Chapter 154: The Plan Begins!

At this moment, many viewers in the live broadcast room were posting comments in confusion:

【Nazi symbol?】

【Why is there a Nazi symbol here?】

【I don't know, but I feel like there's definitely something wrong here!】

【Impressive, I don't know what it is but it seems powerful...】

【Could this place be the Nazi's old lair?!】

【Good heavens, it successfully piqued my curiosity!】

【My god, there's actually a vault inside here...】

【Brothers, if nothing goes wrong, things probably aren't as simple as we thought...】

The bright red Nazi symbol came into view.

Looking at this scene before him, the corners of Chu Chen's mouth unconsciously revealed a smile.

It seems the System was right after all.

This place really is where the German Nazis hid their gold back in the day.

If nothing went wrong, they should have intended to use this place as a gold reserve vault, but plans couldn't keep up with changes; before they could even place the gold here, the war was already nearing its end.

Later, in order to deceive the public, the Americans and the Allies—those who reaped the benefits—directly hid the embezzled gold here and sealed it up.

That is the general sequence of events.

But some of the details, because too much time has passed, cannot be verified at all based on the information provided by the System.

However, these things are no longer important.

Chu Chen does not care what the Americans did in the middle of this, or how they found this vault!

He only wants to complete the mission quickly now.

As for the rest, after he leaves, there will be others to worry about it.

Right now, the Nazi Gold that has slept for decades is within reach!

It is hidden behind this wall!

To take it out, one can only use electric welding to destroy the 19-centimeter-thick steel plate in front.

However, this is not the main point.

The most troublesome thing is the alarm device in the vault.

Back then, to ensure the absolute safety of the gold, when they designed this underground fortress, they had corresponding considerations, connecting the water of the Limmat River with the vault's alarm device.

Once someone attempts to use external Force to destroy the vault, the water channels on the ground will open simultaneously, injecting the river Water into the interior; it would only take a short ten minutes to flood the entire vault.

At that time, the powerful internal and external pressure would leave anyone attempting to hijack the gold helpless.

The only way to crack this vault is to use a Decompression Chamber.

This thing is very hard to get.

Only military submarines and offshore oil operation vessels possess the corresponding equipment.

But Chu Chen had long been prepared.

Before officially starting the robbery, he directly spent a large sum to redeem a professional Decompression Chamber from the System Mall.

After getting the Decompression Chamber, he first borrowed the identity of a maintenance worker to transport all the tools used for this robbery into the bank in advance using a military truck.

This vehicle is now parked in the bank's warehouse.

As soon as the welders are in place, they can start working immediately!

Thinking of this, Chu Chen directly tossed a set of car keys to Bayer: "There is an armored truck in Warehouse No. 1, the license plate number is kh234, help me drive it here, I'll give you three minutes..."

As he finished speaking, Chu Chen slowly took a black remote control out of his Bulletproof Vest pocket, tapped a numeric key with his finger, and continued toward him:

"If you fail to return here within the allotted time, I will immediately detonate the bomb inside your Bulletproof Vest. Get going, Bank President!"

Seeing Chu Chen take out the remote control, Bayer's eyes widened instantly, and clutching the keys, he scrambled out of the vault and headed for Warehouse No. 1.

Three minutes later.

When he returned, the bank's emergency system was also successfully unlocked at the same time!

According to Chu Chen's request, Virgil immediately sent the Water Pump and three welders over to him.

Meeting again, Virgil also made a request to Chu Chen, wanting him to release half of the hostages:

"Mr. Chu, I hope you can carefully consider my suggestion."

Chu Chen shook his head and said: "There is nothing to consider, Lieutenant General Virgil. Now, immediately have your people send in the people and things I need. If you haven't acted by the time I finish this sentence, I will immediately execute a hostage!"

As he spoke, Chu Chen directly pulled over a blonde woman and held his gun to her temple!

Seeing this, the blonde woman screamed uncontrollably, begging incessantly: "Ah! Please don't shoot! I can do anything for you! I don't want to die!"

Seeing the blonde woman in this state, Virgil's gaze was heavy.

Although he looked calm on the surface, his masseter muscles clearly betrayed his teeth-gritting, and finally, leaving only one sentence, he left the bank:

"Mr. Chu, we will meet again."

After Virgil left, he let go of the blonde woman and casually picked up three Bulletproof Vests, tossing them to the three welders.

"Put on the vests, then hand over the metal items on your bodies."

While speaking, Chu Chen held a tray and slowly walked to the three men: "Before we officially cooperate, I think it is very necessary for me to tell you the rules here..."

"First, you must follow orders... The Bulletproof Vests you are wearing now are actually a type of Time-delay Bomb. Do not attempt to take them off; once its Heartbeat Sensor cannot detect your heartbeat, the detonator inside will immediately trigger the bomb..."

Just as Chu Chen finished this sentence, the three welders' eyes widened!

The next second, ignoring their strange looks, Chu Chen continued:

"Second, I know you are all Virgil's subordinates, but it doesn't matter. As long as you can do your own jobs well, I won't hold these things against you. But if anyone attempts to do things unrelated to work during work hours, all the hostages here will become your burial companions."

"Third, you must follow orders. If you don't, please refer to the second rule. Well, do you all understand?"

After Chu Chen finished speaking, the three welders nodded in unison.

Seeing this, he did not waste any more time and directly had the three of them take the Water Pump beside them, ride the freight elevator, and go to the basement level of the bank, preparing to immediately begin cracking the vault's pressure mechanism!

The method of cracking it was actually very simple.

As long as the tools were in place and they acted according to the pre-established plan, there would basically be no problems.

The only thing that needed attention was time!

To successfully crack this mechanism, they had to complete the welding of the decompression chamber within ten minutes, which was before the vault filled with Water.

Otherwise, the people inside would immediately die from internal organ rupture due to being unable to withstand the immense internal and external Force.

In other words, they only had ten minutes for the entire process; if they could not complete the welding within ten minutes, the mission could basically be declared a failure.

At that time, these three welders would also be trapped in this underground vault forever.

After explaining his plan to the three of them, Chu Chen picked up a pen and drew a circle at the designated spot.

"It's right here; if there are no questions, then start working. Remember, you only have ten minutes. Good luck!"
