Chapter 305 The Box Buried in the Grave



Seeing that Zhao Yulin refused to listen, Jiubao said nothing more. He returned to his hut and made some plain noodles with soybean paste for the two men to eat. Zhao Yulin took a bottle of water and went out again with the hoe. Jiubao stood in front of the hut and watched Zhao Yulin walk away without even looking back, and did not stop him.

When they reached the depths of the forest, Zhao Yulin took out a device similar to a signal transmitter from his pocket and installed it on his mobile phone. Then he pressed a special button and connected Cao Ganjing's phone.

This is a wireless phone specially developed by Cao Ganjing, which is specially used to contact teammates in an emergency in places without signals.

"What's wrong? What happened? How can you contact me with this?" Cao Ganjing answered the phone almost immediately, his tone a little hurried.

"Call all these idle people to the mountain for me. There is a mission. By the way, remember to ask them to bring some tools and food." Zhao Yulin did not answer Cao Ganjing's question, but said directly.

"Did something happen in Jiubao? How many guys are needed? Do we need to send a helicopter?" Cao Ganjing didn't quite understand the situation.

"What helicopter? The tools I'm talking about are shovels and searchlights. Come up and plant trees for me! Be quick! Remember to come quietly!" Zhao Yulin almost yelled, and was really defeated by Cao Ganjing's IQ.

"What? Planting trees?" Cao Ganjing held the phone for a long time without thinking. What trees are they going to plant in the mountains in the middle of the night?

After contacting the people and telling them that there was a mission, the team members who had been ready for the mission set off in the commercial vehicle sent by Cao Ganjing without saying anything. However, no matter how they asked on the way, Cao Ganjing could not tell them where they were going or what they were doing. He only said that the boss asked them to gather people with equipment, but did not say what they were doing.

When everyone saw that the equipment issued was a shovel, they were a little dumbfounded and felt that they had been deceived. However, Cao Ganjing left a few people and drove away, not giving Haolian Lingyun and others the opportunity to ask questions or return.

"Fuck, what does the boss want us to do? Is our mission this time to be an undercover farmer in this village? But what intelligence do we need to find out in this village?" Haolian Lingyun used a hoe to hoe the ground. He was used to playing with guns, but he really didn't know how to use this thing.

"Cao Ganjing asked us to quietly go to the top of the mountain and then track the boss. Let's go up and find Tianluo first." Lu Man carried the iron shovel on his shoulder and pulled everyone up the mountain.

When everyone tracked to Zhao Yulin's position and saw what he was doing, everyone was stunned.

"Is that Tianlan? Don't tell me he's planting trees on the mountain in the middle of the night!" Hai Qingzi shone a strong light at Zhao Yulin and saw clearly that it was indeed Tianlan.

"Why are you still standing there? We must finish planting these trees before the sun comes out. Come here quickly!" Zhao Yulin's shouting made several people believe what they saw in front of them, and they asked Zhao Yulin about the cause of the matter while walking.

Without explaining too much to them, Zhao Yulin directed everyone to work, and went to the side to drink water and rest. He smiled and watched these tough guys who used to kill people with guns and throw knives wielding picks and iron shovels, digging holes awkwardly one after another. He felt so happy in his heart, as if the depression that almost made him dry up after being exposed to the sun for an afternoon was released.

With the participation of everyone, when it was almost dawn, there were only a few saplings left of the mountain.

Zhao Yulin shouted for them to go down the mountain and rest, and come back to help tonight. Everyone protested with complaints, and Zhao Yulin knew that he would definitely not be able to find the shadow of these guys tonight.

But Zhao Yulin didn't care. If nothing unexpected happened, Jiubao would agree to go down the mountain with him today.

Zhao Yulin came back with a hoe before Jiubao went out. In fact, his time was just right, Jiubao had just finished cooking.

Jiubao was not too surprised to see Zhao Yulin coming back. He pointed to the still hot noodles on the table and served himself a bowl to eat first.

"There are still a few saplings left. I estimate that we can finish planting them by noon." Zhao Yulin said lightly, eating the not very delicious noodles in big mouthfuls. He was not very hungry. Haolian Lingyun and others brought him a lot of food last night. He ate until midnight before starting to work.

"Oh, you are quite resourceful. But after planting these saplings, I think I should buy another batch of saplings in advance to atone for the crime I am about to commit." As expected, Jiubao would not let Zhao Yulin pass so easily. Zhao Yulin smiled and said nothing, and continued to eat all the noodles.

"Is there anything else you want to do? Tell me all at once. I have limited time."

When it was almost afternoon, the remaining saplings were finally planted. When Zhao Yulin saw the neat rows of saplings standing upright, and thought that some of them were planted by himself, he really felt a sense of accomplishment.

"How is it? Do you feel a little comforted to see the results of your labor? Isn't it more interesting to give life than to take it away?" Jiubao looked at the large area of ​​saplings with a smile on his face, and his tone was calm.

"I am very proud, but if you want to give life, you must first not be deprived of your life. If everyone evades responsibility and lives in the mountains, our country would have been divided up long ago, don't you think?" Zhao Yulin threw the question back.

"Alas! I hate dealing with people the most. My IQ can't keep up!" Jiubao smiled faintly.

"I have one last thing to do. Come with me." Jiubao started walking with a hoe, and Zhao Yulin followed.

The two walked to an area with dense forests. Not far away, between two trees, there was a very high mound made of earth. There were some faded circles on it, and there seemed to be two or three offering plates in front.

This was obviously a tomb, and there was a wooden tablet in front of the mound.

Could it be that Jiubao's relatives are buried underneath? Zhao Yulin stared at the wooden tablet and walked in. When he saw the words clearly, he felt a surge of air rushing out of his chest.

"To commemorate my lost youth."

"Inside..." Zhao Yulin curled his lips without laughing, pointing at the wooden tablet and asked Jiubao.

"It's explosives. Dig it out."

Jiubao's words made Zhao Yulin gasp. Who would bury explosives and put them in a circle for worship?

Zhao Yulin and Jiubao dug up the mound of earth. A very dull knock came from the front of the shovel. Zhao Yulin knew that Jiubao seemed to have dug something.

The bomb in Jiubao's mouth was soon dug out. It turned out to be a small wooden box. The box might be the bomb he was talking about.

"Take it. Walk carefully. It might explode if it shakes even a little." Jiubao handed the box to Zhao Yulin, and without paying any attention to the dug-up dirt pile, he thrust the shovel into the dirt pile and walked away in big strides.

Zhao Yulin held the box in both hands and followed Jiubao carefully. Jiubao looked back at his funny expression holding the box and curled up the corners of his mouth.

Back in Jiubao's house, Jiubao tried for a long time but failed to open the box. He just said that he had lost the key and that the box could not be hit for fear of explosion. Zhao Yulin looked at the lock on the box. It was an imitation of Luban's lock. It was really hard to open without the key.

"Take it back and let Cao Ganjing figure out a solution." Zhao Yulin didn't ask Jiubao why he had to open the box. Since it contained a bomb, he was a bomb maker, so why not just make a new one?

"No. I once swore not to touch a bomb again. Now you want me to break my oath, so I must open this box and take out the things inside, otherwise I will never go with you." Jiubao said firmly.

It turned out that this box was the thing he swore to. Zhao Yulin nodded, "Okay, I'll think of a way."

"There is a time bomb inside. It only has ten seconds. Once the box is destroyed, it will explode without any time to think about how to crack it. And the power of this light bomb is not proportional to its size. If it explodes here, it can flatten a mountain. Ten seconds, you don't even have enough time to run away."

It turned out that the real difficulty Jiubao gave him was here. Zhao Yulin frowned slightly and thought for a while. "Okay, I'll take it to the other side of the mountaintop by myself. If it explodes and I don't come back, then you tell Cao Ganjing that all future missions are cancelled."

"Are you sure?" Jiubao frowned slightly. This man is really stubborn.

"Very sure." Zhao Yulin took the box and went out.

"Okay, my request is very simple, open the box, but don't let it explode for one hour." Jiubao started to prepare to cook, and Zhao Yulin saw that it was simple white water noodles again.

"Don't cook, I'll take you to a big dinner tonight, wait for me for a while, we'll set off right away." Zhao Yulin said confidently, grabbed the box and ran out.

"Haha, Tianluo, you're really not afraid of death!" Jiubao looked at the only half bag of noodles left, pouted and threw it aside. "I haven't eaten meat for a long time, what should I eat tonight?"

Zhao Yulin ran a long distance with the box, and then found a stone to put the box down.

When Jiubao dug up the box just now, Zhao Yulin had already scanned the box with his consciousness and could feel that there was a cold metal object inside. He didn't know if it was explosives.

"Cao Ganjing, do you know that there is a box buried underground in Jiubao?" Zhao Yulin asked Cao Ganjing for help, but Cao Ganjing didn't know what was inside and didn't have a good way to open it.

Zhao Yulin thought that if he smashed the box and successfully pulled out the fuse within ten seconds, there should be no problem. But Jiubao is said to be a bomb genius. Would the bomb he made allow people to find the fuse in ten seconds? The answer is absolutely no.

Zhao Yulin suddenly thought of the bomb dismantling scenes on TV, and shook his head with a helpless smile.

If you encounter a bomb, only a fool would think of defusing it. The troops would choose to evacuate the crowd or detonate the bomb on the spot. No one is really stupid enough to defuse the bomb.

If a good bomb designer does not want people to defuse it, no one can defuse it, because the risk and uncertainty are far greater than the danger of detonating and evacuating the crowd.
