Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 748 Time is running out!
Wu Xie stared at his phone in a daze, unable to recover for a long time.

Hu Ming is dead, the little brother is dead, the blind man is dead, and Wu Erbai’s life or death is unknown. We are doing our best to organize a rescue.

The message from Erjing was like a sharp knife piercing deep into his chest, and the piercing pain almost made it impossible for him to breathe.

"Cough cough cough!!"

Amid Fatty's worried and guilty look, Wu Xie covered his mouth and coughed violently, with bright red blood dripping from between his fingers.

Everything went dark before his eyes and Wu Xie completely lost consciousness.

When Wu Xie woke up, it was already the third day. After waking up, he saw the ceiling of the hospital.

"I don't believe that a mere roaring spring can drown such powerful people. Fatty, we have to go save Second Uncle Menyouping and the others."

His blank thoughts gradually became clear, Wu Xie struggled to get up and said softly.

"it is good!"

"During the days you were unconscious, I have almost completed the preparations. The equipment and funds are already in place. We will set off immediately after breakfast."

The fat man, who had already made corresponding preparations, nodded.

"I thought you would advise me..."

Wu Xie looked at Fatty strangely.

"There's nothing to persuade them. First, we absolutely cannot leave them in that kind of haunted place. Even if they are really dead, we have to find their bodies."

".I advise you, will you listen? No way!"

The fat man grinned.

"While you are eating, Tian Zhen, I have some information to tell you."

"When you were unconscious, Erjing passed some detailed information to me. After they entered the underground from the Dumb Village, they advanced 1,200 kilometers to the northeast."

"In other words, Leicheng is actually in the southwest of the country, and Erjing and his men found out after the incident that the place where Uncle Ming and his men disappeared was in southern Fujian..."

The fat man spoke softly as he brought over the breakfast that had been prepared in advance in case Wu Xie woke up at any time.

"Domestic, Southern Fujian? That's much better. After all, we don't have many connections and power abroad. Domestically, we can mobilize a lot more power."

"By the way, what about the Hong family, the Hu family, and your father? What do they think about the news that Uncle Ming is still unknown? Have they taken any action?"

Wu Xie didn't notice the fat man's expression. He drank the porridge in small sips, his brain working at full capacity, thinking about a plan of action.

"The Hong family and my father don't believe that Uncle Ming will get into trouble. Also, the Hong family is tied up in other things, so there are only a few people that can be mobilized, and most of them will not obey your orders..."

"As for my father and his men, I couldn't contact them at all. I could only arrange for someone to notify them, but I didn't hear from them after several days, and their men didn't listen to me at all!"

"The worst thing is, naively, we don't have much time left, there is going to be a heavy rain there..."

There was a hint of impatience and anxiety in the fat man's tone.

"Yeah, time is running out..."

Wu Xie didn't think much about it, he just thought that Fatty was worried that the arrival of the rainy season would increase the difficulty of the rescue and the probability of Hu Ming and others surviving.

Wu Erbai and Wu Sanxing chose to conceal everything. There was a reason why they were plotting against their eldest nephew.

Wu Xie is a person who has a weird physique, a weak character, and a strong curiosity. You can easily find a lot of shortcomings in him, and a lot of shortcomings that make him unsuitable for this job. But there is one thing that anyone who has come into contact with Wu Xie cannot refute. This person cares too much about the people around him, but has an attitude similar to indifference towards some of his own affairs.

The trip to Leicheng is extremely dangerous for various reasons, and is bound to result in heavy casualties.

No matter if they were familiar people or strangers, Wu Xie's personality would never allow him to let so many innocent people die for his own safety.

Therefore, the brothers Wu Erbai and Wu Sanxing, who knew their eldest nephew too well, decisively set up such a trap. When everything was settled, they passed the false news to Wu Xie, forcing him to set off for Leicheng.

This plan is quite crude, but as long as Wu Xie calms down and thinks carefully, it is not difficult for him to find the flaws in it with his brain.

But the problem is, when it comes to best friends, no one can really stay calm.

After all, people are made of flesh and blood, not cold machines.

In other words, except Wu Xie, everyone including Fatty tacitly chose to hide it from Wu Xie.

"It's the third day now. I don't have much time left. The next rain will probably come in the next few days. If I come late and miss the rain, I'm afraid we will be delayed for a long time."

"I don't know if his condition can last until then."

In the cavity, Hu Ming and the other two sat together leaning against the rock wall, closing their eyes to rest. After taking a look at the weather forecast sent by Wu Erbai, the blind man said with some concern.

The three swords that were cut in half were thrown aside casually.

"It doesn't matter. Fatty is by his side. Fatty is very thoughtful and time is tight. He should selectively reveal some information to Wu Xie."

"It's likely that Fatty and Wu Xie came here directly, instead of taking a long detour from where we came from..."

"In other words, blind man, the secret code you left for Wu Xie in the Dumb Village was wasted... I am your father? Are you really addicted to being a father? Go and have a baby yourself!"

Hu Ming opened his eyes and lit a cigarette to kill time.

The outside was filled with poisonous barriers, and they had no place to kill time. They could only sit here in a daze and chat idly.

The battle with "The First Emperor" three days ago was undoubtedly tough.

Relatively speaking, "The First Emperor" was not so strong that Hu Ming and the other two were helpless. It was just that he was too difficult to deal with. His immortality, which was even more amazing than cheating, was really a headache.

Fortunately, during the fight, Hu Ming finally found the best opportunity and nailed the deadly weapon that Hong Xia brought back from the top of Mount Everest into the center of the "First Emperor's" forehead.

It is a peculiar rock mineral that is found next to the mother stone that created a person like "First Emperor".

From the very beginning, people like the "First Emperor" were not truly immortal.

They simply replenish far more than they consume.

Vitality...This is an extremely abstract and mysterious concept. So far, no one can clearly explain what vitality is.

However, the mother stone made this abstract thing concrete and quantified, and at the same time gave people like the First Emperor a special means to replenish their own vitality.

This was deciphered from the stone tablet that Hu Ming found underground in Gutongjing.

That kind of writing has not left any trace in history, and it is impossible to decipher it. It requires a huge amount of time.

But Hu Ming is a man with cheats!
After meeting the "First Emperor", his intuition told him that the information on the stone tablet was extremely important. Fortunately, after returning to Gutongjing, he acquired a skill called "Proficiency in Written Language", which allowed him to successfully interpret the information above.

As Hu Ming expected, it recorded the secret of the immortality of the "First Emperor" and how to kill them cleanly!
