ALL NOVEL Chapter 57 Abnormality
"So, it's not a bad thing to be more careful when searching." More than an hour later, Liang En said seriously to Pierce in a restaurant a few hundred meters away from the yard.
After the police officer finished questioning Liang En, a man in chemical protective clothing checked them from top to bottom before letting them go, and told them they could come after 3 p.m.
From the subsequent chat with the police, Liang En learned that the iron box contained mustard gas used to train soldiers during World War II. If accidentally leaked, it could easily cause harm.
This is also the reason why the police waited for a long time before coming over after Liang En's photo was sent, because they needed to meet up with the professionals at Porton Down Laboratory who were handling these biological and chemical weapons, and then come over together.
"You're right, and we're both lucky. At least those jars didn't leak." Pierce said after swallowing the steak in his mouth. "Then what should we do next? Can we go in and explore after 3 p.m.?"
"That's for sure. After all, the police also said that this is a poison gas tank used for training, and the amount of poison gas inside is not large. Even if it is leaked, we will only be injured if we smell the smell and run away." Liang En thought for a moment and said .
"More importantly, there are not many of these poison gas cans distributed at training sites, so the ten cans of poison gas in that box are probably all the poison gas in this place."
"That's right, let's go there in the afternoon." Pierce nodded. "By the way, I saw you were looking at that dilapidated building just now. Is there anything inside the dilapidated building?"
"I suspect that there may be some good things hidden in that building that have not been taken away." Liang En looked at the diners around him and said in a low voice, "Because I noticed that that house has been renovated many times. Mark of."
"What's wrong with this?" Pierce's face showed confusion. "Since it was abandoned, that place was used once during World War I, and then operated as a regimental headquarters until the 1930s. It was used again during World War II."
"Before each opening, this building will undergo a comprehensive overhaul. Even the double-story building on the side was built before World War II. Otherwise, you would think where the wires for the electric lights in the old building came from. "
"But most people who do maintenance shouldn't dig anything on the load-bearing columns." Liang En said, taking out his mobile phone, and then showed some pictures he had taken before to Pierce opposite.
"There is indeed something wrong." Pierce frowned as he looked at the obvious patch of cement on the load-bearing pillar that was a different color from the surrounding cement. Apparently, this area had been dug up in the past and then refilled with cement.
"What do you think is hidden here? It can't be another damn gas bomb." After looking at the photo for a while, Pierce suddenly said. "If there's another gas bomb, we'll be in real trouble."
"Probably not. The previous poison gas bombs were obviously disposed of casually after use. You know, during the war, the management of second-line areas may not be as strict as the front-line. That's why dangerous goods are littered."
"But if you want to throw it away, just dig a hole in the yard and bury it." Liang En said, pointing to the mark on the pillar in the photo. "There's no need to dig holes in solid pillars."
"It makes sense." Pierce said as he enlarged the photo. Unfortunately, Liang En was in a hurry when he took the photo, so he couldn't see the details at all.
"Although we can't see what's inside now, this suspicion is enough for the two of us to search the place thoroughly." Pierce said, helplessly putting down his phone.
At around 3 p.m., the police officer who called Liang En and the others called again and told them that the yard cleanup was over and they could go back now.
After receiving the call, Liang En and the others, who were killing time in the bar by ordering a non-alcoholic drink, immediately drank the drinks at the bottom of the cup and then drove back to the militia training camp.
Unexpectedly, the man who was in charge of the construction site and a middle-aged man in a suit were waiting at the entrance of the training camp. When they saw Liang En and the others arriving, they came up to them.
It turned out that this middle-aged man was the person in charge of the construction site. He came here specifically to thank Liang En and the others for helping to eliminate this hidden danger. In addition to verbal thanks, he also returned the 150 pounds he had collected before and gave them 500 pounds. thank you fee.
"It seems that we are really lucky. At least we can turn that useless thing into money." After saying goodbye to the two people at the construction site, Liang En handed half of the 650 pounds to Pierce.
"I don't want this kind of luck to happen again." Pierce shook his head after accepting the money. "If we had used a big shovel today and used a little more force, we would probably have to spend the next two days in the hospital."
After entering the main building of the building, the two people began to use the tools in their hands to knock on suspicious walls and pillars. After more than an hour, they discovered three mezzanines hidden in the walls or pillars in the room. .
These mezzanines were all dug out of the original building body, but were later sealed with red bricks and cement, and then painted.
To be honest, these secret places built on the building itself are indeed difficult to find. If it weren’t for the fact that the entire building was destroyed over decades and the sun and rain caused the two different cements to show different colors. No one will be able to discover this place for another few decades.
The first one to be opened was a secret room in the basement. This secret room should be the largest in terms of size. Unfortunately, after the two people smashed the bricks out of breath, they only saw a long green wooden box inside.
"Ha - we found a weapons box." After the two people moved the weapons box out, Liang En tapped the wooden box with his fingers and said. "Guess what kind of gun is in here?"
"It's probably a bunch of wooden guns. You have to remember that during the Dunkirk retreat, even the regular soldiers didn't have many guns, and many militiamen really only had wooden guns left during training."
Pierce said as he shook the box, and there was a sound of heavy objects colliding inside.
"Training with a wooden gun, you're not kidding me, are you?" Liang En couldn't believe it. After all, his motherland was an agricultural country at the time, so he could only face the brutal enemies with crude weapons. But Britain is an old industrial country.
"The regular army still barely has guns, but this is the camp of the Home Guard." Pierce said helplessly. "Only half the Home Guard had guns at that time, and most of them were civilian firearms."
"These civilian guns are brought by the Home Guard members, so there is a high probability that they will not be left here. The professional weapons issued after sufficient supplies in the later period will have serial numbers, and the higher-level departments will definitely recycle them."
"So you think this thing is a wooden gun? But when I was moving it, I seemed to hear the sound of metal colliding." Liang En said, taking out a crowbar and prying up the wooden box. "I'll bet you a pound that there's a real gun in here."
"I bet, this is definitely a training gun made of wood." Looking at Liang En who was prying the box, Pierce took out a one pound coin from his pocket and said.
