The words were directly transmitted into the ears of everyone in the research area, instantly raising the atmosphere as Bai Lin spoke. The team then engaged in lively discussion and quickly began their tasks.
Meanwhile, Chen Fan stood outside the door.
"Achoo.... Achoo..... Achoo..." he sneezed several times in a row.
"Who the hell is talking bad about me?"
Because the tents in District 13 were made of soundproof material, Chen Fan couldn't hear what was being said inside.
"Report! We've broken through the cave," a voice from a temporary worker came through the research lab's radio.
"Broken through?" Bai Lin immediately picked up the radio to inquire.
The other end of the radio instantly responded, "Yes, Secretary Bai, the ancient tomb has been opened by us."
"Excellent, we'll be there immediately. Please notify the Yun Meng leader."
"Yes!"
Bai Lin led the research personnel, carrying portable instruments, and pushed the door open.
"Go on, take these," she said, handing the equipment to Chen Fan.
As she passed Chen Fan, she quietly added, "The ancient tomb tunnel has been opened."
Upon hearing this news, Chen Fan's mood greatly improved.
Seeing this, the other research personnel also shoved the instruments in their hands into Chen Fan's.
A mountain of equipment was placed directly into Chen Fan's arms.
"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap," Chen Fan muttered, hugging the towering pile of equipment as he followed the researchers to the ancient tomb excavation site.
"Zhan Nian is saved!" Chen Fan thought to himself.
After all, District 13 had a large workforce. If he were to excavate it himself, despite his strength, he had no idea how much time it would take.
Punch after punch.
In no time, everyone arrived at the ancient tomb excavation site.
A large number of staff were waiting there, including Yun Meng and his team.
"You're here?" Yun Meng said expressionlessly.
The research personnel, however, walked directly towards the excavation point, completely ignoring Yun Meng.
"You... Damn it," Yun Meng's anger flared as he watched Bai Lin pass by without a word.
"Is this the new excavation pit?"
"You call this a breakthrough? It'll take too long to go down one by one like this. But thankfully," Bai Lin said, frowning at the pit that was only ten meters long.
Compared to the team led by Zuo Shen Dian before, the excavated tunnel was at least fifty meters long. This was nothing in comparison.
"Pfft... I'll grudgingly admit it's a pit, but how will excavators get in? Or for so many people and so much equipment."
Since Bai Lin had heard Chen Fan's descriptions of it being a hidden world, she decided to lead her team down to investigate personally.
This would also be helpful for writing analysis reports and creating new 3D models for Chen Fan and Yun Meng.
Furthermore, by researching the tomb, they could activate life detection instruments to search for Bai Zhan Nian's location, which was Bai Lin's intention.
"What? You're going in?" Yun Meng sounded surprised upon hearing Bai Lin's reply.
After all, it was Bai Lin who had asked Yun Meng to find temporary workers for the tomb, preventing her elite Seventh District forces from entering.
If even Zuo Shen Dian couldn't control the ancient tomb, how dare Yun Meng and his men explore it casually?
"Yes, only if I go down can I fully understand the situation inside the ancient tomb and provide you with better analysis data, making your work twice as effective," Bai Lin said to Yun Meng with a serious expression.
Seeing this, Yun Meng couldn't say anything more, as Bai Lin was acting in the best interest of their Seventh District.
Yun Meng turned to the person temporarily managing the temporary workers and said,
"How long will it take to excavate another 10 meters?"
"Reporting, sir, at least two days," replied the temporary worker in charge.
Upon hearing this, Chen Fan couldn't sit still.
"Two days? Every day counts now, and you're saying two days?" Chen Fan thought, then walked up to Bai Lin and whispered.
"How about you give me a life detector, and I'll go down myself?"
"Absolutely not! Absolutely not!" Bai Lin exclaimed as soon as she heard Chen Fan.
With Bai Lin's shout, the surrounding temporary workers and department personnel looked over.
"What's not allowed... What are you doing?" Yun Meng, whose communication was interrupted by Bai Lin's cry, looked at her with a dark expression.
Bai Lin glanced around, looking a little embarrassed, and apologized a few times. Then she quietly said to Chen Fan, "The situation in the ancient tomb is very unstable right now. If you go down recklessly, what if you lose your life? What will I do if something happens to you underground...?" At this moment, Bai Lin was like a wife watching her husband go to war, wanting to do everything to ensure his safety but being unable to do anything herself, only able to ensure his safest departure.
Seeing Bai Lin like this, Chen Fan didn't say much more, planning to go down on his own that night and not wait any longer.
"You can totally use portable instruments to investigate and collect evidence," Yun Meng said, looking at the numerous instruments in Chen Fan's hands.
However, Bai Lin immediately retorted, "The precision and investigative range of these portable instruments are definitely not as good as large-scale instruments. Besides, if we go in with portable instruments, we'll just be moving around recklessly. Although we will go down, we'll only use portable instruments to explore this area for now. We will eventually use the large-scale instruments." Bai Lin then cast a glance at the other researchers.
