Chapter 79

The next day, amidst the pleasant chirping of birds, Wang Yong stretched lazily, slung the electromagnetic assault rifle hanging from his chest to his back, and slowly crawled out of the tent to prepare for washing up.

The morning in the primeval forest was no longer as silent as the night, with the sounds of various animals echoing continuously. A few forest wolves were lying on the other side of the small river, looking at this human who made them feel very close with puzzled eyes. A very thin and weak little wolf pup, just learning to run, even crossed the not-so-deep river to Wang Yong's feet, rubbing its head against Wang Yong's calf affectionately, then looked up at him with a pair of very cute big eyes. It was no different from a puppy at home, at least that's what Wang Yong thought.

After playing with this very cute little guy for a while, Wang Yong suddenly remembered that the little guy's parents were still on the other side of the river! He quickly turned to look across the river, but there were no wolves there. The few wolves had quietly left at some point. The little wolf pup seemed to have also noticed the departure of its parents and began to howl urgently, but being young, it lacked the authority of its elders, making its cries even cuter. Wang Yong, puzzled, picked up the restless little wolf pup, wondering why the wolves had stayed on the other side of the river and left the little wolf pup behind after he woke up. Could it be that his luck had suddenly improved? Unable to figure it out, Wang Yong had to start comforting the sad little wolf pup.

After giving the little wolf pup a bowl of spiritual spring water to drink, the little guy finally calmed down. However, the little guy became very dependent on Wang Yong, following him closely wherever he went. Wang Yong named the little guy "Baimao" because there was a tuft of prominent white fur on his forehead. As for why the pack of wolves had given this little guy to him, Wang Yong guessed that these wolves might have been raised by humans and then released back into the wild. Baimao might have been sick, and his helpless parents thought that the humans who had raised them might be able to cure their child's illness. On the way to the edge of the forest, they happened to meet Wang Yong, who they liked, and seeing him play happily with Baimao, his parents and siblings quietly returned to the depths of the forest.

It must be said that Wang Yong's guess was quite reliable. The leader of this wolf pack was indeed picked up by border guards in the wild and sent to a zoo, where it was raised by humans and then released back into the wild. It gradually established its territory in this primeval forest. This wolf was very friendly to humans and even often guided lost border guards and tourists in the forest. Most impressively, it could distinguish between good and bad people, once leading several drug traffickers chasing it to a border guard ambush. Therefore, it was very popular among the nearby border guards, and whenever it encountered danger or was injured, it would run to a familiar border outpost for help.

When Wang Yong set out again, he threw Baimao into the small world, where the spiritual energy would be very beneficial to him. Once in the small world, Baimao liked this somewhat unfamiliar new environment very much. At first, he was restless and wandered around because he couldn't see Wang Yong, but after Wang Yong's comfort, he immediately started to play happily in the small world.

Three days later, Wang Yong crossed a large mountain on the border and entered Myanmar, a country where Buddhism is prevalent, and almost all the citizens are Buddhists. However, Myanmar, which is devout in Buddhism, is also one of the most war-torn countries today, which is a great irony. Buddhism is meant to encourage people to be good and refrain from killing, but some Buddhist believers here pray to Buddha while inciting violence.

This is a country primarily based on agriculture, with over 60% of the population engaged in farming. The main agricultural products include rice, wheat, and sugarcane. What makes this country famous is the Golden Triangle, located at the intersection of China, Myanmar, and Thailand, which is a base for drug cultivation and processing, and the world-renowned Myanmar jade. The Golden Triangle has gradually declined due to the continuous joint crackdown by China, Myanmar, and Thailand, with many forces being dismantled and eliminated. As the jade fever continues to rise, Myanmar, as the world's largest jade producer, has gradually become one of the country's most important sources of income.

Just as Wang Yong was preparing to continue his journey to collect species, the comprehensive combat system suddenly flashed red. Wang Yong immediately stopped, grabbed the assault rifle, because the flashing red light was warning him of danger nearby. After carefully checking the comprehensive combat system, Wang Yong immediately relaxed. The combat system, modified by Xiaoguang, displayed a line of Chinese characters: "A weapons depot has been discovered."

How could there be a weapons depot here? Wang Yong couldn't help but wonder. The Myanmar government wouldn't build a weapons depot so close to the Chinese border, and other forces wouldn't dare to do so either. The People's Liberation Army is not the army of the Qing or the Republic of China; especially the Chinese Army, which is recognized as the strongest in the world, is not to be provoked by the Myanmar people.

Since the self-defense counterattack, although some neighboring countries occasionally make provocative noises, they all have their limits, and no country dares to truly anger China. Because once this sleeping Eastern lion is provoked, it will show its sharp claws and tear apart anyone who dares to challenge it. History has proven this point, and not just once.

Another strange thing was that no one was found in or around the weapons depot. How could a weapons depot be unguarded?

With a puzzled mind, Wang Yong followed the instructions of the comprehensive combat system and came to a cave at the foot of the mountain. Without hesitation, Wang Yong entered the cave with the alien electromagnetic assault rifle. After walking about ten meters, it became darker inside, so Wang Yong turned on the tactical flashlight on the rifle and continued to observe. This cave was clearly man-made, with obvious signs of artificial excavation on the stone walls. There were even electric lights and wires on the ceiling. However, it was unclear why no one was there, as if it had been abandoned. After walking another ten meters, a metal door blocked the way. Not wanting to waste time, Wang Yong activated the energy light saber, and a white light flashed, forming a blade of energy. Wang Yong raised the light saber and thrust it into the metal door. It cut through like a hot knife through butter, effortlessly. With a turn of his hand, a metal plate about one meter wide and 1.6 meters high was cut out. The unsupported metal plate fell to the ground with a "bang." After waiting a moment and feeling that there was no danger inside, Wang Yong bent down and crawled in.

Once inside, Wang Yong looked up and was stunned. It was indeed a weapons depot, but the weapons outside were clearly old and outdated. Upon closer inspection, they were indeed Japanese equipment from the war. There were several Type 92 heavy machine guns and Type 11 light machine guns, commonly seen in war dramas, and a few grenade launchers, which even children knew were Japanese equipment. Wang Yong looked around and found a generator next to the entrance. He tried to start it, and surprisingly, the old generator, which had been abandoned for many years, started successfully. Immediately, the lights in the cave lit up dimly.

Now Wang Yong clearly saw the vastness of the weapons depot. He was in a large hall, which was probably over a thousand square meters. Machine guns were aimed at the door he had broken, and several skeletons in Japanese military uniforms were sitting behind the machine guns, as if ready to strike the intruders. In addition, there were three passages in the hall, each wide enough for two trucks to drive side by side. With the help of Xiaoguang and his combat system, Wang Yong quickly learned the true nature of this vast underground facility.

This weapons depot was built by the Japanese when they moved south into Myanmar. The entire base was very large and almost entirely underground. On a steel table in the hall, Wang Yong found a Japanese-written base introduction and map, confirming his guess.

This base was built in late 1944, when the Japanese were already showing signs of defeat. It was constructed by the Southern Expeditionary Army to support continued fighting. The base stored a large amount of weapons and a small amount of fuel. It included nearly 6,000 Japanese Type 38 rifles, 200 Type 96 light machine guns, 500 British Bren light machine guns, 100 Type 92 heavy machine guns, 127 American Browning heavy machine guns, nearly 10,000 British and American submachine guns and rifles, 360 grenade launchers, 180 mortars of various types, 32 37mm anti-tank guns, 12 Type 92 infantry guns, 78 75mm mountain and field guns, 12 105mm howitzers and 12 105mm guns, 10 Japanese Type 95 tanks, 10 armored vehicles, 100 trucks, 30 three-wheeled motorcycles, 13 American Jeeps, and various American and British tanks and armored vehicles.

The ammunition was piled in a huge ammunition depot covering over 2,000 square meters, almost countless. According to the records, the initial amount of ammunition stored included 3 million 6.5mm Arisaka rifle rounds, 1 million 7.7mm Type 92 heavy machine gun rounds, 10,000 grenade launcher rounds, nearly 20,000 mortar rounds of various types, and over 6,000 rounds of various artillery shells. Later, a large amount of ammunition and weapons captured from the British and American forces were added, but the exact numbers could not be determined. However, from the rows of anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns and the mountains of ammunition in a discovered storage room, Wang Yong estimated that the quantity was definitely not small.
