Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 363 Blood
At this moment, we have traveled north along Xuelong Mountain for a long distance, and when we look back, there is only a vast expanse of whiteness left, and the footprints of the future tense are instantly covered up by the wind and snow.Everyone camped in a hurry, a group of 13 people, four tents, very fast.

We dug out the solid fuel and lit it, boiled some snow water in a small iron pot that came with us, and ate dry food.The quality of this group of Daodou is not high, while cursing the severe cold weather, while talking and talking.Tofu and I kept silent while we sat silently on the edge of the campfire. Half of our cold face lines were hidden in the darkness. Our dark eyes stared at the food on our fingertips. It hasn't changed a bit, and it seems out of place with the noisy atmosphere around it.

I have fought so many times, and this is the first time I have advanced with such a noisy team. Listening to the vulgar jokes and spouts from time to time, I am not even in the mood to eat. I am cold and tired, and I just want to drill Sleep in a tent.

At this moment, the mute stopped eating, and said coldly: "Shut up. Either eat or get out." The voice was neither fast nor slow, not counted as beating, and the cold tone was like a silencer bomb, noisy In the team, the sound stopped abruptly.Some people rubbed their noses awkwardly, shut up knowingly, ate in silence, and said nothing more.

Tofu smacked his tongue and whispered in my ear: "What a fool, when will I be able to get to this point?"

I whispered: "It's impossible for you in your life." We both whispered in a low voice, but just as I finished speaking, I suddenly saw the sharp and cold eyes of the mute, looking at me and Tofu suddenly. As if to see through everything, to see through our disguise.

Tofu hissed and couldn't say a word.The eyes of the mute and I met in the dancing firelight, and I felt a burst of great pressure.I looked at his frozen figure, and for a split second, I seemed to be staring at a photo: a photo of a statement.

Soon, this photo came alive, and the mute seemed to be just warning me and Tofu not to whisper, and then looked away.It wasn't until the meal was over that the team started to make noise again.At this time, the dumb will not care.

We still arranged night vigils in turn, in groups of two, and the mute himself did not need to participate, because he was the leader of the team and had privileges.The remaining 12 people, every two people, change about one and a half hours, that is to say, we have nine hours of rest time, from now on, we will get up at about six o'clock in the morning, plus the time for camping and eating Time, estimated to start at eight o'clock.

Tofu and I are in a group. Since we are silent gourds, we seem to be easily bullied, so the vigil time is arranged in the middle, which is the most uncomfortable, because we have to be woken up halfway through sleep. It takes one and a half hours to continue to sleep, which is not conducive to rest.In fact, I think it doesn’t matter whether you keep vigil or not in this snow-capped mountain. On weekdays, you sleep in the open and watch the night, mainly to guard against wild animals, but now you are in the snow-capped mountains, and it is the end of February. It's wind and snow raging, and there will be no wild animals at all.

It's just that although the dumb person doesn't talk much, he is very cautious and doesn't give everyone this chance to be lazy.The tent was a group of three, Lu Su, me, and a tofu, and everyone gave Lu Su more face, so he and the girl named Mengmeng stayed in the first shift, and after the guard, they could sleep until dawn.

Tofu and I huddled in the tent, people are particularly prone to sleepiness in the cold environment, and as soon as we got into the warm sleeping bag, we fell asleep in the dark and had some weird dreams.I don’t know how long it took, but we were woken up by a person. It was the thin and small man who could shrink bones. His code name seemed to be ‘Black Loach’. I said over my shoulder: "Hey, it's your turn."

Tofu rubbed his eyes, put his head on the chicken coop, got out of the sleeping bag in a daze, yawned and said, "I'm so sleepy, what's there to guard in the snowy mountains."

Hei Niqian just smiled and said, "Ask Boss Wu about this, I'm asleep, so you guys get up quickly." Then he left our tent, looked sideways, and saw that Lu Su had already fallen asleep, without a sound of.The tofu-headed chicks are pecking at rice bit by bit, their sleepy eyes are hazy, and they are almost drooling.Considering that Tofu's physical fitness is not good enough and he needs a good rest, I said, "I'm fine by myself, you continue to sleep."

Doufu regained his energy when he heard the words, shook his head, and said, "That won't work, we have the same blessings and share the same difficulties."

I know Tofu very well, so I said: "Okay, okay, don't pretend, I'm so happy, don't do this with me, and sleep on you." Seeing that Tofu was exposed, he laughed and said: "Tomorrow night I will also put water on you." Then he retreated back to sleep.

I put on my clothes and the jacket hat and sat by the fire.Although we have a large number of people and sufficient supplies, in order to prevent accidents, we try to save energy as much as possible.The fire is a solid fuel, so it doesn't burn much, and it can barely keep out the cold.It was the middle of the night, and the cold wind was blowing in the snow-capped mountains, and the temperature dropped even more. Even wearing professional polar winter clothing, I still felt cold and my fingers were numb.

After watching for a long time, I decided to get up and take a walk, exercise my frozen muscles and bones, while watching the time, there is still a full hour.The seconds felt like years, I thought it had been a long time, but only half an hour passed.Everyone's tents were arranged in four directions, east, west, south, east, north, and the campfire was in the center. I walked around the campfire circle and stomped my feet, making the sound of stepping on the snow.

A touch of white snow gathered on the top of the tent, fluttering in the wind and snow. Watching the night is a boring job.Throughout the day, he has been leading the way. Could it be that he knows the location of Puzhen's tomb?

Due to the terrain, during the daytime, my technique of looking forward to the grave will not work, so what method does the mute use to judge?
When it's cold, people's heads tend to become stiff, and with sleepiness, it's not the time to think about problems, so these doubts are just passed through my brain, and I don't have the energy to think about them.Time passed by every minute and every second. Suddenly, I heard a hissing sound behind me. I turned around and saw that someone had unzipped the tent. Then, a figure appeared. I saw, Can't help but be stunned, it's dumb.

He didn't know whether he was up at night or what, he got out of the tent and took a look at me. Because of the cold at the moment, I was wearing windproof glasses and wrapped my nose and mouth with a scarf. He probably wouldn't recognize me either.But I didn't expect him to speak to me: "Where is the other person?"

I was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that he was talking about tofu. I knew that the dumb person was very unreasonable. If I let him know that tofu was lazy, I didn’t know what would happen, so I suppressed my voice and changed it a bit. Tone, said: "Go shit."

The mute frowned, probably feeling contemptuous of my vulgar words, gave me a cold look, then left the range of the fire, and walked towards the opposite direction of the camp.I saw his back walking a little far away, guessing that he was going to let the grass go, so I quickly got into the tent, lifted the tofu out, and said, "Get up, the leader is checking the post."

"Cha Gang?" Tofu was still in a daze, and asked at a loss: "Which leader?" I got him up, and at the same time talked about the dumb thing. drowsy.

It took about twenty minutes before the mute came back, and I wondered if this kid was constipated, and if he had been put on for more than 20 minutes, wouldn't his ass be frozen?The mute ignored the two of us and went straight into the tent.I looked at the time, and there were still 10 minutes before the changing of the guard.

At this time, Tofu suddenly tugged at my sleeve, leaned close to my ear, and whispered: "There is blood, there is blood on dumb's pants, he must have hemorrhoids."

I couldn't help being taken aback, hissed, couldn't help but patted the tofu's head, and said in a low voice: "Your eyes are too irregular, and it's none of your business to have hemorrhoids."

Tofu pursed his lips, looking aggrieved, and said in a low voice, "I didn't mean to stare at him on purpose. You're standing and I'm sitting. As soon as he came into my sight, I looked at him at the same level. Didn't I happen to see him? There was really blood, a big lump, and the hemorrhoids were quite serious."

I couldn't help feeling strange when I heard Tofu say this.Of course I don't believe that Dumb has hemorrhoids, but what about the blood on his pants?Thinking of this, I involuntarily turned my eyes to the direction the mute was going at that time. I was puzzled, like a cat scratching, so I said to Tofu: "You stay here and watch, I'll go and have a look."

"where to?"

I said: "Don't worry about it, just stay here, I'll be back in a while."

"I'm afraid of the dark."

"There is fire to be afraid of darkness, don't pretend to be a woman with me, I will believe that you are a girl after I cut the root under you."

Tofu shrunk his neck, hesitated, and watched me leave.

Mute's footprints were not covered by the wind and snow, so I followed the footprints with a flashlight.The footprints have been spreading for more than ten minutes. Now I can be sure that the dumb man is definitely not out to let go. Who would run so far to pee in this icy and snowy place?
Why did he come out in the middle of the night?
At this moment, the footprints turned a corner in front of me and turned behind a rock. At this moment, I smelled a strong smell of blood, and my heart was pounding for a while.Some rocks are faintly exposed in the white snow. It seems that the snow on it was knocked off by something before.

What will be behind the rock?
What is that thing that smells like blood?
