The Life of a Son-in-Law in a Courtyard House

I need to buy myself some time so that Director Hou won't think about this matter.

Therefore, Yang Dalin needs to speed up his arrival.

It would be great to have a plane to go there.

Driving is faster than taking the train.

But it was too tiring, and the speed was far lower than that of an airplane.

Unfortunately, Yang Dalin had a few stolen small planes in his spatial storage, but he dared not and did not know how to fly them.

Yang Dalin plans to learn about it when he has the chance.

I'll take a small plane for a spin whenever I have the chance when I go abroad.

Because many developed countries abroad have amateur aviation enthusiasts.

There are also many civilian agricultural propeller aircraft.

When flying, be careful to fly low to avoid being detected by radar, so that you are less likely to be exposed.

Even if radar detects it, one can lie and say that the civilian aircraft got lost.

Even civilian propeller planes are much faster than cars.

When Yang Dalin was driving on the vast grasslands, in suitable terrain, he reached speeds of nearly 100 kilometers per hour.

At this speed, the jeep can reach this speed.

There aren't many pedestrians or trees on the vast grassland, and there's been little snowfall here this year, so we can just do whatever we want.

Anyway, Yang Dalin has good eyesight.

Yang Dalin drove for several hours straight. When he got tired, he would go into his personal space to rest for a while. When he got hungry, he would eat something and then continue driving at high speed.

When encountering areas with bad terrain or thick snow, Yang Dalin would slow down.

Or you could switch to another car.

If the road becomes too difficult to travel, switch to a motorcycle.

Even so, it still took Yang Dalin more than 30 hours to drive the approximately 1,600 kilometers to reach the vicinity of Fengdong County.

In his previous life, Yang Dalin had searched for the newly discovered secret fortress built during that period.

There is a large underground space in this fortress.

There are many passageways.

If all of them were connected, the distance would be hundreds of kilometers.

It is evident how much hard work and labor were required to build it.

I wonder how many people died from exhaustion.

It's possible that after it was built, all of these people were killed.

Therefore, the grudges of the past should never be forgotten, generation after generation.

Yang Dalin arrived in the county town in the evening.

He didn't stop or even enter the county town. Instead, he bought a local map near the small county town's train station and drove to the vicinity of the small mountain village where the secret fortress had been discovered.

The entrance to this fortress was very well hidden; it was directly destroyed by the Japanese bombing.

After that, a lot of soil and stones were buried, and lush vegetation grew here. The local people had no idea that there was a secret fortress in the mountains.

Moreover, the villagers in this area were all gradually relocated here after the liberation.

Before liberation, there were no villages within a ten-mile radius; the people had long been killed by the scoundrels.

The fortress was discovered in the 1920s by reviewing previously captured materials and conducting a gradual exploration.

Yang Dalin stopped and looked at the quiet and peaceful little mountain village from afar, without disturbing the villagers.

I tucked the car away and then hiked into the mountains.

Yang Dalin remembers that the entrance to the secret fortress was located about ten kilometers north of the small mountain village.

In the video, Yang Dalin vaguely remembered the terrain at the entrance where the news footage was taken.

The terrain is very treacherous, situated at the hidden foot of a highest peak.

It seems there's a small river just a few dozen meters away on the other side.

There is also a large, strange stone next to the entrance.

Yang Dalin went into the mountains and searched for several hours before finally finding the big rock.

Yang Dalin rested for a while, not daring to delay, for fear that people would come from the mountains when it got light.

Yang Dalin immediately deployed the excavator and began digging with it.

Yang Dalin had already scouted the surrounding area and found no hunter's huts or hunters living in the wild.

We're not afraid anyone will hear the roar of the machines.

Just dig through it as soon as possible.

Yang Dalin put all the excavated stones and soil directly into his space.

They dug several meters deep before they found a huge stone slab.

Yang Dalin removed the soil around the stone slab and put the stone slab into his spatial storage.

A huge driveway that trucks could drive through appeared.

However, there were still quite a few pebbles inside, completely sealing off the entrance to the cave.

These are called gravel, but each piece weighs several hundred kilograms.

It seems that the Japanese first blocked the passage with some gravel, then covered it with a large stone slab, and then buried several meters of soil and rocks behind it.

After Yang Dalin put all the rubble into his spatial storage, he took off his mask and was able to breathe easily.

It seems there are quite a few secret ventilation openings inside.

It's quite dry inside.

You can breathe normally.

Yang Dalin collected the rubble but found no corpses or anything like that of someone who had died in despair.

Yang Dalin continued to explore further inside.

Okay, so there are a lot of Japanese soldiers' remains, but they all seem to have been poisoned.

They all died in their dormitories.

It seems that those who die don't experience much pain.

It seems they were all killed in their sleep.

As expected, the people we hate the most are the Japanese themselves.

To maintain secrecy, they would have to kill even their own people; otherwise, if too many people knew about it, the place would have been discovered long ago.

Yang Dalin wandered around inside for a while and then discovered a secret entrance that extended downwards.

There's probably another layer below, or even more than one.

Upon reaching the second basement level, one finds numerous warehouses filled with Japanese weapons, ammunition, canned food, and other supplies.

The food supplies seem to have been wasted, after all, it's been almost twenty years.

There's probably still some of the canned food that's edible.

There were also many stolen gold and silver jewelry items in a warehouse, but Yang Dalin didn't touch them.

Yang Dalin then went to the third basement level, where there were several larger warehouses, all of which were empty.

You can even drive right in at the warehouse entrance.

Without hesitation, Yang Dalin sorted out and released all the items he had looted from the Russian strategic reserve warehouse.

The priority for release is grains, rare crude metals, etc.

These things are the most abundant in the space.

Yang Dalin took these out first.

Yang Dalin originally intended to put many of the stolen technical documents, laboratory instruments, factory machinery, and library books here as well.

But then I thought about it again and realized it wasn't appropriate.

It would be better to choose another place and indirectly hand it over to Director Hou.

Those books and a lot of technical materials are well over four or five years old; it's really strange that they're here.

The grain is placed here, so why did the top ones spoil while the bottom ones didn't? We don't care about that.

Anyway, someone will find an excuse, and it will be easy to fool them.

Metal mines are easy to store, so these things are fine.

But those technical documents and stuff are really not suitable.

Yang Dalin needs to choose a different approach.

Anyway, two-thirds of the space has already been freed up.

There's no need to rush right now; let's think of a solution slowly.

Yang Dalin quickly erased all traces he had left behind.

Then they quickly went outside.

After exiting, Yang Dalin did not release the rubble from the cave entrance. Instead, he deliberately left a small gap in the large stone slab, not sealing the entrance completely.

Then a small amount of soil and stones were added on top, and finally a thin layer of snow was placed on top. The soil and stones on the outside did not seal the gap.

If anyone stops here even for a moment, they will be able to sense the wind blowing from the stone wall.

If this person isn't stupid, they might suspect something's fishy and might dig it up to take a look.

Then you'll discover this fortress.

Yang Dalin then covered all the traces of the excavator he had left behind, as well as the traces of his footsteps on the mountain, with heavy snow.

Then they went down the mountain and left.
