Chapter 534: Underground palace
Turning to the right from the arched corridor, there is a downward staircase about ten meters in length, with a small slope, and relatively gentle, leading directly to a three or four square meters platform below.
This is also an arched stone passageway, with a sensor-type emergency light hung in the middle to provide illumination. The light is already on at this time, the light conditions are not bad, and each level of stone steps can be clearly seen.
Here, Thompson also installed a pinhole camera to monitor the situation in the passage.
Fortunately, the old guy didn't lay black and white floor tiles here, which made Ye Tian's tight nerves somewhat relaxed!
Turning to the right, he did not immediately step down the ladder, but stood at the top level of the ladder, carefully observing the situation here.
This should be located directly below the Old North Church, and further ahead is the south gate of the Old Church and the underground space of Paul Rivera Garden.
Walking out of the platform below, you will enter the underground palace that you have seen on the surveillance screen, and the main body of that underground palace is mostly located directly under the Rivera Garden.
The person who presided over the construction of Paul Rivera’s garden probably also knew the existence of this underground palace, so he built a garden on it instead of building a building.
This can reduce the pressure on the top of the underground palace and keep this underground palace for a long time in order to reuse it. It can be described as a good intention!
Then Ye Tian turned his head and looked at the stone walls on the left and right.
There was an arched wooden door on each side. As for what was hidden behind the door, he had already understood clearly.
On the left is a secret room with six M16A4 automatic rifles, and on the right is a secret room with ten composite crossbows. The two secret rooms have nothing but weapons, so there is no need to go in and check.
The situation in the channel is not complicated, it is clear at a glance!
But to be on the safe side, Ye Tian still turned on the fluoroscopy and scanned the entire passage quickly.
There is no automatic rifle, no composite crossbow, no traps, it is safe, and you can pass with confidence!
Just as he retracted his gaze and ended the perspective, Matisse's voice came through the earphones.
"Steven, we carefully studied the surveillance video that Thompson passed here before. The passage is very safe and you can safely pass through. Below is the underground palace!"
"OK! I get it!"
Ye Tian replied, then stepped up the stairs and began to walk to the platform below.
The distance of about ten meters is fleeting.
Soon, Ye Tian was already standing on the platform at the end of the passage.
Entering here, the lighting conditions are greatly improved immediately, and emergency lights are no longer needed.
Thompson placed a portable generator and several sets of batteries in this underground palace to provide lighting. The start switch is on the wall on the left side of the platform.
After standing still, Ye Tian immediately turned around to find the power switch and reached out to close the switch.
The lights came on suddenly, and the darkness was directly dispersed!
The entire underground space was brightly lit in an instant, as if it were daytime! The vision has become extremely clear!
After adapting to the light a little, Ye Tian immediately turned around and looked at the long-awaited underground palace.
With just a glance, his figure stopped immediately, as if he had been subjected to a fixation technique!
And his face quickly showed an extremely shocking expression, his eyes were even more round, and he looked at everything in front of him dumbfounded!
Although I have seen the relevant monitoring screens before and have a general understanding of the situation here, when he was truly immersed and standing at the gate of this underground palace, Ye Tian was still completely shocked!
Not only did he behave like this, but Matisse and them were the same!
One of them counted as one. These guys who looked at the monitoring screen were all stunned at the moment, with shock and excitement everywhere!
No one speaks! Only a short burst of breathing can be heard in the earphones, and even a heartbeat can be heard, so fast!
At this moment! Everyone seems to have lost the ability to speak, and even forgot to exclaim!
What appeared in front of everyone at this moment was a dome-shaped building similar to the old North Church. The area was huge, and it was at least 1,000 square meters visually. It is no exaggeration to say that it is an underground palace!
But there are no decorations in this underground palace, let alone luxury. Looking around, almost all of them are white, the domes, walls, etc., simple and lively!
Under the white dome, there is a magnificent hall, about 40 meters long from north to south, and about 20 meters wide from east to west. It is almost the size of two basketball courts. It looks quite shocking!
There are six tall arch pillars on the east and west sides of the hall. Each arch pillar has an adult holding thickness and equal width. They firmly support the white dome above, which is very strong and strong!
Like the dome, these arches were painted white. I don’t know if it was made by the builder or the old guy Thompson had nothing to do!
The ground is covered with red square bricks, which are durable and look good. Although they have been preserved for hundreds of years, they are still in good condition and there is not much dust.
The overall environment of this underground palace is relatively clean. It is not like a dusty chamber that has been sealed for hundreds of years. Once opened, it will be dusty!
Obviously, thanks to Thompson, the old guy should clean it often, so it looks cleaner.
This is his most important lair. Every time you come in, you can't get a sullen face and go out, right? Frequent cleaning couldn't be more normal!
Moreover, there are also a large number of antique artworks hidden here, which also requires the environment, not too dirty!
Many places in the hall are empty, nothing, it looks very empty!
But at the southern end of the hall, there are many long wooden boxes piled up like a hill, and there are about a hundred boxes.
Because of the long distance, Ye Tian couldn't read the text and other information on these long boxes, nor knew what was inside.
But based on the characteristics and length of these long boxes, he instantly guessed what these boxes were, what they were in, or what they had been in!
If unsurprisingly, these should be crates used to hold guns, and it is likely that they are loaded with flintlock rifles such as Kentucky long rifles.
The dozens of Kentucky long rifles that I saw in the arched corridor before should come from here.
Thinking of this, Ye Tian couldn't help flashing a hint of joy in his eyes.
It seems that I can not only find a large number of stolen top antique artworks here, but may also harvest a batch of valuable antique guns. This is also an unexpected surprise!
Soon, Ye Tian moved his eyes away from these long wooden boxes and looked at both sides of the hall.
On the east and west sides of the hall, in addition to the tall arch columns supporting the dome, there are six rooms, three on each side, symmetrically distributed.
Each of these rooms has a door, and the door is quite tall, it looks like a warehouse door.
It is conceivable that the original purpose of these rooms is to store various materials or equipment.
From the tall wooden door and the width of the door, it can be seen that the area of these rooms is not small, and it is hundreds of square meters or even larger!
The two rooms on the east side showed a bright light from the door, while the other four rooms were all black.
The two lighted east rooms are the ultimate goal of his trip, the warehouse where Thompson hides the stolen top antique art!
Unfortunately, the old guy didn't install cameras in these two rooms.
Because of this, everyone cannot know from the monitoring screen how many top antique artworks are hidden in the room, and which outstanding works of art masters are!
But what does it matter?
At this moment, these babies are all close at hand and within reach!
As long as you step forward and open the two doors, walk into the two rooms, you can face the large number of top antique artworks hidden inside, and then own some of them!
What a wealth that would be! It is crazy to think about it!
Ye Tian woke up from the shock, his face burst into the brightest smile, his eyes became brighter, and he stared at the two rooms not far ahead!
Just now ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Time is not waiting!
Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately opened the perspective, and quickly looked through the road, the ground, and even the tall arch pillar closest to him.
There are no traps ahead, no deadly weapons, and the arch pillar supporting the dome has no possibility of suddenly falling down. You can move forward with confidence!
In the next second, he immediately took a step forward and walked into this underground palace.
At the same time, there was a burst of excitement in the earphones.
"Great! I finally entered this underground palace!"
"I don't know how many top art works are hidden here? It's so exciting!"
Hearing these sounds in the headset, Ye Tian immediately smiled and said:
"No matter how many top antique artworks are hidden here, some of them will belong to me, to you, and to our Brave Fearless Exploration Company. I am very sure of this!"
