Chapter 375: The Treasure-Hunting Team That Can Affect the Nation's Fortune

A mysterious figure suddenly appeared behind Zhang Dafo Ye, but Zhang Lin had yet to reveal his identity.

Judging from the conversation between the two, Zhang Dafo Ye was deeply astonished to see this person!

For a moment, the crowd grew even more curious—who could possibly make Zhang Qishan react this way?

Today's storytelling was truly very different from usual.

Right from the start, suspense piled upon suspense, making it impossible to stop.

Many viewers who could only squat and watch the livestream missed the earlier part and frantically fired off bullet comments begging for a summary.

But unlike before, this time not only did no one answer,

many people even told this group to quiet down for a moment—right now was a very critical moment in the story.

These questioning netizens were all dumbfounded—hadn't the evening storytelling session only just started a little over ten minutes ago?

How did it already reach its climax so quickly?

Zhang Lin, unaware of the stir outside, simply continued along with the story: "Facing the newcomer, Buddha Ye wore a look of astonishment, yet the man acted as if no one else were there, holding his bowl and squatting beside Buddha Ye."

"Then, in a quick, low voice, he said: I'll keep it short—brute force won't get you out. This is the Guizibing Society's treasure-hunting team. The camp you're in is only a small part of it."

"Next, the man used brief words to describe the environment Buddha Ye was in. After hearing it, even Buddha Ye was stunned."

"It turned out this so-called concentration camp really was only a part of this mobile military fortress."

"Surrounding the camp were the Guizibing Society's heavy machinery and weapons."

"This unit had very strong mobility—when necessary, it could abandon the burdensome parts and retreat directly with the important equipment."

Hearing this, Buddha Ye was already bewildered, because he had been in the camp for nearly a month and a half.

Even if he didn't understand what the Guizibing Society was doing, he had picked up a thing or two from the workers' chatter.

So he asked directly: Retreat? Why retreat? Aren't the Guizibing Society looking for oil?

Who would have thought that upon hearing this, the man laughed and said: Who told you they were looking for oil? Haven't you heard of the 'marine origin of oil' theory?

"After the man spoke for a while, Buddha Ye finally understood."

"The Guizibing Society had their own theory about finding oil, which was also the internationally accepted theory—in simple terms, 'marine origin of oil.'"

"Oil should all appear near coastlines; only in coastal areas is it possible to find oil."

"So the Guizibing Society's range for searching for oil had always been in the coastal regions of the Northeast and Xian Country."

"But this was the Songliao Basin, clearly not matching the range where they searched for oil."

When Zhang Lin said this, many people well-versed in history broke out in a cold sweat.

Many even changed expression and began discussing animatedly.

But on the whole, they were all discussing the issue of the treasure-hunting location.

Even in the livestream room, a bunch of people were posting "the more you think about it, the more terrifying it gets," and another bunch were offering explanations.

【This is simply too terrifying! I hadn't realized the location issue before. Now that Mr. Zhang mentioned it again, I finally understand what it means to be blessed by Heaven, Xia Country!】

【Huh? What's going on? I'm young and don't understand things from that era—is there a problem with the treasure-hunting location?】

【Actually, this is a butterfly effect issue, a chain reaction, because our largest oil field was discovered right in the Songliao Basin.】

【Right, the Guizibing Society's theory came from the Mi Country people. They all think oil should be born by the sea, little knowing that in our Xia Country, oil is 'continental origin of oil'!】

【So the Guizibing Society used this theory to search for oil in the Northeast for decades and still didn't find any. After victory, we went to look ourselves and discovered that the actual oil-producing location was only three hundred meters away from the range the Guizibing Society had marked out!】

【Holy crap! This is the first time I've heard of this—truly blessed by Heaven!】

【Yeah, later the Guizibing Society couldn't find oil with the 'marine origin of oil' theory and began shrinking the range inland, but by then it was already the moment of the great decisive battle.】

【Thinking about it this way really sends a chill down my spine. If this treasure-hunting team really was looking for oil, the consequences would be unimaginable!】

This discussion almost swept the entire internet.

After hearing that a large batch of Guizibing Society troops were excavating and treasure-hunting on the Songliao Plain, many people broke out in a cold sweat.

There used to be a theory about the impact if this oil field were discovered by the Guizibing Society.

The Guizibing Society would, having eased their oil and energy pressure, give up the sneak attack on Mi Country's ports.

Those two mushroom eggs would then not be dropped on the Guizibing Society's homeland, and the war wouldn't end so quickly!

In short, the matter of excavating oil on the Songliao Plain had an impact on the entire world situation.

No one had expected that listening to Buddha Ye's story in the concentration camp would give them such a heart-stopping feeling!

More people thought of the theory Yang Lu Si had mentioned earlier.

She said that sometimes official examinations, on one hand, select talent from the masses, and on the other hand, filter out those with bad luck, lest they affect the nation's fortune!

What is a nation's fortune? This matter of searching for oil is the nation's fortune!

……

Zhang Lin saw that everyone was discussing intensely, some even gesturing wildly as they spoke.

Their expressions held both anger and relief. He struck the wake-up block once to quiet everyone down.

Then he said: "Do you all have a feeling that it's fortunate this group was only searching for treasures, not oil?"

"Otherwise, modern history would have been rewritten, wouldn't it?"

Seeing everyone nod one after another, Zhang Lin chuckled lightly and said: "That's only because you don't know the full picture."

"If you knew what treasure the Guizibing Society was searching for, I'm afraid you wouldn't feel so fortunate in your hearts."

"What they're looking for, in a sense, can also rewrite history."

"Sometimes I can't tell whether finding the treasure has a greater impact, or finding the oil has a greater impact?"

"Because for us who have suffered hardship, some outcomes cannot be hypothesized."

"We of that time could not endure greater devastation—only victory could be salvation!"

Zhang Lin's words made the already quiet scene explode into an uproar once more!

Everyone was astonished by his description!
