Chapter 1152: Treasure! Treasure!

It was just as Zhao Yu had expected!

Zhao Yu immediately flew towards the target when he detected the explosives and firearms.

Just as he was descending, he saw Miao Ying and Xu Hai. The two of them were both headed there under Zhao Yu’s orders to look for criminals.

However, the northwest area of the tourist spot was the most densely populated area, and the criminals were all in disguise and hiding. The two of them had looked for a long time and still hadn’t found any suspicious personnel.

Zhao Yu was invisible and flying, there was no way he could call out to them. To be on the safe side, he flew alone to a spot near Wen Yuan Pavilion and successfully found his target location.

There was a small house that was not particularly outstanding, and since it was not open to tourists, the door was locked from the outside. Nobody would notice it.

However, Zhao Yu noticed in one glance that this small house had red walls with green patterns on the roof tiles. It was the exact same pattern found on the Russian nesting dolls!

But the small house had only one door and no windows, so Zhao Yu couldn’t see the situation inside. He could only circle around the periphery of the house before turning back.

As he entered the middle of the overgrown deserted courtyard at the back of the house, Zhao Yu spotted something that gave him goosebumps.

He hadn’t expected that there would be a well in the middle of the grass!

The f*ck!?

At first glance, looking at this dried-up well, Zhao Yu felt a sudden gust of eerie wind blow and his back felt cold.

Amitabha…

Zhao Yu clasped his hands together and chanted Buddhist mantras repeatedly. He didn’t expect that there would really be a well!

Could it be? Was the Russian female ghost with the red shirt really from this place?

Rustle, rustle…

Zhao Yu felt a cold air around him. He didn’t dare think about it any further. He quickly turned around and continued to look at the house.

Although the back of the house had no doors or windows, he heard an unusual sound coming from inside.

The sound was dull and appeared to come from underground.

If it wasn’t for the Detector in his brain, Zhao Yu probably would have thought the sound was coming from the well, which would have been terrifying. The Detector, however, clearly showed that the pistol and explosives were all located underground!

Treasure, treasure! Zhao Yu thought.

The idea of the treasure chased away all the scary thoughts he had and adrenaline filled his body.

Without a doubt, these were the masked man’s comrades digging for the treasure underground. Who knew how far they had dug and whether or not the treasure had already been found?

Although Zhao Yu didn’t know the exact number of criminals that were below, through the detector, he knew that there was a total of two pistols and two bags of explosives!

The composition and weight were almost the same as those back at the fortress. If it were to explode, the result would be catastrophic. Not just the treasures below, but even the buildings on the surface and the side of the Wen Yuan Pavilion would be severely damaged!

The more Zhao Yu thought, the more he felt like the enemy would be unable to carry such a large treasure away. Their true motive was probably to blow it up!

If that happened, it would be considered a terrible terrorist attack!

Although the treasures wouldn’t be entirely blown up by the explosives, other precious cultural relics would undoubtedly be wiped out. The losses would be huge!

And so…

No matter what, the criminals could not be allowed to succeed!

Zhao Yu stopped and seriously considered everything for a moment. Although he was invisible, he would still need to find a safer method.

Or else, if they detonated the explosives, it wouldn’t be a pretty sight.

The door was locked and there were no windows. In Zhao Yu’s current invisible state, how was he to barge in? Storming in was probably not difficult, but there was no way he could successfully remove the explosives. It was not that simple, this…

Five seconds later, Zhao Yu thought of something.

What an idiot he was!

He remembered that although the house had been locked from the outside, he had the master key. What was he waiting for?

He didn’t need to think up any fancy plan. He headed straight for the front of the little door, unlocking it with the master key. Gently, he opened the door and entered.

Although the heavy wooden door made a slight squeaking sound, the people inside the house were all digging underground and couldn’t hear it.

Hehe! Be positive! he thought to himself.

Zhao Yu saw the situation in the house and immediately closed the small door, restoring everything to its original state.

Through the dim light, he could see a huge, deep hole had been dug out at the corner of the house. The sounds of digging came from inside the deep pit. This let Zhao Yu know that the people below were all busy at work.

Zhao Yu thought about it and figured that whatever came next, he would let nature take its course.

All he had to do was enter the pit without his disguise, remove the bomb, and he would be able to catch the enemy.

However, when he walked to the entrance of the hole, he suddenly remembered something depressing. The last time he was at the fortress he had used up the last of his Invisible Bomb Disposals!

D*mn it!

Zhao Yu quickly opened his equipment tab and saw that after the previous encounter, the system had rewarded him with another Invisible Bomb Disposal! But he only had one!

F*ck this sh*t…

There were two bombs below and Zhao Yu only had one Invisible Bomb Disposal. What was he to do?

He quickly realized that the masked man also had a bomb on his body. That bomb was definitely being used to threaten the hostages. Wouldn’t it be better to keep the bomb disposal for that instead?

Tsch!

Just as Zhao Yu was stressing over this, the digging underground stopped suddenly and there was a low murmur of excitement.

What the f*ck!?

Zhao Yu suddenly realized that if they dared to stop and exclaim this way, they might have found the treasure.

Thinking about this, Zhao Yu didn’t dare to take any more time thinking about it. Once they found the treasure, they could detonate the explosives at any moment. He rushed into the hole!

The pit was very deep, and it had been dug quite far. It was almost like it was an air-raid shelter.

There was a light deep in the cave and two shadows could be seen.

Two people were talking excitedly in a Southeast Asian dialect. One of them was tinkering with a walkie-talkie and it was making a squeaking sound.

Although Zhao Yu couldn’t understand what they were saying, he could at least figure out that they were going to send a message to the masked man.

Once the masked man knew that the treasures had been found, they would inevitably retreat. If that was the case, not only would it be bad for the hostages, they may not even let them escape!

Keeping that in mind, Zhao Yu quickly took the Signal Jammer out and used it.

Hmph!

He sneered. This time he would give them the taste of the pain caused by having no signal!

Sure enough, when the criminals saw that the walkie-talkie did not respond, they turned and walked towards the entrance of the cave. They assumed it was just bad reception due to being underground.

At that time, Zhao Yu saw that they had dug out a decaying iron gate deep within the hole.

The iron gate was not very high and the rust was grayed out. It was clearly very old. A Japanese flag was plastered on the gate, clearly visible.

Wah!

Zhao Yu was in shock.

They really… they really found it!

At that point, another criminal was studying the iron door, trying to find how to open it. Through his Detector, Zhao Yu found that the two explosives were in a black bag under his feet.

Phew…

Zhao Yu was relieved, but since the explosives were not being carried, what was he waiting for?

Furthermore, since it was so dark in the cave, they wouldn’t be able to see him. Why not just pull a fast one on them? Or should he wait?

Zhao Yu pulled out the taser with the bullets in his right hand, and with a flash of light in the cave, the two criminals quickly fell to the ground…
