“Look, shelter leader. This is the first strange place that we’ve discovered!”
After Feng Long swiped through the storage on the tablet a few times, a very unclear picture with a dark background gave them a general image of the place.
Su Mo glanced at it and saw a few Huaxia characters on the sign at top of the building.
Military Supplies Storage.
“According to the literal meaning, there is a high probability that this place is either Origin Territory’s weapon storage or where they keep their combat supplies in case of a battle.
!!
“The security around the place was excellent. Only the main entrance could be used to enter the building. Everywhere else was sealed tight with bricks and stones. There are eight guards at the main entrance, which is enough to show the place’s importance.
“This is precisely where it’s weird!”
Feng Long swiped the tablet and displayed the following picture.
He zoomed in a few times, and the details were instantly enlarged.
Through the gaps between the eight guards on duty, the small lights on the scout robot were able to capture the front of the building clearly.
It had a st.u.r.dy exterior wall and could be determined to be at least a thickness of two meters based on the material from the outside. This made the wall extremely difficult to break through with force.
The iron gate exuded a silvery reflection and was the height of two people, preventing outsiders from having thoughts of even entering the place.
It was impossible to sneak in or enter the place without the cooperation of the people guarding it.
However, the strange thing about the place was that the gate’s keyhole was illuminated, and there was a visible layer of dust.
The degree of the dirt was enough to determine that the gate had not been opened for more than half a month.
“It would be understandable that they wouldn’t need to open it for a long time if the place was used to store supplies for wartime.
“However…”
Feng Long continued to scroll to the next picture.
He flipped the tablet vertically and displayed the following picture. Upon seeing it, Su Mo became more attentive.
The scout robot’s unique size and mobility allowed them to find many clues undetectable by the naked eye.
On the rear side of the st.u.r.dy cage-like building, there was a small window of 20 centimeters in height and 10 centimeters in length that directly led into the building.
It was hard to determine whether they were used as anti-moisture ventilation or just an air vent.
On the outside of the window, there were only three thumb-sized iron bars made during early construction used as a prevention to prevent small creatures from entering and destroying the items inside.
The design seemed to have predicted that no harmful creatures would manage to get inside the small s.p.a.ce. Even if they did, these creatures were incapable of destroying the materials stored inside.
These iron bars were not a big problem for humans. A few small tools could easily weaken and break them easily.
The job was much easier for the scout robot.
Feng Long easily controlled the scout robot to break the obstacle and enter the small pa.s.sage successfully after a little effort.
Everything seemed to have been going very smoothly from the beginning.
However, the strange things were just about to begin.
Feng Long swiped to the next picture, which revealed more than a dozen shelves filled with large boxes.
“When I first entered the place, I thought I had stumbled upon their lair and could discover the kind of special weapons these people possessed!
“Unexpectedly…”
Feng Long displayed astonishment as he flipped to the final picture of the Weapon Supplies Storage.
“There’s nothing inside at all?” Su Mo frowned as he glanced at the picture.
The boxes were neatly organized. They were not only labeled with the time and date of storage, but they also detailed the quant.i.ty of the items.
They had three varieties of the most basic pistols that had different calibers.
Meanwhile, the advanced rifles, machine guns, and all kinds of ammunition had reserves of at least 30,000.
Lastly, there were a bunch of conventional weapons such as grenades, C4 explosives, shoulder RPGs, Short Range Surface-to-Air Missiles, and so on.
According to the recorded inventory, it would be able to arm a team of 300 to 500 people.
This team would be fully armed and equipped from head to toe.
There would not even be a hint of fear in this team, even in the face of a foreign army of thousands to tens of thousands of enemies.
Unfortunately…
Feng Long shook his head. “Nope! There was nothing at all!
“Not even a single pistol bullet could be seen!
“I can’t even confirm whether the boxes were filled at first. Most of them were sealed tight, and I only found out they were empty after opening them up. Inside them were not weapons nor ammunition but some worthless stones.
“To say there wasn’t something strange going on is impossible!”
