Yacht Chris.

At seven o’clock in the morning, the people packed up and prepared to go to the cave to carry the treasure.

Elsa Marin stayed on the yacht to rest because of her leg injury.

Luke, Lilith and Cobalt rushed to the cave carrying a small motorized tracked carrier.

Luke used the opener to open up a path in front of them, creating a path large enough for the tracked vehicle to pass through, and from time to time he had to chop down vines and sweep away dead branches.

This work was also very laborious, and seeing that Luke was a bit tired, Lilith took the initiative to come over and take over the lead.

Glasses Girl was responsible for driving the small tracked vehicle forward at the back.

Along the way the three of them were very excited, glasses girl has already figured out how to use the proceeds of the treasure hunt, chattering non-stop.

This time it was a light load, the three of them traveled faster, and arrived at the cave before ten in the morning.

Luke let Lilith and Cobalt wait outside, and entered the cave by himself first.

“Ow …… “Soon after entering the cave, a huge figure sprang out of the water pool, opened its big mouth, revealing sharp teeth, and lunged and bit at Luke.

This crocodile was much crazier than the one he encountered yesterday.

“Bang Bang Bang Bang!” Luke fired four shots in a row, piercing the crocodile’s head and back, and the crocodile was completely dead.

Luke approached to check, this crocodile’s tail had been injured and already showed signs of pus, it should be the same crocodile that he had injured yesterday.

It was also because this crocodile had been injured that it was more ferocious and violent, and could block anyone who wanted to enter the cave.

The fact that it hadn’t been killed meant that no one should have entered the cave to carry away the treasure.

Luke had been on alert since the two thugs boarded the yacht that night, or maybe he was just being paranoid.

Luke called Lilith and Cobalt on his walkie-talkie and told them to drive the tracked vehicle into the cavern.

The trio entered the hall of the cavern containing the treasure, and as they had left yesterday, there was no sign that anyone else had been there.

The wooden boxes containing the treasure were no longer portable due to their age, and the three moved all the treasure into woven bags.

The three of them put one woven bag of gold jewelry and two woven bags of gold bricks onto the tracked vehicle, as well as a box of pottery carried separately on their backs.

The tracked vehicle was small and couldn’t hold too much, and the ground of the rainforest was soft and muddy, so it would be easy to get stuck if they loaded too much.

The remaining one box of gold bricks and six boxes of silver bricks could only wait for the next time to be carried.

Afterwards, the three of them returned along the original road.

Glasses girl is responsible for driving a small tracked vehicle, compared with the time of small tracked vehicle is obviously a lot more bulky, coupled with the rugged terrain speed is also reduced.

Returning to the yacht, it was already two o’clock in the afternoon.

Lilith and Cobalt were already exhausted.

The two had been living in the city, originally not too adapted to the rainforest, plus two consecutive days of running, the body is very tired.

Luke looked at the time, if the two were allowed to travel together again, with their speed, they might not be able to return to the yacht before dark, Luke even felt that it was questionable if they could walk back.

Luke considered for a moment and prepared to head to the cave alone to carry the treasure.

Earlier, a path had been opened up to allow the tracked vehicle to pass through, and he was much faster alone.

Although it wasn’t good to let one person carry the treasure alone, Lilith and Cobalt had the intention to help, but their bodies were exhausted and they could only be a burden when they went.

Elsa Marin’s leg injury had not yet healed.

The three stood on the deck of the yacht and watched Luke enter the dense rainforest, before they went about their business.

Lilith and Cobalt were responsible for placing the treasure.

Elsa Marin, on the other hand, returned to her bedroom.

Closing the door to her room, she knocked on the closet door, “Knock knock.”

“Cluck ……” The door of the closet opened, and a mixed-race man in his thirties with a tattoo on his neck stepped out of the closet.

The man, like Elsa Marin, was a mix of white and black, only with darker skin and a more pronounced black heritage.

“Hey babe, have they left yet?”

“Luke’s the only one who went, are your guys ready?”

“Yes, we just made contact over the intercom and they are ready for the meet and greet.”

Elsa Marin admonished, “Luke’s is a famous detective in L.A., better have your people be careful.”

“Heh heh.”

The tattooed man grinned, “Don’t worry, this isn’t L.A. and it’s not the urban alley warfare he’s familiar with, it’s the rainforest.

Catching thieves in the city is completely different from rainforest combat, he’s a rookie here, he’ll only get abused.”

Elsa Marin took a deep breath, “I hope everything goes well.”

The tattooed man put his arm around Elsa Marin’s shoulder, “It will, we’re going to be millionaires soon, and all those gold bricks will belong to us.

With this money, the rest of our lives will be carefree, we won’t have to get up early to work anymore, and we can enjoy our lives every day.

You can also realize your dream of traveling around the world.”

Elsa Marin glanced at the doorway, “What Lilith values the most is not the gold bricks, but the pottery, I think those things might be worth a lot of money as well.”

“Don’t worry, I will find a good buyer for them.

After the two of them get their hands on them, we can make our move.” After saying that, the tattooed man took out his walkie-talkie, “Hey, this is Ross, the target has already landed on the island, he’s the only one, act according to the plan.”

The northern coast of the island.

In a dense weed pile in the tropical rainforest, the weed pile shook for a moment, then a bald man lying on the ground raised his head, picked up the walkie-talkie and said, “Copy that, we’ve set up an ambush on the road he must take to get to the cave.

This kid is dead.” The balding man rubbed his stomach, and a fierce color appeared on his face.

“Be careful, that kid isn’t easy to deal with.”

“We were just careless last time, this time we brought guns, in the rainforest, he is definitely no match for us.

As long as we don’t take the initiative to show up, he won’t even know how he died when he meets God.”

“Very well, remember to inform me when it’s done.”

“Understood.”

The bald man lying on the ground lifted his head and looked up into the trees, “Hey Cam, that kid landed on the island, and he’s the only one.

Are you staying here, or going to the other trap.”

Cam said, “I’m not going anywhere, I’m going to watch him fall into the trap we set for him.”

“You lazy ass, you stay here and I’ll go to the other side.” After saying that, the bald man got up, dressed in camouflage clothing that resembled his surroundings, and walked nearly a hundred meters away before lying down again in a thick patch of grass.

He lay on his back, motionless and patient, and strangely enough there were no mosquitoes biting him either.

After about ten minutes, the intercom rang with Cam’s voice, “I see him.”

The balding man cursed in a low voice, “Idiot, get off the walkie-talkie, I can hear the tracked vehicle moving. Be careful.”

“You too, asshole, don’t let him beat you up again.”

The balding man grunted, “In the rainforest, I’m the hunter.”

A hundred meters away, Cam hid in the treetops of a leafy tree, and he could vaguely see Luke and the tracked vehicle through the gaps in the leaves.

For some reason, he was inexplicably a little nervous and a little excited.

‘It’s here, it’s almost here.’ Cam muttered silently in his mind.

Then, to his disappointment Luke luckily bypassed the mechanism and didn’t step on the trap he set, Cam was a little disappointed, picked up the walkie-talkie and wanted to remind his bald companion, but remembering his companion’s previous instructions, he put down the walkie-talkie again.

Not far away in the grass, the balding man heard the tracked vehicle gradually approaching, knowing that the first trap didn’t work, but it didn’t matter, there was another trap waiting for Luke, this one was set by him personally, he was very confident.

It was quiet around them, only the sound of the tracked vehicle.

Suddenly, a shriek rang out, “FUCK! Old man’s leg.”

“Miso!” With a sound, the bald man stood up from the grass with an excited face and ran to the trap he had set up, at the same time, he took out his pistol from his pocket and loaded it, this time he wouldn’t make the same mistake.

The bald man quickly ran near the trap and raised his pistol to check, the tracked vehicle was right next to the trap, the huge trap had been triggered, but there was no sign of Luke who was supposed to be here.

The trap he had set up cleverly, right in the path of passage that Luke had opened up, and with a large tree to the left and a rocky outcrop to the right, it was just wide enough for the tracked vehicle to get past, the reason why he had set up the trap here was for two reasons.

The first reason, this was the way to go, Luke was sure to come through.

The second reason, the tracked vehicle has to pass through here, because of the restriction of the big trees and rocks on both sides, it has a fixed passing position, if it is offset, it can’t pass.

The bald man placed the trap trigger between the two track wheels so that the tracked vehicle would not trigger the trap.

However, he imagined it well and the trap activated, but there was no sign of Luke.

Steeply, a cold feeling rose behind him, and he vaguely heard footsteps behind him and hurriedly turned his head to check.

It was Luke.

Only to see the other party holding a gun in both hands, walking out from behind him, the bald man hurriedly raised his pistol.

“Bang! Bang!”

Before he could raise his gun, two bullets shot over and hit him in the head, and he didn’t even have time to call for help before he fell straight to the ground.

On the other side, Cam heard an unusual movement and climbed down from the tree to come over and check the situation.

He saw that the triggered trap was empty next to him, while the bald man was lying not far away with two big holes broken in his head.

A sense of deathly fear struck him, and at this moment he no longer wanted to kill Luke, he just wanted to escape.

“Bang!” Another shot rang out, a sharp pain in his right wrist, and the pistol fell to the ground.

“Ah ……”

Luke stepped out from behind a large tree with his gun in both hands, “Don’t move or the next place you’ll be shot is in the head.”

“Please, don’t kill me.

I lost my pistol, I’m no threat to you now.”

“Put your hands on your head and get on your knees.”

“My arm is hurt and bleeding.”

Luke walked over, kicked him in the back, put plastic handcuffs on him, and asked, “Was it you and the bald guy who snuck onto the yacht that night?”

“Yes.

We were just trying to steal something, we weren’t trying to hurt anyone and we weren’t armed.”

“Why are you guys on this island?”

Cam gave a hesitant look, “It was just a coincidence.”

Luke put away his pistol and brought the shotgun out behind him and held it to his head, “I didn’t use the shotgun before because I wanted to stay alive, and now that seems unnecessary.

I’d also love to see a shotgun blast to the head, I’m sure it would be exciting.”

“Please, don’t kill me.”

“Ka!”

“Last chance, why are you here?” Luke’s index finger was on the trigger without mercy; if he hadn’t been so observant, he probably would have broken his leg in the trap.

“Elsa Marin, she’s the one who told us the location.”

“You guys are a team.”

“We’re not familiar with her, it was her boyfriend who asked us to come.”

“How many of you came?”

“Three, Elsa Marin’s boyfriend is on the yacht.”

“How did you make contact?”

“With walkie-talkies.”

“Give him a heads up and tell him you guys took me out.

If you say one word wrong, I guarantee your head will explode like a watermelon.”

Aboard the yacht Chris.

Lilith and Cobalt had settled the treasure they had brought back, and both of them were exhausted, lying down on the deck loungers to rest.

Lilith’s willowy brows furrowed slightly as she asked Glasses Girl to the side, “Did you hear anything?”

Cobalt shrugged, “What sound?”

“I’m not sure.” Lilith stood up, suddenly feeling a little annoyed, and walked over to the side of the ship, looking in the direction of the island.

She couldn’t see anything but tall, thick trees.

After a while, a sound of footsteps sounded, Lilith twisted her head to look over, Elsa Marin walked out from the cabin on the first floor of the yacht, still walking with a lopsided stance, Lilith was about to be concerned about her injuries, when suddenly, she saw that there was another person following behind her.

Lilith was startled and revealed a wary look, “Who are you? Why are you on my yacht?”

Lilith’s voice was loud, as if she was reminding Glasses Girl.

Glasses Girl also turned her head to look over, and upon seeing the unfamiliar man, her right hand touched the pistol at her waist.

The tattooed man, Ross, pointed the gun at Glasses Girl, “Uh oh, lovely lady, don’t do anything stupid, don’t make me put a hole in your pretty face.”

Glasses Girl looked at the blackened muzzle of the gun and rushed to raise her hands in fear.

The tattooed man turned to Elsa Marin, who was off to the side, and said, “Hey baby, take her gun away.”

Elsa Marin walked over and took the gun away from the glasses girl’s waist.

“Why did he call you baby?” Cobalt gave an angry look, “Oh my God, you’re the one who brought him on the yacht, you’re in cahoots.”

“That’s right.” Ross, the tattooed man, smiled, “She’s my girl.”

Lilith said, “If you want the treasure, take it, please don’t hurt us.”

The glasses girl was a little distressed, but also scared when she saw the black holes of the guns, “I’d leave if I were you guys, or else Luke will have you arrested when he comes back.”

The tattooed man, Ross, laughed, “Looks like you guys didn’t hear the gunshots, that LAPD cop is dead, he may be good in LA, but he’s a rookie here.

If you guys don’t listen, I’ll send you to him.

Baby, tie them up.”

Elsa Marin bound Lilith and Cobalt’s wrists with plastic handcuffs, “I’m sorry, I have to do this.”

Cobalt looked at her opponent angrily and said sarcastically, “I’d love to hear your reasons for not having to.”

Elsa Marin said solemnly, “The treasure you found from the cave belonged to our ancestors.

Back then, our ancestors encountered pirates on their way back to Europe, and their ship was damaged before they hid the treasure here.

For hundreds of years, we have been searching for the treasure left behind by our ancestors.

I can’t just stand by and watch you rob my ancestors of their treasure.”

Glasses Girl asked rhetorically, “Since it’s the treasure left behind by your ancestors, why don’t you guys have a treasure map?”

Elsa Marin sighed, “There were some accidents back then, the era was too long ago, and we’re not sure about the specifics.”

Glasses Girl said, “I have a guess, perhaps your ancestors weren’t the ones who buried the treasure at all, but rather those pirates who seized the treasure.

That’s why they knew about the treasure but weren’t clear about its exact whereabouts.”

Elsa Marin’s face changed drastically and chided, “Shut up, my ancestors were not pirates.”

Lilith was also furious, but didn’t want to provoke the other party and reminded, “Cobalt girl stop talking.”

The tattooed man laughed, “Babe, let them say what they want, there’s no need to lose your temper with someone who’s dying.”

Both Lilith and Cobalt Girl’s bodies trembled when they heard that, and they wore horrified looks.

Elsa Marin also frowned tightly, “You promised me that you would try not to kill anyone if you could, the two of them are no threat.”

The tattooed man, Ross, said, “Don’t be silly, them being alive is the biggest threat.”

Elsa Marin opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but eventually lowered her head as if she acquiesced to the matter.

Lilith’s white cheeks looked even paler as she said, “Elsa, we have always treated you as a partner, we hope that we can be spared for the sake of Luke saving your life.

As long as you let us go, I promise I won’t pursue the matter of the treasure.

Like you said, these treasures belonged to your ancestors, and now they belong to you.”

Elsa Marin’s face showed a difficult look, she twisted her head to the side, not daring to look at Lilith, “I’m sorry, I ……”

Seeing Elsa Marin’s expression, Lilith and the glasses girl both revealed a look of despair.

Great joy and great sorrow.

The pain of life was nothing more than this.

Just at this moment, footsteps sounded on the other side of the yacht, and it seemed that someone had boarded the yacht.

The crowd turned their heads and saw Cam walking over quickly.

The tattooed man, Ross, was first delighted, then frowned slightly, “Cam, are you injured?”

Cam didn’t answer, a look of panic on his face as he walked quickly towards Elsa Marin and the tattooed man.

Suddenly, Luke appeared behind Cam, he raised his shotgun and pulled the trigger, “Bang!”

A shot hit Cam in the head.

White and red splattered everywhere.

“Bang!”

Another shot.

The tattooed man looked down at his chest, a big hole was blasted through my heart ……

“Ah!”

Elsa Marin let out a scream and raised her hands ready to beg for mercy.

“BANG!”

Luke didn’t even give her a chance to open her mouth and directly fired.

Elsa Marin was hit in the chest by the shotgun and fell to the deck.
