Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 594 Singles' Night

"My dear Professor Hu, a highly educated person like you, do you usually carry a gun when you go out?"

"You also said that I am just a weak scholar who can't even tie a chicken. When I go out, I am surrounded by tigers and wolves. For my own safety, it is only natural for me to carry some self-defense items with me, right?"

"Surrounded by tigers and wolves? Is Professor Hu trying to hint at something? I am just a rough man and I don't quite understand what you are saying. If you have anything to say, why not speak frankly?"

"Miss Su, you're overthinking it. I was just saying it casually. Miss Su is such a heroic woman, how could she be a kind-hearted tiger or wolf?"

After simply and roughly driving away the crew members, the convoy set off again.

Along the way, Hu Ming and Su Nan in another car chatted with interest on the intercom.

In a sense, the two of them know each other well.

They both know that the other party is not a simple third-rate person, but they pretend to be a naive person who knows nothing.
I can only say that the tedious journey was too boring, and we were just killing time by chatting nonsense tacitly.

After all, it was not the time to fall out before arriving at Gutongjing.

At least, that's what Su Nan thought.

"That Su Nan... is he related to our enemy?"

Seeing that Hu Ming had ended the conversation, Wu Xie stopped teaching Li Cu, pondered for a moment, and asked tentatively.

"Maybe, who knows."

"Also, Wu Xie, Wang Meng, and Su Nan's subordinates are not easy to deal with. Many of their faces were on newspaper headlines a few years ago."

"If I'm not mistaken, these people are basically murderers on the run. Take it for self-defense. In case of any accidents, it will be a bit of a guarantee."

Hu Ming answered vaguely, and at the same time took out two pistols and several magazines and handed them to Wu Xie and Wang Meng.

No matter how good your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of a kitchen knife. With a gun in hand, you will always feel extremely safe.

"What about mine?"

Seeing this, Li Cu's eyes lit up, and he asked expectantly, rubbing his hands.

After all, he was a restless teenager. Long before Hu Ming threatened the crew members with a gun, Li Cu had been coveting the pistol in Hu Ming's hand.

Now seeing that Hu Ming was about to turn into an arms wholesaler, Li Cu couldn't help but say, "Gun! This is a real pistol!"
Didn't that man dream of having a pistol when he was young?
"You? What do you want with a gun, you little brat? Is your left and right sauce not fragrant enough?"

Hu Ming turned around and looked at Li Cu, which was like a bucket of cold water on his head. He also looked at Li Cu's hands jokingly and made a double entendre.

"Fuck! If you don't want to give it to me, then don't give it to me. Who cares?"

"Also, why are you looking at me like that? I'm telling you, I'm very popular in school, and there are a lot of girls chasing after me, so stop kidding me, Zuoyou-chan!"

Li Cu understood Hu Ming's words immediately. His face flushed red immediately and he leaned heavily on his seat, not wanting to pay attention to these old drivers who were laughing at him.

Young people's affairs, lonely nights, without school beauties, can't you solve it yourself by fantasizing?
The law can't cover this, right?
"Honestly, Li Cu, go find a girlfriend. It's too harmful to your body to just rely on your hands."

Wu Xie put away his gun, patted Li Cu's shoulder and laughed.

Speaking of which, Wu Xie hasn't felt so relaxed for a long time.

In fact, Hu Ming really wanted to say that Wu Xie, a perennial bachelor, had no right to mock Li Cu...
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I'm not giving you a gun for your safety and our safety."

"A rookie like you, if you encounter an emergency and panic, it's easy to hurt yourself or your companions with a gun."

"Besides, you've never touched a gun, and your accuracy is so poor. It would be a waste of bullets to give you a gun." Hu Ming restrained his smile and explained patiently.

"Who are your companions?"

"I am just a hostage kidnapped by you. I don't want to, and I absolutely cannot, become partners with dangerous people like you!"

Li Cu snorted lightly and explained the relationship between them in a rather cold tone.

"That may not be a good thing. Stop talking nonsense and take a good rest now."

Wu Xie smiled with a hint of nostalgia, thinking back to when he was young, he looked so much like the boy in front of him.

The long journey in the desert is undoubtedly boring. After experiencing the initial sense of wonder when seeing the desert, the golden sand dunes that fill the entire vision can only bring irritation and nausea.

Two days later, under the leadership of Wu Xie, the convoy finally found a deserted and dilapidated ruins in the heart of the desert.

"Look to the left! That's Gutongjing! Look, that's Gutongjing, we found it!"

Excited shouts came from the intercom placed on the dashboard.

"Stop the car! Stop the car now!"

Ma Rila, who was awakened from his sleep, kept calling for a stop, jumped out of the car, dug through the desert in front of a crowd of people, scooped up a handful of deep, wet sand, held it under his nose and took a deep sniff.

“Yes, this is the place!”

Without leaving any trace, he exchanged a glance with Hu Ming and Wu Xie standing on the side, then Ma Rila nodded and said firmly!
"But I don't see the lake you mentioned here!"

The newbie Li Cu had no idea about the twists and turns in it. Looking around, he couldn't see any trace of anything related to water.

"Child, this is what you don't understand! The lakes in the desert change according to the flow of groundwater. Wherever the groundwater flows, there the lakes will appear."

"Look, the sand here is wet except for the top layer! The lake you are looking for was here three days ago."

Ma Rila raised the wet sand and gestured loudly to Su Nan and his group.

"Su Nan, are we really here? Is it really that easy for us to find the rumored Gutongjing?"

Boss Ma got out of the car with the help of his young girlfriend, looked at the ruins in the distance, and asked in a low voice in disbelief.

"I don't know. We know too little about Gutongjing! All we can do now is trust the professionals!"

"However, according to relevant records, only by following Haizi's trail can we find the rumored ancient Tongjing."

"What Ma Rila said is right. There must have been underground water flowing here recently. There happens to be an ancient relic ahead. Maybe this is really the ancient Tongjing!"

Su Nan also scooped up a handful of wet sand and looked at the ruins in the distance with doubt.

All this seemed to be too easy, which made Su Nan doubt its authenticity, but all the evidence proved that this place was suspected to be Gutongjing.

Su Nan frowned and looked at Hu Ming who was waving at her with a smile, and her brows furrowed even deeper.

"Laoma, Lao Ma, look over there, is that a sandstorm?"

Just when Boss Ma and Su Nan were still hesitating, Boss Ma's girlfriend suddenly pointed at the horizon and screamed.

In the direction where the convoy came from, a dust storm had already been raised that covered the sky!!!
"Hurry up and get in the car, let's go! We are going to the ruins there to avoid the sandstorm!!"

Suddenly, several people were startled and did not care about anything else. They hurriedly urged everyone to get on the car and rush to the ruins. Regardless of whether it was the ancient Tongjing or not, the ruins were undoubtedly the only place to avoid the sandstorm!
Everyone here knows that the most dangerous thing in the desert is encountering a sandstorm. If you are not careful, the entire army will be wiped out.
