Uncle and the others followed behind also entered and saw the scene inside.
Just as everyone was marveling, Uncle's expression beca complicated. Based on his experience as a cop, so aspects of this place... reminded him of sowhere he had previously investigated.
Entering through the secret passage, they discovered a whole new world; the space was beyond their imagination, and the luxurious decor inside was simply staggering.
Luxurious, grand, wealthy!
The group continued to explore inside and found many rooms of varying sizes, but even the smallest was over 30 square ters.
Inside were bathrooms, bathtubs, and so strange props, but the most prominent feature was an enormous bed.
Even more so, in one of the rooms, they found a piece of cloth hanging from the big bed.
Seeing this, everyone thought of the movie "Due West: Our Sex Journey."
It seed they understood everything all at once.
This freaking...
Had they really thought they would find sothing in the secret passage, only to find this?
After a further search, they discovered a massive gambling den in a different direction in the hall, complete with mahjong, poker, and dice.
Wow!
They really had everything set up.
The group had to admire the creator of this base, soone had built such a villa on the side of a deserted hill.
Concealed by a hot spring on the outside, the interior housed high-end XX clubs and gambling dens.
This was truly a vast treasury.
The group found so cash in the gambling den on the right, filling nearly half a room; it was the first ti any of them had seen so much money.
But no one was interested.
Money had lost all its value by then.
It wasn't even as good as a piece of waste paper, at least the waste paper wouldn't jam and was smoother when wiping one's butt.....
Everyone felt a bit dejected; they had expected there to be more to the secret passage – maybe even the potential for firearms – but instead, they found a den.
There was nothing useful in this treasury, and after searching below and confirming there were no other secret passages, they returned outside.
The work of transporting supplies continued; there was actually a lot that could be useful from the items found there.
They kept transporting supplies until midday. The mountain also had its wonders – a natural hot spring pool.
After the recent rain, the pool had filled up again.
The group cooked on the spot with so of the food they brought along and prepared a simple al in their kitchen before sitting down to eat by the pool.
Li Yu opened two bottles of red wine found in the wine cellar earlier to relieve fatigue.
Everyone had a small glass each, just enough to quench their thirst.
After eating and drinking their fill, they resud transporting goods. The villa had many valuable items – food, tobacco, alcohol, daily necessities filled two large trucks.
And these weren't ordinary trucks; these could haul tens of tons.
The group thoroughly ransacked the villa for anything usable, filling up the trucks to the brim.
Then they prepared to return to base. As they descended the mountain, the trucks left distinct tire tracks on the ground.
Everyone felt a bit less disappointed driving back – at least they had so gains.
They set off officially at two o'clock.
On the road, the scenery outside the window kept receding.
Li Hang rembered the many things he had never seen before in the secret passage – the odd objects on the chairs, the rope above the bed, and various bizarres props.
Although he roughly knew what the place was for, he didn't understand the use of those props.
So, he asked Li Yu, "Big brother, how are all those things used? They seem so sci-fi."
Li Yu glanced at him and said, "Just drive, I don't understand them either."
The vehicles continued to forge ahead, crossing about 10 kiloters of uninhabited land.
Having left the base for several days, everyone was tired from being outside. Although they had rested, the constant potential for zombies to erge kept them on edge.
Everyone was longing to be back at base. Typically, that one wall didn't seem so vital.
But now, they felt all the more the sense of security it gave them.
Go ho early!
This thought was unanimous among the group.
So, everyone drove quickly. As they were heading west, they took a different route than the one they ca by.
So they had to follow the map.
Not far from them, separated by two mountains.
There was Harmony Garden, where a thriving community resided.
Though not populous, each person was busily engaged in so task.
So people from Harmony Garden were preparing to cross the woods back to the national road.
Suddenly, they saw a convoy passing on the national road.
It was strange – so of the vehicles even had trees tied to them.
This made them stare in astonishnt.
"Get down, don't let them spot us," said one of the older-looking n.
"Big brother, why do they have trees tied to their vehicles?" asked the younger boy, puzzled.
"I don't know either; maybe it's for decoration..." the older man guessed after thinking for a while.
"They've co from the east, now heading west... I wonder where they're going?"
"It doesn't matter, let's hurry back and tell Mr. Wang and the rest."
....
anwhile, the people driving on the national road were oblivious to the fact that soone in the mountain woods had seen them.
They sped past.
The road was sowhat special – as if soone had cleared it, which allowed them to speed up their journey.
"Tiezi, estimate the distance – can we make it back to base before sunset today?" asked Li Yu.
Li Tie pulled out the digital map, looked at it, and said, "We'll need about 4 more hours to get ho. It's 1:30 now, so we should reach ho around 5:30."
"5:30, that's about the ti of sunset. Let's hurry up so we can make it ho before sundown," said Li Yu.
He then relayed the ssage to the others in the vehicles via walkie-talkie. Hearing that they could return today, everyone began to liven up, as they all wanted to avoid another night outside.
The speed of the vehicles increased once more.
They roared by.
The roadside forests, revived sowhat by rain after a drought, were ignored by the group.
They were all eager to get ho and had no ti to enjoy the scenery.
Although they hadn't found any armant in the two places they visited, the supplies they had loaded onto the trucks ant the trip wasn't in vain after all.
