When he walked to the door of the car, Gu Zhuo looked out. Now they were in a dense forest, it was night again, and there was only a lonely ruin standing there, which inevitably looked a bit depressing and gloomy.
He thought for a moment and called Sam to get out of the car with him. There was a dog by his side. Coming to a dark place like this made him feel more at ease than being alone.
Sam was called over by him, jumped up next to him, and got out of the car together with the dog.
After closing the car door, Gu Zhuo led Sam and walked towards the ruins.
Previously, he came here to explore during the day, and he was accompanied by several teammates who were also exploring. They searched the place carefully and found nothing. Therefore, Gu Zhuo still had some impressions of this place.
If he remembered correctly, before officially entering the ruins, there was a quaint small temple in front of it. The small temple was probably built during the Daoguang period, and there were no authentic Buddha statues inside, just some dated incense stands.
Sure enough, he and Sam had just taken a few steps forward when they saw the ancient temple.
Walking into the temple, although the temple occupies a small area, it is fully equipped with beams and roofs, so it can be regarded as a shelter from wind and rain.
Continuing to go behind the temple, there is a short set of stone steps. Going up the stone steps is a stone gate. Behind the stone gate are some broken city walls. Judging from the current situation, the defensive power of these walls can only be said to be very weak.
Speaking of monsters, even a few strong men can knock down the city wall if they bump into it a few times.
Gu Zhuo took a look at these dilapidated city walls and had to say that the environment here was really good. It was backed by a mountain and there was a river behind it. As long as the area in front was blocked, it would be an important place that was easy to defend but difficult to attack.
It's a pity that in ancient times, such a place could be used as a nest for bandits. In modern times, without the steel materials Gu Zhuo needs, it would be an embarrassing matter. What's more, he has no fuel.
Thinking of his two oil tankers again, Gu Zhuo felt angry.
I still have to think of a way to go to a nearby city to get some fuel back.
Continue to lead Sam along the city wall and walk to several watchtowers and a platform, making sure that there is no threat here.
No one lives here, and monsters don't come here for no reason. Gu Zhuo just checked around to feel at ease.
The entire ruins were only such a big place, and the only thing Gu Zhuo could rebuild were the city walls. After confirming the safety of the place, Gu Zhuo took Sam and wanted to get back to the car.
However, Sam kept shouting to one place, as if he had discovered something.
Gu Zhuo looked in the direction of Sam's shouting and saw that it was facing a tight stone wall behind which was blocked by many stones.
Although he knew that Sam could not answer him, Gu Zhuo still patted Sam on the head and asked:
"What are you barking at?"
Sam turned his head, looked at Gu Zhuo, then at the stone wall, still shouting.
"Damn it, it can't be haunted. I'm a staunch materialist! It's the end of the world, and those monsters alone aren't enough. Is it possible that A Piao is here to join in the fun!?"
Gu Zhuo let go of the rope holding Sam and saw Sam immediately running towards the stone wall. After running over, he kept leaning against the bottom of the stone wall with his nose.
Seeing this, Gu Zhuo felt a little strange. He walked to Sam and took a closer look at the stone wall, which was tightly sealed with many stones. He put his hand on the stone wall and felt its thickness.
At that time, when he and several of his teammates came here to explore, they only stopped here. Because it was impossible to break the stone wall with their strength, and the fortifications in front of the ruins were still poorly made.
After a while, several people concluded that even if there was a way to break open the stone wall, there would be nothing behind it.
At this time, seeing Sam sniffing under the stone wall, Gu Zhuo also had doubts in his heart:
"Is there really something behind this stone wall?"
Once this idea appeared in Gu Zhuo's mind, he had to put it into practice.
Today is different from the past. Gu Zhuo is no longer an unarmed ordinary citizen. He is now wearing a war machine. It is not particularly difficult to break open this stone wall.
"Sam, get out of the way."
Gu Zhuo asked Sam to stay behind him while he raised the pulse cannon in his palm and aimed it at the stone wall.
The pulse cannon was aimed at the stone wall. Gu Zhuo finished charging the pulse cannon and fired it towards the stone wall.
There was only a "boom" sound, and a large hole was penetrated by the pulse cannon in the center of the stone wall. The large hole was not connected to the mountain itself. It can be seen that there is really a large space behind the stone wall!
"There really is something!"
Gu Zhuo was shocked and delighted. He fired the pulse cannon three times in a row, blowing the hole in the center of the stone wall even wider.
After a large hole was blasted in the center of the stone wall, cracks continued to spread on the stone wall. Finally, the stone wall lost its stability and had a faint tendency to collapse.
Seeing this, Gu Zhuo quickly took Sam back a few steps. After they took a few steps back, the stone wall suddenly collapsed and fell to the ground. The space that had been hidden behind the stone wall finally appeared to Gu Zhuo.
In front of Zhuo's eyes.
It was a huge hall. It was dark inside and nothing could be seen.
"Sam, you are so good!"
Gu Zhuo patted Sam's head again. If it weren't for Sam, he wouldn't have known there was such a big place behind the stone wall.
After being praised by Gu Zhuo, Sam shouted several times with satisfaction, and then jumped into the hall behind the stone wall ahead of Gu Zhuo.
Gu Zhuo followed Sam into the hall. As soon as he entered the hall, Gu Zhuo kicked something.
He looked down and saw that what he had kicked was a skeleton.
There are some light yellow marks on the ground next to the skeleton, as if they were blasted out by gunpowder made from sulfur in the past. Gu Zhuo speculated that this tight stone wall was made by the skeleton during his lifetime. He thought
Seal this place forever.
"Damn it, what's in this, do you want to seal it up?"
Gu Zhuo kicked the skeleton frame and became more and more curious about what was hidden inside.
He went deeper, relying on the war machine, he could have a clear view of the scene here.
There were many boxes placed in the center of the hall. Sam ran to the boxes and sniffed inside the boxes.
Gu Zhuo walked to one of the boxes, and then opened the box with force.
As the box was opened, a puff of dust came out. It seemed that these things had been sealed in dust for too long.
Gu Zhuo saw that the boxes contained some gunpowder and firearms.
The firearms are the oldest batch of firecrackers. The skeleton shelf placed at the door may have been a good thing in those days, but it is nothing now. Gu Zhuo picked up a firecracker and weighed it in his hand a few times.
The gun had long been rusty, wet, and covered with water stains. It seemed that it was caused by the long-term low temperature in the cave.
After putting the firecracker back into the box, Gu Zhuo went to open the next few boxes one after another.
In addition to gunpowder, the next few boxes contained some spoiled and moldy food, some useless things such as plates, cutlery, and chopsticks. In addition, he actually found a small box of gold.
"Good guy, he must have been a big bandit when he was alive, and he still has such a box of gold!"
This was completely an unexpected gain. If it hadn't been for Sam, Gu Zhuo wouldn't have been able to blindly encounter a dead mouse and enter this unique cave.
After scanning the surroundings again and finding nothing better, Gu Zhuocai walked out of the hall holding the small box of gold.
With the war machine on his body and Gu Zhuo himself being very strong, it was not very difficult to lift this small box of gold.
After all, although gold can no longer be traded as a luxury product, it has extremely good ductility and conductivity. It is also used as a material in many high-tech fields, and can even be seen in space technology.
The existence of gold.
Holding the box and walking to the door, Gu Zhuo said to the skeleton:
"Senior, I will keep these things for you. Fortunately, you don't live in this era, otherwise, if these things you hoarded didn't fall into my hands, there would really be no need for them elsewhere."
Fortunately, the person listening to Gu Zhuo's words was a skeleton. If the soul of the bandit in his lifetime came back and heard what Gu Zhuo said, he would be angry all over again.
[Author's digression]: There are still many bandit nests left over from the late Qing Dynasty, and bandits generally like to build bases in various caves and caves. Unlike in the TV series, they really occupy mountains as their bases.
Damn it, although living in caves and caves is not very comfortable, people usually dig through the mountain and build a trail leading to the cave inside. Basically, as long as the difference in strength is not too great, people outside can't even think of forcing it.
Once you break in, it's really easy to defend but hard to attack.
But these caves, caves, and caves generally don’t have anything good in them, just some used broken bowls and plates, and at most a few worthless copper coins. What I’m doing here is artistic processing. After all, the protagonist of our book cannot just be
I walked in and walked around, but there was nothing there. Isn't that a joke?
And if there are really good things in the cave, they would have been snatched away by the officers and soldiers in the late Qing Dynasty, or by the surrounding residents. During that time, everyone was like locusts, wanting to grab everything they saw.
Just a handful, don’t think about leaving anything behind for future generations to pick up.
If there is a hilltop near your hometown, you can actually visit it occasionally if you have nothing to do. Basically, there may be trenches dug by bandits in the late Qing Dynasty. Although these trenches are very simple, bandits or fugitives hid in them at that time. If they drilled into the pit,
Basically, the officers and soldiers had no other particularly useful methods besides setting fires and suffocating them with cigarettes.
Although I write apocalyptic novels, it’s because I like apocalyptic novels and modify cars. But my personal hobbies are quite mixed. When I was a child, I also liked to go into the wilderness and go to college.
My previous application was also in the field of archeology. If you readers have anything to say to me, whether it’s about this book, history, unofficial history, or even any games or shows, you can tell me. I’m a pure omnivore.
Animals, you can see whatever you want. As long as you are willing to tell me, I will definitely be willing to listen and I will definitely be willing to respond to you.
And I don’t like to write anything particularly professional in the book. At most, I simply post some knowledge that I know. It’s just reading a book, it’s not a class, everyone wants to read it happily. I write happily, and everyone also reads it.
Not tired. If anyone has any questions about this book, you can ask them. Although I am a new author, I will definitely improve it.
