Huo Xicheng and He Zhendong are practically brothers, so He Zhendong didn't hide the fact that the He family had found Du Yuhan from Huo Xicheng.
Huo Xicheng was amazed by the strange twist of fate when he learned that Du Yuhan was actually the He family's long-lost youngest daughter. Du Yuhan saved her nephew and, coincidentally, also found her biological parents.
Huo Xicheng walked up to Du Yuhan and said, "Your second brother told me today that you should have gone back by now, but he found you here. Everyone knows how dangerous these mountains are, so it's no wonder your second brother is angry. You can't take such risks in the future."
Du Yuhan immediately saluted the two men and said, "Yes, sir. We will obey orders without question and will never risk going into the mountains again."
He Zhendong was amused by his little sister's coquettish behavior. He was angry because he was worried about her, but he couldn't bear to punish her.
He was overjoyed to see his younger sister again after only a few days apart, and he wished he could keep her by his side and take care of her. However, he was a soldier and had no choice in the matter.
Du Yuhan looked at her second brother and Huo Xicheng, weighed her options, and made a decision.
She looked around and whispered, "Are there just the two of you here? Aren't there any other comrades with you?"
He Zhendong found the younger sister's behavior a bit strange, but still replied, "It's just the two of us; the others are elsewhere."
Du Yuhan was relieved to hear that.
She whispered, "I discovered a secret. But I was afraid of danger, so I didn't dare to investigate. I was thinking of going home to tell my dad, but since you're here, I'll tell you."
Du Yuhan knew that Huo Xicheng was trustworthy, and having Huo Xicheng share the burden would prevent her second brother from standing out too much. Therefore, Du Yuhan decided to tell her second brother and Huo Xicheng about her discovery.
He Zhendong and Huo Xicheng exchanged a glance and said, "What secret have you discovered? Is it important?"
Du Yuhan nodded and said, "It's very important. Please come with me."
With that, Du Yuhan took the lead and walked back.
He Zhendong and Huo Xicheng could only follow suit when Du Yuhan said that.
Du Yuhan first led He Zhendong and Huo Xicheng to the pile of human bones, pointed to the skulls on the ground and said, "Look."
He Zhendong and Huo Xicheng looked in the direction Du Yuhan was pointing and were surprised to see many human bones in the bushes.
As soldiers, they immediately recognized it as human bones.
So many human bones are piled up here, and judging from the appearance of the ground, there may be more underground. It's clear that many people died here.
He Zhendong and Huo Xicheng were both shocked. It was indeed abnormal for so many bones to suddenly appear in such a remote mountain area.
Du Yuhan looked at her two shocked brothers and said, "I accidentally tripped over a skull and that's how I discovered these human bones. It's very unusual to find so many human bones here all at once."
I suddenly remembered what some old people had said about how the Japanese invaders used to conscript men and Chinese civilians to build fortifications and strongholds for them.
It's said that after some secret fortifications were completed, the Japanese would kill civilians to maintain secrecy. I suspected there might be some secret fortifications nearby, so I casually looked around.
He Zhendong thought his sister's words made a lot of sense, and asked nervously after hearing her say that, "So, have you found it?"
Du Yuhan said mysteriously in a low voice, "I'm not sure either, but I did find a suspicious place. Come with me."
As she spoke, Du Yuhan headed toward the cave.
He Zhendong and Huo Xicheng followed behind Du Yuhan with a mix of nervousness and anticipation.
They all felt that Du Yuhan wouldn't joke around with them; if she said something was suspicious, then it must be a major discovery.
The cave where the secret warehouse was located was not far from the human bones.
When Du Yuhan parted the weeds and bushes to reveal the cave behind, He Zhendong exclaimed in surprise, "If you hadn't brought us here, we would never have discovered there was another cave here."
The three of them entered the cave. However, it was too dark inside, and they couldn't see what was going on.
Left with no other choice, Du Yuhan had to use her backpack as cover to take out the flashlight from her storage space.
Soon, Du Yuhan led He Zhendong and Huo Xicheng to the large cave.
He Zhendong and Huo Xicheng looked around the cave but found nothing suspicious.
He Zhendong said, "Little sister, there's nothing suspicious here, is there?"
Huo Xicheng also looked at Du Yuhan, waiting for her answer.
Du Yuhan smiled mysteriously and said, "Your reconnaissance capabilities need improvement."
As she spoke, Du Yuhan went to the switch of the secret warehouse, dug at the dirt on the ground, and said, "Come and keep an eye on it."
He Zhendong and Huo Xicheng both gathered around to watch Du Yuhan digging in the dirt.
He Zhendong said, "You want to dig up the dirt, right? Little sister, get up, I'll do the dirty work."
Du Yuhan did as she was told and hid to the side while her second brother dug the soil.
With a sense of skepticism, He Zhendong dug a few times in the soil and suddenly felt something different under his hands. Upon closer inspection, he found it to be very smooth.
He Zhendong stopped what he was doing, turned around in shock and looked at Huo Xicheng, saying, "Xicheng, there really is something."
Upon hearing this, Huo Xicheng quickly joined He Zhendong in digging the soil.
Soon a metal disc-shaped object was revealed.
Then they found the pull tab.
The function of this pull ring is obvious at a glance. He Zhendong immediately pulled the pull ring with force.
Then the cave walls began to move, revealing the large iron gate behind them.
Looking at the large iron gate locked with a padlock, He Zhendong exclaimed in amazement, "My goodness, this is truly a huge discovery!"
Huo Xicheng stared at the large iron gate in shock, speechless for a long time.
Who would have thought that such a big secret was hidden in such a remote mountain cave?
Just by looking at the imposing iron gate, you can tell that something very important must be stored inside.
At this moment, He Zhendong and Huo Xicheng were both extremely impressed by Du Yuhan's strong observation skills.
Wasn't it because of Du Yuhan's meticulous observation skills that the human traffickers were caught last time? You have to admire that.
Seeing that the large iron gate was locked with a large iron lock, Huo Xicheng rummaged through his military backpack and took out a ball of thin wire rolled up together.
Huo Xicheng straightened a section of wire and then began to deal with the large iron lock.
A short while later, the large iron lock clicked open.
Huo Xicheng opened the large iron gate with a single effort.
After the doors of several warehouses were opened one after another, He Zhendong was speechless with astonishment, exclaiming, "Holy crap, this is unbelievable! We've actually discovered a secret warehouse! The weapons here are all unused. There's also a lot of ammunition, and even biological weapons. It seems this really was left behind by the Japanese back then."
Huo Xicheng stared in astonishment at everything before him, exclaiming, "This discovery is truly enormous. Let's look for any relevant information."
