Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

Chapter 43 The last time I found fault was the last time

The rest time is always short, and an hour goes by in a flash.

So the whole team returned to normal and began to advance in an orderly manner along the route provided by Cheng Bingqiang.

When the scenes you see around you keep repeating themselves, you will unconsciously feel anxious.

But Black Glasses seemed to be very good at dealing with this feeling. Not only was he not affected, but when he saw new and strange plants that were not found in the city, he would pull them over to show Chi Yu.

Chi Yu happened to be feeling a bit bored, so he passed the time by listening to Black Glasses introducing the various sights to him.

When I came across something I found interesting, I took a few photos using the system’s camera interface.

If you walk five kilometers in an ordinary city, it will only take one or two hours at most to reach your destination.

But in the jungle with a very high vegetation coverage, these five kilometers seem a little out of reach.

The group walked arduously in the rainforest for a long time, until the sky darkened and even the light shining through the gaps in the lush tree canopy disappeared completely. They barely crossed the border and saw a wetland.

The source of this wetland comes from the Lancang River system, and small tributaries are divided into branches throughout the mountains and forests.

One of the tributaries was cut by the terrain of the mountains and eventually stopped here, forming a paradise of life.

As they reached the edge of the wetland, the trees became sparser, replaced by dense aquatic plants.

Some of these aquatic plants have rotted, while others have just grown out. The old and new grass roots are entangled together to form a large meadow floating on the water.

Without the obstruction of the plants, the view became clear. The group found a suitable spot to camp nearby, built a few campfires, and began to prepare for the night.

Chi Yu stood at the end of the team and watched for a while, then found a place that looked the most comfortable and started to set up his tent.

In the nearly two years since he traveled through time, Chi Yu's experiences have ultimately caused some changes in him.

——At least Chi Yu’s hands-on ability has been trained, and he will never have to worry about the tent again.

The man with black glasses also looked around and found a place close to Chi Yu to set up his tent.

Since the location chosen by Chi Yu was a bit remote, their tent was not actually close to the main camp of the large group, but was located on the periphery at some distance.

After the two of them finished their respective tasks, Black Glasses sat in front of the newly lit fire and asked Chi Yu with a smile, "Boss Chi, why did you choose such a place to rest? Wouldn't it be better to go there where there are more people and more lively?"

"There's a mix of people over there, I don't like it."

Chi Yu glanced at the main camp, where dinner was being prepared. About twenty people were walking back and forth, making the scene quite lively.

If you don’t know, you might think it’s a camping group.

Chi Yu retracted his gaze and took a sip of energy drink to replenish his energy.

Black Glasses took out a fast food box from his bag and asked Chi Yu, "Boss Chi, do you want fried rice? Fried rice with green pepper and shredded pork."

This guy's bag really has everything. If I didn't have a system backpack, I probably wouldn't be able to beat him.

However, after drinking the energy drink, Chi Yu was in a full state. Even if he wanted to try the green pepper and shredded pork fried rice prepared by Hei Yanjing, he couldn't eat anything now.

So Chi Yu shook his head at the black glasses and raised the energy drink in his hand, "This is enough for me."

Black Glasses took the lunch box back with regret, and opened it and ate it without heating it up. While eating, he asked, "Is this enough to drink? You seem to have been relying on this to fill your stomach. What is this?"

"A specially made drink that can provide enough energy for action. If you have a big appetite, you can try it now. Otherwise, you might feel full."

"What you said makes me a little curious." Black Glasses smiled and put the lunch box aside. "I want to see if this thing is really that magical."

Chi Yu took out a new bottle of energy drink from her bag and threw it to Black Glasses. After seeing him open it and take a sip, she said faintly, "This bottle is five hundred for you."

Hearing this, the man with black glasses subconsciously wanted to spit out the money, but he felt sorry for the five hundred yuan, so he stopped the action and coughed a few times due to being choked.

"Boss Chi, you are such a mean person. You charged me 500 yuan for just one sip. How can you force me to buy something like this?"

"I'm not like you who likes to make random offers. I said five hundred, so it's worth it." Chi Yu smiled and said, "Use this money to redeem your piece of cloth. Now you owe me two hundred."

The atmosphere between the two was quite pleasant, but on the other side of the main camp, some people were very unhappy with Chi Yu's eccentricity.

Although the same is true for Black Glasses, he has been famous in the underworld for a long time, and his reputation is not a good one. No one dares to bring bad luck to Black Glasses and can only pretend not to see it.

But Chi Yu is different. He is a new star who suddenly emerged in the past two years. Even though he is very popular now, it is because he is associated with the black glasses.

For some reason, Black Glasses has been active in the underworld using the name Chi Yu since two years ago.

Even if they didn't know the reason, everyone could see that he was building momentum for Chi Yu.

They couldn't afford to offend Black Glasses, nor did they dare to provoke Chi Yu who was under the protection of Black Glasses, so naturally they could only serve the two of them.

In addition, Chi Yu himself has high professional capabilities, and everyone he has led speaks highly of him. The combination of the two is why Chi Yu's name has spread everywhere.

But such a reason cannot convince a group of desperate criminals who are walking on the edge of a knife.

In their opinion, Chi Yu was just a fair-skinned little kid. Even if he was said to be amazing, it was definitely because he had Black Glasses backing him up, which led to everyone praising him. In reality, he couldn't be that amazing.

As long as he uses some tricks and pokes him casually, Chi Yu will reveal his true face like a deflated balloon, and he will not be able to continue to be so arrogant.

So a few people who particularly disliked Chi Yu discussed it together, greeted Cheng Bingqiang again, and after getting the other party's consent, they walked together to the campfire where Chi Yu was.

"Little military advisor, are you free?"

As soon as they walked over here, Chi Yu and the man with black glasses stopped talking.

The man with black glasses continued to eat his unfinished box of green pepper and shredded pork fried rice, while Chi Yu looked at those people who came with bad intentions with a calm expression.

"Brother Qiang just said that the road we are going to take tomorrow might be a little dangerous. To prevent any accidents, we will find a few people to check out the situation today. We brothers thought about it and felt that we might not be able to do it alone, so we thought of asking you to take us to have a look."

After they finished talking, they saw Chi Yu still sitting there with an indifferent look, and suddenly they became a little impatient: "Little Military Advisor, Brother Qiang has already said that you have to go with him. Let's not waste time here. Let's investigate the situation as soon as possible and come back to rest as soon as possible, okay?"

It seems that this group of people want to take him to other places to attack him, and Cheng Bingqiang agreed. But that's okay. Chi Yu has never tolerated those malicious emotions.

He looked at the people in front of him coldly, took his backpack, and stood up: "Let's go."

The man with black glasses also finished his beloved fried rice at this time, raised his head to look at them, and when he made those people break out in cold sweats, he smiled and gave Chi Yu some advice.

"Have fun, Chi Xiaojunshi."
