After saying that, the other person rummaged through the combination lock suitcase and then pointed to a logo mark that had been crushed and deformed.
"This logo must have been made by the locals. I suspect this place is within the territory of the United States, the beacon of light in North America!"
Lu Yuan stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, because the clue he had now could not confirm that they were in the United States. Although this kind of leather suitcase was not widely circulated, the fact that he was able to buy it meant that these combination lock leather suitcases must have been circulated in many other places.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Yuan quickly turned to look at the young man who had discovered the combination lock suitcase.
"Hey bro, where did you find that combination lock briefcase? Can you take me there?"
The other party immediately nodded and led everyone to the place where he had found the combination lock suitcase.
Not far from where the suitcase was found, a withered tree trunk stood alone in the snow, and near the trunk were some holes that had been dug out, obviously just now.
Then the other person carefully stepped across a ditch in front of him, and then came to the place he had just dug and pointed it out.
"Mr. Lu, this is the suitcase with the combination lock that I just found!"
"Alright, there's no time to lose. Quickly call the exploration team over and have them dig around the area with all their might to see if they can find more combination lock briefcases. If they can find more combination lock briefcases nearby, they might be able to find some new clues!"
So everyone gathered around, grabbed shovels and hoes, and began digging around the area.
Lu Yuan carefully examined the combination lock suitcase he was holding, then punched the lock.
The combination lock shattered with a snap, and the combination suitcase was opened. After gently opening the suitcase, it was found to be completely empty, except for a packaging lining and nothing else.
At this moment, the middle-aged man next to him saw the lining and immediately looked delighted.
“Mr. Lu, what I just said was indeed correct. This should be the place where this combination lock suitcase was made! Look, the packaging and lining are still intact. They basically don't sell outside of town; they only sell locally to other villagers. Buyers usually have to wait a few weeks to receive their suitcases!”
After saying that, the other party excitedly picked up the bulging lining, patted it gently, and tore it open. Inside, it was empty, just a piece of ordinary foam.
Upon receiving this news, Lu Yuan was overjoyed. Meanwhile, the excavation work nearby was still underway, so Lu Yuan picked up a shovel and began digging around.
The excavation work went very smoothly, and five or six boxes were unearthed in less than two hours.
Although the box was filthy and had many dents and cracks from the various disasters, it seemed to be a new item that hadn't yet been sold.
The middle-aged man picked up several boxes and carefully examined the logos printed on them and the names of the manufacturers nearby. After seeing these, he became even more certain.
“Mr. Lu, I can confirm that this village is the same place I visited in the United States before!”
Lu Yuan nodded repeatedly, because finding one box might mean it was a chance discovery, and two boxes were not enough to prove that this was the village.
However, after finding five or six boxes in a few hundred square meters nearby, it was clear that this was the place the other party had come from, so Lu Yuan quickly put the boxes down.
"Do you remember the location of this town back then? In which direction in the United States is it located? What is the specific direction it leads?"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's question, the man pondered for a long time before finally speaking.
"It's been a long time, and after these years of disasters, I don't have a very deep impression of the past. But the place that I remember most vividly is that there seems to be a cowshed near the entrance of this village."
Because in the countryside of the United States, there are many people who raise cattle, but in this village, most people are engaged in handicrafts, and there is only one family that specializes in raising cattle.
I was previously invited to visit his cattle farm. If I'm not mistaken, there must be a cattle farm nearby. Once I determine the locations of these two points, I should know which way is east, west, south, and north!
Upon hearing the other party's words, Lu Yuan slapped his thigh in delight, then excitedly shouted to the people around him, "Brothers, quickly search the area within a 20-kilometer radius of here for any cattle farms or cattle bones. Report immediately if you find anything!"
After receiving the order, everyone began digging. Hundreds of people on the perimeter were digging into the ground with shovels.
Soon, deep pits appeared in the nearby ground. Due to the thick snow cover and the hard ice layer on top, the excavation did not proceed smoothly.
However, this is the best method so far. Excavating with equipment would likely cause significant damage to the surrounding ground.
Lu Yuan wasn't so much concerned about the land itself, but rather worried that using equipment for excavation might cause him to miss some details.
After a day and a night of digging, some good news finally came in.
