"What is this?" Wang Jing asked.
"The entrance to the wine cellar?" Xu Lin asked.
"Yes, I was right, wasn't I? Without me, an acquaintance, leading the way, most people wouldn't be able to find the entrance," Old Zheng said with a proud look.
"Stop talking nonsense and quickly figure out how to open it," said Aunt Ning, Zheng Ming's mother.
"The staff always opened it when I came before, I didn't know that!"
"I didn't know you were looking so slutty just now!"
Aunt Ning spoke for everyone, and Xu Lin thought to herself, "Now I know why Zheng Ming is such a goofball."
"Let me give it a try," Zhou Pin said, helping Lao Zheng out of the predicament.
Zhou Pin took out a power bank and a detector-like device from his backpack, first charging the door lock, and then performing a series of operations.
"Click" The door lock opened.
"Young man, you have potential. You used to be a locksmith?" Old Zheng patted Zhou Pin on the shoulder.
"I have a slight understanding of it."
Xu Lin took two flashlights out of her backpack, gave one to Lao Zheng, and the five of them went down the stairs.
"ah!!!"
When ordering from the bottom shelf, Lao Zheng's flashlight shone on the ground, and Wang Jing screamed in fright at the sight of a skeleton on the ground. Aunt Ning quickly hugged her.
"Don't be afraid, Jingjing. They might be staff members who are trapped here."
"It's okay, Auntie. I was just startled when I suddenly saw it."
“We’re all compatriots, let’s help him bury him in a bit,” Old Zheng sighed.
Zhou Pin and Lao Zheng moved the bones on the ground aside and continued walking inside. The further they went into the wine cellar, the cooler it became.
After walking about 10 meters, I shone a flashlight on the rows of oak barrels, and the cellar was filled with the rich aroma of wine.
"The oak barrel is so big, we can't take it with us!" Aunt Ning exclaimed.
“There are empty buckets at the foot of the wall. Let’s use them to fill up as much as we can,” said Lao Zheng.
Xu Lin didn't say anything; she just waited for them to finish collecting the goods before taking everything herself.
The group went to the corner of the wall and got an empty bucket. They uncorked an oak barrel, and a rich aroma of wine wafted out. Clear red wine gushed out, filling the bucket in no time.
The group divided the work: one woman would open the oak barrel to collect the wine, while the others would transport it out of the cellar. After one round, another woman would take over collecting the wine.
Xu Lin found several small carts in a warehouse on one side, which greatly saved manpower.
"The car probably won't be able to fit everything," Old Zheng said regretfully.
"It's only been a short while, and there's still so much left!" Aunt Ning said reluctantly.
"There's nothing we can do if we can't take it all. The car is only so big, and you can't eat alcohol. We definitely have to focus on food," Old Zheng said helplessly.
"Let's take this much wine. Let's see if there's anything else useful," Xu Lin said.
So the group left the wine cellar, with Xu Lin and Zhou Pin walking at the back. Under Zhou Pin's cover, Xu Lin stored all the oak barrels and warehouse tools into her spatial storage.
After leaving the cellar, the group went to the kitchen. Even the rats were moved to tears, leading them to conclude that the person in the cellar must have starved to death. They wondered why he hadn't gone out to find supplies.
“There’s no food in the kitchen, so why bother going anywhere else?” Wang Jing said.
"Let's see if we can find any gasoline or diesel. People need to eat, and cars need to refuel," Xu Lin said.
"Linlinzi is right, let's split up and search."
The group split up and conducted a thorough search of the entire castle.
Xu Lin and Zhou Pin weren't in such a hurry for food, so they went to some less popular places, such as guest rooms, exhibition halls, tool rooms, etc.
