, and a pillar grew out of the sand.
Then the surface of the pillar began to peel off, just like the space in the middle of the paper-cutting was hollowed out little by little. In this process, the pillar gradually turned into the shape of a mummy with its hands crossed in front of its chest.
The mummy opened its eyes, and its head began to deform, growing a dog's mouth and nose.
——Anubis!
Cai Shi called out the names of the ancient Egyptian gods and monsters he had seen in the movies.
——In "The Mummy Returns", the Scorpion King's army is made up of this thing!
The next scene was like a re-enactment of the scene of The Mummy Returns. Dog-headed soldiers grew out of the sand out of thin air and formed a dense military formation in front of Cai Shi.
Cai Shi glanced at the sword in his hand - its light had become dim. Cai Shi didn't know how many more rounds of curry sticks it could fire, nor did he know how to recharge it after that.
——Senior brother said that when faced with this kind of situation, we should decisively use orbital bombardment!
Cai Shi glanced at the simple map next to the power armor's operating panel. It was a map with the Djoser Pyramid as the zero-point coordinate, several locations simply marked out, and the longitude and latitude of each location measured.
"Brother, bombard xxx, xxx coordinates!"
"learn."
Cai Shi turned around and ran for his life - because the Soviet power armor's retreat speed was too slow, he had to turn around and run - the great Soviet Union would never retreat!
Lights lit up the desert and orbital attacks dropped from the sky.
The ogres close to the bombardment point were instantly turned into sand again by the impact, while those far away were instantly melted by the high temperature. But what was strange was that the super high temperature bestowed by the orbital bombardment was suddenly taken away by something, and the sand that had just melted solidified into glass figures.

Cleopatra lost consciousness for a second and nearly fell out of the open door of the helicopter, but she was tied with a safety rope.
"What's going on?" the accompanying sniper asked loudly.
"I was attacked..."
Sniper: "Where is the attack? How come I didn't notice we were being attacked?"
Cleopatra ignored the sniper. Her abilities were top secret and the sniper certainly didn't know about it, and she had no intention of breaking the confidentiality rules.
——I have never experienced instantaneous unconsciousness before. Even when a 155mm high-explosive grenade fell on my Anubis army, it did not make me faint.
——This is indeed the masterpiece of Shadow’s orbital attack…
Cleopatra only got detailed information about Shadow after she directly asked Norfolk last time. Before that, she only knew that there was such an organization and that there was a super-powered person in Shadow who could launch attacks from space.
After getting detailed information about Ying, I found that this organization seemed too strong.
Now, after taking this blow, Cleopatra was certain that Ying was a formidable opponent.
——No wonder Americans are so afraid of them.
Cleopatra ordered the legion she had just summoned to disperse.
——As long as I don’t faint, my army will be endless, so I have to reduce the number of Anubis that can be hit at the same time...
Cleopatra fainted again.
Her body was hung by a safety rope, diagonally outside the plane.
Fortunately, the sniper was agile and pulled her back.
Two seconds later, Cleopatra regained consciousness and decided to abandon the legion she had summoned and summon again.
- This time summon several separate small units.
——The distance is still too far. If we summon separate small groups of troops, the total number of soldiers will not be enough.
Cleopatra's abilities, the number of Anubis summoned at once, and the total number of Anubis are affected by distance.
When she summons a legion around her, she can command 100,000 people at the same time.
In the same way, if you summon ten different legions, the total number of troops you control will drop to 50,000, with 5,000 for each legion.
It seems like a very common ability, but Cleopatra's soldiers are immortal. To be more precise, once killed they will be resurrected immediately, and there will be no end to them.
In desert areas, this advantage becomes particularly great because the sand used to "make" legionnaires is inexhaustible.
At this moment, she used her own abilities to create several small-scale legions in the City of the Dead, which was hundreds of kilometers away. She began to pick up Egyptian weapons and attack the two members of the Shadow Organization who were causing trouble in the City of the Dead.
That’s right, Cleopatra’s ability has such a flaw. The individual combat effectiveness of the Anubis Legion is not strong. They can easily tear a single human apart with their bare hands, and they can be invulnerable to ordinary bullets, but - that’s all.
Without proper anti-armor weapons, the Anubis Legion would have a hard time even facing armored units - in that case they would have no choice but to climb onto armored vehicles, use brute force to lift the lid of the turtle shell, and then pull the members out and beat them up.
Therefore, those who knew Cleopatra's abilities thought that her SSS-level combat power was a bit weak and might not be as good as the "Pharaoh" who could summon a huge number of scarabs.
At least the Pharaoh has strong attack power. The passage of the scarab swarm is like a devastating destruction, and it can eat up everything except metal.
Even concrete cannot withstand the gnawing of beetle swarms.
The beetle swarm can also be used as a shield and has detection capabilities, just like the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid in FATE.
Cleopatra's ability was indeed a bit shabby in comparison. Even if she provided Anubis's army with modern weapons, it would only have the destructive power of a modern army.
Although the infinity is quite impressive, it does sound a bit low-key for an SSS-level psychic to use summoned creatures to fight people in a rotation.
Scientists all over the world have not realized that SSS qualification does not refer to "ability" but the capacity of a container. Currently, only Masha, who learned about the existence of the entry system through magic weapons, has insight into this secret.
Precisely because no one knew about the existence of the entry system, no one knew that Cleopatra actually had a special ability - everyone thought that summoning the Anubis Legion was all she could do.
Cleopatra could see spirits.
Most of the time it is the souls of the dead.
The souls of the dead are basically some residues, some remnants of strong obsessions in life. Cleopatra has been seeing these things since she was a child and is no longer surprised by them.
Until recently, she saw a complete soul.
The soul suddenly appeared in the carriage. It was so complete that Cleopatra, who was used to seeing the souls of the dead, immediately determined that this was not a dead person, but a real living person.
She didn't know why she saw the soul of a living person, nor did she know where the soul's body had gone.
But it doesn't matter, the soul even has an appearance, and is not just a ball of fireless embers like those residues.
That soul could even recreate devices like mobile phones in its own appearance - when Cleopatra first saw him, he had no mobile phone and was not even wearing any clothes, but after meeting Cleopatra's gaze, clothes appeared.
