Hearing Professor Sun's mournful cry, the entire office was moved!
“Teacher……”
Zhang Bo Yu had only seen a photo of Professor Sun, but never met him in person. Now, hearing his cry, Zhang Bo Yu was also deeply shaken.
Looking at the seven archaeological workers, their faces were bloodless, their eyes hollow, just sockets, his heart ached.
They were his archaeological comrades, his respected archaeological seniors!
Now, they had become walking corpses, like zombies, walking in this ancient tomb!
Even though Zhang Bo Yu didn't know them, a strong sense of sadness welled up in his heart.
As for Professor Sun, there was no need to say.
He watched the live feed, his body trembling slightly, his heart consumed by pain, even his lips trembled.
Captain Xing saw this and couldn't help but sigh. He said, “Professor Sun, please accept my condolences.”
Looking at those walking corpse-like archaeological team members, Captain Xing's heart was filled with respect.
He used to think that those who worked in his line of work were respected, as they faced life-threatening dangers at any moment, contributing greatly to the stability of the nation.
However, as he learned more about archaeology, he came to understand that they weren't the only ones carrying a heavy burden.
Many others contributed to the development of the country.
While archaeology is often misunderstood, it's also incredibly dangerous.
Like the archaeological team twenty-five years ago, one misstep and they were completely wiped out, with zero survival rate!
And those experiences Professor Sun had mentioned, at the Taihang Mountains' Accumulated Corpse Site, only he and Zhang Bo Yu came back alive, the other twenty team members were forever lost there.
The biggest danger in an ancient tomb is uncertainty.
Not everyone is Zhang Lin, able to calmly handle any crisis.
Archaeological team members are simply ordinary people with some related knowledge. They're essentially no different from ordinary people.
This is why many archaeological teams, when descending into tombs, need soldiers to protect them.
Soon, Professor Sun regained his composure.
He said, "Including these seven team members, we can now confirm that all of the archaeological team members who entered the Warring States tomb that year were killed!"
Professor Sun was in pain, but he didn't show it.
Before, this archaeological team had only gone missing. Professor Sun had held onto a glimmer of hope, thinking that Professor Chen and the others were just lost.
Perhaps there was still a chance for a miracle.
But as the remains of these archaeological team members appeared one by one, Professor Sun's last hope was shattered.
His heart naturally ached.
Captain Xing frowned and said, “What exactly did they go through? Why did they become like this? And after five years, their bodies haven't shown any signs of decay. It's strange.”
Professor Sun's brow furrowed.
This was also something that puzzled him.
Normally, Dilireba's current time is 2003, five years after the archaeological team went missing.
Five years, without any special treatment, the bodies would have definitely decayed.
But now, these archaeological team members' bodies are intact, without any signs of decay!
Very strange.
Zhang Bo Yu suddenly said, "Teacher, look at their hair. It's strange!"
At this moment, the archaeological team members had slowly passed by Dilireba and the others, and Professor Sun and the others finally saw the team members' true condition.
They saw that the archaeological team members' hair, though black, was clearly much thicker and was swaying slightly, looking like tentacles!
This was unsettling to see.
“Their hair… how is it moving! It’s like tentacles with life, so terrifying!”
Captain Xing exclaimed in shock.
Professor Sun thought for a moment and said, “I think they’ve been parasitized by some kind of creature. This could also be why their bodies haven’t decayed for so long. Maybe… they’re still alive!”
Zhang Bo Yu was slightly encouraged, "Teacher, do you mean Professor Chen and the others might still be saved?"
“……”
Professor Sun remained silent for a moment, his expression somewhat complicated. He said, "Maybe."
He obviously thought it was unlikely, but he held onto a sliver of hope.
Some viewers in the live chat also noticed this.
“Damn! Those archaeologists’ hair is so weird, it’s all moving!”
“It’s true! It’s like a lot of tentacles, swaying constantly. Did they mutate?”
“My scalp is tingling, I feel like my own hair is moving!”
“Damn, scared me, I quickly touched my own hair.”
“What happened to them?”
Fans in the live chat were buzzing with speculation, finding this scene too bizarre.
It was already eerie, but now it was giving everyone goosebumps.
【User Lin Zhi Yu sent a Super Rocket and commented: This is the Corpse Immortal Worm, a parasitic worm that lives in corpses. Because it allows the human body to never decay after it parasitizes it, it’s like immortality, so it’s called the Corpse Immortal Worm. Corpses parasitized by the Corpse Immortal Worm will undergo a zombie-like mutation. When they encounter living things, they will attack. If you’re bitten, you will also be parasitized by the Corpse Immortal Worm and die from organ failure!】
This Super Rocket landed, and this bullet comment was immediately pinned to the top.
Everyone saw it.
Everyone was speculating about the truth of what Lin Zhi Yu said.
However, some people recognized Lin Zhi Yu!
They quickly went to Lin Zhi Yu's profile and looked at the verification, their faces changing drastically!
The director of the National Biological Research Institute, Lin Zhi Yu!
“Who is this person? Is what he said credible?”
“Whoa! This wouldn’t be the incredibly awesome director of the National Biological Research Institute, Director Lin, would it?”
“It’s him! I just checked his profile, official verification, he’s Director Lin!”
“Damn! This big shot is here? Even he’s watching Reba’s live stream?”
“What honors does he have? Please enlighten me!”
“Lin Zhi Yu, head of the National Biological Research, director of the Biological Research Institute, received the highest biological award, the Albert Lasker Award for Basic Medical Research, in his 30s. He now specializes in rare creatures. What he says must be true!”
“Whoa! So awesome!”
Lin Zhi Yu's appearance instantly caused a huge stir.
They never imagined that Lin Zhi Yu would actually be in the live chat!
