Tomb raiding live stream: Starting as the mute Zhang

Chapter 25 Day 2: Traveling and a bunch of disgusted faces

The next morning at six o'clock, it was still not fully light.

There was already movement in the camp. The special forces soldiers were the first to get up and were packing up their tents and checking their equipment. Lin Guoce stood on the high ground at the edge of the camp, observing the terrain ahead through binoculars.

The others gradually woke up.

Kun emerged from the tent, his hair disheveled and his eyes barely open. His assistant immediately handed him a damp towel and mouthwash, while the makeup artist waited nearby with foundation.

"Brother, just touch up your makeup quickly, the live stream will be on the whole time."

Kun nodded dazedly, letting the makeup artist pat his face.

Wu Sansheng also came out of the tent.

He was still wearing the same wrinkled clothes, his hat askew. He stretched first, his movements a little clumsy, then pulled half a steamed bun from his tattered canvas bag and squatted down by the tent to start eating it.

Liu Changfu happened to be passing by and, seeing him like this, shook his head and sighed, "With that kind of physical condition, he's still here for archaeology? Isn't he just a burden?"

Wu Sansheng looked up at him, still chewing on a steamed bun, with an innocent expression.

But deep in his eyes, a very faint hint of disdain flashed.

It's like looking at an idiot.

The live broadcast captured this moment.

[ID Liu Changfu: He's here again]

[ID: Laughing to death: Uncle's inner thoughts: Mind your own business]

Liu Changfu was unaware and continued to "care" about other people.

Breakfast was simple: compressed biscuits and cold water. Kun took a bite and frowned, "This taste... Assistant, where are my nutrition bars?"

The assistant quickly rummaged through her bag and pulled out several beautifully packaged nutrition bars.

Kun took it, tore open the packaging, and ate it in small bites. While eating, he smiled at the live stream camera and said, "Family members, remember to have a balanced breakfast!"

Wu Sansheng sat not far away, finished his steamed bun, and drank a few sips of water. He watched Kun Ge's actions and his lips curled down slightly.

Then I turned my head and looked at the mountain.

But that disgusted expression was caught on camera during the live broadcast.

The comments section is laughing again:

[ID Uncle's Daily Disdain 2/2]

[ID Kun Ge: What did I do wrong?]

[IDs perfectly synchronized: The uncle always complains when Kun Ge puts on a show]

After breakfast, we packed up the campsite and prepared to set off.

Lin Guoce gathered the team: "Today's path is steeper, everyone stay close and watch your step. We expect to reach the edge of the target area around 4 PM."

The team sets off.

The mountain road is indeed steeper now.

In many places, one had to use both hands and feet to climb up, grabbing onto rocks or tree roots. Kun Ge was struggling to climb, with his assistant and makeup artist supporting him from both sides, but he was still panting heavily.

Chen Man and Wang Yihan supported each other and were fairly steady.

As Liu Changfu climbed, he shouted, "This kind of path should be cleared by a master like Xie Linyuan! He'd walk on it like it's nothing! Capable people should take on more responsibility!"

Wu Sansheng was climbing up a rock not far behind him. Hearing this, he paused for a moment.

Then he looked up and glanced at Liu Changfu's back.

That look was like looking at a talking pile of shit.

Extremely disgusted.

The live stream captured this look from the side, and the comments section went wild with laughter:

[ID: Shit: I'm being rejected]

[ID Liu Changfu: Uncle has been putting up with you for a long time]

[ID Meme King: I could laugh at that look for a year]

Sun Shuanzhu climbed even slower, carrying a large bag filled with various surveying instruments and tools for protecting cultural relics. He had to stop every few steps to catch his breath, constantly reminding those around him, "Watch your step! Don't trample on the precious vegetation! Protect the environment!"

As Wu Sanxing passed by him, Sun Shuanzhu said, "Comrade, your backpack zipper isn't closed properly. What if your things fall out?"

Wu Sansheng looked down at his tattered canvas bag—the zipper wasn't fully zipped up, but inside were just a few tattered clothes.

He nodded: "Okay, okay."

Then continue climbing.

But when he turned his face away, he pursed his lips.

After climbing for two hours, the team rested on a platform halfway up the mountain.

Everyone was exhausted and collapsed on the ground to drink water.

Kun's makeup was ruined; sweat had washed away the foundation, leaving streaks. The makeup artist quickly touched it up. Kun, panting, said to the live stream audience, "Family, climbing mountains is really tiring, but it's worth it for the archaeological cause!"

After saying that, he suddenly took the basketball from his assistant.

He started dribbling again.

On this steep mountainside platform, he actually started dancing.

It's the same routine: dribble, turn, crossover, and power layup.

They were dancing quite seriously.

Everyone was looking at him.

The special forces soldiers' expressions were stiff.

Professor Zhou Xu'an pushed up his glasses, unsure of what to say.

Jiang Shouyi lowered his head to study the compass, pretending not to see it.

Liu Changfu actually clapped: "Brother Kun is truly multi-talented!"

Sun Shuanzhu frowned: "Dancing in a place like this isn't safe."

Wu Sansheng was sitting on the farthest rock, drinking water from his kettle.

Seeing Kun Ge dancing, he stopped drinking half of his water.

Then he slowly put down the kettle and looked at Brother Kun.

His expression was very complex.

First came surprise—dancing in a place like this?

Then came confusion—is this person out of their mind?

Finally, there was a deep, undisguised disgust.

The disgust was practically overflowing from his face.

He even shook his head slightly and sighed.

The barrage exploded:

[ID: Hahahaha: The uncle is speechless]

[ID Kun Ge: What did I do wrong?]

[ID Emoji Harvest: Enough Material for Today]

[ID: Laughing until my stomach hurts: The uncle's inner turmoil]

After Kun finished dancing, he saw Wu Sansheng's expression and was a little annoyed: "Uncle, what do you mean? Did I dance badly?"

Wu Sansheng quickly waved his hand and chuckled, "No, no, you jumped well, you jumped well."

"And what about that expression?"

"I was just... a little tired, and I didn't control my facial expressions well," Wu Sansheng said. "You danced exceptionally well, really."

Kun snorted and walked away with the basketball.

After he walked away, Wu Sansheng pursed his lips again.

This time, I'm too lazy to even film the live stream—it's like this every day anyway.

After resting for twenty minutes, we continued on our way.

The road was even more difficult to walk in the afternoon.

There is a section where you need to walk along a narrow path along the edge of a cliff, less than half a meter wide, with a hundred-meter-deep valley below.

Lin Guoce led the way, followed by the others who moved slowly along the rock face.

Kun Ge walked halfway, but his legs went weak and he dared not move.

"I...I can't get through this..."

The assistant and makeup artist were also scared and couldn't help.

Lin Guoce turned around and shouted, "Don't look down! Look ahead! Walk slowly!"

Kun Ge remained motionless, his face turning pale.

Wu Sansheng, who was a few people behind him, sighed as he watched the situation.

He slowly moved closer to Brother Kun.

"Um... Brother Kun, right?" he said in a simple and honest voice, "Don't be afraid, it's only a little wide, you can pass through with your eyes closed."

"I'm even more scared with my eyes closed!"

"Then...then shall I help you?" Wu Sansheng said. "I'll walk behind you, and if you stumble, I'll hold you."

Kun hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

So Wu Sansheng held onto the rock face with one hand and supported Kun Ge's back with the other, and the two of them slowly moved together.

Actually, even if Kun Ge had fallen, Wu Sansheng wouldn't have been able to catch him. But with someone following behind, Kun Ge felt a little more at ease and actually managed to slowly move across.

After that, Kun's legs went weak and he sat down on the ground.

Wu Sansheng followed, panting—pretending to be very tired.

Kun glanced at him and, unusually, said, "Thanks, uncle."

Wu Sansheng waved his hand: "Of course, of course."

Then he walked to the side and sat down to rest.

But when he turned around, he smirked again.

It's like saying: You're afraid of such a short distance, you're useless.

[Uncle ID complains, though late, it's here]

[ID Kun Ge: I just thanked him]

[ID Real: The uncle is actually a nice person, it's just that his expression is too honest]

At 4 p.m., the team reached the edge of the target area mentioned by Lin Guoce.

This is a relatively flat valley, surrounded by mountains on three sides, with waist-high weeds growing at the bottom. A stream flows through the valley, and the water is very clear.

"We'll camp here tonight," Lin Guoce said. "We'll start searching for the entrance to the ancient tomb tomorrow."

Everyone started setting up tents again.

Wu Sansheng was still clumsy at setting up the tent, making it crooked and uneven. A special forces soldier couldn't stand it and came over to help him fix it.

"Uncle, your manual dexterity is... you'd better stick with us next time."

Wu Sansheng chuckled sheepishly, "Thank you, thank you."

After setting up the tent, he went to the stream to fetch water.

The stream water was very cold. He cupped his hands, drank a mouthful, and then washed his face.

Then he raised his head and looked at the mountains on three sides of the valley.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

Feng shui techniques were automatically running in my mind.

The mountains on the left resemble a green dragon raising its head, the mountains on the right resemble a white tiger crouching on the ground, the vermilion bird opens its mouth in front, and the black tortoise lowers its head behind—all four symbols are present, and the energy converges in a certain place in the valley.

The entrance to the ancient tomb should be in that area.

He roughly had a idea.

But he didn't say it out loud.

Now is not the time.

He fetched the water and returned to the camp.

During dinner, Liu Changfu began to talk at length again.

This time, he directly targeted Xie Linyuan: "If you ask me, the authorities should issue a notice ordering Xie Linyuan to participate in archaeological work. It's a waste to keep his abilities hidden!"

Wu Sansheng was eating a steamed bun.

Upon hearing this, he paused in his chewing of the steamed bun.

Then he slowly raised his head and looked at Liu Changfu.

That look in his eyes was like looking at a corpse.

It was frighteningly cold.

Liu Changfu was getting into the conversation when he suddenly felt a chill down his back and turned around.

Wu Sansheng lowered his head and continued eating his steamed bun.

Liu Changfu scratched his head, thinking it might be because the mountain wind was too cold.

After dinner, it got dark.

A campfire was lit at the campsite.

Kun Ge is livestreaming again, and today he specifically thanked Wu Sansheng: "Today, when I was crossing the cliff, I was so grateful for Uncle Wu's help. Although he's old, he's a very kind person..."

Wu Sansheng, sitting on the outermost edge of the fire, didn't react much when he heard this.

He just stared at the campfire.

The firelight danced on his face, making his disguised face appear even more ordinary in the shadows.

But his eyes are very bright.

It was very quiet.

Lin Guoce walked over and sat down next to him.

"Mr. Wu, where do you think the entrance to the ancient tomb might be?"

Wu Sansheng snapped out of his daze and chuckled sheepishly, "Well... we'll have to take a closer look at the terrain tomorrow to figure it out. But it's probably somewhere in this valley."

Are you sure you can do it?

"About 70-80%."

Lin Guoce nodded, paused, and then asked, "Do you think Xie Linyuan will come?"

Wu Sansheng glanced at him: "Captain Lin really wants him to come?"

"The higher-ups want him to come," Lin Guoce said, "but I don't know what he's thinking."

Wu Sansheng was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "If he wanted to come, he would have. If he didn't want to come, no one can force him."

Lin Guoce remained silent.

The two of them sat there, watching the campfire.

After a while, Lin Guoce got up and left.

Wu Sansheng remained seated.

The night grew deeper.

The stars are out.
