Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 553
I was holding on to the iron chain with both hands, but as soon as these strange birds took off, they began to attack us. They pecked a big bloody gash on my arm, and the pain caused me to withdraw my hands quickly. When I came out, I immediately let go of my hand, pulled out the paratrooper knife at my waist, and hung on the iron chain by the safety buckle at my waist, and my legs kept kicking to stop those strange birds that wanted to peck my legs .

In just an instant, everyone fell into an unprecedented crisis. Almost everyone was in the same situation as me. They took out the most convenient weapon to resist, and the iron chain shook violently. I held the paratrooper knife to resist the monster. The bird's attack caused flesh and blood to fly all over for a while, and black shadows moved in front of him, and no one could see the shadows of other people.In a hurry, someone yelled: "There are more and more, what should I do... Ah!" Before the words finished, there was a scream.

"What's the matter?" I asked while waving my dagger to fend off these strange birds, what I said just now seemed to be fire, what happened to him?
At this moment, the surroundings were extremely chaotic, and no one responded to me, but I guess the fire was an accident.In front of me are Zhong Gong and Zhuan Rui, and behind me are Tofu and Wen Min. Now the strange bird is rising, and I can no longer see their people.Even though the knife in his hand kept slashing, he couldn't hold back Bird Duo, and it didn't take long for his body to hurt everywhere, all from being pecked out.If I am like this, let alone Wenmin and tofu.

In desperation, I called out their names and asked how they were doing.Wen Min's voice came intermittently from behind him, and he said hoarsely: "It's not an option to go on like this, hurry up, back up, we have to go back into the cave!"

But Tofu didn't respond to me at all, and my heart shuddered, did something happen to him?

I'm just worried, don't talk about saving people at this moment, I can't protect myself, after Wen Min finished speaking, I quickly analyzed the situation in front of me while defending against these strange birds.If things go on like this, sooner or later we will try our best to finish playing and become the prey of these strange birds. The only way now is as Wen Min said, the only way to save our lives is to go back to the cave.But humans only have two hands, and there are too many strange birds. We barely resisted with both hands and feet. If we want to retreat to the hole, we have to use both hands to move back. If there is no resistance, it will inevitably lead to death.

For a while, things fell into a dilemma. Could it be that our group came here aggressively, and we were going to die here before we entered the door?I felt a surge of despair.

No, I can't let Wen Min and Tofu die here, and I can't implicate Zhuan Rui and the others.

Suddenly, I remembered that I still had solid fuel in my equipment bag. It is the nature of all animals to be afraid of fire. Maybe I can use this.

Immediately, I immediately gave up resisting, lowered my head to avoid burning my eyes, and then touched the equipment bag with my backhand.Since my eyes were closed at the moment, and it was hanging in the air and shaking constantly, when the equipment bag was opened, a lot of equipment fell down, so I quickly touched the solid fuel, took it out immediately, and moved to my waist After inserting the probe in the middle, he took out the lighter.

The whole process took only about ten seconds, and I had countless wounds on my body, and as the lighter was ignited, the solid fuel on the probe suddenly exploded into a fireball, and suddenly, the strange birds around me were startled or As I descended, or ascended, the feathers of the ones that were closer to me were instantly ignited, turning into firebirds screaming and flying around, causing a burst of confusion.

My surroundings were suddenly surrounded by the flames.

The rest of the people probably saw the light of the fire, and they reacted one after another, then they heard Zhong Gong, who couldn't see anyone in front of me, yell: "Light up the fire."

After a while, everyone lit up the fire one after another. Immediately afterwards, I had a probe in my mouth, my teeth trembled, and I moved my hands quickly and retreated quickly. Wherever I went, the strange birds immediately scattered.There was no solid fuel in Wen Min's bag, so she got close to me. When I retreated to her, the strange birds surrounding her also scattered.Soon, everyone retreated into the cave covered in blood, and piled up all the fuel at the entrance of the cave.

The birds outside the cave fluttered their wings, but were blocked by the flames. Our group sat in the cave covered in blood, feeling weak and powerless for a while.Until this moment, I suddenly realized that I didn't seem to see the tofu in the process of fleeing for my life.

Thinking of this, my eyes immediately swept across the crowd, and at this moment, I found that the fire that had screamed before was gone, and besides that, the tofu, white chopped chicken, and Fatty Li were all gone.

What about people?

Wen Min, who was covered in blood, and I looked at each other, and felt scalp numb.

At this time, I saw Lei Zi hugging his head in pain, and said: "...his eyes were pecked, and then..." I knew that he was talking about fire, so I didn't want to mention how uncomfortable I felt for a while.

In contrast, Mute, Zhuan Rui and the others who were better injured were less injured, and they also found that there were four people missing in the team.

Not surprisingly, the fire must have been...

What about the tofu?

I remember that at that time, Wen Min was followed by Tofu, behind Tofu was Bai Zhanji and Li Fatty, and behind them were Feng Guishou and Zhuan Rui's two subordinates.

Tofu is too bad, could it be...

At this time, Zhuan Rui looked at the hole blocked by the fire, put his hand on my shoulder, and said, "The matter is still unclear, don't worry."

I smiled wryly, and accepted Zhuan Rui's kindness, but how could I not be in a hurry, and recalled the situation just now.I just remembered that the only weapon on Tofu's body was a pistol, but I didn't hear any gunshots at all just now.

But at this time, the sound of the birds flapping their wings outside gradually decreased, and after a few minutes, the sound disappeared completely.

At this time, the solid fuel was almost burned, we put out the fire, and hurried to the entrance of the cave to look down, where could we see anything? .

Tofu……

Rao Wen Min has always been strong, but at this moment tears welled up in his eyes, he was a little confused, and said: "What should I do, Xiaodou won't have already..." In the middle of the sentence, he stopped abruptly and said: "It's not right, The man surnamed Li is the messenger, so he should not be so easy to get into trouble."

Wen Min's last sentence caught my attention, yes, Fatty Li is a messenger, and these strange birds should not pose a threat to him. Under the circumstances at that time, he must have been the first to successfully escape with a white chicken.It's just that the situation was too chaotic at the time, and we couldn't see it at all.

Moreover, the tofu was just in front of them, and it disappeared along with it. Could it be that it was taken away by Fatty Li and the others?

Wen Min went on to say: "I haven't heard Xiaodou make a sound. You think, if it is really in distress, there must be screams?" I nodded, thinking that Wen Min's guess was very likely.Zhong Gong heard what we said, and said angrily: "That old boy is really hateful, he ran away by himself at a critical moment."

I said: "He's not in the same group. He probably wanted to run away a long time ago. Seeing such an opportunity, he wished that our entire army would be wiped out, so why would he come to our rescue?" When it comes to trouble, most of them have nothing to do with themselves, just stand by and watch, and it's not bad if they don't make trouble.

Everyone was covered in blood at the moment, so they had to clean up their wounds first. The drinking water they carried was almost exhausted. In addition, when they were fetching solid fuel, the situation was similar. They lost some equipment more or less, and they were even more angry for a while. .Because of Huo's death, Bai Sanye's subordinates were very angry, and Lei Zi couldn't care less about pity for her, so he vented all his anger on the Fusang woman, kicked and beat him angrily, and scolded: "It's all this stinky woman!" The girls are screaming and causing those plague gods, I will not beat you to death today."

The Fusang woman was also injured indistinctly, her body was bloody, and no one healed her. Now that she was being kicked and beaten, she breathed less air and vented more, and there was no scream, only a low voice could be heard. Weak moan.

Wen Min couldn't stand it, and stopped him: "Don't beat her, she has lost a lot of blood, she is dying, she is dying, let her go." The strange bird was pecked and suffered severe blood loss. Even if we wanted to save her, we were powerless.

Hearing what Wen Min said, Lei Zi gave a cold snort and stopped.

For a moment, there was a dead silence in the cave, and the mute glanced around the crowd and said, "Check the equipment."

At this moment, our camp can be seen clearly. I, Wen Min, Zhuan Rui, Zhong Gong and his two subordinates are sitting in the back of the cave, while Dumb and his men are sitting on the other side. , only Feng Guishou sat alone on one side, looking very unhappy.

The Fusang woman lay prone on the ground, trembling slightly. Suddenly, she opened her eyes. In fact, from the beginning to the end, her face was always dirty and her cheeks were thin and out of shape, so she couldn't see her face clearly. At this moment, when she opened her eyes, she could clearly see the brilliance in her eyes.

A word popped into my head: backlight.

This woman is dying.

Her gaze slowly swept across all of us, and it was really not pleasant to be glanced at by a dying person, I just felt my heart whizzing.But at this time, her eyes stopped on the dumb body, her eyes trembled violently, and after a while, her mouth began to chatter again, which was completely incomprehensible to everyone.

And what she said this time, obviously contained a lot of information. I saw the mute's expressionless face, the corners of his eyes twitched violently, and he suddenly approached the Fusang woman.And at the moment when the mute approached, the Fusang woman's eyes widened, her eyebrows raised, and the corners of her mouth twitched. She died like this.

Wen Min gasped and said hoarsely, "She... she was scared to death."

Scared to death?
My heart skipped a beat, and I looked at Wen Min. Wen Min nodded, and said in a hurried voice, "I've been a policeman for many years, and I've seen many corpses. I can't be wrong. She looks like she was frightened to death just now. She, She was scared to death by Wu Shui."
