Chapter 77 A well in the vault

Since the two are common, it saves Chi Heng a lot of trouble.

"It seems that the nuclear battery array in the basement is also supplying power here... huh?"

When the vault door was opened, what appeared in front of Chi Heng were rows of wooden shelves filled with cardboard boxes. It was unclear what they were used for.

He walked over doubtfully, took out the labor protection gloves from his trouser pocket and put them on. He stood on the front shelf and looked at the carton. He saw an unknown object wrapped in newspaper in the carton, so he carefully tried to take out a piece, "

What is so heavy?"

Unable to grab it with one hand, Chi Heng was forced to grab a piece of newspaper with both hands and slowly opened it. What came into view was a rectangular piece of reddish metal - gold!

"Gold, gold bricks?"

Chi Heng was so shocked that he was stunned on the spot. After he came to his senses, he quickly opened other newspapers and found that the carton was full of gold bricks wrapped in newspapers.

Each gold brick weighs at least ten kilograms!

There were at least thirty gold bricks stacked in a cardboard box!

"999.9..."

"12.5Kg..."

Previously, Chi Heng encountered so many extreme weather conditions of life and death in the "Absolute Realm", encountered terrifying humanoid monsters in the bottomless pit, and had to face the terrifying bandage monster...

He was armed and did not relax his vigilance because of the gold worth billions of dollars. On the contrary, with so much gold stored here, the danger might be even greater!

"Bad Copper" obviously didn't know anything either.

But that's not the point. What shocked Chi Heng was the wall of the well...

Chi Heng sweated on his forehead and counted patiently. There were exactly 30 gold bricks in a carton. There were five shelves above and below. There were 8 cartons on each floor, and there were a total of 16 shelves. If there were no gaps, they would be stored.

Got 19,200 gold bricks!

Each 12.5 kilogram gold brick contains 240,000 kilograms of gold, a total of 24 tons!

Today's gold price is more than 400 US dollars per ounce. So according to a simple calculation, the gold stored here is worth at least 3.386 billion US dollars!

This is a very terrifying amount of wealth, not to mention that the value of gold cannot be simply converted into equivalent banknotes.

"Junk, what do you think this is?"

Does the old uncle think that giving this gold to Chi Heng is a disaster rather than a blessing?

But this well looks very strange when placed here.

Chi Heng was frightened and could not imagine that so much gold was stored here.

"It looks pretty disgusting."

Ordinary people may indeed get into trouble when faced with this astonishing wealth. It is 100% certain that a slight mistake and the news will lead to a huge disaster.

He quickly went to the second shelf to check, and tore open many newspapers in the cartons. They were all gold bricks stored here.

Originally, the US$100,000 that his uncle left to him was a very considerable amount of wealth, but compared to the thousands of gold bricks in front of him, it was completely worthless.

Chi Heng motioned to "Broken Copper and Rotten Iron" to open the door.

"Bad Copper" obeyed the order and used a mechanical claw to unscrew the wooden door. After it opened with a creaking sound, the lights inside turned on.

Fortunately, he was not the only one here, Chi Heng asked reluctantly calmly.

"Shattered Copper" walked in front, and Chi Heng followed. What surprised him was that the room was not big, only a dozen square meters at most. There were no shelves, no gold, and no other things inside.

A...well?

"How much gold does this have to be?"

Chi Heng was trembling with fear and took a few steps back until "Shattered Copper" walked forward and looked down.

Unlike the utility room where there are lights hidden on the well wall, there is no light inside this ancient well. When Chi Heng shines a flashlight on it, the bottom cannot be illuminated at all, as if all the lights have been swallowed up.

.

When we arrived at the end of the gold warehouse, there was indeed a door standing there, but unlike the previous treasury door, this door was very ordinary, just an ordinary wooden door, even more ordinary than the "Gate of Moros".

He still didn't believe it, so he asked Junk over: "Junk, do you think this is gold?"

Chi Heng took the flashlight and moved forward again, shining it a few more times, "Is this really a well? If there is a secret passage down there... forget it, I won't go down even if you kill me."

Chi Heng frowned slightly. The old uncle didn't explain in the will of the safe that the gold here was normal, but why didn't he explain it in the notes? Although the old uncle behaved like a Riddler in the notes, it was related to the "absolute world"

"If it's just gold, there's no need at all...

The sound of his heart beating could even be heard by his ears. It was like a big drum beating in the chest. The blood in the blood vessels was flowing at a fast speed, almost bursting out of the blood vessels.

Chi Heng, who was interrupted from his thoughts, reacted and reluctantly looked away from the gold. The money was so exciting, but a gold brick was worth as much as 176,000 US dollars. Even if he took it out, he didn't know how to safely exchange it.

into cash.

"Hmm? There's another door?"

"Junk doesn't know either."

It was a well made of stone bricks. It looked decayed and ancient. Other than that, there was nothing special about it. If it had been placed anywhere else, no one would have given it a second glance.

Just imagine, there is a well hidden deep in the utility room. There is a secret passage at the bottom of the well that leads to the vault door. There is an ordinary wooden door deep in the vault filled with gold. When you open it, it turns out to be an ordinary well?

Chi Heng didn't believe it. This well might also be the entrance to other secret passages.

As a human being, Chi Heng was thinking about this huge wealth, and his heart was filled with excitement. On the other hand, as a robot, "Shattered Copper" had no feeling for so much gold. It walked to the innermost part of the shelf and said:

"Sir, there is another door here."

If it is an ordinary metal, there is no need to set up a vault door to save it. The possibility of gold is more than 99%.

He stepped forward, took out the flashlight he had brought before but had no time to use, and shined it down.

"If it's gold...is it all gold here?"

"Wait a minute, why didn't I explain it in my notes?"

But no matter what time the heartbeat was, it was not as fast as this time!

When Chi Heng carefully identified the gold bricks, he found that each gold brick had its own number, as well as weight and purity identification.

The outside of this well is made of ordinary stone bricks. Logically speaking, the well wall inside should also be made of stone bricks, but this is not the case. Under the illumination of the flashlight, the well wall is dark red with dense wrinkles.

The surface has the elastic luster of meat, just like the intestinal meat wall of living things!

"Broken Copper" took a gold brick, and with a little force from the mechanical claw, it left a mark on the surface of the gold brick: "Sir, based on the texture, it should be gold."

"What the hell is this?"

As he said, even if there was a secret passage below, he would not go down there.

Just as he was about to leave, Chi Heng suddenly noticed that something seemed to be shaking at the bottom of the shaft. He couldn't help but frown, holding a gun in his right hand and placing the flashlight in his left hand on the barrel, ready for any eventuality.

The things at the bottom of the shaft became increasingly clear. There was indeed something... climbing up from the bottom.

"Hey, this is it?"

Under the light of the flashlight, the upper body of the shadow in the darkness was exposed... It was a naked human being. His hands and legs moved like a gecko, clinging to the dark red flesh wall of the shaft. He held up his head against the light,

The true face revealed turned out to be Chi Heng’s old uncle, Stanley Chen!
