Chapter 137 - Something Dirty
Chapter 137: Something Dirty
However, Zhuang Sen was the only one who raised his hand. Everyone else looked at him silently.
The Luo siblings still had cold looks on their faces, as if nothing had anything to do with them. Fatty looked conflicted, while Hu Min lowered her head. No one knew what she was thinking about. Even Yun Qin, who had her face covered, did not seem willing to leave.
Only then did Zhuang Sen become anxious. He scolded, “Aren’t you all afraid of death? Are you willing to give up your lives for money?”
Fatty quickly tried to persuade him, “Calm down, bro. If we can enter the tomb earlier than the Qin family, wouldn’t all the treasures be ours? There’s no need to be so alarmed. It won’t take much effort to take a detour.”
“That’s right, Zhuang Sen. We came here fully prepared this time. If we leave now, wouldn’t it be a waste of time?” Hu Min also tried to persuade him.
Zhuang Sen’s face alternated between green and white as if he was very angry and helpless at the two people’s unsupportive behavior.
Seeing this, Ma Yue walked over. He softened his tone and advised, “Bro, to be honest, who doesn’t need to take a little risk if they want to make a fortune from this huge tomb? You know that if someone enters the tomb before us, then they can help us eliminate a lot of the traps. This is using risk in exchange for risk. We’ll be fine if we keep an eye out. How can a person be more dangerous than a zombie?”
After saying that, Ma Yue looked at everyone and added, “Of course, if you want to leave, you can leave. I won’t stop you. However, this car is mine. You have to find your own way back.”
Under the awkward atmosphere, seeing that his companions were not willing to leave, Zhuang Sen kicked a rock away dejectedly. He gritted his teeth and said, “Fine since you are not afraid of death, I will go with you.”
Finally reaching a consensus within the team, Ma Yue’s expression eased up a lot. He divided the supplies and equipment and then hid the cars in a secure location. Finally, he took out a piece of paper and looked at it.
Fatty was curious so he took a look and exclaimed, “Whoa, this is good stuff. Captain Ma, you have a map?”
Ma Yue smiled and patted the piece of paper and said, “I bought it for $30,000. It’s the experience of our predecessors.”
After saying that, he stuck his head out and called out, “Come, everyone, come and take a look at the route. We will set off in a bit.”
Other than Zhuang Sen who was still sulking at the side, everyone else came over and formed a circle. Ma Yue then pointed at the map and said, “Initially, we wanted to take this route to enter, right?”
Fatty replied, “That’s right. When I saw the terrain here at Black Bear Ridge, I knew that there must be an entrance here.”
“Yes, but the Qin family took the lead and went in first. We’re not going to get much if we follow behind them, so we’ll change our route.”
Ma Yue changed the direction of the map and pointed. “Here, there is a hidden small room. If we enter from here, we can directly enter the big tomb.”
“This…” Fatty took the map and studied it for a long time. He said in surprise, “Ah, it’s true. This terrain has the formation of a dragon cave. Maybe there is another small room attached to the tomb.”
Holding the map, he ran to Zhuang Sen, who was sitting at the side, and said, “Hey, bro, take a look. There is a secondary tomb here!”
Zhuang Sen took the map and looked at it. The more he looked at it, the more surprised he was. He said, “Yes, it’s very likely. If we go this way…”
“If we go this way, there is an entrance. We can get the treasure before the Qin family,” Ma Yue added.
After deciding on the route, the group set off and followed the route on the map to the secondary tomb.
Zhuang Sen, who was holding the compass, led the way. Hu Min followed behind him. Behind them were the silent Luo siblings, and Yun Qin followed behind them. Fatty and Ma Yue were at the rear.
Yun Qin picked up a tree branch to use as a crutch. She overheard Fatty talking to Ma Yue, so she slowed down quietly and listened attentively.
Fatty fiddled with the compass a few times to make sure that it was still working. He turned his head and asked, “Captain Ma, who did you buy this map from? Since you knew that there was a secondary tomb, why didn’t you go in when you were here yesterday?”
Ma Yue replied, “They encountered something dirty in the forest outside, and more than half of them died. They escaped before they could go in.”
“Something dirty? Was it a zombie or something?”
Ma Yue looked at Yun Qin’s back and said, “It was a ghost. When it comes to killing people, ghosts are harder to deal with than zombies.”
“Oh, I’ve never seen a ghost before. They really exist?” Fatty said in surprise.
“Well, isn’t the woman in front of you the one Hu Min invited to catch ghosts? I just don’t know how capable she is,” Ma Yue pointed at Yun Qin in front and said.
Fatty scratched his head and looked at Yun Qin’s back, muttering, “This person doesn’t look like a Taoist priest. No matter what, aren’t they usually old men? She’s so young, and she’s a woman. She might be a dabbler, right?”
