#259 - Chapter 259 Good Guy!
Mount Liang.
Li Bowen was the first to step into the cave.
Since there was already some light inside, coupled with the flashlight's beam, he could see that it was a rather long corridor.
The ground still showed the messy marks caused by the previous explosion.
Team Leader Li didn't focus on these things; he was concentrating on the end of the passage ahead, guarding against any humans or zombies that might appear.
He slowly walked towards the end of the corridor, followed by several team members.
Reaching the end, there was another iron gate.
With the help of the light, he saw two handles and pushed hard. This time, the door wasn't locked!
After the iron gate swung open, it was still dark inside, and a chilling air rushed out.
He tightened his grip on the machine gun in his hand and waited outside the door for a full ten seconds. There was no sound or abnormality inside, so he threw a few more illumination flares inside.
This time, when he looked inside, he could see that it was actually a fairly spacious cave!
Looking at the blurry piles of boxes in front, most of them simply propped up with wood, and a small portion covered with tarpaulins or canvas, Li Bowen's heart trembled slightly.
The team members behind him also came in one after another, and their mouths widened in surprise when they saw the scene before them.
"Captain, there seems to be a switch here!"
A team member found some buttons that looked like switches near the entrance. After obtaining the captain's permission, he turned them on with a "click."
Buzz buzz buzz—
The lighting tubes, which had been dormant in the cave for who knows how long, gradually lit up, revealing the entire cave to everyone's eyes!
The internal space here looked like an ellipse, estimated to be one or two hundred meters long and wide, with a semi-elliptical ceiling at least ten or twenty meters above the ground!
"Those things..."
Many team members' eyes were mainly focused on the coverings piled on the ground.
Li Bowen didn't stand still. He stepped forward, walked to the nearest pile of items, and forcefully lifted it, revealing a wooden box!
Moreover, the wooden box was also marked with a string of letter codes that seemed somewhat familiar to him: HG-254-71-3.
He had seen similar things when he was a soldier!
In the past, during training, they would often bring in some decades-old stockpiled bullets and grenades for daily training consumption, and these ammunition boxes had this kind of numbering on their outer boxes!
He was excited and reached out to open the lid of the box.
Sure enough!
What came into view was a whole box full of golden-orange bullets!
A metallic smell wafted over!
"Good家伙!"
"We're... we're rich!!!"
The team members who came over from behind couldn't help but let out an excited groan.
The address given by the boss was really correct!
This was actually an armory built by China at some unknown time!
"Don't just stand there! Assign two people to guard, and the others open the boxes to count the ammunition!"
"After a rough count, we'll leave first! We'll drive over later to transport it!"
The team members responded with a bang!
Everyone quickly dispersed and got busy!
Looking around the interior, it was basically confirmed that there was no danger. If there were zombies, they should have rushed out as soon as they heard the sound.
Except for two team members guarding the cave entrance, the other team members went to open the treasure chests.
"Damn! This box is full of grenades! So damn many!"
"Damn! Mine is all 12.7mm heavy machine gun bullets!"
"Holy shit!! Look!! I have mortars here! And a lot of shells!"
What? Even mortars!?
In the past, Green Source Base did confiscate nearly ten of these treasures, but there weren't many shells. They had always been kept as treasures at the bottom of the box. They hadn't even been willing to pull them out for use during the last zombie tide!
"Yes! I opened a few boxes here, and they're all mortars! We're rich!"
With the team members exclaiming one after another, everyone's mood had reached its peak!
"Damn! Everyone, come and see what this is!?"
A team member asked in surprise. At his feet was a tarpaulin that had just been pulled open on the ground, and a ferocious metal device was revealed to the others!
A thick cannon barrel four or five meters long was slanting upwards at a 45° angle, with two wheels and a complex chassis relying on the cannon barrel, as well as two iron seats and several steering wheel-like steel rings.
The knowledgeable team members lost their voices after seeing it:
"Anti-aircraft gun!!!"
Yes!
This is a Chinese 25mm caliber anti-aircraft gun!
The team members didn't bother to check the bullets and ran over to watch this anti-aircraft weapon that they had never seen before.
"Awesome! Look at this cannon barrel! If anyone dares to fly to our base in the future, one shot will definitely turn them into渣渣!"
The male team members' eyes were wide open like glowing light bulbs, carefully touching the body and barrel of the anti-aircraft gun like stroking a lover, almost drooling!
With this thing, their Green Source Base can be considered to have officially possessed anti-aircraft weapons!
If there are really hostile forces coming in helicopters in the future?
Let them taste what is justice first!
"Everyone, don't just watch! Quickly count all the things, let's go back early and let the base prepare, and come back tomorrow to take all the treasures here back!"
Team Leader Li was also in a very good mood, but he couldn't forget the purpose of this trip.
They were only here to find the exact address and the authenticity of the target. Helicopters couldn't transport all the ammunition back; they still needed ground vehicles.
Just looking at these weapons and ammunition, there were probably thousands of tons of them. The helicopter's few tons of carrying capacity was completely a drop in the bucket.
The team members smacked their lips and reluctantly continued to open the boxes and get busy.
It took a full half an hour for everyone to simply check the types and quantities of weapons here.
It's possible that this was just a storage point for China's old weapons, and the weapons here were all relatively old models.
The number of pistols and machine guns was the largest, estimated to be tens of thousands!
There were also hundreds of heavy weapons such as heavy machine guns and mortars!
The most important anti-aircraft guns totaled fifteen!
There were tens of thousands of shells equipped for these heavy guns!
There were more than one hundred thousand other grenades!
There were also millions of heavy machine gun bullets!
There were tens of millions of ordinary pistol and machine gun bullets!
And it's possible that someone comes over regularly to maintain them, so these ammunition and weapons can basically be used!
A fortune from heaven!
"Okay, seal everything back! Let's go back to the base and report!"
Seeing that it was almost confirmed, Li Bowen took photos and videos of the place and proposed to return first.
Everyone reluctantly left the cave, pushed the stone door used for cover back to its original position, and found the previous dead branches to disguise it again, until the appearance was almost indistinguishable from anything unusual before they felt relieved.
"You come back with us too! We'll arrange something else for you."
Li Bowen didn't intend to let Wei Shan, a local, leave. At least this person couldn't be let go before the military supplies were moved back to the base.
Faced with the decision of the leader of this group of people, Wei Shan didn't have the courage to refuse at all.
If he dared to say "no", he would probably be buried here today...
The group quickly packed up and returned to the place where they had hidden the wild boar. They called Xia Yan, who had been waiting on a mountain nearby, and they took the captured wild boar and embarked on the road home.
