"All phenomena today can be explained by science! We will not be frightened by these superstitions. If you are afraid, you can hide behind me."
Tan Lin put his arm on Chu Ye's shoulders and said with a smile: "If you are afraid, just say, don't hold on. You are not allowed to wet your pants after going to the grave!"
"Hahaha..." The scene burst into laughter.
Tan Lin is the oldest among these staff. He has worked with Director Wu for five or six years. He has a doctorate in archeology and has experience in overseas assignments. He once participated in the excavation of an ancient pyramid tomb in Egypt. He is one of them.
the backbone of.
Now that Senior Brother Tan has said that there is nothing to be afraid of, everyone has thrown away their previous fear of the prince's tomb.
While chatting with Zhu Wanlin and reminiscing about old times, Director Wu used his peripheral vision to look towards the crowd. He saw young people quarreling with each other, but he didn't bother to pay attention. He glanced at his watch and said: "It's getting late now. We still have some time before we go to the grave."
There is a lot of preparation work to be done, so let’s get started!”
"yes!"
"Xiao Tan, you take a few boys to survey the tomb gate. Hu Feifei, you take the girls to set up camp."
"OK!"
Tan Lin nodded, led a few boys to carry various detection equipment, and walked towards the tomb door not far away.
Hu Feifei, the beautiful girl with short hair just now, took a few girls to find an open space and started setting up camp.
The survey and excavation of the prince's tomb this time will take at least two or three days. It is too late to rush back to the city in the evening, so we will probably have to camp in the mountains and forests for the next two days.
Chu Ye and Zhu Wanlin were sitting aside, smoking cigarettes, without any preparation.
After a while, all the staff of the archaeological institute had packed up their outfits. They were all wearing special protective clothing, carrying headlamps on their heads, carrying various tool bags, and were fully armed.
Only Chu Ye and Zhu Wanlin were wearing daily clothes and did not even have basic protective equipment.
Seeing that the two of them had not prepared anything, Director Wu couldn't help but rub his brows and said helplessly: "Going to the grave is not a child's play. If you continue like this, someone will die."
"Director, I have two spare sets of protective suits here. Why don't you lend them to them first? It's too dangerous for them to continue like this."
At this time, a thin girl next to her spoke with concern.
"Thank you very much. Give it to Boss Zhu, I won't need it."
Chu Ye smiled and said.
The girl was a little surprised: "You really don't need it?
The oxygen content in the tomb is low, the air is not smooth, and there are various toxic substances. What if..." "Zhou Ge, stop talking nonsense, don't you hear that people don't need it?
Don’t be lucky, save us a set of protective clothing!”
Tan Lin glanced sideways at Zhou Ge, "You're a logistics worker, so don't meddle in our own business. They're not related to us, so just mind yourselves."
Tan Lin spoke very rudely to girls.
After all, Zhou Ge is average-looking, and at first glance she is just an inconspicuous girl, far less attractive than a lively beauty like Hu Feifei.
So Tan Lin was very disgusted with her and always arranged for her to do logistics work.
"I'm sorry, Senior Brother Tan."
Zhou Ge quickly lowered his head, looking like he had done something wrong and was waiting to be punished.
Chu Ye saw all this, and he smiled helplessly. This girl was actually a good person. She did not look down on others because of the difference in status between the two parties. She also actively worried about the safety of others and was willing to take out her own things and share them selflessly with others.
, but he was not popular with Tan Lin, so he was ignored everywhere.
"Since Xiao Chu doesn't want it, then forget it, hahaha."
Zhu Wanlin put on a protective suit himself and smiled.
"Well, if something happens, you will be responsible for it yourself."
Director Wu sighed. Since this young man was so stubborn, it was hard for him to say anything more.
Today's young people just don't have self-awareness and are too arrogant! He already had a premonition that Chu Ye would suffer a lot in the future.
Over the years, many adventurous travelers have disappeared and died, most of them are young people. These young people have enthusiasm and adventurous spirit, but lack professional knowledge and awe of nature! Tan Lin took the lead in releasing a
A small drone began to take pictures of this mountain forest. The group of people followed the guidance of the drone and walked along the winding mountain path.
The tomb gate of the prince's tomb is less than two kilometers away from the camp. However, due to the rugged mountain road, the group walked for more than half an hour before reaching the tomb gate with difficulty.
At this time, the mountains were already a little gloomy.
The entire tomb gate is shrouded in the shadow of another main peak, making it look slightly gloomy.
"The door of the tomb is made of several huge stones. It cannot be opened unless explosives are used. Previously, a robbery hole was discovered near the archaeological site, and you can enter through the robbery hole."
Director Wu pointed to a big tree dozens of meters away from the tomb door and said.
Chu Ye looked around and saw that the middle of this big tree, which was at least a hundred years old, was hollowed out. There was a hole in the trunk that was big enough for two people to enter at the same time.
If someone hadn't reminded me, it would have been very difficult to find the entrance to this cave.
"Those tomb robbers were so cunning back then. They actually set the entrance to the robber cave in a tree hole. I wouldn't have discovered it unless you pointed it out!"
Zhu Wanlin smacked his lips and sighed, "Did those tomb robbers steal a lot of things from inside?"
"No."
Director Wu shook his head and said: "When the archaeological institute discovered this robbery cave, there was a van parked outside the robbery cave."
Zhu Wanlin was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses.
Since the pick-up van is still parked outside, it means... the group of people who went to the tomb did not come up at all! "Get ready, get ready to go to the tomb."
Director Wu tightened the zipper of the protective suit.
The group of people walked to the robbery cave and first used various detection equipment to detect the oxygen content and various indicators in the cave. After confirming that it was normal, they prepared to go to the tomb.
However, thinking about the rumors of tomb robbers mentioned by Director Wu just now, coupled with the various bizarre stories about the prince's tomb, these professional archaeological staff with professional backgrounds couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
On the way here, they were arguing over who should be the first to go to the tomb. This is the highest honor in the archaeological world. Everyone wants to be the "first person to go to the tomb", but at this moment, facing the mysterious and dark entrance of the cave, each of them has to go to the tomb.
They all fell silent.
Even the most courageous Tan Lin did not move.
"I'll go first."
Director Wu shook his head helplessly, took the lead in hanging the safety rope on the hook around his waist, and then descended little by little along the entrance of the cave. After a while, the sound of safety came from below.
Tan Lin and others regained their composure, brought their tool kits, and began to enter the robbery cave one after another.
Soon only Zhu Wanlin and Chu Ye were left outside the cave.
"Mr. Chu, how can you get in without a rope?"
Zhu Wanlin touched his head and couldn't help but wonder.
Chu Ye was too lazy to answer, and walked straight to the entrance of the Thief's Cave, without even looking at it, and jumped down.
