A post-apocalyptic female soul travels back to the War of Resistance against Japan

Wang Cheng and Captain Li both turned to look at Cheng Ying in disbelief. Wang Cheng stammered, "Comrade Cheng, is this...is this all it takes?"

Cheng Ying nodded. "Yes, I've already put it away. Now we can go."

Captain Li exclaimed, "This is truly amazing! Cheng Ying, how are you so capable? This is the first time in my life I've ever seen anything like this. I never imagined that the legendary immortals were right before our eyes. It's unbelievable!"

Amidst Wang Cheng and Captain Li's astonishment, they continued their journey forward.

To reach the gold mine, they had to walk a long way along mountain paths. After walking for a while, they saw something glittering ahead.

Only when you get closer can you see that it is a stream. From a distance, bathed in moonlight, it looks like a silver ribbon stretching into the distance, with no end in sight.

The three of them walked along the stream, chatting and laughing all the way. Under the moonlight, the stream shimmered with silver light, like a fairyland.

After walking quite a distance, Cheng Ying looked around. All around were mountains and rocks. Captain Li said, "Let's find a place to rest for a while, and we should eat something too!"

Wang Cheng also said, "Finally, I can rest. I'm exhausted."

So they found a sheltered spot, fetched some water, started a campfire, cooked some soup in the small clay pot they had brought, and ate a simple meal with the dry rations they had brought.

After they finished eating, the three of them found a place to rest. At this time, Captain Li said, "Wang Cheng, we two should take turns resting. Comrade Cheng, one of us needs to be on guard. You can rest; you don't need to take turns."

Cheng Ying said, "I can also take turns with you. I don't sleep much."

The captain said, "No need, there's not much time left, the two of us can do it."

Seeing that Captain Li was quite resolute, Cheng Ying agreed. Cheng Ying spread a thick piece of cloth on a flat surface, draped her clothes over it, and took a short nap.

When Cheng Ying woke up again, it was already daylight! A thin morning mist, combined with the surrounding environment, made it seem like a fairyland. The stream was also very clear, flowing gurgling downstream.

Cheng Ying cupped her hands and washed her face with water, feeling its coolness. After tidying herself up, she woke up Captain Li and Wang Cheng, who were still fast asleep. After a quick breakfast, the three continued their journey towards the gold mine. Along the way, they traversed mountains and crossed streams. Although the journey was arduous, the three maintained their unwavering faith.

As they ventured deeper into the mountains, the surrounding environment became increasingly treacherous, but fortunately, Captain Li's extensive experience ensured they always found a path forward. Finally, after crossing a mountain, they saw a peak rising from the ravine ahead—the location of the gold mine. Excited, the three quickened their pace and headed towards the mine.

All three of them were deeply moved by the hardships they had endured along the way; it had been incredibly difficult, but they had finally persevered and reached their destination.

But as they got closer, they saw many people bustling about. Cheng Ying gestured for them to stop, saying, "Captain Li, there seems to be something going on over there. I don't know who's there, but there are a lot of people working on it."

Captain Li opened his eyes wide and looked around, as if he could see a figure. He was unsure but dared not approach rashly.

Captain Li frowned and said, "What should we do? They must be people sent by the Japanese."

Just then, Cheng Ying said, "I have an idea. Let's investigate first." As she spoke, she took out a miniature detector from her bag.

Wang Cheng and Captain Li asked in bewilderment, "What is this?"

Cheng Ying replied, "This is an aerial probe. You'll see how I operate it."

Cheng Ying fiddled with it for a while, then used a remote control to lift it into the sky and fly it towards a crowded area.

Cheng Ying taught them how to watch the screen. Captain Li took it and tried it out. He just had to shake the remote control to the left and it would go to the left; he had to shake it to the right and it would go to the right. The screen was very clear, and he immediately began to observe it with excitement.

Cheng Ying pointed to a button on the remote and said, "This button zooms in. Just press it once and you'll see."

With Cheng Ying's guidance, Captain Li finally mastered the operation of the remote control. When he zoomed in to see the people on the other side clearly, he was also taken aback.

Soldiers, clearly dressed in Japanese uniforms, were gathered there. Some were drilling, and others seemed to be mining. However, it seemed that there were other people mining as well, including some civilians.

Now I finally understand. It turns out that the Japanese have already arrived here and started mining.
