With real-time intelligence provided by Lion, the few ships along the way were avoided in advance. When they were about to reach their destination, they stopped on the high seas, waited for dark before entering Philippine waters, and then quietly

Arrive silently at the uninhabited bay east of Tapa Island.

The place where the gold is buried is a valley, surrounded by the highest peaks on the island. Facing the sea to the east, there is a cliff more than 100 meters away. Not to mention that the mountain is deserted, even no one will come to the cliff.

.Entering the harbor, the warship was completely blocked by the extending mountains, and no trace could be seen from the sea or the island.

After parking the warship and lowering the anchor, Xu Ziling and his party all disembarked in their training uniforms.

"Cement pier? These dwarfs put a lot of effort into this place back then. It's strange that no one noticed such a big project." Ma Jiang said in surprise as soon as he set foot on land.

Xu Ziling raised his head and looked at the dock located in the middle of the mountain, and explained to him: "Dapa Island has inconvenient transportation, a small population, and was once occupied by pirates, anti-government militants, and the surrounding sea areas are not rich in products.

It’s so rich that no one wants to come here.

, In addition, this pier is well concealed, and most people will definitely not come so far to get to the bottom of it. Furthermore, even if someone discovers this place, they probably won’t take it seriously. After all, such a project in those years,

A lot of them have been built, just like the air-raid shelters in China."

This was indeed reasonable. Ma Jiang nodded and did not think much about this issue.

After grabbing gas masks, guns, and all necessary equipment, a group of people started heading to the treasure cave and took out the tablets they had prepared. Xu Ziling took the lead.

Walking to the end of the pier, he pointed to a corner of the cave wall covered with moss and said, "This is it." As he said this, he motioned to several soldiers with pickaxes to break open the cave.

The people following behind pushed a few steps away, and several soldiers stepped forward quickly. Without saying a word, they took up their pickaxes and smashed them into the wall. With a few "boom boom..." a hole was made in the cave wall.

A hole was exposed.

Ma Jiang bent down and looked at it, "Fortunately, we just used small stones and cement to create a layer. If we had used larger stones, it would have been difficult to break it open with our few tools. The cement has been used for decades, and it's actually

Not much has changed yet.”

Li Cheng chuckled and said, "Captain Ma, you still thought that the cement used by those short guys back then was fake. The technology at that time was not very advanced at all, but military cement would definitely be effective. Isn't there any in our country?"

Are military buildings from decades ago still in use?”

"That's true."

After everything was opened, a group of people waited for ten minutes to let the air inside begin to circulate, and then walked in.

After walking a few steps, Xu Ziling said to Yang Ruolan beside him: "You really want to go, the scenery inside is not that good."

The men had told the women before that there would be a lot of corpses inside and they didn't want them to follow them in. Unexpectedly, these women didn't take it to heart at all and said they must go in together, otherwise, this would happen.

If you go there, it will be in vain.

"Didn't I say that it's just some bones? What's there to be afraid of?" Yang Ruolan pinched Xu Ziling and was very dissatisfied with him for mentioning this again.

"You are looking down on us. Aren't we just bones of dead people? Just treat them like the ones the reading teacher used to bring when you were a kid." Tang Jingye yelled.

What kind of thing did the teacher bring? A group of people were stunned for a moment, and then they remembered the skeleton model that was used as a teaching tool in some course in elementary school or junior high school.

"Yes, yes, Zi Ling, you are looking down on our female compatriots." Ye Zi, who was holding Liu Long's arm, also shouted at this time.

…

Xu Ziling immediately stopped talking, wondering why these women were so brave!

Girls are usually scared to death when they see these things, so why are they not scared at all?

The cave passage had been closed for decades. It was very dry and there was very little dust. After twenty minutes, they finally reached the entrance of the cave, but the entrance was also sealed off like the other end.

Using the same method, he quickly opened it and a faint light shone in.

"We crossed a mountain!" Ma Jiang, who didn't know what happened, walked out of the cave and said in surprise.

"Well, the information records that the things were buried in the cave on the other side of the valley." Xu Ziling responded casually.

The valley is not big, and traces of artificial trimming can be vaguely seen. A group of people walked through the valley with lights on and came to a cliff. Li Cheng took the lead and walked quickly, using a machete to split open an unknown field on the cliff.

I saw a steel gate.

"This is it."

"It's actually covered with this kind of vines. If we didn't have any information, even if an outsider came here, he wouldn't know there is a mystery here if he didn't encounter the iron gate."

With the gold right in front of him, Ma Jiang became excited and quickly ordered his soldiers to cut away all the wild vines on the mountain wall.

These soldiers still don't know what they are going to do. For them, they just need to obey orders. A few of them waved their jungle machetes and soon cut out an open space two meters high and four meters wide, allowing the iron gate to open.

Part of it is revealed to the public.

"This lock is quite simple. Otherwise, we will be in trouble again." Li Cheng walked to the iron door as quickly as possible, picked up the gun in his hand, and smashed the old-fashioned lock on the door handle in two or two strokes.

"Come on, open this door." Putting down his gun, he called to a few soldiers.

"good."

There has been no maintenance for decades, and the iron door has become rusty. It took a lot of effort and everyone to push the door open through a gap.

"Okay, before you go in, let me emphasize that this mission is top secret. Everything you see and hear must not be leaked. If it is leaked, it will be dealt with severely. Do you understand?" The iron door opened.

Open, they did not go in immediately, and Ma Jiang also knew that it was time for him to come out and speak, so he quickly said to several soldiers.

"Yes, I understand!" Several people realized that this was a top-secret operation, and they couldn't help but get excited.

"Okay." Ma Jiang nodded solemnly, "The mission is completed, everyone including me will have first-class team merit, so I don't want anyone to slip up, show the spirit of our South China Sea Fleet people, I understand.

?”

"Yes, understand!"

In this era, first-class merit is very rare, and it is not only an honor, but also a capital for the advancement of soldiers like them. After hearing this, several people were excited and joyful immediately appeared on their faces.

"嗗嗗......"

Struggling to push the door fully open, the harsh sound was particularly harsh in the quiet valley.

Two people were left on guard, and the rest walked in together. About ten meters inside, there were two simple fortifications on the ground facing the cave. There were a few bones lying vaguely inside the fortifications, and they all still had guns in their hands.

The clothes on his body were torn and disfigured, but he could still identify them as the clothes of the island nation's army during World War II.

"Strange, why are these people pointing guns inside?" After a pause, Ma Jiang expressed his doubts.

Xu Ziling and others have known about this situation for a long time. Of course, they understand why this is so. It is simply that after the gold was hidden here, the Chapo army killed all the civilians and low-level soldiers who were captured to build this fortification in order to keep it secret.

"Ah...it can't be to keep it secret..." Ma Jiang said in surprise without waiting for their answer.

"You'll know if you look at it from the front."

Walking forward quickly, the strong flashlight shone on the ground. Even though Xu Ziling and the others had been mentally prepared, the scene in front of them was shocking: the ground was all covered with corpses, and the passage nearly a hundred meters wide was covered with

Okay, go inside and see how far it is covered, wherever the flashlight light reaches.

"Ah...how many people must have been killed at that time?" Ma Jiang stuttered a little when he spoke.

Xu Ziling felt Yang Ruolan holding her arm unconsciously and knew that she was still frightened. He squeezed her hand gently and turned around and said, "This place needs to be cleaned up first, otherwise we won't do it."

Go ahead and wait outside."

Even the men among them felt numb when they saw this scene. No matter how brave Yang Ruolan and the girls were, they felt uncomfortable now. After what he said, Li Cheng and others also realized that they were surrounded by

The woman looked strange and quickly agreed, saying to go out first, call some people over, and clean the inside again.

Reality was of course different from imagination. Several girls were really frightened and no longer spoke harshly. They nodded in agreement, and a group of people came out of the cave again.

"Call someone to come over and clean it up first?" Ma Jiang asked Xu Ziling.

"Well, let's call someone over. At least we have to clear a path. The weather is nice now, so we can camp here by the way." I was fascinated by the gold before, but now I felt that it was a bit ill-considered, and several people quickly asked him to call someone over.

.

Maybe they have seen a lot of the world, maybe it’s because of their family, maybe it’s because of the men around them, but Yang Ruolan’s girls are indeed braver than ordinary women. After leaving the cave entrance, a group of people chatted for a while, and they recovered.

Lost his usual look.

"When I was in college, the dormitory was mixed. There was a girl from the medical school in the dormitory. She often took us to see dead body specimens. At that time, I realized that I was not afraid at all. Today, it was really too much.

People with trypophobia are guaranteed to faint from fear, and my heart was pounding..." Ye Zi said mockingly to himself.

"Yes, the year before last? When I went to Switzerland, I saw many people being shot to death, and I didn't feel scared at all, but today I was really shocked." Yang Ruolan also said with a smile.

…

I really don’t understand women. I was scared to death just now, but now I can say it with a smile.
