Tomb Raiding: All Things Merge, Starting with 400x Strength

The woman who fell to the ground and was surrounded by bloodied people was probably Ah Ning.

Zhang Hao originally didn't want to get involved; she was Jude Kao's subordinate and an extremely blindly loyal person.

Because of the adoption, even though she knew the other party was using her, she still did not firmly carry out the instructions.

Her presence caused a lot of trouble for the Wu family in the early stages.

Unexpectedly, a map deciphered from a Warring States period silk scroll saved her life.

"Thank you for saving me."

Ah Ning was badly injured and struggled to get up from the ground.

"If you really want to express your gratitude, then show it with concrete actions."

As Pan Zi spoke, he picked up the map from the ground that had been deciphered from the Warring States silk manuscript.

"If there's anything you want to know, I'll tell you everything you can."

"Who are you, and why are you here!"

"My name is Aning, and I work for the Ocean Salvage Group. I'm here to find something for our boss."

Ah Ning answered questions readily and without holding anything back.

Having gained a general understanding, Panzi continued to ask questions.

Where did this map come from?

“It was given to me by my boss. It was handed to my boss by a middle-aged man who suddenly appeared.”

"What, your boss gave it to you?"

Pan Zi originally thought this map was the one that Uncle Wu had, which is why he saved A Ning.

He kept staring at Aning while he was asking questions, so it's safe to say he wasn't lying.

In other words, the map that is exactly the same as the one in Uncle Wu's hand does not belong to Uncle Wu.

Panzi suddenly turned to look at the fat man: "Do you have this map?"

"What map?"

The fat man took the map from Panzi and examined it.

"Hey, I was wondering how you all managed to find this place. Turns out, everyone had a map of this tomb!"

The same map appeared in the hands of Uncle Wu, A Ning, and Fatty, all handed to them by a middle-aged man.

In other words, it is highly likely that someone knew the situation inside the Lu King's Palace and then deliberately leaked the real information to lure people into the tomb.

Although he didn't know the person's purpose in luring them over, Zhang Hao was certain of one thing: this was definitely not a good thing.

He had a vague feeling that there must be a conspiracy involved, otherwise the person wouldn't have gone to such lengths to lure people into this tomb.

Logically, it's most likely that the Wang family set up the trap, but according to Zhang Hao, quite a few members of the Wang family also lost their lives after entering the tomb.

If it was the Wang family who set this up, they shouldn't have harmed their own family members.

If it's not a member of the Wang family, then who is it?

"You were scratched by the blood-covered man, how come you're alright?"

As Zhang Hao was pondering, he suddenly heard Wu Tianzhen's exclamation.

Zhang Hao looked at A Ning, who had many wounds on her body, some of which were quite deep and had not stopped bleeding.

Although the poison in the blood-man is much weaker than that in the blood-corpse, it is still not something an ordinary person can withstand.

With so many wounds on her body, Ah Ning should have died from the poison long ago, but so far, apart from her pale complexion, she shows no signs of poisoning.

“I’ve been vaccinated, so the cadaveric virus doesn’t work on me.”

Wow, there's such a good thing!

Upon hearing this, the fat man immediately jumped out, having never heard of corpse poison or a vaccine.

If we had something like this, we wouldn't have to worry about getting bitten by zombies when we go down into tombs, which would save us a lot of trouble.

“Look at those corpses on the ground.”

Ah Ning pointed to the ground and laughed, "You think the corpse virus vaccine is so easy to obtain? If it were that easy, they wouldn't have turned into bloody people. My boss spent 10 billion to produce just one dose of the corpse virus vaccine."

"hiss……"

Everyone gasped upon hearing this. A single vaccine costs 10 billion; only someone with more money than they know what to do with would use it.

"A billion dollars just for immunity to corpse poison?"

"I knew the price was high, but I didn't expect it to be this high!"

"Fatty still wants to try the injection, but with such an expensive price, let's forget about it!"

……

Zhang Hao was not surprised to hear the price of 10 billion. Jude Kao's goal was immortality, and money was never his pursuit.

Spending 10 billion to acquire a loyal subordinate is nothing.

"Wait, the corpse poison vaccine costs 10 billion. My uncle's blood can not only immunize against corpse poison, but also repel parasites. It is much better than the corpse poison vaccine."

If I remember correctly, my uncle said that he ate something that gave his blood this ability.

Wouldn't the price of the food my uncle eats be well over 10 billion?

Zhang Hao smiled, never expecting that a corpse virus vaccine could be linked to him.

However, how can a corpse virus vaccine compare to Qilin blood?

The corpse poison vaccine can only provide immunity to corpse poison, while Qilin blood can provide immunity to any kind of poison. There are only a few extreme poisons in the world that Qilin blood cannot provide immunity to.

Of course, if the Qilin blood is pure enough, those poisons will have no effect.

Qilin blood can not only detoxify and repel insects and evil spirits, but most importantly, it can also prolong life.

If we really have to compare, based on the price of the corpse poison vaccine, if there were something in the world that could make a person's blood turn into Qilin blood after eating it, it would be worth at least hundreds of billions or trillions.

"Alright, Tianzhen, stop talking about me. Uncle San has been missing for several hours. We don't know what danger he might be in. We should find him first."

Zhang Hao didn't want to talk about the special effects of his blood, so he changed the subject and walked further into the tomb.

"and many more!"

He had barely taken a step when Aning stopped him.

"what happened?"

Everyone looked at Aning with puzzled expressions, wondering what she meant.

"At the end of this tomb passage is a maze. I wandered around inside for more than ten hours but still ended up back here."

"Are you telling the truth? We can't get out even after more than ten hours?"

Pan Zi exclaimed in surprise.

Ah Ning nodded: "That's right, all the instruments and equipment in the maze will stop working, and there's no way to get out."

"What should we do? Going back now would be a dead end, and ahead lies a maze from which we can't get out. Are we going to be trapped here and die?"

Da Kui became anxious when he heard that there was a maze ahead.

Panzi glared at Da Kui: "Useless thing, going back now is a dead end. Although there is a maze ahead, there is always a chance to get out. Don't give up without even trying."

"Panzi is right. We should always give it a try. What if we succeed?"

Zhang Hao smiled mysteriously. The maze might stop others, but it was practically useless to him.

He sent a sound wave toward the maze, and when the sound wave returned and was received, a complete map of the maze instantly appeared in his mind, and he found the correct route.

The entire maze is made up of countless brick walls four or five meters high. After entering from the entrance, there are eight forks every certain distance, only one of which is the correct route.

There are a total of eighteen such forks in the maze.

The probability of choosing the correct route each time is one in eight. In other words, without special means, the probability of escaping the maze is one in eighteen times one in eight.

This probability has approached zero.
