Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 65 Infighting
Fatty Lin said with a sinister smile: "Boy, you are very talkative. Today, the uncle will let you see what is upright." After finishing speaking, the pistol in his hand was thrown at Tofu, and Tofu's entire face was covered. They were all beaten away, bleeding from the corners of their mouths, hissing in pain and gasping for air.

When I saw this, I was immediately angry, and I didn't think about anything. Taking advantage of the fact that Fatty Lin and the two were completely unaware, I immediately raised the shotgun, pointed it at Fatty Lin's back, and was about to pull the trigger. The beauty seemed to have eyes on the back of her head, she turned around suddenly, stared at where I was, and shouted: "Who is sneaking around there, let me get out!" She said, but suddenly raised her pistol Aim at me.

This woman was ruthless, she pulled the trigger while she was speaking, and didn't give me a chance to breathe. In the nick of time, I rolled sideways to hide, but at this moment, there was a loud noise above my head , Looking up, I only felt that my legs were weak. It turned out that right above my head, at some point, there was a big colorful snake.

It turned out that the little beauty Ren didn't find me, but saw the big snake on the branch above my head.

It was right above my head at the moment, and I was so scared that I dared not move.I thought to myself, God, why are there so many snakes in this place.What ghost king meets dragon, ghost king meets snake is almost the same.

The little beauty Ren shot at the big flower snake several times, but the snake moved very fast, it was very difficult to aim, and seemed to hold a grudge, after swimming down the tree, it turned a blind eye to me hiding aside, Instead, he fiercely walked towards Ren Xiaomei and the two of them.

The big snake is colorful, and it is very poisonous at first glance.Tofu has always been most afraid of snakes, insects, rats and ants. He was tied to a tree trunk with trembling legs and howled dryly: "Help, help!"No matter how good the marksmanship of Fatty Lin and the two is, they are helpless against this nimble poisonous snake. What's more, there are more poisonous snakes swimming out of the grass, staring at Fatty Lin and Xiaomei Ren, as if they were interested in me and Xiaomei Ren. Not interested in tofu.

This is a bit strange. Could it be that even these snakes can tell that Tofu and I are good people?
Fatty Lin's expression changed when so many snakes came out, and he said in horror, "They...how did they target the two of us?"

Ren Xiaomei didn't shoot at this moment, her expression was not good, and she said: "In Jinmai, have you touched the thing on that snake?" Fatty Lin seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly touched his arms, horrified. Said: "No, that thing disappeared!"

Ren Xiaomei's face suddenly became gloomy, and she cursed: "I told you not to covet that kind of thing. That thing will melt when it is heated, and you have the smell of human snakes on you, and all the snakes nearby will treat you. Attack!"

Although I don't know what they are talking about, I understand it when I hear this. It seems that Fatty Lin took some objects from the snake's corpse, and it was contaminated with the breath of the snake. That's why he was besieged by the snakes .

It seems that although the man-snake is called a snake, it is actually the enemy of snakes.

At this time, Fatty Lin was confused and said in a panic, "What should I do? What should I do? You should think of a way." Ren Xiaomei suddenly smiled, her delicate face was like a blooming spring flower, and in her ruddy lips, But softly spit out a chilling sentence: "You are contaminated with the smell of human snakes, and following me is also a burden, why don't you just rest here."

"You..." Fatty Lin reacted, his expression changed drastically, and he raised his gun to shoot, but Ren Xiaomei took the first step, with extremely accurate marksmanship, and hit Fatty Lin's chest with one shot.

A burst of blood splashed, Fatty Lin screamed, the pistol slipped, and the body fell to the ground with a bang. The poisonous snake that was a little closer immediately rushed to bite.Ren Xiaomei took advantage of this moment of respite and ran away immediately, only the remaining tofu was still tied to the tree.

At this moment, there were poisonous snakes all around me, but they had no interest in me, and they all gathered on Fatty Lin's body. I immediately jumped out of the bushes, untied the rope from Tofu's body, dragged him and ran away without saying a word.Unexpectedly, at this moment, a hand suddenly grabbed Tofu's ankle, and we both looked down, but it was Fatty Lin, with his eyes wide open, his body twitching non-stop, and there was a flower snake in his mouth While drilling in, a strange sound came out of his throat, as if he was saying, help.

Tofu gasped, and said, "Shall we save people?"

Without saying a word, I kicked Fatty Lin away holding Tofu's hand, picked up the pistol that fell on the ground, and shot him directly in the forehead. Crooked, out of breath.

Tofu was greatly stimulated, and I dragged him all the way back to the previous campsite. The kid hadn't recovered yet, and said tremblingly, "Old Chen, you, you killed someone."

I kicked him, and said coldly: "Even if I don't shoot him, he won't survive. I'm doing a good deed, and sending him on his way will save him from suffering."

Tofu probably understood it too, so he didn't worry about the issue of my shooting. With a swollen face, Gao Gao said with a look of lingering fear, "That person named Ren, unexpectedly... can even attack his own accomplices." , Does she have a conscience?"

I looked at Tofu's greatly irritated appearance, and couldn't help saying: "Conscience is nothing in front of interests. People are like this. When there is nothing wrong with each other, when they can help each other, they can be called brothers and friends; when disaster is imminent, I feel that you are a burden." When it's useless, it can be kicked aside, stabbing the knife as you like. The woman's behavior is also in my expectation, if she can save Fatty Lin, it will be a surprise."

Tofu's expression has already calmed down. Hearing this, he glanced at me and said slowly: "Your idea is too extreme, and there are some people who don't care about benefits. At the beginning of human beings, nature is good. Your statement is a bit psychological. Twisted, I'm going to refute you."

I said: "The rebuttal is useless. Well, let's not worry about those two people, it's none of our business. Time is running out, so hurry up and try to climb over the mountain before nightfall."

Tofu and I stopped thinking about Fatty Lin and started to climb the towering green hill in front of us.Tofu likes to talk nonsense on weekdays, but today he was probably stimulated, so he hurried along the road without saying a word.When night was approaching, we reached the top of the mountain, but it was already dark, and when we looked at the place where the phoenix turned its neck, there was only darkness left, and we couldn't see anything clearly.

The two of us found a leeward hollow in the cave and built a campfire for the night.

I usually think that Tofu talks a lot, but now he doesn't say a word, and I feel unaccustomed to it. Just as I wanted to enlighten him, I heard Tofu say solemnly: "Old Chen, your thinking is not good, you have to be more sunny." Son."

I thought to myself, so this kid was still thinking about the day's affairs. Before I could speak, Tofu glanced at me and muttered, "I feel a little fuzzy when you say that during the day."

I was a little puzzled, thinking to myself what is this kid thinking about?So he asked, "What did you do wrong?"

Doufu cried and said, "I can't help you, and you always act as a burden. How do I feel? You're talking about me."

I couldn't help being amused by him, and said: "So you still have self-knowledge, since you don't want to be a burden, shouldn't you show it?" Tofu said: "How to show it?"

I lifted my chin, gestured to the pheasant that had just been caught, and said, "Kill the chicken, so I can save my worries and eat something ready-made."

Tofu looked at the pheasant, then at me, and finally sat cross-legged, put his hands together, and said: "Amitabha, monks are merciful and do not kill." I know his temperament very well. Don't dare to kill, but never soft-mouthed when eating.

I knew that it was unreliable to rely on him, so I cut the neck of the chicken to let the blood out, disemboweled it, washed it and peeled it clean, and roasted it on the fire.Although it was summer, the night on the top of the mountain was very cold, so we took turns to rest after filling our stomachs.

It was tofu that kept watch in the middle of the night. As soon as I lay down, I fell asleep in the dark.The exhaustion during the day makes people completely relax in their sleep, and they don't know anything about external affairs.I don't know how long it took, Tofu shook me a few times to wake me up, indicating that the shift was about to change. I looked at the watch on my wrist, it was two o'clock in the morning.After taking over the tofu shift, I sat by the fire to warm up, and snored as soon as the tofu fell down.
