Candle in the Tomb (鬼吹灯之精绝古城)

Candle in the Tomb

Episode 4

- Fatty. - What?

Find something to break open this lock.

Coming.

Move out of the way.

What are these?

Japanese lunchboxes.

What are these?

- Wow! - This is good stuff.

Here, take off your bag.

Ying Zi, hold this.

Old Hu! Ying Zi! Come here.

Type 38 rifles!

They're all new and completely greased!

Don't point it at me.

You can never point your rifle at your own comrades.

Only traitors would point their gun at people on their own side.

What are you nodding for?

These lame Japanese guns can only hold five bullets. Also, it takes too long to reload.

Its backfire is also very strong. I'm not used to using these.

These Japanese guns are so useful. It's very forceful.

When my uncle was in the People's Liberation Army, he used these.

Why does Brother Hu not like these?

Don't mind him.

He's always playing around with automatic weapons in the army. He's spoiled.

He looks down on these older rifles.

I'm telling you, Ying Zi, these guns are more accurate.

Also, it has a long range.

Brother Fatty, why are you so familiar with guns?

Your Brother Fatty grew up in the army.

His father let him play with guns since he learned how to walk.

When he was in middle school, he was already a gun expert.

Ying Zi, I'm not bluffing.

I have extremely high precision.

Horseback shooting is like kids' play. If you don't believe me,

I'll put an egg on your Brother Hu's head to show you later.

If you didn't bluff all the time, then my surname is not Hu.

I'm unwilling to use those rifles

because Type 38 rifles don't suit short-distance fighting.

Come here, come here. Look!

Look what's here!

Brother Hu, what are these? Why do they look like this?

Is this a type 11 light machine gun? [ Wai Ba Zi, lit. crooked handle - a type 11 light machine gun used during Taisho, under the reign of Emperor Yoshihito. ]

These are the Japan-made Type 100 submachine gun.

Because production rate was very low, it's very rare.

After the war, these were later equipped to fight the Soviet Army.

These guns are better than your Type 38 rifles.

Even if it malfunctions, it'll only be jammed and won't accidentally discharge.

Drop your lame gun.

Enough, Old Hu. Now that we have these,

we won't even fear 10 of those monsters.

What now? Should we go back to kill him or find another place to investigate?

Go move that box over here.

Wow!

If we had these earlier, we wouldn't have suffered so much.

Why is one missing?

It's here.

You're rather quick.

That monster is still slamming into the door.

He's getting excited.

Old Hu, give me ten minutes, and I'll blow him up.

Don't show off. Let's find an exit. Safety first.

That's right.

Ying Zi, this is only because your Brother Hu won't give me a chance.

It's not because I'm afraid. I was never scared!

Let's go.

Look, there's light up ahead.

I hope it's an exit. Let's go.

Why'd you suddenly stop?

I smell blood.

Do you guys smell it?

This is the exit that you found?

Can humans even leave from here?

This isn't an exit. It's a vent.

Why'd you push me?

I didn't push you.

Brother Hu,

what's wrong?

Before, you asked me if I saw a child, right?

You also saw it?

No,

but I think something's wrong.

You two, don't scare me.

Don't alarm them. These things are very dangerous.

It wasn't me.

Shoot!

I'm out of bullets!

Fire in bursts. You hold down the trigger. It's no wonder that you couldn't be faster!

I'm also out of bullets!

Don't waste your breath. Take Ying Zi and run!

Run, Ying Zi!

- Brother Fatty, give me the ammunition clip. - What ammunition clip?

Old Hu, hurry and come here!

The big baby is coming!

Fatty, you idiot!

Stink bomb.

Run!

- Old Hu. - You idiot!

You idiot!

- How many times did it make a sound? - What are you talking about?

If it's a grenade, call it by its name. What "big baby"?

I already told you to come over.

What time of grenade is that? It didn't make a sound.

It was out of use for too long.

What do you mean?

Why did it make a sound when I threw it, but not when you threw it? You're too unlucky.

Good thing it didn't explode. If it did, I would have died!

If you come up with more new terminology, tell me beforehand!

Brother Hu, behind you.

No, on your back.

- Look. - What's wrong?

This looks like the hand print of a child.

Impossible. He must have rubbed it on himself.

Brother Hu, didn't you say that something bumped you?

I felt like I was pushed. Also, it was strong.

Let's not scare ourselves.

What did you see?

I saw a child walk by.

What did it look like? A child, right?

I think it was a child.

Didn't you say that there's no children here?

- Oh, no. Let's go see. - Be careful.

Why is there a door here?

Did the child enter through this door?

Old Hu, did we meet the Taoist priest from Mount Lao who can travel through walls?

Flashlight.

Entry forbidden?

What does this mean?

It means we can't enter while standing. We have to lay down to go inside. ("li" means "standing")

It must be a morgue or a cremator.

Stop with your nonsense. These four characters

probably mean "no trespassing".

Although I don't know Japanese, I understand military installations.

Look, these three should be vents.

When the iron door closes, they'll automatically remove the air inside,

and the inside will become a semi-vacuum. It's an airtight door.

Valuable items should be stored inside.

Valuable items? Would there be treasures inside?

You only care about money. Valuable items aren't necessarily treasures.

Maybe it's chemical weapons or biological weapons.

What has the highest possibility of being inside?

I didn't put the things inside; how would I know?

This is so troubling. Stop shining the flashlight, Old Hu.

Didn't we come here to find the fortress?

If there are treasures inside, it belongs to us Chinese.

The Japanese stole them from us.

As representatives of the outstanding youth of the new era,

don't we have the responsibility to bring it back?

Fatty, I know what you're thinking,

but finding an exit is the most important right now.

I agree with Brother Hu.

We didn't bring any food, and we didn't find any food in this Japanese fortress.

If we starve to the point where we can't even crawl, we'll die.

Old Hu, you're right,

but the bats are blocking us from behind.

What if there's an exit inside this room? We should at least open it to see.

Right?

That's a possibility,

but it doesn't mean there'll be an exit inside

because this secret room wasn't marked on the map.

It only said that there's an exit here, but we can try it out.

First, let's make one thing clear: you must listen to my instructions.

I've always been listening to you!

What are you doing?

Hold this.

One, two, three!

Isn't this a coffin museum?

Why are so many coffins here?

Looks like our first guess was correct.

No chemical materials are here.

This was probably a tomb that the Japanese found while digging out this fortress.
