With such a scale, the owner of the tomb must have been of high status.
However, at this moment, all the coffins were opened and empty inside.
There is a steel suspension road on the rock wall that spirals to the bottom and is covered with electric lights. So all this was done by the Japanese. They not only tortured the Chinese people, but also dared to rob their ancestors, even the bones.
It is tolerable, but what is intolerable?
The tunnel entrance is located near the hanging coffin on the ninth floor. There is also a tunnel entrance at the top of the hanging road.
Tan Wu jumped up lightly, landed silently, and headed towards the tunnel above, followed by Li Er and Yan Zi.
On the other side, the old fox and others walked in the tunnel for almost ten minutes, but there was still no sign of the end. But the smell in the tunnel is getting worse and worse, just like an open-air toilet.
This section of the road continued for several hundred meters, and the tunnel gradually opened up, and then the three of them came to a slightly wider mine.
There were gravels everywhere. The old fox picked up a piece and looked at it. It was heavy, had bright spots, and made a metallic sound when struck. It looked like iron ore.
The old fox was very puzzled and thought, "If the Japanese capture young men for mining, why is there no one in the cave?"
The mine was very quiet, but the lights were on. And this lamp is very strange. One lamp lights up every other, and the lampshade is covered with a piece of blue paint. The light yellow light passes through it and turns into a color that is not blue or green, making the atmosphere in the mine very strange.
There is another mine behind this mine, with the same atmosphere, but with a faint smell of corpses.
The three of them walked through two more mines and came to a large pit.
"My day!"
The pit is full of corpses!
There were no fewer than a hundred corpses, many of them naked and mutilated. Many of them were very thin and looked like children of fifteen or sixteen years old.
Faced with this shocking scene, the three of them were speechless for a long time.
The old fox silently took out his cigarette and struck a match. Suddenly a gust of wind blew and the fire went out...
He drew another one, and seemed to hear a "plop" sound, and the flame seemed to be extinguished by something...
Seeing the little pot, he made rings with his hands to cover him. This time he struck three matches at once, but before the smoke could hit them, the flames seemed to have been extinguished.
The old fox looked up to the sky and sighed, two lines of hot tears flowed out of the little pot, and he threw his hat to the ground in grief and anger. Then he knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "Brothers, I am Ma Kaishan from the armed workers' team. I swear here to kill all the little devils to avenge you. Please go on your way with peace of mind!"
Suddenly there was a cry from the mine, it sounded like someone was crying.
The old fox tried to strike two matches, but the flames did not go out this time. He lit up all the cigarettes, stuck them on the ground together with the yellow monkey and the small pot, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.
The old fox also took out the small gourd hanging on his back, scattered all the sorghum wine he would never share with others on the ground, and sang, "Walk well, walk well, put down your grievances and don't look back, complain your grievances to the King of Hell, I will still be a good son in the next life..."
After singing, he sighed, "Let's see if there are any left alive."
The three of them entered the corpse pit to explore. When they got closer, they discovered that the blood stains or dirt on the corpse were actually things growing on the body. Some are dark green, like toad skin. Some are purple, like snake skin. Some are cyan, like fish skin.
Everyone's death appearance was very painful, and their eyes were all open. The inside of the eyeballs had become turbid and gray-white, and some were filled with blood. Many of the corpses had their mouths open, their teeth were so rotten that they became sharp, and there was even a patch of downy moss growing on their teeth and face.
The mutilated wounds were uneven and looked neither like cuts from sharp objects nor bites from wild beasts.
Torn alive? !
The old fox never dared to think about this. Such an experience could only be described as too miserable.
This is the last mine, and no survivors have been found. A rough calculation showed that there were more than 80 corpses in the pit.
The three of them no longer had any hope and left to join the captain and others.
Tan Wu, Li Er, and Yan Zi are still spinning around in the tunnel.
This is a manually dug tunnel, and the traces are old. It should have been dug by the people who built the tomb.
However, there are many forks in the tunnel. The three of them first encountered two forks, entered one and then came to a crossroads, and then encountered three forks, and there were even tunnels with one or two openings in the forks.
The Japanese must have spent a lot of manpower and material resources to explore this place. Each section of the tunnel is illuminated by a light bulb.
However, the Japanese left no marks and had no way of knowing their path. The three of them had to mark everywhere, but after touching for a long time, they found that they kept circling in the same area.
Yanzi thought of a way. The three of them distanced themselves and explored the road like a roller. Only then did they find a tunnel that they had never walked through before.
This tunnel has no forks, only two turns, connecting a cave.
There is a square altar in the middle of the cave, and in the middle of the altar there is a square tripod made of iron. There are only patterns and no patterns on it, and the inside of the tripod is filled with sand.
There are five Buddha statues carved on the inner wall of the cave. Now the second Buddha statue on the left has been destroyed into several pieces and piled aside. The dug place is the exit of the tunnel.
There was a faint green light coming from the corner of the cave, and there was the sound of wind. The three of them went over and were surprised to see that the entrance to the cave was on the cliff. And it is very hidden, the mountain wall blocks the entrance of the cave like a shield. Viewed from the side, the entrance is nothing more than a crack in the mountain wall. If you look at it from the front, you can't see the hole at all.
Tan Wu said, "You can retreat from here after blowing up the hole."
Li Er was told to bury explosives in the tunnel, and the three continued to explore the tunnel.
At this time, the old fox team caught up and reported the situation to Tan Wu.
After hearing this, Tan Wu was so angry that he gritted his teeth, "Listen, everyone, even if we die together with the Japanese today, we must avenge the people and never let a single Japanese go."
Everyone showed an attitude of looking forward to death.
Little Guozi said, "Captain, hurry up and give me the mission."
Tan Wudao said, "Okay, I think this hole can definitely lead to the iron gate we looked at earlier. Xiaoguozi, go call Lei Mazi immediately. There is no need to blow up the iron gate. Concentrate the explosives at the entrance of the tunnel we just entered. We have another way. Evacuate. Pull the lead to the iron door inside, rush in when you hear the gunshots inside, and go ahead."
"Yes." Little Guozi ducked away.
Tan Wudao: "There are five of us now. Let's all spread out to find the way. The sooner the better. I guess the effect of the medicine is starting to take effect. We can't miss this opportunity...Old fox, do you have any questions?"
The old fox was thoughtful and did not listen to Tan Wu's questions. Yanzi poked him twice before he responded.
Tan Wu asked, "It's now, what are you thinking about?"
The old fox said, "I just feel like something is wrong."
Huang Hou said, "Then you should learn from it (xiao)."
The old fox said, "I think those children's corpses are very strange."
Yanzi asked, "Are they wearing strange skin?"
The old fox shook his head.
Huang Hou asked, "Is this how people die?"
The old fox shook his head and nodded again, "The way of death is indeed strange. The corpses we saw were somewhat mutilated, but they were not fatal injuries. I looked a lot and found no fatal wounds."
Yanzi asked, "Is it hard to tell if he has been dead for too long?"
"It's been too long to die!?" The old fox suddenly said, "That's right! It's just been too long to be dead!"
Yanzi said, "What's so strange about this?"
The old fox said, "They are not in bad health! It has been three months since the first batch of people were arrested, so let's count them dead for half a month, but now there are not even any insects."
Huang Hou also suddenly said, "Yes, yes, I also remembered this. It is June and the cave is very wet, but there is not even a fly in the dead pit."
The old fox continued, "Everyone still remembers the lump of snake and insect flesh dug out from the mountainside. The lines on it are very similar to the skin on the corpse."
Yan Zi was shocked and said, "You mean those buried on the mountainside are all human flesh!?"
The old fox nodded hesitantly.
Huang Hou said, "Didn't we see a lot of empty coffins? Do you think the devils asked the villagers to open the coffins, and they became like that after being haunted by the evil spirits inside?"
Tan Wu said in a deep voice, "No matter what the reason is, it has something to do with the Japs. Just catch the Japs and ask them. Let's go."
Everyone nodded, picked up their weapons and entered the tunnel one after another.
After all, it is easier to do things when there are more people. Li Er took the lead in discovering a tunnel with relatively new carvings.
After everyone gathered, they walked through an arc-shaped tunnel and arrived in front of a huge cave.
The strange rocks in the cave are rugged, but there are only a dozen or so protruding rocks scattered around.
The shape of the space is like a dumpling. The tunnel entrance is at the tip of the dumpling and is blocked by a thick lava pillar.
There were two men in black hiding behind the lava on both sides of the tunnel entrance, but they were asleep at the moment.
Li Er and Huang Hou solved them silently and quietly occupied the favorable terrain.
There is a large tent not far from the entrance of the tunnel, with many boxes, iron barrels and sacks placed next to it. It looks like it is a camp where the Japanese live.
The middle of the cave is brighter and has many electric lights. Like the lamps in the mine, the illuminated lampshade has a streak of blue paint on it.
There were six iron beds with people tied to them. Everyone wears tattered cloth clothes, and they look like ordinary people at first glance.
Several people were asking the same question in their minds: "What are the little devils doing to the people?"
Before I had time to think about it, I discovered that there were two large iron cages on the other side of the cave, containing more people!
There was an iron door on the cave wall next to the iron cage. Tan Wu guessed correctly that the previously bolted iron door led here.
At this moment, the people were all sleeping, and the people on the iron beds were motionless, not knowing whether they were dead or alive.
There were no Japanese in the cave, so they must have been sleeping in the tent at this time.
Tan Wu gestured to the old fox to go to the iron gate and asked the rest of the people to surround the tent.
Several people quietly came around the tent and looked inside through the gaps. There were six bunk beds inside, all of which were occupied by people.
Six groups of tents equaled 72 people. Tan Wu decided to concentrate his manpower and assassinate them one by one.
The four of them held their breath and sneaked into the tent with daggers in hand. Two people worked in pairs to raise and lower the knives, killing twelve people in less than half a minute.
Then the next tent was still clean and tidy. After a while, there was the last tent left, but I didn't want any of the Japanese who were still alive to knock over the water glass, making a loud noise and waking up the Japanese.
Several Japanese soldiers ran out of the tent with guns in their hands, and several people could only shoot. Suddenly there was loud gunfire, and the old fox opened the iron door and let in his companions to support the captain.
Surrounded from both sides, the battle ended quickly. But there were only ten corpses of Japanese soldiers on the ground. When Li Er entered the tent, he saw two Japanese soldiers hiding in the corner and shivering.
They saw Li Er holding up his hands in fright, and said in a panic, "Ya Mo, Ya Mo, cry and record the game..."
Li Er was confused and pointed a gun at them, "Hands up, come out!"
They seemed to understand and walked out of the tent tremblingly.
At this time, the people in the iron cage saw that they had stabilized the situation and called for help.
Xiao Guozi and Lei Mazi ran over to save people.
Tan Wu asked the Japanese, "Can you speak Chinese?"
One of the Japs said loudly, "A little, I know how to speak, a little."
Tan Wu asked, "What are you doing here?"
The Japanese were very confused and didn't say anything for a long time.
Huang Hou went up and put the muzzle of the gun to his forehead and shouted, "If you don't tell me, I will kill you!"
The little devil immediately cried and howled, "Toothless, toothless, crying game...".
Huang Hou became angry, grabbed his lapels and punched him, making him stop talking immediately.
"Say it!"
Suddenly two gunshots rang out, one bullet penetrated into the temple of the Japs, and another bullet hit the back of another Japs' head. The two Japs showed an incredible expression, and their bodies shook and fell to the ground.
At the same time, Lei Mazi shouted, "Get out of the way!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several consecutive explosions sounded, and everyone felt the ground shaking. The shock wave shattered several lights, and the lights in half the cave flickered.
I could see the smoke filling the cage, making it difficult to see the situation clearly. The four people hurriedly found cover while looking for the gunman.
But the lights were flashing, making it difficult to find the target.
Li Er shouted "I'm going!" and then jumped out and flew left and right, causing the gunmen in the dark to shoot.
Tan Wu discovered that there were three people on the other side, hiding behind the lava on the roof of the cave. The four immediately fought back and forced them out.
They were dressed in black and had their heads covered with black cloth, leaving only their eyes exposed. He was carrying a long knife on his back, a gun case hanging on his waist, and he was using a rifle.
The three Japs were very agile. The marksmanship of Tan Wu and others was not only perfect, but nine times out of ten, they failed to hit the Japs.
However, the shooting skills of the three Japs were not that strong, and they never hit them.
After this battle, both sides ran out of bullets. The three Japs regained their momentum, stood in a row, drew out their long knives, and pointed them at Tan Wu and others, looking very provocative.
At this moment, the smoke on the other side of the iron cage dispersed, and Tan Wu saw many people falling to the ground, and some were screaming, so he called Old Fox, Yanzi, and Iron Abacus over. He, Li Er, and Huang Hou dealt with these three Japanese.
They brandished their swords and rushed towards the Japanese. After a few exchanges, they were frightened.
These three Japs were more powerful than the Japs outside. They used their swords quickly, powerfully and more flexibly. If they were not careful, they would be injured by the blades.
It seems that they are the masters here. Fortunately, they were drugged before, otherwise they may not be the only three of them left.
But so what, when they meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. Tan Wu, Li Er, and Huang Hou looked at death as if they were dead, and used all their swords and their aura to be higher than the slightest bit.
Or maybe it was because the medicine had not worn off yet, affecting the Japs' skills, so the three of them had the upper hand for a while.
