After resting for the night, they woke up early the next day and drove to Desert Coastal Storage Co., Ltd.

”Which one shall we start to work on first?” Big Quinn asked, munching on his sandwich while Godzilla was busy gobbling his breakfast, unable to speak.

Li Du replied, ”Unit 16. May God bless us with good items.”

Hans snickered, ”We’ve gotten some good items this trip. There’s already a large sum of money to earn here.”

He was referring to the Spirit of Ecstasy and the umbrella. Both items were new; if handled properly, they could combine them to sell for a price of 40,000 dollars easily.

Hans was very pleased with their 40,000 dollars in items, as he had made this trip merely to join the Hundred Thousand Club.

Li Du unlocked the storage unit. Big Quinn and Godzilla finished their sandwiches and started to work.

Two people worked faster than one, and more efficiently as well.

Big Quinn used to be a cleaner, always dealing with junk and heavy lifting, so he adapted quickly to the job, and even had more experience than Godzilla.

Unit 16 contained a vehicle chassis and the frames of some machine, which were difficult for one person to carry. The two of them worked together, however, which made the job easier.

Hans crouched at the door to study the items in the unit. Li Du asked, ”Did you figure out anything?”

He shrugged and replied, ”Nothing, these things are not worth much. They are mostly outdated ATV chassis and car frames that can't be assembled. Even if assembled, there isn’t a market for it.”

Hans kicked the car frame in front of him. As the frame had not been taken care of, it was rusty and almost fell apart from his kick.

Li Du pointed to the back where a big wooden box sat, and said, ”Open that big box—I’m interested in what’s inside.”

Godzilla and Big Quinn went up to open the wooden box, and a thick black cannon barrel appeared before them.

The two of them unanimously cried out in surprise: ”Boss, cannon!”

Li Du walked briskly toward them. ”What cannon?”

Godzilla carried the barrel out with his muscular arms with some difficulty. The barrel was purely made of steel and was particularly heavy. Although Godzilla could carry very strong items, his face was red after moving the cannon barrel.

Seeing the cannon barrel, Hans's eyes flashed with excitement; he exclaimed, ”Oh God, this is good stuff! Quick, quick, this is good stuff—there should be other accessories, where are they?”

The four of them worked together, and the steel parts, gun carriage, and wheels were found.

Looking at these things, Hans stroked the cold surface of the barrel and said, ”Oh my God, this is a real cannon. This is not a model for or a toy—this is a cannon!”

Li Du nodded. ”Yes, this is the god of war. I think it looks like the early days of the trench mortar. What do you think?”

Godzilla confirmed Li’s guess. ”It’s the Minenwerfer. Popular before World War I, but seen less often after.”

”Assemble it first, everyone,” said Hans. ”Assemble it and see if it’s okay. I mean if we can assemble it into the complete cannon, we'll be rich!”

The four men quickly started, even though they had never come in contact with a cannon before. Assembling the Minenwerfer, however, was not a complex process. The small components of the cannon were intact. They just needed to assemble the larger parts they found.

They assembled the base, set it on the wheels, and installed the barrel.

While they were assembling the cannon barrel, a knife fell out of it.

Hans took the knife out of the scabbard; the blade inside was still shiny with a thin layer of oil, apparently well-maintained by the former owner.
