Chapter 1180: Tough

Though "The Tombs" correlates to a world where the air is fatally toxic,

it still maintains a normal cycle of day and night, with time slightly longer than on Earth, about 30 hours.

Han Dong and the doctor woke up at night, which was also when the villagers were active.

When daylight came, no villagers could be seen anywhere in the village; they were all sleeping in their own homes... People with better means even prepared coffins that nurtured corpse energy to use as beds.

At the same time,

when daylight arrived, Han Dong also felt weak and listless, clearly an effect of this corpse body.

Furthermore,

a night's search yielded some discoveries, as well as a better understanding of the village.

Han Dong and the doctor found a very suspicious basement deep within the Huang Family Mansion that had been abandoned for two hundred years.

The basement was equipped with a steam-powered precision machine, similar to a combination of a "mill" and a "distiller."
