Tomb raiding: It all started with shocking the archaeological team.

Did the police go there?

Strictly speaking, it should be the military! Didn't you see the standard Type 95 rifle?

I knew it! With something this big, the relevant departments would definitely intervene!

Does this mean the live stream is over? I want to see what happened up there!

[Same here, my curiosity has been completely piqued too! This whole thing is so unpredictable, it's going to keep me up at night...]

Why is the streamer chickening out?

The live stream footage shook violently due to the chaotic scene.

Viewers watching the live stream saw special forces soldiers appear on screen, which likely meant the police had arrived at the scene.

Some netizens were also complaining that Chen Yibai suddenly left when things were getting exciting and thrilling.

It's like watching half an hour of foreplay, just as you're about to get to the main event, the male lead suddenly pulls up his pants and runs away.

"Get out...get out!"

Chen Yibai was helped to his feet. He heard a creaking sound coming from above him, and the sound was getting louder and louder. He quickly shouted for all the special forces soldiers here to evacuate first.

"Withdraw! Withdraw!"

Although the captain was unaware of the situation, seeing Chen Yibai's flustered and serious tone, he quickly shouted through the walkie-talkie.

The special forces team that entered the Corpse Tower consisted of only about twenty people.

After retreating from the Corpse Tower, Chen Yibai was stunned by the scene outside.

Outside the corpse tower stood a large special forces unit, estimated to be nearly two hundred men, all armed with live ammunition and fully equipped with tactical lights on their helmets, illuminating almost the entire underground pit.

In addition, there were about a hundred members of the Heavenly Path Society who were restrained and obediently squatted down with their heads in their hands, bringing the total to three or four hundred people.

"Captain Chen, hello. I am Zhao Changjun, the overall commander of this operation!"

A middle-aged man in his forties strode towards Chen Yibai and shook hands with him very politely and amicably.

After all, Chen Yibai's advance scouting trip was a great help to the police. In a sense, Chen Yibai was providing them with technical guidance and was a technical expert!

"How many people have come?" Chen Yibai asked, raising an eyebrow.

"The original plan was for 200 people, but we later added another 100, all of whom are top-notch all-around elites!" Zhao Changjun said.

"And now? Are there still people who haven't come down?" Chen Yibai glanced ahead again; it didn't look like there were three hundred people at all.

Zhao Changjun smirked: "We encountered a bit of an accident up there just now, and more than twenty people were killed..."

When this was mentioned, Zhao Changjun was heartbroken. More than 20 people had sacrificed their lives, and they were elite special forces soldiers. What does that mean in today's peaceful society? It is an extremely tragic loss.

Chen Yibai naturally saw this from Zhao Changjun's expression and immediately said, "Quickly, get all of you out!"

As he spoke, Chen Yibai turned his head and looked towards the direction of the passageway, where four rope ladders were hanging. They must have been used by the special forces when they came down.

"Huh? Everyone leave?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Changjun immediately raised an eyebrow and shook his head repeatedly in refusal, saying, "We can't back out now. Aren't the three leaders of this tomb-raiding gang still inside? Besides, our mission is to protect the cultural relics at the scene, and we've even brought a team of relevant cultural relics experts with us!"

A team of cultural relics experts?

Is this a two-pronged approach of combating tomb raiding and carrying out archaeological work?

Are archaeological work these days done in such a rush?

Do you know what's going on here right now? Why are you in such a hurry to do archaeology?

No sooner had Zhao Changjun finished speaking than Chen Yibai heard a very familiar voice from behind him: "Captain Chen...Captain Chen...What's the situation in here? Why are you all out?"

Hearing the voice alone, Chen Yibai knew who it was.

Turning around, I saw Wang Haichuan limping over.

He's truly a great expert for the people; he's everywhere.

But why is his leg lame?

Chen Yibai noticed that Wang Haichuan's calf was stained with blood that hadn't dried yet, indicating that he must have bumped himself somewhere.

After Wang Haichuan limped over, Chen Yibai didn't waste any words or beat around the bush. He said directly, "The situation here is much more complicated than you imagine. It can't be explained in a short time. Let's get out of here while we still have time! If we waste any more time, it might be too late!"

Actually, Chen Yibai wanted to say, "If we had left any later, it wouldn't have been just a matter of sacrificing more than twenty people!"

I was just afraid that if I said something too harsh, it would sound unpleasant, so I swallowed it back before I could say it.

Upon hearing Chen Yibai's words, Wang Haichuan's expression immediately changed, and he quickly looked at Zhao Changjun and echoed, "Captain Zhao, since Captain Chen has said so, let the troops retreat immediately!"

Others may not understand Chen Yibai, but Wang Haichuan certainly does.

The last time I saw Chen Yibai with such a serious expression was when he fought Zhulong one-on-one in the Kangwang Tomb.

However, Zhao Changjun listened to Chen Yibai and Wang Haichuan's words with a complicated and somewhat troubled expression.

Although this large-scale tomb raiding gang has been busted, the three main leaders have not yet been caught, and the archaeological work has made no progress.

More than twenty people sacrificed their lives to get here, and this is all we've accomplished? If we just rush back like this, it'll be hard to explain.

"Wait a moment, I'll go ask my superiors!"

Zhao Changjun took out a satellite phone from his person; such an action definitely required approval from his superiors.

At the same time, Chen Yibai was also keeping a close eye on the towering corpse tower next to him.

In just a short while, the mummies that had been hanging outside the corpse tower seemed to slowly begin to move.

There must be at least a thousand mummies.

And the commotion inside the corpse tower was getting louder and louder.

If they all "come back to life," this underground pit could easily turn into a hellish arena.

You're still here asking your superiors for instructions.

Why are you asking for instructions? Special situations require special measures. You don't even have this kind of flexible thinking. How did you become the chief commander of the operation?

About a minute later, Zhao Changjun hung up the phone and looked at Chen Yibai and Wang Haichuan with a serious and resolute expression, saying, "Captain Chen, Professor Wang, I have just received orders from my superiors that, in order to uphold our determination to crack down on tomb raiding, we must capture the other three ringleaders inside!"

I'm so angry!

Upon hearing Zhao Changjun's tone, Chen Yibai immediately understood everything.

He was live-streaming the entire thing, and millions of netizens were glued to their phone screens watching his every move.

If the special forces withdraw without capturing Guan Yunlong and his three main leaders, it will damage their reputation and credibility.

But is reputation more important, or is life more important?
