Chapter 370: Treasure Hunting

……

"Watch this place, no one is allowed to enter!"

"Yes!"

"Let's go!"

Beckoned Matthew into the basement, where in addition to the bodyguards on duty with guns in their arms, were the death row inmates who had brought generations of sand and dirt under their custody.

Because they are doing manual work, the food of these death row prisoners is quite good under Guo Shouyun's explanation. At the very least, there is meat to eat. In addition, Guo Shouyun promised: After the matter here is over, he will let them go. So these guys are pretty honest. Sticks and sweet dates have always been the only way for your majesty.

"Boss!"

Piret Lee, who was in charge of overseeing the basement, walked over quickly.

"Got it?"

"Yes, three goals, all of which met the boss's requirements. ”

"Good job!" After patting him on the shoulder, Guo Shouyun stretched out his hand, "Give me a gun!"

Nodding, Piret handed over the Beretta 92 pistol at his waist.

"I want an assault rifle!" Guo Shouyun took an M16 directly from the bodyguard next to him! Then, with the exception of Hua Lei, let all the bodyguards in the tunnels withdraw. ”

"Withdraw?" said Pire, surprised.

"Yes, get out! Hurry up! We have limited time tonight. ”

Guo Shouyun's tone was stern, Pi Lei didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took out the walkie-talkie on his waist, and evacuated all the bodyguards in the tunnel except Hua Lei to the basement.

"Boss, you want to go down in person?"

Seeing Guo Shouyun on the side take off his jacket, change into camouflage and military boots, and carry the gun behind his back, Matthew couldn't help but ask.

"You come with me, too!"

As he spoke, he took a mask from the bodyguard who climbed up next to him and put it on his face, inserted the intercom into his waist, and walked to the entrance of the cave.

"Pire, you're in charge of security here. No one is allowed to enter except on my orders. ”

"Yes!"

After completing the final explanation, Guo Shouyun grabbed the rope that went vertically into the hole and slid down, followed by Matthew. Below, a row of glow sticks inserted into the cave wall barely illuminated the rudimentary passage, one meter wide and about two meters high, reinforced with steel structures on all sides.

Turn on the miner's lamp overhead, and the entire passage will brighten up a lot in an instant. After about 20 meters along the passage, you will come to an underground space of about 50 square meters. Here, two generators are running, and the top and six hundred-watt light bulbs on Thursdays and Fridays illuminate the space.

In the cave, the tall and sturdy Hua Lei is holding an M249 squad machine gun, covered with bullet belts, plus the M16 behind him, the grenade on his chest, and the dogleg knife on his left thigh, the dagger on his right thigh, and the mask on his face that seems to be a demon.

Under his suppression, twenty death row inmates honestly squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, and no one dared to move except for their eyes.

"Boss, what's wrong with you?"

Although Guo Shouyun changed his outfit and wore a mask. But for those who are familiar, it is not difficult to recognize him.

"Come down and have a look!"

"Let's go, go to Target One!"

Hua Lei nodded, raised the gun in his hand, and said in a voice like Hong Zhong: "Get up and work!"

Under his urging, these death row prisoners who were more arrogant than one in the past ~ were like well-behaved rabbits, honestly holding the tools in their hands and walking to the passage next to them.

"Why do they listen to you so much?" asked Guo Shouyun with a smile.

"Hehe, I'll be obedient after repairing it!" Hua Lei patted the heavy machine gun in his hand absently. Ten kilograms of firearms were like straw in his hands.

"Let's go!"

Guo Shouyun nodded and beckoned the three of them to follow these death row inmates and walk forward. After passing through a narrow passage, there is another space of about 40 square meters in size and 2 meters in height. There are many tin boxes stacked here, as well as locks, chains, and snakeskin bags used to seal them.

After passing through this space, the tunnel widened quite a bit, close to two meters. And there were three forks in different directions.

"Boss, which one do we start with?" said Matthew.

"Start with the far left. ”

Guo Shouyun didn't know where the treasures he wanted were located, so he could only come one by one.

At Hua Lei's urging, the death row inmates began to work. The three people in front dig, and when their physical strength drops, the people in the back pick up. After digging to a certain extent, start clearing the soil. Fortunately, Thiruvananthapuram is located on the alluvial plains of the subcontinent, and the ground is full of earth and sand, and there are no hard rocks, so it is not difficult to dig.

"Don't carry the sack out first, just put it in the passage. Guo Shouyun didn't want to waste any more time, so he ordered directly, "Also, dig up something hard, report it immediately." ”

The prisoners did as they were told, and soon they dug up what Guo Shouyun wanted. In fact, this was also expected by him. Thanks to Bruce Guo's memory, Guo Shouyun's mathematical ability is not to say top-notch. But also the elite among them. During this period of physical recuperation, he worked out the approximate structure of the Padmanaba Swamy Temple through several field trips. Although the underground chamber is unknown, it can be easily estimated from the above-ground part, and it is not completely clueless.

"Get out of the way!"

Guo Shouyun strode to the front and brushed the dirt away. Sure enough, layers of stone were stacked, and the walls with obvious artificial traces were exposed.

"Finally found... Quick, bring the cutter. ”

The prisoners brought over the cutter, which had been prepared long ago, connected it to the electricity of the generator, and the sharp steel sheets spun in a whirlwind.

With the harsh sound of rubbing, the seemingly hard stone wall is extremely fragile under the cutting of modern technology. In the middle of the front and back, a hole of thirty square centimeters was cut out.

"Matthew, infrared equipment!"

Guo Shouyun did not rush in. After letting the hose connected to the blower blow some oxygen inward, then ask Matthew to take out the infrared equipment prepared in advance, connect the laptop, and put the end with the camera inside.

Soon, a somewhat blurry image appeared on Matthew's laptop.

"What is this?"

The content in the picture made Guo Shouyun frown.

"It's like a room dedicated to the gods!"

At this time, Guo Shouyun also saw the sculpture of the gods shown in the picture. She was dressed in the crown of a king, with a garland of precious stones and sacred threads on her chest, and four arms held the Conch Shell, the Wonderful Divine Wheel, the Divine Hammer of the Gods, and the Divine Bow. Although the color is not clear, the image is clearly that of Vishnu, one of the three main gods of India.

In addition to the statue in the middle and the altar at the foot, there are some shelves around it, and the shelves are obviously scriptures and the like. And there are quite a few of them.

Judging from the furnishings of this room of about 100 square meters, it is clear that this is more like a library than a secret room where he is trying to find a treasure.

"Get the camera back, put the rock back. That's not what we're looking for. By the way, leave seven people behind and fill in the soil here. Leizi, you stay to oversee them. After backfilling five meters, bring them over. ”

"Yes!"

"The rest of me follow Target 2. ”

Under the supervision of him and Matthew's two guns, the remaining thirteen people came to the second passage. About an hour later, the hard stone wall reappeared. Everything is as it was before. However, the images presented on Matthew's laptop made Guo Shouyun excited.

"Boss, this is a 70-square-meter stone chamber about 3 meters high, and there is nothing at all except some scattered stones...!"

"No, this is it!!" Before he could finish speaking, he was disrupted by Guo Shouyun's excited tone. If his memory is correct, the treasure is here.

"Someone, tear down this stone wall for me. ”

The prisoners did not dare to slack off, and quickly used a cutter to cut out a hole with a flat tunnel, about one meter wide and high.

Guo Shouyun jumped in front of everyone. However, he didn't ask people to move the stones first. Instead, the condemned prisoners were first asked to bring the iron boxes, iron cables, snakeskin bags and other things that were placed outside.

"Boss, it's all filled!"

Hua Lei, who had completed the task, rushed over with the remaining seven death row inmates.

"It's just in time, everyone, move these rocks away!"

When the stone was halfway cleared and a black hole appeared in Guo Shouyun's eyes, his expression suddenly became excited.

"That's right, this is it!"

Soon, after all the stones had been moved to the side, an arched stone cave with a width of one meter and a height of two meters, sloping downward, was presented to everyone.

When Guo Shouyun was about to walk in impatiently, he was stopped by Matthew.

"Boss, the situation inside is unknown, it is dangerous. Let's let them go first!"

Although the ventilation in the secret room has been much smoother, except for a slight feeling of suffocation, there is no abnormality such as poisonous gas. But in the unknown, Matthew remains highly vigilant.

Guo Shouyun understood his good intentions, so he didn't insist. Something has been found anyway. Their own people blocked the exit, and no one could fight the idea of their own treasure.

After letting the death row inmates go in and there were no anomalies, he walked in with Matthew and Warley.

Soon, after crossing a passage about 20 meters long and rotating downward, under the bright lights of more than twenty miners' lamps. A hall three meters high, covering an area of about 150 square meters, supported by four stone pillars, appeared in front of everyone. The four walls of the hall have simple reliefs, and the four thick pillars have patterns of strange beasts that Guo Shouyun can't understand.

Directly opposite their entrance, a black iron gate appeared in front of everyone's eyes. The iron door was dark and dreary, I don't know how thick, and on top of it were two huge cobra reliefs. The snake body is circling, the scales are clearly visible, and the hideous snake head sticks out from the iron door in the form of a round carving, like two doorknobs, and like two giant snake guardians who want to break away from the iron door and bite the invaders.
