The maternal uncle and others who were following also came in and saw the scene inside.
Just as everyone was exclaiming, the maternal uncle's expression was a bit complex; based on his experience as a police officer, this place was somewhat similar to some places he had searched before.
After entering through the secret passage, there was a whole new world inside; not only was the space beyond their imagination, but the luxurious decoration inside was even more astonishing.
Luxurious, grand, rich!
Everyone continued to explore further and found many rooms inside, which varied in size, but even the smallest was over 30 square meters.
Inside, there were toilets, bathtubs, and some strange props, but the most prominent feature was a super large bed.
They even found a piece of fabric hanging down from the large bed in one of the rooms.
Seeing this, everyone recalled the movie 'Due West'.
They seemed to understand something instantly.
What the heck...
They thought there would be something else in the secret passage, but it turned out to be this when they came in?
Everyone investigated again, and in another direction of the hall, they discovered a huge gambling room, complete with mahjong, poker, and dice.
Wow!
This is truly comprehensive.
Everyone couldn't help but admire the person who built this base; in the wilderness, building such a manor on the mountainside.
Using hot springs as a disguise outside, and operating high-end XX clubs and gambling inside.
This was simply a huge money pit.
Everyone found some cash in the gambling room on the right, filling nearly half a room; it was the first time they had seen so much cash.
But no one had any interest.
At this moment, money had no value whatsoever.
It was even worse than waste paper; at least waste paper wouldn't get stuck when wiping and would be smoother.
Everyone was a bit disappointed; they thought there was another mystery under this secret passage, perhaps the possibility of firearms, but instead, they found a den.
There was nothing useful in this money pit, so everyone searched below, confirmed there were no other secret passages, and then returned outside.
They continued to move things; there were still many usable items from above.
Everyone kept moving things until noon; this mountain was quite marvelous, with natural hot spring pools.
After the rain these days, the hot spring pool was full again.
Everyone cooked on the spot, simply preparing some of the food they carried in their kitchen there, and then sat by the pool to eat.
Li Yu opened two bottles of red wine that he had just found in the wine cellar, drinking some to relieve fatigue.
Everyone shared it, averaging out to just a small glass per person, just to quench their thirst.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they started moving things again; there were still quite a few good things in this manor, just food, tobacco, alcohol, and daily necessities filled two large trucks.
These were not ordinary small trucks; these were large trucks that could pull tens of tons.
Everyone then scoured all the usable items in this manor until the vehicles were completely full.
Only then did they prepare to return to the base. Coming down from the mountain, tire tracks were carved into the ground.
Everyone drove back, and they were no longer as disappointed on the way, at least they had some gains.
They officially departed at 2 PM.
In the car, the scenery outside the window constantly receded.
Li Hang recalled seeing many things he had never seen before in that secret passage: why there was something on the stool, why there was a rope on the bed, and some strange props.
Although he generally knew what that place was for, he didn't understand how these props were used.
So he asked Li Yu, "Big Brother, how are those things used? They're too sci-fi."
Li Yu glanced at him and said, "Drive properly, I don't understand either."
The vehicle continued to drive forward, crossing the uninhabited area of about 10 kilometers.
Everyone drove without stopping; they had been away from the base for several days, and everyone was a bit tired outside. Although they had rested during these nights outside, the constant possibility of zombies appearing kept everyone on edge.
Everyone at this moment greatly missed their days in the base; normally, looking at that wall, they didn't feel it was very important.
But now, they increasingly felt the sense of security that wall provided.
Go home early!
This was everyone's unanimous thought.
So everyone drove relatively fast; since they were heading West, it was not the same route they came from.
Therefore, they still had to drive by looking at the map.
In a place not far from them, separated by two mountains.
There was a He Park, and the He Park was thriving.
Although the number of people was not large, everyone had busy tasks.
On both sides of the National Highway, some people from He Park were preparing to cross the mountain forest to return.
Suddenly, they saw a convoy of vehicles driving on the National Highway.
Strangely, on two of the vehicles, there were even several trees tied to them.
This made them stare wide-eyed.
"Lie down, don't let them find us," said a person who looked a bit older.
"Third Brother, why do their cars have trees tied to them?" the younger boy asked curiously.
"I don't know either, perhaps it's for aesthetics," the slightly older man thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a better reason.
"They came from the East and are now heading West... Where are they going?"
"It doesn't matter, let's quickly tell Mr. Wang later."
However, those driving on the National Highway did not notice that some people in the mountain forest had seen them.
They swept past.
The vehicles of the group drove at a very fast speed; this road was somewhat unusual, it seemed to have been cleared, so the driving speed increased significantly.
"Tie Zi, estimate the distance, can we still return to the base before sunset today?" Li Yu said.
Li Tie took out the electronic map, looked at it, and said, "It will take about 4 more hours to get home. It's 1:30 PM now, so we should get home around 5:30 PM."
"5:30 PM, that's about the time. The sun also sets around that time, right? Let's hurry up and try to get home before the sun sets today," Li Yu said.
He then spoke to the others in the car using the walkie-talkie, and upon hearing that they could return today, everyone began to perk up, as no one wanted to spend the night outside anymore.
The car speed increased again.
They whizzed past.
The mountain forests by the roadside, after the drought and then rain, had now recovered some vitality.
However, everyone had no time to enjoy the scenery; they were eager to return home as soon as possible.
Although this time, they went to two places and did not find any firearms, the items in these vehicles made their trip worthwhile.
