The Lost Tomb : Sea Of Sands

Chapter 105: Scam

Black Glasses showed a route on Liang Wan's floor plans.

"I didn't get that far, but in my experience, this route should be safer."

"You must have some basis for this judgment." Liang Wan said.

"Based on some traces you can't see in the dark." Black Glasses said. "The details of the world I see are very different from yours. Moreover, there are four rooms like this on the path, which shows that at that time, this was the only route where people could rest and recuperate. If they wanted to take some closed protective or isolation measures, this would be the only path."

Liang Wan nodded in acquiescence, and Black Glasses pointed to the core area. "The outer wall of this tomb must have been opened. There should be various ropes and some simple stairs leading all the way down. Follow the stairs, and don't try to go another way or touch anything."

Liang Wan nodded, "How do you know Li Cu's in the tomb? Although this historic site isn't large, it's very deep. Don't you know the exact location?"

Black Glasses said: "Follow the blood, he must have serious injuries."

After that, Black Glasses took out a spray bottle from his bag: "This is a powder spray. The plant really hates this stone a lot."

"How much do you know about this strange plant?"

"It's a bit complex. In fact, we're not dealing with a plant." Black Glasses said. "But there's no chance to cut open the trunk to see what's inside, so I don't know what it is exactly. It coexists with a kind of beetle that can't digest its prey, but the beetles are very deadly." He took out a test tube from his bag: "This is a kind of serum that can repel the beetles when it's opened, but the effect is very mild. After coming into contact with oxygen, the serum will oxidize quickly, so use it carefully."

Liang Wan looked at the test tube and saw that there was very little liquid in it. She looked at Black Glasses: "You must have that kind of bug in your body. Can't you use the serum yourself?"

Black Glasses said: "It's not enough for three people. I can only guarantee that the beetles won't climb on me, but that won't protect you all, or even take care of the rest of my body."

"But you're dying." Liang Wan said. "The serum should be used internally. You can use it to save your life. Why did you only bring one if it's such an important thing?"

"Ah, the raw materials were very scarce." Black Glasses said. "I promised someone else I'd do this, so it's more valuable to you."

Liang Wan sighed, tidied up her backpack, and then said, "Aren't you afraid I'll take these things and run away?"

"It's human nature." Black Glasses leaned against the wall and looked at his hands. "You should run away."

Liang Wan found an empty syringe from Su Wan's backpack, drew water from her canteen, cleaned it a little, opened the test tube, and then injected the water into it.

"It's already in a diluted state. Injecting it with water will only make you feel better mentally, but the effect won't increase." Black Glasses said.

Liang Wan sucked the serum into the syringe, pressed out the air, grabbed Black Glasses' hand, and injected it.

Black Glasses was stunned for a moment. Liang Wan's movements were very skilled, and the serum had already been injected before he could do anything. She put the syringe back into her backpack and said. "Su Wan used the needle before, so you better hope he doesn't have gonorrhea, syphilis, or AIDS. But these diseases take time, so you'll still be able to make some money in the end."

Black Glasses looked at his hand. "This stuff is very precious. Without this serum, you probably won't be able to make it back."

Liang Wan retorted, "I'm a doctor first, and a woman who's confused about her fate and past second. I know what I should do better than you, who have been thieves from start to finish." She put on her backpack, turned on her flashlight, counted her glow sticks, pushed the door open, and then went out, "Handle the wounds yourself after it starts working. I'll help you clean up the mess."

Black Glasses took off his glasses and said, "Wow. None of them are obedient."

He stood up and took off his coat as the serum immediately started to work. The bugs under his skin hadn't yet entered his muscles, and began to burst through his skin. He took out his lighter, yanked out his black knife, turned the handle, and then pulled, revealing a small knife.

The knife was also black, and he sterilized it with the lighter, but the sharp pain all over his body made him tremble.

He stumbled to Su Wan's side, lifted him up, and tried to push him into the bathing pool, but quickly saw that Su Wan was looking at him.

"Son of a bitch, you should've said something if you were awake."

"Why did you lie to that woman?" Su Wan asked. "Pear clearly isn't there. We saw him fall, but you tricked her into going in. Don't you feel guilty? What's your purpose?"

Black Glasses fell to the ground and laughed. "Do you think we're the only ones messing around here?"

Su Wan got up with a lot of difficulty. "What do you mean?"

Black Glasses pointed to his watch: "How long has it been?"

"More than a day." Su Wan said.

Black Glasses handed him the knife: "It will become more and more lively around here. This is only the beginning. Come here and help me dig out all these bugs."

Su Wan took the knife, looked at Black Glasses, and realized what he wanted him to do: "How am I supposed to dig them out?"

"Press the knife with your hand and dig them out directly when you touch something hard."

"If a bug like this dies in your body, it'll be absorbed. Don't worry about them. They'll crawl for a bit and then die." Su Wan said.

"Don't worry, my ass. I can assure you that the bugs won't be absorbed. They have to be dug out." Black Glasses said: "Give me a cigarette and hurry up."

Liang Wan started to move along the map route in the dark, feeling like she was no longer afraid of this place. She didn't know why, but maybe it was because Black Glasses suddenly appeared and started singing, making this place seem absurd.

Up to this point, she wasn't willing to understand the many things she couldn't comprehend, and thought it was better to follow along with whatever the insiders said. If you can survive, you can always find a reasonable explanation.

The backpack was very heavy, and soon made her feel a little tired. It was clear that men were never meticulous when choosing what things to bring along.

The cement tunnels here were very clean, with no black asphalt, or other things covering the cement. There also weren't any signs, potholes, or exposed wires.

In the past, such a place would have appeared eerie, but now it gave off a sense of security.

Since her fever hadn't subsided, and she became even dizzier, she squatted down with her head between her knees and took a deep breath to recover herself.

When she had worked overtime in the past, she had a way of preventing herself from feeling tired and feverish during working hours, but now she couldn't do it. When all was said and done, this kind of fucking situation couldn't compare.

Technically, she also didn't want that brat Li Cu to die, since he was still very interesting. But she was a doctor, after all, so her attitude towards death was different from others.

In the silence, she suddenly heard some strange noises.

She looked up and heard a familiar sound coming from the direction she was heading in.

It was a phone ringing.

Must be hallucinating, she lowered her head and continued to rest.
