Chapter 339: Multiple Passages!
Walking around the grass and observing, He Zilong raised his head and said, "If I'm not mistaken, there is no one in the cave above, and we may be late......"
"Boss, how do you see ......?" someone asked.
"The footprints in the grass are messy, and they seem to be in a hurry, but there are more than one person's footprints, and some places seem to be new footprints, which indicates that someone is in a hurry to transfer the gold, silver and jewelry here, for fear that we will come. It seems that there are more pirates on this island, and the last one to run back ......" He Zilong thought for a moment and replied.
After hearing this, everyone was shocked and looked at each other.
The anxious ran up no longer hiding his whereabouts, and it didn't take long for a voice to be heard. Sure enough, there was no one up there!
Now the crowd stopped moving slowly, but all of them sped up and ran.
I have to say that there are some small mechanisms on the road, but they are not a problem.
On the cliffs, there are huge limestone caves that are connected together, and many seabirds are startled when people pass by. This cave is the base camp of the pirates, and the space inside is huge, and it is no problem to live hundreds of people.
Everyone checked the past one by one and found that there were still rooms, but some rooms had doors, some did not, but they all had signs. Of course, some of these logos are in fonts, some are stupid, and probably only the pirates themselves know what they mean.
"This should be a granary, it seems that there is not much food and no less, and the pirates who moved things away did not consider food in the first place. There's rice, there's bacon, well, there's something weird, I can't tell what it is......" Li Dawei pointed to a room.
"This should be a weapon warehouse, I don't see hot weapons, they are mainly cold weapons, it is estimated that there are only a small number of hot weapons, and I usually carry them with me. The maintenance is not too good, and many of the swords are a little worn and rusty...... "He Zilong also went to another place.
"This is supposed to be the treasure room...... "Someone suddenly shouted, drawing everyone in at once.
After all, one is here to see if there is a boat that can go to sea on his own to return to civilized society, and the other is to see if there is any windfall. After all, when it comes to pirates, the Pirates of the Caribbean film franchise pushed one of the most feared professions of the 17th and 18th centuries to the pinnacle of piracy.
People have the impression that pirates are weird guys with turbans, dirty but complicated clothes, and earrings, but it is not these that attract people, but the legendary pirates' lair, where there is an incomparably huge wealth, and whoever can find it can become rich.
Especially He Zilong, who has watched the animation "One Piece" in the later generations, even remembered a line, do you want my treasure? Go, I put everything there --- great voyage. (Gordo D. Roger)
This sentence was left by Roger before he was executed, and it is also known as the "most classic quote" in One Piece. Roger worked hard to become the first One Piece, and no one could appreciate the hardships and pains he paid. In that particular era, Roger was the first to eat crabs, ushering in the Age of Discovery.

It's just that unlike what I imagined, the treasure room in front of everyone was empty.
Oh no, it's not completely empty, there are some scattered gold coins and remnants of jewels that have fallen on the ground, and there are empty open chests, and the imprints on the ground that have been carried away. All of them show one thing, someone rushed to transfer the treasure before He Zilong and others came over.
"It's really a matter of asking for money and not dying, food and weapons are not transferred, but the treasure is transferred......" He Zilong was a little speechless, in his imagination, a small number of remaining pirates would inevitably be transferred, but considering the problem of survival, even if the treasure was transferred, it was impossible to choose only the treasure, and not take other things.
"If the things we are moving are by land, it is understandable that we are not bumping into people at all in the direction we are coming, but is it really convenient to take so many treasures by land? I am afraid that we will choose a direction and follow immediately, maybe we will be able to keep up, which is too risky. And there are a lot of people on land, you look at these boxes, if there are more than a dozen of them, can we move them all at once......" said the captain, pointing to the large boxes in amazement.
This sentence is like waking up a person in a dream, and many people think of something for a while.
The people brought the pirate who led the captive and asked on the spot, "Do you have any boats here to ......go to sea?"
The pirate captives looked at the people with eager eyes, and replied weakly: "Yes, just behind our base, there is a large water tank, which is usually closed by a water gate, connected to the sea, and there are spare fishing boats in it......"
"How many boats are ......?" He Zilong asked again.
"One is functional, one is still under repair, and the ...... is badly damaged," replied the pirate captive.
Hearing the pirate captive's answer, He Zilong's heart felt bad. The others were also startled, and then escorted the captives in the direction he pointed. All the way to the big tank under the cave.
When I opened the water gate, I saw at first glance, well, I couldn't see anything, it was too dark.
The oil lamps lit here among the bushes, and now I finally saw it clearly. I saw that a broken fishing boat half-sunk in the tank was still there, and the so-called other intact fishing boat had long since disappeared.
Syllable!
He Zilong kicked a bucket next to his feet, and said hatefully: "If you just transport the treasure to the boat and then transport it away from the waterway, then it can be done quickly by only a dozen people." Even a few people can barely do it if they are a little ruthless. Needless to say, they ran away and we were a step late......"
Alas!
Everyone sighed in their hearts, and their dreams of making a fortune were shattered. And the last intact fishing boat is gone, and a dilapidated one that sank into a tank will take time to repair. With their unprofessional skills, it may be difficult to say that it will take a month or two to repair.
After all, you have to face the sea, and you can't be insensitive. If you make a mistake on land, you will be safe and secure if you don't prepare well and don't repair it, and if you have an accident when you go to sea, you will die.
"The natural magnetic field here is really chaotic, the communication signal is even more chaotic and there is no signal, it seems that you don't expect to be able to contact people on land......" Li Dawei took out his big brother and looked at it, in fact, he would take out his big brother from time to time along the way. As you can imagine, there is no signal at all.
"Rest here for the night, and then have someone go over there and call everyone else. Concentrate on big things, and when the weather is okay, we burn piles of firewood on the top of the hill and smoke and pose in the shape of SOS. It's not realistic to wait for the ship to come here, but if there is a rescue team. It must be more possible to go in the air, we have to let the rescue helicopter have a chance to see us......" He Zilong explained silently.
At this time, he was in a bad mood. After days of tension and hard work all the way, when I knew the result, whether it was good or bad, I relaxed. I didn't hold my breath, and I felt so tired. I want to sleep!
And there are many people in the team who feel this way.
