Umbrella Corporation - Chapter 361

c363 Indians’ Secret Treasures

Boom!

In addition to shoveling or filling the uneven places, the work of leveling the ground also requires digging out the hard rocks and throwing them away. If they are too big to be dug out, flags need to be inserted to indicate.

Two months into the project, when it was almost completed, an accident occurred on the construction site.

Bieber, sweating all over, ran to the scene of the accident and saw the excavator stuck in the ground. He was in a very bad mood.

This time, the troubles came one after another. He was about to finish the work and take the money and leave.

If there was a big problem at this juncture, he would really collapse. I hope it was just a small accident…

The bulldozer came and pulled out the excavator stuck in the ground with the horsepower of several other excavators.

The driver was fine, and the excavator was fine after checking it. Bieber finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When he wanted to let people go back to work, he looked at the big pit that suddenly appeared, and then saw an uncovered dark hole in the corner of the piled up soil.

Confused, he pulled out a flashlight from his trouser pocket and shone it into the tunnel. It was not an illusion. There was indeed a dark tunnel underneath.

The workers around him also looked curiously and found the tunnel. Some were interested, while others just wanted to make money and finish the work.

Bieber was not really interested either. The work was about to be completed. They had been working for two months, but only half of the money from selling wood was taken. The other half would not be taken until the inspector came.

These Indian broken things were better for those people to have a headache.

“Bar, dig it up here and take a look. Everyone else, go away. Go back to work. It’s almost over!”

It would be a lie to say that he was not curious. Anyway, this place had collapsed. Bieber simply asked his workers to dig up the covering soil and take a look. After looking at it, they could just cover it up.

The crowd slowly dispersed, but the news that there was a tunnel hidden underground also spread among the construction team. There was nothing to do after work, and there was no way to relax except chatting. Of course, there were also curious people who kept running over to take a look during their breaks.

The bearded man was a member of the curious party. He had just finished pushing the soil and it was his turn to rest. He came here with a kettle.

Bal’s excavator was still working, and the tunnel was getting bigger and bigger. A tunnel that went horizontally was gradually exposed to the sun.

The bearded man who happened to come here handed Bieber a kettle. Seeing the obviously polished stone wall of the tunnel, he said casually, “There is such a thing under this mountain. This work is really weird. It’s like those adventure stories. Will there be any valuable antiques buried in it?”

“Ahem… Antiques?”

Bieber, who didn’t care much at first, choked on a mouthful of water. Looking at the big hole below, the more he thought about it, the more he began to connect the things that happened in this mountain.

The Indians prevented them from going up the mountain to work. There was a broken wooden house with bones. A group of zombies came in the middle of the night to attack them. Now there is a relic hidden under the mountain?

Could this be what the Indians didn’t want them to find? !

“Hmm?” The bearded man looked at Bieber in surprise and said, “Boss, you don’t really want to go in and take a look, do you?”

After saying that, he was also stunned. Thinking of the strange things that happened during this period, he suddenly felt that his joke might not be a joke.

The two looked at each other in silence, and then looked at the cave below. Their hearts were as hot as if they had been licked by several women.

If they really dug up some Indian antiquities, they might not even have to do the project after selling them!

Heartbeat!

Very heartbeat!

Working on the project is like working like a dog, and you can only make two thousand dollars a month. You can only buy a house in the city center after working for more than ten or twenty years. You will probably have a lot of illnesses when you retire…

If you can find antiques and sell them to make money, then…

The more you think about it, the hotter Bieber and the bearded man become.

They also know that there are so many people in the camp together. If they really find something, the engineering team will be disbanded. Those who don’t get the money may report to the Cultural Relics Bureau. They must share the money together to reduce the risk.

Moreover, the undead zombies have appeared. It is not certain whether there will be other monsters in the cave. It is better to have more people. With more people, the danger can be shared.

Those who are temporarily hired to stand guard with guns must leave. Those people are not our own people. They must not be allowed to know!

At night, after settling the wages of the temporary workers and sending them away, Bieber gathered people during the break and told them about the underground tunnel he found during the day.

Two hundred people are not small. They can form a group. They chatter and have similar ideas. Most of the people here are workers with low cultural level. It is difficult for them to live beyond the word money in their whole life.

Faced with an opportunity to get rich overnight, everyone is tempted, not to mention more.

If they can find two or three antiques in the tunnel and sell them at a high price, each person can get a huge sum of several thousand dollars in average!

If the harvest is large, then pour it with soil, it will be really unnoticed!

For a while, everyone in the camp fell silent and looked at each other.

Everyone reached a consensus, that is, to finish the exploration quickly under the cover of night, anyway, by now, the air underground was almost circulating.

Bieber asked the bearded man to lead a dozen brothers to move in. The cave was very wide, so they followed the conservative approach and left two people at intervals. If the path was complicated, they could return little by little.

The bearded man with a searchlight went down to the tunnel and walked forward carefully with several brothers holding guns.

The bearded man usually likes to read adventure novels and is also half an explorer. He considered a lot. In order not to be hurt by the possible mechanisms, he also took a long branch to explore the way and walked very carefully.

Such caution really saved his life.

When they saw the steep stairs going down, the branches fell little by little, and suddenly one of the steps collapsed, which scared the bearded man.

If they stepped on it without any trial, they would probably roll down the steep stairs directly.

The stairs illuminated by the light were estimated to be more than 30 meters below the ground. If they rolled down like this, they would definitely lose half their lives.

After this episode, the bearded man walked more carefully. These years of disrepair, the steps were compacted with soil, and too many places were broken. Many steps broke one after another, and it took more than ten minutes to get to the bottom.

“Shh… Blake, what’s going on?”

Bieber’s usual question came from the intercom.

Blake, or the bearded man, used a searchlight to shine on the road ahead and saw the wooden coffins embedded in the earthen walls between the corridors. He swallowed and said, “I see, there are coffins! One, two… five coffins!”

“Coffins?”

The leaky electronic sound of the intercom sounded strange underground.

After hearing the coffins, Bieber on the ground thought for a moment and asked, “Is there anything else?”

“There is still a road ahead, we have to go deeper.”

There was nothing on the wall except the coffins, but there were stairs leading down deep in the passage, and there were stone slabs on the road ahead, the ground and the walls, which looked more solid than the mud slabs they were standing on now, and more likely to contain treasures.

The bearded man was still in front, and the other people followed carefully with guns, pausing slightly when passing the five wooden coffins embedded in the wall.

Indians actually don’t have the tradition of using coffins, but the shape of these coffins is square, and it’s really hard not to be misunderstood in such a gloomy and strange place.

After stepping on the stone slab road, the bearded man felt relieved. At least it was not as soft as the soil, and it was not that the quality of the mud slab was really that bad, but they were more inclined to step on the rock slab for safety.

This downward stone staircase looks very solid, all of which are huge stones that are polished very flat and smooth. They feel cold when they step on and touch, and they feel especially safe.

They went down along this stone staircase and came to a place where they needed to turn.

Fortunately, there was only one underground passage, without a complicated structure. Following one road, they walked to the next downward staircase.

This seemed to be the last one. They went down the winding staircase and gradually found a faint light!

“Boss, we seem to have reached the bottom. I saw a faint light!”

Squeak… Squeak…

There was only silence on the other end of the intercom, as if it was too far away and could no longer be heard.

However, they also thought of the problem of the intercom signal being blocked. Bieber outside could not hear it, but the human transfer station left in the tunnel heard it.

“Boss Bieber asked what you saw?”

The bearded Blake didn’t know how to describe it. They came to a huge circular space, surrounded by many heavy stone pillars, and there were several huge stone slabs depicting human bodies on the walls of the space.

The characters on it were very simple, only outlined with simple lines, including a woman in gauze, a man holding a pen and parchment, a man throwing a javelin…

Why can you tell whether it is male or female?

Because of the curves, the female ones are all S.

They don’t care about these murals, Blake is most concerned about the treasure!

It’s empty here, let alone treasure, there is not even a single thing that can be moved!

A group of people were discouraged after finding that the bottom was empty, and the opportunity to get rich overnight might be gone.

Blake was not giving up. He stepped carefully on the round stone floor. After confirming that the stone slab under his feet was solid, he dared to walk to the edge and looked down at the gap between the wall and the stone floor.

Then he saw the bottomless cave and the gray-white mist that kept rolling. He was frightened by such a deep underground cave, and his legs softened and fell backwards.

“Ah!”

He was slightly afraid of heights and suddenly saw the dark and deep cave with no end in sight. He was so scared that even the wooden branches and searchlight in his hands fell out of his hands and fell into the cave below.

Watching the flashlight and branches disappear in his hand, the bearded Blake sighed helplessly, “Shit…”

Now it’s good. He didn’t find the antique, but lost a searchlight.

“Blake?”

“Are you okay?”

“Wang Defa? Down here…”

The other three people who were looking around in the space turned on the spare searchlights, worried about Blake’s sudden fall, and walked up to show concern.

After looking into the dark and deep passage under the circular platform, he was frightened and took a few steps back.

“Shh!

!”

Bearded Black had been listening attentively. His flashlight had been dropped for so long, but there was no sound of it breaking. This should be a bottomless pit, right?

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard a bang. It seemed that the searchlight had hit the bottom.

After careful calculation, there might be more than 60 meters below…

“There is nothing but a deep hole down there. Go back.”

Blake was always worried. He didn’t want to stay here anymore, so he asked to go back.

The other few people were naturally extremely disappointed when they saw that there was no money to be made, and they did not want to stay in this gloomy ghost place any longer.

When going back, passing by the coffins embedded in the wall, Blake suddenly and unwillingly stopped the other four people, pointed at the coffins and said: “The only thing left here is unseen, let’s pry it open and take a look.”

The other people who didn’t get any money didn’t refuse. They took out their daggers and hammers and knocked open the wooden boards stained with special adhesive.

Unexpectedly, the first wooden coffin they opened gave them a surprise. After the wooden board was completely smashed open, a skeleton fell straight out, making several people scream in fright.

But soon, several people reacted, and the searchlights all shined on the human skeleton on the ground that was tied together with something to prevent it from falling apart. To be precise, they looked at the metal spear held in its hand!

“antique?!

”

Blake looked at the spear with obviously strange patterns and felt the breath of the goddess of luck. He thought he would return in vain, but he didn’t expect the reward was waiting here!

“Take it, take it!”

Several other people were also instantly ecstatic, kicking the skeleton away, and then carefully holding the spear in their hands.

Naturally, they did not let go of the other coffins. In addition to the bones in the coffins, they quickly discovered to their disappointment that there were only three well-preserved burial objects, a book made of unknown leather and a metal water cup and an iron ring.

This is all I gained from this trip!

Bieber looked at the few things that Bearded Blake found underground, and felt happy. He raised his hands and cheered to the brothers in the camp who had been waiting for him for a long time: “It’s a harvest! We can take an early vacation this year!”

“Oh oh oh oh!

! “The two hundred people in the camp cheered and became more energetic.

There wasn’t much left in the project, but now it was given a new incentive buff by the antiques. Everyone wanted to know how much these Indian cultural relics could be sold for, so the work speed accelerated a lot.

The tunnel was sealed with soil, and two weeks later, they completed the project nearly half a month earlier than the original three-month completion time.

All the machines were evacuated from the mountain, and a group of people happily put up signs and returned to the town. They called the equipment rental companies and asked them to come and take away the rented equipment.

Bieber and the core members of the engineering team were inquiring about information and met an antique dealer, preparing to sell the Indian artifacts they found.

When he learned that Bieber and the others had found something from an Indian monument, the antique dealer immediately agreed to go and see it in person.

The antique dealer was still on his way, but the city officials arrived early the next morning.

In addition to antiques, this engineering business is also very important to Bieber. It is best to take over the subsequent construction tasks, so that no outsiders will find out that they have taken away ancient Indian treasures.
