Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 13 Goals, Leipzig
British calls are not very cheap, so Liang En simply drove to the emerald thrift store to have an interview with Pierce.When he drove to the door of the grocery store, he found a red container truck parked in the parking lot not far away.

"Good morning, Uncle Murphy." After entering the door, he unexpectedly found that besides Pierce himself, his father, Old Pierce, was also in the store.

"Good morning, Lawrence." After saying hello, Old Pierce walked out the door. "You two talk first. I'll go out and check that truck. After all, the condition of a long-distance vehicle is very important."

"Didn't your father say he was going to retire? Why do you want to go this time?" Liang En couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked Pierce behind the counter after watching Old Pierce leave the room and close the door.

"It's impossible." Pierce shrugged. "If you go there, if you want to bring back the loot instead of disposing of it at a low price, you must have a big truck, but the problem is that neither of us can drive that kind of big truck."

"Considering the secrecy of this operation, in the end I could only call my father. Fortunately, when he was doing business, he traveled all over Western Europe, so not only was he familiar with the road conditions, he also had a driver's license in that area."

"It's so lucky. By the way, why did the butler lend you this car. You know, no one will be nice to another person for no reason."

"Don't worry, this is mainly the butler's compensation for the last time we were raped by that Russian tycoon." Pierce spread his hands and said.

"After all, he was the one who introduced the job last time, but he didn't expect the other party to do it so well. In this case, in order to save his reputation, he is willing to make some compensation to us in this regard."

"For us, the auction qualification of an East German state reserve warehouse and the lease of a container truck are very important, even related to our careers, but to that steward, these expenses are far less than their The family's honor."

"In other words, we can be regarded as taking what we need." Hearing this, Liang En also felt relieved. "That's fine—when shall we leave?"

"In three days, although the European Union is now integrated, it is not too much trouble for us to drive the car from here to Germany. But it is a long-distance trip across several countries, so it is best to make some preparations."

The straight-line distance from London to Leipzig is more than 860 kilometers. It may take less than an hour by plane. Even if you drive a freight truck non-stop, one day is enough.

It's just that the truck was only driven by Old Pierce, and because of the troublesome border crossing procedures, the three of Liang En and the others drove the big truck into the urban area of ​​Leipzig at noon on the second day after departure. .

Under the leadership of Old Pierce, the three of them drove the car with ease to a parking lot on the outskirts of the city for long-distance truck drivers to rest, and then began to arrange the next action plan.

"The auction will only start tomorrow, so I think we can go and see that warehouse today." After the car stopped, Liang En flipped through the map on his phone and said.

"I checked the map and found that the reservoir area is located on the side of an abandoned railway branch line. It is only 700 meters away from here, and it is completely possible to walk there."

"It's so close." Pierce immediately leaned over to look at the map in Liang En's hand. "If that's the case, it's good to look at it in advance, at least you can know it well."

"Okay, you two young people go, I'll watch the car here." Old Pierce said after hearing Liang En's plan. "By the way, remember to take the things in the accessories box with you when you go out, and you must come back before dark."

"Understood—" Liang En and Pierce said in unison, and then each of them took out a steel pipe that was as long as the forearm from the toolbox behind the seat and stuffed it into their clothes.

When they were driving on the road before, they had already discovered that after entering the eastern part of Germany, the overall situation around them was significantly worse than that in the west.

Plus the fence around the parking lot is covered in graffiti.So they will naturally make some preparations for this when they leave the car. .

"There's something wrong with this place." Looking at the dilapidated houses and the graffiti on the walls, Liang En subconsciously lowered the brim of his baseball cap a lot.Because he found that there are many contents related to Germany in World War II in the graffiti on the street.

"You are right. This should be an industrial area with various living facilities in the past." Pierce also made a movement of pressing down the brim of his hat. "But it's abandoned now, and it seems to be occupied by some far-right guys."

"Yeah, this place is obviously not very friendly to me." Liang En frowned looking at Pierce beside him who wanted to cover his face. "I'm Asian, so it's naturally dangerous in this kind of place, but you're a pure European."

"Europeans are different from Europeans. We Irish are at the bottom of the European population's contempt chain, about the same level as Poles. In the eyes of those bastards, we may not be as high as you Chinese."

Fortunately, although the surrounding environment looks bad, but because it is close to noon, there is no one on the road.Therefore, the two reached the goal very smoothly.

The target was a very large warehouse next to a railway track that was already overgrown with weeds.It's just that when the two of them came to the faded black iron gate, they found that the iron gate and even the big lock that linked the gate had rusted to death.

"Is no one in there?" Pierce asked.After walking around the wall of the warehouse, they couldn't find a place to go in.After knocking on the door for a long time, there was no response from inside.

"Probably not." After looking through the crack of the door for a long time, Liang En felt that it was very likely that the door had not been opened since the end of the Cold War.

Because through the crack of the door, he discovered that a thick layer of soil had accumulated on the ground that should have been paved with cement, and even grass had grown in many places on it.

At the beginning, Liang En planned to use cards to investigate the situation.But it turned out that the warehouse was built like a fortress. Even the wall closest to the warehouse was more than 5 meters away from the warehouse itself, which was far beyond the scope of card detection.

"This probably belonged to the warehouse of the East German military at the earliest." After finding that the golden finger was temporarily useless, Liang En observed the surrounding environment honestly. Soon, his enhanced observation ability allowed him to discover the iron Some clues on the door.

Because after removing the plaster from the iron doors, he found that there was a patch of black paint in the middle of each of the two iron doors.

And after wiping it with a rag dipped in a small bottle of gasoline that he carried with him, a section of wheat ears and a black, red and yellow ribbon were exposed under the paint.

"Military warehouse, no wonder—" Pierce showed a clear expression.

During the investigation just now, he also found that the outer wall of this warehouse was much larger in height and thickness than normal railway warehouses, and from the damaged part of the wall, it could be seen that steel bars were even added inside.

"It seems that this is good news." Liang En said as the two returned to the parking lot. "At least we can confirm that this warehouse is strong enough, and the level was relatively high back then. There are likely to be many valuable items preserved in it."

"That's right." Pierce nodded in agreement. "The most important thing is that no one has been in here for a long time, and those good things should not have been removed."
