Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 302 Dark Clouds Overwhelm
On the vast expanse of sea nearby, there was only one fishing boat anchored above the underwater tomb.

call.
Hu Ming found it easily. After boarding the fishing boat, Jiang Nan exhaled the stale air from his lungs and took a deep breath of fresh air.

The series of events that just happened took nearly two minutes, and Jiang Nan had almost exhausted all the breath he had been holding in.

Yin Nanfeng stepped forward and gently wiped Hu Ming's hair and cheeks with a clean towel.

After taking off his diving suit, Hu Ming looked at the group of people whose faces were extremely grim with amusement.

"What's wrong with you? You look like you just ate shit. You finally made it out of the underwater tomb safely, why aren't you happy?"

It is worth mentioning that at this time, apart from the conversation of a few people, the fishing boat was completely silent.

"It's not quite there, but it's close enough..."

"Uncle Ming, something's not right. When we came back, everyone on the ship had mysteriously disappeared."

Wu Xie forced a smile with a grim expression, his hands trembling as he pulled out a cigarette case to light a cigarette.

It's already dusk.

Holy crap, could something like this really happen in broad daylight? There were a whole boatload of people on board!
The boat captain, the sailors, and the people Ah Ning left behind—dozens of people in total—had all vanished without a trace.

"I told you, for your health, smoke less, or better yet, quit. I'll enjoy this one for you."

Hu Ming chuckled dismissively, casually snatched the cigarette and lighter from Wu Xie's hand, lit it for himself, and tossed one to Fatty as well.

As for the dangers of secondhand smoke…

who-care?
Faced with this bizarre situation, everyone's faces were grim.

Only Yin Nanfeng seemed lost in thought, recalling some of the things Hu Ming had told her while she was down there.

"Hey, naive. If you ask me, let's not scare ourselves. It's broad daylight, how could we possibly see ghosts!"

"Maybe those people were unlucky enough to run into pirates and were all robbed!"

The fat man laughed loudly, sighing at Wu Xie's naivety and his ignorance of the dark side of the world.

However, a barely perceptible worry flickered deep in his eyes. Clearly, the fat man was no fool and knew that things couldn't be that simple.

These words were merely meant to comfort Wu Xie.

"Alright, stop comforting me, Fatty. If we really ran into pirates, this fishing boat would have been turned upside down by now."

"In fact, the entire ship may have been sunk. After all, this is still Chinese waters, and pirates haven't become so rampant that they've left any evidence."

Wu Xie sighed wearily and waved his hand.

None of them were simple-minded fools; they just lacked enough clues to draw a conclusion.

"There are bullet holes and bloodstains here, very fresh, left about two or three hours ago. Although someone has cleaned up these traces, you can still see some of them."

Just then, the voice of the silent man came.

He had reached the ship's side, squatted on the deck, and gently stroked the deck with both hands.

The group went over to take a look.

The traces weren't obvious. Just as the Silent One said, someone was deliberately concealing the traces, and you wouldn't notice anything unless you looked closely.

"Tsk! They've gotten guns involved..."

Upon seeing this, Hu Ming couldn't help but click his tongue softly.

He could roughly guess some of it. After all, there were only a few of them, and no matter how skilled they were, they were still just mortals.

Let's just forget about the so-called experts, professors, and underlings that Aning brought along.

However, none of the subsequent reinforcements from the Wang family, whose numbers were unknown, were easy to deal with.

Then, a radio, which had obviously been deliberately placed on the deck, suddenly started playing.

Inside, a typhoon warning was playing on the fisheries radio station.

It was caused by a tropical storm.

At this moment, Hu Ming and his group had already noticed that the wind at sea had changed.

The broadcast was filled with technical jargon, making it difficult to understand.

However, everyone understood those crucial few sentences.

"All ships at sea are requested to seek refuge in port!"

"Wow, how thoughtful! Are they afraid we might accidentally die in the typhoon?"

Seeing this, Hu Ming couldn't help but complain in his heart.

It's not hard to figure out who put the radio here and tuned it to this channel.

If the wind and waves pick up, their small fishing boat will be in real danger.

Their ability to withstand risks is too poor.

We were only affected by the aftereffects of the tropical storm and almost capsized.

Not to mention typhoons.

For a moment, everyone's faces darkened.

The group didn't dare to waste any time. They quickly swallowed some dry rations, drank some water, and then took turns navigating the boat towards a small island on the nautical chart.

Fortunately, the more technology develops, the simpler it becomes for users.

Although they weren't very familiar with the ship's various complex electronic instruments, they could still operate the ship in a foolproof way, making it move forward and turn.

By the time everyone had rested and were refreshed, it was already the next day.

The waves at sea were huge, the sky was gloomy, and dark clouds loomed overhead as far as the eye could see.

It was as if the entire sky was about to collapse.

In the vast environment of the sea, this situation can inevitably make people feel somewhat depressed.

At this moment, the young man is in the driver's seat, steering the vehicle.

Hu Ming was preparing lunch in the kitchen, while Yin Nanfeng watched him cook with curiosity.

The staple food at sea is, of course, fish.

The grand finale was a fish head hot pot, featuring a grouper that the captain had previously treasured and clamored to sell to the hotel for a good price.

A large grouper weighing three kilograms.

Elsewhere, you can't afford this kind of treasure even if you have the money.
