Reborn in 1965, I can obtain resources just by sweeping the floor.

“We were also tricked by Lin Lao Er. He said you had a lot of money and told us to tie you up here and force you to write an IOU. Then we could use the IOU to collect the debt from you. We didn’t want to come here. Lin Lao Er forced us to.”

Seeing Su Chen staring intently at him, Sun Dalei struggled a few times, then scrambled over to Su Chen, pointed at Lin Lao Er lying on the ground with his eyes wide open, and loudly explained.

"Stop talking nonsense. What's this treasure map you're talking about? If you dare to lie to me, this is what will happen to you."

“What we’re saying is true. My father was a captain in the puppet army in Songshan County. Before the Japanese were defeated, they had a lot of treasures that they couldn’t take with them, so they had them transported to the mountains. It’s said that many of the able-bodied men who transported the treasures never came back. This map was stolen from a Japanese squad leader.”

Sun Dalei and Sun Erlei, like beans spilling from a bamboo tube, recounted everything they knew.

"Since you have treasure, why don't you two go and get it out and donate it to the country? You might even get a reward."

Seeing that the two people didn't seem to be lying, Su Chen frowned and asked a question.

“I…we’ve thought about it too, but it’s deep in the Lesser Khingan Mountains, very close to the border of the White Bear Empire. That map was only given to us by my father before he died last year. We want to wait…”

"If what you're saying is true, I can let you go. Here's the map."

After thinking for a moment, Su Chen stretched out his hand and looked coldly at the two of them.

"Um, the map is hidden at our house. I'll go back and bring it with me. How about we go together?"

Sun Dalei was overjoyed. As long as he could lure Su Chen to Dawang Village, he could have the militiamen capture him.

Sun Dalei, his eyes darting around, dared not look up, afraid that Su Chen would notice something.

"No need, let's just wait here and let him go back to get the map. Remember, don't try anything funny, or he'll be dead if he doesn't get the map."

He grabbed Sun Dalei by the collar, pulled him up from the ground, and then stared coldly at Sun Erlei.

"Don't worry, I absolutely keep my word. Brother, you wait here for me, I'll be right back."

Upon hearing Su Chen tell him to go back and get the map, Sun Erlei was taken aback for a moment, then let out a long breath, hurriedly stood up, and limped quickly out of the woods after speaking.

Once Sun Erlei's figure had completely disappeared from sight, Su Chen smiled slightly and grabbed Sun Dalei by the neck.

"You...you won't say anything..."

“I always keep my word. You haven’t given me the map yet, have you? What if your brother leaves and doesn’t come back? I’d be waiting for nothing. So it’s better to go with him and keep an eye on things.”

He sneered and said it, then tightened his grip, and with a snap, Sun Dalei's throat was crushed.

Sun Dalei tried to pry Su Chen's large hands off his neck, but the feeling of suffocation grew stronger and stronger until finally Sun Dalei's arms fell limply to his sides.

Su Chen casually put the corpses of Sun Dalei and Lin Lao Er, along with the items on the ground, into his spatial storage. His figure flashed and disappeared from the spot, instantly catching up with Sun Er Lei.

Sun Erlei, who was running forward quickly, suddenly felt something behind him and hurriedly stopped and turned around.

There was nothing behind him but the dark road. A cold wind blew by, and Sun Erlei couldn't help but shiver, feeling the hairs on his body stand on end.

"There can't really be a ghost, can there? Lin Lao Er, you wait, I will definitely avenge you..."

Suspicious Sun Erlei clasped his hands together, bowed a few times towards the distance, then turned around and sped up.

"Phew... Phew... You're finally back. Su, I'll go find the militia and have them arrest you."

Finally running back to the village, Sun Erlei panted heavily, muttering to himself.

Su Chen, who was hiding not far away, gripped the butcher knife tightly in his hand.

"No! No, what if that guy reveals about the map and they search the house? That would be troublesome. We should go home first, hide the map somewhere else, and then..."

After taking only two steps, Sun Erlei stopped again, muttered something with a troubled expression, and then turned and ran off in another direction.

Inside the space, the hand that had been tightly gripping the butcher knife slowly loosened.

Soon Sun Erlei returned home. After looking around to make sure no one was there, he slammed the door shut, squatted down next to the stove, pried a brick off, and then reached inside to grope around.

A paper package tightly wrapped in oil paper was pulled out. After blowing away the dust, Sun Erlei glanced around furtively, trying to find a more secluded spot.

"Hey, hurry up and give me the map. What are you looking around for?"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind him, startling Sun Erlei so much that he screamed and dropped the map in his hand.

Walking up to Sun Erlei, he picked up the map that had fallen to the ground, tore off the oil paper, unfolded it, and saw that it was indeed a map, clearly depicting a route and specific coordinates.

"You...how did you get in? Where's my older brother? Didn't you say..."

Turning around and seeing Su Chen standing in front of him, Sun Erlei stammered.

Before Sun Erlei could finish speaking, Su Chen reached out and pierced his head with a silver needle. Sun Erlei felt everything go black and immediately lost consciousness.

Before Sun Erlei's body could fall to the ground, Su Chen waved his hand and Sun Erlei disappeared from the spot. After looking around and finding that no trace had been left, Su Chen flashed into the space.

"I'm going to the mountains in the next couple of days, so don't worry about me. We have enough firewood for the winter."

The next day at breakfast, Su Chen said something to Bai Peiyao and the others.

"Then be careful, I'll go and tidy up for you."

This wasn't Su Chen's first time in the mountains, so the others didn't pay too much attention. After giving him a few simple instructions, Bai Peiyao immediately put down her chopsticks and packed some food into his backpack.

After leaving Kaoshantun, Su Chen determined his direction and quickened his pace, plunging into the mountains.

Even as the sun set, Su Chen hadn't covered half the distance. He sat down on a withered tree branch, ate something, and stood up, intending to continue his journey, when he saw a faint light coming from a distant mountain valley.

"There's someone here. Could they be hunting?"

Looking at the light in the distance, Su Chen hesitated for a moment before walking directly towards it.

According to the route on the map, you should go straight along the valley and then cross two more hills to reach the treasure location.

"Kiu-san, we're sure we'll find those treasures this time, and the president will reward us handsomely."

"You're absolutely right, Lord Kou. With this map, that treasure is definitely ours."

When Su Chen arrived in the mountain valley, he saw seven or eight people sitting around a fire, chatting and laughing.

"Japanese devils! How did they get into our territory?"

Hearing the conversation from the other side, Su Chen was taken aback. He then silently moved forward several dozen meters and hid in the space, carefully observing the Japanese soldiers around the campfire.
