Croya was stunned for a moment when she heard the news. She didn't know how to decide.
Zhu Yu was only seven or eight meters away in the water. He said to Croya:
"Tell Eric that we'll be back in two hours."
"We'll go back in two hours." Croya replied according to Zhu Yu's words, "You can handle it on your own, we'll do it as soon as possible. Over."
Croya was also very happy. After all, if Eric found the treasure, he would also be able to get a share, quite a share!
Zhu Yu knew that he needed to speed up.
He walked into the water with a shovel. At this time, the water was still shallow, no more than his knees. He used the shovel to shovel under the water from time to time.
Croya was a little nervous, and then she saw the water reaching Zhu Yu's thighs and chest. She was so nervous that she was about to shout for Zhu Yu to come out, when she saw Zhu Yu suddenly sinking!
"ah--!"
Croya screamed and tried her best to rush into the water. Ran Jie, who was patrolling not far away, hurriedly ran over and held her back:
"Don't be impulsive! Our boss will definitely be fine, don't be impatient!"
Croya didn't believe it at all. She struggled desperately and shouted:
"That's a swamp..."
Ran Jie pulled her to the shore and said:
"It is precisely because it is a swamp that there is no danger. Generally speaking, swamps do not sink people in all at once. They usually disappear little by little. The silt also has quality. Only deep water will suddenly sink..."
As he spoke, Zhu Yu's head emerged from the water, holding a wooden board in his hand:
"I found something!"
When Croya saw Zhu Yu showing his head, his heart suddenly dropped and he sat down on the ground. Then he said in surprise:
"Are you okay? That's great, it scared me to death..."
Zhu Yu didn't expect that he would scare Croya. He just wanted to take out the things quickly.
In fact, after entering the water, I mainly groped in the mud for a while, otherwise I would have come out long ago.
"There is something under the water, and I think it is necessary to find it." Zhu Yu said in the water, "Don't worry, I will go down and take a look."
】
After saying that, he dived in again.
This time, the water was muddy and only the water was surging. In fact, Zhu Yu had already reached the top of the sunken carriage under the water. It was only two meters away from the water and there were still more than ten centimeters of silt.
In fact, if it hadn't turned into hard ground further down, the carriage and the golden statue might have continued to sink.
It's just that the area from the water surface to four or five meters underground is hard ground, which has not been softened, so it is impossible to go down.
Zhu Yu was very good at holding his breath underwater. He dug open the wooden board on the roof of the carriage, then grabbed the golden statue and took it back to the space.
Suddenly there was something missing under the water, and the water suddenly surged down.
Fortunately, for this deep water area, this amount of water is not enough to cause any consequences. Next is the box of gold coins in the second carriage.
After Zhu Yu swam over, he considered not to raise more suspicions from above. He just determined the location, then took off a rusty metal ornament from the carriage, and then floated up.
It was a bit cold under the water, and although Zhu Yu's constitution would not make him sick, he still felt uncomfortable.
In addition, the underwater creatures were also disturbed, and fish and other things were scurrying around, which also made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Seeing Zhu Yu reveal his head, Croya asked hurriedly:
"How are you? The water is very cold. Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"It's okay." Zhu Yu threw the pendant onto the shore and said, "There should be a carriage down there. Let me see if I can fish out something else. By the way, give me a roll of rope."
Ran Jie threw a roll of rope to him and planned to go into the water with him.
"Don't come down, stay on guard on the shore." Zhu Yu waved his hands hurriedly, but Ran Jie didn't know the place, didn't have a sky eye, and didn't bring any diving equipment, so coming down would only cause trouble.
Ran Jie obeyed the order, and Zhu Yu dived down again with the rope.
On the shore, Croya slowly cleaned the dirt off the silver pendant, and then carefully observed the patterns on it.
Zhu Yu dived into the water and came to the top of the carriage. He closed his eyes and relied solely on his heavenly eyes to peel away the mud and reveal the big box containing gold coins.
The box was made of iron-clad wood. Zhu Yu knocked on the wood. Because it was hardwood, it didn't feel rotten, so it should be able to withstand it.
He tied the rope to the handle of the box and began cleaning the mud around the box.
Fortunately, the carriage was completely sunken, and the mud around it was still superficial. A simple cleaning revealed the bottom.
Zhu Yu pulled the rope up to the water, and then tried to pull it. It felt okay, so he threw the rope ashore and said to Ran Jie:
"You try to pull it out, I will move underwater to see if I can pull it out."
Water has buoyancy. Although the box and the gold coins weigh one or two hundred kilograms, it is not that heavy if there is water.
Zhu Yu went into the water again and felt Ran Jie straighten the rope, and he immediately started to float up holding the box.
Yes, there is movement!
The box rose almost half a meter, and suddenly the rope pulled the handle and half of the box lid away!
Then the box fell again.
Zhu Yu smiled bitterly, forget it. Take out the gold coins.
He surfaced, then asked Ran Jie to throw over a backpack, and dived to take out the gold coins from the box.
At this moment, the voice came from the intercom again:
"Hurry up! Soldiers are showing up! I can't do it here... I can't do it! They are coming! Save me!"
Then the intercom turns off!
When Zhu Yu appeared with a backpack of gold coins, the last sentence on the intercom had just finished!
there is a problem!
Zhu Yu immediately went ashore with his backpack and asked:
"what's the situation?"
Croya immediately explained the situation:
"Fandrick is in danger! What should we do?"
"Let's go back!" Zhu Yu said to Ran Jie: "Hurry up and call Qin Fei and the others back. I will catch you again before I can catch you back."
He then said to Croix:
"Look at the things here and shout if anything happens. I'll come out as soon as I get down!"
While Zhu Yu was diving again, Ran Jie went to call Qin Fei and the others.
Croya was very anxious when he saw Zhu Yu entering the water.
In the past, she had always regarded herself as an independent woman and did not need help from men for anything.
That's why he willfully refused to let Eric send mercenaries to follow him.
However, in that encounter, the God of Death almost came face to face with him, and not only did he die, but he also faced humiliation, which made Croya clearly realize his own weakness.
Now that Vandrick was in danger again, Croya found that he could do nothing.
Although Fandrick's woman put herself in danger, now that her teammates are in danger, she won't take her anger out on Fandrick.
But what should we do now?
Zhu Yu dived down and put another backpack full of gold coins, then put all the remaining gold coins into the space before coming up.
Here, he has no plans to come back, it's too dangerous!
Seeing Zhu Yu appear, Croya seemed to have found his backbone, and he had everything to do with him.
Zhu Yu changed his clothes behind the big tree, and then divided the gold into four parts. He and Ran Jie put one part in each backpack.
When Ran Jie asked Qin Fei to come back and join them, they immediately picked up their backpacks and headed towards the way they came.
Crossing the river in the same way, gunshots were heard not far away on the left side of the river.
"Speed up the pace!" Zhu Yu said in a deep voice, "Don't stop!"
Croya was a little panicked when he heard the gunfire. Fortunately, Ran Jie and the other two people held guns to protect Zhu Yu and her. With a sense of security, they slowly regained their composure.
Zhu Yu's hearing allowed them to constantly adjust their direction to avoid possible dangers.
Because I was afraid of something happening, even eating was only done with a short break of half an hour.
Even so, by the time we reached the base camp, it was already dark.
There were only two mercenaries guarding here. Seeing Zhu Yu, one of the mercenaries said:
"Mr. Eric took people to find Vandrick. He said that if you come back, wait here."
Zhu Yu knew that he didn't know the situation there now and it was not appropriate to go there, so he said to the others:
"Well, let's rest first, eat something, and recharge our batteries. If we are needed then, we can dispatch quickly."
With his instructions, Ran Jie and others immediately put down their backpacks and began to rest.
There was no need or mood to cook, so they still ate fast food.
Croya held a bowl next to Zhu Yu and said with some worry:
"I don't know who they will encounter or whether they will be in danger..."
In fact, 80% of the time it is dangerous, but the extent of the danger is unknown.
Because of the previous attack on Croya, Fandrick took two mercenaries with him when he set out, so he at least had a certain ability to protect himself.
But in this war-torn area, no one can say that they will be able to return safely.
The wait is two hours.
Because of the sudden incident and the lesson learned from Croya's attack, Zhu Yu and the others did not dare to communicate through the walkie-talkie.
Two hours later, the intercom rang suddenly, and Eric's voice came out:
"This is Eric. Zhu Yu, Croya, are you there?"
"This is the base camp." Zhu Yu picked up the walkie-talkie and replied immediately, "I am Zhu Yu. Croya and I have returned to the base camp. We are safe. How are you doing there? Over!"
"I'm Eric. The mercenaries and I are safe. It's just that Vandrick was captured by the Belarusian border guards. I need to coordinate this matter with them. Over."
Zhu Yu and Croya breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that it was the border guards.
"This is the base camp. What do we need to do? Over."
"No need. I have taken care of the relationship here before, so I will contact the people I contacted before, and everything should be fine soon. In addition, the two mercenaries brought by Fandrick were injured, so I would like to remind you, If the border guards come to the base camp, you must not resist and accept their inspection normally.
Remember, we are here for a tourist inspection, and the relevant procedures and certificates are in the car. "
"Received, we will definitely pay attention. Over."
As long as they are not gangsters, then at least safety should be guaranteed.
"Okay, let's stay here next." Zhu Yu called the others and said, "Eric's side is fine, and so is Vandrick, so don't worry.
In addition, the Belarusian border guards are currently operating in this area, so if there is any movement from them, do not panic and accept inspection according to their requirements. "
A few mercenaries were a little panicked.
"Is there anything wrong with the weapons you are carrying?" Zhu Yu suddenly asked.
A mercenary hesitated and said, "Two of us don't have gun licenses."
"Put that gun away. Also, if there is a gun that exceeds its power, put it away as well, or find a place nearby to bury it."
The mercenaries went to work.
Zhu Yu winked at Ran Jie, and Ran Jie nodded in understanding.
The three of them left immediately. In addition to the guns given by Zhu Yu, they also had four captured short-barreled automatic rifles, which needed to be hidden.
Zhu Yu said to Croya again:
"You need to hide your gun too."
Croya nodded, reluctantly left Zhu Yu, and went to find a place to hide the pistol.
The reason why Zhu Yu knew she had a gun was that after Ran Jie and the other three killed the gangsters, they seized the small pistol, which Croya said belonged to her.
After the gun was arranged, Zhu Yu and Ran Jie found a place to bury the gold coins.
Who knows what kind of virtue the Belarusian border guards are. If they are really like the White Bandits, then the gold will definitely be confiscated if found, and they will probably kill people and silence them. It is better not to give them such a chance.
After everything was tidied up, Zhu Yu checked it again and felt relieved.
The sky was getting dark, and just when Zhu Yu was about to prepare dinner, Qin Fei and a mercenary came out and issued a warning.
Someone is coming!
Zhu Yu and others immediately stood up with their hands empty to avoid misunderstanding.
After a while, more than thirty people in military uniforms came out of the surrounding woods, holding guns and escorting Qin Fei and the mercenary. They also looked at Zhu Yu and the others warily.
Zhu Yu hurriedly shouted in English:
"We are here for tourism, and we have legal procedures!"
There were locals among the mercenaries, speaking loudly in Belarusian:
"We are serious and legal tourists, we have procedures, and we will cooperate with the inspection!"
The leading officer saw that these people were very cooperative, and his nervousness calmed down.
In fact, their main goal is to track the five "bandits" from before.
But these people in front of me are obviously not the target.
But some inspections are still necessary. The images of those mercenaries and Ran Jie were rather suspicious.
After checking the documents and procedures, the officer nodded. These passports, documents and procedures are formal, and they really look like they are here for an inspection trip.
The soldiers inspected the off-road vehicles and supplies, then came over and reported to the officers in a low voice.
The officer nodded, looked at Zhu Yu, and asked a few words.
The mercenary came over and translated for Zhu Yu:
"He said, why did you bring those tools? And what is the purpose of bringing so many supplies?"
"Tell him that we originally planned to camp here for three months to investigate a very ancient trade route." Zhu Yu said nonsense, "Now there have been discoveries, and there are still investigators who have not returned. So there are more supplies."
This explanation is not bad.
At this time, Ran Jie came over and quietly said to Zhu Yu:
"They took away a lot of things... mainly food..."
Zhu Yu thought, just take it away, it's better than grabbing someone.
Suddenly, another soldier came over and said a few words to the officer nervously.
The officer's face suddenly became serious!
