Chapter 57 Exceptions
"So, it's not a bad thing to be careful when searching." Liang En said seriously to Pierce in a restaurant a few hundred meters away from the courtyard just over an hour later.
After the policeman finished questioning Liang En, a man in a chemical protective suit checked them from top to bottom before letting them go and telling them to come after 3 pm.
From the chat with the police afterwards, Liang En learned that this iron box contained mustard gas used to train soldiers in World War II, and if it was accidentally leaked, it would easily cause harm.
This is also the reason why the police waited for a while before coming over after Liang En's photos were sent, because they needed to meet up with the specialized personnel of the Porton Down Laboratory who handled these biological and chemical weapons, and then came together.
"You're right, and both of us are lucky, at least none of the jars leaked." Pierce said after swallowing the steak in his mouth. "So what shall we do next, shall we go in and explore after 3 pm?"
"That's for sure. After all, the police also said that this is a gas tank for training, and the amount of poison gas inside is not large. Even if it is leaked, we will be injured at most if we smell it and run." Liang En thought for a while and said. .
"More importantly, this kind of gas canisters will not be distributed much at the training site, so the ten canisters of poison gas in that box are probably all the poison gas in this place."
"That's right, let's go there in the afternoon." Pierce nodded. "By the way, I just saw that you have been looking at that broken building. Is there anything in the broken building?"
"I suspect that there may be some good things hidden in that building and they haven't been taken away." Liang En looked at the diners around and said in a low voice, "Because I noticed that the house has been renovated many times. Mark of."
"What's wrong with this?" Pierce's face showed doubts. "That place was used once in World War I since it was abandoned, and then operated as a regiment headquarters until the 30s. It was used again in World War II."
"Before each opening, this building will undergo a comprehensive overhaul, and even the double-story building on the side was built before World War II, otherwise you would think where the wires of the lights in the old building came from. "
"But most people would not excavate anything on the load-bearing column during maintenance." Liang En said as he took out his mobile phone, and then showed Pierce the pictures he had taken earlier.
"There is indeed something wrong." Pierce frowned looking at the obvious piece of cement on the concrete of the load-bearing column that was different in color from the surrounding ones.Apparently, it had been dug up here in the past, and then refilled with cement.
"What do you think is hidden here? It can't be another damn gas bomb." After looking at the photo for a while, Pierce said suddenly. "Another gas bomb and we'll be in real trouble."
"Probably not. The previous gas bombs were obviously disposed of randomly after they were used up. You know, the management of this second-line area during the war may not be as strict as the front line. That's why there are dangerous goods littering."
"But if you want to throw it away, it's enough to dig a hole in the yard and bury it." Liang En pointed to the marks on the pillar in the photo. "There's no need to dig a hole in a solid pillar."
"It makes sense." Pierce zoomed in on the photo while talking, but Liang En was in a hurry when he took the photo, so he couldn't see the details at all.
"Although we can't see what's in it right now, this doubt is enough for the two of us to search that place thoroughly." Pierce said, putting down his phone helplessly.
At around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the police officer who had called Liang En and the others called again to tell them that the yard cleaning was over and they could go back now.
After receiving the call, Liang En and the others who were ordering a non-alcoholic drink to pass the time at the bar immediately drank the drink at the bottom of the cup, and then drove back to the militia training camp.
Unexpectedly, the person who was in charge of the construction site and a middle-aged man in a suit were waiting at the entrance of the training camp. When they saw Liang En and the others arriving, they greeted them.
It turned out that the middle-aged man was the person in charge of the construction site. He came here this time to thank Liang En and the others for their help in eliminating this hidden danger. In addition to verbal thanks, he also refunded the 150 pounds he had collected before and gave them 500 pounds. thank you fee.
"It seems that we are really lucky. At least we can exchange that useless thing for money." After saying goodbye to the two people on the construction site, Liang En gave half of the 650 pounds to Pierce.
"I don't want to have such luck again." Pierce shook his head after accepting the money. "If we used a big shovel today and used a little more force, we probably would have to spend the next two days in the hospital."
After entering the main building of the building, the two of them began to beat suspicious walls and pillars with the tools in their hands. After more than an hour, they found three mezzanines hidden in the walls or pillars in the room. .
These interlayers were all excavated from the original building itself, but were later sealed with red bricks and cement, and then painted.
To be honest, these hidden places built on the building itself are really hard to find. If it weren't for the fact that the whole building was destroyed by the sun and rain for decades, the two different cements showed different colors. No one will be able to discover it for decades.
The first one to be opened was a secret room in the basement. This secret room should be the largest in terms of size. Unfortunately, after the two panted and smashed the bricks, they only saw a long green wooden box inside.
"Ha - we found a weapon box." After two people moved the weapon box out vigorously, Liang En tapped the wooden box with his finger and said. "Guess what gun is in there?"
"It's probably a bunch of wooden guns. You must know that even the regular soldiers didn't have many guns when they retreated from Dunkirk, and many militiamen really only had wooden guns left during training."
Pierce shook the box as he spoke, and there was a sound of heavy objects colliding inside.
"Train with a wooden gun, you won't tease me, will you?" Liang En couldn't believe it. After all, his motherland was an agricultural country at that time, so he could only face brutal enemies with crude weapons.But Britain is an old industrial country.
"The regular army still barely has guns, but this is the camp of the Homeland Guard." Pierce also said helplessly. "Only half of the Homeland Guard had guns at the time, and most of them were civilian guns."
"These civilian guns are brought by the Homeland Guard members, so there is a high probability that they will not stay here. And the professional weapons issued after the supplies are abundant in the later stage have serial numbers, and the higher authorities will definitely recycle them."
"So you think this thing is a wooden gun? But when I was carrying it just now, I seemed to hear the sound of metal colliding." Liang En said as he took out a crowbar to pry up the wooden box. "I'll bet you a pound it's a real gun in here."
"I bet, this is definitely a training gun made of wood." Looking at Liang En who was prying the box, Pierce took out a one-pound coin from his pocket, and then said.
