Chapter 406 50 Little Girls (3)
Wangyou stopped again, put the flashlight aside, and picked up a long gun from the box.
The gun looked similar to the ones carried by the village militia; they were both long. As for whether there were any differences, Wangyou wasn't sure, since she had only seen them from afar.
After fiddling with the spear for a while, Wangyou quickly disassembled it into a set of parts.
"I'm such a genius," Wangyou muttered, then began to study the structure of the parts. However, after looking at them for a long time, she still couldn't figure it out. The main reason was that she had never read any books on mechanics, and she had no idea how to manufacture them.
Wangyou was somewhat discouraged, but she quickly cheered up and roughly counted the guns and ammunition here. The count surprised her greatly, because these guns could equip at least five thousand soldiers. The Japanese soldiers stationed here didn't have that many, so where did all this ammunition come from?
Unless, in addition to the Japanese army's laboratory, there is a secret arms factory here, and these munitions have not yet been transported out.
Wangyou, who was about to leave, stopped and carefully examined the place again. She discovered a hidden stone door, which should be a mechanism that originally existed in this tomb.
If Wangyou's guess was correct, the location behind this door was probably the arsenal. This made Wangyou somewhat angry. The stone door was well preserved, yet the Japanese were able to build an arsenal inside. There must have been professional tomb raiders involved. Those traitors!
Wangyou searched for a while longer and finally found a protrusion. Just as she was about to press it down, her sleeve was bitten by the white snake that had led her in.
Seeing that Wangyou had stopped what she was doing, the white snake also released its mouth.
"Are you trying to tell me that it's dangerous in here?" Wangyou asked, looking at the white snake.
The white snake slowly nodded its head. As expected of Liu Xian, one of the Five Immortals of the Northeast, it truly possesses spirituality.
"The things inside are very dangerous; is that why the people here died so suddenly?"
The white snake nodded again.
"Do you know what's inside?"
This time, the white snake shook her head.
Wangyou sat down on the ground. If the little white snake was this wary, what was inside must be extremely dangerous. If she reported it, the people above would also definitely encounter unknown dangers.
Facing difficulties head-on is not the style of forgetting worries; on the contrary, the more dangerous something is, the more curious one becomes.
After sitting on the ground and thinking for a moment, Wangyou decided to dissect the corpse to see what caused it, whether it was poison or some unknown creature.
Wangyou dragged the well-preserved corpse out of the office and placed it on a bed. Then, she took out a scalpel and dissected it from head to toe.
Upon closer inspection, Wangyou noticed something: there were ligature marks on the corpse's neck, and a gray substance in the trachea that made Wangyou feel as if the body was still alive.
Just in case, Wangyou took out the corpse-dissolving water she had made and dripped a drop onto the black thing. In the dim light, Wangyou seemed to hear a sharp scream. Looking at the thing again, it had changed and turned red. Under the corrosive effect of the corpse-dissolving water, it was screaming and trying to escape.
Wangyou dissected several more corpses and, unsurprisingly, obtained these substances from them. It seemed that this gray substance was the culprit that caused these people to die instantly.
As for the ligature marks on their necks, not every corpse had them. Wangyou suspected that a living plant, or rather a vine-like plant, was growing there.
What Wangyou found strange was that this gray substance did not attack her. Wangyou thought it was because she was covered in poison. Over the years, in order to prevent others from plotting against her, Wangyou had almost turned herself into a little poison person.
Now that she had figured out the reason, Wangyou decided to activate the mechanism. To prevent the little white snake from stopping her, Wangyou told it beforehand.
Then, Wangyou managed to see worry in those vertical pupils.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll be fine."
After calming the little white snake down and sending it away, Wangyou held the corpse-dissolving water in one hand and activated the stone gate mechanism with the other.
Unexpectedly, after opening the stone door, Wangyou waited for a long time but didn't encounter any attacks. Shining her flashlight inside, she found that it was very clean, really clean, the kind of clean that doesn't even have dust.
With a "whoosh," Wangyou felt a gust of wind and reflexively dodged it, then casually spilled a drop of the corpse-dissolving water in her hand.
Then, Wangyou saw something that was neither human nor ghost, and it was wearing Japanese soldiers' clothes.
The corpse-dissolving liquid dripped onto his body, making a sizzling sound. In an instant, half of the ghostly thing's leg was gone, and a short while later, the entire corpse disappeared.
All that remained was a pool of foul-smelling liquid.
Wangyou looked around to make sure there was only one of these strange things, and then began to carefully examine the things around her.
To be honest, this place is a complete arsenal, with all kinds of machine tools and equipment. In other words, as long as a generator is installed, it can be put into operation at any time.
As for why this place is so clean, apart from the ghostly thing we just encountered, there isn't even a corpse. Wangyou guessed that the Japanese soldiers must have been in a bad situation at the time, and they didn't have time or opportunity to take these large pieces of equipment with them.
Or perhaps they were planning to temporarily halt ammunition production and instead accelerate research into poison gas bombs, but their plans were disrupted by an unknown creature, and the existence of this laboratory became a mystery.
Wangyou looked at the ground. There were quite a few marks on the ground, but most of them were the marks of reptiles, like the marks left by snakes or the marks left by algae.
Wangyou walked further in and finally found an unclean place, which was a large hole. There were still a lot of soil and rocks around the hole, indicating that it had been blown open.
The bold Wangyou walked into the large hole again and saw a huge tomb chamber. In the center was a coffin. It was impossible to tell what material the coffin was made of because it was wrapped in clumps of black, hair-like things.
Besides that, there was a huge tree standing behind the coffin.
After that, there was nothing else. The only thing of value was something embedded in the wall that looked like a gemstone, but Wangyou sensed a life force in that gemstone.
In other words, these so-called gems are alive, and should be some kind of living thing. Therefore, Wangyou did not impulsively try to pick at the gems.
However, the black hair wrapped around the coffin was similar to the black substance that Wangyou had seen during the autopsy. How could these things wrapped around the coffin have gone through such a long and complicated process to kill someone?
