Chapter 134: Lin Feng's Calm

~7 min read 1,248 words

"Old Wei, you're amazing! If it weren't for you, we might have been looking for days without finding the place."

Lin Feng lifted his shovel and dug, laughing as he spoke.

Wei Wu wore a sincere smile and said, "This is thanks to you, Brother Lin; my ability to locate caves by sound is still rough, only covering a few hundred meters."

"My grandfather's generation had people who could hear several miles away; standing on a mountain during a thunderstorm, they could tell where ancient tombs were, of course, the kind carved into mountains."

"Impressive!" Lin Feng exclaimed.

He had thought such things only existed in novels, but didn't expect they existed in reality.

Someone like that, just like him, must also be a prodigiously gifted individual!

Shu Jingya, standing nearby, said, "People in the past lacked high‑tech gear and focused on developing human potential. By today's standards, they'd be what people call Superpower users."

After speaking, she gave Lin Feng a deep look.

Lin Feng, that guy, is also a Superpower user, possessing photographic memory and strong analytical ability.

She can now say with 100% certainty that this spot where the Japanese buried gold is exactly what Lin Feng saw in her data.

After more than two hours, they finally scraped away the surface soil.

A patch of rubble was exposed.

Blast marks could still be seen on the rubble.

Lin Feng glanced at the nearby low hill, then surveyed the surrounding terrain, frowned, and said, "This should be the entrance to an underground worksite. The ground here is low; after blasting, the surrounding soil became loosened, and a heavy rain turned it into a mud‑rock flow that completely covered the area…"

After Lin Feng finished, Shu Jingya nodded, "That makes sense. The rail we just saw leads here. That track must be over ten li, with a railway passing through. But if it hadn't been recorded in writing, who would know there was an underground worksite here?"

Zheng Kai added, "The Japanese were good at tunneling. Back in the day, on islands in the Taipingyang, the whole underside of an island was riddled with underground works; even Mi Guo's naval guns couldn't hit them…"

When faced with rubble blocking the way, the only option is to blast it open.

It's the most violent, and also the simplest method.

After decades of development, blasting and explosive technologies are far more advanced than they were a few decades ago.

Wei Wu, a blasting expert, after more than a dozen small blasts, sent a mass of rubble flying, revealing a pitch‑black entrance.

After shining a flashlight down, Wei Wu lit a torch and tossed it down.

The torch went out quickly.

"If that's the case, we need a day or two of wind to ventilate it."

Wei Wu observed briefly and said.

Zheng Kai nodded, "Now that we've found the spot, let's clear an area so the Helicopter can land."

The seven of them began to hustle.

Two days passed quickly.

A large amount of equipment was brought in via Helicopter.

Diesel generators, lifts, medical protective suits, tents, weapons and ammunition…

In two days, a small Base was built.

Fortunately, this is a desolate, uninhabited area.

Otherwise such a commotion would have already alerted the noodle shop authorities and some armed forces.

No one knows how the Bei family negotiated with the noodle shop officials, and Lin Feng wasn't interested.

It was nothing more than spending money to bribe a few people, letting them turn a blind eye.

The pretext was either to eradicate remaining armed forces or to explore a mine.

Afternoon of September 28th.

Wearing a medical protective suit, Lin Feng rode the lift back to the surface.

The underground tunnel led directly to the neighboring mountain's flank, a small logistical base the Japanese dug during World War II.

Inside were not only vast stores of firearms, shells, artillery rounds, and poison‑gas bombs.

But more were wooden crates piled in a cavern, filled with gold.

Besides gold, there were also many cultural relics looted from Huaxia.

"You all take your time cleaning here! I'm heading back first…"

Lin Feng gave instructions to Shu Jingya, Zheng Kai and the others.

Tomorrow will be the 29th.

He has to rush back to accompany Qi Yao home for the Mid‑Autumn Festival.

"You're so calm!"

Shu Jingya stared at Lin Feng's composed demeanor, surprised.

She had thought that after finding the gold, Lin Feng would stay here until the gold was fully shipped before leaving.

After all, this is 500 tons of gold, worth several hundred billion dollars.

Even the world's richest person wouldn't develop greed over it!

This guy is actually so unflappable.

Lin Feng smiled and explained, "Anyway, none of this is mine; once it's shipped back, it just becomes a string of numbers in a bank account."

Gold reserves are important to a nation; their value far exceeds that of circulating currency.

After this batch of gold is shipped back, even if Lin Feng took the money, he'd have done a great service for the country.

Not to mention the many artifacts of research value.

"Alright! See you after the Mid‑Autumn Festival! Your steak tastes good."

Shu Jingya winked at Lin Feng.

Then she turned to tend to the antiques she was interested in.

That waist twist was so graceful.

After the first batch of gold was brought up, it was loaded with more than four tons of gold.

Lin Feng flew back with the plane.

The helicopter engine's sound grew louder, but the fuselage vibrated less.

Lin Feng was worried the helicopter's engine would stall.

If it fell, it would surely be smashed to pieces.

Fortunately, the Mi-8's quality was top-notch; after flying several tens of kilometers, it landed on a flat piece of ground.

Next, several dozen boxes of gold were loaded onto a large truck, and under the escort of many armed personnel, it drove straight to the airport.

This gold will be transported out of the country by cargo plane.

But Lin Feng had no need to take a cargo plane.

He bought a ticket on a passenger plane and flew straight to Xiangjiang.

In the evening, the plane landed at Xiangjiang International Airport.

Bei Yiren personally came to pick up Lin Feng.

Now Lin Feng is a distinguished guest of the Bei family.

After getting in the car, Lin Feng told the driver: "Let me drive! You go back first; I have something to discuss with Miss Bei."

Bei Yiren froze for a moment, then immediately gave the order.

Lin Feng got into the car and sat in the driver's seat.

Bei Yiren sat in the front passenger seat.

After glancing at the rearview mirror, Lin Feng placed his hand on Bei Yi's leg.

"What are you doing?"

Bei Yiren was a little flustered.

Lin Feng smiled and said: "I won't meet those people from your family; you accompany me to find a place to stay! I need to return to Yanjing early tomorrow morning."

Upon seeing Lin Feng, Bei Yiren felt both physically and mentally weak, unable to muster any thought of defiance.

"Alright!"

She nodded and gave an address.

Lin Feng started the car.

Bei Yiren said: "Just two hours; I must return within two hours, otherwise some people will gossip."

While speaking, Bei Yiren pressed her legs together.

Just thinking about what would happen next, she felt inexplicably nervous and excited.

Before Lin Feng, the Bei Queen had totally collapsed.
