Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 35

After all, everyone had heard about Hu Bayi's past experiences; this place was not a fun place, and it was fraught with danger.

As they approached, Hu Ming suddenly discovered a corpse at the cave's bend. Judging from the person's attire and appearance, Hu Ming immediately guessed who the person was.

Hu Bayi, who was in front of Hu Ming, also noticed them and guessed that these might be the explorers Yang Xueli had mentioned.

"Miss Yang, come and take a look."

"What's wrong?"

Upon seeing Hu Bayi calling her name, Yang Xueli immediately approached and soon saw the corpse.

"This," judging from the label and attire, Yang Xueli observed that this person was indeed an explorer from her father's team. It seemed that hunger and cold had led to his accidental death.

However, Yang Xueli discovered that there seemed to be a handgun in the exploration package of the corpse.

Upon seeing this, Yang Xueli immediately took it out and began to inspect it. Her movements as she examined the firearm were remarkably practiced, leaving the fat man behind her stunned.

Afterwards, Yang Xueli found many bullet boxes on the corpse and put them away.

Watching Yang Xueli's actions, the fat man quietly approached Hu Bayi and whispered, "Old Hu, there's definitely something wrong with this woman. Look at how well she handles that gun."

"I know."

"What, you know?"

"Yes, but don't worry, Mingzi and I discovered a long time ago that she's not simple."

at this time……

Chichi~
"Everyone be careful!" Hu Bayi immediately tensed up, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

He knew that voice all too well.

Suddenly, a bright blue firefly appeared, its wings flashing, and a faint blue flame swirled around it. The firefly flew towards Yang Xueli, its blue flames illuminating her face.

The shadow of death made Yang Xueli feel the approach of the Grim Reaper, and a layer of cold sweat instantly appeared on her pretty face.

"Shirley!" Professor Chen and the others were panicked and uneasy, but they were helpless.

Hu Ming carefully pulled out an entrenching tool, then suddenly swung it forward and slapped the firefly into the snow. A blue light appeared in the snow, then steam rose out with a "sizzle," and the blue light stopped.

Just to be on the safe side, Hu Ming patted the snow with his entrenching tool.

Hu Bayi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to Hu Ming after seeing that Yang Xueli was alright.

Hu Bayi once again reminded everyone to be careful and walk quietly.

Then he led Hu Ming, and the two of them walked ahead to clear the way, while the two big soldiers followed behind to block the path.

They continued forward, venturing deeper into the territory. Hao Aiguo held a compass, while Sa Dipeng carried an altimeter that resembled a thermometer.

"We're heading east now." As he said this, Hao Aiguo looked surprised and exclaimed, "Isn't this the direction we came from?"

The crowd looked at each other in awe, marveling at the incredible artistry of nature.

When we came, we traversed mountains and cliffs on the ground. Now…

They actually went that way from deep underground.

“Altitude, 1,200 meters.” Sadipeng exclaimed, looking at the instruments. “We’ve come down very deep.”

While the group was chatting, Yang Xueli was alone on the side, taking pictures everywhere with her camera, and then walked into a certain place.

The fat man who had been watching her secretly followed her.

"Professor Chen, something terrible has happened! Miss Yang is missing!" Ga Wa exclaimed anxiously, looking around frantically.

His mission was to protect everyone's safety, and now, out of the blue, he'd lost a major investor, which was driving him crazy. Professor Chen and his team were even more anxious; this was their financial backer!

"Wait, someone's missing?" Ga Wa counted the heads and found that Fatty was also gone.

Hu Bayi glanced at everyone, frowned, and said, "Fatty is gone too."

Just as the big guy was about to scold the little boy, he was stopped by Hu Ming, who was standing nearby.

"Alright, everyone calm down and keep your voices down. If you attract the fireflies, things will get even worse."

Hu Ming spoke seriously, then exchanged a glance with Hu Bayi. They knew that Yang Xueli might have run away on her own, and the fat man was just following her.

While everyone was looking for Yang Xueli and Fatty, Fatty suddenly ran out.

The fat man smiled at everyone and asked, "What did you find?" without mentioning what he had been doing.

"Comrade Xiao Wang, you brothers have all been up to no good. What have you been up to? Give us an explanation."

Hao Aiguo glanced at Hu Ming, then adjusted his glasses, his face stern, and his tone rather harsh.

"Did you secretly take some treasure?"

Hao Aiguo must have been out of his mind to say such things.

"Hey, should I tell you? You must be half asleep," the fat man said disdainfully, looking at Hao Aiguo.

At this moment, Hu Ming and Hu Bayi's expressions also turned ugly. Hu Ming narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a cold tone, "Don't make baseless accusations. You need to have evidence to support your claims, otherwise it might be difficult for us brothers to get along with you."

Hu Ming thought to himself: Damn it, if there was no one here, I would have killed you long ago.

Hu Ming had just left the battlefield not long ago, and the murderous aura on his body had not yet dissipated.

However, in Hu Ming's memory, Hao Aiguo eventually died in the desert.

So Hu Ming didn't want to waste too much time talking to him.

"Patriotism, that's enough. We're all on the same team, why are you saying such strange things?"

When Professor Chen saw his student Hao Aiguo acting erratically and about to offend someone, he was so angry that his face turned green.

They all need these people's help to find the Jingjue Ancient City, and he himself dares not neglect these three brothers in the slightest. But you, in this situation, have offended all three of them at once.
