A comprehensive overview of tombs: starting with the Yellow Weasel's Tomb

These rats attacked the villagers because of the whale oil.

But at that moment, everyone suddenly heard a noise and became tense.

Immediately afterwards, everyone noticed that an unusually strong fragrance had begun to waft from the large vat containing the whale fat.

Bai Jing knew something was wrong and immediately called out, "Bai Pi, prepare for battle!"

Seemingly having heard Bai Jing's voice, the next moment, a snow-white head suddenly emerged from the jar, staring blankly at Bai Jing.

Upon seeing this, Bai Jing first breathed a sigh of relief, then felt both annoyed and amused.

This little thing forgets everything when it comes to delicious food; it even crawled into the tank and started munching on whale roe without anyone noticing.

And the commotion just now was made by this little thing.

Upon seeing this scene, Bai Jing and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the next moment, Bai Jing felt a sudden pang of fear for no reason and immediately drew the Kangxi sword from behind his back.

The others, seeing Bai Jing's actions, were unclear about what had happened, but they knew that Bai Jing's observation skills and other abilities were superior to theirs.

They immediately raised their guns and became alert.

Just then, a mouse scurried into the house through the door, followed by a second and a third.

Chapter 106 Lighting Cables

Seeing this, Bai Jing didn't dare to delay and quickly called on everyone to get moving.

Hearing Bai Jing's reminder, the others also noticed that there were more and more rats in the house, and immediately picked up whatever they could find to swat the rats on the ground.

Bai Jing noticed that more and more rats were rushing in, and knew that they couldn't stay in the house any longer, so he quickly called everyone to rush outside.

Unexpectedly, just as everyone reached the door, they heard a loud "crack," and then the door was smashed open from the outside by a huge, dark object.

In the light of the torches, everyone was shocked to see what had come in: a giant man-eating rat, bigger than a calf, was crawling through the broken door.

That's nothing compared to what truly sent chills down everyone's spines: this giant rat actually had two heads, one large and one small, and its eyes shone like rubies.

The sight of this giant rat sent chills down everyone's spine.

What kind of rat could grow to such a size, let alone have two heads?

Fortunately, the giant rat was relatively slow-moving and only managed to break open the door because of its enormous size.

Moreover, Bai Jing and the others discovered that although this thing was huge, it probably did not have intelligence.

Bai Jing noticed that the giant rat was attacking the smaller rats that passed by him, killing them all.

Seeing this, Bai Jing breathed a sigh of relief. If such a huge rat also had considerable intelligence, it would be really difficult to deal with.

Bai Jing ignored all that and grabbed the Kangxi sword with both hands, slashing at the neck between the giant rat's two heads with the force of splitting Mount Hua.

The giant rat seemed to sense the danger, and one of its heads suddenly dodged towards the other head, attempting to avoid Bai Jing's attack.

But Bai Jing reacted so quickly that while still in mid-air, he immediately changed his move, transforming his vertical slash into a horizontal one.

With a flash of light, one of the giant rat's heads was severed from its body by the slash and fell to the ground.

In an instant, the giant rat began to squeak in agony.

Bai Jing seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly looked at the large vat where lamp oil was stored. He took out two bottles of whale oil from it, and with skillful force, threw them at the giant rat.

In fact, the two bottles shattered the moment they left Bai Jing's hand, but they flew several meters before finally breaking completely when they hit the giant rat. In that instant, the whale oil was splattered all over the giant rat's body.

In an instant, the rats on the ground, big and small, were immediately attracted by the scent of whale oil on the giant rat and scrambled toward it regardless of the danger.

Bai Jing took out a tinderbox, lit a flame, and threw it at the giant rat.

A fire immediately broke out, and in an instant, rats of all sizes were burned into fireballs, scurrying around the house.

The rats squeaked and screamed as they were burned by the fire. At the same time, the stench of burnt fur and the aroma of burning flesh made everyone present swallow hard.

Then Bai Jing also

When he had free time, he continued to take the oil lamp bottle and throw it at the rats.

Then, Bai Jing and the others seized the opportunity and ran towards a place where there were fewer rats.

They ran until they were out of breath and realized that they were surrounded by towering trees and the ground was covered with rotting leaves that sank underfoot. Looking around, they found that a thick fog had rolled in, and they could no longer tell which way was which. So they had no choice but to stop.

After resting for a while, the group discovered that there was light around them. They exchanged glances and then walked toward the source of the light.

As they got closer to the light, they could see that it was an enormous, straight beam of light.

And it doesn't seem to be very far from us.

Upon seeing the light, those present were speechless.

Even Hazelnut, a seasoned hunter who spends his days venturing into the forest, had never seen anything like it.

For a moment, everyone became curious. There wasn't even a 20-watt light bulb in these mountains, so what could be emitting such light?

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances; the luminous object emitted a tremendous light, like clouds hanging from the sky!

For a moment, no one could describe what it was, but they did notice that the ground was also covered in cracks, with cracks extending toward the distant light.

Upon closer inspection, these weren't cracks at all; they were clearly glowing 'cables'.

But this shouldn't exist in the deep mountains and forests at all. Not only should it not exist in these mountains, but people outside the mountains have never seen it, and they can't even dream of such a scene.

Surprised, the fat man instinctively reached out to touch the cable on the ground.

Bai Jing quickly stepped forward and pressed his hand down: "Be careful and don't touch it randomly. If it really is a cable, such a thick cable can electrocute you to ashes in an instant."

Upon hearing this, the fat man quickly withdrew his hand and agreed with Bai Jing's point.

But he still looked at the things on the ground that looked like cables with some curiosity.

To be honest, although Bai Jing had experienced the 21st century in his previous life, he had never seen such a scene before, and he also looked around with some vigilance.

Finally, Bai Jing looked at the 'cables' on the ground. These cables did not make Bai Jing feel uneasy, and he immediately grabbed the 'cables' on the ground.

Upon handling the cable, Bai Jing felt a slight warmth, but it was quite rough to the touch. However, he was certain that there was no electricity in it, and the thing only emitted a uniform white light, which was not very bright.

Bai Jing was also a little confused about what this was.

Although he had read the novel "The Tomb Raider" in his previous life, he had forgotten many of the details.

For a moment, he couldn't remember what it was.

So everyone simply followed the direction of the cable.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Bai Jing suddenly realized that the ground beneath his feet was no longer rock. A thick layer of moss had grown on the ground, which looked no different from the rock strata in the cracks in the ground, but the texture was completely different from before.

Bai Qi also noticed this, and immediately squatted down and scraped away the moss on the ground. Then everyone was surprised to find that there was a huge iron shell underneath.

The metal shell was rusty and mostly submerged in water. Even tanks weren't this big, so for a moment, no one could tell what it was. Most importantly, there was a hatch on the side that opened and closed with a wheel.

Chapter 107 The Notes of a Manchukuo Reporter

Bai Jing examined the metal shell, seemingly uncertain, and said, "This looks like...the entrance to a ship?"

Upon hearing Bai Jing's words, the fat man immediately asked in confusion, "But where would a warship come from in these deep mountains and forests?"

This was precisely the question on the minds of those present.

This place is located on the edge of the Greater Khingan Mountains, hundreds of kilometers away from the nearest sea. Even rivers large enough for ships to pass through are at least tens of kilometers away.

What kind of warships could sail to a place like this?

After discussing it for a while, everyone decided to go inside the ship to take a look. They did just that. Although the wheel at the entrance was rusty, the hatch wasn't completely closed, and they opened it in no time.

Looking through the hatch, it was pitch black inside and nothing could be seen, with a damp, rotten smell emanating from it.

Just in case, Bai Jing stayed outside this time, while only Fatty and Bai Qi went in.

After a moment, Bai Jing suddenly sensed something was wrong. He looked up at the sky and immediately shouted, "Hurry up! It's going to rain heavily soon, and this place might be flooded."

Upon hearing Bai Jing's words, Bai Qi and Fatty, who had entered the cabin, quickly moved the items outside.

Everyone quickly helped, and in no time, Bai Qi and Fatty came up.

Everyone, carrying their belongings, ran towards higher ground.

Finally, they stopped at the foot of a rock wall. The group sat there and watched the rain flow down, eventually flooding the place where they had been.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, still shaken by the experience.

Then everyone took out the items they had brought from the cabin and began to examine them.

These things all seem to be from an organization called 'Man'ei'.

This organization, as Jian Guo knew, was a film-making organization established by the Japanese army during the puppet state of Manchukuo, and it was said to have the task of filming documentaries for the army.

Bai Jing looked at these things. First, there was a box. When he opened it, it was full of film and other things. But because so many years had passed and the environment here had changed so much, it was hard to say how much of it was still usable.

Then they found a notebook.

Although the diary was written in Japanese, Bai Jing had studied Japanese for a period of time after the incident at Baiyan Cave, so he was able to understand most of the contents of the diary.

It turns out that the Japanese soldier who wrote the diary was a photographer for Manchuria Film Studio. At the time, he and several other staff members of Manchuria Film Studio were ordered to film a documentary about the army and write dispatches at the same time.

His mission was to promote the victory of militarism and cover up the island nation's defeats in the Pacific theater. His main tasks were taking photos and writing communications.
