Although she had guessed the reasons for the soldiers' deaths, she couldn't help but turn pale when she heard the real reasons. "How could Antonov be like this? These soldiers accompanied him through the Siberian winter. If it weren't for these loyal soldiers, how could Antonov have completed his mission?"
Yang Jing shook his head slightly, but did not speak. After yesterday's fight, he was now able to judge the matter from a very objective standpoint.
Antonov's approach was indeed cruel, but if I were in Antonov's shoes at the time, I would probably do the same.
The treasure of the last Tsar is the key to whether His Majesty the Tsar can make a comeback in the future. Even if this treasure is only a small part of the many treasures smuggled out by the last Tsar, it is priceless. Therefore, from the perspective of the superiors, the value of this batch of treasures is far greater than the lives of these soldiers. In order to ensure the safety of this batch of treasures, killing these soldiers is undoubtedly the best way.
Moreover, these soldiers definitely knew what their mission was. They were able to resolutely embark on this treasure-hunting mission, which could be called a journey of death. This meant that when they accepted this mission, they had already made up their minds to die. I'm afraid that these soldiers even asked to stay here on their own initiative.
Who can tell?
These skeletons were moved to a corner of the cave's hall, and the worn oilcloth was still covering them.
Yang Jing took Gege in his arms and approached the platform. After taking a look, he said, "Try to break it open. Don't use drugs. The treasure is hidden underneath."
This kind of work was not difficult for these big and strong men. Two of them held big hammers and smashed it a few times, and a hole appeared under the platform.
The entrance of the cave was dark. Jackson Keller came to the entrance, fanned his nose with his hand, nodded and said, "This cave is not airtight, and the air inside is not turbid."
Yang Jing nodded and said, "Let's wait a while. We don't lack this little time now."
Several people waited for more than ten minutes before they opened a telescopic ladder, lowered the ladder, and then lowered two battery-powered lights, allowing them to see the situation below clearly.
The cave below is about four meters high and covers an area of about one hundred square meters. It is densely packed with boxes of varying sizes, all wrapped in oilcloth.
The following situation made Jackson and the others excited. They did not follow the treasure hunt in Alert last time. This was the first time they followed Yang Jing to hunt for treasure, and they found the legendary treasure of the last Tsar in no time.
This time, Yang Jing did not give way, but was the first to climb down the ladder.
Just as Jackson said just now, this seemingly hidden cave actually has a vent leading to the outside world, because Yang Jing can faintly feel the air flow in this cave.
The area within the Arctic Circle is actually quite dry. In addition, this cave actually extends to nearly halfway up the mountain, so melted snow cannot flow in. Therefore, this cave does not feel damp at all, but only dry and cold air.
When he got to the bottom of the cave, Yang Jing discovered that the oilcloth on the outside of the boxes was still in good condition. At least it was not as deteriorated as the oilcloth covering the corpses. The oilcloth here still maintained its due toughness.
This is good news. With this layer of oilcloth, the treasures in the box can at least be better preserved.
In fact, oilcloth, invented by humans, is indeed a good thing. Some oilcloths can even be preserved for more than a hundred years under suitable conditions!
Jackson and the others followed Gege down. After seeing the oilcloths that were still in good condition, Gege immediately said, "Yang Jing, we'd better not open these boxes here. The things inside have been wrapped in oilcloths for nearly a hundred years. If we open them rashly, we might destroy the treasures inside."
Yang Jing nodded and said, "Actually, I think so too."
After a pause, Yang Jing said to Jackson, "Go outside and contact Chris and ask them to drive the Hippo over. There are too many things here. It would be a waste of time to transport them using the Antarctic Tern."
"Yes sir!"
