Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

In the more than twenty years since he came into this world, Hu Ming had never met Zhang Dafoye.

Even so, Hu Ming did not sneak deep into the Eleventh Warehouse to pay respects to the coffins of Zhang Dafoye and Yin Xinyue.

Therefore, Hu Ming did not actually know what Zhang Dafoye really looked like.

However, Zhang Qishan was the direct person in charge of the project during the exploration of Zhangjia Ancient Building.

The only connection between this project and the military is Zhang Dafoye.

The military rank insignia on the shoulders of this middle-aged man in military uniform is enough to prove his identity.

Suddenly, a barely perceptible sound reached my ears, and a three-dimensional structural diagram of the space within a radius of several hundred meters around the wooden building instantly formed in my mind.

He had a clear understanding of the surrounding environment, its hidden compartments, and the distribution of living creatures.

Hu Ming's lips curled up slightly in a smile.

Besides the ghostly figures lurking beneath the wooden building, about a dozen other people have quietly appeared in the vicinity of the building.

After thinking for a moment, Hu Ming lifted the glass and put the photo away.

The other photos are not important; they are mostly group photos of the archaeological team members from that time.

Among them was a young man with a blank expression.

Well, it's worth mentioning that Huo Ling liked to cling to Xiao Ge back then.

Huo Ling always appears in every photo of the young man, smiling sweetly.

"Did something come to mind?"

Seeing the young man's strange expression, Hu Ming casually asked.

"Something doesn't seem right!"

The sight of success triggered fragments of memory in the young man's mind, and he turned his head and circled the bed.

"What's wrong?"

Wu Xie and Fatty exchanged a glance and quickly asked in a low voice, afraid of disturbing Xiao Ge's recollection. Although they were curious, they had heard that Huo Ling was Hu Ming's ex-girlfriend, but she looked intimate with Xiao Ge in the photos!
"No, something's not right. This room just doesn't feel right to me!"

The young man rubbed his temples, as if he was using all his energy to awaken the remaining memories.

Unfortunately
"My memory is severely impaired; I can't remember anything, and I feel like something crucial is missing."

"...Hu Ming?"

The young man plopped down on the bed again, looking tired and blankly at Hu Ming.

"There's a hidden compartment under the bed; what you're looking for is inside."

Hu Ming understood.

The young man had hidden some things here, but unfortunately, his memory loss made it impossible for him to remember them.

I only vaguely remember that this room was very important.

"Under the bed. Yes, under the bed! Right under the bed!"

The young man perked up, immediately squatted down, and looked under the bed.

There was nothing under the bed, just a dark area covered with cobwebs.

The young man paid no attention to these things, and stretched out two fingers of his right hand, exploring back and forth along the gaps in the wooden floor.

Suddenly, the young man hooked two fingers into a piece of wood, prying it up.

A chilling cracking sound rang out as the young man snapped the entire wooden board in two fingers, tossed it aside, and continued his exploration.

In the blink of an eye, the young man had pried a large hole in the floor under the bed. He pulled out a black metal box from inside.

The box was extremely heavy, and it left a mark on the wooden planks on the ground in an instant.

The box was large, about one meter long and half a meter wide, big enough to fit a curled-up adult.

Judging from the style and patterns on the box, it's probably a box from the Republican era.

The young man stared blankly at the box.

The young man's memory loss was so severe that he couldn't even remember what was in the things he had hidden before.

Hu Ming's nose twitched slightly as he caught a faint, almost imperceptible fragrance!
Hu Ming knew exactly what was going on here.

Just as the group was lost in their own thoughts, a knocking sound suddenly came from inside the room.

"Fatty, aren't you bored? Why are you banging on the floor for no reason?"

Wu Xie subconsciously assumed that Fatty was just banging on the floor out of boredom.

The fat man, who was smoking nearby, raised his hands upon hearing this, indicating that he was innocent and had nothing to do with it.

Who's knocking on the floor?
Wu Xie was taken aback and subconsciously looked at Hu Ming and Xiao Ge.

Qiang~
Hu Ming smiled slightly, drew the precious sword from his back, and looked towards the area under the bed.

Everyone knew that Hu Ming had extraordinary hearing; he could detect the slightest sounds and sounds in a confined space, down to the smallest details of every plant and tree…

At this moment, seeing Hu Ming suddenly draw his sword, the three of them immediately understood.

Someone has come uninvited, and it seems they don't come with good intentions!
In an instant, the three of them each pulled out their preferred weapons and stood side by side with Hu Ming, looking warily at the area under the bed.

Knock knock knock!!!
The sound was very soft, but it became increasingly urgent.

Swish swish!!!
Several cold glints flashed in the air as Hu Ming had already sheathed his sword and stood still.

And the guy's bed...

It's already broken into four or five pieces; in just a few breaths, it has been torn to pieces by Hu Mingsheng.

Hu Ming kicked aside the pieces of the bed, squatted down in front of the hidden compartment that the deliveryman had dismantled, and lit a cigarette.

The creature below sensed the commotion above, and seemed somewhat surprised and uncertain; its voice abruptly ceased.

A few seconds later, the commotion below started again, even more outrageous than before.

Under the watchful eyes of the group, the wood chips in the hidden compartment suddenly moved.

The next instant, a gray, inhuman arm pushed aside the splinters of wood and emerged from underneath!
"Damn it, where did this petty thief come from, actually trying to hit us guys!"

Seeing this, the fat man laughed in anger, twirling his paratrooper knife merrily as he looked up and down at the arm that was exploring in all directions, as if he were thinking about where to strike.

What kind of demons and monsters hadn't they seen? How could they possibly be frightened by a mere strange arm?
Just then, the gray, menacing arm had already reached in most of the way, grabbed the black metal box, and was about to pull it down.

"In all my years in the business, this is the first time I've seen someone so arrogant, trying to steal our things right in front of me..."

"How dare you!"

Watching the arm move so recklessly, Hu Ming stubbed out his cigarette, sighed softly with a blank expression, and gripped the precious sword again with his right hand.

Although this guy still has great uses, Hu Ming is not the kind of person who would swallow his anger.

A gleaming blade flashed again in the dimly lit room.

The next moment, crimson blood splattered everywhere.
