The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

Zhang Qishan was a man of action, and without any hesitation, he gave an order to his adjutant Zhang and went straight into the back room.

Fang Yun and the others gradually caught up.

The rear compartment was very dark, but it wasn't completely enclosed; light shone in from the gaps in the metal sheets where they weren't properly welded.

On both sides of the carriage, there was a row of large wooden frames, which were filled with large outer coffins and inner coffins secured with iron locks.

These coffins were made of wood and stone, but most of them were made of wood. They were all beginning to rot and crack, and there was a lot of dried mud on them. The smell of corpses and earth was extremely strong.

Judging from the size, shape, and degree of decay of these coffins, they can all be considered ancient coffins.

Moreover, these coffins had been hidden in the train for quite some time, as the carriages were full of spider webs, making it feel like entering a spider's web cave when you stepped inside.

"So many coffins...it's almost as much as the entire harvest of the Nine Gates in a year."

After looking around, Huo San Niang exclaimed in surprise.

While others were concerned with the ghost car, she was concerned with the coffin.

A quick glance suggests there are at least thirty or forty coffins in this first carriage.

Keep in mind that this train has fifteen carriages. If each carriage contained so many coffins, there would be hundreds of coffins in total.

With so many coffins, if no one has ever opened them... then these coffins are a gold mine.

But the fact that these coffins appeared on the Japanese military train suggests that the contents had probably already been looted by the Japanese soldiers.

Thinking of this, Huo Sanniang felt a strong desire to investigate.

Riku himself must have found the great tomb, and that great tomb must not be far from Changsha City, but within the territory of Changsha.

Otherwise, if the ghost train had passed through other train stations, it would have been stopped long ago.

Now that we've run into each other, we absolutely can't let this opportunity pass us by.

At this moment, Zhang, the adjutant who had finished arranging the city lockdown and had squeezed to the end of the carriage, waved to Zhang Qishan.

"Master, the door leading to the next section (Li Liao's) is still welded shut, and it's painted with Japanese characters!"

Zhang Qishan stepped forward and saw that it was indeed a sealed-off carriage, with the Japanese characters on it.

Moreover, these Japanese characters are painted on, and they look quite vibrant. The coating must have been applied no more than ten years ago.

Seeing this, Zhang Qishan's expression grew even more grave.

In recent years, Rihanna has made such a big move in Changsha, yet he has not discovered anything.

The current situation is turbulent, and it is the eve of a major battle. Riku himself is doing this in order to destabilize Changsha.

Once this strange event gets out, not only will the morale of the general public drop significantly, but even the morale of the soldiers will suffer.

After a moment's consideration, Zhang Qishan instructed his adjutant, Zhang:

"Lieutenant, bring all of Zhang's personal guards here, drive away all the onlookers, and then cut open all the car doors."

"Remember, this must be done by the personal guards; don't let ordinary soldiers see what's inside the vehicle."

Chapter 163 The Main Tomb Chamber Inside the Carriage!

About ten minutes later, all the carriage doors were cut open and could be kicked open with a single kick.

The group entered the next carriage.

This carriage was no different from the previous one, filled with coffins and covered in cobwebs.

"Poisonous moth silk..."

As he twisted a spider web, Fang Yun's expression became clear.

These white threads are not actually spider webs, but rather the silk spun by poisonous moths. These moths are less toxic than corpse moths, but they live in much larger groups and are still dangerous poisonous insects.

Clearly, there were many toxic substances in that mine.

As you walked further into the carriages, the fewer coffins you could see.

At the same time, the coffins located closer to the rear of the vehicle were of higher specifications.

Such a large number of coffins can only be seen in mass graves and burial mounds.

However, you can't find such a nanmu wood coffin in a regular mass burial ground. People who can afford to sleep in a nanmu wood coffin certainly wouldn't be buried in a mass burial ground.

This shows that these coffins were dug out from a mass burial site.

In the next few carriages, there wasn't a single coffin in the 520 carriage.

The group arrived at the residential area.

Five or six carriages were converted into living quarters, filled with small bunk beds and small tables for placing personal belongings.

Of course, these are not unusual sights.

Strangely, there was a corpse lying on almost every bed.

The corpses were completely covered by the silk of the poisonous moths. Only after the silk was peeled away could the appearance of the corpses be seen.

All the corpses were curled up together, lying face down on the bed, their mouths agape on the pillows, as if something had crushed them.

Upon closer inspection, the corpses were covered with countless tiny holes, making it look as if something had crawled out of them.

"Fang Yun!"

At this moment, Hua's expression changed, and she whispered to Fang Yun:

"The wounds on the corpse all opened from the inside out, as if something had bitten them open from the inside out, and..."

Fang Yun nodded in agreement with Hua's words.

Hua guessed correctly; that's how the wounds on these corpses were inflicted. (bjbd)

If I remember correctly... there were some dirty things in the mine that looked like black hair, which could live inside the human body, eventually devour the flesh and blood, and then break out of the body.

That black hair is indeed dangerous, but for him and Hua, it's just a minor issue.

Before the blood of the Qilin and the seal of Zhongyuan, even a dragon must coil up, and a tiger must lie down.

Although the sound of the flowers was faint, it was still quite clear to be heard in the quiet carriage.

"Miss, have you ever seen anything like this before?"

Zhang Qishan was most concerned and immediately asked a question.

Upon hearing this, Hua pondered for a moment, then nodded and said:

“I have seen many similar corpses. In these cases, something grows inside the corpse, and eventually that thing crawls out of the corpse, which causes this kind of wound.”

“If you look closely at those wounds, they all opened from the inside out. Judging from their size, the thing that killed these people wasn’t very big.”

After Hua finished speaking, Zhang Qishan's face darkened, and he looked at his adjutant Zhang.

"Lieutenant, have someone prepare white cloth bags, put on gas masks, seal these corpses, and transport them all out of the city to be burned. Be careful, there may still be something inside the corpses."

He had also seen the filthy creatures that liked to burrow into corpses, with corpse beetles and corpse moths being the most notorious of them.

The corpses touched by those poisonous insects must be cleaned thoroughly, otherwise the toxins will spread and cause trouble.

"Yes!"

Lieutenant Zhang nodded solemnly and immediately got out of the carriage.

Next, Zhang Qishan selected several more corpses and dug out all their feet from the poisonous moth silk.

Upon seeing the shape of the corpse's feet, everyone present immediately understood.

These people are all Riku himself.

Because Riku himself wore wooden clogs for a long time, his big toe and index toe were somewhat bent, which is why these corpses have such feet.

"It was Rihiro himself who died..."

Upon seeing this, Zhang Qishan became even more puzzled.

Could it be that Riki himself found a large burial site and got into trouble there?

But if that's the case, why would Ri himself drive this car into Changsha? Wouldn't that be like trying to hide something obvious? If the news spreads, everyone will know that Ri himself has something going on.

Or perhaps... Riku himself had already looted the entire tomb, and this car was simply used to affect the morale of Changsha.

"call.."

Zhang Qishan took a deep breath, suppressed his doubts, and walked straight forward.

The last carriage is just ahead.

Whatever schemes Riku himself may have, we should just meet them head-on and break through them!

"Wait a minute."

Just as Zhang Qishan kicked open the door of the last carriage and was about to enter, Qi Tiezui let out a low shout.

Qi Tiezui seemed to realize something, and after speaking, he quickly stepped in front of Zhang Qishan.

"Master, this is the main burial chamber! We can't be careless!"

"The main burial chamber?"

Upon hearing Qi Tiezui's words, apart from Fang Yun, whose expression remained calm, everyone else wore expressions of confusion.

"Yes, look at the last carriage. Is it any different from the previous ones?"
