The Informal Tomb Raiding Diary: She is the occupant of the tomb!-Chapter 214 - 215: Animal Mobilization

I received some animals’ ’thoughts’ and decided to rush out and give it a try. If it doesn’t work, I still have Karmic Fire; staying inside only means waiting for death.

The ’welders’ at this moment are also focused on defending against intruding animals. Wherever they shoot, there bursts a cloud of blood mist.

No matter how advanced the weapon, as long as it is used by humans, there will be times of fatigue. I can tell that the ’welders’ are trained professionals. They are surrounded by frenzied animals, some even charging into the camp, yet their movements remain orderly, systematically choosing where to shoot.

Captain Jack’s crew, taking advantage of the chaos, also attempted to escape. Their disorganized escape led to heavy casualties; some were hit by microwave guns, others fell into the sea of frenzied animals, and in a blink, their legs were stripped to the bone.

There were also those who ran blindly into the surveillance shooting zone; the strange birds only destroyed part of the surveillance, the rest stayed operational.

"Old Bi, you take the lead, I’ll cover the rear."

"Cover for me!" Bi Shi didn’t refuse, nor did she set conditions, only making a small request, then raised a flashlight she acquired from who knows where.

It wasn’t her first time raising a flashlight in the face of danger. Didn’t she have the chance to show her skills last time?

The girls He Su sent to ’invite’ her were holding guns, and she confronted them with a flashlight.

Only a sudden dinosaur monster appearance scared off that girl, avoiding conflict between them.

Now she’s holding a flashlight again, she’s about to showcase her special skill!

"Dao, take out that surveillance." Hanging at the breach where the animals broke through was a nearly falling camera; it had detached from its machine gun base, but the indicator light was still on. If Bi Shi showcased her skill, it might capture it.

Staying humble is my goal, instinctively I didn’t want Bi Shi, as one of my kin, to be too high-profile. Whether she wants to reveal her identity later is her problem.

Now, as we’re acting together, exposing her is equivalent to exposing me. At this moment, we need to use the ’ghostly’ moves of flyer experts to evade neighborhood surveillance.

Lu Xiaodao picked up a pebble from the ground, shattering the camera lens in one strike. The lens was only the size of a fingernail, six meters away from us, with insufficient nearby light sources. His ’dart’ ability was especially practical.

Bi Shi gave a low shout, "Close your eyes, charge!"

Before she finished speaking, a strong light burst. She rushed into the light first, with the team closely following her, charging forward with closed eyes.

At this moment, we trusted each other, and the team leader and the rest followed us without hesitation.

Closing eyes enhances terror, especially in such a situation, having them rush into a crowd of frenzied animals with closed eyes is like sending them to their deaths.

Yet they didn’t ask, simply following our instruction, broke through the warning line with great speed, reaching outside the breach.

The animals outside, previously surrounding the camp like a tide, moved towards the breach immediately after its appearance, intending to use the breach as a foothold to create a larger gap.

This, in turn, provided a convenience for our escape. If they hadn’t concentrated but remained scattered around the camp, we would’ve fallen into an endless sea of animals even once we broke through.

Now, we only need to choose a direction with the fewest animals, burning out a safe passage.

After Bi Shi finished casting Strong Light Technique, it was my turn to unleash Karmic Fire. I aimed at an area with fewer animals, using Karmic Fire to burn a gap.

Bi Shi, as the leader of the team, continually moved forward, even when I used Karmic Fire, she didn’t pause. The very second the Karmic Fire burned away the obstructing animals, her foot stepped on that spot.

Because of this, the team managed to escape the encirclement before the animals re-covered the gap.

As I stepped out of the encirclement, I heard gunfire from behind.

I abruptly turned back, seeing a ’welder’ inside the breach holding a microwave gun. He noticed our escape and fired a shot at me.

I did feel something hit my back, though it’s a gun, it doesn’t use bullets. What concerns me isn’t myself but the water ball on my back.

It had been clinging to me all along, and it was the true target of the shot.

"Water ball?" I cried out, trying to confirm its condition.

"Huh?" The water ball’s voice remained adorably dumb, merely emitting baby-like coos.

"Phew, as long as it’s fine." I quickly turned around and continued to run, closing the gap with the people ahead in a few strides.

The ’welder’ behind had no chance to fire a second shot, immediately swallowed by animals pouring into the breach, releasing a miserable howl.

No matter how cold, competent, and powerful they appeared ordinarily, at death’s door, they’re no different from the average person, shouting not a whit less than those timid crew members.

The monster birds above loomed like a black cloud, firmly covering the camp, and the drones shot down groups of monster birds, only to be besieged by even more crazed birds. They’d sooner have their wings broken than release their hold on a drone’s corner, dragging it down.

That unreliable Captain Jack said this was the safest season of the year on the island?!

I don’t buy it for a second, this old man is very deceitful...

Both sea and jungle have animals converging on the shipwreck, our only escape route now is to White Jade City, hiding in the secret room beneath the palace.

Chen Qinghan will find a chance to join us. He has the Mummy Driver and Undead Heart in hand; we can take refuge on the Shell Ship first.

"Look, there are no animals on that path." Bi Shi pointed at the path cleared by the white-clothed leaders.

Perhaps the white paint had an effect; not only did plants avoid growing over the path, but animals also shunned it.

In sight, shadows of trees were swaying, leaves trembled crazily, and the animals in the jungle continued heading to the ’frontline,’ including black monkeys with sharp teeth, colorful pythons, swarms of poisonous insects, crawling on the ground and flying in the sky, like representatives heading to a pest exhibition.

We few took refuge on the white stone path, glanced at each other, and having found no one injured, breathed a partial sigh of relief.

"Let’s go, Shield’s people will also break through; we have to reach White Jade City ahead of them." I nodded towards Bi Shi, signaling her to lead the way forward.

The leader and Guan Hai, carrying Cong Zhibo and Zhou, did not inquire about the earlier flash of strong light, solely focused on reaching safety quickly, perhaps not fully processing yet.

Bi Shi carried He Su, walking at the forefront with the flashlight, while I carried the water ball. I felt it over, finding no holes or wounds, easing my concern.

The white-clothed leaders deployed combat robots, but before I left, I glanced at them. The combat robots, though fierce, had gaps at their joints into which swarms of ants poured like liquid. Its shell was immensely sturdy, but the internal circuitry wasn’t as solid. By the ants’ acid corrosion, it would soon short out.
