Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 81 Conscience
Tofu had already run away, but at the critical moment, he mustered up the courage to turn around and save me.His eyes were a little red, and his fierceness was also aroused. Seeing that I was not moving, he suddenly shouted: "I can't hold it anymore! Don't be dazed!"

I said: "Which eye of yours saw me in a daze, and threw the shovel to me!" Although I was carrying a bag, there were corpses coming to pull me from all directions, their slippery arms, wrapped in corpse oil , as if trying to pull me into a deeper place and bury me alive, just fighting them is exhausting, so there is no chance to get the weapons in the backpack.

To deal with these hard zongzi that suddenly burst into corpses, pistols are useless, and cold weapons are needed to work.I'm not Lu Su, and I don't have a steel knife, so I can only use a shovel instead. After yelling, Tofu immediately said: "Go on!" He threw the shovel in his hand at me, and I reached out and held it in my hand inside.

Tofu is inflexible and clumsy to use the shovel. When I was a child, I was the best at playing big sticks. When I got the shovel, I slashed left and right. The corpses on both sides were all smashed to pieces. So he used the shovel as a fulcrum, and with a push, the whole person got rid of the corpse and got up, and then exerted force on the ghost path, and his body jumped up.

This series of actions happened almost in an instant, and Tofu was stunned, and murmured: "Brother, it's ok, I've known you for so many years, and you've been hiding everything, this skill... tsk tsk."

I said: "You don't know many things. Without two brushes, would I have dared to go to the deep mountains to dig 'heizhen' and dump 'mountain ginseng'?" I lied to Gu Wenmin before that I and tofu came from the mountains As for digging ginseng, in fact, I did resell ginseng before.If you want to talk about the industries I have worked in, there are too many industries. Construction sites, waiters, security guards, fresh fish sales, reselling wild ginseng, reselling electronic products, selling parallel imports, and now digging graves. It's all about practice.

Relying on the shovel of tofu to escape, I went to the ghost way, looked down, all the corpses were already moving, Feng Guishou was even worse, he is good at tricks, but not good at dealing with these hard zongzi, and fell into a funeral He kept struggling in the pit and couldn't even get up. His body was covered in corpse oil. At first glance, he seemed to be one with those corpses.

These corpses are very strange. They neither bite nor jump at people, but like to grab people, grab people's arms and ankles, and then pull people down, as if they want to drag people into the bottom of the funeral pit and suffocate them to death.

Seeing that Feng Guishou was about to suffer, Tofu said, "No, we have to save him."

But the situation is too critical at this time. Although we are on the ghost path, there are already many corpses crawling up the ghost path and grabbing our ankles. Empty to save Feng Guishou?With the increasing number of corpses, seeing that both ends of the ghost road are about to be occupied by these green rice dumplings, if they don't leave, it may be too late.Thinking of this, my heart darkened, I gritted my teeth, grabbed Tofu's hand, and said, "Let's go!"

Tofu was startled, and said, "Old Chen, what are you talking about, don't you save him?"

I said: "Don't say I have a dark heart, of course you can save me, but the current situation does not allow it, this is not the time to act emotionally, everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, and don't care about the frost on others!"

Tofu said angrily: "You were not such a person before!"

I said: "I was also a kind seed before, but after a few heavy rains, I drowned. Don't talk nonsense, and you don't have to feel bad about your conscience. When you think about it later, you will say that I forced you. Save him now, How to save? Do you have a solution? If we stay here, we will all die. Let’s go!" In a sense, I am indeed more ruthless than Tofu in terms of doing things.At this moment, there are already many green corpses crawling on the ghost path, some wriggling, some standing, all kinds of strange, ghostly walking towards us.

Tofu and I ran all the way and waved the shovel all the way. We couldn't see each other's faces clearly. We could only see each other's blood-red eyes and faces covered with corpse oil. At this moment, Feng Guishou, who was struggling in the funeral pit, suddenly screamed Said: "Help!" I turned my head and saw that his limbs had been subdued by the things in the sacrificial pit. To be buried alive.

Hearing this, Tofu couldn't restrain himself any longer, and said angrily, "He saved you just now!"

At this moment, I can only force myself to remain calm, and said in a deep voice, "I know."

Tofu said: "One must live up to one's conscience and not be ungrateful! I can't watch him die before our eyes, we have to save people."

I said: "The result of saving someone is to die with him! Go, it's too late."

Tofu didn't listen, and ran back. It seemed that he wanted to jump down to save others.I just felt an unknown fire rushing straight to my head, and even had an urge to tear him apart, so I couldn't help but shouted: "Dou Bozhi, when will you stop being so emotional! Conscience is more important than fate , Conscience is worth a damn money!" As soon as I finished speaking, Tofu had already jumped down to save people, and I could only run back.

In fact, I knew in my heart that this time I was sorry for Feng. If he hadn't saved my life with buffalo horns before, I don't know what would have happened later, but if he was so emotional like Tofu, I'm afraid that both of us would die here.Feng, who has been digging mushrooms for so many years, is not a good guy in himself, and he will not be wronged if he dies.

Tofu and I have very different opinions on certain issues. He is a typical good young man. At least in terms of character, he is indeed much nobler than me, and he can even sacrifice himself at critical moments.But I'm sorry, I haven't read many books, so these noble qualities are of little use to me.

But I can make up my mind to feel sorry for Feng Guishou, but I can't make up my mind to abandon Tofu and escape alone. There are many things that I can do without conscience, but I can't be sorry for the brother who has been helping me by my side.After roaring angrily, I had no choice but to rush up and jump into the corpse pit.

Tofu was responsible for pulling out Feng Gui's hand, and I was responsible for dealing with the corpses pouring up around me. There was no chance to speak during the whole process.

I don't know if these corpses are conscious or not. They were originally just pulling people, but as the tofu dug out Feng Gui's hands, they seemed to be robbed of food, and they became crazy in an instant and became aggressive. I didn't pay attention. A piece of his shoulder was grabbed, and he scratched his heart and liver in pain.At this time, Feng Guishou got help and stood up. He was very skilled, and he easily supported the ghost road and jumped up, but in the end he ignored me and Tofu and ran away.

Tofu was furious, and cursed: "That old thing is too heartless!"

My eyes turned black from the pain, and I said in a hoarse voice: "I told you earlier, conscience is worthless." Seeing that I was injured, Tofu regretted endlessly, and his eyes became bloodshot in an instant. The corpse that came over was missing arms and legs, and said, "Blame me, Lao Chen, I will bear it first, you support my shoulders, hurry up and run for your life!"

escape?I looked at the ghost road that had been occupied by all kinds of weird dead bodies, and couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Where are we going? We have no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth now." Tofu seemed to think of something, and suddenly said : "No, these corpses seem to come out because of the things in the cauldron. If we kill the things in the cauldron, maybe..."

After his reminder, I came to my senses instantly and said, "Xiaodou, hold on, let me think of a way."

Tofu blocked my surroundings, and I was willing to go all out, and I didn't feel sick even if I was covered in rotten meat, just like the advent of gods and demons.I got this moment of respite, and couldn't help but look up at the corpse tripod above my head. It trembled slightly, as if something was about to come out of it. The sound of fighting and the sounds of the surrounding corpses were covered up a lot.

The cauldron is about ten meters high from me, how should I destroy it?

I quickly sift through the tools in my hand, and then I thought of one thing: a 21-section movable shovel.
