Chapter 977: Shocking Treasure Cave
With the real-time information provided by the lion, a few ships along the way were avoided in advance, and when they were about to reach their destination, they stopped in the open sea, waited for dark before entering Philippine waters, and then quietly reached the uninhabited bay east of Dappa Island.
The place where the gold is buried is a valley, surrounded by the highest peaks on the island, facing the sea in the east, a cliff of more than 100 meters, not to mention that the mountains are deserted, even people will not come to this side of the cliff. Entering the harbor, the warship was completely blocked by the mountains that stretched out, and there was no trace of it from the sea or from the island.
Park the warship, lower the anchor, and Xu Ziling and his party all got off the ship wearing training uniforms.
"Cement docks? These dwarves put a lot of effort into this place back then, and no one found out about such a big project, which is strange. As soon as he stepped on land, Ma Jiang said in surprise.
Xu Ziling looked up at the wharf located in the belly of the mountain, and explained to him: "The transportation of Dapa Island is not convenient, the population is not large, and it was once occupied by pirates, anti-government militants, and the surrounding sea is not rich, so no one wants to come to this area, plus this wharf is well disguised, ordinary people will definitely not run so far into the bottom of the matter, and even if someone finds out here, it is estimated that it will not be taken seriously, after all, such a project, in those years, was built a lot, It's like a domestic bomb shelter. ”
This is indeed reasonable, Ma Jiang nodded, and did not think much about this issue.
With gas masks, guns, and the necessary equipment in hand, a group of people began to set off towards the treasure cave, taking out the tablet that had been prepared long ago, and Xu Ziling took the lead.
Walk to the end of the pier and point to the corner of the mossy cave wall, "This is it." As he spoke, he motioned to a few soldiers with pickaxes to knock the place open.
A few people who followed behind pushed a few steps away, and several soldiers quickly stepped forward, and without saying a word, they smashed the pickaxe into the wall, and with a few "booms...... a few clicks, a hole was smashed into the cave wall, revealing a hole.
Ma Jiang bent down and looked, "Fortunately, we only used small stones and cement to make a layer, if we use a larger stone, it will be difficult to get rid of it with our little tool, this cement has been decades, and there has not been much change." ”
Li Cheng smiled, "Captain Ma, do you still think that the cement used by those dwarves back then was a fake, the technology of those years was not high, but the military cement must have a good effect, don't we have military buildings in China that are decades old, and they are still in use now?" ”
"That's right."
All opened, and a group of people waited for ten minutes for the air inside to start circulating, and then walked in.
After walking a few steps, Xu Ziling said to Yang Ruolan beside him: "You really want to go, the scenery inside is not so good." ”
A few of their men had told the women before that there would be a lot of bones inside, and they didn't want them to go in with them, but they didn't expect this group of women to take it to heart at all, saying that they must go in together, otherwise, this trip would be in vain.
"Didn't you say it, isn't it just a few bones? What is there to be afraid of. Yang Ruolan pinched Xu Ziling, and was very dissatisfied with him talking about this again.
"You look down on us, aren't you just dead people's bones? Just like the kind that my teacher brought when I was a child. Tang Jing also shouted.
What kind of teacher brought it? A group of people were stunned for a moment, and then remembered the skeleton model of the teaching equipment when they were in elementary school or junior high school.
"Yes, yes, Ziling, you look down on our vast number of female compatriots." The leaf holding Liu Long's arm also shouted at this time.
……
Xu Ziling immediately stopped talking, thinking to himself why this group of women were so bold!
Girls are generally scared to death when they see these things, why are they not afraid at all.
The passage of the cave had been sealed for decades, it was very dry, and even there was very little dust, and after twenty minutes, they finally reached the entrance of the cave, but the entrance of the cave was also sealed as the one who came in.
The same means were quickly knocked open, and a faint light shone in.
"We crossed a mountain!" Ma Jiang, who didn't know the inside story, walked out of the cave and said in surprise.
"Well, it's buried in a cave on the other side of the valley." Xu Ziling replied casually.
The valley is not big, and the traces of artificial trimming can be vaguely seen, a group of people walked through the valley with a lamp, and came to a mountain cliff, Li Cheng took the lead in approaching quickly, and used a machete to split an unknown wild vine on the cliff, and saw a steel gate.
"This is it."
"It's all overgrown with this kind of vine, if there is no information, even if an outsider arrives here, if he doesn't touch the iron gate, he really won't know that there is a mystery here."
The gold was in front of him, and Ma Jiang was excited in his heart, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to cut down all the wild vines on the mountain wall.
These soldiers still don't know what they are going to do, for them, just obey the order, a few people waved the jungle machete in their hands, and in a short time cut a clearing two meters high and four meters wide, so that part of the iron gate was exposed to everyone.
"It's simple. Otherwise, we're going to be in trouble again. Li Cheng walked to the iron door as fast as he could, and smashed the old-fashioned lock on the doorknob with three or two clicks of the gun in his hand.
"Come, push open the door." Putting the gun down, he beckoned a few soldiers.
"Okay."
After decades of no maintenance, the iron door was already rusty, and it took a lot of effort and everyone worked together to push the door open a crack.
"Okay, before going in, let me emphasize that this mission is top secret, and every word you see and hear must not be leaked, and if it is leaked, it will be dealt with severely, understand?" The iron door was pushed open, and they didn't go in right away, and Ma Jiang also knew that it was time for him to come out and speak at this time, so he hurriedly said to a few soldiers.
"Yes, understood!" Only then did several people realize that this was a top-secret operation, and they couldn't help but get excited.
"Okay." Ma Jiangyan nodded, "When the task is completed, everyone, including me, will have first-class team merit, so I don't want anyone to drop the chain and take out the spirit of our South China Sea Fleet, understand?" ”
"Yes, understood!"
In this era, first-class merit is very rare, and this is not only an honor, but also the capital for them to rise as soldiers.
"Woohoo ......"
Struggling to push the gate open completely, the cacophony was particularly harsh in the quiet valley.
Leaving two people on guard, the rest of the people walked in together, about ten meters in, there were two simple fortifications on the ground facing the cave, and there were several corpses lying in the fortifications, all of them still holding guns in their hands, and the clothes on their bodies that had been broken to disfigure, and they could also recognize that they were the clothing of the island army in World War II.
"Strange, how do these people put guns inside?" After a pause, Ma Jiang voiced his doubts.
Xu Ziling and the others already knew about this situation, why this happened, of course, they also understood that it was nothing more than that after the gold was hidden here, the dwarf army killed all the people and low-level soldiers who were arrested to build this fortification in order to keep it secret.
"Ah...... It won't be for secrecy......" Without waiting for them to answer, Ma Jiang said in surprise.
"Isn't it, just look at it later."
Walking forward quickly, the strong flashlight shone on the ground, even Xu Ziling, who had already prepared in his heart, shocked the scene in front of him: the ground was all corpses, and the passage nearly 100 meters wide was all paved.
"Ah...... How many people must have been killed? Ma Jiang stammered a little when he spoke.
Xu Ziling felt that Yang Ruolan, who was grabbing her arm, was unconsciously exerting force, so she knew that she was still frightened, gently pinched her hand, turned her head and said, "We have to clean up here first, otherwise, we won't be able to go over, let's wait outside." ”
It was a few of them who saw this scene, their scalps were numb, Yang Ruolan and their girls were bold, and they felt uncomfortable at this time, with him saying this, Li Cheng and the others also realized the strangeness of the women around them, and hurriedly echoed, saying that they would go out first, call some people over, and clean up inside.
Of course, reality is different from imagination, a few girls were indeed frightened, and they no longer stiffened, nodding in agreement, so a group of people came out of the hole again.
"Tell someone to come and clean up first?" Ma Jiang asked Xu Ziling.
"Well, call someone over, at least we have to clear a road, the weather is good now, and we will camp here by the way." I was blinded by gold before, and now I felt that it was a little thoughtless, and several people hurriedly asked him to call someone over.
Maybe I've seen more of the world, maybe it's because of my family, maybe it's because of the men around me, Yang Ruolan's girls are indeed bolder than ordinary women, and after chatting for a while, they regained their usual looks.
"When I used to be in college, the dormitory was mixed, and there was a girl from medical school in the dormitory, and she often took us to see the corpse specimens, and at that time I found that I was not afraid at all, but today this is really too much, and people with dense phobia are guaranteed to be frightened, and I also feel fluttering in my heart......" Ye Zi said self-deprecatingly.
"yes, the year before last? When I went to Ruiguo, I saw many people being shot to death, and I didn't feel scared in my heart, but today I was really shocked. Yang Ruolan also said with a smile.
……
I really don't understand women, I was scared half to death just now, and now I can talk about it with a smile again.
Seeing them chatting with great interest, Xu Ziling and several men could only stand aside silently and smoke and smile bitterly.
