Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 670 Set fire
After the two groups of us drew a clear line, we divided up our equipment and went our separate ways.I, Lazy, Cyclops and Red Hair, the four of us started looking for the big hole where 01 used to live according to the directions recorded in the notebook.It was not until the sunset in the afternoon that we arrived at that location.Due to the relatively large search area, we camped on the spot that night and prepared to start again in the daytime the next day.

At night, Harichagai touched his neck suddenly, and said that the thing on the back of his neck was very excited, and it seemed that 01 was indeed nearby.

Cyclops was a little worried, saying that 01 sensed the clone, would he crawl out at night?I said that if it could move, it would have moved a long time ago. It is estimated that it is in the stage of serious injury at the moment, so there should be no trouble.But just to be on the safe side, we still split into two shifts at night, and we lived in peace all night.

When I got up the next day, the weather seemed to be even colder. The surrounding area was filled with white mist, and the cold wind made the meadow rustle.We packed up the camp, each took a weapon, and started to search. Soon, in the middle of the meadow, I found some rotten wood. After a closer look, it turned out to be a rotten blackwood coffin.

Thinking of the contents recorded in the notebook, I estimated that the black hole should be nearby, so I groped for the location of the surrounding coffins and started to move forward.

These coffins were originally surrounded by circles, but because they were submerged by the growing grass, there was no way to see them on the outside.After groping along the encirclement of the coffin for a distance of about [-] meters, I took a stick in my hand and poked it empty.

I immediately said: "Stop, it's here."

Although the front is still densely covered with decaying grass, I know that the black hole is right in front of my feet.This realization made me take two steps back involuntarily.It's just that this big hole is completely covered with grass, and we can't see what's going on inside. In desperation, we took out our knives and started cleaning the surrounding grass.

But this hole is too big. It took more than 40 minutes. We just cleared a blank area around the hole. The weeds in the middle are about ten meters in diameter and full of weeds.When Cyclops saw this situation, he came up with a bad idea and said: "Let's cut more grass around the outside and leave a fire-proof belt out." I immediately understood that this guy was going to set fire to the grass in the hole. Burned.

His idea is quite good, but if he is not careful, it may cause a prairie fire, which is quite risky.In order to prevent accidents, we spent two hours cleaning out a hollow belt.The burning of the fire requires burning materials. We cleaned up all the grass about five meters outside the cave, so that the fire in the cave would not burn outside after burning.

At this moment, cold sweat started to break out on Harichagai's face, and with a heavy breath, he said, "It's getting excited, I can't control myself, and want to go into that hole. Hold me down." The lazy man smelled Yan Yan put a hand on Haricagai's shoulder. Although he couldn't see that he was exerting force, it was foreseeable that this hand would burst out with infinite force at the critical moment.

Immediately afterwards, Cyclops ignited a small piece of solid fuel and threw it to the edge of the hole.The burning flames quickly ignited the weeds moistened by the mist, and thick smoke billowed out. After a while, the fire covered the entire hole. In the ears of everyone, they immediately remembered the beeping sound when the grass was burning. The sound of beeping.

After the grass on the outer layer was burned, the fire gradually spread towards the inside of the cave. Everyone held their breath and listened carefully to the movement in the cave.At this moment, Hongmao suddenly let out a groan, and then, the whole person began to struggle.The moment he was struggling, Cyclops and I immediately rushed up and held him tightly.At the same time, the little hand on the back of his neck began to struggle non-stop, twisting as if trying to grasp something.

As it twisted, the expression on Harichagai's face became more and more painful, and I felt a little thumping in my heart. Is this method useful?Don't wait for this parasitic thing to leave, and then destroy people.As soon as this thought flashed across my mind, I suddenly noticed that his neck began to bleed, and the thing that grew on the back of his neck began to slowly pull out.The part pulled out from the flesh is covered with countless hair-thin things, which looks very terrifying.

It was similar to what was described in the diary, the sound seemed to be a giant panting, and due to the spread of the hole, the sound became louder, as if some giant was about to come out of the ground.

01 This kind of animal is too weird, and I don't know how it came about.

At this time, the only one who was able to move was Lazy. He looked at Haricagai, then squatted down and opened his equipment bag, and took out a pack of explosives from the bag.

This explosive should be our most explosive weapon, but I don't know if it will be useful to deal with the injured 01.

I stared straight at Harichagai's neck, and there was more and more blood. In the end, the baby's arm-like thing came out completely, and then quickly burrowed into the burning pit.I didn't care about other things, and quickly said to Cyclops: "Get the medicine quickly and treat the wound."

After all the tossing, Harichagai was sweating profusely and lay limp on the ground. Cyclops and I immediately treated his wound, and the lazy guy immediately threw the explosives away after he jumped into the fire pit go in.

"Bang!" After a loud noise, countless earth and rocks were blasted out, and the ground seemed to shake for a while. Then, the fire disappeared, and the huge panting sound disappeared, leaving only the sound of the cold wind whistling in the world.

At this time, Harichagai's wound was also healed, and I asked Cyclops to carry him on his back and prepared to retreat.

I don't know if the explosion, the following things have been finished.Subconsciously, I think that 01 should not be killed so easily. After all, seeing the ruins of that base, I can imagine the situation at that time. Things that were not destroyed by bombing. How could we kill it with a pack of explosives? ?
The few of us looked down from the edge of the cave, and the depths were still pitch black, and we couldn't see anything clearly.I said: "It looks like I'm stunned, let's take this opportunity and leave quickly."

The lazy man nodded, and put the two knives back into the sheath in his hand, and then, at the moment when the two knives were sheathed, a black thing suddenly protruded from the ground for several days.Those things came too fast, although I didn't have time to see their appearance clearly, but I can deduce that these eight achievements are those tentacles of 01.The next moment, the feet of the three of us were bound, and a great force came from the thing that bound our feet. In an instant, we fell towards the hole.

"Ah..." I don't know whose voice it was, maybe my own. At the moment when I fell into the darkness, two words flashed in my mind: It's over.

If he fell like this, he would either fall to his death or be killed by 01.

To my surprise, what greeted us was not a hard ground, but a layer of soft things.The thing that wrapped my feet hadn't been loosened yet. In the darkness, I heard the sound of a one-eyed dragon scolding my mother. Then, a flashlight lit up, and it was the lazy guy who turned on the miniature searchlight on his waist.

Just looking at the light, I discovered that the ground under our bodies is actually a layer of soft black mud. It is probably the soft mud formed by the rainwater flowing down.

The four of us fell into a ball at this moment, and the lazy guy had already drawn out his two knives at this moment, staring at the front.The miniature searchlight is hung on the waist, and the light is not too big. Looking along the place where the light shines, we can see a black shadow not far in front of us.

The shadow was not too big, like a dog curled up in a corner, but the thing wrapping around our ankles stretched out from where the shadow was.At this moment, I suddenly felt my ankle tighten, and then I was pulled towards that black shadow by this force.

Damn, are you going to eat me first?
The moment I saw that black shadow, I knew that 01 was no longer what it used to be. The huge monster described in the notebook was now only the size of a dog.As I was pulled over, Lazy also quickly followed, apparently trying to save me.As he approached, the light of the searchlight also drew closer. At this moment, I finally saw the whole picture of the black figure.

The moment I saw this thing, I felt goosebumps all over my body.This thing looks like a human head, to be precise, it looks like a fragment of a huge human head that was blown apart.It's dark and greasy, half of it is shriveled, and the other half is squirming greasy things in the wound that was blown open, and I can't see what it is. It feels like rotting internal organs piled up on the wound. and squirming slightly.

The strange thing is that this thing is not smelly, it seems to have no smell, and there is only a slight decaying smell of mud in the whole hole.These tentacles grew from behind the pile of debris.After I was pulled closer, the tentacles quickly moved up my trousers, and reached my butt in an instant.

What the hell is it doing?
I just felt my muscles tense, and I struggled subconsciously. At this moment, the lazy man's black knife arrived, and he slashed down with a sharp knife, splitting the hand that was entangled with me in two.Due to the break, the hand that was inserted into my trousers was temporarily silent. I knew that it would come back to life after a while, so I quickly pulled it out of the pant leg and threw it towards the rotten meat in front of me.

At this moment, the lazy man cut off the tentacles of himself and the one-eyed dragon at an extremely fast speed, and then he said: "It's a piece of rotten meat, there is nothing to be afraid of!" He rushed to the front, the two knives moved quickly, like chopping melons and vegetables, chopping at the lump, and the pieces of meat splattered all over the place, not to mention how disgusting it was.

I thought of the horrible regenerative ability of this thing, so I quickly took out the solid fuel. When the lazy guy pulled away, the burning solid fuel had already been stained with the pile of chopped-up meat that was still wriggling. In an instant, The flames burst into flames.Most of the underground was surrounded by flames, and we immediately retreated to the other side.

Seeing the raging fire, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The one-eyed dragon said: "Fortunately, only rotten meat is left after this thing was blown up, otherwise it would be a disaster, huh..." While speaking, he seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly looked at the dark place on the right, saying: " What it is?"
