Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 384
The four of us didn't dare to stay longer, so we hurriedly climbed along the ice cave.At that time, there were too many side roads, and Mengmeng and the others didn't know where they went. It was a terrible thing to be lost in this maze-like ice cave.After crawling for about ten minutes, the entrance of the cave gradually widened. When a person was as tall as a person, we stopped quickly, took out solid fuel to make a fire, and rubbed our frozen bodies.Tofu slowly recovered from the popsicle state, but his teeth were chattering, and he couldn't recover for a while.

In the process of warming up by the fire, Lu Su checked the equipment, frowned randomly, and said: "Energy and food are on our side, weapons and medicine are on Miss Meng's side." At this moment, I have recovered a lot, Jizi And tofu is dying.

It was impossible to move forward at the moment, and I said, "We've got to plan it out."

Lu Su sat cross-legged and thought, "I can't deal with the Heavenly Soldiers. We can only hope that we don't encounter them. As for the trapped corpses, they are elusive, but I'm here, so I'm not afraid. The three of you should be careful. It’s not such good luck to be frozen once.” Immediately afterwards, we took out the compass.According to the azimuth display, there is no error in our overall direction, we continue to move forward, slowly adjust the route in Ice Cave 3, and we can always go out.

At this moment, Jizi, who was half asleep and half awake, suddenly trembled all over and shrank into a ball. I stretched out my hand to check, and the secret channel was not good, and I had a high fever.The place was freezing cold, Jizi was already weak from drowning, but now he was stimulated by the chill of the corpse trapped in the ice, and his body immediately went wrong.

However, we don't have any medicines now.

The situation is a little tricky, what should I do now?
Not long after discovering this, Tofu also had a fever, and both of them had a severe fever, and they were in a coma. In a short time, two seriously ill patients appeared in our team.Lu Su and I each returned half of our clothes, and put Jizi and Tofu on to keep warm.Although I also feel cold, I have a stronger physique and can bear it for a while.In the end, the two discussed that they couldn't wait like this, they had to find a way to meet up with Mengmeng and the others to get the medicine.

The two immediately ate some food and drank some of the unfrozen water they had collected before, before moving forward with tofu and Jizi on their backs.

They were separated from us. Although the group had medicine, they didn't have much food and energy, including batteries, fuel and a series of things.The food is only what Old Smoker and Black Loach carried, and it won't last long, so Mengmeng and the others, as long as there are no accidents, should try their best to join us at this moment.

In this case, the way to meet is naturally not to run around in the ice cave to find each other. The only way is to move towards our common goal.As long as the routes are unified, sooner or later there will be opportunities for convergence.

Lu Su and I didn't dare to delay. With two patients on our backs, we sorted out the equipment and threw away everything that could be thrown away. After lightening our load, we continued to move forward.I felt that the tofu was burning hot against the skin of my neck. As time passed, the anxiety in my heart became more and more intense. I thought that this kid was already stupid enough, if he continued to burn like this, he would still be stupid?What happened to Mengmeng and their situation?In fact, what worries me the most is that if they encounter heavenly soldiers or trapped corpses, what should they do if they have already died somewhere?
Due to the heavy load, our speed is not fast. From time to time, the ice cave will come to an end, and we have to turn back and choose another fork to start again. This is like walking a maze. Maybe the straight line is not far away, but in this In a maze, people can really be trapped to death.

At this moment, Lu Su stopped, and abruptly put down Jizi from his back.I thought something happened in front of me, but when I looked carefully, I saw Yoshiko who was placed on the ground twitched all over her body, her breathing was short, her eyes were wide open, her consciousness may have been confused, and she was speaking in Japanese that I couldn't understand. .

Mr. Lu Su probed her nose with his hand, knowing that Jizi's condition was not good, he saw Lu Su put his ear to Jizi's heart, the smile on his face disappeared, his expression looked a little serious, and said: "The heartbeat is disordered. , there is a possibility of respiratory shock." Immediately afterwards, without further ado, first aid began.Helpless, these simple first aids seemed to have no effect, and Jizi's convulsions continued to worsen. At this moment, she seemed to recover a little, and suddenly began to speak Chinese, staring at Lu Su who was closest to her, her lips trembling.

Lu Su's gaze sank, and he turned his ear. Ji Zi didn't know what he said in Lu Su's ear, but saw Lu Su nodded.Immediately afterwards, he put on Jizi's clothes and touched them for about ten minutes. The people on the ground gradually stopped twitching.

I stretched out my hand to check her breath, and it was dead.

In the harsh environment in Douli, death from illness or poisoning is common, but when I saw Jizi's body, I couldn't help feeling depressed.Before we even saw the shadow of Pu Zhen, our team has already ushered in death one after another.

Tofu was still insane. Lu Su and I looked at each other, but no one spoke. After a while, I asked, "What did she tell you?"

Lu Su sighed slightly, and said: "She asked me to convey a word to Wu Shui. The specific content is her personal matter." I didn't continue to ask. .

At this moment, my heart was heavy, and I was always worried that Tofu would die suddenly from the disease. The colder the condition, the more dangerous the coma was, so I walked and talked to Tofu, who was unconscious, to mention his spirit .

I said, "Why did you throw me out first, why didn't you run first?"

Tofu said in a daze, "Because... because I sacrifice myself for others."

I said: "Then can you walk two steps by yourself, I'm almost tired."

Tofu regained some energy when he heard this, and scolded: "Brother, I'm a sick patient... Can you have some sympathy? You forgot that you broke your leg at work, and the first time you were hospitalized. The three little pigs who saved money at home were all smashed, do you know how many rolls the doctor gave me when counting the coins?"

I said: "Come on, don't mention it, half of the counts are counterfeit. I still don't understand. Where did you get so many counterfeit coins?"

Tofu said weakly: "At that time, there was a classmate who said that the new coins of one yuan could be exchanged for the old coins of two yuan. I was young and ignorant at that time, so I exchanged my savings with him."

After talking for a while, Doufu's energy improved, but the fever still persisted. He and Jizi tried all the methods we could do to reduce the fever. Jizi was weak and couldn't hold on. I can only pray now, Doufu A big man, he can live up to his expectations.

While talking, I adjusted several paths. I felt the muscles in my legs tremble. Lu Su wanted to help, but I was worried that something would happen and the tofu would become his burden instead, so I refused straight away. Let him clear the way ahead.

About two or three hours later, at the entrance of one of the ice caves, Lu Su's sharp eyes found a small thing.

It's a dead scythe.

He looked happy, and said: "It seems that Miss Meng and the others have been here before, and with her, maybe they can avoid the heavenly soldiers and trapped corpses." This discovery lifted our spirits, and we immediately quickened our pace. On the ice in front of him, there was a person lying down impressively.

I couldn't tell: Is it a dead person?Could it be that Mengmeng and the others also died?
Lu Su ran to someone before me and squatted down. I saw this person was face up, with his mouth open, his face was blue and white, he only had a thin layer of underwear on his body, and the rest of the warm clothes were obviously stripped clean.

This person is not any one of the three men, but a man with an unfamiliar face.

Tofu said weakly, "It must belong to Mr. Zhao."

The clothes on the man had been frozen together with his body, the flesh was as hard as iron, and the back was tightly bound to the ice layer, making it difficult to move. From this, it can be seen that his clothes should have been frozen after death. It should have been done by his accomplices.

At this time, I observed the cause of this man's death, and saw five bloody holes on his neck.Having dealt with Zongzi for a long time, I immediately realized that this person was killed by Zongzi's hands.

Could it be that there are other zongzi in this place besides Heavenly Soldiers, Trapped Corpse...?
Tofu said, "Why wasn't the corpse eaten by the heavenly soldiers?"

I said: "It's all frozen into popsicles, I guess Tianbing's teeth are not so good."

While I was thinking about it in my mind, judging from this situation, the clothes of the dead were stripped. The situation of the old man Zhao and his group should not be good at that time, but this is good news for us, at least it means that we The route is correct, maybe it won't be long before they can find Old Man Zhao and the others.

Thinking about it this way, the three of us didn't stop any longer, we went over the corpse and followed Mengmeng and them.Unexpectedly, at this moment, in the ice cave ahead, a strangely shaped thing suddenly appeared.This Xuanbing ancient tomb has always been built by taking advantage of its natural structure, without too many other objects, but at this time, in front of us, there are many densely packed iron chains, piercing through the ice cave, Although not enough to block our way, it seemed strange.

Are these iron chains another Puzhen trick?Lu Su and I looked at each other, and leaned forward cautiously.
