Tomb Raiders Notes - Zhangjia Mausoleum Keeper

life and death

"Hey, what kind of place is this? It's cold and humid, and the air is filled with a smell of sourness and corruption. Where am I? Why can't I see anything? I'm so scared. There's deathly silence around me."

Suddenly there was a gloomy "Ge Ge Ge..." in the air. As soon as I heard this sound, I couldn't help feeling horrified, and my whole body went limp. Is this still in the ancient tomb?I looked around vigilantly, but it was so dark that I couldn't see anything, and the cold sound of grinding my teeth was getting closer and closer to me. There was no way I could retreat, so I could only curl up in the corner and shiver in fear.

Just listening to the sound of "exhort", a cold light flashed in front of my eyes, and then there was a dull fighting sound, who is it?Who is fighting?I searched all over my body but couldn't find anything to illuminate, so I could only continue to hide there and hold my breath to listen quietly. The fighting sound continued for a while, and I only heard a "click", and then a candle was slowly lit up, and I fixed my eyes. At first glance, the lid of a large ebony coffin in front of him has been opened, and there is a bloody corpse lying on the ground. The corpse has been separated at this time, and the person leaning on the side of the coffin is Poyoufeng, who is expressionless at the moment looking at me.

"Big bore..." I rushed forward in a burst of joy, trying to get into his arms, but I jumped out of his body, "Da bore...Da bore" No matter what I call, call How loudly, he just doesn't answer, and I can't touch him, what's going on?How is this going?I was going crazy with panic, did I die and become a ghost, so he couldn't see me at all?

At this time, he packed up his things and seemed to be leaving. I couldn't stop him at all, so I could only follow behind him.

I can't hear my footsteps, and I can't see the shadow under the candlelight. I can pass through any obstacles I encounter, and I can even float up if I am so light. It seems that I am really not a human anymore. I am very Sad, I can't describe the despair in my heart, but I still want to follow Poker Bottle, whether I am a human or a ghost, I want to guard him by his side.

Turning around a few holes, I met a group of people wearing camouflage uniforms with machine guns. These people opened fire again when they saw the oil bottle, and the bullets shot over like raindrops. Passing through my body, Boyouping hid behind a big rock, took out a few guns from the bag and threw them at the opposite side. The scene was no different from a war movie. People, wanting to put them to death first and then quickly, the opposite side exploded in response, and a large area of ​​landslides appeared on the roof of the blasted cave, suppressing many people. Poker bottle didn't want to pay attention to these people at all, and detoured by another road. So persistent and anxious not knowing what to do?

I followed behind, watching Poker Fing meet people and kill people along the way, and ghosts and ghosts, as if nothing could stop his footsteps, and he himself gradually became scarred and his face became paler because of the pain. Finally he struggled to climb into a cave with blue light. This cave is so familiar and magical. I seem to have been there before, but I can’t remember the details. Poker bottle poured out the bag he carried with him and poured out two pieces of water. Big bag of explosives, what is he doing?

I saw him standing in front of the stone for a long time, then resolutely lit the fuse of the explosive, and threw it over. With a "bang", the magical luminous stone was blown to pieces, and then the head of the bottle was blown up. He walked out of the cave without returning.

Immediately, my eyes went dark, and I was in a dark and cold place again. There was a gloomy "cracking" sound in the air, why did I go back again?Is this a movie rerun?I don't want to see Poker Bottle get hurt and struggle again, I don't want to do it all over again, I don't want to see all this, I almost use up all the thoughts in my body to break through this invisible force.

"Enough is enough, I don't want to watch it anymore, I don't want to watch it anymore" I roared loudly.

Suddenly the whole body hurts, like falling into a sea of ​​fire and being scorched, the pain spreads all over the body, the pain makes me gasp, a soft calling sound comes from my ear, this voice is very familiar and pleasant to hear, who is it? who is it

I really want to open my eyes to see, but it seems like all the strength in my whole body has been sucked out. I don't even have the strength to open my eyes. How could this be?

A stream of cold liquid flowed down my dry lips, instantly moistening my internal organs. I swallowed greedily, a little dissatisfied with my desires, as if I couldn't drink enough after being thirsty for a long time.

I don't know how much I swallowed, but in short, the discomfort around my body was slightly reduced, and the strength of my eyelids recovered a little. I reluctantly opened them a little, and vaguely saw a beautiful face that made me linger in my dreams.

"Big bore..." I called out to him, but no sound came out of my cracked lips.

"I'm awake, I'm awake, I'm finally awake. Little brother, you are amazing!" The voice was that of Fat Brother chirping.

I leaned against Poker Bottle's arms, and looked weakly at Fat Brother and Wu Xie. I wanted to smile at them, but I couldn't make any sound at all, so I could only twitch the corners of my mouth to signal.

Poker bottle looked at me with a little relief on his ugly face, but it was only fleeting. Is it still an illusion this time?I was really tired, so tired that I couldn't bear this disappointment anymore, I held back my strength, raised my hand and pinched his face.

It's not heavy, because I don't have much strength at all, almost as soon as I touch his face, my hand hangs down with exhaustion. It's real human skin, a little warm, and the stuffy oil bottle seems to be shocked by my movement Some accidents and helplessness, he really appeared in front of me, with a familiar expression, and hugged me in his arms, I am worth dying, this is my last thought, my mind started to be confused again, Finally passed out satisfied.

After sleeping for a long time, it seemed as long as centuries, and finally enough strength was stored in my body, urging me to wake up, wake up and end all this!

I opened my eyes suddenly, and smelled a familiar aroma, this... Isn't this the smell of fat brother's beef sauce?As soon as I looked up, the fat guy tore open a bag of beef sauce with compressed biscuits and was about to put it in my mouth. I snorted, he glanced at me, put down the food and ran over happily, and helped me up. Only then did he realize that he was lying on a large bluestone slab, and Poker Ping and Wu Xie were sitting by a campfire.

Fat guy leaned forward with a fat face, and saw that he was almost crying with joy, and then he couldn't help but joked with me: "You slander, I woke you up after eating the last pack of beef sauce. Wake up, I'll let you eat when I wake up!"

I smiled and patted his hand lightly to express my thanks.

At this time, Wu Xie and Poker Fing also came over. I took a look at them and made sure that this time I was really not dreaming. I immediately felt relieved. Wu Xie knelt down, supported my shoulder and said, "Zi Lin, You are so brave, you actually saved everyone this time, you are too strong, you survived such a serious injury." His voice was a little choked up as he spoke.

I understood the first half of his sentence, but I couldn't understand the second half at all. I looked at my oily face in doubt, hoping that he could tell me the answer, but he didn't say anything. He just handed over a bottle of water and signaled I drink it.

The fat brother also continued: "My brother used to call you a nerd. I was wrong. From now on, you are my brother. Congratulations, you have passed the assessment and become a qualified member of our Inverted Squad."

"Fatty, you just woke up, don't talk nonsense, okay?" Wu Xie saw that his words were getting more and more unreliable, so he stopped him in time and pulled him back to the fire.

Poker-Face found a seat beside me and sat down. Neither of us spoke any more. I have encountered many things, including some strange things you are doing, I don't know if it is a dream or real, I want to hear your opinion."

After asking, I looked at him curiously, trying to find some answers from his face, but his face was still expressionless and showed no emotion. He just shook his head and said, "Take it as a dream, forget it if you can!"

His expression was so strange, but he had already said that, so he couldn't ask any more questions. Suddenly, he remembered Wu Xie's inexplicable words just now, and he couldn't help asking Poker Bottle: "Is it that I survived such a serious injury?" What's the meaning?"

Poker bottle obviously changed his face when he heard this, and he was silent for a while, then looked at me, with a look of sadness in his eyes, and said slowly: "When we found you, you were seriously dehydrated and your life was dying, I'm afraid you will die .” After speaking, he turned his face away, not knowing what he was thinking.

I suddenly felt warm in my heart. He was afraid that I would die. He always expressed his concern directly and never said it out loud. When did this guy change? I was secretly happy, thinking that although this adventure trip I have suffered a lot, but it is still worth it, at least I know he cares about me, thinking of me, he laughed silly, he turned his head and looked at me suspiciously, wondering why I am so happy , I smiled and stood up without saying a word and ignored him. I walked slowly to the fire and forced the fat brother to hand over the last bag of beef sauce.

I can’t remember how long I haven’t eaten. I feel very hungry. Unfortunately, we only have a few compressed biscuits left, and even the instant noodles. , In order to maintain physical strength, I stuffed a lot, and when I was full, I pulled Poker Bottle over, and several people began to discuss how to take the next route.

Poker bottle means that all the exits were sealed when I left last time. If there is an underground river in the tomb, you can find a waterway to get out.

"Isn't it okay to dig a hole?"

"No, our current position is too deep, very far from the ground, and we can't dig such a long hole up."

"Is there only one way to find water? I get goosebumps when I think of that icy underground river." I thought.

The surrounding area is completely silent, only the conversations of a few of us. At this time, I looked around and found that the space of this cave is very huge, even bigger than a gymnasium. I don’t know what the ancients dug in such a magnificent cave. Meaning, I leaned over to Poker Ping and asked him: "Da Bo, is this still within the range of the Zhang family's ancestral grave?"

He nodded.

I couldn't help but exclaimed: "Our ancestors are so powerful, since they were able to spend so much time building a kingdom underground, why didn't they devote all their energy to the people living on the ground?"

Poker bottle was obviously stunned by my question, and he was speechless.

The fat brother couldn't help but interjected, "Oh, don't ask my brother such a profound question. He has a bad memory and has forgotten it long ago. How can he remember why your ancestors are so boring! It is probably in the grave of your Zhang family ancestors. There are many babies."

"Baby? Is that the ultimate?" I asked immediately.

The fat man seemed to have eaten his mouth, his face obviously became unnatural, he looked at Wu Xie as if he was helping, and Wu Xie looked at Poker Bottle again, and then they all fell silent.

The atmosphere suddenly became very stiff, this feeling made me very uncomfortable, I felt that I was excluded, and if I am a descendant of the Zhang family and a descendant of the tomb guard, of course I have the right to know what the ultimate is, let us Zhang What the hell is it that has been guarded by the family for several lifetimes.Hmph~ If you don't tell me, I'm already here anyway, so why don't you check it yourself?I made up my mind.

Poker-Face suddenly fell silent, signaling us not to speak, and then quickly picked up a handful of gravel and threw it into the fire to extinguish the fire.

I only felt that my eyes were dark, and then my hand was dragged away. I couldn't tell the direction in the darkness. I could only follow him. After running for a while, he stopped, lit up the lighter, and pointed to a mountain wall. The winding plank road told us to climb up.

My body has not recovered yet, and I am already out of breath after running this distance. Looking at the plank roads that have been in disrepair for a long time, it seems that it is enough to climb up. At this time, Poyoufeng threw his backpack to Wu. Xie, squatting in front of me, told me to go up.

Is this going to carry me?How embarrassing, my heart is both sweet and tangled.

"My aunt, don't think about it, that thing is catching up." Fat Brother's tone changed, and he pushed me on the back of Poker Ping urgently.

As soon as I lay down on the ground, I looked back, oh my god, two cold green lanterns appeared in the air behind me, and they were floating towards us lingeringly.
