Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 556 News about the young man

"Sure enough, the door here showed signs of being forcibly pried open, and it was covered in this highly corrosive alkaline powder."

"Has the final defense system of the Zhang Family Ancient Building already been activated once? If that's the case, then Old Madam Huo is probably gone."

Hu Ming scraped a pinch of white powder off the door, rubbed it lightly on his fingertips through his gloves, and sniffed it. He then drew a conclusion.

Hu Ming's eyes flickered. He closed his eyes, shut down his senses, and focused solely on his hearing to make a final check of the situation.

Dead silence.

Apart from the sounds of Wu Xie and the others, there was complete silence!
After a long while, Hu Ming finally caught it!
Countless urgent, creaking sounds emanated from the surrounding cliffs.

Deep within the ancient building, the sounds of various intricate machines continuing to operate, a faint breath, and...
Hu Ming suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze flickering with a mixture of shrewdness and confusion before finally settling into calm.

He bent over, adopting a standard horse stance, and placed his hands on the door.

With his feet firmly planted on the ground, the force rose from the ground, passing through his legs, waist, spine, and arms, a terrifying force twisted into one.

"drink!"

With a soft shout from Hu Ming, a tremendous force suddenly erupted.

creak
The massive door, weighing several tons, was actually pushed open by Hu Ming with brute force, creating a gap large enough for two people to walk side by side!
Just then, Wu Xie and Xiao Hua caught up from behind.

At this moment, the two were looking worriedly at the fat man who was lying unconscious on the ground.

Seeing this, the two remained calm, showing no surprise whatsoever, only a sense of calm and numbness!
When you see too many things that defy common sense, it becomes difficult for you to feel surprised anymore.

"Uncle Ming, what do we do now? Judging from Fatty's condition, he won't wake up anytime soon. He urgently needs treatment."

Wu Xie and Xiao Hua struggled to lift the fat man, and said with difficulty.

Now that things have come to this, their escape route is blocked. Even if they wanted to send someone out to take the fat man out first, they couldn't.

Hu Ming remained silent, only calmly watching the fat man being carried by the two men.

"?"

Wu Xie and Xiao Hua were completely dumbfounded. What was going on?
Could it be that something is wrong with Fatty? Thinking of this, Wu Xie panicked instantly.

just
"Hey, Uncle, your eye for talent is as sharp as ever!"

"All I wanted was to sleep a few more minutes, is that really necessary? You must have kicked my butt just now, right? You must have!"

Just as Wu Xie was becoming increasingly panicked, suddenly, the fat man, who had been looking like a dead pig, moved, stood up, and his haggard, fat face twitched...

"Damn fatso! You were awake a long time ago, weren't you? Then why were you pretending to be dead to scare me? Holy crap, you don't know how much I actually thought you were dead just now!"

Upon seeing this, Wu Xie and Xiao Hua were stunned. After a long while, Wu Xie finally reacted, his eyes reddening as he cursed loudly.

But judging from the relieved expression on his face, Wu Xie wasn't angry at Fatty's behavior, but rather relieved.

Thankfully, the fat man is safe and sound.

"The main thing is that Uncle's kick just now must have had some hidden meaning; it actually woke me up..."

"Let's not talk about that now. Do you guys have any food?" "I haven't eaten for almost a week, I'm starving!"

A look of lingering fear and worry appeared on his face, but the fat man reverted to his usual optimistic self, plopping down on the ground with a carefree swagger.

next moment.
"Ouch!! Holy crap, I forgot, this godforsaken place is covered in this strong alkaline powder now, damn it, my ass!"

Not long after he sat down, the fat man suddenly screamed and jumped up, rubbing his buttocks.

The fat man's pants had a small tear at the buttocks, and it was through this tear that the flesh of his buttocks came into direct contact with the strong alkaline powder on the ground.

"This isn't dust, it's a strong alkaline substance?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hua and Wu Xie's expressions changed, and they instinctively reached for their gas masks.

"Yes, this white dust is indeed a strong alkali, strong enough to dissolve a human body into a pile of rotten flesh."

"But it's okay, as long as we don't make any big noise and stir up these things, it'll be fine."

Hu Ming nodded noncommittally. After all, it wasn't time for the Zhang Family Ancient Building's final defense system to be activated yet. As long as they were careful, there wouldn't be any problems.

"That's right, it was Hu Ming who said it! Wait, Third Master? Damn, what are you doing here? When did you come out of that godforsaken place of the Queen Mother of the West? I thought it was Tianzhen when I heard your voice..."

"Wait!!! You're not Third Master!"

The fat man had just received food and water from Hu Ming and was feasting despite the burden on his stomach when he suddenly realized what was happening and stared at Wu Xie in surprise.

“You’re definitely not Third Master! You’re naive, aren’t you? That old fox would never show his emotions on his face.”

"Even if there is, it's just an expression that old fox uses to deceive others. Look at your innocent eyes, you must be naive!"

After carefully examining Wu Xie for a while, the fat man said knowingly.

"Tsk, see? Nephew, you're still far from being able to impersonate Wu Sansheng. Some subtle details are enough for those who know Wu Sansheng to notice."

"You have a long life ahead of you!"

Hu Ming patted the fat man on the shoulder and chuckled.

The hardest part of impersonating someone is never changing their face, but imitating their inner essence.

"So, what's going on here? Tianzhen, why are you suddenly pretending to be that old fox?"

Despite the sharp pain in his stomach, the fat man ate and drank large amounts of food and water, trying to replenish his strength as quickly as possible.

He, Fatty, is the Fat Prince of the tomb raiding world, and he never wants to be a burden to anyone.

The fat man knew that Hu Ming and the others had come here to rescue them.

And the young man... is still deep inside the ancient building!
"That's a long story, I'll tell you when I have time. Fatty, why did you and Zhang Qiling break up?"

Wu Xie sighed and asked in return.

"That's a long story. To be honest, a few days ago, I was knocked unconscious and thrown out by this guy using some special method. As for his current situation... I don't know either!"

Upon hearing this, the fat man's expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice.
