The wolf pounced on Elder Hassan who was speaking. Elder Hassan didn't panic at all, he raised his gun and hit!
With a "bang" shot, the wolf was knocked away!
Only then did Zhu Yu realize that Elder Hassan was also holding a semi-old Type 56 submachine gun.
He suddenly remembered something. It seemed that the tribal elders here were not used to using pistols. They either didn't use guns, or they all held powerful automatic rifles or Aka submachine guns.
Following Elder Hassan's gunshot, everyone else started shooting one after another.
"Damn it, don't use bursts of fire, click or shoot! Don't you know how hard-earned these bullets are?"
Elder Hassan shouted loudly while directing the battle.
Some people are probably used to firing in bursts, and the bullets will pop out quickly, but the results are not satisfactory.
Those wolves were also very cunning. After the first wolf was killed by a gun, the other wolves immediately dispersed and were not in a hurry to attack.
Their flexible movement allowed many people's shots to hit empty spaces.
Some people ran out of bullets and hurriedly changed magazines. At this time, the wolves also realized that the threat was reduced, and immediately changed their positions and rushed towards the crowd.
Amid the howls, these wolves seem to be intelligent. As long as they rush into the crowd, they can gain a greater advantage and get delicious food.
Moreover, these wolves stayed very low to the ground during the attack, minimizing their area of impact as much as possible, as if they had become spirits!
Seeing that the wolves that were rushing very close to them were about to rush into the crowd, the residents of the tribe began to panic. Some people retreated in panic, while others rushed out to fight these wolves with the tools in their hands.
At this time, in the diagonally forward direction, crisp gunshots sounded rhythmically. The wolves that were about to pounce fell head-on to the ground. None of the wolves broke through and entered the circle of tribesmen. .
The anxious Elder Hassan finally felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief. He looked towards the direction where the bullet came from and found that it was actually on Zhu Yuranjie's side.
Among the five people there, except for Hu Guanghui, who was guarded in the middle with his bare hands, the others were holding guns, standing or squatting, and shooting steadily.
Basically after every gunshot, a wild wolf will fall.
Zhu Yu and the others stabilized the battle with shooting like sharpshooters. As more and more wild wolves were killed, the remaining few wild wolves stopped attacking and turned around and ran away with a sharp wolf howl.
There was still a steady sound of shooting. Except for one wolf that got into the ravine and disappeared, the other escaping wild wolves died on the way to escape.
Seeing all the wild wolves being killed, the tribesmen were stunned for a moment and then cheered.
Zhu Yu and the others were surrounded as heroes. Although he couldn't quite understand what the residents were saying, Zhu Yu could see their gratitude in their eyes and expressions.
The carcasses of more than thirty wild wolves were dragged over. These are very good things for the tribesmen.
While there are certain teachings that need to be followed, wolves are clearly not one of them.
The turmoil calmed down again. Zhu Yu and the others gave the wolf carcasses they deserved to the tribesmen and continued to rest.
There was a lot of wolf meat for breakfast. Although Zhu Yu and the others were not used to it, the tribesmen were very happy to eat it.
At noon the next day, the entrance to the mine was finally dug out, and the tribesmen cheered happily.
"Mr. Zhu, let's go in and take a look!" Elder Hassan enthusiastically invited Zhu Yu.
"Wait a little longer, wait until the air inside becomes stable, and then we can go in again." Zhu Yu did not move. He could feel the flow of air at the entrance of the cave and the unpleasant smell coming out.
Although Elder Hassan was a little anxious, he did not act on his own. Instead, he believed in Zhu Yu's judgment and raised his hand to stop his men who were about to rush in.
Half an hour later, Zhu Yu stood up and said:
"Come on, let's go in. I hope we can gain something from this."
The eager tribesmen had already stood at the entrance of the cave. When they saw Elder Hassan accompanying Zhu Yu and the others, they immediately bent down and quickly entered the cave.
Obviously, they were on the front line.
It was very cold inside the cave, and the residents walking in front had flashlights in their hands. Ran Jie and the others also turned on their tactical flashlights to shine inside.
As soon as the lights were turned on, a large area was illuminated.
"What kind of light is this? Is it so bright?" Hassan asked in surprise as he looked at the flashlight in Ran Jie's hand that could illuminate the cave like daylight.
"Our domestic high-lumen flashlights." Ran Jie smiled and said, "For charging, there are two types: direct light and astigmatism."
He switched the irradiation mode and introduced it to Elder Hassan.
"How much does it cost?" Elder Hassan immediately became interested in this kind of equipment. "I mean the price of shipping it to me."
"It does not exceed fifty dollars in our country. It may be more expensive to ship to you." Ran Jie said, "It is considered a relatively expensive civilian product."
"The price is a little high, but it is really very practical. It is normal for such a bright lamp to be more expensive."
This lamp was used by Zhu Yu when he touched crabs at night. He bought some after seeing similar introductions on the Internet.
But I really didn’t have much free time, so I simply gave one to each of Ran Jie and the others.
After walking more than thirty meters into the cave, everyone discovered that the opening space inside was actually quite large, enough to accommodate a small truck in and out.
You can also see traces of trucks coming in and out on the ground, but it should be quite a while ago.
"There should be a cave inside here." Zhu Yu judged as he walked, "If there is no problem, you should be able to find some supplies inside. Let's go inside and take a look."
Zhu Yu's words soon came true.
After walking more than twenty meters inside, I saw warehouses for storing materials opened on both sides of Shandong. At this time, the space of the cave became larger.
"I didn't expect it to be there!" Elder Hassan exclaimed, "Come on, let's see what's inside!"
These warehouses have direct openings, and you can see some boxes stacked deep inside.
The innermost part of the first warehouse was covered with moisture-proof cloth, with wooden boxes stacked on top. A tribesman walked over and, under the instruction of Elder Hassan, used the tools in his hand to pry open a box.
Inside the box are food packages for individual soldiers. It is a food bag that contains various items such as staple food, side dishes, and chocolate.
"This is a good thing!" Elder Hassan picked up a pack and said happily, "Take this to the market and you can exchange it for an old pistol. Three packs can exchange it for a good rifle!"
There are about thirty boxes here, which is a good haul.
The second warehouse is stacked with tools. From short-handled pickaxes to wrenches, there are quite a lot of things. Fortunately, they are all sorted and stacked, which is quite useful for the tribe.
The third warehouse contains some auto parts and repair tools.
In the fourth warehouse are some large machinery. It looked a bit similar to the ones in the tribe's big yard. Zhu Yu guessed that it should be mining or mineral processing equipment.
The first warehouse we came back to was a surprise: it was full of all kinds of weapons!
Pistols, rifles, grenades, landmines and a small number of individual missiles.
Seeing these things, Elder Hassan shouted happily:
"God bless! With these things we will no longer be afraid of attacks from those bastards!"
He did not forget to turn to Zhu Yu and said:
"Mr. Zhu, thank you very much!"
"No, no, no, we are a cooperative relationship, and I have a part in this." Zhu Yu said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, we have a cooperative relationship." Hassan's smile became more sincere. Although he valued these things, now he valued Zhu Yu's ability even more.
In the warehouses at the back, there are still some weapons, living supplies and other sundries.
The things shipped over by Lao Mei really opened Zhu Yu's eyes.
From solar panels to coffee powder, from tents to individual sleeping bags, from bulky laptops to a small number of handheld game consoles.
It really has everything.
What surprised Zhu Yu even more was that many of them were produced in China. It seemed that it was true that Old Lighthouse had snatched the supplies China had given to a country in the Middle East and given them to other people.
A rough estimate shows that the total value of these supplies is within one million US dollars.
The main reason is that the prices of some construction machinery are difficult to calculate.
But even so, Hu Guanghui's face was already full of smiles.
With the current items, the share given to him can basically fulfill his wish.
Elder Hassan couldn't help but return to the warehouse where the weapons were stored, took out an automatic rifle, skillfully pulled the trigger, looked at the inside of the gun chamber, and said with a smile:
"Don't worry about the other things now. These things will be moved back to the tribe immediately!"
The tribesmen who followed in looked at those weapons with envy.
Although some of the weapons of the old lighthouse are not suitable for use in such desert Gobi areas, after all, these are new guys.
After all, compared to those old guys whose rifling is almost worn out, it's like heaven and earth!
As soon as Elder Hassan said that he wanted to move these things back, the tribesmen immediately stepped forward. Each of them had several guns hanging on his body, and he desperately stuffed the grenade into the cloth bag on his body.
One of them directly picked up two individual missiles, grinned and ran out.
"Carry the box back, you idiots! Idiots!" Elder Hassan cursed angrily.
Being scolded by Elder Hassan, the tribesmen felt embarrassed, put their guns back in the box, and carried the box out.
"I have been poor for too long. I can't help myself when I encounter such good equipment." Elder Hassan explained with an embarrassed smile.
"I understand, I understand." Zhu Yu said with a smile, thinking of the independent group that was once active in the north in the film and television program.
If Big Lao Li and Monk encountered so many new equipment, they would definitely look like this.
After walking out of the cave, Elder Hassan watched the tribesmen transporting the equipment back. He asked Zhu Yu again:
"Mr. Zhu, do you think those people at the lighthouse only kept these things?"
"I think there should be more than one." Zhu Yu said, "Let's take a look around when we have time to see if there are similar things in other places."
"Okay, okay." Elder Hassan smiled, "Actually, I think so too. I feel that such a big base cannot only have this little thing."
To describe it, the things stored in this cave warehouse are not very large, only a few dozen tons.
But it would be very long to move with these people in the tribe.
Elder Hassan knew that this was not the solution, so he called Elder Kaman back via satellite phone and explained the situation here.
Elder Kaman immediately said that he would organize a team of 200 people from the tribal village to come and move things.
He also told Elder Hassan that there was no rush to search for other caves for the time being, and he would wait until he brought people over.
"That's just right. You move things while we walk around and enjoy the scenery." Zhu Yu said with a smile.
"Okay, okay. Do you want me to send you a guide?" Elder Hassan asked.
"No need. Ran Jie and the others have been here for a while, and they can take them with them." Zhu Yu said, "The main thing is that I don't want to stay in one place all the time. In fact, if I didn't have to look for something, I would have gone back to the tribe now. .”
Elder Hassan smiled understandingly and sent Zhu Yu and the others away, while he organized the remaining villagers to register and carry things.
Hu Guanghui originally wanted to go there with Zhu Yu and the others, but was left behind by Elder Hassan.
There is only one sentence of reason:
"You have a share in this. If you don't stay, do you know how much your things are worth?"
Hu Guanghui stayed. He not only had to keep an eye on his own share, but also calculated the share that should be given to Zhu Yu.
Zhu Yu was invited by him, and he didn't want Zhu Yu to suffer as well.
"Boss, where are we going?" Ran Jie asked as he walked out of the valley, "To be honest, the scenery nearby is actually pretty much the same..."
"Let's go to the cave you mentioned where people can get lost." Zhu Yu thought for a while and said, "I would like to see how many holes there are inside."
Ran Jie and others walked northwest with guns.
"There are still more than ten kilometers of mountain roads from here. At our pace, it will take more than an hour..."
The physical abilities of the four of them are far beyond ordinary people, but they are not machines and cannot be achieved overnight.
When they arrived near the cave, Zhu Yu discovered that there seemed to be traces of human habitation here a long time ago.
"This used to be the residence of a small tribe. Of course, that was hundreds of years ago." Ran Jie introduced as he walked inside, "Even people in this tribe often got lost and disappeared in the cave. .
Later, the small tribe was merged into the nearby large tribe, and the place was abandoned.
Because there is a lack of water and there are no resources nearby, no one comes here. Occasionally, traveling traders or lone thieves would stay here, but only briefly. "
Although Ran Jie has not been here long, he has learned all these things clearly.
The top of the cave is a relatively flat plateau, and the caves below appear irregularly, some are large and some are small, some are directly on the cave wall, and some appear under a certain stone.
"There is a big cave there, which is the most frequently inhabited by people." Ran Jie pointed to a cave entrance about three meters high at the foot of the mountain and said, "There are traces of someone staying inside."
Zhu Yu opened his eyes and scanned all the large and small cave entrances, then nodded and went to the largest cave entrance.
As soon as I stepped into the cave, I felt a chill. Although there was no wind, the coolness quickly dispelled the dryness on my body.
"This place is quite suitable to escape the heat." Zhu Yu said with a smile, "There should be a water source here, right? I feel like there is a little bit of moisture in the coolness."
"Then I don't know. When we came in, we walked a long way in but didn't find any water source," Ran Jie said.
Zhu Yu didn't say anything more and walked inside.
Sure enough, not long after walking, I found a fork in the road.
"We explored both sides, and one side was bottomless and divided into several holes," Ran Jie said with a flashlight. "On the right, walk about thirty or forty meters further and it is connected to another hole. That one The entrance of the cave is halfway up the mountain.”
Zhu Yu nodded and walked into the bottomless hole.
After looking at it with his heavenly eye, he was a little surprised to find that this hole was actually a mine - a lapis lazuli mine.
Inside the cave wall, there are many raw lapis lazuli stones, which look relatively good in quality.
Could this have been a lapis lazuli mine before? Is that why it was dug so deep?
After all, lapis lazuli has been a type of gem since ancient times, especially sought after by Buddhists.
It's just that Zhu Yu has no intention of mining these ores. The benefits are not high, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and he is too lazy to do it.
Not far inside, Zhu Yu suddenly said "Hey" and turned to look at Ran Jie:
"Have you marked the turns and entrances here?"
"Yes." Ran Jie pointed to a notch at the fork in front and said, "Look, there is this at every fork we passed."
With Zhu Yu's eyes, he could see that there were some marks drawn with invisible dye at these intersections.
These things are invisible to the naked eye and must be seen with special instruments.
Similar to fluorescent agents.
Could it be...
Zhu Yu made a bold guess.
He followed the arrows.
"Boss, we are going to the left ahead..." Ran Jie saw Zhu Yu walking towards the other side at a fork and immediately reminded, "We haven't been there yet..."
"Then let's take a walk and have a look." Zhu Yu smiled and continued walking forward.
Ran Jie was a little helpless, so he had to draw a hastily mark on the cave wall, and then followed.
Qin Fei and Cao Dalong didn't have so many ideas. They just followed wherever the boss went.
After making several turns and passing through several forks, Ran Jie was a little confused.
He couldn't help but said to Zhu Yu:
"Boss, if we continue like this, we will get lost!"
Even if there are markings, these things can easily get messed up as they pass by.
After all, many of the cave entrances I had seen before were similar, so there seemed to be no difference.
He didn't know how Zhu Yu could tell the difference.
Just as he was thinking about it, Zhu Yu suddenly stopped.
He pointed to the hole in front and said:
"I guess there should be something good hidden in there!"
"real?"
"The boss said it, it must be true!" Cao Dalong did not forget to flatter him.
"Okay, let's go in and take a look and you'll find out."
Zhu Yu walked in first.
Sure enough, there was a stone room in front, with small boxes placed inside.
Sure enough there is something!
