With the arrival of Derek and the others, this Gothic palace located deep underground suddenly became brighter.
At the same time, the underground palace presented on the live broadcast has become clearer, more magnificent, and more shocking.
However, people's focus is no longer on this underground palace at this time, but on the black crates piled up like a mountain.
Everyone is guessing or talking about what is in those black crates, how great and amazing the value of this Hitle treasure that has sensationalized the world!
Ye Tian and the others in this underground palace are the same. They are all staring at the black crates in front of them. Everyone is extremely excited, and their eyes shine brightly.
Derek they placed the exhaust fan on the platform inside Shimen, and then they took a lot of equipment and walked down the steps on the right side of Shimen, and they came to Ye Tian and Walker.
However, Ye Tian did not allow them to move freely, to explore other areas of this underground palace, to arrange electrical wiring and lighting fixtures to completely illuminate it.
For safety reasons, he asked Derek and others to follow him, gradually advancing, and exploring little by little.
The scale of this underground palace is too big, there are too many boxes stacked here, and the tall granite stone pillars together form a tall obstacle, blocking everyone's eyes.
Even Ye Tian, if he doesn't change the position, he can't see through everything.
He didn't know much about the situation in the corners. God knows if there are traps or even more deadly dangers in those corners that are shrouded in darkness.
Like Walker, Derek and the others, who just came down, were also dumbfounded, their eyes widened, looking at everything in front of them.
After they finished expressing their emotions, and their emotions calmed down a bit, Ye Tian smiled and said:
"Guys, our next task is very simple, which is to pry open these black crates and see what treasures are in these crates, except for cui gold.
You are a group of two, one holding a crowbar, and the other holding a lighting fixture, and cooperate with each other to pry open these boxes together. For the sake of safety, I have to go through each box.
No one knows the situation in these boxes. There may be traps inside, such as grenades and mines, or even TNT explosives, so you must be careful, no one can act without authorization."
"Understood, Steven, we know what to do, and no one wants to miss the grand celebration banquet held later"
Walker and they replied in unison, everyone was very excited.
Ye Tian glanced at these guys, then joked:
"If you act arbitrarily and accidentally touch the trap set by the cui scum of the SS head of the guard, then you will miss the grand celebration dinner more than once, but many times.
Of course, your family will receive a very generous pension afterwards, but I am very sure that you guys never want your family to get this pension unless your mind is flooded! "
"hahaha"
There was a lot of laughter at the scene. Walker and Derek all laughed and nodded at the same time.
In front of countless live broadcasts, there were bursts of laughter, and every laughter was full of envy, and even jealousy.
Steven this guy treats his subordinates generously, brave people fearlessly explore the high salaries and good treatment of the company's employees, it can be described as everyone knows.
Especially after each exploratory operation, the reward given by Steven this guy has already become a legend in the industry, can you not make people jealous!
After 's advice, everyone grouped in pairs and started to take action. The goal was the pile of black crates in front of them.
Soon, several teams picked a crate, carefully began to clean the dust and moss, and prepared to open these crate.
As for Ye Tian, he assumed the duty of inspection. He quickly scanned all these boxes to prevent accidents.
In fact, he had already clearly seen the situation in these black crates through perspective, and now he was just acting.
"This box seems to have no traps, Walker, you can pry it open, but you still have to be careful"
Ye Tian pretended to look carefully at the crate that had been wiped away from dust and moss, and then said to Walker and the others, allowing them to open the crate.
"Okay, Steven, we will be careful"
Walker nodded in response, and then acted.
In a blink of an eye, this crate has been pried open, and what is presented to everyone is still a box full of cui gold, radiating bright light under the light.
As soon as the box was opened, there was a burst of exclamation in this underground palace and in front of countless live broadcast stations.
"Wow! Another box of cui gold, this thing is so tempting"
"Isn't it! Why isn't the person who found these gold cui gold me? It's the lucky **** Steven, God loves that guy too much!"
Ye Tian looked at the box of cui gold, and then told Walker to re-seal the box and count it later.
Then, he walked to the side to check the crates beside Derek and them.
The crate also has no traps, and the things inside are also dazzling cui gold, filled with a full box.
The contents of the four or five crates that were pried open next were all the same. Each box was filled with cui gold. The golden light was brilliant, reflecting the magnificence of the entire underground palace.
With the appearance of a box of cui gold, on the square in front of the Temple Palace, in the surrounding area, and in front of countless live broadcast stations, there were endless exclamations one after another.
Looking at these dazzling nacui gold, many people's eyes are reflected in gold, full of crazy colors.
The sensational effect caused by this exploration operation has become bigger and bigger, and even stirred the entire world.
Especially many European countries that were invaded and looted by Germany during World War II, as well as some countries in North Africa, are paying close attention to this exploratory operation and watching this batch of crazy enough gold.
Without even thinking about it, these countries will soon make claims as the invaders, trying to get a share of this astonishing amount of nacui gold.
Not only that, some Jews and related organizations all over the world are also closely watching this batch of cui gold.
In the eyes of some Jews, this batch of nacui gold was scraped from their nation. Of course, they have good reasons to claim it.
However, they overlooked the most important point. They discovered that Ye Tian was the one who received the cui gold.
No matter many countries invaded by Nacui Germany during World War II, or Jews who have always regarded themselves as victims, they obviously think too much!
In the underground palace, the exploration continues.
After prying open six or seven crates one after another, Ye Tian stopped Walker and Derek and they did not let these guys pry open more boxes, there was no need for that.
"Guys, the pile of black crates in front of us should contain cui gold. In order to save time, we don't need to pry open these boxes one by one.
After we have explored this underground palace and grasped the general situation here, when we start the cleanup work, we will open each box and count how many gold ingots are in the box.
Let’s go and see what is in the pile of crates next to it. Maybe it’s another surprise. There are still many boxes waiting for us to check. There must be more surprises.”
Ye Tian said with a smile, and pointed at the pile of crates next to him.
As soon as his voice fell, before Walker and the others could respond, Cole's voice suddenly came from the wireless invisible headset.
"Steven, the person in charge of the Temple Palace and the officials of the German Ministry of Culture, as well as those experts and scholars, as well as the Berlin Catholic Church and Lutheran people, all gathered at the entrance of the Temple Palace.
These Germans are very emotional and strongly urge to enter the Temple Palace, enter the underground palace where you are, and participate in the ongoing exploration operations to explore this huge treasure together.
At this moment, these Germans are all blocked by Leonardo and the others outside the Temple Palace. The situation on the scene is somewhat tense. It is up to you to let these Germans enter the Temple Palace.
There is another thing. The staff of the German Chancellor’s Office just notified that the German Chancellor will come to the Temple Palace later. She wants to meet and talk with you. If you can’t meet, you can talk over the phone.”
Upon hearing the announcement, a sneer flashed across the corner of Ye Tian's mouth.
Why did the German Chancellor come? He was in a mirror of his heart. Of course, he came for Hitler’s treasure, and came for the dazzling gold.
As a defeated country in World War II, Germany, whether they prefer it or not, has been under the protection of the United States or under the surveillance of the US military for the past few decades.
Even Germany's national reserves of gold are mostly stored in the major vaults of the Federal Reserve. Germans and the German government will not return if they want.
They can only squeeze toothpaste from the US government bit by bit, like a beggar, even worse than a beggar!
That is their reserve gold~www.novelhall.com~ but it is held in the hands of others, which is beyond expectation!
The sudden appearance of these surprisingly large quantities of cui gold immediately turned the eyeballs of many Germans into red, and made them have some thoughts they shouldn't have.
This is the capital of Germany, Berlin. Except for people and harmony, the time and place are all in Germany. The German government is willing to let go of such a godsend opportunity to enrich the country's heritage!
After a while, Ye Tian walked aside, turned on the microphone of the wireless invisible headset and said:
"Cole, it's the same sentence. Without my permission, no one can be allowed into the Temple Palace, not only the Germans at the entrance of the Temple Palace, but also the German Chancellor who is coming soon.
You can reply to the staff of the German Chancellor’s Office. I am very happy to talk to the German Chancellor and discuss it. If you want to meet and talk, you can only wait until I get back on the ground.
As for the Germans who gathered at the entrance of the Temple Palace, you might as well tell them that whether they can enter the Temple Palace depends on the outcome of my talks with the German Chancellor. Let them wait patiently."
"Understood, Steven, I will inform the Germans"
Cole replied, and then moved on.
After finishing the call, Ye Tian led Walker and the others to the pile of crates next to them and continued their exploration.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
