Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 333 Looting the National Treasury and Digging Tunnels

Seeing that Chu Chen seemed to be showing signs of poisoning, the man in black continued speaking.

"Haha, it's all because you're too young. Your breakfast must have been delicious this morning."

"It's a pity. I've already put the Seven-Day Intestinal Severing Powder, a very famous poison of the Great Xia Dynasty, in your breakfast this morning. You only have seven days. During this period, you will find that your internal energy has mysteriously disappeared. If you don't take the antidote after seven days, then you can just wait to die with your intestines ruptured."

After the man in black finished speaking, Kato Kane stood up and walked straight to the iron cage.

Then he said earnestly, "Young Master Chu, as the saying goes in Great Xia, 'Those who understand the times are the heroes.' I'm not in a hurry; I'll give you time to consider."

"By the way, do you know why I've kept you here? You want that jade, right? Then stay here and guard it!"

"Also, this cage is made of tempered steel, so don't even think about escaping with your meager skills."

After saying this, he laughed heartily and led the group out of the enormous treasury.

Immediately afterward, as the golden door closed, the entire treasury was plunged into complete darkness.

Now it was Chu Chen's turn to be dumbfounded. Was Kato Yan an idiot?

I didn't know how to get in, so they just let me in like this.

However, to be fair, the national treasury was built much better than that of Ganpu. Whether it was the golden gate or the various blue stones, everything was so tightly sealed that not even a sliver of light could get in.

Moreover, the soundproofing was exceptionally good. Kato Yan led the officials out laughing loudly, their voices deafening, but the sound stopped abruptly as soon as the door closed.

Upon seeing this, Chu Chen waved his hand and a chair and a self-powered LED light bulb appeared.

"What an idiot! It's so private and soundproof, is it supposed to make it easier for me to operate?"

Chu Chen turned on the LED lights and stared at the jade stones as he spoke leisurely.

Then, with a wave of his hand, a portable angle grinder appeared in his hand. These things were readily available in that hardware store.

He skillfully attached a grinding wheel and began cutting into the iron bar behind the cage.

A short while later, Chu Chen walked out of the iron cage, holding a piece of iron pipe, and said leisurely, "This is called hundred-refined steel. It didn't even use up a single grinding wheel."

After saying that, Chu Chen walked towards the room full of emerald green jade stones.

He picked one up with his hand: "Hehe, not bad, genuine! Thumbs up!"

After saying that, with a wave of his hand, the jade stones disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, all entering Chu Chen's space.

After storing all the jade stones into his spatial storage, Chu Chen poured himself a ladle of spring water.

He turned and walked towards the gold and silver treasures, thinking to himself, "Since I'm already here, and Kato Yan is being so polite, there's no reason for me to let him go."

After working for a full half hour, until the entire warehouse was emptied, Chu Chen finally slipped into the space.

Chu Chen, who was inside the space, did not stay idle. He headed straight for the construction site around the space.

Then he stopped next to a small excavator and muttered to himself, "I never thought I'd get to experience operating an excavator myself."

Immediately afterwards, a small excavator appeared in the warehouse, and Chu Chen sat in the driver's seat.

After a little exploration, he grabbed the floor of the warehouse.

They dug while throwing soil to both sides.

At that moment, the soldier guarding outside the door said to the person next to him, "Brother, have you heard any unusual sounds? It sounds like they're coming from inside?"

"Stand your post properly. The Emperor has said that the ventilation shaft will be opened for one hour first thing tomorrow morning. As for the rest of the time, even if the sky falls, don't worry about it!"

After hearing this, the sergeant obediently shut his mouth and stood at the door like a wooden statue, his eyes scanning the surroundings like a camera.

Inside, Chu Chen was operating an excavator. At first, he would dig for a while and then stop to listen to the sounds outside the door, but as time went on, Chu Chen became more and more relaxed.

Whether it was Kato Kaname's confidence in the construction of his national treasury or something else, despite the great commotion inside, no one came in to take a look.

To prevent outsiders from coming in, Chu Chen specially tied about ten hand grenades and several smoke bombs to the door with thin thread.

Because the main gate opens inwards, anyone outside who pushes open the heavy gate will pull the pins on the grenades and smoke grenades.

He had plenty of time to pack up the excavator and slip into the space.

But at this moment, it seems a bit redundant. Since that's the case, let's wait until Kato Kaname thinks he's figured it out and uses it next time he comes in.

Chu Chen wielded the excavator, though he wasn't very skilled, he only needed the control lever.

Moreover, the task requirements are simple: just dig a tunnel through the warehouse so that you can get out.

So they dug for a full hour before finally seeing the foundation of the warehouse.

However, the foundation was too shallow, so Chu Chen got out of the car to check it out. He then spent another half an hour digging a meter deeper into the pit and started digging around the foundation.

After digging for about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, he put away the excavator, took out an entrenching tool, and crossed the underground foundation wall, digging upwards towards the outside.

With the strength of an eighth-rank, this little bit of physical labor is no problem at all.

Chu Chen moved extremely fast. Soon after, he and one of his engineers went up and saw a faint light. Chu Chen knew that it was candlelight and moonlight outside, and it must be night now.

Seeing this, Chu Chen chuckled and with a few strokes of his entrenching tool, he created an opening large enough for him to pass through.

After taking a few breaths of fresh air, Chu Chen vanished into the night in a flash.

Outside the palace, Chu Chen pulled out a walkie-talkie: "Where are you two?"

"Young master, what's up? Would you like to have a go at it?"

"What's the point of firing a shot? I'm coming to find you guys, we'll talk later."

After an incense stick had burned, Chu Chen arrived at the rooftop where Chu Yi and Chu San were.

"Young master, how is it?"

Upon seeing Chu Chen arrive, Chu Yi immediately asked anxiously.

"No rush, you two rest for a while. If nothing unexpected happens, there will be an explosion in the palace tomorrow."

"That's the signal for you to start fighting. I expect some experts will come. Chu Yi, you just need to fire rockets at the palace. Chu San, you hold off the soldiers who come to capture you two."

Chu Yi and Chu San nodded after listening, and then Chu San asked, "And what about you, young master?"

"I'm going to spar with that expert. You guys just need to protect yourselves and be careful."

In the darkness, after finishing his speech, Chu Chen laid out several boxes of artillery shells and bullets, as well as two transparent bulletproof shields, for Chu Yi.

Then they took out two bulletproof helmets and put them on; they were already wearing stab-proof vests.

With these things, dodging arrows is perfectly sufficient.
