Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 682 "Zhao Zheng"?
The ten-year period is approaching.

The three of them took turns driving, slowly moving along the national highway towards Changbai Mountain.

In about a week, it will be exactly ten years.

Because of this, Hu Ming and the other two decided to settle all the mess before that, so that they could go and welcome the young man home without any worries.

During the trip, when passing through Nei Menghu City, Hu Ming stayed here for a day, waiting for someone.

It was Lan Ting who rushed over from Sijiu City after receiving a message from Hu Ming.

"Long time no see, Guan Gen. No, Wu Xie!"

Lan Ting elegantly opened the car door, sat in the passenger seat, and greeted Wu Xie, who was driven to the back by Hu Ming to sit with Fatty.

"Lan Ting! Damn it! Literally! And I saw a ghost in broad daylight!"

“Although I had expected this in the desert, it was still incredible to actually see it!”

"You are the first real ghost I have seen in all these years, and a strange ghost that can move freely under the sun!"

Wu Xie took a look at the blue sky and scorching sun outside, took a deep breath, and his eyes widened like copper bells.

"Lan Ting? Who is he? Someone you two know?"

"I suspect you two bastards are doing something behind my back!"

The fat man scratched his head, his face full of question marks. He always felt that he seemed to have missed something fun in the ten years he was away.

"Yeah, of course I know him. Three years ago, in order to relieve my mental condition, I used the pseudonym Guan Gen and worked as a freelance writer and photographer. That's when I met Lan Ting."

"Then, Lan Ting met Ming through me... The funny thing is, when we met Lan Ting, she had been dead for a long time."

Wu Xie said in a deep voice.

"died?"

The fat man finally grasped the point and was completely confused.

"Well, I've been dead for three years. My body has turned into a pile of bones. I just discovered the truth that I'm dead some time ago."

Lan Ting smiled sweetly, and regardless of the fact that Hu Ming was driving, she leaned her head on Hu Ming's shoulder and held Hu Ming's hand that was holding the gear lever.

"Naive, Fatty, I think I got the point. When you met Lan Ting, she was already dead?"

The fat man suddenly thought of something and said to Wu Xie in a low voice.

"Ah, yes, what happened? Lan Ting's condition is a little strange. Not to mention me, even Uncle Ming can't figure out what's going on."

"It is clearly a ghost-like existence, but it is just like an ordinary person..."

Wu Xie nodded.

"That's not the point. Look at the point!"

"I, Fatty, underestimated Uncle Ming. He lived through a myth in person. I mean, Ning Chen!"

The fat man seemed to have eaten a basket of lemons, and the sour taste was overwhelming.

"..."

Wu Xie took a look at Lan Ting leaning intimately on Hu Ming and fell silent. He also understood.

Damn!
It's simply heartless and crazy!
"Anyway, this is a... well, great story. It's a long story, so I won't talk to you about it. I don't think you will like to hear the story between me and Lan Ting."

Hu Ming smiled and tried to pull his arm free but to no avail. He could only let Lan Ting hold his arm and drive with the heavy load.

“No, please tell us about this, we are very interested!”*2
"No, you're not interested!"

“No, we are interested!”

"..If you keep talking nonsense, I will start beating you up, do you believe it?"

Hu Ming turned around and glared at him threateningly.

"We got it. Look ahead, Uncle Ming, there's an oncoming car ahead!"

"What are you afraid of? I'm an experienced driver. Don't worry, I'll drive." Hu Ming sneered and turned the steering wheel without even looking back to avoid the oncoming car.

After Lan Ting got on the car, Fatty and Wu Xie took turns driving most of the time on the way to Changbai Mountain.

Hu Ming and Lan Ting moved to the back seat, which was spacious and suitable for
It's suitable to lie in the back row with your head resting on Lan Ting's long legs.

When they were about to enter the Changbai Mountains area, Wu Xie suddenly braked.

"Uncle Ming, something seems to be wrong. The man in front of me gives me a very strange feeling, as if he is not human!
Wu Xie frowned as he looked at a figure in the middle of the narrow road ahead, who was wrapped in a coat, wearing a top hat, and with his head lowered so that his face could not be seen clearly.

Putting aside how remote this place is, this isn't the way to hitchhike on the roadside, right?
Wu Xie didn’t know if it was an illusion or not, but just by looking at the person in front of him, he felt a creepy feeling.

"It's more than just something wrong. My hair is standing on end. This person is very dangerous, just as dangerous as the little brother and the blind man, or even more so!"

The fat man grinned, grabbed the pistol at his waist with his backhand, and loaded it with a click.

Hu Ming had already sensed something was wrong. Looking at the motionless figure in the middle of the road, the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up slightly.

"Do you know him?"

Lan Ting is not a normal person after all. He has already noticed the terrifying aspect of that figure and asked with a frown.

"Know him? I don't know him, and he doesn't know me either, but my intuition tells me that guy is most likely here for the bronze door and me!"

Hu Ming narrowed his eyes and comforted Lan Ting. Amid the exclamations of Wu Xie and Fatty, he suddenly opened the car door and walked straight towards the figure.

"Uncle Ming!"

"uncle"

It was rare to see Hu Ming being so reckless. Fatty Wu Xie exclaimed and quickly got out of the car with a gun. He stood on both sides of Hu Ming and looked at the figure vigilantly.

"It's okay. My intuition tells me that he probably has no hostility towards us."

Hu Ming stopped the two men's actions, lowered their guns, and stared at the figure.

"Yeah, that's right. I have no hostility towards you. In fact, I have no interest in you two or the frightened ghost lady in the back seat."

"I was just passing by here and wanted to go there. Oh, in this era, I mean, you call that place the Changbai Mountains, right?"

"Something interesting is happening in there, I just wanted to go over and take a look, but I didn't expect to run into you by chance, so I rashly stopped you on the side of the road. I hope you don't mind."

The man chuckled and raised his head. Under the round hat was an ordinary square face with a neatly trimmed beard. He looked like a very clean and cheerful middle-aged man.

"Me? Interesting."

"Hu Ming, what's your name?"

Hu Ming's intuition became clearer and clearer. He ignored Wu Xie and Fatty who were looking horrified, pressed them down, grinned, and asked.

"Call? You mean the name?"

"In my long life, I have used so many names that I can't remember them all. I remember that the last time I walked on the land of China, I was quite famous. My name was..."

"I remember that the surname is Ying and the clan is Zhao, Zheng!"

"According to the rules of this era, you can call me Zhao Zheng."

It’s Zhao Zheng who is coming, he said with a hearty smile.

"The one who drafted the document was from the Ying clan, Zhao. Zheng? Zhao Zheng? Qin Shi Huang!???"

Hearing this, Wu Xie and Fatty widened their eyes, looking at the unknown person in front of them in disbelief, with countless waves surging in their hearts like raging storms.

They are not ignorant fools, they naturally know what the two words "Zhao Zheng" mean!
Their intuition told them that they seemed to have accidentally come into contact with a shocking secret!
"Zhao Zheng? Interesting!"

Hu Ming was not surprised but smiled with the corners of his mouth raised, as if the name of the visitor was not something to be shocked about.

"The last time he appeared in China. This makes me think more and make a bold guess..."

"Isn't that you I'm looking for? The one who was called a god by people at that time!?? Even if you're not, you must have some relationship with him, right?"

"Answer me, who has lived for at least thousands of years since ancient times?"
