Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 738
The driver saw that the atmosphere was rather awkward, so he immediately changed the subject and changed the oil for the master, nothing to do with me and Bai Shuang.

Although it is summer at the moment, this place belongs to the plateau, and the temperature difference between day and night is quite large. Before entering the Kunlun Mountains, I already felt a little cold. I thought casually that the driver asked where Lu Su and I left, and we It's not bad to think, they really went due west.

On the contrary, if they just enter the Kunlun Mountain Pass, then they should go directly to the northwest.

So I turned on the flashlight and followed with Bai Shuang, ignoring the two drivers.Right now, it's pitch black and there's no other light sources, which means that Lu Su and the others have gone a little far, so we don't need to deliberately hide.

The road under my feet grew some unnamed short grass mixed with gravel, which was not easy to walk on.Walking against the night wind, Bai Shuang asked me: "Shall we wait for another person?" I knew she was talking about the real Lu Su, so she said: "Let's go our own way, that kid already has a heart to die, If he wanted to partner with us directly, he would have already opened his mouth."

Bai Shuang was a little puzzled when he heard this, and said, "If that's the case, why did he send you a message?"

I thought for a while, and said, "You treat us as a chess game." After all, this kid is still a little tender, probably because he has been deceived miserably these years, so he is very vigilant, and his acting style is a bit timid.In my opinion, the three of us are actually the best choice, but he chose to go his own way, probably out of defense against us, and secondly because he thought that if he failed, there would still be us shot.He somewhat overestimated my ability, and at the same time he was too defensive, otherwise he could cooperate.

I analyzed the reasons for this to her, and then said: "He must be one step ahead of us, he should already be ahead." After all, it took us some time to replenish our equipment later.

Walking along the way, it didn't take me long to find some clues. The obvious clues were that a bush stick was inserted into the soil, and a neat red cloth strip was tied on the top, with the word Lu on it.

Bai Shuang asked in surprise, "Is there a road sign for us?"

I nodded and said, "It seems that he is worried that we will go the wrong way." After all, Zhen Lu Su has too little experience, and he somewhat underestimated my reaction ability.But then, Bai Shuang raised a question: "Then why didn't he send you a message directly?"

I froze for a moment, yes, there is a signal in this place, and it's not a no-man's land.

Thinking of this, I took out my phone.The signal condition on the mobile phone is relatively good, but there is no display of new messages.I felt a little weird in my heart, but I couldn't put it into words.How can a normal person do things with simplicity and difficulty?Why is it so troublesome when you can be notified by sending a message?
Could it be that the real Lu Su had some cramp in his head?I remember a period of time when I was a teenager, because I liked to think about some irrelevant issues, so I often lost my mind when walking.On the small path of the school, there is obviously a road that can lead directly to the corridor, but I always unconsciously choose the easier one.

I still can't understand this kind of behavior, maybe it's really just a kind of brain-stopping behavior?

Helpless, the two of us can only put this aside and continue walking along the established route. Every once in a while, we can see road signs, but we don't see the figure of Zhen Lu Su. It is obvious that their progress must be fast There are so many people, and after this walk, they walked for a whole night.

Bai Shuang was really overwhelmed. She didn't have altitude sickness at first, but because she was too tired, her lips were already a little blue when it was daylight. Considering her physical condition, I decided to rest in place for a while.

I'm used to traveling long distances, so although I'm tired, I can bear it. As soon as Bai Shuang lay down on the ground, she fell asleep immediately.I sat on a high place and looked around. I have already entered a desolate area. In the distance, I can see some animals from time to time, such as Tibetan antelopes. They run very fast and disappear in a flash. up.

Standing at this position, I could already see the snow-capped mountains in the distance. I ate the jerky and let Bai Shuang take a nap for about forty minutes, then dragged her up and continued walking. In fact, I really hope that she can take the initiative now. Give up, after all, I don't know if there will be any danger in the future.

Tired, we walked for more than an hour, and at around six o'clock in the morning, we finally approached the snow-capped mountains.Through the binoculars, I saw a tent and a bonfire at the foot of the snow-capped mountain. Although Ying couldn't see it clearly, it was undoubtedly Lu Su and Bai Sanye.Strangely, I didn't find any trace of Zhen Lu Su around.

Bai Shuang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems that they have camped."

I nodded and said: "It's not hard, they must rest. It seems that they are in a hurry. I guess they will rest until noon at most, and then they will enter the snow mountain." Bai Shuang was dumbfounded, calculated the time, and said : "That's four hours of rest at most! They haven't slept all day and night!"

I glanced at her and said, "Are you afraid? I'm afraid that there is still time to leave now. You have entered the depths of the snow-capped mountains. Even if you want to retreat alone, you will not be able to retreat."

Bai Shuang pouted, telling me not to underestimate her, so we found a low place to camp, ate some food, and turned on the alarm clock to sleep.It is daytime now, there is no danger, and the camping position is relatively low, as long as Lu Su is fine and does not go back, he will not find us.

I slept soundly this time, and we didn't crawl out of the tent until the alarm clock woke us up.As I expected, Lu Su really chose to set off at noon, and he didn't want to rest at all. When we woke up, they had just finished eating and were planning to pack the tent.

Seeing this, Bai Shuang gave me a thumbs up and said, "Okay, you guessed right again, are you the roundworm in his stomach?"

I smiled and said, "It's not roundworms, it's from experience." In the past few years, I have traveled all over the world, and I still have some experience.

Bai Shuang thought for a while, and said: "You are a very thoughtful person. Living with you must be very tiring. My Doudou is better..." Halfway through the speech, she became a little depressed and didn't say anything more.I was a little embarrassed, and said: "It's all my fault, don't worry, I will try my best to find him and let you two live a good life."

Bai Shuang nodded, and finally said: "I know you two have a good relationship, Doudou told me that he is stupid as hell, thanks to you taking care of him these years. If I said something unpleasant before, you Don't take it to heart."

I smiled, and then nodded. After the two of them packed up the tent, they ate something on the spot before slowly following. Both have no fighting power.If Lu Su and I were to face each other head-on, I would not be able to match the value of force.

When we reached the foot of the mountain, there was no snow under the mountain, but the soil was relatively loose, so we could clearly see the footprints left by the housekeeper.When I saw this, I felt even more uneasy. The footprints belonged to two people, that is to say, they belonged to Lu Su and Mr. Bai, so what about the real Lu Su?
Hasn't he been following?
Why did the person disappear halfway through the follow-up?

Bai Shuang frowned and said, "I always feel that there is something wrong here." Then, she turned around with a telescope and looked back, as if she wanted to find the real Lu Su.Obviously, nothing was found in the end, so Bai Shuang put down his observation glasses and asked me what I thought with his eyes.

In fact, I can't see through the real Lu Su's intentions. Since he can leave the road signs by himself, he must be safe. Now that he suddenly disappeared, it is obvious that he hid himself.

Could it be that he has some plans?
After thinking about it, I can't figure out this young man's mind, so he is mature, but he is too immature in certain things. If he is immature, there is no way to cover up the distorted hatred in his eyes.

Some people say that those who are not afraid of death are the scariest.

In fact, what is really scary is the person who has nothing to worry about in the world.People who are not afraid of death will worry about those they care about, so they act with scruples.And when a person has no worries and is not afraid of death, there are many things he can do.

I realized that I had underestimated the real Lu Su, and it was difficult to figure out his purpose now, so I had no choice but to shake my head and continue to follow the traces left by the two of Lu Su.With this walk, we went directly to more than seven o'clock that night.

At first we could still see the rocks, but the further we went in, the rocks were gradually covered by snow. Bai Shuang and I put on winter clothes to charge and continue our trek.The Kunlun Mountains extend from west to east, and at this moment, we are going deep from east to west, and our eyes are full of snow. Since we haven't entered deep enough, we don't see anything like glaciers. Under the night wind, we can look up. See the sky full of stars.

There is no light pollution, and the black night sky forms a strong contrast with the twinkling stars.

In the end, we chose to camp in a snow ditch. Bai Shuang exhaled and said, "Finally, I can rest. I really don't know how the old man persisted. Tell me, where are they going?"
