TRSFTATTYA Chapter 50

As soon as they reached the deck, a shrill scream echoed from the ghost ship. Now that they had rescued Zhao Yongmei, everyone just wanted to get back to the fishing boat as quickly as possible.

Su Ze glanced at the fishing boat and noticed that they hadn’t gone too far, so he waved to signal them to bring the boat over.

On the fishing boat, the boat boss originally wanted to turn back, but Jin Wantang and Li Sidi firmly disagreed. Hearing the shouts from the ghost ship, the boat boss was dumbfounded. It turned out they were fine after boarding the ghost ship.

Since they were okay, there was no reason not to rescue them. They were seasoned sailors and had their principles.

The boat boss turned the boat around and slowly approached the ghost ship.

After the boat docked, a few sailors jumped over, still looking scared. They frantically carried the woman back to their boat and quickly weighed anchor.

The boat boss shouted, “Sail! Sail! Let’s get out of this damn place!”

The fishing boat sped away, escaping the ghost ship’s vicinity as quickly as possible.

Meanwhile, the archaeology team laid Zhao Yongmei on the deck, unsure of what to do.

Su Ze, recognizing the face eating disease, signaled the others to hold her down, then lifted her hair.

“Hiss—”

Everyone gasped.

Hidden within her hair were two withered hands, their ends attached to a fleshy tumor. On the tumor, a small human face was faintly visible.

The small adult face was loosely attached to the woman’s forehead.

Having prepared bezoar powder beforehand, Su Ze immediately sprinkled it on the adult face. The face suddenly let out a piercing scream and began to contort.

Su Ze immediately drew his Ancient sword of white gold and quickly inserted it between the tumor and the scalp, lifting the tumor. Then, with a forceful tug, he ripped it off.

The rest of the archaeology team watched in stunned silence…

The waterproof bag looked very old.

Su Ze opened the bag and a notebook, almost falling apart, tumbled out.

Opening the cover, he saw that the notes were written in English.

At this moment, the others also curiously gathered around…

Under their curious gazes, Su Ze flipped through the notebook, which was filled with English text.

Fortunately, Su Ze’s English was decent enough to understand the general meaning.

It was actually a very ordinary nautical log.

It belonged to a cargo ship, and the log recorded the ship’s daily work and other activities.

Su Ze had no interest in these details and skipped directly to the last page.

It recorded that they had encountered a storm at sea, followed by a ghost ship…

The diary ended there.

“We…”

Chen Wenjin smiled apologetically, “We can’t understand it.”

Su Ze realized that after all, the *gaokao* (college entrance exam) had only been reinstated a few years ago, and there weren’t many people who were truly proficient in English. Those who were proficient were professors or experts.

Under their admiring gaze, Su Ze cleared his throat, about to tell everyone the contents of the diary.

But as he was about to speak, some thoughts flashed through his mind, and he changed his words:

Wang Zanghai? Undersea Tomb?!

Everyone’s faces changed drastically, and they urged him, “Then what?”

At this point, Su Ze paused.

“Turned into what?!”

Several people asked in unison.

Su Ze wasn’t in a hurry, but instead carefully observed everyone’s expressions.

Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling looked anxious, waiting for Su Ze to continue.

Especially Wu Sansheng.

The color of these two people’s faces could not be concealed, they seemed to have thoughts not in the diary, but rather they were wondering what this thing was to think about.

Su Ze remembered that in Wu Tianzhen’s diary, Wu Sansheng was almost the mastermind behind the entire event. Before this Undersea Tomb trip even began, they had already begun to collude.

In the end, the two actually fed the surviving archaeology team members medicine, turning them into Prohibition Lady.

Whether it was to silence them, to complete Wang Zanghai’s unfinished immortality experiment, or for some other purpose.

In short, Wu Sansheng was a problem!

However, what caught Su Ze’s attention the most was the young man.

Zhou Diqi!

Zhou Tianqi looked anxious because Su Ze didn’t continue speaking, but he didn’t make a sound.

Just as Su Ze was thinking, Jin Wantang couldn’t stand it anymore and urged, “Uncle Ze, please tell us, what happened next?”

Su Ze’s goal had been achieved, so he naturally didn’t bother to talk nonsense. He spread out his hands, “That’s it.”

“That’s it?”

Jin Wantang and the others felt like they were reading a novel: it ended just when it was getting exciting, so disappointing.

“Damn it, the person I, Jin Wantang, hate the most in my life is one who cuts off the story…”

Jin Wantang cursed, but Chen Wenjin and the others became very curious and began to discuss the contents of the diary that Su Ze had translated for them.

“Foreigners also discovered the Undersea Tomb?”

“Yeah, I wonder if they found it?”

“They probably didn’t find it, otherwise they wouldn’t have only left half a diary…”

“Old Wu, what do you think?”

Chen Wenjin noticed that Wu Sansheng, who was usually very proactive, was silent at this time.

Wu Sansheng smacked his lips, “There’s no point in discussing this, we should find the Undersea Tomb first.”

Everyone nodded…

…

With the ghost ship incident over, the entire journey suddenly became unusually smooth.

On the afternoon of the third day, the fishing boat finally found the location of the Undersea Tomb that Chen Wenjin and the others had determined beforehand.

Everyone was very excited.

However, the most critical issue now was:

How to find the location of the Undersea Tomb in the vast ocean?

Chen Wenjin explained the situation to everyone.

But this sea looked the same everywhere.

Where exactly was the ancient tomb?

No one could say for sure.

Unfortunately, almost all of these things were rotten, and it was difficult to find intact ones. Even if they did, most of them were parasitized by marine life and difficult to clean.

Hearing this, Jin Wantang agreed, and the resentment in his heart dissipated somewhat…

However, some of Chen Wenjin’s classmates were very excited, shouting, “These things have immeasurable archaeological value!”

But!

After searching for most of the day, the Undersea Tomb was still nowhere to be found…

Chen Wenjin couldn’t help but frown. Searching for a tomb underwater was like finding a needle in a haystack. When would it end, unless they used Geomancy/Feng Shui.

Wu Sansheng patted his chest without hesitation, “Leave it to me!”

That was the awareness of a simp!

But locating at sea was different from locating on land. He had done a lot of land tomb location, but this was his first time with a sea tomb.

After all, Undersea Tombs were rare, and even the experience accumulated by the predecessors was very limited.

But he had already boasted to Chen Wenjin before, and now he couldn’t back down. He had no choice but to brace himself and look at the vast ocean with a serious expression.

But…

Ocean, damn it, all water!

If it were night, he could observe the stars and locate the tomb based on the star positions, but it was daytime now, and the sea was unlike land, there were no landmarks at all.

After looking for half a day, Wu Sansheng couldn’t see anything, so he blindly pointed to an unexplored area:

“This… here, probably…”

Chen Wenjin was perceptive and could see through Wu Sansheng’s insincerity.

But she still asked people to try it out, but they still brought up a basket of porcelain…

Wu Sansheng’s face turned slightly red, and he could only awkwardly explain, “I… I’m just a tomb raider, not a sea raider…”

Chen Wenjin raised her hand to stop him from speaking and looked at the vast sea with a frown. Even she, who was always quick-witted, was at a loss.

“How about I give it a try?”

A faint voice rang out, causing everyone to look at Su Ze in unison.

Su Ze’s offer made everyone feel happy.

After the ghost ship incident, everyone had clearly begun to look at Su Ze in a new light.

Huo Ling’s eyes were even more filled with brilliance…
