The Informal Tomb Raiding Diary: She is the occupant of the tomb!-Chapter 380 - 304: Counterfeit

But the female corpse didn’t have the Vajra Body. Within thirty seconds, I had injured her. Oh, and I wasn’t just swinging my fists — I had a dagger clutched in my hand.

The female corpse’s arm had been shaved of several chunks of flesh by me, and eventually, I cut off half her arm, with her forearm and hand falling to the ground, unable to scratch me anymore.

I took the opportunity to kick her down and stomped on her knee, breaking it. Now she couldn’t run anymore.

After confirming the female corpse was incapacitated, I quickly ran to Doctor Du’s side, turned her over, and checked her heartbeat. Her body temperature was a bit low, her chest wasn’t rising, and calling her name, even patting her generated no response.

People who drown seriously can suffocate and fall unconscious, but I don’t know emergency aid; I’ve never treated a drowning person.

At that moment, another force pushed me aside. I turned my head to see the high-fidelity female corpse. It lacked any human aura and moved without making a sound.

It pushed me aside and knelt beside Doctor Du to begin first aid — CPR and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. I was stunned watching it.

Its movements were skillful and precise, as if it were following a preset program. I thought to myself, it’s a robot, does it breathe? Mouth-to-mouth isn’t artificial intelligence breathing, people!

Yet, under its series of operations, Doctor Du came to, vomited water, then started to cough violently before resuming normal breathing.

The high-fidelity female corpse turned back to look at me. Just as I was about to ask what it was going to do, it came up and took off my jacket, placing it over Doctor Du.

If it hadn’t clearly been trying to save people, I would never have given in. Just as Doctor Du was getting better, another person jumped in from outside.

No, it was a corpse. This was a male corpse. Like the foreign female corpse, his skin was ashen, his eyes showed only whites, and there were already cadaveric spots on his face and hands.

Among the three who burned Scorpion Cave, two had died. These two corpses, the male and female, were surely the two who died on the spot.

The male corpse noticed the struggling yet immobilized female corpse on the ground, opened his mouth wide as if screaming, but no sound emerged.

The female corpse pointed her broken arm at me. Hey, still able to identify the culprit — it showed she retained a bit of intelligence.

The male corpse lunged at me to strangle me. When they were alive, they could have thought of many ways to kill me. Though retaining some intelligence after death, their fighting tactics were particularly simple — like, they wouldn’t use knives, guns, or hidden weapons, only attacking with their hands.

Empty-handed, they couldn’t withstand a magazine of bullets. Though I didn’t have a gun, even using a small knife I could beat them.

After dealing with the female corpse, I dealt with the male corpse. I’d already examined them, noticing no signs of petrification, so a little contact was okay.

Thinking about petrification, I suddenly remembered something. Earlier, when checking Doctor Du’s heartbeat, I pressed her wrist. When she came down, half of her arm was petrified, yet now her hand was back to normal, completely healed.

Having knocked down the male and female corpses, I quickly returned to Doctor Du to check. She, too, had noticed something strange and was lifting her arm to examine it carefully.

"The petrification disease is cured?" I improvised a term for convenience in asking.

"It’s the water." Doctor Du, having just swallowed water and feeling weak, could only muster two-word responses at a time.

"Are you saying it was the spring water that cured the petrification disease?" I supplemented for her.

Doctor Du nodded and then attempted to stand up. I advised her not to force herself and to rest a little longer. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

She had emergency medication in her pocket. Knowing that sudden dangers could arise at any moment in the wild, she kept the most crucial medications close — painkillers and fever reducers. Nowadays pills are so meticulously crafted, small, vacuum-packed, not taking up space in the pocket.

After taking her medication, she looked at me with an inquisitive gaze, glancing towards the high-fidelity female corpse beside us, as if asking, "Who is this?"

I squatted down and let Doctor Du examine the eyes of the high-fidelity female corpse. "Look at the pupils, not human, seems like a robot."

Without instruments or X-rays, I could only speculate that the high-fidelity female corpse’s stomach was filled with mechanical parts and couldn’t immediately prove it.

We couldn’t just stab it open with a knife to see. I recounted the process of its ’activation,’ and Doctor Du reached out, attempting to touch the high-fidelity female corpse’s hand.

Who knew the high-fidelity female corpse would swiftly pull its hand back, avoiding her touch? It had just given her artificial intelligence breathing, yet now wouldn’t let her touch it?

Despite Doctor Du showing no signs of aggression, curious, I also reached out to touch the high-fidelity female corpse.
