But who could have guessed that there were two more passageways at the end, and under the glare of the searchlights, neither side could be seen to have an end.

It was impossible to imagine just how large this place was!

Although it was summer, the temperature inside was extremely low; even wearing protective suits, they could feel goosebumps rising all over their bodies.

Standing at the fork, Captain Wang was conflicted. He turned his head and asked, "Which way do we go?"

Director Chen looked at Fang Yang: "Let's listen to Fang Yang!"

"Let's check the left side first!"

Captain Wang didn't waste words and walked in front to lead the way.

The passageway on the left was almost identical to the previous one.

Just as everyone thought this was another dormitory area, the cameraman suddenly exclaimed: "Brother, haven't you noticed that the spacing between the room doors here is much larger? And the passageway is also much wider."

Fang Yang looked carefully and it was true; the previous passageway was about 1.2 meters wide, and if you excluded the sewer, it was cramped even for two people to stand side by side.

But this place was much more spacious, with the spacing feeling like it exceeded 2 meters.

Furthermore, the room doors were also much larger than before.

When they reached the first doorway, the moment the light shone inside, they immediately saw countless large wooden crates stacked within.

The entire room was also much larger than the rooms they had seen before, one could even say it was several times larger.

The cameraman's voice trembled with nervousness: "What's inside here? It wouldn't be filled with something terrifying, would it?"

Captain Wang was bold and opened the nearest wooden crate without hesitation.

The crate had no lock and could be opened with a light lift.

When they saw the contents of the crate, their eyes nearly popped out.

Inside was a crate completely filled with long guns.

Fang Yang's system panel also popped up.

【Type 38 Arisaka Rifle / Arisaka】

【Bolt-action, internal magazine fed】

【Total length: 1275 mm, barrel length: 797 mm, total length with bayonet:

nearly 1700 mm, total weight: 4.1 kg, magazine capacity: 5 rounds, caliber:

6.5 mm, range: 460 m, muzzle velocity: 765 m/s】

【This rifle was finalized in the 38th year of the Meiji era in Japan, and it features a dust cover on top of the bolt that moves forward or backward with the bolt during ejection and chambering, primarily serving as a dust cover, hence it is known as the 'Arisaka'. Advantages of the Type 38 rifle: long range, high accuracy, easy to train new recruits, simple to manufacture, and effective in bayonet combat.】

Fang Yang said calmly: "This is the Arisaka used by the Japanese during the War of Resistance!"

Everyone was stunned. At a rough glance, there were at least a hundred long guns in this crate alone, and although a thick layer of dust had settled on them,

they still gave the impression that they were brand new and had never been used.

Captain Wang took one out, blew on it, and dust immediately filled the air.

"I've already had enough shocks today, but I didn't expect there to be an armory down here. It looks like these crates are all filled with munitions!"

【Popularity】+1+1+1+1....

——【Such a large underground military fortress—how many of our Chinese compatriots must have died here back then! While we cannot perpetuate hatred, we must never forget it. Back then, even with such poor equipment, as long as they were men, the Sichuan army went to the battlefield. Millions went out, and only a few hundred thousand returned. The world knows that the people of Sichuan, Hunan, and Guangxi wept for the nation, but they don't know that every household in Guangdong hung white silk.】

——【The villagers of this village would never have guessed that the reservoir they lived by all year round was burying so many toxic things, let alone that a massive underground military fortress was hidden in the mountains behind them. It looks like the little devils retreated in such a hurry back then that they didn't even have time to take these military weapons with them.】

——【This fortress is definitely a major discovery; it shows us the bloody historical evidence of the Japanese invasion of our China. Although I don't want to admit it, we descendants have an obligation to help our ancestors seek justice. The reason is simple: because the good lives we have today were bought with their lives.】

——【There are so many large crates inside, could they all be munitions? Could there be many poison gas bombs in there? I don't know if they've leaked after all these years. The underground ventilation shafts seem to be blocked off, and I don't know if the toxin levels inside exceed the limit. It's a good thing they went down wearing gas masks.】

Next, everyone opened the crates one by one.

Just as they had guessed, the entire warehouse was filled with munitions.

Besides the Arisakas from before, there were also pistols and a massive amount of ammunition.

It was fortunate that China was victorious back then.

Otherwise, how many more of these bullets would have been fired into the chests of Chinese compatriots.

Director Chen looked up at his surroundings and said with some emotion: "This munitions storage room must be at least 50 square meters! Let's go, let's keep moving forward!"

After everyone walked out of the room, they arrived at the entrance of the room opposite.

It was the same as before, filled with large crates.

After opening them, they were all the same long guns and ammunition as before.

After a brief look, they continued moving forward.

They walked for several dozen meters before seeing the next warehouse.

But the moment they walked in this time, everyone's eyes went wide.

Those two-meter-high shelves were lined up in rows in the room.

There were four rows of shelves in the entire room.

Every level of the shelves was filled with the same artillery shells they had seen before.

Fang Yang immediately stepped forward to observe.

Through the data provided by the system, he immediately blocked them with his hands and shouted: "Don't come in, move back! These are all poison gas bombs!"

Hiss~~

Captain Wang and the others were startled and quickly retreated from the room.

This place had been here for at least several decades; if the poison gas leaked, it would be no laughing matter.

Fang Yang used the searchlight to observe carefully.

The specifications of the shells were all different, with 107mm calibers, 122mm ones, and even larger 155mm calibers.

Fortunately, although this storage room was underground, the room was not damp.

None of the artillery shell casings were rusted.

Logically, the poison gas should not have leaked.

Each shell was engraved with a corresponding serial number.

Such a discovery was a bit hair-raising for the few people present.

After all, guns and bullets left there were not dangerous, but poison gas bombs were different.

Director Chen frowned: "We can't stay in this place for too long. Let's observe quickly and get out early to report the intelligence here."

Fang Yang nodded and continued walking forward.

The rooms behind were all munitions, and they were all heavy weaponry like mortars and machine guns, and there were even a dozen disassembled cannons.

After checking several rooms in a row, they walked all the way to the end of the path.

It was different from what they had imagined.

This place was not blocked by a wall.

Instead, it was blocked by rubble.

Beneath the stones was a staircase about two meters wide.

It was clear that this must have been an exit at one time, but looking at the situation, it was blocked very severely, the kind that couldn't be opened at all.

The group had no choice but to walk all the way back to the passageway on the right side from before.

The spacing of this passageway was the same as when they came in, only a little over a meter wide.

Everyone had some doubts in their hearts because this side didn't look like a munitions warehouse.

Then what was it used for?

After walking to the nearest room, Captain Wang took the lead and walked in.

Under the illumination of the lights, the room's furnishings clearly appeared before everyone's eyes.

It wasn't large, about 20 square meters.

In the middle was a huge platform, over two meters long and over a meter wide.

There was also a display cabinet at the entrance, on which were placed many small glass bottles; although they were covered in dust, if you looked closely, you could still see some unknown liquid inside.

In the corner, there was also a table, which was also filled with small bottles, as well as a file folder.

Above it was something like a ventilation opening, but it had already been blocked.

Everyone was very confused and didn't know what this place was for.

Fang Yang walked to the table in the corner, picked up the file folder covered in a thick layer of dust, and blew on it.

Then he used his hand to wipe away the remaining dust.
