Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Chapter 422: Finding the Entrance to the Grain Reserve Cave



In the post-apocalyptic world, a few things are most important:

Food, a safe environment, weapons, people.

The importance of the grain silo is beyond question.

The captain leading his team past Rock Mountain understands this well, which is why he must find this grain silo. It was a serious task assigned to him by Elder Ye.

He knew the task was arduous and crucial, yet now there were no other suitable hands available to complete it.

"Captain, we're here," A team member beside him pointed to Rock Mountain's scenic area sign and said.

Captain Luo looked at the familiar yet somewhat foreign sign, momentarily lost in thought, but he quickly snapped back to reality.

He then said to the two technicians behind him, "Take out the equipment and check it. See if there's any structure underground."

The two obediently followed Captain Luo's order, removing the equipment they carried on their backs and began the inspection on the spot.

For Captain Luo, he had visited this place many times before, but had never thought this location might conceal a grain silo.

In his memory, it was improbable that the above-ground structures here could serve as a grain silo.

They were not that big, and he was familiar with all the buildings around.

Just some temples, nothing more.

And the site where Zhou Dunyi wrote his Ode to the Lotus.

Could it really be outside the cave?

Caves?

Captain Luo suddenly narrowed his eyes. He remembered that this area of Luo Tianyan had many rock mountain caves, but many years ago, the Government sealed off many caves citing safety issues.

Some were directly buried.

Could there be such a coincidence?

At the same time, the two team members who had just taken out their equipment for inspection, their devices emitted a series of beeps.

Hearing the noise, Captain Luo hurriedly asked, "What's going on? Is there a huge underground space nearby?"

The two team members pointed at the ultrasonic detection instrument and replied, "Yes, according to the instrument's detection, there's a large underground space nearby, in this direction, 230 meters to the East."

Upon hearing this, Captain Luo immediately stood up and said to the team, "Let's go take a look; quickly pack up. We're heading over."

The team members quickly got up, gathered their things, and walked in that direction.

Arriving at the location indicated by the instrument, everyone fell silent before a huge Ginkgo Tree.

This Ginkgo Tree was over two thousand years old.

Years ago, it had been struck by lightning but had still not perished, and before the end of the world, it had already been registered as a precious protected plant.

Behind this tree lay a mountain.

But because of this tree, dozens of meters around it were designated as a protected area for the plant.

A fence was even erected to prevent people from entering.

But now that the world had ended, nobody cared about these things anymore.

So Captain Luo simply stepped over the fence and moved towards the back of the tree.

The team members carrying the detection equipment also climbed over.

Captain Luo, consulting the instrument, pointed to a crevice in Rock Mountain, a few meters behind the Ginkgo Tree, and asked, "Is the place indicated by the equipment right here?"

A team member looked at the instrument and replied, "That's the spot."

Captain Luo looked at the crevice, thought for a moment,

Then took out a shovel he had picked up on the way and started digging at the crevice.

Boom—

The spot was not as solid as expected.

After Captain Luo dug a few times, a piece of rock from the spot fell away.

After a roar, what came into view was a large iron door.

The crowd looked at the large iron gate with some excitement, finally.

Finally it was found.

They never expected that the secret granary would be hidden in this place.

Using the natural cave, and then with a rational method.

Using the precious Ginkgo Tree as a cover, blatantly blocking the exit position, preventing others from entering.

Ingenious.

Upon seeing the gate, admiration rose in Captain Luo's heart.

A complete success without any effort.

They had been busy for so long, searched so many places, and now they had finally found it, for a moment they were overjoyed beyond self-control.

Captain Luo looked at the members who were almost losing their composure with joy, and couldn't help but say: "Now is not the time to be happy,

You must see the actual items before the mission is considered complete.

Don't get too excited just yet, let's go in and take a look.

Seeing is believing!"

The other members nodded and composed themselves.

Captain Luo walked up to the large iron gate and found it was sealed tight.

But they didn't have the key, and for a moment they didn't know how to open the gate.

Now the members were somewhat dumbfounded; damn it, after searching for over a month and finally finding it,

To be stopped at the entrance?

It was as if someone was teasing them.

They didn't bring any specialized breaching tools when they came, their mere shovels were simply not enough.

They had already come all this way.

You should know they were from an even further place in the South, hundreds of kilometers away, and it was not easy to make the trip here.

So even if they had to go back, they had to bring back accurate news.

Could it be that when they returned to report, they would say this:

The place was found, just not sure if there's still food inside, because the gate wasn't opened.

It seemed like a joke.

They must get in, get a precise answer, and if possible, take some of the food first.

Their headquarters was also in dire shortage of food.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been sent out in such urgency to find the reserve granary.

Members looked at the large door with worried faces and asked, "Captain, what should we do now?"

Captain Luo was also vexed, and said with a speechless expression: "Weren't you just very happy? Now think of a plan, how to get in."

A more knowledgeable member stepped forward to examine the iron gate and said, "Captain, this gate is quite complex, strong enough to withstand the impact of a grenade.

If we try to rely on brute force, it might be very difficult to open, and we might even blow up the entrance."

Captain Luo glanced at him and said, "It doesn't matter if it collapses, what's important is that we need to get in, even if it collapses, if there are other entrances, we can still find the food."

Captain Luo looked around at the people, somewhat conflicted.

Finally, he said, "You two, check around this place, look in the vicinity, find a weaker spot that we may enter through.

If we can't enter from the main entrance, we can go through another spot.

Although this is a scenic area, it's not important now, as long as we can get in, we'll just blow it open later.

Old Ye is still waiting for us at headquarters. We don't have much time to wait."

The two carrying the equipment nodded, walked away from the large iron gate, and started to search around the area.

Hoping to find a weaker spot.
