The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

Ghost ship.

"Fortunately, the cabin wasn't as fragile as the deck, otherwise we would have fallen into the sea. Thanks to Brother Fang Yun for giving us that piece of jade, which protected us from the attack of those strange hands. Fang Yun is truly extraordinary! It's a good thing we went ahead and called Fang Yun beforehand, otherwise we would have perished in the sea before even seeing the ancient tomb."

Wu Xie felt relieved.

"Hey, can you stop pressing down on me? Get off me right now."

A Ning suddenly spoke, startling Wu Xie.

"You ungrateful woman! I risked my life to save you from this ghost ship, and this is how you treat your savior?"

Despite his words, Wu Xie still stood up from A Ning's body.

"What do you mean, 'save me'? What are you talking about? I just woke up here! What happened?"

Ah Ning asked in confusion.

"Don't you have any memories of what happened before? When we were on the ship, we encountered a ghost ship. Two hands grabbed you and dragged you into the ghost ship. I risked my life to save you."

Wu Xie explained.

"You, you're not trying to scare me. There's no ghost hand here. But this definitely doesn't seem to be the original ship."

Ah Ning looked around and said.

"Alright, that hand shouldn't be looking for you for now, but we still need to be careful. When we were on the ship, that ghostly hand only found you. I don't know why it pulled you here. You'd better stay within a meter of me, otherwise if there's any danger, I won't be able to save you immediately."

Wu Xie said earnestly.

Seeing Wu Xie's serious expression, A Ning also felt that what Wu Xie said was probably true.

Moreover, the surrounding environment is indeed not the original ship.

Thinking of this, Ah Ning broke out in a cold sweat.

Because the deck had collapsed due to the two men's actions, outside light was able to shine into the cabin.

After pausing for a moment, the two began to look around at their surroundings.

"Actually, I do know a bit about ships. Judging from its style, this ship is probably from the 1970s or 80s. It's a fishing boat, a vessel used specifically for fishing trips. The space in the cabin, separated by wooden planks, is the crew's rest area. An area this large is probably where the cargo is stored."

"However, if you slowly pry these things apart, you'll find that this ship probably didn't sink on the way."

Chapter 259 Uncle's Notes!

"Moreover, the keel of this ship should not have been completely corroded, otherwise it would be impossible for this ship to sail in such wind and waves. However, the contents here are not quite consistent with the basic condition of the ship. Look at this white sea rust. This level of sea rust has been soaking on the seabed for at least more than ten years."

Ah Ning said.

"If there is a large storm in this area, like the tropical storm we just experienced, could it lift up the sunken ships in the sea and make them float on the surface?"

Wu Xie quickly asked.

"What are you thinking? This sea rust clearly means it has been submerged on the seabed for more than ten years, or even decades. Do you know how complex the sea sand and various environmental factors on the seabed are? Once a ship has been submerged for more than ten years, the hull will have long been embedded in the sea sand. Let alone these storms, even if you use a crane to lift it, it will be very difficult to lift the ship up without damaging the hull."

Aning shook her head.

"If what Aning said is true, then how did the ship sink? If the ship sank, there must have been holes in it. Even if someone salvaged the ship, there would still be holes in the hull. Does the ship have the ability to repair itself?"

Wu Xie was full of doubts.

Wu Xie suppressed his doubts and led A Ning toward the cabin.

Before Wu Xie was a wooden board riddled with holes, as if it would fall apart at the slightest touch.

Wu Xie thought to himself that this must be the wooden board used for the partition, and was about to kick the board to break it when...

Aning stopped them.

"Are you crazy? I already told you that these wooden planks were built to separate the rooms. The deck is attached to these planks. If you kick them, it's not just a small matter, but if you knock the deck off, that would be very dangerous."

Ah Ning said.

"You can't see anything inside the cabin, so it would be better to break this deck so that more light can shine in from outside."

Wu Xie thought to himself.

No matter what, Wu Xie had gone through a series of events with Fang Yun and the others at the Lu Palace.

Although they were on a ghost ship, Wu Xie remained unusually calm.

Even though her nerves were still on edge, she no longer showed the same panic as before, which shows that she has indeed grown.

"It's ridiculous to go to such lengths to install a door on this wooden board. I don't know what people were thinking back then. Do you see much difference between opening the door and removing the board?"

Wu Xie said helplessly.

A Ning glared at Wu Xie, but still opened the door after half-pushing and half-pulling it open.

"It's too dark in here. We left our flashlights on the previous ship. Otherwise, we should break a hole in the deck so that we can get some light and walk around more easily."

Wu Xie said with a smile.

Ah Ning thought for a moment and nodded.

In fact, Wu Xie had long anticipated experiencing these things. Not to mention the woman in front of him, even he himself was somewhat afraid.

Wu Xie finally managed to break off several pieces of the brittle, paper-like splint from his head, following his own plan.

In an instant, the room was illuminated much more.

The two looked around at their surroundings.

There is an iron bed here, and an iron cabinet in the corner.

Wu Xie was very curious, so he went to the corner and reached out to open the drawer in front of him.

Wu Xie pulled it gently, but he didn't expect the drawer to be so loose.

Wu Xie pulled it out, originally thinking that a place like this would at most contain some nautical logs.

In other words, it's a record kept by the captain of the ship about what happened on his voyage.

Wu Xie thought that there weren't many literate people in that era.

Wu Xie felt that even if there were things in the drawer, they wouldn't be of much use to him.

Surprisingly, when I opened the drawer, there was a waterproof bag inside.

There seems to be something inside this waterproof bag.

Wu Xie opened the waterproof bag, and a notebook appeared before his eyes.

Wu Xie looked closely and saw that the cover of the notebook read "Archaeological Records of Wanjiao in Xisha"!

Wu Xie subconsciously flipped to the first page of the notebook.

What comes into view are a few neatly written characters.

In July 1984, Wu Sansheng presented Chen Wenjin with a gift!

"This, isn't Wu Sansheng Uncle's full name? And Aunt Wenjin too! Could this notebook have been left behind by Uncle and the others? Why would something like this appear here? This is a ghost ship!"

Wu Xie felt as if he had been choked.

· ·········Request flowers· ···

Wu Xie's original doubts, combined with seeing this notebook, all burst forth in an instant.

Wu Xie felt like his head was about to explode.

"Could this ship be related to Uncle's expedition back then? Why is this ship here? Could it be the ship Uncle used when he went to sea?"

Wu Xie felt that the truth was right in front of him, but he couldn't see it clearly.

"That old fox, Third Uncle, never tells the truth. He definitely didn't tell me the most important parts of the story, only some trivial things. If I had known a few more details, the truth of what happened back then might have come to light."

Wu Xie muttered to himself.

"This notebook may contain some of the truth. Although there are other people around, the truth will eventually come to light. I need to understand the key to this matter."

...... 0 .......

Wu Xie made a decision in his heart.

Wu Xie opened the notebook, which contained very detailed notes.

Basically, Chen Wenjin recorded most of the things, starting with a list of people.

The first one on top is Wu Sansheng, who is the team leader.

As Wu Xie looked at the list of people, he immediately felt as if he had seen a ghost.

He wore an expression of disbelief.

The name Zhang Qi is written in the middle of this list of personnel!

“It’s impossible for them all to have the same name, and Zhang Qi’s behavior in the Lu King’s tomb was also extremely strange, but according to the timeline, Zhang Qi shouldn’t be this young.”

Wu Xie's doubts deepened.

Wu Xie turned to the next page out of curiosity.

The following content describes in great detail how to determine the location of an island.

This includes the types of ropes used at the time.

Wu Xie had no more interest in looking at these things, so he flipped directly to the last page of the notebook.
