Chapter One Hundred and Four: Where the Treasure Is
Deep in the jungles of Myanmar.
In the middle of the night, the stars are shining brightly and the starry sky is pure.
The bonfire crackled, and the four tomb robbers, Bai Xiaofei, Bai Zhanji, Gao Luck, and Man Renfei, sat around the bonfire.
"Third uncle, do you think the masked man will hang up?" Fiddling the bonfire, Bai Xiaofei suddenly turned his head and asked Bai Zhanji.
"How is that possible! The masked man is simply a god-like existence, and he is like no one in the army, more fierce than Second Brother Guan, so I don't believe that he will be fine. Before Bai Zhanji could answer, Man Ren Concubine interjected with a glare.
"Alas, it's been two days, and that guy hasn't come back yet." Bai Xiaofei glanced at Concubine Manren, turned his head and continued to stir the bonfire, and sighed.
Everyone was dull for a while, and Gao Luck said to Bai Zhanji: "Third uncle, otherwise, we won't wait for that person." The treasure is probably gone, so let's go back to China. β
"That guy is our only chance, and we're still waiting two days." Bai Zhanji thought silently and said in a deep voice.
A few minutes passed.
Card rub ~ card rub ~
In the darkness came the sound of shoes stepping on dead branches and leaves. The four tomb robbers suddenly tensed and picked up their guns and pointed them in the direction from which the sound came.
"I can't see that you four still miss me."
Said softly in a joking voice. The figure of the man wearing the wooden mask was illuminated by the firelight, and the four of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"You're hurt?" Bai Xiaofei's eyes were sharp, and when he saw the hole and blood stains on Ye Feng's chest, he was taken aback and asked.
"I'm fine." Ye Feng waved his hand to signal that he didn't have to worry, took out the key from his personal pocket and threw it to Bai Xiaofei. "The keys you need, go on."
Bai Xiaofei hurriedly took it. When they got closer to the campfire, they saw that it was the key they were looking for, and their eyes lit up.
"Third uncle!"
Bai Xiaofei excitedly handed the key to Bai Zhanji, who excitedly took it and looked at it carefully, and the other two tomb robbers also came over to watch the object.
Ye Feng sat down and barbecued the deer he hunted not long ago.
The bonfire quietly dissipated the tension in Ye Feng's heart, and he recalled the scene of encountering a foreigner wearing power armor two days ago, and his heart became heavy.
Who the hell are those people? Why are you wearing such advanced equipment? Why attack yourself? Could it be that they also came for the treasures of the Bagan Dynasty?
Although the treasures of a thousand-year-old dynasty are precious, they are not worth equipping such an advanced team to mobilize the people. It's a bit of a knife to kill a chicken, it doesn't make sense.
Or is there some huge secret hidden in this treasure that deserves such a stir?
Ye Feng ate roast venison to recover his strength, and thought silently.
After escaping into the jungle that day, he kept his limit strengthened and ran desperately until he ran out of energy. Then disguised as a big tree, waited for the body to pass the period of weakness, and then came to join Bai Xiaofei and the others.
Fortunately, in the past two days, Ye Feng didn't find any traces of those armored people's tracking, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Okay, if you get it, where do you go next?"
After dinner, Ye Feng looked at Bai Zhanji and asked. This little old man with a goatee was the backbone of the tomb robbers, and Ye Feng could feel that only he had the real secret.
Bai Zhanji pondered for a moment and said calmly: "The treasure is located in the Savage Mountain, and we will go to Myitkyina next. β
Savage Mountain?
Hearing this familiar name, Ye Feng was stunned. He had heard of this name, it had appeared in many military history books, and Shen Weiguo had even told him the story of Savage Mountain in person.
It is said that this is the most terrifying and pristine part of the jungle in Myanmar. During the Anti-Japanese War, the 50,000 people of the Chinese Fifth Army crossed the Savage Mountain and arrived in India, only three or four thousand people remained, less than a fraction. Of the 100,000 Chinese soldiers who died in the battle in Burma, 50,000 died in Savage Mountain. It's a nest of poisonous insects, a green hell that even a man at the top of the food chain may not be able to get out of it.
The treasure is located in the Savage Mountain?
Under Ye Feng's questioning, Bai Zhanji revealed the secret of the treasure.
It all starts with the story of a veteran of the Anti-Japanese War.
The veteran's name was Zhang Wen, and he was the soldier of the expeditionary force who survived from Savage Mountain. In order to raise money for his wife's treatment, the old man pawned the jade pendant he got from Savage Mountain by chance, which was inadvertently obtained by Bai Zhanji, and recognized the jade pendant as an object in the secret treasure of the legendary King Jiang Xituo of the Bagan Dynasty of Burma. Bai Zhanji touched the melon, found the old man with great difficulty, and learned the origin of this thing from his mouth.
It turned out that Zhang Wen had been taken captive by the wild people in the mountains to breed when he was in the Savage Mountain, and he was able to escape without dying, and he even picked up some ancient jade artifacts from the place where the savages lived. According to the old man's recollection, the place where the savages lived seemed to be a hidden valley, living in ancient ruinsγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» according to Zhang Wen's description, combined with his own years of experience, Bai Zhanji concluded that the treasure of King Jiang Xituo was in the valley where the savages lived.
Zhang Wen mentioned that after he escaped, he was helped by a local mountain dweller, so that he was able to survive the disaster. In order to repay the favor, Zhang Wen gave a treasure obtained from the Savage Valley to the mountain man. That is, the key necklace. Bai Zhanji came to look for the mountain man, only to learn that the key had been bought, and after chasing it, he finally found that the key was under the hands of the big drug lord Liang Xichang. I don't want Liang Xichang to have a lot of eyeliners, and the tomb robbers have not had time to find a way to steal the key before their whereabouts are exposed.
To be honest, everyone present has heard the rumors of Savage Mountain. For this hellish jungle, Bai Zhanji and the others were at a loss in their hearts, not knowing if they could find the treasure in it.
Ye Feng, who had received strict training in jungle survival for special forces, knew far more about the horror of Savage Mountain than a few tomb robbers. If he hadn't been fully equipped before, he would never have dared to enter such a forest easily. But now, Ye Feng felt that there was no pressure on Savage Mountain or anything.
"It's Bai Zhanji, these four guys, want to prepare some equipment for them, so as to save the chain." Ye Feng thought silently.
γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
Just as Ye Feng and the others were about to head towards Savage Mountain, they were in a densely wooded valley thirty kilometers away from their hideout.
Three camouflage tents are set up in the valley and are barely visible from the air under the shade of dense trees.
In a tent, a satellite dish and several connected computers were set up, and a lean European and American man sat in front of the computer, intently typing on the keyboard.
"Captain, there's a discovery."
The man took off his headphones and turned to the strong man next to him, who was sitting on a folding chair and eating apples with a saber.
The burly man in his thirties walked up and looked at the computer screen.
"Intelligence shows that the guy rescued several tomb robbers who were imprisoned by Liang Xichang a few days ago. These tomb robbers are celebrities in China's tomb robbery industry, and according to information obtained by our intelligence officers, these tomb robbers entered Myanmar in search of the treasures of the Bagan dynasty. The lean man said.
"Bagan?"
"It was the kingdom that ruled Myanmar a thousand years ago and is said to be the richest dynasty in Myanmar."
"Ancient treasures, keysγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» hehe, it seems to be another 'Zuma Ruins'. Has BFIPU investigated the destination of the grave robbers? The burly man rubbed his chin and thought for a moment and asked.
"Yes. The intelligence team used a lot of effort to find that the leader of the tomb robbers seemed to have contacted a Chinese World War II veteran named Zhang Wen and obtained clues to the treasure. Quite possibly where these people will go next. The lean man tapped on the keyboard and pulled out electronic documents, which seemed to contain photos and various materials of Bai Zhanji and others.
The burly man thought for a while, and said solemnly to the lean man: "Call the headquarters, apply for the support of the Tianyan system, we need to monitor all human activity points in the Savage Mountain area around the clock." β
"Yes."
Ten minutes later, in the vast space of the earth, a military satellite in low-earth orbit turned its telescope and aimed its lens in the direction of Savage Mountain. At the same time, at a secret military base thousands of kilometers away from Myanmar, forty or fifty people were busy in the information hall. The walls are covered with screens and projectors, and the hall is full of more than a hundred computer devices, and the sound of keyboard tapping, talking, and walking is full of busy atmosphere.
On the huge flat panel display, high-precision miniature scans show the scene captured by the satellite, and the small mountain villages in the jungle of the Savage Mountain area are clearly visible. A circle of light constantly locks on the faces of pedestrians, analyzing and comparing them with the heads of the target people, that is, the four Bai Zhanji, searching for traces of tomb robbers.
"Also, apply for a biochemical hound from the headquarters, and be sure to arrive by airdrop within 12 hours." The strong man commanded the lean man.
The lean man's ten fingers flew on the keyboard, tapping rapidly, and one piece of information was transmitted to a military base in the United States thousands of kilometers away through satellites. Soon after, a stealth bomber quietly took off from another military base and flew over Myanmar.

On the border between China and Myanmar, in Mutong Town, adjacent to the border, the dragon tracking team disguised as a merchant has just followed Ye Feng's trail here.
The captain of the tracking team, Yan Ying, this jealous and hateful, overlord flower-like woman swore to arrest the criminal suspect Ye Feng. This is the first time she has led the team on a mission since joining the Dragon Group, and Yan Ying will never allow herself to fail.
After coming to Mutong Town and hearing all kinds of news about the destruction of the crocodile gang by the forest ghost and the masked man who manipulated plants, Yan Ying became more and more sure that the object she wanted to capture, Ye Feng, was here.
Just when she was about to follow the vine and catch up with Ye Feng in one go, she suddenly received a call from the headquarters.
"Nightshade Squad, this is the headquarters, and now there is an urgent mission for you to carry out." The head of the liaison department of the dragon group said solemnly to Yan Ying.
"Nightshade received, please instruct." Yan Ying listened intently.
"The latest intelligence shows that a unit from the U.S. Area 101 is secretly operating on the China-Myanmar border. BFIPU speculated that the squad's actions were likely related to the 'Zuma Crystal'. Your nightshade squad is located near the incident site, and the situation is urgent, so you need to keep track of the whereabouts of the other party before the reinforcements arrive, prevent them from obtaining the 'Zuma Crystal', and if possible, capture them. The quest to track Target 2 is paused first. Support will arrive within 8 hours, stay in touch. β
"Yes."
After carefully reviewing the information sent by the Liaison Department, Yan Ying summoned the team members. After a short but heated discussion, the six-member team set off again and hurried to the mission site.

Myitkyina, a border town in northern Myanmar.
As a tomb robber in the new era, it is essential to master a foreign language, especially if you want to come to a foreign country to hunt for treasures, Bai Xiaofei has already learned Burmese in advance, and he can speak it well in a local dialect.
There is no shortage of Chinese people anywhere in the world, and people like Bai Zhanji who are engaged in special professions have a network that cannot be underestimated.
Within a few hours of arriving in Myitkyina, Bai Zhanji found a local guide, a jeep, to take several people to Grape County, which is located on the edge of the Savage Mountains.
"Big brother, the phone you wanted." Bai Xiaofei talked about a big brother as heavy as a brick and handed it to Ye Feng.
βγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»β
Ye Feng looked at the products that could only be found in Hong Kong films in the seventies and eighties, and was speechless for a while. Anyway, can this still work?
"Big brother, don't look at it ugly, this is a satellite phone, even if you go to the primeval forest, you can get through." Seeing that Ye Feng was a little unhappy, Bai Xiaofei hurriedly explained.
Ye Feng gave him a blank look, walked to a no-man's corner, and pressed a series of phone numbers.
"I haven't called home for almost two months, so let's call back to talk to my parents." Ye Feng thought silently.
γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
Haicheng City, Quang Dong Province, China.
In the new house that Ye Feng bought for his parents, his mother Su Li was doing cross-stitch, and his father Ye Ming was reading the newspaper.
Tick tick tick ~ Su Li turned her head: "Kid, his father, the phone is ringing." β
"Oh."
Ye Ming stood up, picked up the phone, and said calmly, "Hey? β
"γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»Dad, it's me." There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and suddenly a slightly choked voice said.
"Ah Feng!" Ye Ming exclaimed, his mood was instantly extremely excited, and he asked excitedly, "Where are you?" Are you okay? - the kid, come on, Feng is calling! β
Su Li's hand shook after hearing Ye Ming's excited shout, and the embroidery needle pierced her finger, but she was no longer in the mood to pay attention to this little pain. I dropped my needle and thread and ran over.
"I'm in a very far away place, I'm fine, you don't have to worry. Mom and Dad, are you okay? Ye Feng asked with feeling. Wandering alone in the jungle for more than a month, far away from the fireworks in the world, he suddenly heard the voice of his relatives, and he couldn't help but feel deep feelings in his heart.
"Good, good. Ah Feng, the Ministry of Public Security said that you killed someone and absconded, what the hell is going on? During this time, your mother and I were so worried that we couldn't eat. Ye Ming asked worriedly.
"Dad, Mom, don't worry, I didn't kill anyone. I was framed by a great evil man. The strength of the big villain is very strong, and Mr. Shen Weiguo is helping me collect evidence of the wicked, and it will not be long before I can confirm my innocence. Then I can go back to see you, you have to take care of yourselves, don't wait for me to go back and see two patients. Ye Feng said with a smile, comforting his parents.
"Ah Feng, when will you be able to come back, Mom wants to kill you." Mother Su Li took the phone and asked worriedly.
"Four months at most, and I'll be able to go back in two months." Ye Feng swore by it.
"By the way, during your absence, Su Qingyu came to visit the two of us every day and talked and chatted with us. The little girl is very nice, you can call someone later. β
"Well, I will."
γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
After chatting for more than ten minutes, after talking to his parents on the phone, Ye Feng called Shen Weiguo again and asked about the development of the situation in Haicheng.
After fleeing by himself, the Long Group really sent people down to protect his parents and Su Qingyu and others. The Sun family has not moved, it seems that they have forgotten about this matter, and they have not come to trouble Shen Weiguo and others.
Then Ye Feng called Shen Ruolan and asked about the Green Leaf Group. The second phase of the Luye Group project was launched as scheduled, but the auction of centennial medicinal materials was forced to be cancelled. Mr. Mei's group of old Chinese medicine doctors were very depressed.
In the end, Ye Feng called Su Qingyu.
"Hello, hello?"
"γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» me, Xiaoyu. How are you? β
