Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 244

"I have to go now, I don't have much time left."

Upon hearing the gunshot, the young man simply shook his head, turned around, and walked away.

Ultimately, right now, it's about Xiao Ge and Wu Xie.
Hmm, it's only our first meeting.

It's not a matter of whether I care or not.

Besides, even if Wu Xie is more important, isn't his "Uncle Ming" here?
It's not up to the delivery guy to worry about that; he has important things to do.

"Okay, go ahead, I'll go check on my poor nephew. I hope he's not too scared."

Hu Ming nodded and turned to leave.

Not long after the two left, Lian Ci Kongzhai's voice suddenly rang out again in the passage.

Countless densely packed, bluish-black corpse beetles surged out from the dedicated passage below, heading in one direction.

Meanwhile, from some hidden openings in the walls of the passage, green "snakes" crawled out, twisting and waving their branches in the air.

It was a scene of utter chaos.

At this moment, Hu Ming was walking alone in the deathly silent tomb passage.

The tomb passages here are interconnected, like a maze, and Hu Ming doesn't have a detailed map of the place.

But Hu Ming has the skill of "identifying acupoints by listening to thunder"!
The continuous gunfire and the occasional screams were enough for Hu Ming to determine his direction.

Thump, thump, thump!
and many more!
Suddenly, Hu Ming opened his eyes, his brows furrowing deeply.

In another direction, in a completely opposite direction to where Wu Xie and his group were located.

There were footsteps approaching, two sets of footsteps, one in front and one behind?
One of them was a hurried, panicked voice.

And the other sound... why does it sound like the stiff, rhythmic footsteps of a rice dumpling?
Are there any other living people inside this tomb besides them?
After thinking about it, it seemed there really was one! Hu Ming decisively changed his direction.

As for the eldest nephew?
Hi!
He's the "protagonist," after all; destiny is on his side. How could he die so easily?
Although in the original story, it was Brother Xiao who saved them like a divine intervention.

But
He's the main character, after all. Even without Xiao Ge, he'd only suffer a bit, not die, right?
Hu Ming thought to himself without any psychological burden.

Before long, Hu Ming slowly walked into a narrow and hard-to-find tomb passage.

Leaning against the wall, he was hidden in the shadows.

I'm playing with this... ten-cash coin in my hand!
He looked with a somber expression toward the side passage, where he saw the back of a woman frantically fleeing ahead.

It's Aning.

Hu Ming suddenly realized that this ten-cash copper coin was one that A Ning always wore on her wrist.

"It's been a full half month since they went into the tomb. It's really remarkable that they've survived until now!"

Looking at the male figure in combat camouflage closely following behind Aning, Hu Ming couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

Her former companion suddenly turned into a zombie and was determined to kill her.

In addition, they spent half a month in this dark, maze-like underground tomb.

Ah Ning's nerves must be nearing their limit; she's probably on the verge of a breakdown, right?
However, Hu Ming had no intention of showing up to see A Ning at this time.

Although Aning is indeed beautiful, she also possesses a brave and heroic spirit that most women do not have.

Hu Ming's impression of A Ning was mostly from a certain TV series that was heavily criticized.

The one played by Tang Yan, A Ning.

Yes, it's that idiot Wu Xie who's determined to hand over the treasure he risked his life to dig out of the ground to the country.

There were also some inexplicable additions like the "high-class" version and Chen Chengcheng's version. Back then, after watching this series because of the reputation of "The Lost Tomb," Hu Ming only had a million "mmp"s in his mind.

Shaking his head, Hu Ming pulled his thoughts back from complaining.

At this moment, Aning had already turned around and disappeared at the fork in the road ahead.

Snapped!
Lighting a cigarette, Hu Ming slipped out of the passage, his figure as swift as smoke, silently appearing behind the zombie.

Click~
A cracking sound of bones popping rang out.

The zombie's neck had been easily snapped by Hu Ming.

A 180-degree turn.

It twisted its face, which had begun to rot and in some places exposed its white bones, from the front to its back.
The dead can no longer die.

Incidentally, I also remembered the stamped number on its belt—**!
This is a string of coded numbers.

It was deciphered by Qiu Dekao from a scroll of silk.

The scroll of silk was, of course, the one that had been tricked out of Master Gou Wu half a century ago.

Hu Ming glanced in the direction Ah Ning had left, exhaled a smoke ring, chuckled softly, and turned to leave.

Now is not the time to deal with Qiu Dekao and his gang.

As for whether Aning can successfully escape from the tomb.

That has nothing to do with Hu Ming.

Just now, Hu Ming had faintly heard Wu Xie's screams.

"Panzi, you son of a bitch, are you trying to castrate me?"

Hu Ming's expression was somewhat subtle.

These two are really going wild!
And this is still inside a tomb, why couldn't they resist going to such lengths?
hiss~
If Fifth Master Dog found out, wouldn't he fly into a rage and slap Wu Xie, that unfilial descendant, to death?
With a strange smile, Hu Ming jogged toward the direction from which the sound came.

At this moment, Hu Ming was standing at the entrance of the tomb passage in mid-air, looking at the scene below.

Wu Xie switched jobs to become a glorious "cover-up" member, jumping around with a dark expression on his face.

Panzi, with a dark expression, held his gun and warily looked around at the approaching swarm of corpse stingers.

Beside them, a fair-skinned, chubby man dressed in a rat costume looked at the two of them with a strange expression.

This is the tomb raider who looks a bit like Wang Banyue, one of the Iron Triangle.

There was a brass-colored bullet casing at Wu Xie's feet.

"Tsk, nephew, I could hear your screams from far away."

"So, you don't like women, you just like strong men like Panzi? Hmm~ Don't worry, Uncle Ming, I won't tell your third uncle."

Hu Ming leaped down from the hole in mid-air and landed right in the middle of the three.

In an instant, the swarm of corpse beetles around the three of them began to flee in panic, clearing a circular space of about two meters in diameter in the blink of an eye.

"Uncle Ming? Help me!!"

Wu Xie's face darkened, but he couldn't care less about that now and hurriedly asked for help.

He had witnessed the power of the young man's precious blood in that pile of corpses before.

The deliveryman also mentioned that Hu Ming's blood had the same effect...
