Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 191 Death
After understanding her thoughts, the only thing I can do is push the coffin lid with all my strength.Her figure looked weak, but she contained a lot of strength. Taking advantage of this effort, she hooked her legs, exerted force from her waist, and sat up abruptly.Even the corpse under her that was stuck around her neck also sat up.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Wenmin lowered his neck violently. Due to this posture, the Fusang man's head was exposed, and most of his tongue stuck out. He was obviously strangled to death, maybe he strangled himself to death, and now, He started pinching people.

As soon as Gu Wenmin lowered her head, I immediately understood what she meant, and let go of my hand suddenly. The coffin cover was not blocked by me, and I swept over in an instant. The body of the Fusang man, because he didn't dodge, his head was directly stuck, with a cracking sound, the bones of his neck were completely shattered, and he was almost crushed, but Gu Wenmin was not crushed because he lowered his head at that time.

Looking at the head protruding from the side of the coffin, I couldn't help showing a smile. I guess this smile should be very ferocious. The next second, I held the Fusang man's head with both hands, twisted it vigorously, and twisted it directly. 180 degrees, since his neck was already flattened by the coffin lid, I took his head off after twisting it.

Don't care about whether it's disgusting or not, I threw my head into the burning coffin behind me, and I immediately went to pry the lid of the coffin again, this time there was no ghost pressing on the coffin, as soon as half of the lid was exposed, most of Gu Wenmin's body came out She came out from inside, and said in a hoarse voice: "Quick, save the others!" She also had a strangle mark on her neck, she was in a mess, she quickly climbed out of the coffin, and continued towards the nearest coffin.

I asked, "Do you know where the tofu is?"

Gu Wenmin shook his head.

My heart sank suddenly, because I didn't expect that it would take a lot of trouble to save her just now, and there are still seven people trapped in the coffin. In terms of time, it is impossible for us to save all of them. Everyone was rescued safely, and even if they were rescued, some people would have been killed.

Rather than that, of course I want to save Tofu first, but unfortunately, we don't know which coffin he is in now, so we can only turn over one by one.

Everything that followed is self-evident. Almost every time a coffin is opened, there are zongzi filled with corpses, and some people inside are still struggling, and some are already unconscious. We didn't even have time to check whether it was dead or not. is live.The whole rescue process was very long, and almost every time a coffin was opened, it was a struggle, but I had already had the experience of killing zongzi twice, and I had mastered some rules, so the subsequent rescue was not as dangerous as the previous two .

In the end, the four robots were rescued, and they were all still alive. Professor Lin and Duan Fei were rescued. When the coffin was opened, Professor Lin did not move, and Duan Fei was still struggling.

Asphyxiated people, in fact, can be given first aid in the first 10 minutes, so as soon as Professor Lin came out, Gu Wenmin, who has first aid experience, began to give first aid to Professor Lin, and the four robots and I went to open the last coffin.

My heart was heavy, because I didn't expect that even six coffins were opened, and none of them were tofu.Could it be him in the last one?If it was him, it would have been more than 40 minutes since we were dragged into the coffin. Tofu does not have the physical strength of the four robots. To be honest, he is not as good as Wen Min in terms of combat effectiveness. During these four and 10 minutes, Would it have been...

These thoughts are lingering in my head, but the only thing we can do is to open the coffin.

After the coffin lid was pried open, a person was revealed inside, which was Tofu.

He was motionless, stuck on his neck, his face was black and blue.

I have never felt this way before, just like being struck by lightning, my brain roared, my legs softened, and I fell to my knees suddenly.

How could this be?
... I'm late.

Sorry bro, I'm late!
As the coffin lid was opened, the zongzi inside also jumped up, and the tofu was pressed on it, and it was led to sit up from the coffin.It was also a Hibiscus man, and before it got into trouble, I couldn't control myself, so I rushed over, grabbed it by the neck, and dragged it out of the coffin.I already had a lot of experience in dealing with zongzi. The original plan was that as soon as it appeared, I would use a shovel to jam its neck, and then robot No. [-] would stuff peach wood beads into its mouth to subdue it.But at this moment, under the hatred, I don't have any reason to speak of. It didn't take long to grab its neck, and this thing put its backhand on my shoulders with its amazing strength.

There are three common methods for Zongzi to attack people, one is to bite with mouth open, the other is to choke the neck, and the third is to put hands on shoulders and tear them directly with brute force.With this grab, it clasped my shoulder, as if it wanted to tear people apart.I couldn't dodge it right now, and seeing that it was about to kill it, the robot No. [-] on the side reacted very quickly, pulled out the dagger violently, and chopped off one of its hands.

There are two types of hard zongzi, one is as stiff as iron and contains corpse poison; the other is extremely powerful and likes to eat human flesh.The one we encountered probably belonged to the second type. The body was not very hard, and one hand was severed after being cut like this, and the tearing movement was also blocked.Taking advantage of this time, Robot No. [-] replaced my previous role, stuck the zongzi's neck from behind with a shovel handle, and the zongzi opened its mouth.

Robot No. [-] reminded me: "Quick, stuff!"

Right now because of the death of Tofu, my whole mind has become a little dull, and my brain is not flexible because of the great grief. After being reminded by the robot No. [-], I subconsciously stuffed the dragon mahogany bracelet into Zongzi's mouth.The thing stopped moving immediately.Now that things have come to an end, I don't have the heart to dismember the zongzi. I walk towards the coffin with trembling legs, get out the tofu inside, and try to break his hand that is stuck on me.

Robot No. [-] couldn't help but said, "Brother Chen, my condolences."

I didn't say a word, I was going to get Tofu's hands off first, but his hands were very stiff and it was not easy to handle.

Robot One sighed and said, "He has already gone."

I said, "It can still be used as a first aid."

At this moment, with Gu Wenmin's rescue, Professor Lin finally saved his life and woke up coughing.

I said: "Look, the old man can still be saved, he is a strong young man, how could he die so easily."

Robot No. [-] pursed his lips, squatted down, and said, "He's dead, his face has turned blue. Brother Chen, I know you have deep feelings, but... but the dead are gone, we are still in the ancient tomb, Take it easy." I stared at Tofu's black and blue face, and stretched out my hand to touch his neck, the freezing temperature, without the slightest beating pulse, chilled me down.

Yes, tofu is dead.

It's true, this time, it's really dead.

I couldn't say a word at all, I forgot where I was, I forgot my reason and calmness, and there was only one thought in my mind: I killed him, I shouldn't take him to risk, I shouldn't take him down fight.The moment I knew I was under a curse, I should have severed contact with Tofu.

But now, it's too late.

It's like the curse of Ghost Face: it won't deal with you directly, it will only start with the people around you, and let them go to death one by one.

I sat there blankly, staring at Tofu's blue face, my mind was in chaos.I consider myself a calm person. My experience tells me that no matter what the situation is, I can't lose my mind. Only by keeping a calm and clear mind can I solve the problem.But now I can't calm down, and the images of my acquaintance with tofu over the years flashed in my mind.

When I first failed in business, Tofu took out all my savings to support me. When I was the poorest, we only ate a pack of instant noodles a day, and we added a lot of water to the noodles. Most of the time, what we poured down was noodle soup.

I'm even thinking now, if Tofu's parents passed away on a plane in the third year after we met, is it related to me?

I don't know how long I sat on the ground, the dead silence in the tomb, mixed with the smell of corpses and burning coffins, the air was beating accordingly, and the passage of time was also difficult to detect.I stared at Tofu's corpse and thought a lot, and sometimes my head was empty, and I don't know how long it took, Gu Wenmin approached me, her eyes were red and swollen, with tears in her eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Chen Xuan, don't be like this, Xiao Dou I won’t feel comfortable leaving.”

I turned my head, stared at her pretty face, and said lightly, "It has nothing to do with you."

Gu Wenmin bit her lip and said hoarsely: "He is also my friend, I know you are in pain now, but...it has been a long time, you have been sitting here for five hours."

Five hours?

I took a deep breath, feeling exhausted, and said, "I see, let's go." I picked up Tofu's body and prepared to carry it on my back for the road.Robot No. [-] stopped him, and said after a while: "I also had a colleague who died in the process of performing a mission. I understand how you feel, but...but it is unrealistic to carry his corpse, you should understand."

"This is my business." I said, "I can't let my brother rot in this place."

Robot One sighed and said, "It can be cremated."

Gu Wenmin lowered his head silently all the time, now he stared into my eyes and said firmly: "I support you, let's take him back together."

Gu Wenmin was very haggard at the moment, her face was pale, and her body was covered with stains. There were many things in her eyes, tenderness, tolerance, pain and firmness.

After a while, I found my voice, stared at her, and said slowly: "I don't need you, this is my own business, from now on... don't worry about my business."

Gu Wenmin's eyes widened suddenly, his expression looked very hurt, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Chen Xuan, I know you are in pain now, but we can face it together...I..."

I interrupted her and said lightly: "What are you facing? You and I have no chance."

Gu Wenmin was taken aback, and said, "What do you mean?"

I said: "That's what you heard. I like hot girls, not a woman like you who would plot against me behind my back, put handcuffs on me, and apply for my room card and documents. I'm not looking for a mother. "
