The Informal Tomb Raiding Diary: She is the occupant of the tomb!-Chapter 139: Breaking the Rules

In this world, there’s no shortage of suffering people; each has their own fate.

Professor Liu was very sympathetic to Lu Xiaodao’s situation, but he did not accept his request.

In his words, what people fear most is the lack of a will to survive.

If Professor Liu agreed to help him deliver this life-saving money, Lu Xiaodao would also be at ease.

I smacked my lips, thinking that Lu Xiaodao really understood human nature. Professor Liu had a soft heart, and although he didn’t agree to his request, if Lu Xiaodao really died, how could Professor Liu ignore that bank card?

He would still take the card to save Lu Xiaodao’s sister. Good people say tough things, but their hearts are soft, and their actions are kind.

The problem is that Professor Liu was also prepared to sacrifice himself. He suddenly mentioned Lu Xiaodao’s sister to me and Qinghan, surely he wasn’t expecting us to...

"If anything happens to us, please help him fulfill his wish," Professor Liu said as he pulled out a laminated bank card from Lu Xiaodao’s pocket.

"The password is the bank’s initial password."

"Okay, no problem." I reached out, took the bank card, tucked it directly into my inner pocket, and zipped it up for security.

My straightforwardness made Professor Liu pause slightly, his brow furrowed a little, clearly a bit shocked.

"Hmm, she’s someone whose eyes light up at the sight of money," Qinghan vouched for me from the side.

Professor Liu seemed anxious: "This is his sister’s life-saving money, I hope you both don’t take it lightly, if..."

Seeing that he wanted to backtrack, I waved my hand: "Once it’s in my pocket, taking it back won’t be so easy. This is his sister’s life-saving money, not mine, haha~" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Hmm, she’s a cold and ruthless person," Qinghan echoed emotionlessly like a machine.

Professor Liu was at a loss for a moment, while Lu Xiaodao lay as if dead, and he couldn’t beat us. With the bank card and password handed over, the only way to take them back was...

"If you two survive, there’s a chance to get the money back. If you both die, then sorry, the money’s mine." I shrugged, indicating I was helpless too. After speaking, I dropped the playful expression and said coldly, "I mean what I say."

Professor Liu let out a heavy sigh, now regretting and blaming himself was useless.

By the standard approach, I should have resolutely refused to take the card and persuaded him to live strongly. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, don’t give up easily.

But I’m a rebellious person, I don’t go by the book. They wanted peace of mind, but I refused to let them have it.

Handle your own affairs, save your own family. Dying is easy, living is hard, there’s no slacking off.

After crossing the third danger zone, Professor Liu suddenly said thank you. After we separated from the main group, we passed through four danger zones in two days. It seemed like his reaction time was a bit long.

Of course, I said no need to thank me, serving the people is what I do.

On the third morning, we stepped into a ’Shiwaipotan’.

Here, the trees don’t eat people, the animals aren’t disguised, there are clear rivers and non-toxic wildflowers.

There are birds flying over to peck at food, and wild fruits that don’t cause instant death.

"Oh, there’s a rabbit without sharp teeth!"

"Ah, there’s a flock of non-bloodsucking birds!"

As soon as I entered this area, I exclaimed continuously. Qinghan couldn’t take it anymore, "Are you a kindergarten kid?"

"Just easing the tense atmosphere~ No need for such a deathly silence, alright?" Along the way, Qinghan was always on high alert, her nerves stretched too tight. Professor Liu was dizzy and nearly faint from exhaustion. I just wanted to lighten the mood.

Since Professor Liu’s strength was about to be exhausted, the job of carrying the ’corpse’ fell to me. I was shorter than Lu Xiaodao, and his body wouldn’t bend, so I had to tie him with a rope and carry him horizontally on my back like a backpack.

This maneuver had to be done by me; no one else’s shoulders could bear it.

I ran across the open grass with Lu Xiaodao on my back, recalling the art films I had seen, where a little girl ran joyfully through a beautiful forest towards the sunlight, wearing a floral dress with a cute doll on her back.

"Put... me... down..."

I spun and leapt through the wildflowers to the riverbank, then the ’doll’ made a deep, restrained voice.

"Hmm?" I paused, realizing it was Lu Xiaodao’s voice.

"Put... me... down." He seemed to be enduring something; his voice sounded strange.

I loosened the strap and laid him on the ground, and he immediately crawled to the riverbank and vomited loudly.

Fortunately, the river washed away his vomit and allowed him to rinse his mouth.

The river water here was clean and safe; Professor Liu had checked it when we first entered, and he had drunk from it himself.

Seeing Lu Xiaodao awake, Qinghan and Professor Liu quickly ran over. Professor Liu looked delighted, while Qinghan stepped forward to check his pulse.

"Everything’s normal." After a while, Qinghan retracted her hand and said.

Professor Liu held Lu Xiaodao’s shoulder, extremely emotional, almost in tears.

Lu Xiaodao’s safe awakening meant that the antidote he made himself worked.

I figured part of Professor Liu’s excitement was due to this.

Awakening Lu Xiaodao was somewhat weak; he endured three days of paralyzation without eating anything, with Professor Liu drip-feeding him water with grass leaves each day.

We decided to rest by the river, Qinghan caught the rabbit I had pointed out, cleaned it by the river, and started a fire to roast it.

This area’s natural environment was what we’re familiar with, with no oddly-shaped plants or animals with fierce looks.

At least the rabbit’s stomach only contained grass, no remains of other animals.

I picked a basket of wild fruits with my handmade basket. The wild fruits had big pits, little flesh, and tasted a bit sour, but they were a thirst-quenching Divine Artifact.

After resting, Qinghan continued to dig the ground. The stone path didn’t end here, and according to the diary, this place wasn’t the center of the island.

He roughly judged the direction of the underground stone path, but generally, it takes us a day to walk around a circular area.

Now that Lu Xiaodao just woke up, we couldn’t possibly continue on immediately, so Qinghan came back to the river to rest too.

"Professor Liu, is this place really safe?" I asked, looking at the peaceful surroundings, often things that appear abnormal hide greater threats behind them.

The jungle was full of danger, and such a normal area appeared suddenly, and it wasn’t the endpoint, that was the abnormality.

"There’s no mention of a place like this in the diary," Professor Liu seemed full of doubts as well.

"That’s strange. We followed the stone path all the way here, along the direction it led us."

"Yes, my friend’s team used the same method to determine the route."

"Same route, same scenery, how could it be different..."

"Was there a fork?" Lu Xiaodao, who usually spoke little, suddenly said.

"Hmm? Ah~ that’s possible!" I slapped my thigh, a flash of inspiration in my mind, "Do you think the place where they disappeared could be a fork, like a train track switching?"
