Looking at the fiercely burning corpse, Old Sheepskin seemed to think of himself, and murmured, "Is this the fate of mankind?"
Bai Jing looked at the fiercely burning corpse in front of him, but remained calm and did not say anything.
To be honest, this was the first time Bai Jing had ever seen a burning corpse.
However, Bai Jing had heard before that when a body is burned, the flames will leap upwards. The higher they leap, the more thoroughly the body is burned, and the finer the ashes become. The finer the ashes, the calmer the person burning the fire feels, as if they are seeing themselves in the flames.
To be honest, Bai Jing was also somewhat silent at this moment, because he was unusually calm as he looked at the burning corpse in front of him.
He didn't know why he came into this world.
I don't know if this world will be my final destination.
But he knew he didn't want to live a mediocre life.
They know neither where they came from nor where they are going.
But everyone has to do something in their life.
Soon after the body was burned, Bai Jing and the others returned to the room through the cave.
The fireplace in the room had already been prepared by Yanzi and Ding Sitian.
The room was warm and cozy at that moment.
Bai Jing took a small pot out of his backpack, placed it on the fireplace, added water to the pot, and the flames burned at the bottom of the pot, causing the water temperature to rise slowly.
In addition, the others took out the dry food they had brought and heated it up on the fireplace.
This place is on grassland, so the main staple foods are biscuits and dried meat.
After being heated by the fireplace, the room began to smell delicious, making everyone swallow hard.
To be honest, they've been out all day and this is the first time they've had something hot to eat.
For a moment, everyone was chatting and laughing as they ate.
Everyone ate very quickly.
After finishing their meal, everyone gathered around the fireplace and listened to Ding Sitian explain the contents of her notes.
"I'll start by talking about what I can understand."
The person who wrote these notes was a descendant of the Tsar named Karev, who lived in exile in Germany. He not only made unique contributions to the field of medicine, but was also a bacteriologist.
As a result, he was kept under house arrest by the Germans for many years. Later, he was seconded to the Bozi Research Institute under the Japanese Unit 731 and forced to conduct a secret military research near Baiyan Cave.
The notes say that decades ago, a Japanese company mysteriously disappeared in the northern desert region. So they sent people to search for them. After some time, the reconnaissance team discovered some supernatural phenomena near Baiyan Cave.
This incident attracted the attention of the Japanese high command, who then focused their attention on Baiyan Cave.
They dug a huge cave underground, and inside the cave were many well-preserved ancient corpses.
At the highest point, there was a strange female corpse wearing a mask. After careful observation and comparison with ancient books by the Japanese experts accompanying the group, they came to a startling conclusion: this was the legendary Great Xianbei Witch of the Han Dynasty.
In ancient times, he was a mythical figure, and the place where he was buried was said to be filled with the aura of dragons.
Bai Jing and Hu Bayi exchanged a glance.
This perfectly matches the description of the Turtle Sleeping Ground, where dragon energy soars to the sky.
Hu Bayi immediately asked, "Is there anything else?"
Upon hearing this, Ding Sitian turned a page and continued, "Afterwards, the Japanese army established a secret underground research institute here, and also bred pythons and some rare plants and animals."
Then, they would use the dragon energy from the burial ground to conduct biochemical experiments, but the smoke released by the Magnificent Scaled Python was highly poisonous; if an antidote wasn't found within a day, it would...
At this point, it was obvious that Ding Sitian suddenly blushed deeply.
Bai Jing naturally knew what was going on, and without waiting for anyone else to ask, he immediately said, "Skip this part, it's not important."
Upon hearing Bai Jing's words, everyone else turned their attention to him.
Bai Jing didn't offer any explanation.
This thing cannot be explained, and it cannot even be written about in the entire book.
Then naturally we have to skip it.
Ding Sitian seemed relieved upon hearing Bai Jing's words.
Then he continued reading: "But not long after the research institute was built, as the excavation went deeper, the area around the Hundred Eyes Cave suddenly became haunted. At night, will-o'-the-wisps would flicker everywhere, and during the day, fog would rise, causing people to panic."
The Japanese panicked, thinking they had released the vengeful spirits from the burial cave. They had to hire a local Onmyoji (a shamanic sorcerer), who instructed them to build a semi-underground crematorium at the base, seal all the rooms and windows, and burn all the ancient corpses excavated from the cave. They believed this would appease the spirits of the dead.
At this point, Ding Sitian seemed to find it somewhat amusing.
Then, Ding Sitian continued reading: "However, later a few bandits from the Northeast brought over a newly unearthed bronze box."
When Ding Sitian read this, Hua Mei and Lao Yangpi immediately looked at her, as if they wanted to know what would happen next.
Ding Sitian was unaware of all this and finished reading the last part.
That night, alarms blared throughout the entire research institute.
Ding Sitian finally stopped reading at this point.
The others looked at Ding Sitian, and the fat man couldn't help but ask, "That's it?"
Ding Sitian nodded and said, "That's all. That's all I can understand."
Bai Jing nodded and then analyzed, "In this way, everything we saw before can be put together. Moreover, judging from the time, it should have happened not long before the Soviet army attacked the Kwantung Army."
Considering the armory and regimental flag we saw, it's highly likely that the Japanese troops secretly stored them here, or that they didn't have time to take them with them when they retreated.
Everyone else agreed with Bai Jing's analysis.
The fat man suddenly remembered something and asked, "Hey? Isn't that the same bronze box that the 'white weasel' we encountered before asked us to find? Could it really contain the corpses of those 'white weasel' mothers?"
The others also remembered the white people asking them for help before.
At this moment, everyone became curious about what was going on with this bronze box. Could it really contain the corpses of those white-skinned mothers?
Chapter 64 Map
Since no one could figure it out, they started wandering around the room, hoping to find something useful.
The fat man felt a bit cold, and then he saw a piece of clothing. He picked it up and found a cylinder underneath it.
The fat man didn't know what this was, so he opened the cylinder and found a roll of paper inside.
After the fat man unrolled the paper, he said with some confusion, "Huh? There's another one here."
Upon hearing this, everyone rushed over.
Bai Jing took it and then laid it flat on the table.
Immediately, Bai Jing and Hu Bayi gathered around.
Wang Pangzi also found a 'Nanbu Type 14 pistol' there, also known as the 'Turtle Box'. If people didn't have submachine guns or rifles, they might have been quite interested in this thing, but now that they already have guns, they naturally don't care about this gun anymore.
Bai Jing took the pistol, glanced at it, and then tossed it to the fat man, saying, "This gun is decent in power, but it's prone to jamming and misfires occasionally. We don't need any more guns right now, so let's not bother with these."
Upon hearing this, Fatty Wang agreed with Bai Jing, immediately threw the turtle box on the ground, and began searching for other things.
Bai Jing ignored Fatty Wang and instead looked at Hu Bayi, asking, "How's it going, Lao Hu?"
Immediately afterward, Hu Bayi exclaimed with delight, "Old Bai, this is from this research institute!"
Immediately, Bai Jing looked at it and found that it was indeed the structural diagram of the research institute. In fact, every part of the entire research institute was clearly marked on this diagram.
Seeing this, Bai Jing smiled and said, "It seems we've found the route."
Upon hearing this, Fatty Wang stopped dealing with his junk and ran over, looking at the table and asking, "Old Bai, Old Hu, is this here?"
Bai Jing nodded and said, "That's right, this is the place."
Upon hearing this, Huamei walked over and asked the two of them, "Should we leave now or what?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Jing glanced at everyone. They had been walking all day, and everyone looked tired. Moreover, it was already past 10 p.m., and it was getting late.
So Bai Jing said, "Let's call it a day. I think everyone is tired. Let's rest here for the night and continue exploring tomorrow morning."
Almost everyone here agreed with Bai Jing's suggestion.
Although Huamei wanted to find the bronze box as soon as possible, she also knew that it was a bit unreasonable to ask everyone to continue exploring at this point.
Although the fear they experienced was much less than in the original timeline because of Bai Jing's presence, both the golden-scaled molten metal worm in the crematorium and the mummified corpse from earlier brought great fear to everyone, causing them to suffer physical and psychological pressure.
Then they entered the dark sewers. To be honest, even though Bai Jing was prepared, he was already feeling quite exhausted, both physically and mentally.
And what about other people?
Even if Bai Jing can hold on, the others probably won't be able to hold on much longer.
Immediately, everyone found a place to rest.
Seeing this, Bai Jing also found a place to rest.
Fatty Wang seemed to have discovered something and took a bottle down from the bookshelf.
Then, Fatty Wang opened the bottle and took a sniff, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was actually a bottle of wine.
Moreover, there was a string of Russian characters written on the bottle. These Russian characters were all handwritten, and Fatty Wang, being ignorant, didn't recognize them at all. Immediately, Fatty Wang took the bottle to Ding Sitian and asked, "Little Ding, what does this say?"
Upon hearing this, Ding Sitian looked at the bottle and then read aloud, "Momolotov cocktail?"
