Chapter 458: 457. Not in a hurry Chapter 458: 457. Not in a hurry Tang Shu, who had already descended into the tomb with Director Yang, had no idea that soone was bad-mouthing her behind her back.
After walking for two minutes along the central axis of the tomb, she detected a different odor in the air, unlike any she had slled before.
Almost imperceptible, yet she recognized a hint of the distinct sll of dicine.
It wasn’t like traditional Chinese dicine, could it be… Western dicine?
Tang Shu lightly furrowed her brow, discreetly observing her surroundings. After ensuring there were no changes in environnt, she took out a small porcelain bottle and fed herself an Elixir.
She tapped her watch on her left hand and sent a ssage to Su Xiaochi outside.
Once Director Yang led everyone into the Main Tomb Chamber, the final day of archaeological work began. The familiarity with every aspect of the tomb grew as the unchanging routine continued for three consecutive days.
“Professor Chen, please have a look at this, the ceramic used to hold items has developed cracks.”
“Let see… indeed there are so cracks. Carefully remove the dust from the surface, put it into a box to take back and see if it can be restored.”
“Yes, Professor.”
The items in the Ancient Tomb were so ancient that many had sustained so damage, causing everyone to handle them with increased caution.
After Tang Shu finished transcribing the Stone tablet writings on the wall wearing white gloves, she joined Professor Cao’s group.
Half an hour later, she felt a slight heaviness in her head. After a mont of alertness, she pulled off her gloves and checked her pulse.
Huh? Was she drugged with a sedative?
It turned out that the barely detectable scent in the air contained hallucinatory components, and the other party had used a Western dicine capable of evaporating into the air.
Tang Shu took two Detoxification Pills, her gaze resting on the people around her for a mont before she put away the white porcelain vase again.
Less than five minutes later, Director Yang and others began to show signs of weakness, occasionally appearing drowsy and listless.
After Fang Yining let a porcelain vase smash to the ground, one after the other, everyone fainted.
Tang Shu was already located in the Northwest of the Main Tomb Chamber. She leaned back against a stone behind her and closed her eyes, pretending to faint.
A black button at her collar, however, recorded all the scenes inside the Main Tomb Chamber.
As expected, two minutes after everyone fell unconscious, a series of dull knocking sounds ca from the eastern wall of the chamber, and sotis dust fell from above.
For the first ti, an unprecedented atmosphere of crisis pervaded the Ancient Tomb.
“Wow, these folks are really sothing, not taking the usual path at all!”
The teasing voice of Su Xiaochi ca through the earpiece, mischievously, “Aiya, Sister Tang, can’t you see?”
“…”
“Let tell you, they are actually smashing the wall! Tsk tsk, no wonder we didn’t notice anyone approaching from outside, turns out these guys have learned the Tunneling Technique.”
“…”
“The noise is getting louder. I reckon it’ll take them another minute or two before they can break through.”
“…”
Tang Shu wished she could imdiately sever her connection with him.
Was this a ti for joking? He had completely ruined the serious atmosphere.
Tang Shu slowly opened her eyes and observed Director Yang and the rest for a while to make sure everyone was unconscious, then she could not bear it any longer.
“Can you stick to the point, when will you arrive?”
“No hurry, your Sister Nuan said to wait a bit longer, to see what exactly they want to do.”
Sister Nuan?
After a mont’s thought, Tang Shu knew that the other support team was not far from here and also had a rough idea of Wen Nuan’s plan.
