Chapter 353: Graveyard Exploration, Give Up Again!

The design of this virus is not ingenious, in fact, it has been widely used on the modern earth, before the Middle Ages, the most famous is the tomb of Tutankhamun.

The tomb of Tutankhamun is the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun of the 18th Dynasty of Ancient Egypt before the Common Era, and is known as one of the world's top ten rare tombs, and its discovery once shocked the whole world.

During the discovery and excavation of Tutankhamun's mausoleum, many precious artifacts were transported, such as gold masks, funeral vessels, mummies, etc., which made the entire cultural relics community excited. But what is frightening is that the people involved in the excavation died one after another after the relics were transported, and some archaeologists who visited the mausoleum also died one after another, and even the collectors who had brief contact with the relics could not escape the fate of tragic deaths.

Numerous deaths have led to rumors of the "Pharaoh's curse" spreading, and some people have taken the opportunity to announce loudly: death will spread its wings and strangle anyone who dares to disturb the peace of the Pharaoh, and if the Pharaoh's treasure is not exchanged, no one will escape death!

Many people were terrified to the extreme, and some people actually began to prepare to send the relics back to the mausoleum. But later, after a series of studies, it was a relatively scientific conjecture.

One of the conjectures is that the death of the people has nothing to do with the curse at all, but the germs: the mausoleum was once deliberately stacked with a large number of fruits and vegetables as sacrifices, and after the mausoleum was closed, these sacrifices inevitably decayed, coupled with the dark and damp environment in the mausoleum, it was easy to multiply various germs, and finally the depths of the mausoleum and the surface of the cultural relics were covered with these deadly germs.

The official excavation of the mausoleum was started before and after the First World War in the history of the earth, and the level of science and technology was not developed enough, and the excavators generally lacked protective measures, at most hanging an orange peel under the nose to cover the strange smell in the mausoleum.

As a result, when the excavation work began, the ancient deadly germs that had survived in the mausoleum for more than 3,000 years invaded the bodies of the excavators like robbers who broke into the undefended village, and quickly multiplied and infected.

As a result, it didn't take long for excavators and archaeological experts to continue to have symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections such as high fever and chest tightness, and they died after treatment was ineffective. And collectors who have direct contact with artifacts contaminated with deadly germs are not immune.

Something similar happened many times after Tutankhamun's tomb, when researchers repeatedly proved in the tomb that deadly germs that had lived for thousands of years were finally put on guard.

By the end of the twentieth century, basically all the tomb excavations would be extremely complete in the process of work, and even computer-controlled robots were used to replace human excavations.

Thinking of this, Richard's eyebrows furrowed.

When he entered the tomb, he thought that there might be such a danger in the tomb, but in the end he did not take any precautions.

On the one hand, after the first exploration, I saw the existence of many beetles, and subconsciously thought that the ecological environment in the tomb was good.

On the other hand, if you do a deliberate protection, given the length of time you have to explore, spells will be difficult to meet your needs, and you will have to use some equipment. With the help of equipment, you will need to wear a heavy filter mask at least and hang an oxygen cylinder at worst. Not to mention the trouble of production, even if it is made and worn on the body, it will greatly affect the flexibility of the body. Face the monsters in the catacombs such as beetles, and the difficulty skyrockets.

The last aspect is that he really doesn't think that this tomb will be carefully designed to this point. After all, the previous Black Spirit Empire books, the numbers in the logo, the verification process of the Lickrel number, and the ballads are already considered outrageous. If there are a few more trap designs in the tomb, it is a bit overstepping.

It's really out of the ordinary, at least he doesn't think that in the current medieval-like world, there is anyone who can solve all the problems without difficulty and get something deep in the grave.

In a sense, this is also a kind of thinking inertia. After all, at the beginning of the graveyard expedition, all the monsters that need to be solved in battle will be considered a success if you destroy all the monsters. Who would have thought that all monsters are disguised, and the real killer is the mushroom that looks no danger!

It's like a dragon snatching the princess, and the prince riding a white horse to chase all the way, going through all kinds of trials, and finally killing the dragon and bringing back the princess, everything looks perfect. But who would have thought that the princess would be transformed by an evil witch, and that the dragon was manipulated by a witch, who was waiting for the princess to be stabbed with a dagger on the wedding night?

This...... Don't follow the routine! This is really out of the box!

This kind of calculation, if it is changed to ordinary people, they will not notice if they are really recruited, and they will not understand it!

Insidious to the extreme!

As Richard thought about this, a fire was born in his heart, and he felt the great malice of the designer of the tomb. But in the end, he tried to calm down, took out multiple layers of cloth from the space iron ring, and made a simple mask, which was covered on his mouth and nose to prevent the inhalation of more mushroom spores in the air and reduce the infection of germs as much as possible. Then think quickly about the current situation and how to deal with it.

The first thing that can be determined is that he has been tricked - infected by a germ, and the source is the spores of a certain mushroom in the mushroom forest that he has seen before.

Now, the germs have traveled down his respiratory tract into his lungs, causing pneumonia, which has flare-up so quickly that toxins such as cyanide are disgraced.

If you can keep this spor, you can use it as a biological weapon in the future and attack the enemy silently, it should be good. Of course, the key at the moment is to save his life.

How to save his life?

Two options.

The first option is to give up the exploration and immediately return to the laboratory to find a way to treat it.

The second option, stay here, continue to explore, try to find some possible antidote. After all, there must be a reason why so many beetles and scorpions live here and are safe and sound under the threat of spore germs. As long as the cause is found, then the problem will be solved.

Which one to choose?

Richard was thinking about it, when he heard the sound of "bang-la-la" suddenly sounded, and the mushroom forest fluctuated, and a large number of black shadows poured out from the depths of the mushroom forest, rushing en masse.

Getting closer, Richard saw that it was an army of swarms!

Greasy swamps and serial explosions had been used to annihilate an army of biters, but now this is the second one. Compared to the first batch, the colors of the shells of this new batch of swarms have changed from black, silver, and gold to green, red, and purple.

It can be seen that most of the beetles are green all over, a small part is green with red stripes on the shell, a few parts are red all over, and a very small part is red and purple.

"What's the new swarm...... Richard muttered to himself, and as he bent over and coughed heartbreakingly, he could clearly feel a clear tingling in his lungs, and in the time he had been infected with the germs, his symptoms had worsened three times.

Richard clenched his fists, looked at the army of thousands of beetles, and realized that there was only one choice he could make: withdraw to the laboratory.

The next moment, Richard did not hesitate, turned around and withdrew towards the exit.

Second Exploration, Give Up!
