Chapter 801

As for the first archaeological team, apart from Sun Wu and the few who had died at the hands of the sea monkeys, the rest who swam up must have maintained a very sound organizational structure.

Moreover, Sun Wu's actions were entirely a matter of his own choosing; the three of them, Wu Tianzhen and the others, could be considered to have successfully completed this mission.

The authorities also breathed a simultaneous sigh of relief.

But the next moment, they all became curious about the changes in Lou Wan.

They decided that the very first thing they would do once they swam up was to contact Wu Tianzhen and have Zhang Tianshi confirm the situation. If Lou Wan had truly been inadvertently affected by the Corpse Beetle Pill as they suspected,

then for the authorities, it would be a joy of recovering something lost.

After all, they had previously identified Sun Wu as an experimental subject, and now this young girl, Lou Wan, could also be transformed into such an experimental subject in a roundabout way.

To attain eternal life, some people must pay a price and make certain sacrifices.

It was just that they would not be as harsh with Lou Wan as they were with Sun Wu.

Regarding Lou Wan, they would relatively preserve some of her autonomy; as long as she provided the corresponding cooperation, even providing a few hundred milliliters of blood would be acceptable to them.

No one on the first archaeological team was thinking about these things; instead, they were using every ounce of their strength, gritting their teeth as they swam upward, with the oxygen from the dried corpse as a prerequisite.

They were even more diligent this time, because no one wanted to frequently inhale those things. Some disgust could be adapted to, but some disgust came from a dual blow to both the mind and the body.

Under such circumstances, wanting to adapt was not that simple.

A dozen minutes later, these people swam up, and everyone was gasping for air.

And after only a few gasps, they all floated on the ground and began to vomit violently.

Even Wang Pangzi and Wu Tianzhen could not help but retch a few times, because recalling that scene was truly enough to make one feel intensely uncomfortable.

Many people even developed psychological trauma this time, judging by the emotions of apparent fear but actual lingering dread transmitted from their eyes.

One could imagine that they might never go tomb-raiding again in the future, and might even keep their distance from the archaeological profession altogether.

Some people had walked the wrong path from the very beginning; they were neither Wu Tianzhen nor Wang Pangzi, and lacked such strong psychological resilience to believe that archaeology was a fun thing.

And this time, all the reality precisely confirmed just how naive their thoughts were; archaeology was not only not a fun thing, but was instead accompanied by intense crises!

At any time and any place in this tomb, it could cost them their lives.

Zhang Tianshi did not act like the others; instead, he walked slowly toward Lou Wan.

At this moment, Lou Wan was not retching, nor was she gasping violently; instead, her eyes were filled with confusion, and she subconsciously looked at her own hands and touched her face.

She even had the immediate urge to take a knife and cut off her own fingers to see if such hair had grown inside her body as well.

If that were truly the case, she felt at this moment that being alive was not a good thing.

Zhang Tianshi walked over, and the other two followed behind him, arriving simultaneously in front of Lou Wan.

At this moment, it was Lou Wan who took the initiative to raise a question; she looked at Zhang Tianshi with eyes full of longing, hoping he would provide an answer.
