102: 102.

Underground tomb 102: 102.

Underground tomb After leaving the city, the two of them headed in the opposite direction of the temple fair.

Twenty li later, they were completely in the desolate wilds, without a single person in sight.

Xiao Cha was pulling a handcart deeper into the wilderness, and at the same time said:

“The Wang family sought glory through betrayal by signing the Treaty of Shimonoseki; many heroes wanted to dig up their family tomb.

Back then a group had already dug a tunnel, but unexpectedly, the Wang family had painstakingly installed a three-foot thick stone slab inside the ancestral tomb.

They were caught by the Patrol Bureau while buying explosives in the city.”

Talking as they walked, a pine forest hillside appeared before them.

Xiao Cha took a deep breath and said briskly, “This group knew they were doomed, so they told my father the location of the tunnel, which is right here.”

As the girl spoke, she arrived in front of a crooked tree, growing diagonally.

It was a locust tree, distinct in the pine forest due to its unusual shape.

Xiao Cha said, “Hey dimwit, use your ‘Heavenly Eye’ to check around this tree.”

“Okay.”

Lu Li opened his Heavenly Eye and quickly pointed to a spot in front of the tree: “There’s an empty space beneath here.”

Xiao Cha went over for a check and soon plunged her hand into the ground, exerting force suddenly!

“Up!”

She lifted a large wooden board, and after the soil and rocks rolled away, a “thieves’ hole” was revealed.

The hole was beautifully dug, looking like a well, more than thirty meters deep.

At the bottom lay the thick stone slab, with clear signs of previous attempts at excavating.

Clearly, they had also considered using explosives.

Now, it was time for the “Heavy Rocket Launcher” to make its appearance.

Lu Li took it out and loaded a huge rocket into it from behind.

Xiao Cha watched, astonished: “That thing is huge…

its power must be much greater than your previous one!”

“My old gadget had firepower to brag about.”

Lu Li’s gaze intensified, and with his Spirit, he held the rocket launcher, floating it above the hole before pulling the trigger.

A heavy 6.2-kilogram “Armor-piercing Rocket” roared out!

A muffled boom sounded, the earth shook three times, and the hole spat out a fierce Shock Wave and flames.

Xiao Cha exclaimed excitedly, “Fireworks~ let’s see if it blew open~”

“It should be fine.” Lu Li peeked down and indeed saw a big cavity.

A 120 mm rocket propelled by the PF98, with an armor-piercing capability of 800 mm RHA and the ability to destroy defensive structures—how could a mere slab of stone stand in its way?

“Let’s go down.”

Lu Li opened his trunk, activated his Spirit, and made the Metal Ball fly down, smashing through the remaining rock and dirt.

After clearing the entrance completely, he made the Metal Ball ascend, ferrying the two of them and their equipment up and down like an elevator.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Passing through the entrance, they finally entered the tomb.

This was a huge underground structure that Lu Li couldn’t see the end of at a glance, which wasn’t surprising considering this was the Extraordinary World.

The floor and walls were neatly paved with green bricks, with traces of incense candles and offerings everywhere—clearly people came down here to worship frequently.

Xiao Cha spat into her palm, saying, “Let’s start!”

The tomb was divided into several chambers, each laying to rest the ancestors of the Wang family.

Approaching the nearest one, as soon as they entered, they smelled the fragrance of Phoebe nanmu wood—the door was made of it.

The two pushed open the door and their expressions changed simultaneously.

They saw a coffin in the center, with a six- or seven-year-old child seated around it.

Dressed in colorful clothes, lifelike, they were the mercury-filled “spiritual children.”

Xiao Cha, with a stern face, carefully moved the children aside, and then…

“Fuck your mother!”

She kicked the coffin, sending it flying apart, scattering the body and burial goods inside.

The body inside wore a crystal cap and a blue official robe, its shriveled nostrils twitched, and it suddenly stood up!

Fangs and claws emerged, and with its purplish-black skin, it was indeed a zombie!

Just as the zombie was about to pounce, Lu Li frowned and said,

“I still can’t accept this kind of burial custom.

Wouldn’t it be all right to have some traps guarding the tomb?”

“Traps can fail sooner or later, but zombies don’t.

Let me try the gun~”

Xiao Cha took out an M500 revolver from her waist and aimed it at the zombie, pulling the trigger.

Deafening thunderous roars followed, the first shot hit its chest, blasting a huge hole big enough to fit an egg, and the zombie retreated a large step backward, wailing in pain.

The second shot hit the forehead, blowing the zombie’s head off, and the creature fell to the ground, motionless.

“What tremendous power!” Xiao Cha looked at the firearm in her hands and marveled again and again.

Lu Li was waving a flashlight and looking for treasure, but soon realized it was superfluous.

Xiao Cha could see in the dark like a feline, and he himself possessed the Heavenly Eye, which, although displaying in black and white, was exceptionally clear.

He therefore put away the flashlight and began searching for burial objects among the books.

“These books are the same as last time, useless.”

Lu Li quickly stood up, disappointed, but Xiao Cha had gathered a pile of jade and silver ingots into a hemp bag, exclaiming excitedly,

“Treasures are great too, after all, we can’t exchange everything for Calming Incense.

Buying something feels like thieving, and we can’t even buy big items~”

Seeing the jade, Lu Li suddenly remembered it was useful for the final step of crafting a “Puppet,” which actually saved him a lot of trouble.

~~~~~~~~~~~

The two headed to the second tomb chamber, which had a similar layout.

Xiao Cha still put the child to one side and kicked the coffin flying with one foot.

This time the zombie was obviously much stronger, stabilizing its body mid-air and landing smoothly, like a big cat.

It was even wearing armor, probably a military officer, and charged straight at Xiao Cha.

Xiao Cha pulled a “W95 heavy machine gun” from behind her back, “click-clacking” as she pulled the bolt.

The heavy machine gun was not originally designed for handheld use, and even without the tripod, it weighed 50 pounds.

Xiao Cha easily cradled it in both arms, switched off the safety, and pulled the trigger at the zombie that was already pouncing towards her.

Amid the violent noise of jackhammer-like construction work, the machine gun spit flames from the muzzle, and the air blurred for an instant.

In just one second, ten 12.7MM bullets whistled out, easily crushing the zombie and its armor.

The monster burst into pieces in mid-air, raining down shreds upon the ground.

The bullets continued flying, drilling countless large holes in the brick wall behind.

Xiao Cha stared in disbelief, tremblingly said, “This, this kind of power?

Are zombies made of paper?”

She kicked a piece of debris hard, only for the rebound to numb her foot!

If they had used the shotgun or the Children’s Rifle on this monster, they would have had to hop around busily for a long time.

But with a heavy machine gun, it was just the matter of a flick of a finger!

Lu Li was not surprised at this, for this was indeed the power that an anti-vehicular automatic weapon should have.

He went forward to look for treasure, but came away unlucky–this dead stiff had no accompanying books to bury!

Instead, there was no shortage of treasures, which Xiao Cha happily packed into the hemp bag.

And it was at this moment that a terrifying howl echoed throughout the underground tomb!

One after another, zombies began rising from their coffins, numbering no less than thirty!

Their previous ruckus must have awakened the Wang family ancestors.

Countless eyes glowing green flickered in the darkness, the oppressive low growls raising goosebumps on one’s flesh.

Xiao Cha stood with her heavy machine gun, excitedly laughing, “Don’t worry about it, let me handle this!”

Lu Li shrugged and said, “Hurry up then, I’m quite disappointed with this place.”

“Don’t lose heart, if all else fails, we can take down the Wang Family Ancestral Hall!”

Xiao Cha was obviously getting a little too confident.

What they didn’t know was that not far above their heads was the Wang Family Ancestral Hall.

This place, usually quiet, was now filled with the prominent members of the Wang family, discussing the matter of “extending the lineage” for the youngest of the main branch.

The atmosphere on the scene was heavy as everyone knew well that this was about fighting for the Distributing Right of the Ice Soul Powder.
