Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 388
Seeing that the shooting was delayed for a while, Tofu copied the shovel next to the fire and stretched it into the ice cave.The sharp edge of the shovel was pressed against Tianbing's head, and Tofu pressed the shovel hard.In this way, it has effectively hindered the continuation of the Heavenly Soldiers.However, we had just recovered from our internal injuries, so we couldn't use much strength. After a short time of support, Tofu's face turned livid, and he was sweating profusely on his forehead in the cold ice cave.

Then, he said: "Old Chen, I can't hold on any longer. I thought about it... I think that I, a powerless artist like me, would run away from you alone. I guess I didn't meet Lu Su. I have to say goodbye. I will hold it for a while, you run, you run faster than me, your skills are better than me, and the chance of success is much higher."

After speaking, his hand softened, and the shovel fell onto the ice cave.Tofu clutched his chest and panted in pain, breathing heavily.

My eyes were hot, and I didn't respond to Tofu's words. I copied the shovel and poked Tianbing's head, just like poking a large piece of rubber. No matter how hard I tried, there was no response.I stared at Tianbing's greedily drooling mouth, and a sudden idea came to my mind.

The outside of this heavenly soldier is invulnerable to swords, guns, water and fire, so is it the same inside?
Thinking of this, without looking back, I said to Tofu: "There seems to be a detonator in the equipment bag, find it."

Tofu said: "The detonator is useless to this guy. I understand, this is the glory of our brothers, isn't it?" Tofu thought I wanted to use the detonator to die happily, so he searched very actively, and found it in a few clicks. A detonator mounted on an iron frame was pulled out.

I took that thing out, already thinking about it.So I let the tofu retreat, then put the detonator into the horseshoe-shaped cylinder of the shovel, and then held the shovel to stab the mouth of the sky soldier.This thing opened its mouth and came to bite my shovel.Taking advantage of this effort, I lifted the handle of the shovel upwards, and the detonator hidden in the shovel immediately slid down along this arc and fell into the mouth of the heavenly soldiers.

At this moment, the distance between me and Tianbing is about two meters, but the blasting range of the detonator is more than two meters. Now I am equivalent to risking my life to fight for a chance of survival for Tofu and me.I let the tofu hug my waist, and as soon as the detonator seemed to be in the mouth of a heavenly soldier, I pulled me out with all my strength, so that I could leave the blasting center as quickly as possible.

Therefore, the moment the detonator was put into the mouth of the heavenly soldier, I sternly said, "Go."

The tofu had been prepared a long time ago, and almost the moment I opened my mouth, I was pulled back violently by the tofu.This is much faster than the speed of slowly regressing.But this speed still has not caught up with the speed of blasting.At this moment, Tianbing gritted his teeth, and in an instant, a deafening explosion sounded against my eardrums.

I don't know how the Tianbing is doing, because the surrounding black ice has been shattered a lot, a large piece of broken ice mixed with a puff of smoke acts as a hood, I just feel a burning pain on my face, and the next moment I turn my head Buried, countless things pressed down on me, and the next moment, I couldn't feel anything.

When I opened my eyes again, there was darkness around me. In the darkness, I heard a hachihachi sound, followed by stomping.

What is this place?
My brain was in chaos for a long time before my consciousness gradually came to my senses. First I felt a burning pain on my face, and then I found that my body was covered with several things thickly. I reached out and touched it, probably clothes.

Immediately afterwards, Tofu's voice sounded in the darkness: "Old Chen? Are you awake?" As soon as the voice fell, there was a burst of dim orange light.Tofu was standing not far from me, holding a searchlight in his hand, guessing that the battery was about to run out, so the light was very dim.He didn't have much clothes on, and he was shivering and stamping his feet on the spot to keep warm. When he saw me wake up, he looked happy and said, "Thank God, I thought you were going to be crushed to death."

At this time, I found that we were still in the ice cave, but the narrow passage was blocked by ice and became a dead end.

With just one glance, I understood the situation in front of me. When I blew it up, I guess not only killed the heavenly soldiers, but also collapsed the passageway.This time we did not carry too many weapons such as guns and detonators, because they are not suitable for use in snow-capped mountains.The only ones prepared were all extremely powerful. I didn't expect to blow up the ice cave, which was beyond my expectation.

I reckoned that my head must have been smashed badly. After passing out, Tofu covered me with his clothes, and reckoned that the fuel had been exhausted.

Seeing that I woke up without saying a word, Tofu became nervous and muttered, "Isn't it because I was smashed stupid?" He stretched out his hand in front of my eyes and said, "Do you still know me? I am your last A good brother, talented and suave Xiaodou."

I sighed and said, "Don't make trouble, put your clothes on, how long have I been in a coma." I threw the clothes covering me to him, and said to myself that if I woke up later, this kid would probably die. so cold.

While putting on his clothes tremblingly, Tofu said: "You have passed out for more than eight hours. I used fuel to keep warm at first, but then the fuel ran out. I was afraid that you would freeze to death, so I took off my clothes for you." You are gone. There is still some food left, you eat first." Tofu handed over half a pack of compressed biscuits.

I felt hungry all of a sudden, so I didn't care to say more. I took the biscuit and started to gobble it up. Tofu seemed to have something to say to me, as if he was hesitant to say anything. After I finished eating, I clapped my hands and said, "Yes Just say whatever you want."

Tofu said with a mournful face: "16 yuan biscuits, eight of which are mine, why did you eat them all?"

I was taken aback, and said, "Have you counted?"

Tofu nodded and said, "This is our last ration, I counted it eight times..."

"How about... I spit out half of it?"

Tofu clutched his belly, with a look of despair on his face, and said: "I want to be a starving ghost before I die, what crime did I do..."

My face was a little hot, and I stretched out my hand to touch it, and there were several scars of different sizes, which were probably scratched by ice cubes.Fortunately, there didn't seem to be any major problems with my head. I ate something and became more awake, so I said to Tofu, "Don't howl, I won't let you die." Immediately afterwards, I walked to the original place with a flashlight. The location of the ice cave.

It has been blocked by ice, and the first half has obviously been cleaned.Seeing this, Tofu explained: "When you fainted, I tried to clean out the hole, but when I got to this position, I couldn't do it."

Between the back of the collapse Xuanbing.Some of them didn't fall completely, so it was difficult to get their hands on them, and through the mysterious ice, one could vaguely see the heavenly soldier behind. When I looked closely, I couldn't help being surprised, because it wasn't dead at all.

Tofu pointed at the moving things behind the ice layer with a gloomy expression, and said, "He lost his head, but he can still move. It's terrible."

I sat where I was, feeling that the situation was a bit tricky.

Now both Tofu and I have suffered internal injuries, and our actions are not a problem, but we have no combat power. Now, food and water have run out, medicines are left, and energy sources have also been exhausted, which means that Tofu and I rely on this Things, it is impossible to stay in this place for too long, there are only two roads in front of us.

First: Find Lu Su and the others to join them; but now three days have passed, and the three of Lu Su are nowhere to be seen, and we don't know what the situation is. With our current physical strength and equipment, it is not easy to last until we join them thing.

Second: That is the return journey. Our main time is spent in the process of finding the way in the maze. It took five hours to go out to find the bearded man who was staying outside.

But whether you choose the first road or the second road, there is a very real problem in front of you, that is, the road is blocked, and there are heavenly soldiers behind the road.

Things are a bit tricky, and Tofu is holding his head and thinking hard, but unfortunately we only have one detonator, otherwise we can blow it up again to completely blow up the black ice.All of a sudden, I had no clue. I laid out all the things in the equipment bag one by one, thinking about the maximum use value of these tools for the situation in front of me. '

But after looking around, I didn't think I could leave with these things.

Time passed by every minute, there was no fuel for heating, and the coldness in the cave was getting heavier and heavier. I rubbed my hands with Tofu, walked around in this drop-shaped ice cave, racked my brains, and couldn't find a way .

I suddenly thought, what would he do if Chen Ci was trapped in this kind of place?
The statement is that he will never give up or wait for death, he will definitely take action.

I gritted my teeth, thought for a moment, and said to Tofu: "It's useless for us to wander around. Let's try to see if we can clean up the Xuanbing and do our best." Attacks such as shovels, daggers, and chisels began to slowly excavate Zhejiang Xuanbing.

Xuanbing is very hard, basically a chisel goes down to a white spot. Tofu said with emotion: "It's almost as hard as iron. You said that the workers who excavated here at that time had to work day and night. This is common. Is it really so capable to invite so many people to be time-consuming and labor-intensive?"

I shook my head and said: "No, although these black ice is difficult to deal with, it is not impossible. The folks have a folk remedy. The glutinous rice is mixed with salt and wine, and water is added. Sprinkle it on the black ice, which can drive away its coldness and make it colder. Softening. When the ancients were doing their work, they must have used some kind of sideways method. We didn’t know it in advance. If we knew in advance that we would go down to the Xuanbing Cave, we would have prepared countermeasures.”

Hearing this, Tofu retorted: "No, didn't the mute already know the environment in this ice cave? If that's the case, why didn't he prepare in advance? Tell me...who is the person who gave him the information? I There is a feeling that the mute is actually being tricked by someone."
