Chapter 63: The Treasure Map (Part II)

"Map." Suning stretched out his hand.

Without his command, Chen Jing had already stuffed the map into his hand.

Suning took a look, basically determined the specific meaning of this set of answers, and explained:

"East longitude and north latitude are expressions often used by captains to mark directions, not a specific point. That is, with the hut as the coordinate origin, a direction to the northeast. ”

"18, I think it's a unit of measurement, most likely meters, but it's also likely feet, so along the northeast coordinate direction, dig in both places, and the treasure is likely to be buried in the soil."

Everyone had no doubt, Yi Qingxuan took out a compass from his backpack and handed it to Suning, he carefully adjusted, determined the specific location of the treasure, picked up the shovel outside the wooden house, and began to count along the wooden house.

The glasses didn't know where to get a box of tape measures, Chen Jing held one end, and she followed Suning, measuring the data while walking.

After a while, when the distance of 18 feet arrived, Suning lifted the shovel and began to dig the pit, and the others were not idle, searching around for messy tools to help Suning dig the pit. The efficiency of everyone's concerted efforts was very fast, and in a moment, a large pit one meter deep and three meters in diameter was dug out.

Suning shook his head, stopped the idea that everyone was going to dig down, jumped out of the hole, and continued to walk towards the coordinates.

At this time, all the women were covered in mud, gray and unkempt, as if they had just come out of the coal mine, Chen Shu pressed on Qin Xiaoru's face, and suddenly Qin Xiaoru's white and pretty face on the left instantly had five more black finger prints.

Qin Xiaoru's counterattack did not show weakness, seeing that Chen Shu covered her face, she suddenly pinched the two huge balls on Chen Shu's chest, Chen Jing screamed, jumped like a rabbit, and screamed while running:

"Qin Xiaoru, you female rascal!"

Qin Xiaoru grinned, raised her sleeve nonchalantly and wiped the black fingerprints on her face. Then trotted all the way to keep up with everyone, and Suning had already gone far.

At 18 meters, Suning stopped, greeted everyone, and began to dig a pit, when it was related to life and death, everyone did not hesitate to use their strength, and the soft soil was a burst of fierce cutting, and the progress was amazingly fast.

At this time, Chen Shu suddenly exclaimed loudly.

"I've dug into something hard! I've dug into the hard stuff!! ”

Everyone was extremely excited, Suning's expression moved, walked over, signaled Chen Shu to calm down, and then lightly picked up the soil, revealing the true face of the hard object.

It was a boxy, backpack-sized small iron box, the lock of the iron box had long been rusted, Suning gently tugged and opened the iron box, and there was a well-preserved small wooden box inside.

Looking at the simplicity of the wooden box, it is obvious that it has been some years, and it has been buried in the soil for decades, without the slightest decay, and the material is by no means ordinary, and it must be worth a lot.

Captain Kane was willing to use such a wooden box as a packaging and protection, and the contents should be extremely precious.

Everyone suppressed their excitement and waited quietly for the moment when Suning opened the wooden box.

At this time, the mystery is in front of you, to say that you are not nervous, it is self-deception, the closer to the mystery, the more afraid Suning becomes, if Captain Kane just played a joke with them, there is no so-called treasure and submarine at all, then all hope will come to naught, and what awaits them will be unpredictable consequences.

Let's hope not! Suning said silently in his heart, concentrating for a moment, and gently opened the wooden box.

The moment the wooden box opened, a golden light came from his eyes.

It's gold! The glow of gold!

Everyone jumped up excitedly, there is really a treasure, we really found the treasure, and the hope of escaping must be inside.

Suning narrowed his eyes slightly, the dazzling golden light dissipated, and two gold pills the size of a ping-pong ball stood straight on the wooden box, and a parchment roll was pressed under the gold pill.

Suning took it out and looked at it, and the first paragraph that caught his eye made him breathe a long sigh of relief.

"Brave adventurer, congratulations on finding my treasure, and as a reward, the two golden balls in the box will be given to you as a greeting gift. However, the adventure game is not over, come on, come to my resting place, Kane's treasure will belong to the brave, resourceful, fearless adventurers!

"Don't forget, it's all a fate, a gift from the great Lord, remember to be thankful, and good luck, my child, Amen."

Two paragraphs later, there is a map marked with a red route, and a large treasure chest is drawn at the end of the route, which is obviously the location of the treasure map.

So, is the submarine also in it?

After a little pondering, Suning gave up the unrealistic idea. The first priority now is to enter the resting place that Captain Kane said, and the rest will be considered later.

This red route is a little difficult to walk.

Suning couldn't help but have a headache, everyone else was studying the map, so naturally they didn't notice that Sweet Potato looked at the two golden balls, and the greedy gaze flashed in his eyes from time to time.

After thinking for a moment, Suning still decided to take one step at a time, follow this red line first, and solve any problems along the way, he casually put the wooden box and two gold balls into his backpack and commanded everyone to set off.

The sweet potato fell last, and his eyes were full of struggle.

***********************************************

At the wharf of the main island of the Zhonghu Islands, the 100 people are ready to go.

Deputy Director Zhou walked around anxiously, his eyes were not looking in the direction of Iron Furnace Island, the sea was calm, and there was nothing he wanted to see.

"What time is it?"

He asked in a hoarse voice, his voice not breathing at all, like a dying old man.

Zhang Decai stood aside, raised his hand to look at his watch, and said astringently:

"16:42."

At the end, his voice was very low, and he asked carefully:

"Brother-in-law, do we really have to go first?"

Deputy Director Zhou glanced at him, and then looked at the blue sky in the distance, with a trace of helplessness and self-deprecation in his eyes, but his tone was extremely firm and decisive!

"Let's go! Why not go! If we go now, the worst result will only be seven lives, and the big deal is that I will give up my surname and lose my family and pay them all the money; If I don't leave, more than 100 lives may die because of me, not only I can't afford to pay, but even my wife, my children, my relatives and friends can't afford to pay! Do you understand that? ”

Zhang Decai smiled bitterly and comforted himself:

"Maybe it's not that serious, it's just a power outage."

Deputy Director Zhou did not answer, he could only deceive himself and others, and he could not deceive others.

He turned around and patted Zhang Decai on the shoulder, and said earnestly:

"Your sister and the son who didn't make it are all handed over to you."

Zhang Decai nodded heavily.

Deputy Director Zhou breathed a long sigh of relief, put down the stone in his heart, rubbed his face vigorously, and shouted loudly:

"All of you get on board, lift anchor, and go back to F City!"
