Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 156 The Wreck
Gu Wenmin sighed and said: "As expected, let's return to the voyage quickly." Everyone turned around and began to paddle towards the reef, preparing to return to the original place and continue to wait for rescue.Just when everyone turned around, the waves in the sea suddenly surged for some reason, and they were so fierce that everyone almost fell into the water. Fortunately, they reacted in time and were not thrown into the sea.When the surge subsided, we looked up again, only to find that the raft where the corpse was placed had been turned over, and the surface was wet, and the corpse had also been thrown into the sea.

Tofu said: "Not good, it must be this little ghost again." We don't need tofu to say that we also understand that the sudden surge just now must have come to save the little girl. It seems that the father and daughter are planning to follow We're on it.This time I didn't intend to be polite to her, I plunged into the water in one breath, and sure enough, I saw the little girl attached to the raft again, so I came up with a dirty trick, saying that I would dissect her body. I stretched out my hand to pull the little girl over, but just as I stretched out my hand, the underwater little girl suddenly turned around, her head was facing me, and her messy black hair was piercing towards me.

This blow was really powerful, I only felt a pain in my chest, and my whole body was hit and sank into the sea.I don't think so, the little girl is in trouble, and I'm afraid she won't be her opponent in the water, so I have to get on the raft quickly.Unexpectedly, before I could make a move, the little girl suddenly jumped up and overturned our raft. In an instant, everyone fell into the water, and the little girl's figure was also mixed in the crowd for a while and was blocked.

When I surfaced, I saw that the raft was still drifting towards the man-eating spiral, and the rest of the people were busy with rescue equipment. Fortunately, these equipment bags are made of waterproof material, so there is no need to worry about damage, but they are afraid of sinking into the deep sea. So for a while our first reaction was to rescue the equipment first, so we didn't care about the little girl.

When we salvaged all the equipment, everyone struggled to float on the water, but the little girl had already disappeared without a trace.

Ahead is the raft we are swimming against the current, and there is a long distance in the back. We are dragging our equipment now, and it may be difficult to swim back.Needless to say, Professor Lin, after all the troubles these days, it is a miracle that he didn't report to Lord Yan.

Tofu was furious, and said, "That little girl is too uneducated. At least we saved her. Where is she? No, is it a corpse?"

Gu Wenmin buried her head in the sea for a few times, and said, "I didn't see it, I don't know where I went... Could it be?" She looked at the raft in front of her, and said, "Could it be hiding in the raft again? Under the raft?"

Tofu stroked his chin and speculated, saying that since her purpose was to harm us, we are no longer on the raft, so why push the raft towards the cannibal spiral bath?Could it be that there is something wrong with our thinking direction?Maybe the little girl didn't want to harm us at all, but had other purposes?
His words resonated with everyone. After all, it was a real child, and it made us feel uncomfortable to die like this. We don't want to think of her in a bad way. In addition, the tofu argument also made sense, Ah Ying said: "Why don't we go over and have a look." She is a woman, and she is softer than us old men in this regard, and her expression has already hesitated.

Carp said in a low voice, "Are you crazy? You don't even look at what's over there. What were you doing in the past? As fertilizer?" While the two were arguing, I kept thinking about the little girl's intentions. Now it seems that she seems She didn't want to harm us, so if that's the case, why did she push us into the cannibal spiral?

What exactly is she trying to tell us?
After arguing among the crowd, Gu Wenmin suddenly said: "Look, it's turned red." She has always been keen on observation, and when she said this, everyone looked in the direction of the cannibal spiral, and sure enough, that piece of green grass, At first, it was like being dyed, and one piece after another turned red, and the scene was spectacular, like a 3D movie.

We were watching intently, when Tofu suddenly patted my shoulder and said, "Old Chen, no, I remember what you said just now, these cannibal spirals only turn over after they are full, and turn the red meat underneath. partially exposed."

I said: "That's right."

Tofu said: "Then they have turned their belly out now, which means that they are full. How much does such a big man-eating spiral need to eat?" I suddenly understood, what Tofu really wanted to discuss with me , not the eating problem of the cannibal spiral, what he really wants to express is: How much food do you have to eat to feed such a large piece of cannibal spiral?
Duan Fei speculated: "Maybe they ate a whole school of fish?"

As soon as Tofu reminded me, I also felt that something was wrong. There was no change in the cannibal spiral before, so how could it turn over in a short while?The only possibility is that they are feeding at the same time for a short period of time, which is the only way this can happen.Someone took a photo of the cannibal spiral before, and the sea surface is blue and red. It is really rare to see such a scene of turning red at the same time.

What exactly did they eat?
At this time, Ah Ying said again: "I heard that the man-eating spiral will not attack after eating, let's go and have a look, I always feel that the child is asking us for help." None of us said anything, we looked at each other, For a while, I didn't know whether I should agree to this request.In the end, it was Tofu who made the decision. He said that since Mrs. Tang entrusted her daughter to us, she would help her with life or death. Since the man-eating spiral is full now and there is no harm, why not go over and have a look.His statement immediately won the consent of the three women. Most women have no natural resistance to children, let alone the children we seemed to rescue but died tragically in the end.

Miss Tang's unrepentant appearance flashed across my mind, and then I remembered his last closed eyes, so I stopped struggling and said, "I agree to check it out." After all, this is not my business alone. After a vote by a show of hands, all members passed, and we immediately chased after the raft ahead with our equipment bags on our backs.

The little girl seemed to know our decision, and the raft stopped in place. After a while, everyone climbed up out of breath, and then picked up the wooden paddle, accelerated, and headed towards the blood-red man-eating spirulina. go.

The piece of man-eating spirulina seems not far away, but in fact it took a lot of effort to row over. It was already two o'clock at noon, the sun was shining, and everyone's mouths were dry and there was no water to drink. , in this case, there is no way to catch the travel fish, so I can only endure it first.After paddling for about [-] minutes, we finally got close to the man-eating spirulina. Before entering it, we were already overwhelmed by the unique stench of seaweed.

It was different from the normal sea fishy smell, it was a bit like the smell of rotting fish, it made my throat itchy and my stomach churned after smelling it.

As we get closer, the faces of these man-eating spirulina are also exposed in our sight.The part of them floating on the sea was bright red, with a zipper opening in the middle, full of barbs and dark red flesh walls, like the mouth of some kind of animal.For our arrival, these man-eating spirulina did not respond, just like ordinary plants.

Because the man-eating spirulina is tightly connected into one piece, our raft can't get in at all, and the original plan fell through.

Wu Sidong said: "We can't blame us for this, we are powerless."

I'm not quite sure what the little girl wants us to do, but it's daytime, if it's night, maybe she can show up and tell us?Of course, this is just a guess in my mind. Now we have reached the periphery of the man-eating spirulina. Because the seaweed is dense, our raft cannot be rowed in, and then we have to go back the same way.

Just when all of us looked regretful and were about to return, out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a white thing in the man-eating spiral not far away, which looked more like some kind of metal. Can't figure out what it is.I made several guesses in my mind, how could there be metal in the sea?

What would it be?
The wreck of a ship?
The wreckage of the plane?
Either way, it meant someone was killed.My heart skipped a beat, and I thought: Is this why the little girl brought us here?Does she want us to save lives?But judging from the current situation, these man-eating spirulina have eaten enough and started drying their bellies. Even if something really happened, it is too late.

Seeing that I kept staring at one place without speaking, Gu Wenmin asked me what I was thinking. I pointed to the vaguely metal-like thing and told everyone my conjecture, and everyone looked very heavy for a moment.Tofu was even more indignant, saying: "These perverted plants should all be burned."

Gu Wenmin smiled wryly: "These metamorphosis plants happen to be made by humans. Don't forget, they are species that mutated because of the pollution of the marine environment."

Professor Lin looked at the area worriedly, and said, "Are there any survivors?"

No one answered his words, because the possibility is very low. Didn't you see that all the cannibal spirals are enjoying their bellies?Under the anger of Tofu, he suddenly made a move that made me laugh and cry. He shouted: "Madam, avoid." Then he stood in front, took off his trousers, and urinated on the man-eating spirulina basking in the sun.

A yellow soup flowed down the man-eating Spirulina's open mouth, making the originally heavy-eyed group cry or laugh for a while.After Tofu pissed, his anger subsided a little, and he asked me: "Old Chen, do you have any more, pee a little." How could I be as thick-skinned as him, waved my hand, and said, "Okay, I'm done venting." Just go back, we have nothing to do with this place, and it won’t be long before these things will sink.” We paddled back with the paddle, and suddenly found out, eh, why is the raft not moving?

Tofu hissed, and said to the void: "Little sister, don't be naughty, you have seen it too, we can't help it."
