Chapter 55 The Last Green Arrow
Early the next morning, Shi Quan had breakfast and returned to Highland 29 again.
"What about catching up with the big market?"
Shi Quan stepped on the brakes. Highland 29, where there were usually more dead than alive, was filled with diggers holding metal detectors. It could be seen from their attire that more than half of these people were professionals.
Who the hell says that Chinese people like to join in the fun? They should drag him to Highland 29 to have a look! The level of these idiots joining in the fun is not low at all!
"Captain Kirill, what are you looking for?"
Shi Quan rolled down the window and shouted loudly.
"Our star from Smolensk is here?"
Kirill held down the yellowed white navy hat on his head with his dirty big hands. He held a thick pipe in his toothless mouth. Even through the thick car door, Shi Quan could smell the old man.
Strong tobacco smell.
But don’t underestimate this sloppy old man. When Kirill was young, he was a veritable first mate of the Soviet Navy. Later, after the Soviet Union collapsed, the old guy came back to engage in shipping on the Dnieper River.
This is a truly wealthy man. As for digging World War II ruins, it is just a hobby of an old man after he retires.
When Shi Quan first joined the digging party, he learned his skills from this old guy, so he didn't care at all about Kirill's jokes.
"Old guy, stop making fun of me and tell me what happened here?"
Shi Quan simply jumped out of the cab and asked again.
"It's not the Soviet sniper your kid dug up who is causing the trouble!"
Kirill sucked the pipe that was about to burn out vigorously, and as thick smoke erupted from under the browned front teeth, he roughly understood the reason why his colleagues gathered at Hill 29.
It turned out that someone had leaked the news that the name of an inspector from the Battle of Smolensk had been found in the soldier plaque in the museum, and the same name was listed as missing in the files of the German Soldier Recovery Organization!
For these diggers who are good at bold assumptions and crazy verification, this clue is enough. All that is left to do is to find the body of the inspector at the place where they think the sniper was.
"What kind of treasure does this inspector have?"
Kirill nodded, "Political Conduct Inspector, the files of the Soldier Retrieval Organization record that it is a stall army sent from Berlin to supervise the war!"
With just this sentence, Shi Quan completely understood what this group of people were looking for!
What else can you look for?
Ring! SS skull ring! Saber! Gear army sword!
For any professional digger, if he can dig up a rank military ring, his career will undoubtedly have less regret and more glory.
Why do all the diggers want to dig up a gear military ring? It’s not because this thing is the treasure with the lowest probability of appearing in World War II ruins!
Basically every World War II German soldier who received a rank military ring will have the ring taken back after he retires, is demoted or is killed in battle. Even their family members have no right to inherit it because the taken back ring must be returned to Greece.
Lime's lair is under unified custody.
This has also resulted in the extremely rare number of genuine rank military rings circulating on the market, and each one has been sold at a sky-high price! Correspondingly, a large number of imitators have also been spawned.
It is hard for those who don’t understand to imagine that the largest volume of these counterfeiters is actually from a certain black market in China!
In addition to the mismatch in numbers, a large number of the rings coming out from here are almost fake in terms of workmanship or distressing! God knows how many stupid Russian bald heads these Chinese-made high-end military rings have ensnared.
You know, even if it is an internal transaction within the Digging Party, a real ring with a clear number and the name of the recipient can be sold for a high price of more than 7,000 US dollars! When this ring flows into the hands of the final collector,
The price has probably more than doubled!
If you could sell a fake ring for the same price as a real ring, the profit you would make would be terrifying!
Could this last green arrow be the burial place of this gear soldier?
As soon as this idea came up, Shi Quan shook his head secretly, this situation could not happen.
According to his previous guess, the Soviet sniper even took a large bag of soldier cards and Ruger pistols with him to prove his military merit. Then there is no reason not to bring the highly symbolic military rank ring or
Take the sword away.
From this point of view, there are two possibilities. The first possibility is that the so-called inspector is simply a fake character.
The second possibility is that even if the prosecutor is real, it is very likely that he did not wear the ring or sword or even received these two honors at all.
Shi Quan had no intention of telling Kirill his thoughts. After all, speculation was just speculation. If someone really found the ring and sword, wouldn't he cause trouble for the old captain?
"So that's it. Then I'll find a place to dig. Captain Kirill has time to drink together!"
"I will go to Ulla Antique Store in a while, remember to prepare vodka!"
Saying goodbye to the sloppy Captain Kirill, Shi Quan stepped on the accelerator and rushed towards the last green arrow in the map's field of vision.
Strictly speaking, the location of the arrow is considered the edge of Highland No. 29. Like most places outside Smolensk, it is tightly covered by dense forest.
Looking up, the blue sky is cut with cracks by the bare tree trunks. It is only spring. If the leaves grow in summer, you may not even see the sun when you walk in the woods.
When he was only a dozen meters away from the arrow, he had to raise his head again. This time the green arrow was on top of his head!
"Can't you change the color?"
Shi Quan gently patted the tall oak tree in front of him, which was as thick as two people's arms, and searched carefully among the branches with slightly narrowed eyes.
After searching around and finding nothing, I simply climbed up to the main trunk of the oak tree.
Shi Quan didn't learn much when he was growing up with his second uncle in Shijiatun, but he was definitely proficient in climbing mountains, climbing trees and fishing in rivers.
Although this skill has been put down for more than ten years, some of the foundation is still there. In addition, this is just an oak tree and not a poplar tree that only knows how to grow stupidly without branches, so it is naturally not that difficult to climb up.
It only took less than ten minutes for Shi Quan to ride hand in hand and foot on a tree fork that was as thick as his thigh. In front of him, there was a long tree stuck on the main trunk spread out like chicken claws.
A wooden crate with parachute cords still attached to it.
Maybe it took too long to wait for landing. One corner of the box has grown into the trunk of the tree, and even the swastika logo on the box has become blurry.
No wonder it's hard to see clearly under the tree. The bottom of the box has grown into the tree, and it's surrounded by thick trunks. If you don't look carefully, you can't tell the difference between it and the trunk.
Shi Quan didn't expect that the arrowhead this time was on the tree, so he didn't have many tools at hand. He now hopes that there are not many things in the box and is not heavy so that he can take it out at once, but he also hopes that there are more things in it so that he won't waste it.
Take a trip.
In his tangled thoughts, the multifunctional pliers in his hand easily pried open the decaying wooden box.
"Fuck!"
Shi Quan accidentally lost his grip and fell to the bottom of the tree along with his pliers.
He didn't have time to worry about pliers, because the contents of this wooden box exceeded his expectations!
mg34 general machine gun!
And it’s a brand new mg34 general machine gun that’s still coated with butter!
The most important thing is that there are three in the box!
There is no doubt that this was definitely a weapon box airdropped to the German soldiers who were holding on to Hill 29 at that time!
Without rushing to take it out, Shi Quan stood up straight and looked around. Fortunately, this place is located on the edge of Highland 29, and there are no traces of other digging party activities in his field of vision.
Climbing down the oak tree as fast as possible, Shi Quan ran back to the RV and started the car, ignited it, and drove the car in the direction of the oak tree as much as possible until the gap between the trees could not be passed. Then he hugged a large circle.
The rope climbed back up the oak tree.
After being exposed to the wind and sun for so long on the tree, the wooden box would have collapsed if it weren't for the forks of the tree holding it up, so Shi Quan could only take out the weapons inside and use a rope to pull it down bit by bit.
During the transportation process, I took inventory of the materials in the box. In addition to 3 brand-new mg34 general-purpose machine guns, the box also contained 3 spare barrels, 6 double-barrel drums with a capacity of 75 rounds, and 3 complete sets of maintenance tools.
!
In addition, at the bottom of the box are packs of 7.92mm machine gun bullets. Thanks to these bullets at the bottom, the rainwater that seeped into the box corroded them and covered them with green rust, but it also raised the height of the machine guns above.
avoid the same fate.
Shi Quan, grinning widely, ran back and forth seven or eight times before successfully moving all the finds except the bullets into the RV parked at the edge of the forest.
An afternoon full of surprises: 588 total collections, 950 weekly recommendations! Not only that, thanks to everyone’s votes, collections, rewards and interactions, when this round of recommendations ended on Sunday, both the computer and the client were even arranged.
Recommended!! In addition, I would like to thank Smiling Duke 1995 for the 100 starting coins as well as the friends who posted in the comment area for their recognition and suggestions. As a novice when I write a book, I definitely have various shortcomings and my own mistakes in terms of writing and storyline.
I didn't notice the mistake. Thank you for your patience and your comments. Finally, I will end this topic with a famous speech by Comrade Guan Hai: "I have a dream. I dream of being recommended by the "Global Digging Party" this week.
Chapter completed!
