Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 674

I kept changing the angle of the flashlight, hoping to find traces of the one-eyed dragon, but there was still no other discovery on the water except those human cocoons.After thinking for a while, I said, "I'll go into the water to have a look." The lazy man looked at me with a hint of surprise on his lazy and calm expression, and frowned, "You?" Smiling, said: "When did you become so kind?"

The gang of lazy people are all sharp-eyed. They know what kind of person I am, so the reaction of lazy people at this moment is not surprising.

I didn't answer his words, but untied the fast-hanging rope, threw one end to the lazy man, and said, "There is something wrong, remember to pull it quickly." The lazy man nodded, still with that very surprised look Look at me.

In this regard, I can only smile wryly. Once a person is labeled with a certain label, it is difficult to change the original impression.Perhaps in the eyes of others, I am a person who puts interests first and has no good or evil.The lazy guy looked at me with this expression of seeing a ghost, which really made me feel uncomfortable, so after I finished speaking, I threw the gun to the mute, and pulled out another black machete from his waist.

The knife is relatively heavy to hold, and it feels cold in the hand. I don't know its origin, nor its forging process, but I have seen the power of dumb and lazy people when using it.The slob was a little bit annoyed that I had taken his weapon, but before he could say anything, I jumped into the water.

The flashlight is not waterproof, but the tiny searchlight on my waist is.

The groundwater is very cold, especially in this cold weather, which is very stimulating.I took a deep breath, suppressed my coldness, and then dived into the water.

I hoped to find some clues underwater, even if it was something that looked like 01, but until the breath was exhausted, I still found nothing.When I got out of the water, I was more than ten meters away from the lazy guy, and the rope around his waist was already stretched.

To him, Cyclops is just a teammate, and life and death don't have much impact, so Lazy is still as calm as usual at the moment.What Grandpa said was indeed true, the Daidou people are all red-eyed beasts, and those leaders in the Daidou circle are all heartless.

I knew that staying in the water would be useless, and when I was about to swim back, I suddenly caught a glimpse from the corner of my eye that the person closest to me moved a bit.The cocoon was very big, and there was also a black shadow inside, and the black shadow inside was much bigger than the previous one, about the size of an adult.

I looked over and subconsciously raised the searchlight at my waist, so that the light shone directly on the big cocoon.Although the light is not very strong, I can still see that the thing in the big cocoon is alive.

Depend on!
I immediately swam back, and at the same time, pointing to the direction of the big cocoon, I said to the lazy guy: "Shoot, shoot!" The best way to deal with danger is to kill it in advance.The ghost knows what will happen if the things inside come out.

The other end of the rope was not in the hands of the lazy man. He put the rope on the iron chain. Hearing what I said, he immediately raised his gun and wanted to shoot, but the next moment I found out that his gun was not aimed at this point. The big cocoon is facing my direction.

In an instant, I was stunned: he wants to kill me?
He has no reason to kill me?

Immediately afterwards, there were three gunshots, bang bang bang.Although the muzzle of the gun was pointing in my direction, the bullet did not hit me, but hit my right rear.I immediately realized that there was something behind me, and kept swimming forward while looking back.

Accompanied by the fierce gunshots, the water surface was splashed by the bullets, the dim light and the chaotic splash made it difficult to see the situation in that area very clearly, but vaguely, a thing about the size of a human could still be seen .

Could it be that the thing that attacked the one-eyed dragon came out?
Before I could react, the cocoon on the other side suddenly burst. Amidst the intense gunfire, I heard a familiar voice: "Run." The one who got out of the cocoon was none other than a one-eyed dragon !
Oh shit!How did he get there?
I felt scared for a while, if it wasn't for the lazy guy who suddenly noticed something on my right side and changed the shooting direction, Cyclops would probably be shot into a hornet's nest now!
In the confusion, the one-eyed dragon Liken swam towards my direction, and said as he swam, "Boss, get ashore quickly, these things can spin silk like spiders." I immediately understood, no wonder I couldn't find it just now When it came to Cyclops, the co-author was trapped by something that resembled 01.

Is this how all the cocoons around come from?
The one-eyed dragon was good at swimming, and quickly swam to my side, stretched out his arms and hugged my waist, and the lazy guy above stopped shooting, and immediately pulled the rope to pull us up.Halfway up, Cyclops suddenly gasped and said, "Not dead." He stared straight down.I followed his line of sight to look down, and found that the thing that was attacked before seeing the goods was not killed at all. At this moment, it was impressively at our feet, looking up at us.

That thing is exactly like a mummy. I have seen a mummy that has been blown up, but the corpse will grow hair more or less during the process of corpse transformation. Therefore, all the zongzi that fake corpses I have seen before are all hairy zongzi.It was the first time I saw such a hairless but moving 'mummy', and I was quite shocked.

That thing has no eyes, and the eye sockets are black holes. Since the distance is not very high, I can clearly see that there are bullets embedded in the head and shoulders of that thing from this distance.At this moment, the thing suddenly stretched out its hand.

Its hands were originally in the water, but when it came out of the water, we realized that its hands were very long.

Now I can be absolutely sure, this thing is 01, even if it is not the original 01, it must be the same kind of 01!
As soon as that hand stretched out, it grabbed Cyclops' leg in an instant. For some reason, I remembered the jackals that died before, and couldn't help shouting: "Old Zhang, tighten your ass."

The one-eyed dragon originally held my waist with both hands, and he probably remembered the jackal. Now he only puts one arm around my waist for strength, and the other hand tightly covers his buttocks. Struggling with swinging legs.

Even a big man like him felt scared when he thought of the horrible death of the jackal.I handed him the lazy knife and said, "Stop covering your butt, chop!"

The best defense is to attack. Cyclops understands this truth, but he was so scared by that thing that he forgot it. Now he understands it as soon as he gets the knife.Clamping his hips and shrinking his legs, the knife in his hand slashed towards the long hand.

This black knife is really powerful, with a flash of black light, the hand broke in two, and the thing in the water made a shrill cry, retracting the remaining half, and the half wrapped around the Cyclops' leg , it seems to have lost its vitality, and it also fell down.

I remember that 01's body parts have a very strong ability to split and regenerate, but this '01' obviously does not. It seems that although they are of the same kind, they still have differences.I feel relieved, as long as it is not 01, everything will be much easier.

At this juncture, Cyclops and I were pulled up, and the two stood back on the iron chain again, not daring to stay longer, and immediately walked back, and arrived at the entrance of the cave after a while.

Our clothes were all wet at the moment, it was early winter, and after soaking in the icy groundwater, the heat from our bodies seemed to be sucked away, and Cyclops and I were shivering from the cold.

The lazy guy glanced at both of us, then at the water, and said, "It's gone."

The one-eyed dragon shivered and said, "I guess I'm hiding, no, it's too cold, light a fire, light a fire." For our change of clothes, we only brought underwear and only one set of outerwear. In this temperature, it is impossible to wear Wet suits go ahead.

In desperation, we retreated more than ten meters into the cave, then lit a fire with solid fuel, put on dry underwear, sat by the fire to keep warm and leaned on our clothes.

The lazy man patrolled the entrance of the cave, saying that there is no movement in the water for the time being, and he sleeps at the entrance of the cave, but I know that if there is any danger, this kid will definitely be the first to find out, so we are all safe with him guarding the entrance of the cave. sense of security.

Cyclops took out some food from his bag, warmed himself by the fire, and told me about his experience in the water.Everything is similar to my guess, the only difference is that the one-eyed dragon was not pulled into the water. After he was caught by that thing, he only felt that the thing was soft and boneless, entangled him tightly, just like a snake .Immediately afterwards, a flocculent thing sprayed out from the thing's mouth.

The thing wrapped around his mouth all of a sudden, making him unable to make any sound at all. In the end, he was directly wrapped in that big cocoon.The big cocoon exudes a smell, that is, the rotten smell we smelled before, the smell is very strong, and the hands and feet of the smoked Cyclops are weak.

After struggling in the cocoon for a long time, there was no effect. Finally, he thought of some refreshing remedies, and pinched his tiger's mouth with his fingers.In an instant, the pain spread from the abdomen to the whole body, and he felt that his limp body regained strength in an instant, so he immediately used the dagger to destroy the cocoon wall, and then he broke free from it.

Of course, he couldn't hear the outside world at all at the time, and of course he didn't know that I let the lazy guy shoot.

But I didn't mention this, right as it never happened.If the lazy guy really shot at that time, and finally let me see the dead body of the one-eyed dragon, that kind of scene would make me feel chills just thinking about it.

After eating, the three of us slept by the fire, not too long, but woke up much refreshed and dry.We put on our clothes, put out the bonfire, and I carried Harichagai on my back. The four of us put on chains and prepared to pass quickly.

This time I didn't bother to take care of the things in the water, they were not as scary as 01, even if they really attacked, we wouldn't be helpless.
