The Informal Tomb Raiding Diary: She is the occupant of the tomb!-Chapter 322 - 274: The All-Around Employee (Part 2)

"Fu—Fu—"

"Chairman! Chairman!"

Hearing Baozi’s voice, I thought it was an illusion, but then Bai Yun’s shout followed, so I knew it wasn’t an illusion.

"We’re here!" Considering Shunfeng and Xiangyang might stop breathing at any moment, I hadn’t gone to Yellow Springs for two days, afraid they might have a brief recovery while I’m not there, so I’ve been staying by their side.

Baozi and Bai Yun’s voices came through the crevice, sounding particularly ethereal. I jumped off the boat, ran to the crevice, and shouted with my throat, "We’re here!"

After a while, I heard footsteps. Bai Yun ran over and, upon seeing me, said, "Chairman, I’m sorry, I’m late."

"Not late, not late. Those two still have a breath. Quick, did you bring the emergency medicines?"

"I did." Bai Yun took off her backpack and pulled out an emergency kit.

"There are two people on the boat who need emergency care, do you know how to use this?"

"I do."

I patted her arm, "Go ahead, thank you."

It took a while for Baozi to run over, gasping for breath. Upon seeing me, she wailed and flung herself at me, hugging me and crying bitterly.

Her action startled me. This little girl almost died when she fell down the shaft and didn’t cry, yet seeing me alive, she burst into tears?

"It’s okay, it’s okay, don’t cry." My comforting skills are all from movies, inevitably making my tone dry and lacking genuine emotion.

"I knew... sob... knew you wouldn’t... sob... eat, I brought food for you, eat quickly." Baozi sobbed, unloaded her backpack, and took out a bundle of ginseng, a bundle of astragalus, a big bag of lingzhi slices, along with fleeceflower root, deer antler, and huang jing, all supplements I had eaten before.

"How did the two of you come down?" I asked them curiously, thinking that with men on the rescue team, they wouldn’t have let Baozi come down.

"Qinghan’s phone couldn’t get through all the time, I called the captain. He said there were no available local people, and they had to transfer from elsewhere, but everyone had tasks. If we contacted local departments for rescue, the underground Ancient City’s secret... would mean... would mean waiting. The scenic area was closed due to the earthquake, and Bai came up with a way, having those sisters dig and dig..."

I held Baozi’s shoulders and pinched her tear-stained little face. This type of dilemma was hard for her to bear, as she had no power to dig through a collapse zone thousands of meters deep to save people, knowing the people below might already be dead or waiting to die. Doing nothing would also make her feel guilty.

Baozi wiped tears while talking about what they had been doing these days. Her feelings were pretty much what I guessed, which is why she insisted on coming down despite Bai Yun’s opposition, even accepting the risk of a second collapse.

"Where’s Wen Jing?" I listened for a long time but didn’t hear her mention Wen Jing, which felt odd.

"He went to divert the bad guys, that woman in white, she came back with people yesterday. Jing drove a big truck, pretending to carry a coffin to lure her away."

The little girl’s mind was a bit scattered now, saying whatever came to mind, with no logical order.

"Don’t worry, we’re fine." I rubbed her head. This originally lively and cute girl now had two big dark circles from worrying above ground, definitely not having slept well.

Bai Yun provided emergency treatment to Shunfeng and Xiangyang, but they still needed hospitalization. Keeping them alive for now was the priority, everything else could be managed later.

Bai Yun and her Tool Man helped us get people to the surface. Those security guards had been sent up before the collapse. She knew to operate in the scenic area, she needed to remain low-key, preferably not attracting the police’s attention, so she sent the unconscious security guards outside the scenic area and casually took their wallets and mobile phones.

This way, when they were found, everyone would think they were robbed outside the scenic area, and why they were outside during working hours or how they were collectively robbed would remain a mystery.

I have always acknowledged Bai Yun’s work ability, but it’s a pity her first boss abandoned her without a word, and her second boss was a controlling maniac. This time, I must arrange a stable job for her, as a way to cherish her talent.

By the time we climbed out of the hole, it was late at night. Bai Yun, when buying the emergency kit, also bought saline solution and administered it to herself to counteract the reaction Black Iron inside her had to magnets.

She also performed a ’minimally invasive’ surgery on the Tool Man, cutting off their signal receivers with Inosi, so Inosi wouldn’t receive their regular feedback nor remotely control them.
