The Informal Tomb Raiding Diary: She is the occupant of the tomb!-Chapter 309 - 270: Suggest Changing Jobs

There’s something I wanted to say but didn’t, I think the one truly being used is Zhaosi. Whether the virus spread by the stone can be controlled is still unknown. If it gets out of control, millions will suffer.

Talking sense with Zhaosi is a waste of time. I feigned compromise and nodded, "Alright, as long as you’re confident."

"Next, I will expose my whereabouts, no longer using ancient trees to hide my presence, drawing in those prone to indulge in delusions."

"Do you know the transmission method and treatment for the pyramid virus? Don’t catch it yourself."

"Strictly speaking, what’s bringing disaster to Sun City isn’t a virus in the traditional sense, but a ray that causes mutation in biological cells and genes. This ray isn’t found on Earth; they recently dug a meteorite from deep underground, and by breaking its isolating shell, the crystal stone inside releases this ray. They use a pyramid-shaped container to significantly enhance its effect."

"Did the stone tell you all this?"

"There are all kinds of intelligent life forms in the universe, as you should be well aware."

I suddenly remembered a few decades ago, a Tomb Robber sang a song in my tomb, and I only remembered one line: ’There’s a beautiful legend, a perfect stone that can sing.’

Of course, life’s forms vary widely, but overall, they can be classified into three categories: beneficial, harmful, and ineffectual.

Some life forms are inherently extremely dangerous; if they possess intelligence and ambition, it becomes a huge disaster for other life forms.

Imagine thirty years ago, the smallpox virus smiled faintly, realizing that humanity wanted to research vaccines to eradicate its species, so it went into hiding, growing secretly, breaking through, mutating and upgrading, just waiting for the day to retaliate and completely eradicate humanity.

The smallpox virus humanity declared utterly eliminated might have just been its kamikaze squad, and its so-called disappearance could be just a shift from overt to covert, lying low to rest and recuperate...

"Is the outcome irreversible?" I quickly gathered my thoughts, seeking more information.

"Yes, but it’s limited by distance; you have to touch it for it to work, or drink the water it’s radiated."

Zhaosi looked towards the green door and said, "That’s Sun City’s water plant. They’ve placed the crystal stone on the water source, and all the city’s residents have drunk radiated water."

"WHAT? They have their own extermination plan?"

"On the contrary, they found that the crystal stone’s rays are beneficial to the body; it not only boosts immunity but has cured many diseases."

"I see, it’s the crystal stone’s disguise. It first pretends to be a good doctor, and once everyone is radiated, it reveals its deadly nature."

I suspect the Fei Clan never expected that the stone they picked up had its own agenda, and quite an ambitious one.

Since it can disguise itself once, it can do so twice. If Zhaosi doesn’t have a way to control it, he might get bitten back.

"I know what you’re worried about; as long as I don’t touch it or consume its radiated food, it can’t affect me."

"Touch, food, these are all what it told you, you don’t know what it’s hiding."

"Without weapons, I have no choice but to take the risk."

"Didn’t I already promise to help you retrieve weapons? Why the rush?"

Having lived hundreds of years underground, I don’t understand her hurry. Could she already be beguiled by the stone?

Zhaosi brushed her bangs aside, her smile was more of a wry smile.

"Because they are already here."

"Who? You mean..."

"When I went to get the car, I heard them coming down, they’ll search the ancient tomb and then find us here."

"What are you afraid of, now that you have me, there’s no need to rely on unknown forces, that’s uncontrollable."

"Are you sure you’ve recovered?"

"Oh, questioning my abilities? I never falter at crucial moments."

Zhaosi rolled her eyes disdainfully. After pondering for a moment, she nodded and said, "Alright, first battle of the Five Heavenly Girls, let’s see how you perform."

I patted the big white worm’s head, it curled into a ball again, seemingly very downcast.

"There she is!" A voice suddenly came from the depths of the passage, followed by sudden bright light, and a group of people started running over.

The two people in the front were holding bazookas, if I’m not mistaken, those are used to destroy tanks. How did they bring such things into the park?

My mind formed only half a question mark before my feet started moving. Zhaosi’s reaction was in sync with mine; she mounted the electric bike swiftly, racing out of the passage with the big white worm. My scooter wasn’t around, so I could only run out on foot.
