Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 197 Meeting in a narrow road

When I saw this thing climbing up, I couldn't help but stand on end with fright. A group of people ran along the plank road, and there was a danger of falling into the water if they didn't pay attention.After a while, Robot No. [-], running wildly ahead, suddenly stopped and said, "What should we do now?"

I followed his line of sight and found that the plank road had come to an end, and there was an open space in front of it, but it was only two or three meters high, and it was easy to jump off.But that piece of open space was already covered with dense husks. Now, we really have no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth.

At the back of the open space is the huge tomb gate we saw before. Now that we looked closer, the tomb gate looks even taller, about six or seven meters high.The door of the tomb was tightly closed, with black wax sealed in the middle, apparently no one had opened it.

I couldn't help being taken aback, thinking where did that kid Wu Sidong hide?Could it be that he has been eaten by a corpse?

Some of the fast-moving corpses had already reached our feet, and everyone had nowhere to go, so they could only keep stepping on them, and finally took out the shovel to shoot them, so as to delay the time.

Tofu's head was covered with sweat, and he said, "Old Chen, you seem to have told me before that hujiazi don't eat, right?"

I said: "What I'm talking about is that after the corpse rots, corpse insects will breed. When the corpse insects eat the corpse and leave only the skeleton, they will breed corpse husks, but I don't know what they eat. Now I suspect, Husks are actually cannibals.”

Tofu looked like he was about to cry, and said, "Didn't you say that if you survive a catastrophe, you will have future blessings? Why do I think this is a lie?"

There are already more and more corpse husks, and the Wang Youtan under the feet seems to be a corpse-making machine, with corpse husks constantly floating out of it.Soon, we couldn't finish filming, and there were corpses crawling on us all the time, and some of them got into the thighs along the trouser legs, and Tofu wailed: "Ah, my little brother, my little brother!" The little brother was bitten."

I just wanted to say, if this goes on, not only the little brother will be bitten, but the little chrysanthemum will also be bitten, but before I can open my mouth, I see a burst of strong light suddenly bursting out in the open space in front of me, but it is a tongue of flame It squirted out.

I saw three people coming out of the darkness, wearing uniform clothes, holding high-pressure guns in their hands, and spraying fire at the corpses in the open space. In an instant, black smoke billowed on the ground.

These husks have lived in a dark, damp and cold environment all year round. When they suddenly encountered such a high temperature, they retreated for a while, and all retreated into the water, floating and sinking in the water as if waiting to see.

We were still standing on the plank road, and this sudden change left us stunned for a moment.In fact, we also have high-pressure muskets, but they were lost when we encountered shipwreck at sea.It was almost fatal just now, but after these three people appeared, the crisis was resolved in an instant.

Although we didn't recognize the three people who emerged from the darkness, we could tell at a glance from their clothes that they were the Fusang people.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to do for a while.

I thought that the group of Fusang people had already died in the nine-coffin tomb, who would have thought that they would suddenly appear from here.Apparently, they arrived at the clearing earlier than we did, and may have been watching us in the dark.

Meeting each other on a narrow road, in this case, it is naturally an enemy and not a friend. At this moment, one of the Fusang people said something to us.It was a tall Fusang man, very alert, holding a musket in one hand, and seemed to have good skills.

I lowered my voice and asked Professor Lin, "What is he talking about?"

Professor Lin said: "He told us to go down." After Professor Lin finished speaking, he also replied in Japanese. The two came and went, and I couldn't understand what they said.After a while, Professor Lin became excited and said, "Sidong is in their hands."

Tofu was shocked: "They managed to catch Wu Sidong? It seems that they are very skilled!"

Professor Lin's expression became heavy, and he said, "They also came to rob the tomb. It's strange, how did the Fusang people know that there is an ancient tomb here." When I got down to the open space, several headlights gathered together, and I immediately found that there were not three people in this group, but four!

Behind the three of them, there was a tall man standing against the stone wall. The man was very strange, so our eyes were attracted to it at once. There was no other reason, because the man's face had a black face. mask.

Judging from his tall and straight figure, he should be very young. He was dressed differently from those of the three Fusang people. He was wearing a black vest, and his bare arms could be seen with fine muscles. His hair was very black. I can't see the face and expression.

He folded his arms around his chest and leaned against the stone wall, looking careless. He held a rope in his hand, and the other end of the rope was tied to the unconscious Wu Sidong, as if he was leading a dog.Seeing us, the man didn't move. Under the mask, a pair of dark eyes looked at us coldly.

The chill in those eyes made me wary, I knew this was not a man to mess with.

The senses of the four robots were even more sensitive. They probably sensed the danger of the person opposite, and the four of them raised their guns.Anyway, there were only four of us, and there were eight of us, each with a gun.

Thinking of this, I became more confident, and I felt safe with a gun.

Tofu sensed the seriousness of the atmosphere, lowered his voice, and turned his head to me and said, "Old Chen, the kid with the mask on the opposite side looks more pretentious than you. Look at that posture, it reminds me of the big boss in the TV series." scene."

I said lightly: "Don't lie, if he is really a big boss, I will finish him now." Tofu's crow's mouth has always been very effective, I don't want to have an extra opponent, and it is an opponent who is not easy to mess with at first sight.

At this time, the masked man waved his hand, and the three Fusang people put down the high-pressure guns in their hands and began to talk to Professor Lin.We couldn't understand the whole process. Professor Lin's expression kept changing. After a while, the three Fusang people retreated to the place against the mountain wall, and Professor Lin gave us a wink, indicating to find a place to talk.

After a while, we reached the mountain wall on the other side, and the two groups of people formed a confrontation, separated by an open space covered with tomb bricks.

Before we could ask questions, Professor Lin took the initiative to explain the content of the conversation. After listening to it, we felt angry for a while.It turns out that this group of people came to rob the tomb as well. How they knew that there was an ancient tomb on this island is unknown, but these people are very arrogant and demanded that we exit the ancient tomb immediately, otherwise they will punish us Kill them all.

Tofu sneered and said, "Damn, what do they think they are? Kill them all? It's a joke, don't we think we are vegetarians with guns in our hands?"

The stern face of Robot No. [-] suddenly became ferocious, and he smiled rarely, and said, "The equipment they have is good, and they can just snatch it. I haven't killed anyone for a long time." Personally, his eyes suddenly became cold.

Professor Lin asked us: "What should we do now?"

I said: "It's better to strike first." Now that things are going on, is it possible that we really quit?It's a joke, the tiger doesn't grow hair, it really thinks we are critically ill.The four robots obviously had the same idea as me, their expressions became serious and cold, ready to start a war at any time.

At this moment, Professor Lin sighed, "But Sidong is still in their hands."

Duan Fei's eyes turned red immediately, and said, "We can't ignore him."

I feel a bit embarrassed, from a personal point of view, I think Wu Sidong dies as soon as he dies, it doesn't affect me, but for other people, this is a tricky thing, such as tofu, he touched his chin and said: "This kid usually deserves a beating when he speaks, but we can't ignore him. We must save him."

Gu Wenmin also nodded, thinking that saving people is the most important thing.

After all, my thoughts are not the same as theirs. I don't know if this has anything to do with the curse of Ghost Face. Is it because of the curse that made me cold-blooded, or because I was born like this.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help thinking of the statement on the photo, and said to myself: Maybe this is heredity.

Of course, we must listen to the opinions of the majority of people. Except for me, everyone has decided to save people. Naturally, I would not express a different opinion at this time, so I nodded in agreement, but I casually asked them a question : "The condition for exchanging Wu Sidong is to let us leave here? Do we still want the Liuhe Seal?"

Professor Lin obviously had a hard time making a choice, so he sighed and didn't speak.

After a while, there probably couldn’t wait any longer, a Fusang man came to negotiate, and I felt annoyed when I heard their birdsong, wondering if they could understand the documents in the tomb?Isn't this a waste of things?
As the negotiation continued, Professor Lin became emotional. At this moment, he began to gesture at us with his hands that had been placed behind his back. When I saw it, I felt a sudden shock in my heart. He meant to let us make a surprise attack.

Sure enough, Jiang is still old and hot. Although Professor Lin is usually rigid, he is also very treacherous at the moment. While dealing with the Fusang people, he is secretly gesturing, signaling us to make a quick decision.The four robots' marksmanship is very precise, and they cooperate with each other tacitly. At the moment when Professor Lin gestured, he suddenly raised his gun, and each of them aimed at one and pulled the trigger.

Little Fusang, go to hell.

I squinted my eyes, preparing to watch the next scene of the four dead bodies, but what I heard in my ears was not a gunshot, but a click.

I was taken aback, it was the sound of a gun jamming.

Tofu stared in shock, and stammered: "Isn't it, is it so unlucky? The gun still jams now?"

Yes, the guns in the past were easy to misfire and jam, but now with technology updates, the chance of gun jams is very low. How can the four guns of the robot jam at the same time?Damn, what the hell.
