Thirty meters ahead is another turn and then walk about 20 meters from east to west and he will reach the secret road exit. When he go out, he will find the secret room full of weapons and C4 explosives.
When he got here, Ye Tian stopped abruptly, disappeared from the corridor as soon as he flashed, bowed his head and walked into a dark room close to the wall.
To be precise, this is not a dark room.
This is just a hole with no door and no more than two meters in depth. It is also made of granite and red brick. It is very strong and should be used for people to rest or use as a cave for soldiers.
As he disappeared from the main passage, the emergency light was quickly extinguished and the secret road fell into darkness again. Only the dark room still had lights escaping from the outdoor headlights!
But this light soon disappeared, Ye Tian raised his hand to turn off the headlight, then glanced at the monitoring screen and then put the phone in his pocket.
Suddenly, there was no more light in the secret road, it became pitch black and he couldn't see his fingers!
And it was very quiet, except for the barely audible breathing, there was no more sound.
Ye Tian did this because he saw from the surveillance screen that Thompson rushed into the warehouse that was transformed into a studio.
In the next step, the old guy will definitely enter the secret room full of weapons and ammunition.
Next, whether he fled quickly along the secret road, or picked up the M16A4 automatic rifle and the M67 grenade to resist and even set a time bomb or set fire to destroy the criminal evidence, it is not known!
Just in case, Ye Tian immediately chose to be silent so that the old guy would not hear the movement in the secret road and it was not time for a face-to-face confrontation.
This secret path is now Thompson's only hope of escape. If he knows that this side has been blocked, he might choose to destroy everything right away.
Obviously, no one wants to see that kind of result!
Just as Ye Tian picked up the phone, Kenny's voice came through the earphones.
"Steven, Thompson has entered another warehouse with lights on, you have to be careful!"
Although Ye Tian didn't mention the current situation of the secret road, Kenny and the others had guessed that the exit of the secret road was there and it must be in the warehouse that was transformed into a studio.
"I saw it on the monitoring screen, don't worry, there is no problem on my side, you continue to stare at the monitoring!"
Ye Tian said in a low voice, with strong confidence in his tone.
Immediately afterwards, Matisse's voice came over.
"Steven, we have opened the shrine and are ready to enter the dark road!"
"Okay, be careful when you enter and you must take the initiative!"
Ye Tian replied in a low voice and then ended the call.
The secret path became quiet again, as if nothing had happened!
...
In the basement of the Old North Church apartment building, in Thompson's personal studio.
Although they have seen it on the video material, when Matisse turns the angel statue to open the shrine and reveal the hidden tunnel in front of them, everyone still involuntarily makes a sound of exclamation.
"Wow! The design of this underpass is so ingenious. It is hard to imagine that it is a underpass built in 1723, which is longer than the national history of the United States!"
"This old guy Thompson is so cunning! He hides all the stolen antique works of art in the ground. No wonder no one has discovered it for 20 or 30 years! What an old fox!"
Before Matisse and the FBI Secret Service sent a few words of emotion, they were interrupted by others.
The group of people from the Historical Heritage Protection Advisory Committee of the Ministry of the Interior rushed up and squeezed Matisse directly aside, very vigorous!
Then, these guys' eyes suddenly widened, staring at the dark passage in front of them one by one, their eyes were round and shining and they were almost crazy with excitement in an instant!
"A miracle! It is a miracle! As far as I know, the underground palace connected by this underpass is most likely the oldest existing underground building in the United States.
What's more commendable is that this underground palace is so magnificent, almost intact! This is definitely a very important historical discovery, enough to shake the entire country!"
"It's so beautiful! The typical Georgian architecture is exactly the same as the Old North Church. This should also be William Price's masterpiece, extremely precious!"
In addition to the guys from the Ministry of Interior, the person in charge of the Old North Church also squeezed in.
Looking at the secret road that suddenly appeared in front of him, his mood was very complicated and he couldn't describe it with mixed sorrow and joy.
The good news is that this is indeed a major discovery.
The Old North Church has one more eye-catching attraction and it will become more famous as a result. Tourists will definitely come to admire the underground palace with a longer history than the United States!
Sadly, the shame that Thompson this bastard brought to the Old North Church will never be able to be washed away and it will surely become the biggest stain in the history of the Old North Church.
When people refer to the Old North Church in the future, they will not only think of great historical events and heroes such as the War of Independence, the beacon and Paul Revere.
People will also think that there was once hidden the craziest art thieves in the history of the United States! There are countless top antique artworks stolen from all over the world!
Those devout Anglicans will never forget that a pastor of the Old North Church deceived them and deceived the entire city for nearly thirty years!
This is the most deadly blow. All the clergy of the Old North Church will be ashamed of it, so that they lose their prestige and will never be able to lift their heads!
After a bit of emotion, the leader of the Heritage Protection Committee team turned around and said solemnly to Matisse and the FBI Special Service:
"Gentlemen, when you step into this secret path, every step will be taken in the history of the United States. Please pay attention and protect everything here! That is your responsibility!
I don't know what you will encounter next. If possible, please try not to shoot. I don't want to hear gunshots coming from that underground palace. It will break my heart!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Brown, we know how important it is! Not only is this underground palace very important, but the stolen antique artworks are also very important. We won't shoot if it isn't in last resort!"
Joey stepped forward and said, his expression was very excited.
The historic moment has come and the opportunity to go straight up, can he not be excited?
The people from the Heritage Protection Committee and the Old North Church retired and everyone looked reluctant.
"OK! Let's start, the guys from the Brave and Fearless Exploration Company will lead, the FBI secret service and the art crime team will follow closely, everyone pay attention to safety!"
Joey issued an order to act and immediately gave up the position of the underpass entrance with a few of his men, rather reluctantly.
Damn it, when is the FBI's turn to lay hands on others! Just the bastard Steven!
No matter what they think, Matisse said to the men around him:
"Guys, let's go in, pay attention to cover each other, don't act rashly!"
When the voice fell, he immediately stepped forward and walked into the dark tunnel. Walker and the others followed closely and entered this ancient dark tunnel one after another.
At this moment, Kenny's voice came from the earphones again.
"Guys, pay attention to safety! The old Thompson came out of the warehouse, wearing a body armor, carrying two M16A4 automatic rifles and a backpack on him and he was walking towards the corridor!"
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian's voice came over.
"Matisse, after you get down the spiral staircase, you must pay attention to safety. The original method of passing through the tunnel may not be effective now. Don't take any risks!
That old guy Thompson should be going to block you. He may change the setting of triggering traps and he may even open fire himself and block you at the other end of the tunnel.
If unsurprisingly, there must be a lot of M67 time-delay grenades in his backpack. In the narrow environment of the tunnel, the lethality is very terrifying and the bulletproof vest is not enought!
Without the protection of a heavy shield, you rushing into the tunnel is no different than looking for death. Tell the FBI guys that you can come in again after I get rid of the trap!"
"Understood, Steven!"
Matisse responded and immediately picked up the intercom allocated by the FBI and while advancing along the underpass, he quickly informed Joey of the situation.
Everything is as Ye Tian expected.
Thompson was fully armed, carrying an M16A4 automatic rifle in each of his left and right hands. The bullets were loaded and he could fire wildly at any time.
In his backpack, in addition to a few rifle magazines, there are also a dozen M67 time-delay grenades, a few flash grenades and two C4 time bombs equipped with electronic detonators.
Of course, the electronic detonation device was destroyed by Ye Tian a long time ago, so it's definitely not useful!
However, these two time bombs are now placed together with a dozen M67 grenades, which is extremely dangerous!
Whether the M67 grenade could detonate C4 explosives, no one said if it was bad, at least Ye Tian had no idea and he didn't dare to take this risk.
In a blink of an eye, Thompson has stepped onto the platform at the entrance of the underground palace.
Immediately afterwards, he entered the corridor that sloped downward and walked up the corridor quickly. Above it was the secret room where six M16A4 automatic rifles were arranged.
His polite and perfect disguise, which has been maintained for thirty years, has long since been completely torn off, revealing his true face.
At this time, Thompson had a hideous face, gritted his teeth, his face was sulky, his eyes flashed with crazy colors, full of murderousness, and it looked like a desperate posture!
