As he read it, he froze. Wasn't this evidence of Commander Cheng's mistake?
This looks like... spoils of war?
The scene was completely silent.
Cheng Chao gave a cold, indifferent smile, then turned and left.
Now that this is settled, he needs to go find that wild girl; he doesn't know where she's run off to.
Simple stared in disbelief at the scene before him, then parted the small opening to reveal a completely different world inside.
The entrance was very narrow, but it was clearly just a cover.
Peeling back the walls, you find a solid wall inside. Peeling back the walls, you find a set of stairs that turn right and descend. Now the cave entrance is open, and outside, the autumn breeze is still warm, but inside, a chilly, eerie atmosphere rises from the cave. The contrast is striking.
After leaving the opening for a while, he simply lit a candle and stuck it inside. A few minutes later, it was still burning perfectly. Then he pulled up some tangled bushes to block the opening and carefully walked down the steps with a flashlight.
She had done plenty of adventures in her past life, and ventured into deep mountains quite often. Having also experienced time travel and rebirth, she couldn't quite explain her feelings towards ghosts and gods. However, she wasn't particularly afraid, though the darkness was indeed a bit creepy.
The steps weren't short; they were spiral-shaped, and the temperature decreased as you went down. I estimated it was at least two or three stories deep. I felt a chill run down my spine. Finally, I reached the bottom.
And then came the scene she was seeing now.
The area below the steps is quite large and spacious, and the depth is not yet clear, but looking through the gaps in the side and walls, it seems there is no end in sight.
Right now, the area was completely filled with tightly packed wooden crates, stacked one on top of the other.
Neat and tidy.
Judging from the packaging, you can tell at a glance that it contains high-quality products.
It's simple: someone who has collected more than one treasure, with a very wealthy background, is truly astonishing.
"My goodness, this is a real treasure trove!"
Just by looking at the scale and the packaging, the difference between regular army equipment and private equipment is obvious. The previous incident on the cliff in the back mountain and the incident when looking for Lin Jianshe were not even on the same level.
They were neatly stacked up to a height of about ten layers from the ground. Judging from how well the opening was sealed, it must have been a long time ago. Yet, there wasn't a single sign of them being crooked, damp, deformed, or dusty.
It's exactly the same as the one I just typed out.
It took a long time for Jian Dan to close her big mouth.
Now she understood what that person was thinking. With so much wealth, who wouldn't be tempted?
Even so, they didn't even try to kill their second uncle; they just sent him away from afar. Now, Jian Dan even thinks they're too soft-hearted. With that kind of wealth, even she wouldn't dare say she wouldn't be tempted.
Despite her thoughts, she didn't forget her current situation and quickly cleared out a space in the base to store the boxes into her spatial storage.
As she collected the items, she looked into the space and, combined with the faint traces on the gradually clearing ground, guessed that these items were not brought in by one person or in one batch.
The boxes closer to the outside are noticeably newer and not entirely the same size. The difference between them and the boxes inside can be seen even in the faint light of a flashlight.
My wild guess is that someone discovered this treasure, but for one reason or another, instead of moving it out, they made it their own treasure trove and brought in all their valuables.
In the end, nothing came of it, and now she's the one who benefited.
She collected everything as she went, taking almost half an hour to finish collecting all the boxes in the cave. After tapping and feeling around for a while to make sure there were no other hidden rooms, she turned and headed back. Only then did she have the leisure to look at the surrounding walls.
"Frog Fun!"
I wonder whose family is so generous. This cave wasn't just dug out randomly. There are many mountains here, and even when digging caves, people usually use the mountain walls as a base.
This is something else, the whole wall is made of blue bricks!
From a simplistic and superficial perspective, it looks just like the ancient city walls shown on TV, which makes one gasp in amazement. What a pity, this is an antique, a genuine antique.
Upon reaching the steps, Jian Dan's heart was still bleeding.
"Sigh, if only we could dig up all these bricks. Not to mention research, just using them as bricks would yield a lot. That would be enough to build a courtyard with five rooms."
She was just thinking about it. If she had nothing else to do, she might actually dig up a few pieces and put them in her space as a memento to prove that she had been there. But she knew the situation right now. She wasn't sure if there had been any changes on Cheng Zhuo's side, so she really didn't have the mind to care about these material things.
As soon as I stepped onto the steps, thinking of finding something to fill the hole, I suddenly felt dizzy and had a sharp pain in my temples. I couldn't care less about that for a moment and curled up against the bushes.
They didn't even notice the collapse around them.
She didn't know how much time had passed when she heard footsteps getting closer and closer, but she had no strength to speak or get up. She could only hope that the person was just passing by and wouldn't notice her, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to explain herself.
However, the bushes around her were quickly cleared away. The newcomer was very cautious, and upon seeing her condition, immediately became tense.
"What happened to you? Did you run into someone? Are you hurt?"
She squinted, seeing Cheng Chao's anxious expression. She breathed a sigh of relief and struggled to sit up.
"It's nothing, it just happened suddenly. I guess I was tired from not sleeping. How are you doing?"
Cheng Chao cautiously surveyed his surroundings, especially the large pit in front of him. The bushes above had been overturned by heavy objects and then fell back down, covered with a thick layer of fresh soil. If it were flat ground, it would be understandable to say that the ground had been turned over.
But why would someone come here to dig a pit, which is several miles away from the compound?
It's more believable to call it a treasure hunt.
However, the idea of finding treasure is rather far-fetched. People have lived here all these years without discovering any treasure, yet they think they can find it so quickly?
He was speechless; it would be hard to believe that this had nothing to do with his sister.
"You've come here to till the land?"
"Um?"
Simple and slowly recovering, her mind gradually cleared, and she was momentarily stunned upon hearing this.
"Turning the soil?"
Why are you turning over the ground, I…
Turning his head, he saw the newly formed large pit and was so startled that he took several steps back. He then stepped over the bushes to safety and asked in a terrified tone,
"Don't tell me I made all that noise?"
She seemed to have actually heard something collapse, but she was in so much pain that she didn't think about it.
Cheng Chao's lips twitched. Seeing that no one was around, he quickly led the person away.
"What do you think? Did I do this?"
