"You know what, Hanna? It's very likely that we'll find something good here." Merle pointed his flashlight forward as he said this, and the whole room was illuminated.
It wasn't a very large room, measuring less than two meters wide and glass display cases on either side taking up almost all the space. In total, the length of the wall was six meters. This place was built like a hallway. A room like this is something that others entering this house would not notice.
After making sure there was nothing that could endanger them, Merle put down his gun and began to inspect everything with the help of his flashlight.
Although there are display cases everywhere, all are made of glass, and you can see inside at a glance, and there is a table at the back that is different from the rest.
The flashlight swept over these glass display cases, and Merle was surprised to discover that all the weapons were stored inside, all kinds of weapons, and all the weapons that caught his attention were gunpowder weapons.
"I can't believe it, the owner of this house must have had a great love for guns."
Not only pistols, but also rifles, shotguns, sniper rifles, and, most exaggeratedly, machine guns. The glass display cases are full of weapons, and there are many more hanging on the interior walls.
After looking at everything in the room, Merle simply found a box, began to pack all the weapons into it, and then sent the boxes outside.
It took the two of them more than half an hour to remove all these weapons. Looking at the empty cabinets in the room, Merle smiled. Although no ammunition was found, these weapons are still in good condition, but they need maintenance because they were unused.
Looking at the military uniform on the door, Merle reached out and pulled it.
Ksss!
The clothes stuck to the wall couldn't withstand the grip strength, so it was directly torn off the wall, and Hanna beside him called Merle barbaric.
The clothes were already torn to pieces, but Merle's gaze remained fixed on where the clothes had been hanging, and Hanna followed his gaze.
"Eh? What is that?"
"A hidden place?"
A smile reappeared on Merle's face, he reached out and pulled out the small box that wasn't too big from the hole in the wall.
"Is this a safe?"
"Will it contain a will?"
The box in his hand was very light, and there was a rattling sound when he shook it. It should be something not too big, and the sound sounded like a metal product.
"What's this? Give me the ax."
After receiving the ax from Hanna, Merle inserted the blade of his machete into the gap in the box and began to exert force.
Crack!
First of all, it wasn't a particularly strong box, and after a few seconds it was damaged with the force Merle was exerting. And with a click, the lock fell to the floor.
When the box was opened, three metal objects fell out, bounced several times on the display case, and fell to the ground.
Click! Crack! Toc!
A crisp sound echoed in the room and Merle leaned over to pick up the three items, with a slightly strange expression on his face.
It turned out that what he was holding were three keys, and they were very large keys with extremely complicated teeth. One could tell at a glance that the keys corresponded to locks that were very difficult to see in common places.
A large figure and a small one looked at each other, both understanding what the other wanted to say. Without mentioning it, they both started searching, as weapons from outside couldn't be lost, so they must find something to use on this lock.
This mansion has three floors, but according to Merle's deduction, even if there's something to use these keys on, that place should be on the first floor. Since they arrived, they hadn't seen a basement in this place. Merle was too puzzled as every house had a basement, so that was the first search objective.
Then, the two of them searched the rooms on the first floor again, but found nothing. Merle was going crazy. This time, he paid special attention to the floors of each room, but still found nothing.
Strange, there's probably nothing. Not to mention that there's nothing wrong with not having a basement, they were just focusing on one type of basement, but there could be different types.
Merle rubbed his chin and looked at the floor in the room in front of him.
"Isn't the entrance on the floor? Or is the entrance not in the house?"
The more Merle thought about it, the stranger he felt. Thinking that the entrance could be outside, he slowly walked towards the window. The yard was very elegant and retro, but there was no visible entrance to the basement.
He frowned, looked around the room, and finally unconsciously looked down at his feet.
"Huh? What's this?"
The place where the two stayed was a bedroom. In the center of the room, there was a large bed, and there was a fluffy carpet under the bed. Although it was already covered in dust, you could still see that the carpet was quite valuable.
Merle fumbled around on the floor for a while, lifting the carpet and pushing the bed. Hanna was confused and didn't know what Merle was doing.
Seeing the old man lying on the floor not knowing how to help him, Hanna simply walked to the window and looked outside cautiously.
The path is right outside the villa's door. Although the location is relatively remote and there are few walkers, there will still be some wandering occasionally. The absence of danger last night doesn't mean there's no danger today. What if there are a large number of walkers climbing the mountain?
After touching for about ten minutes, Merle, who had been silent all this time, suddenly burst into laughter, which surprised Hanna, who was next to the window. When she turned her head to look, she discovered that Merle had gone somewhere.
With a click, the whole bed lifted slightly. Merle pushed with force and the entire bed rotated 90 degrees around its base against the wall, and the side of the bed moved directly towards the window.
Hanna, who was standing at the door, startled and moved to the side, and with a loud thump, the bed hit the wall.
"Hey, I found it."
Hanna looked up and caught a glimpse of the metal door under the bed.
"It's really a basement."
"Is this Agent 007's fucking house?"
"Did you watch the movie?"
"Huh?" Merle ignored the girl. At this moment, he was focused on the strange entrance that measured a meter long and wide and was exposed under the bed. The hidden bundle of iron had a protruding circular lid. After removing it, the exposed keyhole could be seen.
Merle's eyes lit up when he saw the keyhole, and his expression was even more pleased. There is only one keyhole under the round cover. You should know that there are three keys at the moment, which means there are at least three hidden basements in the mansion, and now one of the three has been found. But where are the others?
Taking out the keys he had obtained a moment ago, Merle began testing them, and soon there was a sound indicating that the door was open.
With a strong pull, the basement door opened, revealing a concrete staircase below. A cold breath came out of the dark entrance, and Hanna, who was standing beside Merle, trembled.
"Hey, girl, you go down first."
Hanna didn't know that he didn't want to go down alone, for fear that she might have a treacherous heart and lock him up there, although the possibility of getting along for a few days is very low. Who would like to be locked up in a place by someone you have only known for a short time?
As she descended the stairs, the flashlight's beam shone, causing the surrounding walls to pale.
Merle sniffed and a strange odor entered his nose, causing him to sneeze uncontrollably.
Hanna, who was now behind Merle, shouted in surprise, and Merle, who was ahead, just smiled and curiously observed the room below.
