Tomb Raiders Notes: If Innocence Had a Brother

When Wang Meng woke me up, the surroundings of Haizi had quieted down. As far as the eye could see, there were endless sand dunes, but the sand here was rare white, as white as snow.

Wang Meng rowed the raft, while Wu Xie and Li Cu pulled the sand ashore.

Wu Xie reminded: "Pull the raft up. If Haizi moves again, we will be fooled."

"I said... Master, is it time for you to come down?" Wang Meng asked, looking at me lying motionless on the raft.

I complained while trying to flip off the raft: "You are my savior after all. I don't even want you to give me your life, so can't you drag me up with the raft?"

I tried several times, but it was impossible to stay overnight with my broken body. Finally, Wang Meng carried me ashore first and then dragged the raft up.

"Do you think this sea is the train here? It got off a few passengers at the station and then continued driving." Li Cuo said whimsically.

"It's probably a loop. I don't know how long it will take to walk around it?" Wu Xie leaned down and picked up a handful of sand. "There is quartz inside, which is the same as the sand outside. But why is it so white?"

Over there, Li Cu and Wu Xie were discussing what was so special about the white sand. I felt like it was almost cooked. "I tell you two, please turn it over. It will heat more evenly and cook faster."

"It's a pity that I didn't bring cumin chili noodles." Wu Xie knelt down and planned to turn me over.

"Brother Mengzi! Come on! Someone here wants to eat children!" I screamed at the top of my voice.

At this time, Wang Meng, who was pulling the raft, suddenly shouted: "Boss! Come and see!"

Li Cu and Wu Xie rushed up to a sand dune and looked towards the edge of Haizi. They saw Wang Meng pointing at the sand dune beside them. The sand on the dune slid away as he dragged the raft, and the entire sand surface collapsed, revealing what was buried in the dune.

Li Cu and Wu Xie ran over, and the raft slid more and more. Soon, the remains of a large truck revealed a corner from the sand dune. The collapsed section revealed the bed of the truck, which was filled with the same dangerous containers they had seen at the bottom of the lake.

At this time, I was lying on the other side of the sand dune, and I only heard the shouts from over there to dig quickly.

Bathed in the sunshine, I moved my arms and kicked my legs. I grinned in pain, but I was not incapable of movement. I looked at the light screen in front of me: Experience card cooling time: 20:32:46.

I sighed and wondered if I should go over and take a look. I vaguely remembered that they seemed to have discovered a truck.

Just when I was about to fall asleep...ahem...just when I was about to make a choice, there was a loud noise, and then a heat wave came from the direction of the sand dunes, spreading around with sand, and the surrounding sand dunes quickly became shorter.

I closed my mouth that grew in shock, took a mouthful of sand, and wondered why the dune became shorter. Did it collapse on that side? Later I found out that it wasn't that side that collapsed, but that I was about to be buried alive.

Wu Xie and Li Cu were thrown ten meters away by the air wave. Fortunately, it was a sand dune, and they were covered with sand.

The debris thrown up by the explosion was bounced into the air, and then fell into the sea like rain, crackling.

Li Cu waited until everything was quiet before getting up. He only felt his eardrums buzzing. He looked at the front of the car and found that the entire front of the car was gone, leaving only an exploded site.

Because the air waves and shock waves generated by the explosion were too large, all the sand in the dunes next to the truck was sprayed into the sky by the dual effects of shock waves and air waves, and everything originally buried in the sand dunes was exposed.

"It's broken!" Wu Xie said and ran towards the other side. Li Cu and Wang Meng looked at the direction and glanced at each other. The person lying there was gone.

"Wu Kang, Wu Kang!" The three of them soon discovered a foot buried in the desert.

When the three men dug me out, I spat a few times and my mouth was full of sand. My mouth was extremely dry. I wasn't hurt at all, but my soul was severely damaged. Xizi held his heart in his arms and accused the person in front of him, "Wu Xiaoxie, when you throw fried eggs, are you thinking that if I am gone, you can monopolize the old Wu family's property?"

Then a brain meltdown made the not-so-smart mind even worse.

Now no one dared to leave me where I was, so Wang Meng suggested putting me on the edge of Haizi, where there would be water and it would be cool. Secondly, if Haizi moves suddenly, I can also call out to the big guy.

I shook my head, "If Haizi and I float away, I don't want to stage a scene from Robinson Crusoe."

Finally, sponsored by Wu Xie’s family and joined by Wang Meng’s car, we arrived at the center of the explosion.

They were the wreckage of more than a dozen trucks. Almost half of the sand dunes surrounding Haizi were gradually shaken loose by the huge vibrations. Rows of truck wrecks were exposed under the sand dunes around Haizi.

"Dear me, there must be hundreds of them." Looking at the scene in front of me, I said, these cars are like a long queue surrounding the entire Haizi, which is quite spectacular.

"Is this a parking lot?" Li Cu said to himself.

Wu Xie didn't say anything, and just started walking along Haizi, looking at the truck wreckage under the sand dunes. Wang Meng followed behind me.

"Something big must have happened in this place." Wu Xie sighed. "Look at how busy we are."

Wu Xie and Li Cu went to pull out the mummy from under the truck, while Wang Meng asked me to lean against the half-buried truck and use my coat to provide some shade.

"Boss, why do I have to work hard with you? You don't pay me a salary," Li Cu said.

"Do you understand that you are a prisoner now? Prisoners must have consciousness. Besides, wouldn't I be the boss and be punished myself?" When Wu Xie said this, he turned back and glanced at Wang Meng who was enjoying the cool weather. Wang Meng saw the boss turning around. Revealing two rows of big white teeth, Wu Xie turned his head and said. "Let's go back and deduct his salary."

The two people who came back from a circle came up with their guess.

"These soldiers surrounded Haizi. One reason is that they wanted to protect Haizi before the sandstorm came and prevent it from being buried by the sandstorm."

"The other one...they are preventing Haizi from leaving. If it's the second one, they obviously failed."

At this point, the atmosphere is a little heavy. If none of these soldiers succeed, just three people without supplies and one sick person, the outcome is self-evident.

This statement is a bit shocking, and Li Cu thinks it is unlikely. He believes that reasoning should all be based on facts, and this idea is completely conjecture. He retorted: "This sea can move freely in the desert, and it is made of water. Who can stop it?"

"I said this is just an idea, a possibility. Besides, we don't know the way Haizi moves. How do you know you can't stop it?"

Li Cu sighed. He knew that it was useless to say anything now, so he changed his words: "Boss Wu, do you think we can get out alive? Based on your experience, we should have a rough idea."

Wu Xie said: "I can't make a decision now. Anyway, a team of more than 300 vehicles and a thousand people died here. Based on my experience, as long as there is water to sustain life, it can be afforded."

As Wu Xie was talking, Li Cu suddenly thought of something and asked Wang Meng: "Deputy Manager Wang, did you see any fish when you went to Haizi?"

Wang Meng shook her head, "Where do fish come from in a place like this? Even if there are any, they are very rare and difficult to catch. There are a lot of ready-made marinated meats here. I think it will taste good if you boil these meats in water."

Li Cu broke into a cold sweat when he thought that the bacon he was talking about was the mummies. He turned his attention to Wu Xie.

"This is not bad. God has prepared so much dried meat. Just be content."

Wang Meng continued: "This thing tastes almost like beef jerky..."

I tried hard to recall all the original plot. Maybe it started in Haizili's tomb and the plot had gone astray. But as the discussion between the three became more and more intense, some clips flashed by.

My head hurt more and more, and I hit the back of my head with my hand, trying to catch the flashing content.

"What's wrong with you?" Li Cu heard Wu Xie Wangmeng's increasingly terrifying remarks and turned to look at me, trying to form a united front, but was frightened by the ferocious look on my face.

Wang Meng stepped forward and touched my forehead, then pinched my wrist, "I don't have a fever, my heartbeat is a little fast."

Wang Meng and Li Cu held down my hands that were hitting my head, and I let out a low growl of pain. Wu Xie checked whether there was any trauma on my head, and my eyes began to blur.

There was no obvious trauma. In order to prevent me from biting my tongue, Wu Xie planned to stuff his sleeve into my mouth.

"No wind, no wind, no, no... no time." After I finished speaking, I hit the truck behind me and passed out with a "bang" sound. The sound made the three people present feel their teeth numb.

When I woke up again, there was a huge number of stone bodies in front of me. Wu Xie was carving words on a metal plate, and then he banged it into the sand dunes, which was engraved with "Li Renbei".

Several people also bowed, and Wu Xie muttered: "Brothers, sisters, uncles and uncles, I know that your wandering souls are still wandering around. They say that people who die trapped in the desert will never get out of the desert. Please don't worry. As long as you protect us and follow us, we will definitely be able to get out. Reincarnate when we should, scare people when we should, make ghost movies when we should, and no one will delay anyone else. Isn't that okay?"

Li Cu asked, "Where did you learn so many words from heaven?"

Wu Xie said: "This is the specialty of a friend of mine. Now I find that saying this at this time can imply that even if I die, I will die happily."

I miss Fatty.
