Chapter 77 A Well in the Vault
Since the two are common, it saves Chi Heng a lot of trouble.

"It seems that the nuclear battery array in the basement is also supplying power here...Huh?"

The door of the vault was opened, and what appeared in front of Chi Heng were rows of wooden shelves filled with cardboard boxes, whose purpose was unknown.

He walked over suspiciously, took out labor protection gloves from his pants pocket, put them on, stood on the front shelf, looked at the carton, saw that there was an unknown object wrapped in newspaper in the carton, and carefully tried to take out one, " What is so heavy?"

Unable to grasp it with one hand, Chi Heng was forced to grab a piece of newspaper with both hands, slowly opened it, and what came into view was a rectangular piece of red metal—gold!
"Gold, gold bricks?"

Chi Heng was extremely shocked, and was stunned on the spot. After he realized his reaction, he quickly opened the other newspapers and found that the cartons were full of gold bricks wrapped in newspapers.

Each gold brick weighs at least a dozen kilograms!

Inside a cardboard box, at least thirty or so gold bricks were piled up!

"999.9..."

"12.5Kg..."

Waiting for Chi Heng to carefully identify the gold bricks, he found that each gold brick has its own number, as well as weight and purity marks.

He still didn't believe it, so he asked "Broken Copper and Iron" to come over: "Junk, do you think this is gold?"

"Battered copper and iron" took a gold brick, and with a little force from the mechanical claws, it left a mark on the surface of the gold brick: "Sir, according to the texture, it should be gold."

"If it's gold... is it all gold here?"

Chi Heng was terrified, it was hard to imagine that so much gold was stored here.

He hurriedly went to the second shelf to check, and tore open many newspapers in the cartons, all of which were stored here in pieces of gold bricks.

If it is an ordinary metal, there is no need to set up a vault door to store it. The possibility of gold is more than 99%.

"How much gold does this have?"

With cold sweat on Chi Heng's forehead, he counted patiently. There were exactly 30 gold bricks in a carton, and there were five layers of shelves, with 8 cartons on each floor, and a total of 16 shelves. Purchased 19200 gold bricks!
Each gold brick weighs 12.5 kilograms, and there are 24 kilograms of gold, a total of 24 tons!
Today's gold price is more than 400 US dollars per ounce, so by simple calculation, the gold stored here is worth at least 33.86 billion US dollars!
This is a very terrifying wealth, not to mention that the value of gold cannot be simply converted into equivalent banknotes.

Before that, Chi Heng encountered so many life-and-death extreme weather in the "Juejie", encountered terrifying humanoid monsters in the bottomless pit, and had to face terrifying bandage freaks...

But no matter that time the heartbeat was not as fast as this time!

The beating sound of the heart was even heard by his ears, the thud thump was like a big drum beating in the chest cavity, the blood in the blood vessels flowed at a fast speed, almost bursting out of the blood vessels.

Originally, the 10 US dollars left to him by the old uncle was a very considerable wealth, but compared with the thousands of gold bricks in front of him, it was completely worthless.

"Wait, why didn't the old uncle explain it in the notes?"

Chi Heng frowned slightly. The old uncle didn't state that the gold here was normal in the will of the safe, but why didn't he state it in the notes?Although the old uncle acted like a riddle in his notes, it involved "extreme boundaries". If it was only gold, it would be completely unnecessary...

Does the old uncle think that handing over the gold to Chi Heng is a disaster or a blessing?

Facing this astonishing amount of wealth, ordinary people may indeed cause trouble to the upper body. It is 100% certain that a slight mistake will reveal the news and lead to a shocking catastrophe.

As a human being, Chi Heng was imaginative and excited in the face of this huge amount of wealth, while the "broken metal" as a robot had no feeling for so much gold. It walked to the innermost shelf and said: "Sir, there is another door here."

"Huh? There's another door?"

Chi Heng, whose contemplation was interrupted, came to his senses and reluctantly turned his eyes away from the gold. The wealth is touching, but the value of a gold brick is as high as 17.6 US dollars. Even if he took it out, he didn't know how to exchange it safely. into cash.

At the end of the gold warehouse, there was indeed a door standing, but unlike the front door of the vault, this door was very ordinary, just an ordinary wooden door, even more ordinary than the "Moros Gate".

Chi Heng motioned for "broken copper and rotten iron" to open the door.

He was armed with a weapon, and he didn't let down his vigilance because of the gold worth billions of dollars. On the contrary, with so much gold stored here, the danger might be even more dangerous!

"Battered copper and iron" obeyed the order, and used the mechanical claw to unscrew the wooden door. After the creaking sound opened, the lights inside came on.

"Battered copper and rotten iron" walked in front, and Chi Heng followed behind. To his surprise, the room was not big, at most a dozen square meters. There were no shelves, no gold, and no other things inside. A...well?

It was a well made of stone bricks. It looked decayed and old, and there was nothing special about it. If it was placed in other places, no one would pay a second glance.

But the well is placed here, which is very strange.

Just imagine, in the depths of the utility room, there is a well hidden. At the bottom of the well, there is a secret passage leading to the door of the vault. There is an ordinary wooden door deep in the vault full of gold. After opening, it is an ordinary well?
Chi Heng didn't even believe it, this well might also be the entrance to other secret passages.

He stepped forward in two steps, took out the flashlight that he had brought but didn't have time to use, and shone it down.

Unlike the hidden well wall in the utility room, there is no lighting inside this ancient well, and when Chi Heng shines down with a flashlight, the bottom cannot be clearly seen at all, as if all the lights have been swallowed up .

But this is not the point, what surprised Chi Heng was the wall of the well...

The outside of this well is made of ordinary stone bricks. It stands to reason that the inner well wall should also be stone bricks, but this is not the case. Under the illumination of the flashlight, the well wall is dark red with dense wrinkles. The surface has the elastic luster of meat, just like the intestinal meat wall of living things!

"What the hell is this?"

Chi Heng was terrified, and took a few steps back until "Broken Copper and Iron" came forward and looked down.

"Junk, what do you say this is?"

Fortunately, he is not the only one here, Chi Heng asked calmly.

"Junk doesn't know either."

"Battered copper and rotten iron" obviously didn't know about it.

"It looks disgusting."

Chi Heng took the flashlight forward again, and irradiated it a few more times, "Is this really a well? If there is a secret passage below... Forget it, I won't go down even if I'm killed."

As he said, even if there is a secret passage below, he is not willing to go down.

Just when he was about to leave, Chi Heng suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something shaking at the bottom of the well. He couldn't help frowning, holding the gun in his right hand, and putting the flashlight in his left hand on the barrel, ready just in case.

The things at the bottom of the well became more and more clear, and there was indeed something... crawling up from the bottom.

"Huh, is this?"

Under the light of the flashlight, the shadow in the darkness exposed the upper body... It was a naked human being, with his hands and legs moving like a gecko, clinging to the dark red fleshy wall of the well. He raised his head against the light, The revealed true face turned out to be—Chi Heng's uncle, Stanley Chen!
