Half an hour later.
There was still no movement in the tomb.
Zhao Dong finally could not stand it anymore. The current situation was clearly out of his control.
"Researcher Chen, how long can a person stay in an ancient tomb like Gao Ling that has never been opened?”
Zhao Dong looked at an old man with glasses beside him and asked.
Chen Jiahong, a researcher at the City Institute of Archeology, had led several teams to study Cao Cao's tomb.
This time, when he heard that someone had actually live-streamed the tomb on the Internet platform and successfully entered Cao Cao's tomb, Chen Jiahong's mood suddenly became extremely anxious.
He couldn't even wait for one night and rushed to Gao Ling with a few students from the research institute.
He was afraid that the tomb thieves would cause serious damage to Gao Ling.
"I've studied Gao Ling many times before, and it's basically not damaged. In other words, there isn't much air in the tomb, and a person can only stay for two to three hours at most.”
"Beyond this point, the air in the tomb is basically exhausted. Unless you carry an oxygen tank with you, you will definitely suffocate in the tomb.”
Chen Jiahong said with certainty.
"Two to three hours?"
Hearing Chen Jiahong's words, Zhao Dong's face darkened.
Su Bai had been in the tomb since 5:30 p. m. It was almost 9:00 p. m. and he hadn't appeared yet.
Something must have gone wrong!
"Captain Zhao, is it possible that the kid knew that we were waiting outside to catch him? He couldn't come out of the tomb, and he fainted from exhaustion or even died?”
Li Xiao guessed.
"I can't rule out this possibility, but I have a feeling that with that kid's knowledge of tombs, he definitely won't sit still and wait for death.”
Zhao Dong shook his head.
"Based on my deduction, I think that the kid has found another way out.”
"Captain Zhao, the possibility of this is not high, right?”
Chen Jiahong found it hard to believe.
"I have studied Gao Ling many times. This is a hilly area. It is not impossible to dig out a tunnel leading to the outside world from such a soil layer, but it would require at least a group of three to five tomb thieves and take at least two days.”
"Researcher Chen, what you said must have some basis, but the fact is that he has been in the tomb for more than four hours, far more than the two or three hours you said. The longer we delay, the more passive our situation will be.”
"Also, Researcher Chen, you must remember that he took away several national treasures.”
Zhao Dong said with a gloomy face.
"Captain Zhao, what do you mean?"
After hearing Zhao Dong's words, Chen Jiahong hesitated.
What Zhao Dong said was not without reason.
"Let's go to the tomb!"
Zhao Dong said without hesitation.
"Tomb?"
Chen Jiahong was stunned.
Disbelief was written all over his old face, and then it turned into excitement.
"No, Gao Ling is a national first-class cultural relic protection unit. Without the approval of the National Bureau of Archeology and the Provincial Institute of Archeology, none of us can easily enter the tomb.”
"If we don't go in, what about our arrest operation? What about those national treasures? If he really takes them away, how much damage will it cause? Have you considered it? Or is it that you, Researcher Chen, can take responsibility for such a big incident?”
Zhao Dong's attitude was extremely unyielding.
He was more anxious than anyone else.
During this half an hour, he felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
The leaders of the provincial office and the security team were still waiting for his news.
If anything happened, Zhao Dong knew very well what kind of punishment he would face when he returned.
When he came, he had personally promised the leader of the provincial security team that there would be no problems and that the tomb thieves would be brought to justice.
"But…"
Zhao Dong's series of questions were like a mountain pressing down on Chen Jiahong's head, making him almost suffocate.
"There are no buts. Researcher Chen, call the National Institute of Archeology and the provincial research institute now. It's urgent now and we can't delay any longer.”
Zhao Dong's face was as dark as water.
Staring at Gao Ling, those eagle-like eyes seemed to be able to see Su Bai in the tomb through the thick earth.
"Alright, I'll make the call now."
Chen Jiahong seemed to be intimidated by Zhao Dong's unyielding aura.
After thinking for a while, he finally chose to compromise.
He had to make this call today.
As long as there was a one in ten thousand chance that the national treasure was stolen, it would cause immeasurable losses to Gu Da.
"Continue to guard your positions.”
While Chen Jiahong was on the phone, Zhao Dong rearranged the arrest and defense arrangements. At the same time, he took out three elite officers from the security team.
Zhao Dong planned to let them follow him into the tomb later.
After all, there were all kinds of dangers in the tomb, and he was responsible for the safety of the archaeologists.
About ten minutes later, Chen Jiahong called back.
"How is it?"
Seeing this, Zhao Dong quickly went up and asked.
"The Institute of Archeology has already approved that we can enter the tomb.”
"Good!"
Hearing this, Zhao Dong was instantly excited. He could not help but clap his hands.
"Researcher Chen, quickly send someone down. I've also selected three team members to protect your safety.”
"Alright."
Although Chen Jiahong was inflexible and inflexible, he understood the seriousness of this matter.
Therefore, it only took a few minutes for his team to be ready.
"Follow the route of the tomb thief and enter from the cave at the back of the mountain.”
Chen Jiahong had also seen the tunnel that Su Bai had found on the back mountain. It was the escape route of the tomb builders from the main chamber.
At the same time, it was also the best choice for them to enter the tomb.
"Sure."
Zhao Dong nodded.
He turned around and gave a few instructions to his three teammates.
It was mainly because Su Bai had encountered too many unexplainable things in the tomb when he was watching the live broadcast. Zhao Dong had to explain it clearly.
After confirming the personnel and route, the team of archaeologists and three team members did not hesitate and quickly set off into the tomb.
