Chapter 7: Fighting for the Country's Destiny with the Family
"Sun Yang, are we really heading in the right direction? We have dug more than seventy places and have not found the entrance at all. There are only rocks. Is it possible that your compass is useless in here?"
A tall and thin man in his forties said to a middle-aged man in a long gown.
The man called Sun Yang stared straight at the compass in his hand and did not respond to him.
A young girl next to him said, "More than ten days have passed. We only have half the time left. If we waste our time here, we might end up at the bottom when we go out.
I don't want our country to be punished again. Last time, our people were wiped out by a coalition of several countries in a battle. As a result, our country was hit by a tsunami and several cities were flooded.
Fortunately, we fishermen living on the coast all had boats and could swim, so we survived. Some people from inland areas who could not swim died in the tsunami. "
The girl's eyes became red as she spoke. What she didn't say was that although all her family members were still alive, all the family property that several generations had worked so hard to build was gone.
If it weren't for the help from the state, which moved them to inland areas and provided them with housing, they might not have been able to survive.
But compared with the previous affluence of her family, this was still far from enough, and she still felt like she was living under someone else's roof. She finally understood what her grandparents meant when they said that people are worthless when they leave their hometown."
"Yuzhen, don't say that. We have been looking here for such a long time. If we give up now, what if we are just one step away from finding it? Wouldn't that mean all our efforts will be wasted?
And if it's not here, it may not be found anywhere else. Judging from the nature of this national destiny battlefield, the place where we come in is our own territory, and other places belong to other countries, and they have probably found it long ago.
Unless we try to snatch it from those people, it will be a waste of effort, so we might as well continue to work hard here."
A dark-skinned middle-aged woman said.
"Yes, yes, that's right."
Others behind also echoed.
"I know, Aunt Yang, I'm just a little scared."
The young girl Li Yuzhen nodded. She knew all this. They had already spent more than ten days here and put in so much effort. If they were asked to look for it somewhere else, the others probably wouldn't want to move.
At this time, Sun Yang suddenly said: "It should be here. I think we may have dug a little off the track before. The compass has been circling here, so it must be nearby.
Let's try again and dig around together."
Although everyone had some concerns in their hearts, they still picked up the tools in their hands and started digging.
After so many issues, people have gained some experience. When the National Destiny Battlefield is about to begin, everyone prepares their equipment and puts it in a tool box or backpack. Even when going to the toilet or sleeping, they tie the backpack straps on their hands so that they can bring it with them when they come in.
So almost everyone has a military shovel. Although it is small, it is still quite practical.
Everyone dispersed around Sun Yang, with each person responsible for an area and starting to dig.
Although I am not as passionate as before, I will not be idle either. After all, it is related to my own destiny.
Everyone was digging quietly, and no one was in the mood to chat. After more than ten minutes, the middle-aged man who had been talking to Sun Yang before shouted, "Sun Yang, come here! Is this it?"
Everyone stopped what they were doing and gathered around. They saw that the middle-aged man Huang Rui had dug a pit more than 20 centimeters deep. Below it appeared a vertical stone with a very smooth cross-section. Some patterns could be vaguely seen carved on it.
Sun Yang walked up to him and helped dig with a shovel. Seeing this, others also came forward to help.
Soon a stone tablet nearly two meters long was dug out, and the words and patterns on it were all revealed.
Sun Yang's expressionless face also showed a smile, "Yes, it is here, this is a tombstone, it seems that the treasure we are looking for is the burial object.
Then we dig behind the tombstone and we should be able to find the entrance."
Everyone immediately became excited and started digging at the back of the tombstone. After more than half an hour, they dug out a large rectangular stone.
"This is the Dragon Breaking Stone."
Sun Yang spoke again.
Everyone knows what it is used for, but there is obviously something wrong. Why is this Dragon-Breaking Stone lying horizontally?
Before anyone could ask questions, Sun Yang answered first: "There must have been an earthquake here, otherwise the tombstone would not have been buried underground. The Broken Dragon Stone must have also been shaken down, so it is lying here."
Everyone was suddenly enlightened after hearing this.
This national destiny battlefield is quite interesting, because every time people are brought in, they are given tests based on the characteristics of each country, such as treasure hunting, and for the Dragon Country, people are either robbing tombs or digging ruins.
Western countries either salvage shipwrecks from the water or dig in caves on islands or underground. Some countries even dig for temple ruins or something like that.
Some are even placed in bird nests on trees, or in random caves, just like those people from Country M found them in caves, with the main purpose of adapting to the national conditions.
"Should we continue digging downwards? Or dig backwards? Since the Dragon-Breaking Stone is lying here, has the entrance been filled up?"
Huang Rui said to Sun Yang.
Sun Yang nodded, "It's possible, but it's definitely not too far away. Let's move the Dragon Breaking Stone first and see if the entrance is right below.
Given the nature of this national destiny battlefield, it is very likely that we will be in the dark."
Everyone agrees with this statement. This has happened more than once or twice. There was a treasure hunt that happened just like that. That time, although it was not an ancient tomb, it was just in an ancient house.
Everybody thought it was in a secret room or cellar, so they searched everywhere in the house, even dug deep in the yard and searched in the well.
It turned out that the treasure was actually the cabinet in the bedroom, which was just painted red. Some people still wondered if there was a secret passage behind or under the cabinet. When they tried to move the cabinet, they found that they couldn't move it at all and it didn't feel right. Only then did they realize that the entire cabinet was made of gold.
It might be the same now. They went to find a few sturdy sticks and pried the entire excavated Dragon-Breaking Stone aside at the same time.
Sure enough, they found a hole below. Before they could be happy, several guys with guns suddenly jumped out from behind.
"No, now our cause is incomplete, and the class will start from now on!"
The semi-automatic Mandarin made everyone feel a toothache, and they looked at those guys with anger in their eyes.
With his poor accent and flat appearance, you can tell he is from Korea. He is used to taking advantage of others and sitting back to enjoy the benefits. He has been squatting near them, waiting for them to find the entrance before jumping out.
