Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

Just like the West in everyone's mind, the wilderness in this area is very desolate. After leaving the community, people and plants disappear, except for the occasional car or two that speeds past on the black road and leaves a burst of dust.

According to the previous plan, Liang En and the others would enter the mountainous area as quickly as possible, and then follow a valley that could barely pass vehicles to find the previously marked location.

Fifteen minutes after leaving the city, Liang En drove the car off the road and down the shoulder according to the GPS positioning, and then drove towards the mountainous area further north.

"It feels easier to walk here than expected." After driving on the wasteland of the Gobi Desert for a few minutes, Joan of Arc said to Liang En, who was sitting in the cab.

"I thought it would be bumpy here, but now it seems like it's not a big deal other than a little bit of dust."

"We haven't entered the mountainous area yet. This is just the Gobi Desert." Liang En said while holding the steering wheel. "This kind of place is not very friendly to low-riding cars, but we are driving off-road."

"What's more important is that this place is not pure wilderness, but has been built by people in the past, so even if it has not been renovated for so many years, it is much better than the wilderness."

"You said this is not pure wilderness?" Joan of Arc looked out and asked, "There are some human traces here, but isn't it normal to have these things around the city?"

"Yes, it is normal to have some man-made objects around the city, but there are some things that are very strange here. For example, these things-" At this point, Liang En looked around and stopped the car, then pointed. Said the ruins not far away.

"But there is something strange about these things. For example, the pile of iron racks are not ordinary iron racks, but the frames of wooden barracks built by the American army during World War II."

The United States entered the Second World War very hastily, so after the war broke out, the rapid expansion of multiple armies brought a lot of problems to the Americans, whether it was weapons and equipment or food, clothing, housing and transportation.

The situation of pure weapons and equipment could be better, because at that time the United States was doing its best to provide weapons to the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union, so temporarily requisitioning weapons to arm soldiers was not a big problem, but this was not the case in terms of life.

For example, at that time, many U.S. troops even in the mainland could only use the reserved C rations, because the scale of the gathering of personnel was never expected before, and most of the transportation capacity needed to ensure the transportation of personnel and weapons and equipment.

The problem with the barracks was even greater. At that time, the United States simply did not have that many military camps available, and it was too late to build temporary ones. As a result, many soldiers had to live in tents for several months.

However, after these problems emerged, the United States also made large-scale optimization and improvements, such as the ruins that Liang En and the others saw.

This is a wooden prefabricated panel barracks with steel as the skeleton and wood as the filler. It can be mass-produced in the factory and transported to a designated location for rapid erection.

Although this kind of house is indeed much worse than those permanent military camps made of reinforced concrete or masonry. But at least it is much better than living in a tent, and it can also maintain the morale of the army.

Of course, the durability of this type of building is also very poor. Basically, after the end of World War II, these buildings were basically all abandoned, so this type of building can often be found in places where there are not many people. of the wreckage.

But there is a clear difference between this wreckage and the wreckage in other places, because when Liang En and the others inspected it, they found that the structures of these temporary buildings were not abandoned here after being abandoned, but were buildings that were originally here.

"This should be a very complete military camp." After letting Liang En drive her around the ruins, Joan came to her own conclusion.

"Although there are hundreds of years apart from my time, many things have not changed much. For example, this military camp has the same dense internal structure and sufficient defensive buildings as it did in my time."

As a local military camp, this military camp does not pay as much attention to military defense as those field military camps, so the overall style is like a military camp from an older era.

However, after traveling around, Liang En and the others also discovered the problem with this military camp, which was why there was such a military camp in this place.

Judging from the remaining buildings of the military camp, there were about five to six hundred people stationed in this military camp, but no matter how you looked at it, this place did not look like a place worthy of military garrison.

Because this military camp is located neither on a traffic thoroughfare nor in a hotspot area around the town, the surrounding environment is not even suitable for simple garrisoning or military training.

If we insist on talking about advantages, we can only say that this place is concealed enough, but for the United States, which was almost never attacked during World War II, there is really no need to do so.

"I think we are getting closer to the truth now. At least the location of this military camp looks really strange." Liang En commented on this military camp.

"And I now have a hunch that the reason why this military camp is here is related to the treasure hidden by the previous major, and all the answers will be revealed after we enter the mountainous area."

As the vehicle continued to move forward, the ground began to change. The first thing to change was Joan. She felt that the current road conditions were obviously much better than before.

If those roads before were pure washboard roads, then the current roads are large sandpaper roads. Although they are not very smooth, at least they are not as bad as before.

"It seems that someone once built a road here." After the car drove out for a few minutes, Joan of Arc said in an uncertain tone, because she vaguely saw some traces of roads on the ground.

After hearing what Jeanne said, Liang En stopped the car again and studied it, and found that this side was indeed not ordinary sand and stones, but some asphalt roads that had been obviously weathered and damaged.

"Yes, this is a wartime road, and it is of a relatively high grade." Because the road was weathered, Liang En quickly figured out the structure of the road and came to a conclusion.

Wartime highways were actually emergency products that focused on rapid construction, while quality and durability were secondary and were even allowed to be ignored in many cases.

For example, this asphalt road is like this. It was built by directly leveling the land and then paving it with asphalt. Maybe this road looked fine after it was first built, but now it is obviously weathered.

In particular, the part of the road on the plains was so badly weathered by the wind and sun that it almost disappeared, while the road here survived smoothly because it was close to the mountains and was sheltered.

"Military camps and military roads, it seems that this place is likely to have a hidden military base or something similar." After finishing the inspection, Liang En stood up and looked at the mountainous area of ​​the target location in the distance.

"According to my judgment, the next journey will only take half an hour at most. I hope everything goes smoothly."
