Chapter 165: The Wealthy Bird

  The scorching sun was baking the ground, making it almost possible to cook an egg on it. The hot air seemed to have no moisture in it. In contrast, the air raid shelter inside was cool and refreshing. Although there was a musty smell in the air, no one would complain about the unpleasant odor because the team members knew how their comrades who were keeping watch outside felt - almost roasted!

  "MD, the weather is getting weirder and weirder. It's not even summer yet and it's already this hot. If it gets to July or August, will people still be able to survive?" Du Ziteng held up a torch, but kept talking to Wu Xiaotian who was observing their surroundings: "Look around, there are walls everywhere. Does the armory you mentioned really exist?"

  Wu Xiaotian didn't even bother to pay attention to him, and kept walking into the air raid shelter. The shelter had been abandoned for a long time, and as soon as he took a breath inside, he inhaled a lot of dust. But if people came here often, those military uniforms would have been cleaned up by military enthusiasts long ago, so how could Du Ziteng discover them?

  "Zi Teng, where did you find those military uniforms?" Wu Xiaotian could see the situation in the control cave clearly without the illumination of torches, while his teammates couldn't and had to use torches to light their way.

  Du Ziteng lowered the torch and shone it on the marks on the ground, realizing that these were the traces he and the search team had left when they last entered this air-raid shelter. He then turned his head to look at a mark on the wall beside him and said to Wu Xiaotian: "Just turn around the bend up ahead!"

  "Ah!" Wu Xiaotian walked forward after hearing Du Ziteng's response. After turning a corner, he found that what was in front of him didn't resemble an air-raid shelter at all, but rather a small warehouse. Inside, many wooden racks were arranged, with one or two sets of military uniforms scattered on some of the racks. On another rack, military supplies were piled up high. Wu Xiaotian walked forward and picked up a can of beef from the rack, sighing: "What a pity about these supplies! If only they hadn't expired..."

  "It's all sixty or seventy years old, if these materials haven't expired yet then that's a ghost!"

  Wu Xiaotian no longer cared about these supplies. If they hadn't expired, the several chefs in the convoy wouldn't have worried about the nutritional imbalance of the food. The nutrition matching of the military's logistical supplies was very reasonable, but dreams are always beautiful and reality is always cruel...

  Glancing around the walls, Wu Xiaotian didn't find anything unusual either. These walls were all the same, made of black bricks, and some of these black bricks were even covered with moss.

  "Clang, clang" Wu Xiaotian used the scabbard of his Tang knife to knock against these walls, he wanted to know if there was still space behind them. The other team members stopped salivating over those military supplies after seeing Wu Xiaotian's actions and followed him spontaneously, using the butt of their rifles to heavily knock against the walls of the air raid shelter.

  Before long, a voice caught Wu Xiaotian's attention. The accent was unmistakable, and Wu Xiaotian knew it was Lengzi without thinking. The thick Northeastern accent was unique to Lengzi in the team. All he heard was Lengzi excitedly shouting: "Tian Ge, Du Ge, I've found something abnormal!"

  Other team members listened to the movements in their hands, looking at this fool with envy, knowing that if the fool really found the entrance of the arsenal, they didn't know how Wu Xiaotian would reward him. Wu Xiaotian, who rewarded those who had merits, would never be stingy with his rewards, so they couldn't help but sigh at the fool's good luck, but they weren't jealous at all, after all, luck wasn't something that could be envied.

  Wu Xiaotian went to the foolish child and pointed at a wall facing east, then tapped the place with his scabbard. Indeed, the sound emitted from this spot was different from other places.

  "The thud, thud, thud" sound indicates that the wall is hollow. Although it's uncertain whether it's an armory for storing weapons, Wu Xiaotian still shouted to the crowd: "Everyone retreat!"

  After the crowd retreated, they all looked at Wu Xiaotian pulling out the blood-red Tang knife. When the team members saw the blade, they felt a chill rising to their hearts, and this chill went straight into their bones, just like standing naked in the snow being blown by the cold wind. But they knew that this chill was emitted from the Tang knife, not Wu Xiaotian, because they had experienced Wu Xiaotian's aura, which could make people kneel down and worship.

  Wu Xiaotian didn't know what the team members were doing at this time, and directly slashed out with his knife, cutting the black brick wall in two...

  The "crash" sound of the wall collapsing, entered the ears of the team members, but they did not see the scene behind this wall, because their line of sight was blocked by smoke and dust!

  "Cough...cough..."

  Wu Xiaotian, who had already covered his nose, was not paying attention to the teammates who were coughing. His attention was on what was behind that wall. After directly dispersing the smoke and dust, Wu Xiaotian saw that there was indeed another space behind this wall, which was exactly the armory they had inferred!

  "Hey, Lengzi, remember our previous agreement, come find me on your way back!"

  When Wu Xiaotian's words entered the ears of his teammates, they looked at him with envy, and he was still smiling foolishly and touching the back of his head. But Wu Xiaotian's words were not over yet. He only heard Wu Xiaotian say: "Each member of the search team will be awarded one merit, and the team member who unintentionally discovered this air defense cave will be awarded a first-class merit!"

  "Haha, you guys are jealous of me!" The team member who unintentionally discovered the air raid shelter laughed and said, because he felt that he was the luckiest person, no one was as lucky as him this time, not even Lengzi, because Wu Xiaotian said so, he was the first to achieve success!

  "This kid!" The other team members turned their admiring gaze towards him, while the silly fool beside him just grinned foolishly. The silly fool knew that this achievement was entirely undeserved, and he had no demands - whatever Wu Xiaotian rewarded him with, he would accept!

  Wu Xiaotian and Nuo Duziteng didn't care about the team members, they directly walked into the armory. The things placed inside the armory made them exclaim in unison: "We've struck it rich!"

  They got rich, because the arsenal was full of weapons and ammunition. Although most of them were useless to them, just a small part of the weapons and ammunition made Wu Xiaotian ecstatic. Boxes of ammunition piled up like small mountains, and rows of firearms emitted a cold glow in the firelight. These firearms, although Wu Xiaotian didn't know their names, someone in the convoy recognized them and would definitely use them, calling them out from dust and letting them play their original role, exerting their original power!
