Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 656 Patting the Dog's Head!
The group of burly men with buzz cuts, wearing black masks and carrying daggers entered through the door; they were clearly not good people.

Xiao Hua's expression remained unchanged. She took off her suit jacket, unbuttoned her shirt cuffs, rolled up her sleeves, flexed her wrists, and lowered her gaze slightly.

These people all held knives in their left hands and had unusually long two fingers on their right hands.

"It's you guys, no doubt about it..."

Xiaohua nodded expressionlessly, indicating that she hadn't waited for the wrong person.

"Playing tricks, let's get him!!!"

The group exchanged glances, unable to figure it out, so they simply stopped thinking about it and rushed towards Xiaohua in a swarm!
They came specifically for Xiaohua; they wanted to kill her!!!
"That's perfect, everyone's in a rush, isn't it better to be direct?"

Instead of advancing, Xiaohua retreated, but instead gave a rare, hearty laugh and stepped forward!
The river beside the railway tracks was several meters away from the train, but to Hu Ming, that distance was nothing.

Driven by inertia, Hu Ming lurched forward a short distance before landing steadily on the river surface.

Because the train was going too fast, the river was almost like a soft, elastic solid the moment Hu Ming fell in. He tumbled several times on the surface of the river to cushion the impact of his fall before finally sinking into the water.

Several hundred meters ahead, the crew on the covered boat had already spotted Hu Ming's movements and, without making him wait any longer, quickly sailed over.

"How are our little Li Cu and Dr. Liang doing? Have they been picked up?"

"I hope nothing goes wrong and the person actually drowns; that would be a really bad joke."

Once on the boat, Hu Ming wiped the river water from his face and asked softly.

"Don't worry, Second Master, the two have been received. To be honest, their physical condition is too poor!"

"The impact of falling into the water knocked them unconscious, but that's good, it saves us the trouble of taking action."

His subordinates brought Hu Ming clean clothes, and he nodded in response.

"Then let's go. Full speed ahead. We need to hurry into the desert and get the enemy into Gutongjing before they do. Gaining a time advantage is very important."

The ship was full of men, so Hu Ming didn't shy away from the situation and took off his wet clothes on the deck to change into clean ones.

Along the way, Hu Ming had already arranged everything for the trip, and they disembarked at a small, unknown ferry crossing thirty kilometers ahead on the river.

Then, the group transferred to a pre-arranged off-road vehicle and sped towards the Alashan region of Inner Mongolia.

This time, the route to the desert was completely different from the last time, and even completely different from the route Hu Ming took back.

A day later, the convoy had passed through a service area and officially entered the Alashan Desert region.

Before nightfall, the group arrived at the last supply point before entering the desert.

It is worth mentioning that before they officially arrived at Alashan, the others who had accompanied them had already quietly left, and only Hu Ming drove there with Li Chu and Liang Wan, who were still unconscious.

crunch...

A drifting maneuver to the extreme parked the car precisely into an empty space where there were no parking spaces. Unfortunately, this cool moment was not captured in a coffin.

The noise from the car startled Liang Wan, who was sprawled out in the back seat, and Li Chu, who was leaning against the passenger seat, awake. "Hu Ming, you son of a bitch! Where the hell am I? The desert? How did I get here?"

The first thing Li Chu did upon waking was to instinctively curse after being thrown into the water. However, the scene before him left him momentarily stunned.

"Damn, are you kidding me? We were just thrown into the river from the train, how long have we been unconscious? A whole day?"

"Tell me honestly, Hu Ming, did you drug us? And did you do anything inappropriate while I was unconscious?"

Liang Wan cautiously examined the clothes. Although they were somewhat disheveled, her intuition told her that no one had touched them, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"...First of all, I have no interest in unresponsive 'corpses,' and besides, you're not my type..."

"Secondly, your physical fitness is really too weak. You two are disgusting high school students and useless NEET adults. You really should exercise."

Hu Ming silently lit a cigarette, too lazy to pay attention to these two drama queens, and got out of the car.

Before you is a guesthouse built from loess and wood.

This place is already in the middle of the desert, and this guesthouse is the only one for hundreds of miles around.

Despite its rugged and dilapidated appearance, it is the only option for people entering the desert from here.

“Woof woof woof!!”

Sensing the presence of strangers, the dog tied to the door started barking loudly.

Liang Wan and Li Cu, who were still somewhat confused while following behind Hu Ming, were startled and instinctively hid behind Hu Ming.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. My dog ​​looks fierce, but it's actually very gentle. It never bites strangers, it only bites thieves!"

Upon hearing the news, the owner, dressed in ethnic clothing, came out of the room and laughed heartily.

"What? You call this being kind?"

Liang Wan's lips twitched as she looked at the large dog, which was displaying a fierce and wild nature.

"No, I think the boss is right, he is indeed very kind."

Hu Ming squatted down and patted the dog's head with a smile.

Strangely, the dog, which had been displaying a fierce demeanor, seemed to sense a terrifying aura of a prehistoric beast the moment Hu Ming stroked it.

With a mournful whimper, it obediently crouched down in place, letting Hu Ming pat its head.

They look incredibly adorable, just like a little kitten that everyone can pet and cuddle!
"ha?"

Liang Wan and Li Cu stared at the scene as if they'd seen a ghost. Could it be that Hu Ming was the type who was particularly popular with dogs?
"What the hell, boss? Do you have water and food here?"

Li Cu shook his head and turned to ask the boss, who was also somewhat surprised.
