Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 501
The long-haired girl heard the words and said, "Ah... shall we walk back? How long will it take!"

I didn't want to talk to this girl, so I turned to Yaya and said: "You have also seen this place. There are a group of unknown people with guns, and they want to kill us. It will not do any good for you to stay here. So, Now, go now, now."

Yaya said: "Then what are you going to do? Are you going to that cave?"

The little boy on one side immediately asked vigilantly: "Hole? What kind of hole?"

The girl Yaya is still a bit cautious, knowing that we definitely don't want too many people to know, so she shook her head and signaled the little boy not to ask more questions.Tofu stood up, took out a pen and paper from the equipment bag, wrote down Zhang Wen's phone number and address, and told Yaya to help contact Zhang Wen after returning, and not to tell others about our situation.This other person naturally refers to the little white faces and the others, young people, even if they don't have any malicious intentions, it is inevitable that they are not tight-lipped.

Yaya nodded, carefully put away the note, looked at Tofu worriedly, and said, "Then, you must be careful, I will get your friends to help as soon as possible."

"Oh, why are you talking so much nonsense with them, hurry up, it's so hot." Xiaobailian gave Yaya a hand impatiently, and the four of us shared some food and water from us, and then set foot on the protocol.Immediately afterwards, the four of us immediately headed towards the location where the burrow appeared. When we got there, we did not dare to relax our vigilance. Since Tofu was injured, we relieved him of physical labor and asked him to climb to the ground with a telescope and a gun. The highest nearby sandstone was used as a sentinel.

Although tofu is a coward, outsiders don't know that such a fully armed scene is still very deterrent to those who don't know the truth.Immediately afterwards, Zhuanrui, Harichagai, and I laid out the mushroom diggers and took turns expanding the hole.

After all this tossing, we were covered in sand and sweat, and we were like three ground mice. Tofu sat on the sandstone, and suddenly shouted: "Look here." The three of us thought something happened, and turned our heads abruptly. , but saw Tofu snapping a picture with his mobile phone, and said: "This photo is called 'Three Mice Digging Holes' and I will keep it as a collection. I will draw it and give it to you later. Do you like sketches, Chinese paintings or oil paintings? "

Zhuan Rui wiped off his sweat, picked up a moderately hard clod from the ground, weighed it twice, and threw it directly on the tofu's head, until he yelled and said, "Do your own work, If you desert again, you will be shot on the spot.”

After half a day of hard work, the entire hole has been widened to one person's width, which is enough for us and our equipment to go in together, but the hole is quite deep, and the sky is getting late, but it still hasn't reached the end.Harichagai had gone in before, and he said that he would have to work hard for at least two hours if he wanted to fight to the end.We had been tossing around in the daytime and digging holes, and now we were exhausted and embarrassed.When the tofu interrupted us, we decided to take a break, looked at each other, and couldn't help shaking our heads and smiling wryly.I don’t care about it, any style is fine, Zhuan Rui wears suits and leather shoes on weekdays, although his face is half ruined, he wears a mask most of the time, and he goes in and out of high-end places, people, monsters and shadows, now he is unkempt and smelly Khan is mixed with pictures, and there are small holes worn out on the trousers. At first glance, it looks a bit like a migrant worker brother who just got off work from a construction site.

Looking at it this way, I suddenly saw the Huuduo pattern on his back, and the color seemed to be a bit darker than the last time I saw it.As if he noticed my gaze, Zhuan Rui remained calm and turned his body slightly. It seemed that he didn't like me staring at the tattoo-like thing on his back.

Sitting down, we ate something, drank some water, and while the sun was still shining, we decided to open the hole in one go. Needless to say, after a lot of hard work, the three of us took turns to fight. After a while, we saw Harichagai crawling out , Shouted: "It's done."

It was dark now, and I couldn't see anything even if I looked on the sandstone. At this moment, the tofu had already fallen into the sandstone.Hearing the words, "What's behind that hole?"

Harichagai said that when he dug through the last section, he dug out a layer of hard gray-white substance, which should be deposited volcanic ash. The bottom is probably the ruins of ghosts, but the houses and underground palaces of ghosts are all built with huge stones. , He pried it twice with a tool, but he couldn't get it done, so he came out to get the partially blasted detonator.

Immediately afterwards, after taking the things, Harichagai drilled in again, and after a short while, he heard a muffled sound from the ground. It was simply that the Gobi landform and soil were relatively hard, and the power of local blasting was also small, so no landslides were caused.After a while, Harichagai crawled out and gestured OK.Tofu couldn't wait to ask: "Has it exploded? How is the situation below?"

"What could be the case? It's all dust, and I can't see clearly." Zhuan Rui said, "It seems that the air quality down there is not good. Let it be ventilated first, and we will talk about it tomorrow." We are all experienced in underground operations. , so there was no objection, and everyone immediately raised a bonfire and took turns to rest.In order to prevent any accidents with the group of people, we didn't dare to rest for too long. We slept for about five hours, reckoning that the air inside was almost changed, so we packed our things and went down into the cave.

Before going down, I looked at the time on my watch. It happened to be one o'clock in the morning. I didn't know what would happen when I went down. Subconsciously, I looked up at the sky. In the night of Gobi, there was a silver moon hanging .

I do not pray in my heart: I hope this is a good start.If everything in the divine text is really true, maybe there is no need to go to the tomb of King Juer, this place, you can find a way to break the curse and even rescue the corpse fairy.

Tofu also seemed particularly nervous. He used to be very noisy when he followed me, but now he was probably concerned about the safety of the corpse, so he also calmed down, appearing particularly cautious.The four of us extinguished the bonfire and began to climb down along the entrance of the cave. After a while, the space that was blown out appeared in front of our eyes.

It was dark, perhaps because the bad luck in it hadn't been exhausted yet, and when the light was turned on, it seemed that there was a black air hovering in it.I was most worried about the sudden appearance of a Huyuduo, so I asked Harichagai, "Is its breath still there?"

Harichagai shook his head, indicating that the breath had disappeared.

The space under the hole is not high, about three meters. From this position, you can still see a long hair-shaped table, but the surface is covered with thick gray-black things.This height is nothing to us, everyone jumped down, and when they landed, a thick cloud of dust rose up.

Fortunately, we all wore gas masks, so it didn't bother us.At this time, all the flashlights in everyone's hands were turned on. I couldn't help but be surprised when I saw this, because this place is obviously a folk house, but what is strange is that after a thousand years, the furniture and daily necessities in this house are completely different. No decay disappears.

Tofu knocked on the table with his hands, in addition to the rising black ash, there was also the muffled sound of wood banging.

I couldn't help hissing, feeling that this place was a bit strange.At this moment, Tofu turned the light to the side. There was a wooden door half open. The wooden door should lead to the outside. A place like a hall.We took a look around, took the flashlight, pushed open the thousand-year-old door, and walked into the space behind the door.

In the dim light, everything seemed obscure, I walked in the front, the light swayed with my line of sight, but the next moment, a white face suddenly appeared in my line of sight!
At that time, the ghosts died in the disaster of the volcanic eruption, and the people in the ghosts died instantly.Although I was mentally prepared to see some dead people, I didn't expect a human face to suddenly appear in the darkness, and the strangest thing was that this human face still had its eyes open. When I flicked the light slightly, that The eyeballs, which have not rotted for thousands of years, seem to move accordingly.

"Ah..." I could see it, and the rest of the people naturally saw it too. Tofu's reaction was particularly intense. With a loud cry, he immediately shrank his body and hid behind me, shouting: "Oh my god, is it a corpse or a zongzi? Scary, old Chen, go and have a look."

I was also quite frightened at first, but after being yelled by Tofu, I calmed down and cursed: "Look at your cowardly..." While speaking, I boldly looked at the person in sight go.

At this time, I saw clearly that there were actually two corpses next to this person, to be more precise, this corpse.I saw that they were sitting next to a table, and the one facing me was a man, his eyes widened, his mouth slightly opened, and he held a cup in his left hand, as if he was about to drink water.Sitting next to him was a woman with her head bowed and her hands in a weird pose, as if she was about to get up.Next to the woman, there was a child about seven or eight years old, lying on the table, as if sleeping.

They seemed to be frozen in the moment before they died, and the furniture and furnishings in these rooms made of huge stones were also frozen, as if time had stopped here.

At this moment, Tofu seemed to have thought of something, and boldly stretched out his hand to touch the man's face.I was taken aback, you know, when a dead body is looking at you with its eyes open, even if the dead body has not been picked up, no one would dare to touch it, did Tofu eat the guts of a leopard today?
