Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 537
The six of us walked forward quickly, and at the moment we passed the grave, an unknown bird's cry suddenly sounded in the forest.Heizi raised his head in shock, probably wanting to see what was calling, so he stopped involuntarily.

During this pause, I suddenly saw that at the entrance of the grave, at some point, there were two extra hands.A pair of thin, blue hands with sharp and sharp claws.At this moment, the hand was still moving, slowly crawling out of the hole, and the arm was slowly revealed.Everyone was shocked, I pushed the frightened Heizi and signaled him to run away.Everyone immediately ran wildly, bypassing the tomb, as if fleeing for their lives.However, at this moment, I suddenly felt a chill on my back, as if a dark wind hit my back straight.

Could it be that the old corpse has already come out?
I turned my head to look, and sure enough, I saw a green-haired long-haired rice dumpling standing by the tomb not far behind, staring at us with bared teeth, a gust of wind came forward from behind, blowing the dead leaves into disorder Fly, the cold air.Immediately afterwards, the figure of the old zongzi rose from the ground and jumped towards us suddenly.Although this is not a flying corpse, it cannot fly, but its speed is very fast, one jump is three to five meters away, we have never run before, at this moment, Lu Su suddenly rushed to my side with the ghost crying knife, and shouted : "You go first!"

Lu Su's Ghost Crying Knife is very good at chopping rice dumplings. I didn't worry about him. I immediately ran and ran not far away. When I looked back, I saw that the old rice dumpling was slashed in the neck by Lu Su. The head flew far away.I was overjoyed, and just as I was about to give my compliments, I saw a few more zongzi popping out from the woods in the distance. Then I remembered that there are more than one tomb nearby. If each tomb is the same If it's only zongzi, then...

Thinking of this, my heart skipped a beat, I stopped, and said to Heizi, "You go first."

Heizi also stopped and said anxiously, "Brother Chen, what are you doing?"

I glanced at Feng Guishou and the others, and said, "Help, there are too many zongzi, and I'm afraid Lu Su can't handle it by himself. He is dead, and we don't want to have a good life." Bai Zhanji squinted his eyes, and looked at Li The fat man said, "Go and help." Feng Guishou immediately took out a gun from the equipment bag, and I also took out a small assault rifle, telling Heizi to follow Bai Zhanji first, and the three of us turned around and rushed over.

At this moment, those old zongzi sensed our breath, so they no longer only entangled Lu Su, and several of them rushed towards us in an instant.Feng Gui and I leaned shoulder to shoulder and shot together, but all the rice dumplings that rushed up were shot into hornet's nests. It is best to aim at the throat.Under such powerful firepower, rotten meat was scattered all over for a while, so that no zongzi could get close to us.

But for some reason, there are more and more of these old corpses, slowly gathering from the surroundings, as if they were inexhaustible.It didn't take long for a box of ammunition to be used up. We took turns changing the ammunition gap, and the firepower gradually weakened, and a green hairy rice dumpling suddenly rushed towards me.At this time, I was changing bullets, and I couldn't attack at all. In desperation, I could only use a gun instead of a stick, and swung violently, using the attack as a block, to slash towards the neck of the green-haired rice dumpling.

There was a click, and I don't know if the bone was broken or what. The zongzi fell to the ground with its neck crooked, but it was not dead. Before it could continue to climb up, Feng Guishou shot it in the throat.At this time, Lu Su said loudly: "No, I can't stop killing them, you go first."

At this moment, Lu Su already had wounds on his body. Since he was positioned relatively forward, most of the zongzi went towards him, and he was scratched by those claws many times, and his body was bloody.I said: "Stop talking nonsense, now that we are helping you, you will not be able to protect yourself, and once we leave, you will be torn apart!"

Hearing this, Lu Su panted and said, "Okay, since you guys are affectionate and righteous, I won't refuse. Listen to me, it's daytime, but this is a corpse breeding ground, so these things can come out during the daytime. Let's fight and retreat." , leave the corpse farm and run to a sunny place, then they will be stiff in the light, and there will be no danger." After saying this, Lu Su began to back away, and Feng Guishou and I joined forces and took turns firing, simply comparing the bullets. Sufficient, there is no ammunition source crisis yet.

I said: "The trees in these places are too dense. If you want to say that there is enough sunshine, you still have to go to the riverside."

Feng Guishou said: "Go to the riverside." The three of us fought and retreated, and Fatty Li gave us a lot of strength to fight against these zongzi.

However, before he retreated to the river, he saw a large sunny area in front of him, surrounded by dead branches and leaves, obviously cut down by someone.Heizi stood in the circle of light and beckoned to us: "Come here, come quickly." I wondered to myself when did Heizi be so smart that he knew how to cut off the branches to attract the light?Looking at Bai Zhanji who was sitting on the side, I reckoned that Bai Zhanji should have taught him the method.Bai Zhanji is really not an idiot, on the contrary he is very smart, it's a pity that he 'died' too early.

We immediately accelerated our evacuation and rushed into the sunlit area in one breath. Sure enough, those zongzi were afraid of the sun, so they didn't dare to go forward and just wandered around.Lu Su sat down on the ground, took off his shirt, revealing several scratched wounds on his body, and asked me to help apply medicine to bandage it.I put the gun on one end, and while treating the wound, I said, "Fortunately, it's not poisonous rice dumpling."

Lu Su looked at the tree branch that had been cut off above his head, and said to Heizi, "Well done, it's your fault this time."

Seeing that he could help everyone, Heizi was very excited, and said, "I'm just doing my best, it's Mr. Zhao's idea." Bai Zhanji sat with his back against a tree, with a sneer on his face all the time, disdainful to be with us.Seeing this, Lu Su thanked him, smiled slightly, and said no more.

Feng Guishou is not a bearer. Seeing that we have this 'aperture' body protection, he will fill up the magazine immediately and start shooting at those wandering zongzi. Since this time there is no rush and time to aim , Almost killed one by one, the bullets were all above the neck, the pieces of flesh were scattered everywhere, the breath of the corpse was released, and the forest was full of stench.

These old corpses can make holes, and they are different from ordinary scorpions. Soon, they seemed to know the danger, and slowly disappeared from our surroundings, perhaps returning to the grave.

At this moment, except for Bai Zhanji and Heizi, the rest of us are almost covered with minced meat, and the stench is unstoppable. This area is already very close to the river. Feng Guishou suggested to wash by the river. In this kind of place, It is safer to walk by the water than in the jungle.There is a grave hole in the back, and there is no idea what will be ahead, so he suggested that it is better to tie a raft and go into the water.

There is a saying that there are no mountains and no water, and rivers are constantly flowing. In the water, nothing can stay forever. Puzhen has the ability to do things on the shore, but he may not be able to do things in the water.Now it seems that it is safest to walk in the water. When we reach the second bend, if the water is unstable or there are some eddies and rapids, we may not lose anything if we abandon the boat and go ashore.

After everyone discussed, they immediately collected materials from the local area and began to cut down suitable tree trunks to build a raft. Our group are all people with strong hands-on ability. It is easy to build a raft, and the construction was completed in about two hours.When they reached the river with gnarled tree roots, they put the bamboo raft into the water, and Heizi steered the boat.

In their hometown, Heizi made a living by fishing. A dilapidated fishing boat with a long pole can cross the water surface. Now it is very exhausting to prop up the raft because it is against the current, but the raft is still Very steady.I can also punt, so Heizi and Heizi took turns to hold the pole. The raft moved forward on the river, with cliffs on one side and dense virgin jungle on the other. No matter how many crises there are, it has nothing to do with us on the water.At this moment, a muffled noise suddenly came from the ground, which caught our attention.

The sound came from a long distance behind us. I was startled and said, "It seems to be a gunshot?"

Lu Su squinted his eyes, with a smile on his lips, as if he was asking us, but also he seemed to be talking to himself: "Who could be shooting?" This place is deserted, and there are natural dangers blocking it. Besides us, who else is there? will come?What's more, not everyone can have a gun. The sudden sound of the gunshot really made people have to be more careful.

I thought to myself, this operation is considered secretive, no one will follow, right?
A few people flashed through my mind, including Tofu and Wen Min, but they all thought it was impossible, even if they wanted to follow, they couldn't find a place at all.

Standing on the raft, I couldn't help but look back. I could only see a big river, cliffs and a vast jungle. The gunshots came from the forest. Who could it be?

At this time, the raft has reached the second bend. On one side of the bend is a cliff, and on the other side is a group of trees covered by river water. This is a unique aquatic tree species in Yunnan. The position does not exceed the crown of the tree, and this kind of tree can grow in the water. Therefore, at this moment, the river surface is a large green area, like clusters of algae, which looks spectacular. Heizi understands water, took out the binoculars, and stood He went up to observe, and then said happily: "The water here is very good, there is no turbulence and whirlpool, we can continue to build rafts."

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, something suddenly appeared on the water in front of us: it was the old turtle with a human face.

I was taken aback, and thought to myself: How did it come here?
