Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 291 Gunfight
Beyond these three murals of forbidden women lies the end of the spiral passage.

A large white marble gate stood there, blocking the way.

Hu Ming placed two fingers on the door and closed his eyes to carefully sense it.

With exceptionally sharp fingers, he traced every inch of the door and the area around it.

No matter how ingenious and subtle the design of the internal mechanisms was, they could not escape the perception of Hu Ming's fingers.

He recalled the experience and skills that mechanical arts had given him.

Suddenly, Hu Ming's lips curled up; he had found the mechanism to open the door.

Wang Zanghai's tomb is now in sight!
He clenched his right fist, aimed at a spot on the door frame, and prepared to strike.

He heard other sounds; did that mean the Wang family had already entered the main burial chamber?
That's quite fast.

Although Hu Ming and Yin Nanfeng were inevitably slowed down on the way due to some things.

However, guided by his intuition, Hu Ming did not take any detours and proceeded straight towards the main burial chamber.

But the Wang family members were even faster than him, which means...

It turns out that the Wang family had a detailed record of the underwater tomb's structure within their clan.

Thinking of this, Hu Ming couldn't help but reveal a malicious smile.

That smile sent chills down Yin Nanfeng's spine.

Instinctively, Yin Nanfeng crossed her arms and looked at Hu Ming warily.

"Uncle Ming, what are you doing?"

"I'm warning you, I'm your niece, so don't you dare do anything reckless!"

Even if I can't beat you or fight back, could you please not be in this godforsaken place?

Yin Nanfeng had clearly misunderstood something; she had completely misinterpreted Hu Ming's malicious smile.

just
This girl has such a vivid inner monologue; she's a natural-born drama queen!
"Tsk! Hey Nanfeng, what are you thinking? What nonsense are you talking about? And don't do it here!"

"You're not actually lusting after my stunning good looks, are you? Damn it! I treat you like a niece!!!"

Hu Ming raised an eyebrow, looking at Yin Nanfeng's strange expression—a mixture of confusion and anticipation, anticipation and a hint of excitement—and couldn't help but complain.

"...No, what was that smile of yours just now? Weren't you having ulterior motives towards me?"

Yin Nanfeng realized what was happening, her face flushed slightly, and she suppressed her shame, speaking with a straight face.

To be honest, for a fleeting moment just now, Yin Nanfeng did have a tiny bit of anticipation.

Really, it's only a tiny bit.

"Seriously, young people these days are really something, wow!"

"My laughter just now meant that our guests have arrived behind this door!"

"They're from the Wang family!"

Hu Ming shook his head and sighed softly, then said seriously.

I didn't notice it just now, so it's fine.

However, following the system's prompts, Hu Ming focused all his attention on his hearing. Beyond the heavy white jade door lay a spacious, empty hall.

Judging from the general structure here, even if it is not the main burial chamber, it should be a side hall next to the main burial chamber.

Judging from the various barely perceptible sounds coming from behind the door, there were ten people inside.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the ten people from the previous frogman unit.

Ten people were no problem for Hu Ming at all.

just
According to the information Zhang Rishan gave to Hu Ming, there were far more than ten members of the Wang family who went there.

The exact number of reinforcements from the Wang family remains unknown.

This is something Hu Ming cannot afford to be careless about.

However, this side quest has a time limit of ten minutes, and Hu Ming doesn't have much extra time to think about it.

"Are you ready, Nanfeng? I'm about to open the door."

As he spoke, ignoring Yin Nanfeng's astonished expression and giving her no time to understand, Hu Ming punched the mechanism that opened the door.

boom!
A crisp cracking sound rang out as Hu Ming smashed a deep crater into the rock with his bare fist.

The next moment, the white marble gate in front of them slowly opened.

"Be careful, be on guard!"

The moment the gate opened, the people inside the hall noticed it. The middle-aged man at the head of the group narrowed his eyes and exclaimed in surprise.

Just as Hu Ming had predicted, there were ten people in the empty hall.

They were all wearing diving suits from the frogman unit, with black masks covering most of their faces, making it impossible to discern their true appearances.

This is a tradition of the Wang family.

The Wang family is adept at sending spies into various powerful organizations. When they have to deploy these people, they will conceal their faces to avoid exposing them completely.

"...Hu Ming, Yin Nanfeng! It's actually you two, Wu Xie, and A Ning too?"

The middle-aged man at the head of the group looked warily at Hu Ming and Yin Nanfeng, who had suddenly appeared.

After a careful examination, he confirmed that there was no one else besides these two, and couldn't help but ask.

As far as he knew, Hu Ming and his group were working together with Qiu Dekao's people this time, so they should all be gathered together.

"Who knows? Maybe he's dead. Wouldn't that save you a lot of trouble?"

Hu Ming glanced at the ten people and said with a smile.

Then, with a flick of his sleeve, two machine guns suddenly appeared in Hu Ming's hands, their dark muzzles pointing directly at the Wang family.

The Wang family members were stunned to see the gun appear out of thin air. Hu Ming chuckled and said, "Times have changed, you fools!"

Why would anyone fight with knives when a gun can solve the problem?
BANG BANG BANG!!!
The next instant, without giving the Wang family any time to react by raising their own guns, Hu Ming decisively fired.

Almost at the same time, Hu Ming heard a gunshot with a slight difference in pitch.

That was Yin Nanfeng firing right after Hu Ming.
