Search for Treasure Worldwide Chapter 2958: Mauser 98K
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of treasure hunting around the world!
Following the first German anti-infantry mine, Mattis and the others discovered more than a dozen landmines, including two anti-tank mines and a mine modified with a large-caliber artillery shell.
In addition, they also discovered two flap traps and a quicksand trap.
With the discovery of these mines and traps, the sandy land leading to the ancient pyramid in front suddenly turned into a battlefield, and everyone felt like they were back in World War II!
"Boom, boom, boom,..."
Violent explosions kept ringing in the desert, deafening.
Every time a landmine explodes, the sky will be filled with sand and dust, shrapnel will fly in all directions, and there will be a deep or shallow, large or small sand pit in the desert.
Fortunately, this place is located deep in the Sahara Desert, with no human beings around, and no one passes by here. There is no need to worry about being discovered, thereby revealing the true location of Rommel's treasure!
A few hours later, this desert was blasted into the surface of the moon, with sand pits of various sizes everywhere!
However, the places where these sand pits are located have become very safe, and there is no need to worry about mines or traps anymore!
When the time came to noon, Matisse and the others had advanced nearly 200 meters and opened up a safe passage about 50 meters wide!
However, this is less than half the distance. The pyramid in front, covered with yellow sand, is still more than three hundred meters away from them.
More importantly, the closer you get to the pyramid, the more mines and traps there are buried under the sand, and the advancement speed will naturally be slower!
In the process of eliminating landmines and traps, Mattis, Seaman and others took turns taking turns to work in order to speed up the advancement!
Even so, working in an extremely hot, highly dangerous and stressful environment made everyone feel very tired, and everyone was completely soaked in sweat!
Seeing this situation, Ye Tian could only call a halt and let everyone take a good rest to recover their mental and physical strength, and then fight again in the afternoon to continue eliminating landmines and traps.
After withdrawing from the front line, both Mattis and Walker, as well as Seaman and others, collapsed directly to the ground!
They didn't even have time to eat lunch. After just adding a little fresh water, they fell asleep on the deck chair under the umbrella. It showed how exhausted they were!
While eating lunch, a historian from Harvard University asked in confusion:
"Steven, since Rommel buried a large amount of gold and silver treasure in this unknown pyramid, if he wants to take out this treasure in the future, he should leave a safe passage, right?
Can't you just find a way to find the safe passage? You can go in along the safe passage. There is no need to push forward with brute force. It is time-consuming and laborious to eliminate mines and traps one by one! ”
Ye Tian looked at the historian, then smiled and said:
"Yes, Rommel must have left a safe passage for him to come here in the future to transport this shocking treasure, but he never returned, and this so-called safe passage has long since disappeared. Safe!
Over seventy long years have passed. Under the influence of wind and sand, many of the large number of landmines planted by Rommel are estimated to be no longer in their original locations. They have long been carried by the quicksand and moved to other places.
That so-called safe passage is likely to contain many landmines. If we find that passage and believe that it is safe, I can guarantee that we will pay a huge price for it!
In other words, no place in this desert is absolutely safe. Faced with this situation, we can only move forward in a straight line in the current way. This is the most direct and effective way! ”
Hearing his explanation, the old Harvard historian's face suddenly turned red, and he felt a little embarrassed. He took it for granted!
Other experts and scholars present at the scene nodded and expressed their agreement!
Next, everyone discussed the follow-up exploration actions while eating lunch.
After lunch, Ye Tian and David also rested on the deck chairs under the umbrellas, as did the rest of the joint exploration team.
When the time came to around 2:30 in the afternoon, the exploration operation began again!
In the following time, deafening violent explosions were heard one after another in the desert, filling the sky with sand, dust and shrapnel!
This is deep in the desert, surrounded by desolate people. If it were any other place, people would think that a war had broken out and flee in panic!
Soon, the time came to about five o'clock in the afternoon.
Ye Tian and David were sitting under an umbrella chatting, enjoying the hot wind, admiring the scenery of the Sahara Desert and the explosions in the distance, when Matisse's voice suddenly came from the wireless invisible earphones.
"Steven, we found several boxes of German arms supplies under the sand, including several MG42 machine guns, a whole box of Mauser 98K rifles, and two boxes full of rifle bullets.
These arms and supplies are all brand new and have not been used. The MG42 machine guns and Mauser 98K rifles are covered with a thick layer of butter and tightly wrapped in oilcloth.
We checked the status of these arms and supplies. The butter on those guns had dried long ago, but as long as we find a way to wipe off the butter, these guns from more than 70 years ago can still be used!
What to do with these German arms supplies? Should they be detonated directly together with those mines, or should they be left behind? Although these items are antique firearms, it is not economical to take them away! ”
Hearing Mattis's report, Ye Tian couldn't help but become interested. He was bored right now!
"David, let's go over and take a look, Matisse and the others found something interesting"
As he spoke, he got up from the lounge chair and walked towards the bottom of the sand dune.
David also felt a little bored, so naturally he would not miss such an opportunity, so he immediately got up and followed him.
After walking down the sand dune, Ye Tiancai said through the wireless invisible headset:
"Mattis, these guns and ammunition left by the Germans should not be destroyed for the time being. They can be used as backup weapons for everyone. Maybe they will be used!
Especially those MG42 machine guns. Even in modern society, those things are still out of date. They are also very terrifying weapons. We just need them! ”
As soon as the words fell, Mattis responded immediately.
"Understood, Steven, maybe we will find other guns and ammunition left by the Germans"
While talking, Ye Tian and David had already come to Matisse and the others along the safe passage, and also saw the boxes placed on the sand!
As Mattis said, those boxes were filled with standard weapons used by the German army during World War II, as well as a large number of rifle bullets!
And those firearms were smeared with butter and wrapped in gun jackets. Although they looked mottled, every gun was intact!
As long as you spend some time and effort, wipe off the butter on the inside and outside of those firearms, and perform a little maintenance, these antique firearms from more than 70 years ago can regain their luster and become a deadly weapon again!
Ye Tian walked closer and looked at the firearms and ammunition. Then he asked for a pair of gloves from Matisse and put them on. Then he took out a Mauser 98K rifle covered with butter from the box and admired it. !
“I have always wanted to play with this famous World War II gun, but never found the opportunity. Unexpectedly, I found a whole box of brand new Mauser 98K here. This is the Sahara Desert. It seems that I can have a good day today. Addicted! ”
With that said, Ye Tian opened the bolt of the Mauser 98K gun and began to observe the situation in the barrel.
David standing aside, looking at this world-famous gun, couldn't help but feel a little itchy!
