The entrance to the secret passage.
Xiao Ran held the explosion-proof police shield in front of him.
Marvin was studying the wooden box mine placed in the groove, his expression very focused and careful.
Everyone in the basement and the live broadcast room held their breath, staring closely at the damaged antique landmine and Marvin's every move.
Everyone didn't even dare to speak out, lest something unexpected happen, the antique landmine exploded loudly.
Eighty or ninety years later, this wooden box mine has been preserved intact.
Except for a layer of moss and dust on the surface, there is no damage and it looks very complete.
The reason for this situation is entirely due to the environment here which is completely isolated from the outside world.
With the opening of this secret passage and the influx of fresh air from the outside world, the balance of the local small environment that has been formed here for a long time has been quickly broken.
There are inevitable traces of oxidation on the surface of this German-made wooden box mine, but they are not very obvious.
Fortunately, this wooden box mine is only eighty or ninety years old, not eighty or nine hundred years or more, otherwise the oxidation situation would be more serious.
It is even possible for a thousand years to occur in an instant!
Looking at the slight oxidation marks on this wooden box mine, Xiao Ran couldn't help but have a trace of worry in his eyes.
What worried him was not the German wooden box mine, but several other treasures hidden in the underground secret room.
Those treasures have a long history and have been hidden in this closed environment for eighty or ninety years.
Now that it is suddenly exposed to the air, some bad changes will definitely occur.
Just how severe this bad change is is still unknown.
At this time, Xiao Ran was unable to see through the underground chamber due to his location.
He can only wait for the moment of entering the secret room and accept the results of this change!
In a moment, Marvin had discovered something.
"Sean, this German-made wooden box mine is very special. It should be the prototype of a real wooden box mine."
"From this perspective, this wooden box mine is also an antique artifact, but this antique artifact is very deadly."
Hearing this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but chuckle.
"Since it is the prototype of a German wooden box mine, it does have certain collection value."
"After dismantling this wooden box mine, you can consider selling it to a museum."
"I guess some museums will be interested in it. This kind of thing is rare!"
After the words fell, many people in the basement, as well as many fans in the live broadcast room, chuckled.
With this burst of laughter, everyone relaxed a little.
Several people from the museum, including Thomas, nodded thoughtfully.
They understood that Xiao Ran was right.
This wooden box mine prototype does have certain collection value.
But what baffles them is.
Wooden box mines were invented by Germany during World War II. They caused huge damage to the Allied forces and were hated by all Allied soldiers!
Why did the prototype of this wooden box mine appear on this side of the Atlantic in New York? Why does it appear in this secret underground space? Used to set traps.
Who is the guy who set the trap with this primitive wooden box mine?
While they were confused, Marvin had finished his research and began to dismantle the wooden box mine.
Although wooden box mines are very insidious and dangerous, their structures are very simple and their dismantling is not difficult.
In fact, Xiao Ran was able to dismantle this wooden box mine.
However, he chose to hide his clumsiness and asked Marvin to defuse the mine.
Marvin stretched out his hands and carefully picked up the cover on the mine. The cover was the mechanism used to trigger the mine.
As long as someone applies enough pressure on the lid, the mine will be triggered instantly, and you can enjoy the wonderful taste of fried legs and crotch!
The moment he opened the lid of the wooden box, Marvin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then explained:
"This wooden box mine has been modified so that it can be used to set traps. Its trigger pressure has been increased and is estimated to reach more than ten kilograms."
"Another advantage of doing this is that it can ensure that this wooden box mine will be effective for a long time and will not fail quickly!"
"Obviously, the guy who modified this wooden box mine and used it to set up a trap was very scheming and a ruthless character!..."
While introducing the situation, he pointed to the two small wooden sticks on the wooden box mine.
Those are two small oak sticks that are the key to increasing the trigger pressure.
In the blink of an eye, Marvin had successfully dismantled the wooden box mine and pulled out the fuse used to trigger it.
Seeing this scene, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed temporarily.
Immediately afterwards, Marvin walked up with the scrapped wooden box mine and handed it to another bodyguard.
The guy took the wooden box mine out of the apartment building, sent it to the parking lot behind the building, and handed it over to a special person to guard it!
When Marvin returns to the entrance of the secret passage, the next step of exploration will begin.
Xiao Ran pointed to the spiral staircase at his feet and said solemnly:
"Next we will embark on this spiral staircase and go deeper underground. There are some things I must explain in advance to avoid danger!"
Marvin nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
After a pause, Xiao Ran continued:
"According to the treasure map I found, this spiral staircase is densely covered with various traps."
"Every step you take, you may encounter fatal traps and fall into a dangerous situation that will never be recovered!"
"Each step of this spiral staircase is composed of four granite stones of different sizes."
"Only two of them are safe, but the other two are where traps are located. If you step on them wrongly, fatal traps will be triggered."
"The arrangement of these stones is not fixed. For example, 1 and 3 on the first step are safe, but 2 and 4 on the second step."
"Wow! This is too exaggerated!"
Marvin exclaimed, startled.
Everyone else gasped as well.
"Holy shit! There are traps on every step. This is so fucking scary!"
"It's nothing more than a mountain of swords and a sea of fire! Xiao Ran, be careful!"
Senior Brother Cai Lifu exclaimed, not forgetting to remind him.
"The guy who set up these traps is definitely a lunatic. Isn't he afraid that he will remember it wrong?"
"What kind of treasure is hidden in this treasure? It's actually worth spending so much money!"
The fish that wanted to fly continued.
The deputy mayor of New York and Thomas who were staying in the leisure area all had frightened eyes.
Those guys from the New York City Subway Company, however, their eyes were shining with excitement, looking like they were gloating about their misfortune.
From their point of view, they naturally hope that Xiao Ran will never be able to dig out this huge treasure, and even hope that he will die deep underground!
In that case, they can find a way to buy back the underground rights, and then start from the abandoned subway to monopolize this unknown huge treasure!
Of course, these dirty thoughts cannot be disclosed to the public, at least not now!
While talking, Xiao Ran's voice came out again.
"Marvin, in the next exploration process, you must follow in my footsteps and not make a mistake, otherwise we will all be unlucky!"
"On this staircase, every time you go down a certain distance, there is a device to disarm the trap."
"When we reach the bottom, all the traps on this spiral staircase will be closed, and those who come after us will naturally be safe."
"Wow!"
Marvin exclaimed again.
"Understood, Sean, I will follow your footsteps and never make a wrong step."
Xiao Ran nodded slightly, and then changed the subject.
"You stand behind me, I'm going to experiment and see if the trap on this spiral staircase is still effective!"
"The method of the experiment is very simple. I will use the explosion-proof police shield to smash the rocks on the first step and try to trigger the corresponding trap."
"The way these traps are arranged, as long as we don't step on the steps, we won't be attacked."
"Just in case, I will use an anti-riot police shield in front of me, which is enough to ensure safety."
Hearing this, Marvin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, he stood behind Xiao Ran and quickly became alert.
The rest of the people took a deep breath and were secretly shocked.
Try to actively trigger traps and choose to fight head-on. This is too crazy!
Thinking of this, many people, including Elaine and Counselor Wang, were ready to dissuade him.
As a result, Xiao Ran took action before they could say anything.
He suddenly picked up the riot police shield in his left hand and slammed it against the first step of the spiral staircase.
"boom!"
With a muffled sound, the riot police shield hit the first step.
The location where the lower edge of the police shield hit happened to be the third stone on this step.
The moment the police shield came down, the stone covered with dust and moss suddenly sank down.
"Kakaka!"
Suddenly there was a jerky sound of machinery turning in the secret passage, which was very harsh.
Before everyone could react, several black shadows suddenly flew out of several holes in the walls on both sides, crisscrossing over the first step like lightning.
"ah!"
This sudden change shocked everyone.
Along with the exclamation, a harsh sound of gold and iron came from the scene, and there was a dazzling spark.
Immediately afterwards, four javelins flashing with a faint cold light fell to the ground with a clang.
Looking at the walls on both sides of the spiral staircase, there are two eye-catching white spots on each side, which are exactly what the four javelins left!
Seeing this scene, everyone in the basement and live broadcast room became quiet and terrified!
