Chapter 409: 230 This is called Professional (Please subscribe! Vote for monthly ticket!)_2
Li He helplessly said, "I don’t know, I’m not a professional doctor, I’m a Corpse Handler. The treatments I usually use are for emergency medical treatment on zombies. You all insisted I treat him."
Li He isn’t a professional doctor.
His emergency treatment methods had been passed down from his ancestors for use on zombies.
On the road of handling corpses, accidents inevitably occur, causing damage to the bodies that need emergency care, etc.
Corpse Handlers possess a special secret technique that can heal bodies.
But it was indeed the first time he had used it on a living person.
When it was passed down from his ancestors, they didn’t mention how the secret technique would affect living people. It was also the first time Li He had used it.
Now the bleeding had stopped, and Professor Zhou was still alive.
But what would happen afterward, Li He had no idea.
Hearing Li He’s words, the members of the expedition team were speechless.
Professor Zhou said, "Xiaohuang, don’t blame Mr. Li. Mr. Li has already done his utmost by helping us. If it weren’t for Mr. Li’s emergency treatment, I would have probably died already. Now, we can only leave it to fate."
Professor Zhou was a reasonable person. Li He was the one he had sought for help.
His task was only to help explore the Ancient Tomb.
Not to be a doctor.
Being able to save his life at a critical moment was already more than enough.
How could he be picky?
Professor Zhou asked, "Mr. Li, Mr. Yun, did the message you both sent to the outside world get through? Do we have any rescue personnel?"
Now the most important thing for Professor Zhou was to know if the outside world was aware of their current situation.
If there was a rescue team coming to save them.
While they were above the abyss, the expedition team’s communication equipment could still normally communicate with the outside world.
But at this moment, everyone was trapped in the abyss, and the expedition team’s communication equipment was left outside.
It might have already been destroyed by the ferocious Nine-headed Monster.
With their technology, the expedition team could no longer contact the outside world.
They could only rely on the help of unique individuals like Li He.
They had secret techniques to contact the outside world.
It was just uncertain if it had been successful.
Li He said, "I’ve already sent a message to my son, and by now, the outside world must already be aware that we’re in trouble."
Mr. Yun also nodded, "I have also conveyed this message to my Tianyun Sect, and the sect has responded that a rescue team is already on its way to Yunnan for our rescue."
Professor Zhou nodded, "That’s good."
Being trapped deep within the Ancient Tomb wasn’t frightening.
The most terrifying thing was if the outside world didn’t know about it and no one came to rescue—that would be truly desperate.
The good news now was that the outside world had been informed about the internal need for a rescue.
They just needed to wait calmly.
...
Meanwhile, deep in the Yunnan mountains, a team of more than twenty people ventured deeper into the forest.
This team was the one Professor Cao and his colleagues were part of.
Leading the way were Bu Nu and Ada, two local hunters.
The group pressed on toward the direction Professor Cao and his colleagues aimed to go.
Hunter Bu Nu talked while walking, "Everyone, be careful as the mountain roads are tough to navigate. Our place in Yunnan is beautiful with clear mountains and waters. If you weren’t here for a mountain expedition, my brother and I could introducing you to our local delicacies like Crossing-the-Bridge Noodles, Flower Cakes, and Steam Pot Chicken, which are all excellent. But you folks had to venture into the forest."
People in Yunnan are very hospitable.
Bu Nu was right, though.
There were too many dangers in the deep mountains of Yunnan.
Even for them as hunters, who would go into the mountains if they weren’t compelled by life circumstances?
These outsiders, what were they thinking? Coming from far away, wouldn’t it be better to enjoy the local cuisine?
Instead, they had to penetrate deep into the forest.
To put it bluntly, it was like the elders were courting death.
Professor Cao said, "Young Bu Nu, you shouldn’t say that, we’ve come to Yunnan not for fun but for a mission. Here’s what we’ll do, once we’re safely back, I’ll personally treat you folks to a good meal, and then we can enjoy a few days of fun!"
The activities regarding the Ancient Tomb were still confidential and couldn’t be disclosed to outsiders.
Professor Cao was also promising only if they could return safely.
He would treat everyone, and they could all rest well.
But that was only if they could return safely.
With Professor Cao’s encouragement, the morale of the exploration team was significantly boosted.
Everyone was invigorated.
Their steps quickened.
After several hours of trekking, Bu Nu and Ada looked around and stopped.
Professor Cao asked, "What’s the matter, young Bu Nu? Is there an issue?"
Bu Nu said, "No, it’s just getting late. We’ve walked enough for today, and the remaining journey will take at least half a day, so let’s camp here tonight."
Hearing Bu Nu’s words, a young member of the exploration team said, "Setting up camp now? Isn’t it too early? It’s only just past four o’clock!"
The young people in the expedition team checked the time; it was just past four in the afternoon, and they were already setting up camp?
They could clearly walk a bit further.
This was stopping too soon; it was too inefficient.
Bu Nu said, "You don’t understand, the situation in the mountains is different from outside. If it were just the two of us going into the mountains, setting up camp at six o’clock wouldn’t be late. But with so many people, there’s more to prepare, and four o’clock is already late. Any later would be dangerous."
Bu Nu was an experienced hunter.
He knew the dangers in the mountains.
Especially when entering the mountains with a large number of people, it was easy to attract ferocious birds and beasts.
Therefore, many things needed to be prepared in advance.
In the mountains of Yunnan, it gets dark suddenly.
By seven o’clock, you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face.
Trying to set up camp then would be courting death.
Hearing Bu Nu’s words, Ada also nodded.
They were guides, so there was no need to deceive these outsiders.
Early camping was indeed necessary.
Professors Cao and Hao heard this and nodded in agreement.
Even though the rescue was urgent, their primary concern was their own safety; they had to ensure their safety before they could rescue anyone.
According to what Bu Nu and Ada said, they had walked half a day, and it would take another half a day to reach their destination.
That meant they could arrive by noon tomorrow.
That was acceptable.
Professor Cao nodded, and then everyone began setting up camp on the spot.
Bu Nu and Ada spread some snake repellent chemicals and urine around the campsite.
Bu Nu said these substances were almost essential for hunters.
There were many snakes in the mountains, including venomous ones.
Getting bitten by a venomous snake in the mountains was no joke.
Especially at night, spreading snake repellent around the campsite was very necessary.
As for the urine, it was tiger urine.
Old hunters in the mountains knew that the urine of lions or tigers sprinkled on their clothes could be smelled by other animals from a great distance, keeping them away!
And the urine wasn’t just randomly sprinkled, it had to be from a male, or it could attract trouble.
Female tiger urine would keep other animals far away, but attract a male tiger—that was courting death.
After taking preventive measures, Bu Nu and Ada went to collect branches, planning to light a fire in the middle of the campsite.
Nearly all animals in the mountains are afraid of fire.
Having a fire might prevent attacks from wild animals like wolves and leopards.
Of course, creating a fire was predicated on having enough people overnight.
Like in the case of Professors Cao and their current scenario, first, there were enough people.
Second, they had armed police accompanying them the whole way.
Facing predators like wolves and leopards wasn’t too frightening.
Under such circumstances, lighting a fire served both warming and deterrent purposes.
But if it were just Bu Nu and Ada going into the mountains to hunt and staying overnight.
They would definitely not make a fire.
With just two people, finding a hidden spot or staying in a tree would suffice.
Would two people even dare to light a fire?
That would be like letting all the animals in the mountain know where they were spending the night.
Lighting a fire with few people was seeking death.
It was different with many people.
Seeing Bu Nu and Ada going to collect firewood.
Professor Cao stopped them.
No need to gather firewood.
They had brought specialized charcoal when they came.
That was enough for spending the night in the mountains.
After Professor Cao finished speaking, a police officer unpacked a backpack.
The backpack contained charcoal and professional outdoor survival gear.
Soon a fire was lit.
Bu Nu and Ada were speechless.
These folks from the capital were really something else!
Look at their equipment,
Now that’s called professional!

Brothers, my mother has been hospitalized these past two days, suffering from late-stage cancer. I don’t want to talk much about it.
