Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 619 Quicksand
"Again?"

"Even if I, Li Cu, die here today, I will never come to a place like this again!"

“I said, even Jesus can’t stop me!!!”

Hearing this, Li Cu sneered, put aside his lofty words, and set a terrible flag.

After saying that, he waved his sleeves, got into the sleeping bag without even looking back, and went to sleep.

"This child... looks just like an old general with flags flying all over the stage."

Wu Xie let out a light click of his tongue and smiled with an odd expression on his face.

"Sooner or later, he will be willing to say "It smells so good"..."

Hu Ming laughed. Young man, that's quite interesting!
It seems that even if there is no philosopher Mr. Wang in this space and time, the law of true fragrance is still universal.

It is indeed the great truth that stretches across the heavens as rumored!
“Sleep, sleep…”

Wang Meng looked at Li Cu who was pretending to sleep in the sleeping bag and sighed that he was still too young.

How dare you say such things so confidently in front of these two old foxes?
Logically speaking, Hu Ming and Wu Xie had already made clear arrangements for Li Cu, right?
Young man, you've got to learn your lesson!
……

The next morning, there were no clouds in the sky, and above the yellow sand was a clear blue sky, which was breathtakingly beautiful.

Su Nan yawned, holding the bread, and staggered over to Hu Ming.

At this time, Hu Ming and Wu Xie were roughly drawing a simple map with a pen, and they were studying it while eating.

"Master Hu, what are you researching so early in the morning? Have you found anything useful?"

"Can I see the map? Where are we going?"

Coming closer to take a look, Su Nan asked in surprise, "Where else can it lead to? Gutongjing!"

"Our trip to this underground palace was not in vain. I don't know if you noticed that the reliefs inside the underground palace contain more or less information about Gutongjing."

"Gathering all this information, plus our previous guesses, we can roughly confirm the location of Gutongjing. It's probably here!"

"If you drive...it only takes about a day or two."

Hu Ming drew a circle on a certain spot on the drawing with a pencil and explained casually.

As for the fact that Su Nan had a different nickname every day, Hu Ming didn't care. He just thought it was Su Nan's personal interest.

"Gutongjing... at this point, do you still want to go to Gutongjing? Can we really get there safely?"

In fact, after Su Nan had obtained the "important intelligence" and thought about it all night, he was already somewhat reluctant to leave. After all, Gutongjing was too mysterious!
It's so mysterious that almost no one knows where it is!
But now that Hu Ming said this, Su Nan's heart was pounding!
Gutongjing is their goal, and they wanted to take it step by step, but if they knew the location of Gutongjing now...

Su Nan's eyes flickered and he subconsciously reached for the special satellite talker in his arms.

Perhaps, for the sake of the ultimate goal, we can be patient for a little longer?
"Everyone who knows me knows that I never lie. You can trust me on this!"

Hu Ming caught Su Nan's little movement from the corner of his eye, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

This is the effect we want!
"I understand. I'll ask them to pack up and we'll be leaving right away!"

Su Nan nodded and said in a deep voice.

Just as Su Nan turned to leave and urged his men to pack up their equipment, suddenly...

Hu Ming's heart trembled slightly, and he intuitively felt something was not right!
这 是
Hu Ming looked at the sand beneath his feet which suddenly began to tremble slightly, and suddenly remembered something.

quicksand!!!
"Damn, I really forgot! After we came out yesterday, the underground palace triggered a mechanism and collapsed completely, causing great damage to the underground structure!" "Now it seems that the collapsed underground structure is completely unable to support tens of thousands of tons of yellow sand. This is the rhythm of the sand layer collapsing and forming a huge quicksand pit!"

Hu Ming stood up suddenly and looked around. The large area of ​​yellow sand in front of him actually began to flow slowly!
In the desert, within the range of a sandstorm, as long as countermeasures are taken in advance, people will not necessarily lose their lives.

But once you fall into the quicksand pit, even gods can't save you!!!
"I was careless and thought that there was no explosion below like in the original story, and the underground dome structure could hold out for a while longer."

“But now that I think about it, I clearly underestimated the cruelty of that monster city lord. He clearly wanted everyone who entered his mausoleum to be buried with him!”

"It's too late, run! Take as much supplies as you can, run!"

Hu Ming's face changed slightly, he murmured something in a low voice that no one else could understand, and then he shouted loudly.

Hu Ming didn't care about anything else and just grabbed the package beside him and ran away.

“… Damn, these four bastards!”

Hu Ming wanted to turn back and urge Wu Xie and the others, but he found that Wu Xie, led by the shrewd guy Ma Rila, had already run out with Li Cu and Wang Meng!
"Second Master, I'm not as capable as you, and I haven't figured out what happened yet, but I know from your expression that it must be dangerous! It's always right to run first!"

Ma Rila yelled at the top of his lungs as he ran, while holding the two bottles of liquor in his arms like a treasure, refusing to let go even if he died.

"As for us, since Ma Ri La, the old shrew, ran away, we naturally followed suit!"

Wu Xie said that he was innocent and was just instinctively following Lao Youtiao to escape.

“You guys are awesome!”

Hu Ming took a deep breath and smiled. The explanations given by these guys were really reasonable!
Within a radius of several hundred meters, tens of thousands of tons of yellow sand were surging wildly along the underground cavity.

In addition to the speed, a huge sand funnel was almost formed. The huge movement stirred up a sky full of sand and dust, and the blue sky suddenly became turbid and dim.

Within the range, whether it was tents, vehicles, or a large amount of supplies piled up on the side, they were all swept into the depths by the yellow sand, completely buried and disappeared without a trace.

When everyone ran to a safe area, they heard a loud bang and looked back to see that the place where they had camped had completely turned into a huge sand pit!
Hu Ming put on a pair of goggles to block out the dust, lit a cigarette, and threw the lighter into the sand pit.

Rustle...

It was visible to the naked eye that the yellow sand surged again in a small area, submerging the lighter in a few seconds.

"Supplies don't matter to me or us. As long as we need them, believe me, I can get as much as you want."

"We encountered this kind of natural disaster. Well, it was a man-made disaster caused by us. We are lucky that there were no casualties."

Hu Ming exhaled a puff of smoke and said in a dark voice.

Hu Ming admitted that he was indeed careless this time.

"..I roughly counted the supplies we rescued. If we live frugally, they can last for about three days."

"But since you said so, Uncle Ming, then supplies must not be a problem."

"The problem now is that without transportation, if we just walk, the time it takes to reach our destination will be infinitely extended! This is very troublesome."

"If we waste too much time and lose contact, something terrible will happen in Sijiu City!"

Wu Xie weighed the package and said with a pained look.

"I'm afraid you two are wrong about no casualties? It seems that more than one person was buried in the quicksand pit over there."

Li Cu was still somewhat frightened, his face was unhealthily pale, this was due to fear.

Looking at Su Nan, who had a grim expression not far away, and the obviously fewer people over there, Li Cu knew that the cruelty of the quicksand pit was far from as understated as these two people said!
