Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 373 There are still people behind!

"Blind man, when will they be here?"

Looking up at the sky, Hu Ming used the I Ching divination he hadn't used in a long time to predict when the rainy season would arrive. He then turned to ask Hei Xiazi.

"Because of this sudden sandstorm, they had to take shelter in the rear."

"Judging from their speed, it should take about a day and a half?"

After pondering for a moment, Hei Xiazi gave an affirmative answer.

"However, on the other hand, Hu Ming, this time, those people are probably not trustworthy. Relying on their words could easily lead to problems."

Finally, Black Bear reminded him.

After all, Wu Sansheng had gone to great lengths to delay "his" last time he went to the Heavenly Palace.

With a determined heart, he sold off all his businesses in Changsha.

Use this unusual behavior to attract "his" attention.

Those trustworthy buddies either ran away, switched sides, or got caught.

Nowadays, apart from Panzi, Wu Sansheng has very few trustworthy men left.

Most of the men Wu Sansheng brought for this operation were thugs whom he had temporarily gathered on the streets.

Most of these people are hotheads who would do anything for money.

Similarly, they might betray you at any time for money!
These people have no bottom line and care nothing about credibility.

"It's okay, so I still have a backup plan."

"The Hong family and my company's people are watching them from a distance!"

Hu Ming grinned.

Just kidding. Putting aside his past status, right now he's the head of the Hong family, the dignified Second Master of the Nine Gates!
The people from his security company were also selected by Hu Bayi; they were all trustworthy and of very good character.

"Damn it, Hu Ming, you didn't tell us you had a backup plan!?"

"I misjudged you, Hu Ming. I used to think you were a straightforward and honest guy, but I never expected you to turn out to be just like Wu Laosan, a cunning old fox!"

"Tell me the truth! This time, were you secretly plotting to sell us out?"
Black Bear let out an exaggerated, strange cry, tightened his leather jacket, and retreated warily.

"Stop fooling around. With your ridiculous appearance, you wouldn't be worth a penny, let alone being given away for free. You'd be lucky to find someone willing to take you!"

Hu Ming gave Hei Xiazi a disdainful look.

Isn't this person a little too narcissistic?
Just then, there was a new development in Aning's group.

"That A-K woke up. According to him, some people have already entered the Devil City during the sandstorm."

"A Ning's people are preparing to go to the rescue."

Wu Xie, who couldn't stay still and had been killing time in A Ning's group, came over and said.

"Rescue?"

Hu Ming glanced back at the Devil City behind him and said, "Judging from the time, they shouldn't have gone far and haven't yet ventured into the area covered by Qimen Dunjia."

"If you search diligently, it is indeed possible to find those two people."

"Hey bro, blind guy, Wu Xie, you two can skip this, but are you interested in coming over and joining the fun?"

"My gut feeling tells me that something interesting is going to happen inside!"

"No, why should I just let it go?" Wu Xie said, his face darkening with displeasure.

What is this? Isn't this a blatant insult? It must be!
"Don't overthink it, nephew. I... I really do despise your body! You should just stay here quietly."

Judging from Wu Xie's expression, Hu Ming knew what he was thinking. He laughed heartily. "Interesting things? I'm not interested."

The young man shook his head; he wasn't the type to enjoy joining in the fun.

"More importantly, Hu Ming, when will the rainy season arrive?"

Before leaving, the young man asked softly.

"Two days! The rainy season will definitely arrive on time in two days. Believe me, then the gates of Tamutuo will open to us!"

Hu Ming gave a thumbs-up and smiled.

Two days is just the right amount of time.

Hei Xiazi nodded, then pulled Wu Xie and Xiao Ge away together.

Although, Black Bear really likes to join in the fun.

However, he still needed to make some preparations before Wu Sansheng's men arrived.

I don't have the time to join Hu Ming in the fun.

And Wu Xie...
Hei Xiazi knew that Hu Ming's so-called "interesting" was only in his personal opinion.

For Wu Xie, those kinds of interesting things could take his life at any moment.

In fact, Hei Xiazi was absolutely right!

……

……

"You want to join our search and rescue team?"

Ah Ning looked at Hu Ming with a strange expression, feeling an indescribable disgust in her heart.

Along the way, she had come to know Hu Ming all too well; Hu Ming simply didn't care about the lives of her men.

Suddenly, out of kindness, they offered to join the search and rescue team.
There must be a conspiracy!
"Hey, I said, don't look at me like that, it makes me seem like some kind of bad guy."

"Besides, compared to me, you people are the standard villain template, okay?"

"Look at them, they outnumber you, are fully armed, and have no ill intentions. What else could they be but villains?"

Seeing Ah Ning's suspicious and wary gaze, Hu Ming's lips twitched.

Honestly, he just wanted to join in the fun, it doesn't have to be like this, does it?
"A villain template? Are you writing a novel?"

"Alright. If you want to come along, then come with us."

Ah Ning sighed helplessly; she wasn't stupid.

They had already sensed something was amiss; Hu Ming and his group were probably up to some ulterior motive.

However, it must be said that Hu Ming's personal abilities are indeed outstanding.

If Hu Ming really wants to help, he is indeed a top-notch assistant.

Aning couldn't resist the temptation.

For these people, the Devil City was completely foreign.

She wasn't even confident that she could find the missing team members if the communication facilities failed.

Hu Ming's addition undoubtedly increased this hope.

Immediately, Aning, the team doctor, a large white man, and the four from Jiangnan packed their gear and, without hesitation, stepped into the small part of the Devil City.
