Chapter 124 Revealing The Storage (2/2)

Li Du released the bug into the first unit from the extra auction. It was a storage unit full of tools such as hammers, chisels, electric saws, axes, and cutters.

The most eye-catching item was a large tarpaulin. The tarpaulin was covering something. After letting the bug in to see, he found that it was a small boat.

Even though it was a small boat, there were some differences from an actual boat. There were four wheels at the base; it looked like a hybrid between a sailboat and a jeep.

Li Du did not recognize what it was, so he didn’t know the value of it. He wasn’t interested to know. He took Hans away and left.

Since those words from Lil’ Rick, Hans’s mood was solemn. After going back to the first unit and realizing that it was all rubbish, his mood became worse.

The atmosphere was heavy. Ah Meow blinked and jumped, meowing twice. Then it ran over to help Godzilla clean up the rubbish.

The second unit had lots of bottles and cans. There were glass and metal ones. They were probably things that the veteran had collected to sell off as spare change.

Ah Meow brought the bottles out one by one, and soon it had racked up a small pile.

Li Du couldn’t resist the urge, and laughed. He wanted to praise Ah Meow, but then Ah Meow jumped and dove into the pile of plastic bottles, dispersing them all over.

The noises made by the bottles intrigued Ah Meow, and it became even more fervent playing with them.

Godzilla opened the chest in the corner and said in his naturally low voice, ”Boss, look at this.”

Hans walked over. When he looked into the chest, his eyes immediately brightened up. ”Lord, what is this? Special paper used by Nazi commanders during World War II?”

Li Du walked over, appearing interested, and asked, ”What is it?”

Hans took out a roll of paper from the chest. The paper was preserved well, protected carefully with plastic. On the paper were lots of Japanese words, and Japanese national and military flag symbols.

”What are these? Just pieces of writing paper?” Li Du asked, puzzled.

He wasn’t acting. He did know what was in the chest, but he didn’t know what it all really was.

Hans laughed. ”They are, but they are also not. If it were anyone else, they would not have recognized what these were. Fortunately, I have seen these before.”

”What are they?”

Hans said, ”They are said to be napkins, but not ordinary napkins. The paper was specially made for the higher-ups that were royalty-born.

”Their purpose wasn’t just to wipe their hands and *ss, but to document information. Because the quality of these papers is very high, they were waterproof and fireproof to some extent.”

As he spoke, Hans opened one of the rolls. Even after more than half a century, these papers still retained their tenacity.

Tearing off a piece, he used his lighter and lit them up. As expected, the flame wrapped around the paper, but it did not burn.

”If I’m not mistaken, these papers are a nice-sounding brand, called Edelweiss. It’s a kind of plant that grows in the mountainous areas of Hokkaido, Japan. It was also a folk song that was trending in Japan during World War II,” he added.

Li Du gave him the thumbs up, and said, ”Awesome, buddy. That explanation was professional enough, but are they worth any money?”

Hans nodded and said, ”We have to see who we’re selling them to. I have a way to sell them. Every roll should be able to make 400 dollars. With this amount, let me count… Yeah, a total of 15 rolls, so 6,000 dollars.”

”A roll would sell for 400?” Li Du was stunned.

Hans said, ”If they are sold to ordinary people, they won’t be worth much. But if we can sell them to the right person, then 400 dollars is a conservative estimate.”

After moving away the chest of papers, they saw that there was another chest below. Li Du opened the cover, and a black mess of steel appeared before them!

The mess of steel was composed of several parts, with a tripod, a thick iron pipe, and a bullet catch. When these were assembled, it would become a machine gun!

The machine gun was well preserved, with machine oil on it. With the cover opened for a short while, the pungent smell of machine oil rushed out.
