Tomb Raiders Notes: If Innocence Had a Brother

The desert is very cold at night, and the temperature in Haizi is also dropping rapidly. Coupled with the constant crashing sounds from outside, Li Cu and I are feeling very cold from a psychological and physical point of view.

I looked at the blind man with my peripheral vision and thought to myself, this kid must have followed Wu Xie in. After staying with this group of people for a long time, many conspiracy theories will inevitably arise in your mind. For example, Wu Xie actually knew how to enter Gutongjing. For example, Wu Xie knew the movement pattern of Haizi and deliberately led Li Cu to Gutongjing "by mistake". For example, everything now involves good things.

Li Cu said that he had seen this strange iron tool when the archaeological team was salvaging equipment. When he was a child, he saw this thing in the factory where his father worked. Li Cu was the eighteenth "stranger" Wu Xie met...

Thinking of this, I was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Li Cu. It was unlikely that Wu Xie would just randomly recruit someone on the street. Did the elders of the seventeen people in front once work in that factory? Does this also explain why it is Li Cu and not Zhang Saner's pockmark?

Things became more and more complicated, and I even felt that I was a laggard. I sank to the bottom of the water, sighed, and a string of small bubbles appeared on the surface of the water.

Li Cu picked me up, gestured and asked me what was wrong. I whispered: "I had a fart, I couldn't hold it in."

Li Cu looked at me in shock, thinking, is this why the boss's brain is so novel? The blind man was more straightforward and pushed me into the water.

I don’t know how much time passed, but slowly, all the sounds calmed down.

Heixiazi let us stay in the sea for a long time before we waded ashore and climbed to the edge of the cart where Heixiazi was before.

The three of us were all swollen from Haizi's water. Li Cu and I couldn't move at all and could only lie on the sand. On the other hand, the blind man carefully climbed up behind the car with the lights on, dug out the sand behind the car, dug out a box of things, took out two small jars from it, and threw them to the two of us.

I opened the jar and smelled it. It turned out to be soju. The black blind man threw over some particularly smelly military coats.

Li Cu drank wine and wrapped himself tightly again, and then he felt that he was alive.

I rubbed my hands and feet with wine to warm myself up, and put on my military coat. It was really smelly.

"Don't want to drink?" Li Cu came over and looked at me who smelled of alcohol and asked.

This thing is soju. As a person who can get drunk even if he drinks beer, he still has some self-awareness. Looking at Li Cu's face, I asked seriously: "Xiao Lizi, are you an adult?"

Li Cu instantly felt that the soju in his hand was no longer warm.

The body warms up and the mind slowly becomes active. Heixiazi and Wu Xie are on the same side, and I can't hold back their affairs. There are still four hours left before the cooldown time for the experience card expires. I grabbed a handful of sand. I was wondering if I should give it a try and go down to take a look.

"Come in." The black blind man said.

After entering, I found that the interior of the car was well maintained. I don't know how Li Cu and the others missed this car when they searched.

At the same time, the black blind man under the light is completely exposed before our eyes.

The skin on his face and neck was so dry that he looked like he was seventy or eighty years old. His face was covered with a beard, covering up the outline of his facial features.

The blind man also took the opportunity to look at Li Cu, glanced at me casually, and then said: "I finally saw a living person. I thought I would die here alone in this life."

Li Cu was still very vigilant and asked him why he didn't come out when they were searching so much during the day.

The black blind man shook his head and said that he usually slept to save energy and food, and also told how the entire army was trapped here. Roughly like us, we were attacked by monsters under the desert and suffered heavy losses.

(The original work is not included here. For those who have not read it, you can read Chapter 1 of "Sand Sea " if you are interested)

"There used to be many houses and tents here. The superiors sent us here as a permanent fleet to be responsible for a factory and transporting materials here." Hei Xiazi pointed at the sand dunes outside the window and said.

"These are trucks. Of course I know they are used to transport things." Li Cu said.

I lowered my head and tucked my head into my coat, ignoring the smell. I knew that my acting skills had not been very good for so many years. Hei Xiazi, what is this called? This is called a hint. Plant a seed for Li Cu, and as time goes by, it will sprout, and then Li Cu will never be able to escape.

Sometimes I think about it, isn't this how the third uncle induced Wu Xie back then.

The two talked for a long time, and the subsequent events were all told from the perspective of a transport soldier, but it is unclear whether this really existed or was just a figment of the black blind man. But through conversation, this place must have something to do with Li Cu's father.

"Can you show me your back? The picture on your back, I want to see if it's the same as what I saw at that time." The black blind man pointed at Li Cu's back.

"Same?" Li Cu looked at the person in front of him inquiringly. He began to take off his military coat.

I stuck my head out because I also wanted to know what that picture looked like.

"Uncle, what you said was too smooth. Why do you seem to have recited it from memory?" Li Cu stopped and asked.

I slapped my forehead and it was over. Forgot that this kid is a straight person, he can say whatever he wants. If this were placed on Wu Xie, he would definitely not jump on his own, but would find a way to hold him back and talk more.

After Li Cu finished speaking, he frowned and stared at the other person, vividly demonstrating what it meant: I don't believe you.

I also looked at the blind man, and calculated whether I should join hands with Li Cu and press him here, or give the big bag of Li Cu to the blind man, which would have a greater chance of survival.

The blind man no longer had a dull expression. Seeing that Li Cu had not spoken and his expression did not change, he suddenly smiled: "Jingyouzi is Jingyouzi, and he is much harder to deceive than that southerner."

"Who on earth are you? Don't you think it's a bit heartless to have fun with me in a place like this?" Li Cu said while giving me a look.

I really want to look up to the sky and sigh, I am just driving the experience card, which is 50-50 for one minute. As time went on, either I would kneel on the ground begging for mercy, or he would kneel on the ground begging me not to die.

The blind man began to remove his beard and hair, then jumped off the handlebar and took off his clothes. He dug out a backpack from the sand on one side, pulled out a black jacket from it and put it on.

While the blind man was tinkering with himself outside, Li Cu patted me on the shoulder and said, "Brother, this guy is dishonest. You can subdue him, tie him up, and interrogate him properly."

I touched Li Cu's head: "In the past, people always called me little ancestor. After meeting you, I found that their structure has become smaller."

After tidying up, the blind man took out a pair of sunglasses from his bag and put them on.

"I didn't want to reveal my identity." Hei Xiazi said while standing outside.

Me: You almost said that I have a problem, come and expose me.

"But I'm obviously not very good at deceiving people."

Me: Haha.

"Let me introduce you again. Others call me Black Blind Man. What I just told you was all inferred from the environment here and the clues left on the corpse."

Me: That’s right.

"I knew that your tone of voice sounded like an endorsement. Then you must not be an auto soldier?" Li Cu said like a proud little rooster.

I really feel that although I am only in my twenties physically, my mental age is definitely about to be torn to the ground.

The black blind man pointed to his eyes: "Have you ever seen a half-blind person become a soldier?"

"You may not believe it, but I followed you here. I have been watching you from the shore. Then the sea moved, so I jumped out in a hurry. MD, it almost drowned me."

I thought to myself, just make it up. The blind man will never know that we entered the breeding base below Haizi. I guess time was tight and Wu Xie didn't have time to explain.

"But we are under Haizi..."

"Who are you entrusted by?" I interrupted Li Cu. There is no point in exposing the black blind man now, but it will cause a lot of trouble.

"That's the boss Wu in your team. It was going well before, but I didn't expect you to be rowing in the middle of the night." The black blind man smiled, handed the wine to Li Cu, and patted his shoulder: "It's fine now, there's nothing left. It’s all gone. All that’s left is an oil bottle and an unknown person.”

The blind man looked at me with a half-smile. Li Cu wanted to say a few words to me, but since I was also on the way to the boat, he couldn't say anything.

However, the blind man did not pursue it further. He turned over and took out a pack of lunch boxes, "Want some fried rice?"

I looked at the label and it turned out to be fried rice with green pepper and shredded pork with a shelf life of ten years.
