Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 655 Cars

It took a lot of effort to dig out such a thing in vain, everyone sweated a little, and they didn't feel cold anymore, so they walked on the meadow until about three o'clock in the afternoon, when the thick meadow became thinner Some.

The ridge not far away exposed a large area of ​​virgin forest. It seemed that this area was already within the range of animal activities.

In this season, although animals such as snakes have already hibernated, there are still animals that do not hibernate come out to look for food, and various movements from afar appear to be full of vitality.

They walked for most of the day, and now they finally arrived at a dry place with grass, shallow water and far away, and immediately spread a raincloth on the ground to rest. Once the stiff muscles relaxed, the comfort was not to mention.

There is a professional photographer in the team, who should be responsible for the inspection and recording.It was a young man in his mid-twenties, with good physical strength, carrying heavy camera equipment on his back. After resting enough, he assembled the camera and began to select scenes around him.

The one-eyed dragon looked interesting, so he followed. The two wandered around and walked a little far away. We didn't pay attention at first, but after a while, the one-eyed dragon suddenly yelled: "Master, come and see." He seemed to have found something. The voice seemed extremely excited.

"The head of the family?" Dui Liu looked at me with a puzzled look on his face, "Is he calling you?" Out of identity concealment, Cyclops always called me by my name, why...

I reckoned that he had discovered something, so I yelled smoothly, and without answering Team Liu's question, I stood up immediately, and Wen Min and Wen Min walked towards the place where Cyclops was.

Team Liu, a physically and mentally strong woman, naturally wouldn't miss it and followed her.

When we waded through the grass, we saw the one-eyed dragon and the photographer with their backs facing us, with their buttocks facing the sky, bent over, and waving their hands constantly, as if they were fiddled with something. When we walked in, we found them. He was cleaning up the surrounding weeds with his dagger.

Following the movements of the two of them, another thing appeared from the grass.This time it was not a missile-like thing like before, but an off-road vehicle half-sinked in the sand.

When I saw it, I couldn't help being surprised. There is no road in this place, and the meadow is not suitable for vehicles at all. How could this off-road vehicle be here?

Cyclops looked at it and said, "It's a red jeep, yo, it's made in China, and I can't tell the model..." This kind of model should be more than 30 years ago, but the strange thing is that from the appearance of the car, Can't see the brand.

I realized right away that the car was most likely purpose built.

Wen Min observed the exterior structure of the car, and finally frowned and came to a conclusion: "Although there is no mark on the body, I suspect that this is a military vehicle. Look at its rear shape, it seems to be used to hold something , and the material is very hard..." While speaking, Team Liu moved to the other side of the car, and then she suddenly said, "That's right, this should be a custom-made military car, otherwise, at that time, it was impossible for ordinary cars to use it. Put on this bulletproof soft glass."

Bulletproof soft glass?
Before we could understand, she made a sign for us to go to her.Everyone went around the front of the car and walked to the other side to have a look, and they couldn't help being greatly surprised.

Because the jeep is inserted into the sand at an angle, we were standing on the opposite side and couldn't see the window, but now we turn around, and the window on this side is facing upwards, so the entire glass is exposed. I saw a depression the size of a basketball on the glass, as if someone had hit the iron sheet with some heavy object.

But what is in front of me is not iron sheet, but glass. If this is ordinary glass, this kind of situation will definitely not happen, and it must be smashed.But now, the glass is not broken, except for the depression in the center, the rest is still intact.

Wen Min tapped on the car glass with his hand, nodded immediately, and said, "It's bulletproof soft glass. This material is very expensive and restricted in 30 years. It seems that our guess is correct."

I remembered the missile-like thing I found in the morning, and now I found a mysterious military vehicle in the meadow for no reason. Could it be that something happened in this place 30 years ago?I stared at the mark the size of a basketball on the glass, and wondered in my heart, what kind of force would leave such a large mark on the soft glass?You know, even if a bullet hits it, there is only one bullet mark at most, so isn't the force that hit the glass at the beginning more explosive than the bullet?
While observing the glass, out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly caught a glimpse of something in the rear part of the car, but due to the angle of view, I couldn't see it clearly.I adjusted the angle several times and didn't understand it. I just felt that there seemed to be a bunch of things at the rear.

What the hell is that?

I tried to open the car door, but found that the car door was locked from the inside, and the one-eyed man was surprised: "Could it be that there are people inside?" After he said this, I looked at the black shadow at the rear, and the more I looked at it, the more I felt it looked like a The figure immediately said: "Go get the guy, let's pry the door open." This kind of old-fashioned car lock is manually opened from the inside, so it can only be pried at this moment.The rest of the people saw the movement and immediately came to help. Thanks to the large number of people, we pried open the door of this big steel guy not long after.

The moment the car door was opened, a disgusting breath rushed out, instantly making everyone standing at the car door dizzy and their stomachs churning, except for me and Cyclops, everyone who was smoked was without exception Couldn't help throwing up.

This smell is really bad, but I am not unfamiliar with it, because it is the smell of corpses.The corpse was sealed in the coffin for a long time. Even if the corpse rotted and turned into dry bones, the corpse's breath would still linger in the coffin.

Cyclops and I took a step back, waiting for the smell to dissipate.

It seemed that the thing behind that was indeed a corpse.

Strange, how could someone die in a car?Killing and abandoning corpses?If so, how could the door be locked from the inside?
The only possibility is that there was a living person in the car at the time, and that person locked the door, and finally died inside.

The rest of the people vomited in the dark, but Team Liu was the first to react, waving his hands and saying, "No, no, what kind of stink is this?"

Wen Min said: "The smell of corpses, haven't you smelled them during your daily investigations?"

Liu Dui's face was pale, and he said that he usually digs bones directly from the mud, so there is no corpse smell.After a while, the smell almost dissipated, and the rest of the people were a little timid. After all, these people mainly came here to exert their strength, and they were not good at dealing with dead people.On the contrary, Cyclops didn't care, he really couldn't see that he was so fierce on weekdays, I saw him take out a glove and put it on casually, then got into the car, and after a while, put the thing in the corner of the car It was wrung out, and it turned out to be a corpse.

It may be due to the climate or the sealing is too good, the corpse did not turn into a bone, but a mummy. The moment the corpse was unscrewed from the car, everyone took a step back, and the female doctor couldn't help it. Covering his mouth, it is estimated that fresh people have seen a lot, but it is probably the first time to see a mummy.

The eyes of the people looking at Cyclops immediately changed, becoming admiring and weird, probably wondering why this blind man is so sloppy, twisting the corpse is like twisting a chicken.Cyclops' unusual reaction caught Team Liu's attention, and a trace of suspicion immediately appeared in her eyes, but in the end she looked at Wen Min again, presumably thinking of Wen Min's identity, the doubt in her eyes faded a bit.

I suddenly felt something was wrong. This feeling was mixed with guilt and a very subtle psychology, which was doubt.

Wen Min and I have known each other for the past two years, and I know her character very well. She is a person with an extremely strong sense of justice, and she is also very affectionate, otherwise she would not fight me to the death over and over again.Team Liu obviously trusts her very much, but not long ago, she and I were planning to 'eat black team Liu'.

From a certain point of view, I should be grateful for her dedication, and even feel guilty. Such an originally righteous person was dragged into the muddy water step by step because of meeting me.However, after these thoughts, there was still a trace of doubt.

I thought of the black knife in the hand of the lazy man, and the 'traitor'.

According to the speculation at the time, the spy should be one of Zhong Gong, Haricha Gai and Wen Min.I've never doubted Wen Min before, but now I can't help feeling a little suspicious.

The Wen Min in my heart should not be the kind of person who would betray the trust of her friends. Liu Dui trusts her so much, she will not plan to cheat Liu Dui.

Is there something wrong with her, or something wrong with me?

Is it because I smeared this righteous and affectionate person that made her come to this point?

My heart was heavy, my brain was like being soaked in ice water, and I felt a little cold.

This corpse was wearing a military uniform, the color had turned black, and it was stuck together with the corpse. In the dark eye sockets, eyeballs shrunk to the size of raisins were embedded in the depths, covered in a layer of corpse oil, and smelled like corpses. Still very strong.

Because he kept one posture for a long time, the corpse oil glued his body together, forming a posture when he was dying. Even if the one-eyed dragon twisted the 'man' out like this, the corpse still maintained the original posture.

A black personal dagger was stuck in his chest, and the end of the dagger was his own hand.

Everyone immediately realized that this person committed suicide.

The man locked himself in the car and committed suicide.

What happened at that time?How could a soldier die in this place?
Cyclops held another thing in his left hand, which was a black notebook. He shook the notebook, handed the thing directly into my hand, and said, "I found this thing by his leg, and he held a notebook in his left hand. A pen, indicating that before committing suicide, he also recorded something in the notebook, most likely it was his last words."

When I heard this, I immediately opened the book, and the rest of the people followed suit.
