Tomb Raiding: My Family's Last Clan Chief is Little Brother

Chapter 200 The Mystery of the Ghost City
Zhang Wuxun was surprised, "[Your healing ability can also be applied to other people?]"
"Yes," the system said. "It'll be a bit more troublesome, but saving lives is the priority."

[Okay.] Zhang Wuxun nodded. With the medical equipment he had now, by the time the wound was stitched up, A Ning would have already died.

Immediately afterwards, he saw those torn and ripped wounds grow back at a visible speed, quickly turning into light red scars, and eventually disappearing little by little.

"[My system is amazing!]" Zhang Wuxun praised. "[How did you do that?]"
In fact, this can be considered another form of objectification.

Zhang Wuxun understood the reason after a moment's thought; he couldn't do that with his current materialization abilities.

The cardiac stimulant took effect, and Aning's chest heaved more and more before gradually calming down.

Aning has a strong will; she opened her eyes in less than half an hour after her injuries improved.

"You're awake. How are you feeling?" Zhang Wuxun gave her an injection of nutrients.

A Ning's muddled thoughts were awakened by this sound. She tried to sit up, but due to excessive blood loss and the fact that her limbs had not yet recovered their strength, she could only collapse helplessly.

"Did you see them?" Zhang Wu asked.

Ah Ning shook her head with a wry smile, "When the Corpse Beetle King attacked, Wu Xie and I ran together, but there were too many forks in the road here, and we got separated. After running around aimlessly, I found that I couldn't get out. Suddenly, I had a headache, and then I didn't know anything. When I woke up, I saw you."

Zhang Wuxun nodded after listening and said nothing more. After all, the system's abilities were too incredible, so it was better not to let her know that he had been cut all over his body.

The Wang family has always been elusive, and given that the enemy is in the dark while we are in the light, it's normal that Aning is powerless to fight back.

The only thing that puzzled him was why the Wang family didn't just kill A-Ning directly, but instead used the method of cutting her all over her body and leaving her there to fend for herself.

The most likely explanation is that the person sent by the Wang family to carry out this mission was an extremely arrogant person. She thought that no one would find Aning here, but there are many dangerous creatures in the desert. Even if Aning survived the blood loss and dehydration, she would eventually be found and devoured by the creatures in the sand because she had no self-rescue medicine.

"Enough with the small talk. Since you're still alive, let's begin the transaction." Zhang Wuxun placed two full backpacks next to Aning. "The supplies inside are plentiful, enough for you to recover your strength and leave this area on your own. After leaving the Devil City, don't look for your subordinates or the company. Remember, from now on, you must forget this identity."

“I’ve arranged a new identity for you. It’s all in this box.” Zhang Wuxun avoided A Ning’s gaze, took out a black iron box from behind his back, and showed her how to open the mechanism on it. “Put on the mask in the box, memorize the information inside, and then you just need to hike twenty kilometers north and wait there for about three days. A group of camel riders will pass by. Follow them out of the desert, then go to the address I gave you. Once you get there, hide and wait for my later instructions. I’ve already prepared the money for you; it’s up to you how you do it.”

Ah Ning propped herself up to sit up, took the box, opened it, and after seeing the human skin mask inside, she was silent for a moment. "I understand. You can go now."

Zhang Wuxun nodded, picked up the remaining backpack, and said, "Okay, I'm going to find Tianzhen now. Be careful."

After saying goodbye to A Ning, Zhang Wuxun followed his senses and quickly headed towards Wu Xiaoxie's location.

Shortly after Zhang Wuxun entered the Devil City, a group of people arrived at the camp outside.

The bearded foreigner immediately went to greet them, exclaiming with delight, "Wow, Super Fish was absolutely right! You really did come!"

The fat man stepped forward and greeted them, "Where are Muyu and Tianzhenren?"

Just as the bearded foreigner was about to speak, they heard a series of agonizing screams. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Zaxi leading two men carrying a Caucasian man as they ran out of the Devil City. They looked terrified and disheveled, as if they were being chased by ghosts.

"What's going on?" The bearded foreigner rushed over to help Wu Laosi, directing people to take over the Caucasian while looking behind them. "Where are the team leader and the others? Why didn't they come out with you?"

Wu Laosi was panting heavily when he hurriedly explained the reason, and the atmosphere in the camp immediately became tense.

Zaxi looked anxious. "What should we do now? Aning and the others don't know how to navigate the Arabian stone piles. The Devil City is a maze with interconnected passages; they'll be trapped inside and die."

The bearded foreigner hurriedly asked them, "Where's Superfish? Didn't you encounter him? He went in to look for you after seeing the distress signal."

Zaxi was dumbfounded and slapped his thigh, "Oh dear, how could you let him go in alone?"

The fat man listened for a long time before finally understanding what was going on.

He hurriedly turned back and pulled the young man and the others aside, saying, "This is terrible! Tianzhen and Muyu have both entered the Devil City. According to that Wu Laosi, there's a huge swarm of Corpse Beetle Kings that they accidentally released inside. What are we going to do? By the time we find the place, Muyu and Tianzhen will probably be eaten to the bone by the bugs."

Pan Zi immediately put on a stern face and scolded, "Don't talk nonsense. Young Master San is a lucky man and will definitely be fine."

The fat man ignored him, turned to the younger man, and asked, "What do we do now? Go inside?"

The young man glanced in the direction of Devil City, frowned, and said, "Grab the equipment and let's go."

"Alright." The fat man patted Black Bear on the shoulder. "Hey Blackie, you can wait here for now. We need to go in."

Black Bear adjusted his sunglasses, sighed, and waved to them, "Have a safe journey."

The young man and his companions packed their gear and, ignoring Zaxi's objections, headed towards the Devil City.

At first, things went smoothly, and we followed the path of the Arabian stone piles for more than two hours.

Gradually, the young man realized something was wrong. He raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, looked around at the wind-eroded rock mountains full of holes and ravines, and said with certainty, "We're lost."

"Huh?" The fat man, who had a brightly colored scarf on his head to shield himself from the sun, looked a little confused. "Lost? The scenery here all looks the same. Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Panzi also sensed something was wrong. He walked up to the pile of Arabian stones in front of him and looked at it carefully before confirming, "We have indeed walked through this place once before. If you don't believe me, take out your camera and let me see."

Getting lost in this godforsaken place could get you into serious trouble.

The fat man quickly picked up the camera hanging around his neck, pulled out the photos of the Arabian stone piles he had taken earlier, and carefully compared them one by one.

"Hey, this one, this one."

The fat man zoomed in for a closer look and immediately cursed, "This is unbelievable! It's exactly the same!"
