Emergency Doctor Mercenary Road: Chapter 76 Treasure found in volcanic cave
Chapter 76 Treasure in the Volcano Cave
Tom spent 20 minutes reading Erwin's suicide note, his voice getting lower and lower, and finally even a little choked up. After reading it, he let out a long sigh and said, "What a pitiful person. He has experienced the worst thing in the world. His brother, wife, and children have all died. He has lived alone for most of his life, just for a sad promise."
"As the mortal enemy of the Germans, I can't hate him either. It's terrible to live on the island by myself for 35 years." Ada said with affection.
Lu Fei hugged Levery, who had been crying for a while, and comforted softly: "We will take his corpse to the treasure cave on the top of the mountain, bury him with his wife and daughter, fulfill his wish, and hope to have them in the next life. Let's live happily together. This is his last wish."
"Erwin loves Anna so much, so you should love me too." Levery nodded and Lu Fei agreed with a wry smile.
Bell was the first to recover from the sad atmosphere and said loudly: "We only have less than 6 hours now. Everyone, hurry up and head to the treasure cave on the mountain to buy time."
When everyone heard about the treasure, they swept away their decadence and agreed loudly. After the whole group, everyone walked up from the stone steps beside the thatched hut. Lu Fei asked everyone to empty a gun bag, put on gloves, put Erwin's skeleton in the gun bag, and took it with him.
10 minutes later, a hole near the top of the mountain with the entrance sunken in the mountain appeared in front of everyone.
The hole emits a strong smell of sulphur. Lu Fei motioned everyone to wait here, put on a mask, and walked in first.
The cave is very hot, the temperature is at least around 40 degrees Celsius. The cave is quite large. At first glance, the cave is obviously a naturally formed volcanic cave. A large number of iron boxes are piled up in the left side of the cave. Several decades have passed, and there is no rust. There is a small grave bag on the right front of the hole, with a wooden sign inserted on it, which is estimated to be the tombs of Anna and Alice. Behind the right is a pile of things covered with a rain cloth, and nothing can be seen at a glance.
Lu Fei immediately withdrew, introduced the situation in the cave to everyone, and asked everyone to wear masks. They could only stay for 30 minutes, and then they had to come out for ventilation. After 10 minutes of rest, they were fine before entering.
"Before we go to work, we need to confirm one thing, that is, so many counterfeit coins, is it necessary to bring them back to the ship? Is there any printing equipment to be brought back?" Bell asked Lu Fei and Tom.
Lu Fei nodded. This matter is indeed very important. It involves a large amount of handling. If counterfeit coins are not used, it is estimated that 90% of the workload can be reduced. He said hello to Tom and asked to pass the satellite phone and dial Bourne's secure landline number.
"Dad, are you with grandpa? We have found the treasure cave! But I have a question for you."
"Amazing! As expected of my Burn family, what's the problem?" Old Burn interrupted.
"The situation here is the same as what is recorded on the treasure map. There are many counterfeit coins. Including dollars, pounds, marks, as well as printing equipment and drawings, there should be valuable things such as gold coins. These counterfeit coins and equipment, it is necessary Bring it back?"
"I really consulted experts in the field of coin collecting. During World War II, both sides printed a large number of counterfeit coins, so the collection value of counterfeit coins is not very large, but the Germans have such a good collection of counterfeit coins still have a certain value. You guys Just take a box of each type. There is no need to take back printing equipment. Old antiques from decades ago are worth up to 100,000 US dollars? However, money printing boards and craft drawings can be brought back, and they have a certain value.” Old Byrne Said in the tone of an expert.
"I got it, I understand, thank you grandpa, I'll bring you a souvenir back." Lu Fei said a few more words to Bourne, and Tom also reported to him about the traitor Arnold. The two spoke softly and hung up the phone.
Lu Fei told everyone that there is only one box of all kinds of counterfeit coins, and other gold coins or real dollars, pounds, marks, etc. will be moved out of the cave, and no printing equipment is required. Leverley will take the money printing board and craft drawings. And asked Vasili to join him in digging up the graves of Anna and Alice.
After explaining the precautions and details, Lu Fei clapped his hands and said loudly: "Brothers, let's do this first, everyone works, there will be a reminder on the box of real money, Tom pay attention, everyone is moving the money."
Everyone agreed with a bang, put on masks and swarmed in. Lu Fei followed everyone into the cave.
Not to mention that everyone went in to carry the boxes, Vasily and Lu Fei went straight to the grave, put on gloves, took out the shovel, and started digging. Because the red soil on the ground has no moisture, it is particularly easy to dig. The two dug "kakaka" for a while, and in less than ten minutes, a wooden coffin was exposed.
At this moment, Levery came over with a box under the rain cloth.
"Honey, stay away, there's nothing to see about skeletons, it's dusty here, you go outside the cave first, the air here is bad, be obedient, be good." Lu Fei coaxed S.
Levery wore a mask and couldn't see her expression, but she shook her head resolutely and stood by the side. Lu Fei shook his head helplessly, motioned to Vasily, and the two jumped into the pit and opened the lid of the coffin together.
The coffin is very large. One female mummy is lying flat on its front, and the other small mummy is lying beside it. The female mummy is holding her belly with both hands, and there is an iron box the size of a napkin box in the middle of her hands. Lu Fei took it gently, the box was not locked. Lu Fei slowly opened the box with the handle of the flying knife, and saw that there was a golden piece of paper inside.
Lu Fei saw that there was no danger, he put on gloves and opened the box. Inside the box is a gold nugget in the shape of a triangle with a pattern and text engraved on it, but it doesn't appear to be a complete entity, but more like a part. There are more than a dozen red dazzling stones in the iron box, ranging in size. At first glance, they are raw stones and have not been cut. The remaining piece of golden paper should be gold foil, the size of a mobile phone, with text on the gold foil, still in German.
Lu Fei felt that this thing should not be known to everyone, at most the brothers of the wild fox, and it is not suitable to take it out now. If there are any other big secrets, so many people can't keep it a secret. He closed the box and put it into the space ring.
During the whole process, he blocked the sight of Levery and Vasily with his back, and he wanted to find out the situation before telling everyone.
Lu Fei took the gun bag containing Erwin's body, took the skeleton out, and gently placed it next to the female mummy, reuniting the family of three. Leverry crossed his hands and read a passage of the Bible lightly. Vasily helped Lu Fei to cover the coffin and began to scratch the ground. After 5 minutes, the tomb bag returned to its original shape.
Lu Fei dragged Leverry, called up Vasily, and went out of the cave to take a breath.
15 boxes have been piled up on the open space at the entrance of the cave, and everyone is already outside. There is no one in the cave. Bell called Lu Fei aside.
"The 10 small boxes are gold coins, all of which are medieval gold coins, and I can't understand them. The 5 larger boxes are for money, and the 2 are real. They are US dollars and pounds, and both have a face value of 100. Also There are 3 counterfeit currency boxes, namely US dollars, British pounds and German marks. The other 90 boxes are all counterfeit currency. Raphael opened them one by one. There is still a small difference between real money and counterfeit money, mainly because The paper is slightly different. He seems to be a banknote expert, and I swear and swear that those 90 boxes are counterfeit. Now the question is, we must ship these back, what to do with the counterfeit currency and printing equipment?" Bell said.
"It's definitely inappropriate to keep it here. One day this place will be discovered. We don't know whether this island is part of Bermuda, and Bermuda is British. You know, the British, in case. The rumors leaked, it would be troublesome to ask us to recover. Can I burn the coins and equipment?" Lu Fei said after thinking for a while.
"The banknotes can be burned naturally, but the equipment is not clean, and the German machines have the manufacturer and the German number on them, which is very troublesome to handle." Bell also frowned.
"I remember Erwin's suicide note that there is a place in the cave that leads directly to the magma underground. Let's go in and have a look." Lu Fei no longer bothered, he said hello to Tom, and asked him to organize everyone to transport the boxes down. He and Captain Bell went to the cave to take a look.
The two entered the cave again and walked carefully, and there was nothing missing on the ground. After walking a few steps, Lu Fei sensed that the more he walked into the cave, the hotter he became, so he quickly called Bell and went deeper into the cave together. Walking inward for nearly 30 meters, the temperature is getting higher and higher, and the two of them are sweating more and more. When the road came to an end, a red light appeared on the mountain wall ahead. Lu Fei walked to the end of the road and stretched out his head to look down. There was a bottomless hole underneath. He couldn't see clearly what was going on below, and only saw some red light. He took out the binoculars from the side pocket of his trousers and looked down.
The deep red magma is slowly flowing.
"Great, the bottom of the cave is magma, call the brothers, assemble the portable cart, push the banknotes and printing equipment over, and throw them all into the magma. This is the best way to destroy the corpse!" Lu Fei said excitedly.
Bell gave him a thumbs up and walked out with him. After a while, he came out of the hole and called everyone over.
"Now there are two groups of people. Wild Fox's people assembled two portable carts and went to the cave. Jack found a hole that leads straight to the magma. We pushed all the banknotes and printing equipment left in the cave into the hole, so that the The magma helps us eliminate the traces. Tom, you organized the FBI brothers to use long ropes and pulleys to hang the gold coins and paper money boxes along the mountain wall. You master the details yourself. Work together on both sides and strive for one hour, which is 11 in the morning. Point or so, and solve all problems."
Everyone agreed with a bang, and they acted together. Sure enough, the wealth moved people's hearts, and only the money can be motivated. Lu Fei took the wild fox into the cave and asked Levery to help Tom outside. It was too hot inside, the girl was sweating too much, and the hair and clothes were too rude. Leverry didn't insist this time, and it was her weakness to be good-looking.
Everyone is quick-witted, Ada loaded two big boxes on the cart, pushed the cart and left, Lu Fei also pushed a cart, Dewey had no tools to load, so he had to resist the one box and leave.
Captain Bell took a look at the printing equipment and found that many machines had wheels and could be pushed. Captain Bell and Vasily, two big men each pushed a device similar to the size of a sewing machine and stumbled deep into the hole.
"呯呯嗙嗙" a few loud noises, the printing equipment smashed on the rock wall, tumbling and falling. The two of them continued to go back to work without turning their heads. After 20 minutes, the printing equipment was pushed down. The last big guy had no wheels, and Vasily and Bell worked together to move one. The two big men carried the equipment over and threw it into the hole to hear the sound.
There are thirty or forty boxes on the banknote side. The two of them went over to help. Before the car could be pushed, they carried them on their shoulders. After a while, the cave was empty and there was nothing left.
Lu Fei checked the cave and quickly beckoned everyone to go out. The brothers and sisters were too hot, and their clothes were soaked through. After going out, everyone poured a bottle of water to slow down.
The progress on Tom's side is not slow. There are 15 boxes, and only 5 are large boxes. Tom and Leverry are responsible for operating the pulley block to lift the boxes. The other 3 people pick up the small boxes and go down the mountain. After 40 minutes , and the wild fox's people completed the work at about the same time.
Lu Fei and Tom checked and cleaned up the scene again, and asked everyone to bring their own things and tools and go down to the platform where the thatched hut was.
After 15 minutes, everyone and everything was piled up in the center of the platform. Everyone collapsed to the ground with exhaustion.
"Brothers, we are now replenishing water and eating some dry food, working hard, and getting hungry easily. After resting, we will continue to transport down. Today we will ship the things on the ship. Go home early and share the money."
Lu Fei's stamina was better than everyone else's. He walked around with Levery, who wasn't too tired. He mainly went to the cave where the machine gun was hidden, and found that half of the iron boxes were machine guns and weapons and ammunition. Half of the boxes were ashes, and it seemed that all the dead Germans were here.
Machine guns and rifles are out of service, decades have passed, and many parts are rusted. However, a Luger pistol was found, presumably the one that Anna shot and killed the two hapless escapees. The gun was smeared with gun oil and wrapped in a cloth with a bullet. It is estimated that the gun oil is only enough to maintain the gun.
Lu Fei naturally accepted it with a smile. This gun is a famous gun. It can be fired after decades, and it is quite collectible.
