Chapter 572 It’s all fake
The moment the bullet collided with the top of the cave, a spark splashed out, quickly igniting the gas on the top of the cave. Looking at the moment the fire was coming, Gin turned over and jumped into the cabin, closing the door with his backhand.
The water poured down in an instant, knocked over the mast of the ship, and poured into the cabin through the gaps. The entire cabin was full of water, and the huge sailboat trembled and shook in the water, slowly floating towards the surface.
The moment the water came in, Chu Ming swam towards the warehouse. When he came in, he placed underwater micro-bombs at several locations on the ship. After all, he didn't intend to let this ship land successfully, because these so-called treasures were all fake. If someone secretly hid a piece of it in their pocket after landing, wouldn't that be a disaster...
So, taking advantage of the explosion on the top of the cave and the pressure of water pouring in, Chu Ming pressed the switch of the bomb. These miniature bombs were specially prepared by Chu Ming. The explosion sound was not loud and the range was not very wide, but this ship was three hundred years old. Even if the power of the bomb was small, it was enough to blow it away.
The slight explosion was not obvious in the turbulent sea. Everyone just felt that the boat could not withstand the pressure due to the violent shaking, and the bottom of the boat exploded directly.
Chu Ming looked at Conan and Xiaolan who were looking at each other beautifully in the water and sharing a miniature oxygen stick, and ignored them. After all, everyone would die in the sea except these two protagonists.
Carrying an oxygen tank, Chu Ming found Gin and Lafitte floating sideways next to a large wooden board. He used the system to sense the location of Vermouth and motioned for the two to follow him.
This place is not far from the sea surface and the pressure is not great. They successfully found Vermouth who had been waiting on the sea surface in an airship as soon as the storm stopped. At this time, she was looking at the bottom of the sea anxiously, with a worried look on her face, and no one knew what she was thinking. She was so focused that she didn't react until Chu Ming and others climbed onto the boat.
"How did you get up here?" Vermouth was a little surprised. "Didn't they say that the undersea earthquake was blocked?"
"If it's blocked, just find another way out." Lafitte smiled and looked at Vermouth. "I didn't expect you to care about us more than you look. You looked at the bottom of the sea so worriedly. Do you think we've had an accident?"
Chu Ming rolled his eyes quietly and said, "Don't say it, really don't say it." He dared to bet all his points that none of the worry in Vermouth's eyes just now was for Lafitte. After all, in Vermouth's eyes, what was there to worry about a few old perverts? She was only worried about her dear angel.
Sure enough, the next second, Vermouth spoke with a smile: "Of course, you three are the backbone of the organization. If you are all trapped, I will definitely find someone to rescue you. I heard that a girl was also kidnapped by two bounty hunters. Did you see her?"
"I saw him and killed him. After all, we can't let others know that we found the treasure." Chu Ming was murderous and deliberately did something bad.
Vermouth could hardly hold back the smile on her face: "Solved? How did you solve it?"
"How else can I solve it? Of course -" Chu Ming raised his palm and made a snapping gesture, "Those two bounty hunters fell before they could even survive a single blow in my hands."
“What—huh? Bounty hunter?” Vermouth’s face had turned pale, but when she heard the second half of the sentence, her heart felt like it was on a roller coaster and then fell back down, “You—”
"Huh? What's wrong with me?" Chu Ming asked knowingly, "Sister is also interested in those two people? Oh, you should have told me earlier, or I would have brought them back to you."
Vermouth glared at Chu Ming secretly. This boy knew who she wanted to ask about, yet he was still joking with her.
Since Gin is still here, Vermouth can't keep staring at him and asking questions. She can just chat with him casually. If she asks too many questions, with Gin's keen sense, he will definitely realize that something is wrong, and then it will put Xiaolan in danger.
"Where is the treasure? We need to send someone over..." Vermouth couldn't help but ask when she remembered the message she had received before asking the organization to send a ship as soon as possible.
"Have you notified them?" Chu Ming turned and looked at her.
"Not yet. I'm sending a message to the nearby base now." Vermouth said as she took out her cell phone.
Chu Ming quickly stopped him: "Don't send it, the treasure is flying away."
While driving the motorboat, Lafitte asked, "What happened underwater? I seemed to hear an explosion."
At that time, he saw Chu Ming's figure swimming towards the warehouse like a fish. Thinking of the treasures in the warehouse, he also wanted to go over to see if he could help. Unexpectedly, a wave came over and blew him away, and he almost hit the mast.
As he grabbed the door frame to stabilize his body and looked at the wood that was almost deformed in the water, he suddenly heard a slight explosion coming from the direction of the warehouse.
Chu Ming looked at Lafitte in surprise. He didn't expect that Lafitte could still hear the faint explosion in that situation. It turned out that there were no easy people in the organization.
"When the water rushed in, I went to the warehouse. I wanted to see if I could save something, but when I got to the shelf, I found that the boxes inside had exploded. In my hurry, I only had time to grab the most valuable thing from the shelf. After all, I couldn't come here in vain. The rest of the things are probably swept away. It's no use calling for a boat, so I'll go back to the island and pick up Chianti and the others to go back together..."
As Chu Ming spoke, he took out a small box from his arms. Even after three hundred years, the patterns on the light red wooden box were still clear. The box did not look decayed at all and indeed looked priceless at first glance.
Gin took the box and looked at it carefully. The box was seamless, without any gaps on the top and bottom. However, when he shook the box gently, he could hear the sound of something being shaken inside. When he knocked on the wooden box, he could also feel that the box was indeed empty.
"It looks a bit like a Chinese trap box." Gin examined it carefully for a while, frowning a little, "Let the people at the research institute take a look when we get back."
"It's something from China three hundred years ago. It can't be cheap stuff in such a tightly sealed box. I have good taste." Chu Ming raised his eyebrows proudly. "It's agreed that the people in the research institute can study it, but the thing is mine. This is the spoils I got at the critical moment of life and death."
"..." Lafitte rolled his eyes unabashedly, "You look like you've never seen the world. I see that the luster of those jewels is dull. Even after being in the cave for many years, they still feel soft to the touch. I guess most of them are fake, and the same goes for artworks. Many of them are copies. If I hadn't seen that the gold just now was real, I would have doubted whether this treasure was real..."
???
You can see this???
