Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 55 Harvest and Militia Training Camp
"This is the reward you deserve." Early the next morning, the butler Lubson of the Earl's Mansion met with Liang En and the others in a box in a coffee shop.As soon as they met, the butler pushed a large check over the table.

"20 euros, which seems to be a little more than what you promised before?" Liang En asked the butler opposite after glancing at the number on the check.

Because before this, the Earl's Mansion clearly offered a reward of 15 Euros for this mission, so Liang En was a little surprised why the Earl's side would pay an extra 5 Euros.

"The extra 5 is an extra reward from the earl." Butler Lubzon said seriously.

"Because what you have done now has solved a problem that has plagued us for decades for the family, and has brought back the missing family member. Therefore, Your Excellency the Earl feels that you should be rewarded a lot to express his gratitude."

"Besides, our Earl asked me to tell you that the wealth you found earlier involved more people than we had imagined, so we may not be able to calculate the true value of those things until after Christmas—— "

"It's okay, when you have calculated these things clearly, you can just give me the money again." Liang En shook his hand and said with a smile.

According to the news he saw on the gold bars before, the money involved at least 20 to 30 hereditary noble families.So after more than 100 years, it is definitely not something that can be done in a short time if you want to figure out the relationship inside.

To give the simplest example, some nobles have become extinct, but there are many heirs to wealth.So who gets the money is a big question.

"Thank you for your understanding." After hearing Liang En's words, Butler Lubzon nodded slightly to him again to express his gratitude for his understanding. After the two sides chatted for a while, the butler left.

"We've made a fortune this time." After the butler left, Pierce's eyes lit up with excitement.Although according to the agreement he will only get 1/10 of the money, but earning 2 euros in less than a week is definitely not a small amount.

"Yeah, I did get rich." After putting away the check, Liang En asked Pierce. "By the way, what should we do next, do you have any new information?"

"There are some jobs, but none of them are very good." Pierce sent a list to Liang En while talking.

"Similar to these warehouse auctions or clean-up tasks are purely physical work, I don't think it is worthwhile for us to do these tasks. Of course, if there is really no alternative, then this work is also acceptable."

"How about the job of exploring the training base of the Homeland Guard?" After going through all the lists of these jobs, Liang En asked, pointing to one of them.

"This makes me hesitate, because this place was abandoned after World War II, and it's still in the East End of London." Pierce glanced at the message on his phone and said.

"During World War II, the base was in the eastern suburbs of London, but after the end of World War II, the base was completely abandoned, and at the same time, it was surrounded by the gradually developing city."

"Then since the 70s, that area has gradually turned into a so-called decaying area, until this year, someone bought all the land and prepared to develop new real estate."

"That is to say, if there is anything valuable in it, it should be taken away?" Pierce said.Liang En also realized why he hesitated.

The so-called decaying communities are places similar to downtown Detroit, so those unemployed people with empty pockets have a high probability of looting all valuable things.

"Yes, but it's not unhelpful to search there," Pierce said. "Because it's only £150 to go in and search, and we can take what we want out of it, and we don't have to be responsible for cleaning up the rubbish."

"That's it." Liang En tapped the phone screen with his fingertips and said, "At least compared with other places, this base is the most cost-effective one."

That afternoon, Liang En and the others flew back to London.After a night's rest, they drove to the training base on the edge of the city early the next morning.

It is said to be a training base, but most of the empty fields that belonged to the training base have all been built, so the real place for them to explore is only a three-story main building and a two-story annex building on the side.

After paying 150 pounds in cash to the person who opened the door, Liang En and the others walked into this not-so-large yard.

"It seems that the situation here is not good." Seeing that there are no doors and windows, only a building with empty door frames and a yard full of garbage, Liang En blurted out.

"Based on the money we paid before, the situation here is considered normal." Pierce was in a better mood. After all, he had more experience in this industry than Liang En, so he was already mentally prepared beforehand.

After a brief discussion, Liang En and the others decided that the metal detector would start searching from the yard.Because compared to the interior of the building, which had obviously been searched several times, the situation in the yard was much better.

"I have a reaction here." According to the assignment, each of the two people was responsible for searching half of the yard. As a result, Pierce was lucky and found some underground metal reactions first.

This thing was not buried deep, and the two men dug down only five or six centimeters with a small shovel before they felt that the shovel touched something hard, and then they began to clean up the soil on it little by little with that place as the center.

As the soil was gradually emptied, the metal objects that had been covered by the soil gradually revealed their true appearance.It was a round, rusty metal can the size of a grown man's fist.On the surface of the round tank, there are still many places with black paint remaining.

"I know what this is." Pierce recognized the true identity of this thing the first time he saw it. "This should be a canister for a gas mask."

Sure enough, after taking out the jar and turning it over, Liang En found that the bottom of the jar was densely covered with small holes, which should be used to allow air to enter the jar.

"Before World War II, the British mainland had a total of 8700 million gas masks. The corresponding Germans had only 900 million. Because the British military believed that once the war broke out, the enemy would use the air force to drop a large number of gas bombs on the British mainland."

"So when World War II broke out, the British Air Defense Committee distributed gas masks to everyone and asked everyone to carry them with them. There is an old gas mask in the attic of my house now."

"You British people were so happy back then." Hearing what Pierce said, Liang En said with a sigh.

At this time, he thought of the ancestors of Huaxia, even the front-line soldiers, not many of them had these things, and they even had to dip their own urine in a towel and fight the enemy desperately in the poisonous gas of the RB devils.

"You should say they are British, but I am Irish." Pierce shook his head. "Compared to the nouveau riche in Germany, Britain, which has plundered the world for hundreds of years, has a much deeper background than we imagined."

"Of course, this is also a good thing for us. Because it means that we can find more valuable things here."
