Chapter 591: 591 Discovery
"Certainly, certainly, don’t worry, I’ve already told them."
"Good. Then let these six stay."
Fang Dayong looked at this female comrade and felt very puzzled.
The six of them already knew on the way that there was a female comrade here with the surname Su who was the second-in-command.
Unexpectedly, it was the same woman from last night, quite impressive indeed.
The other few people were also quite surprised. Such a young leader, it seems like she’s not just a figurehead.
Su Yuanyuan exchanged a few more polite words. Director Tian had left.
"Alright, since you’ve come all this way, you must follow the rules.
Let’s go, I’ll take you to find the person in charge."
"Mr. Su, rest assured, we will definitely behave properly."
Su Yuanyuan nodded and had someone lead the six of them away.
She hadn’t intended to expose them, hoping that they’d better behave themselves, otherwise having any other ideas here would be their real calamity.
At lunch, Shao Hongming returned, bringing some fruits for Su Yuanyuan, nothing else.
"The city sent six people."
"Yeah, I don’t understand their thinking. We’ve already said this place is extremely dangerous, yet they figured out a way to come over. If something happens, we can’t do anything."
"Yeah."
"By the way, these people deliberated all morning, but came up with no plan because someone claimed this place is toxic."
"Toxic?"
"Yeah, otherwise it’s impossible that no one has truly gone in for so many years."
"That’s quite formidable. Did you go to the hospital?"
"I did, but the hospital had no solution."
"Haha, really, but we can’t remain deadlocked like this forever. After so many years, is the toxin still that potent?"
"Who knows? But presumably, no one has the courage to try."
"Could protective measures not work?"
"What protective measures?"
"Actually, when you talk about toxins, it’s essentially airborne. Get someone to make those seamless plastic suits, make sure they’re wrapped tightly, and also be sure to bring plenty of masks.
Do you think this could work? Anyway, we can’t keep stalling like this, right?"
She certainly didn’t have time to waste here with them.
"Alright, let’s call them for a meeting right away."
Finally, it was decided that the protection would be made from plastic sheets, but they could only be taped.
Masks would be worn in several layers. In fact, they had encountered similar situations in previous archaeological ventures and had done so before. It’s just this time it was considered too dangerous, so they hesitated.
Su Yuanyuan didn’t care what they thought, in any case, they couldn’t keep dragging this on. This place wasn’t just for those professionals but also for some of them responsible for security.
In the afternoon, Zeng Hongling came over again. "Yuanyuan, you don’t know, they studied it for a long time, and finally decided to do it this way."
"What protection did you have at the time? It’s impossible you didn’t know anything?"
"We knew, we really decided, it’s just that my father suddenly changed his mind, which is why we got caught, okay? My dad was afraid my brother and I would be in danger, so he decided to quit."
"Then you shouldn’t go in either. Let’s talk about it in a few days, also make sure to wear the gloves properly."
"Yes, I think so too, we actually have them. I’ll bring you a set tonight."
"Thank you. So you don’t know what the toxin is either?"
Zeng Hongling shook her head, "This wouldn’t be recorded. Isn’t it just waiting for others to dig the tomb?"
"You’re right."
"Yuanyuan, are you going in?"
"Me? Either Shao Hongming or I will definitely go in. I’m thinking I’ll go in, after all, there’s so much to do outside."
"How dangerous is it?"
"If it doesn’t work out, I’ll just run out."
Meanwhile, Wei Guangxiang came to find Shao Hongming. "Leader, I apply to go in with you. I’ve studied this before, and my main purpose coming here is to search for someone.
My uncle has been missing for many years; I’ve been searching for years, and the final clue points here."
"Inside is very dangerous."
"I know, I heard about this type of tomb being toxic, I’m familiar with it, and after all, I’ve studied it, so let me try."
"Alright, but you must not make any other moves."
Wei Guangxiang nodded, "I understand." It’s already under national jurisdiction, no matter how big the treasure, nothing is more important than life and freedom, right?
"Then you wait for the notice, but I want you to know how to protect yourself?"
Wei Guangxiang nodded and left.
Shao Hongming came to find Su Yuanyuan, "I’ll go in, you take charge outside."
"Let me go instead, outside is too much hassle for you, I should go and have a look."
"It’s too dangerous. It’s not suitable for you to go."
"I’m more suitable than you, don’t worry about it. I’ll take good care of myself."
Shao Hongming was quite helpless. He really couldn’t persuade Su Yuanyuan.
At night, Su Yuanyuan was on duty for the first half of the night. Nothing happened in the second half.
In the morning, after breakfast, Su Yuanyuan put on the homemade protective suit that Zeng Hongling brought over. She was given a large piece of white cloth by Zeng Hongling, covering her head with only her eyes exposed.
This kind of protection was more adequate, but whether it was effective was unknown.
Su Yuanyuan found a pair of black-framed glasses. Wearing them, goodness, she didn’t even need a mirror to know how eye-catching her appearance was.
The archaeologists outside saw Su Yuanyuan’s outfit and immediately followed suit.
Their archaeological team had to have this white cloth, so there were plenty.
Wei Guangxiang looked at the well-equipped Su Yuanyuan and knew she was leading the team this time.
He really didn’t expect a woman to take the lead.
The time arrived, and the people outside began to prepare to open the stone.
Su Yuanyuan stood aside watching. She didn’t really feel it was that dangerous. Zeng Hongling came over.
"Yuanyuan, I’m so nervous."
"Nervous about what? Anyway, we’ll see in a while."
"Right, but everyone says it’s extremely dangerous, not sure how dangerous."
"Make sure to be careful. Didn’t your father tell you not to go? Why are you going in?"
"You’re going in, aren’t you? Besides, I’m afraid, but I’m also curious."
These stones were quite large and very regular; it must have been a massive project back then, right?
Once the first stone was lifted, those without protection quickly retreated a bit.
"It’s not poison, but the smell of gas inside."
The speaker was the most famous traditional Chinese medicine doctor from the city, invited by Shao Hongming.
His words had a great calming effect.
Then they resumed work.
Now, Yuanyuan’s Divine Sense already saw some of the situation inside. It should be that the stone had a shielding effect on the Divine Sense.
