Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 399 Attacking the Camp
That night, apart from those who stayed on watch, the others had various thoughts on their minds and could hardly fall asleep.

The young man's seemingly random warning was rather frightening.

Thanks to Hu Ming, they had a smooth journey and encountered almost no fatal dangers.

However, the young man is not one to speak carelessly; there must be a reason for what he said, and others cannot afford to ignore it.

Unfortunately, the young man made no attempt to explain.

The young man is unwilling to speak. What can anyone do?
"Tell me, what exactly are you two doing with that woman Chen Wenjin?"

Beside the campfire, Hei Xiazi asked Hu Ming and Xiao Ge a question that sounded like an idiot.

To be honest, the night before going underground, he really wanted to get a good night's sleep and recharge.

But
Don't these two idiots have any sense of humanity at all?
They just had to cause trouble at this particular time.
Now look what's happened, how am I supposed to sleep tonight?!
"Guess what... Hey you over there, get out of the way if you're going to the bathroom!"

"If you dare to use the toilet there, believe me, I'll break your third leg! I mean it!"

Hu Mingchong smiled mysteriously at Hei Xiazi, then frowned and scolded Wu Sansheng's companion who wanted to use a drain in front of the temple.

Damn, these people really know how to pick a place!
As he spoke, Hu Ming had already drawn his precious sword, flipped it over, and pointed the back of the blade at the waiter, a silent threat.

It was clear that Hu Ming was not joking.

"Forehead"

"Master Ming, I understand. I'll find another place right away. Please put away your knife; it's rather frightening."

Upon hearing this, the waiter instinctively shuddered, quickly stopped unbuckling his belt, and sheepishly ran away into the distance.

He swore that for a split second, his brother was so scared he shrank a size!
Damn, this Master Ming's aura is terrifying!
"...Is it fun to bully newbies? It's just going to the toilet, is it really that big of a deal?"

"What if you scare the little guy so much that he can't use it anymore?"

The blind man took off his sunglasses to wipe and maintain them, and rolled his eyes, revealing bluish pupils that were almost invisible.

These two are old acquaintances, everyone knows each other, and the blind man has no inhibitions in front of Hu Ming and the young man.

These two had seen his somewhat frightening eyes before.

"If you're willing to crawl in tomorrow despite the stench of urine, then never mind what I said."

Hu Ming shrugged.

"You mean, that's the entrance to the underground water storage system?"

Black Bear was taken aback and put on his glasses to take a closer look.

Even the deliveryman was somewhat surprised.

The young man had indeed been here before, but the problem was that he had forgotten his past memories.

I have absolutely no recollection of this place.

"Sure enough, there seems to be a hidden entrance on the side deep underground!"

He moved closer and crawled down a rope, returning the same way a few minutes later.

This drainage ditch is extremely deep, with a square opening in the darkness at its bottom.

Judging by its shape, it is perfectly large enough for an adult to walk in upright.

The capital city of the Queen Mother of the West was built in the center of a meteorite crater that was filled and buried in the past, and the underground palace where the Queen Mother of the West hid was hidden below.

The water storage system below is also designed for passage for both humans and snakes. This underground system passage is extremely spacious, almost enough to allow three people to walk side by side.

In a sense, this could be considered a secret passage for the Queen Mother of the West to transport her troops.

The buildings above ground are all a cover; the real location of the Queen Mother of the West is underground.

"It's about time, it's time to begin." Just as the three were chatting by the campfire, a misty white fog began to spread around them. Seeing this, Hu Ming stood up and said softly.

As he spoke, Hu Ming picked up the package at his feet, took out two gas masks, and tossed them to Hei Xiazi and Xiao Ge.

"This is?"

The blind man asked in confusion.

Why wear a gas mask if you have nothing better to do?
These things are stuffy and hot to wear, extremely uncomfortable, and even more unfriendly to the blind. Wearing sunglasses is very inconvenient.

"This is a unique miasma here; it's poisonous but not fatal, though it can blind people."

"Of course, you're blind, so you shouldn't care about that at all, right?"

Hu Ming quickly put on the gas mask, raised an eyebrow, and looked at Hei Xiazi.

"Screw you! I may see better in the dark, but I'm not really blind!"

Black Bear muttered a few words, then reluctantly took off his sunglasses and put on a gas mask.

Fortunately, it's nighttime, so it won't affect his eyes much.

Hu Ming even thoughtfully prepared a special gas mask for him, with the visor coated with a special black substance so that it wouldn't be a problem even during the day.

It perfectly maximizes the function of the blind man's special eyes while preventing others from seeing his terrifying eyes through the mask.

"Thanks! The gas mask fits perfectly, and my vision is very clear. It's very thoughtful."

After putting on the gas mask, Hei Xiazi expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

"Hmm, aren't you touched? So touched that you want to call me Dad?"

"Come on, shout it out loud without hesitation! Dad and your brother won't laugh at you for it!"

Hu Ming grinned.

What kind of pure friendship can you find among men?

Aren't they all desperately trying to become each other's fathers?

What Hu Ming envied most about Hei Xiazi was that while working for Chen Pi, he actually gained a godson!
Damn, godson?
Of course, it would be even better if she were a goddaughter!
"Get out of here! I'm three times your age, okay? You're the one who should be calling me 'Dad'!"

"Speaking of which, what exactly are you two up to? You've been so secretive. Now that things have come to this, you can't just say something, can you?"

The corner of Hei Xiazi's mouth twitched violently beneath his mask!
"Get rid of 'his' people in the team!"

The young man explained softly.

Human skin masks are amazing things; they are incredibly difficult to make, but they are so realistic that they can easily fool people.

Xiao Ge and Hu Ming already knew that these people had to be dealt with before heading underground.

However, if everyone in the team has a gun, simply revealing it in such a straightforward manner could easily lead to some accidents.

After all, even Xiao Ge and Hu Ming are made of flesh and blood. If they are hit by bullets, they will still be injured, and if they are hit in a vital spot, they will still die!
Therefore, for safety reasons, this whole show that Hu Ming and his friend wrote and directed took place that night!
Hu Ming and Xiao Ge need to find a common enemy for everyone in order to ensure that "his" people will turn their guns on others and cause unnecessary sacrifices.

Aside from the young man, no one knew that Hu Ming could control the crested snake!
As he spoke, Hu Ming had already whistled softly.

In the next instant, countless crimson crested snakes surged into the camp from all around!
Like a crimson tide, in just a few breaths, crested snakes were hissing everywhere in sight!
The panicked screams of the night watchmen filled the air.

However, that's not the worst of it!
"Holy crap, what's going on? Why can't I see anything all of a sudden?!"

"I can't see either! What's going on?! Could there really be ghosts here?"

The miasma in Mengbai had already become very thick, and the toxic substances within it had reached a certain critical point, thus exerting their effects.

In the still of the night, under the gentle moonlight, the camp erupted into chaos.
