Tomb Raiding: My Family's Last Clan Chief is Little Brother

Chapter 188 Chosen by Droma
Wu Xiaoxie wanted Zhang Wuxun to take this opportunity to deal with the uncontrollable knife.

However, Zhang Wuxun had other concerns. Putting aside the fact that the knife was given to him by the system, the close connection between the knife and his body alone meant that Zhang Wuxun could not dispose of the knife at will.

He didn't know Hei Xiazi well and couldn't trust him like he did the Iron Triangle. If the Illusionary Plot fell into the hands of the Wang family, he would be carrying more than one bomb around his neck.

With his thoughts racing, Zhang Wuxun said to Hei Xiazi, "I won't hide it from you, I do indeed have another knife, but that knife is somewhat malevolent, and I dare not handle it lightly, so..."

Black Bear understood, but didn't seem to care much, saying, "I get greedy when I see good things. Let me know when you get another good knife, so I can have a go."

He then handed over a white business card.

Zhang Wuxun took it and saw that the front had the words "Qigelong Dongqiang Blind Massage" written in gold lettering, and there was a number on the back.

Zhang Wuxun's expression instantly became quite interesting.

Hei Xiazi smiled modestly, "My main job is tomb raiding, massage is a side job, and of course I also work as a bodyguard. If you need anything, just call me, I'm always available."

Wu Xiaoxie's half-closed eyes snapped open, and he asked in surprise, "Are all of you skilled tomb raiders so multi-talented?"

Hei Xiazi laughed, "Of course! Fighting isn't something that happens every day, so having a side job to pass the time is quite necessary."

Before Wu Xiaoxie could say anything, the car suddenly jolted violently. Wu Xiaoxie opened his mouth, but his teeth clashed together, and he almost bit his tongue.

The road ahead was very bumpy, and Wu Xiaoxie was afraid of being bitten again, so he didn't dare to say a word and stayed quietly.

Perhaps because the carriage was crowded and he was surrounded by familiar people, he felt safe and drifted off to sleep.

Halfway through the journey, when they passed through the suburbs, Zhang Wuxun got out of the car and drove his own Lynx, following behind A Ning's car, driving along the highway.

The surrounding area gradually became sparsely populated until it became desolate.

After an unknown amount of time, a commotion in the carriage woke Wu Xiaoxie. He rubbed his eyes and asked in confusion, "What happened?"

The bearded foreigner, whose Chinese was barely passable, replied, "We've arrived."

Only then did Wu Xiaoxie realize that the car had stopped and that A Ning and the others had gotten out.

Looking out the car window, the outside was a sea of ​​people. More than a dozen Land Rovers were lined up on the Gobi Desert, with large amounts of supplies piled up on the ground. Bonfires were lit one after another, and everywhere you looked, there were people wearing trench coats. Around the bonfires were a ring of uniform tents, and not far away stood a huge satellite dish and a gas lamp.

While he was still in a daze, he was the only one left in the car.

Wu Xiaoxie quickly unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car. A cold wind, belonging to the desolate and chilly Gobi Desert, blew over, making him shiver and sneeze several times in a row.

Zhang Wuxun had already changed into a desert camouflage work uniform and got out of the silver Lynx. Seeing this, he went back, opened the trunk, took out a thick windbreaker from the equipment, and threw it to Wu Xiaoxie, saying, "Put this on, don't catch a cold."

Wu Xiaoxie quickly put it on, buttoned it up, and looked at the car behind Zhang Wuxun with some curiosity, "Where did you get this car? It's quite impressive."

Zhang Wuxun smiled and told a little lie, "I bought it here. It's more comfortable to drive my own car."

Wu Xiaoxie gave an approving thumbs-up, then pointed to the vehicles with uniform paint schemes and a soft coral antler logo, and asked, "What's going on? Why are so many people from Aning's company here?"

A bearded foreigner carrying a black box walked by and, upon hearing this, laughed and said, "Super Wu, get ready, we're going to Tamutuo!"

Wu Xiaoxie's face immediately turned pale, and his expression was very strange. When the bearded foreigner asked him what was wrong, he barely managed to brush it off and immediately turned to look at Zhang Wuxun, "Muyu, what exactly happened?" Zhang Wuxun waved and led him back to the car, whereupon he explained the whole story.

After listening, Wu Xiaoxie exclaimed "Holy crap!" after a long while, thankfully saying, "Luckily, I reacted quickly this time."

As he spoke, he took out Chen Wenjin's notebook, which he had obtained from the Golmud Sanatorium, from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Wuxun, saying, "Take a look at this."

Zhang Wuxun took the notebook, skimmed through it quickly, skipped over the middle section, and memorized the final map. He then returned the notebook to Wu Xiaoxie and said in a low voice, "Keep this safe. Don't let A-Ning know unless absolutely necessary."

Wu Xiaoxie nodded and asked, "So you and Xiao Ge are planning to go to Tamutuo with them? What are you going there for? Can you take me with you?"

Zhang Wuxun pondered for a moment, skipping over the first two questions, and said, "Although I personally don't recommend you go, that place is very dangerous, I also know your inquisitive nature. Now that you're here, it's impossible for you to go back in a daze. If you want to figure out what's in Chen Wenjin's notes, a trip to Tamutuo is inevitable."

As the two were talking, someone suddenly approached and knocked on the car window.

Zhang Wuxun rolled down the car window and saw that it was the Caucasian man.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

The Caucasian smiled at Zhang Wuxun and then said, "The team leader would like to invite you two over."

Zhang Wuxun raised an eyebrow. "What is it?"

The Caucasian laughed and said, "The leader said you'll find out when you get there."

Zhang Wuxun thought for a second, glanced at Wu Xiaoxie who looked confused, and said, "Wait a moment."

After finishing speaking, he closed the car window and said to Wu Xiaoxie, "Let's go, I guess they're going to discuss going to Tamutuo."

The two got out of the car and followed the Caucasian man through the Land Rover base, only to discover a large cluster of tents not far behind them.

Upon arriving at the largest and most distinctive Tibetan tent, the Caucasian lifted the Eight Auspicious Symbols curtain and gestured for them to enter.

Through the gap, I could see that Aning and Xiao Ge were already sitting inside, along with Hei Xiazi, the bearded foreigner, and Wu Laosi.

Zhang Wuxun glanced around at the people and furnishings inside the tent, his gaze lingering on a middle-aged woman dressed in Tibetan clothing for a moment before casually looking away and saying to Wu Xiaoxie, "Come in."

The two went inside and sat on small cushions placed on a thick woolen blanket opposite Xiao Ge and A Ning.

A young Tibetan man poured butter tea for the two of them, and then stood next to an elderly Tibetan woman with white hair in the main seat, behaving very respectfully.

Zhang Wuxun confirmed the white-haired old woman's identity, then lowered his eyes, picked up the butter tea, and took a small sip. His eyes immediately lit up. Huh? It tasted better than anything he'd had before! Could it be that the tea he drank in his previous life was fake?

Not sure, give it another try.

It does seem so, the taste is definitely different, hmm... let me have another bite.

Seeing him gulp down the tea, Wu Xiaoxie, who was sitting upright beside him, couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Are you thirsty?"

Dingzhu Zhuoma, the white-haired old woman, glanced in this direction, and Aning and the others also looked over.

Zhang Wuxun coughed, glared at Wu Xiaoxie, and said, "What nonsense are you spouting?"
