Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus-Chapter 256 - 248: The Secret Path in the Mountains

Although some trees had died, others had stubbornly survived.

Inside the club, the items were very well preserved, perhaps due to the whole world being affected by, you know, that XG thing.

Since it wasn't operating at the moment, and seeing how nice the place was, especially with some items that looked quite expensive, everyone turned into bandits, packing up everything usable to take with them.

Li Hang even found some trolleys in storage to make transporting goods more convenient.

Speaking of the storage, we have to mention the wine cellar discovered here—it housed over a hundred barrels of wine, all original imports, and some internationally renowned rare wines:

Romanee Conti, Ripon wines, Lafite, Ausone Red Wine, Chateau Latour, Hua Estate wines, Mouton Rothschild, and Chateau Haut-Brion. There were many kinds—all quite impressive, though it was unsure if they were authentic.

For spirits, there were surprisingly only a few kinds: Mao Five Swords.

There were some craft beers...

Everyone was a bit excited to see this—it was good booze!

Li Tie simply led some people to drive the vehicles up from the foothill. In doing so, they completely ruined the exquisitely paved cobblestone road.

But that did not matter, they wouldn't come back again anyway, and it seemed like they wouldn't find any military supplies this time either.

So they took this opportunity to vent their frustration, to compensate for the disappointment of not finding any arms.

This place was located in the wilds, with no human footprint within 10 kilometers, which is probably why there was such an abundance of stored goods.

Maybe it was precisely because the area was so deserted that the items in the manor were preserved.

Otherwise, Li Yu and his group wouldn't have been so fortunate.

Aside from these alcoholic beverages, they also found some cigarettes.

In the storage room, considering that people would be gone for a long time, and the space was relatively sealed.

There were no vegetables, although there was some frozen meat in the fridge, but most of it was no longer edible.

These were useless, but after some searching, they found some pasta.

Around 5 boxes of it, plus 10 bags of rice.

There were 7 boxes of puffed snacks and 4 boxes of candied fruits.

...

Additionally, there were some other foods, these had relatively long shelf lives, and even though some were only labeled for a year, fried or vacuum-packed items actually had an extended shelf life.

There was no problem eating them now.

Uncle liked some peculiar trees and rocks, and he moved one extremely rare Taihu rock.

This Taihu rock alone, if sold before the apocalypse, would be worth at least a few hundred thousand, and he also took several of the largest Huashan pines, ancient plum trees...

Without taking up space in the heavy truck, these trees were tied to the roof of the car, from afar it looked as if the vehicle had grown trees on it.

Li Yu: "..."

Li Tie: "..."

...

Song Min had less interest in these things; after everyone had gathered food and daily necessities that could be used, she found a makeup room and cleared out all the beauty products, lipsticks, and perfumes.

...

Everyone acted independently since they hadn't found any arms this time and were about to return to the base. Since they were going back anyway, it made sense to take some things with them.

Moreover, after searching two places and finding nothing, everyone needed to vent their frustration somehow.

And that meant... try to empty this place as much as possible.

While everyone was busily moving stuff, Li Hang suddenly found Li Yu with an excited face.

"Bro, I just found a secret passage. Holy shit! It's so thrilling," said Li Hang, excited.

"Secret passage?" Li Yu said in confusion.

Could it be that this place is a hot spring club on the surface, but stores arms in secret?

That shouldn't be right. Places like this shouldn't...

Li Yu was puzzled, so he called over Li Tie, who was carrying an antique blue and white porcelain vase, and asked him to go check it out with Li Gang.

This hot spring club seemed very high-end; there were antiques enclosed in tempered glass at the heart of the venue, whether they were authentic or not, Li Tie wanted to take them.

"Oh, okay." Li Tie said as he let go, and a blue and white porcelain vase smashed to the ground, breaking into pieces.

...

Uncle was somewhat knowledgeable and picked up a piece of the shattered base of the vase, saying somewhat spasmodically: "This seems genuine; before the apocalypse, it could have been worth hundreds of thousands..."

"It's fine, there are two more over there," Li Tie pointed out.

Alright, it doesn't seem to be a big deal.

The rest didn't feel much either; antiques weren't very valuable in the post-apocalyptic world, but they could be worth something.

The group then approached the secret passage Li Hang mentioned.

It was at the very back of the club, hidden behind a fire door.

Behind the fire door, there should be a small electrical room.

But this electrical room was strange; it was quite large, and there wasn't much in it.

In the largest area was another door, about 3 meters tall and 2 meters wide.

There was a red button right in the center of it, which, when pressed...

The door slowly moved to the right!

Inside wasn't dark; it was filled with light. The design was quite ingenious, using differential separation, transparent glass guided light into the space.

Through this design, the room didn't appear dark at all.

A long corridor stretched downward, leading to another place.

The opening of this door was like in many movie scenes, its light shining on the faces of the three men.

Opening this door felt like opening a gateway to a new world.

Where did this door lead? All three were filled with anticipation.

Just from this setup, one could tell there was definitely something extraordinary inside.

The group continued to walk inside; the entrance was narrow, allowing only two people to walk side by side, but after several dozen steps, the path suddenly opened up.

The space ahead was vast, at least a few hundred square meters, with a massive turntable in the front that had some chairs on it.

The walls around were resplendent with gold; a giant Crystal Lamp hung from above, casting a dreamlike glow in the sparkling light.

This place was quite upscale.

That was the first impression as the three entered.
