Tomb Raider: I Can Hear Antiques Talk

Chapter 82
The camel caravan moved forward at a leisurely pace, occasionally a breeze blew by, and there was a faint and indistinct human voice, either laughing or crying, or shouting or talking.

Xiao Ran thought that he was hallucinating, and his ears caught some inaudible sound.But Hu Bayi, Shirley Yang, and An Liman who were next to them also heard it, and there were also tired discussions from behind the team.

An Liman covered his ears and yelled Hu Da's prestige, he thought it was the devil's seductive whispers. Shirley Yang explained to everyone that this is part of a mirage, just a sound without images.

Hu Bayi was very curious. He didn't expect that this mirage could not only record video, but also record audio.

Shirley Yang said that this situation is not uncommon, and even similar discoveries have been made all over the world.In some valleys in the southwestern provinces of our country, whenever there is a thunderstorm or strong wind, the nearby residents will hear the sound of gongs and drums, the roar of war horses, the cry of people, and even the collision of metal weapons, as if they were in the An ancient battlefield where soldiers fought hand to hand.

Because the sound was too weird and there was no scientific explanation at the time, the local residents rumored that there was an invisible ghost king practicing Yin soldiers in the valley.The legend became more and more popular, and many local people even said that some headaches, accidental injuries, and even getting lost in the valley were caused by evil soldiers. Later, many people moved out of the mountain village where they had lived for generations.

Later, some scientists proposed that this is because there is a special magnetic field in the local area, which can record the previous sounds.When encountering weather such as strong winds and thunderstorms, the friction between the air and the valley will make these ancient sounds sound again like pressing the play button.

It's just that she didn't expect to encounter a similar situation in the desert.

After the sound disappeared completely, An Liman's heart finally settled down.He stared at those fox-like eyes again, and began to search for those life landmarks that survived tenaciously.

Along the way, the wind and sand were blowing and blowing, until the evening, and finally reached a highest sand dune.An Liman placed the camels on the top of the hill, and the tired camels knelt in a row, waiting for An Liman to feed them one by one.Everyone unloaded the equipment and piled it next to the camel, and a simple sand-proof wall was built.

An Liman took everyone to the lee of the sand dunes, and lit a bonfire to boil water and make tea.

The fat man sat down on the sand and complained: "The wind blows the sand all over the sky, and I dare not even say a word. This journey suffocates me to death."

"Hey, this is the windy season! In the black desert, there will be sandstorms every one or two days. The sandstorms are good! Otherwise, when the sun comes out, the water in the bodies of people and camels will be sucked up. If you don't want to blow the sand, you can turn around... ..."

An Liman was nagging, and started talking about retreating again.The fat man said: "I'd rather have the sun, wouldn't I just sweat a little? It's all about losing weight."

An Li said without raising his head, "Oh, what do you know! We have just reached the edge of the Black Desert. We have to walk for another five days before we can enter the depths of the Black Desert, which is the realm of the devil and quicksand. And car-eating gold-eating ants, and more ghost towns to lure you..."

Shirley Yang looked at the notebook with a flashlight, and said to everyone: "According to the distance on the map, we are already within the range of those stone tombs. But why can't we see anything..."

At this moment, Ye Yixin came back suddenly and pulled Shirley Yang aside and whispered something in her ear. Shirley Yang said to Hu Bayi, "We have something to do on the side of the sand dunes."

Hu Bayi understood it wholeheartedly, and threw a whistle to her: "Shout loudly if there is danger, and blow the whistle if it doesn't work."

A soft light flashed in Shirley Yang's eyes, pulling Ye Yixin to leave.The fat man jumped up suddenly, as if he was deliberately against her, and rushed towards the direction she was pointing at, shouting as he ran, "I'm suffocating, I'm suffocating..."

Shirley Yang was taken aback by what he said, turned his face and rolled his eyes, and said to Ye Yixin: "Let's go, let's go over there..."

The two walked hand in hand to the back of another small sand dune, Xiao Ran looked at their backs, and a question of two lifetimes surfaced in his heart: "Why is it not so strange for girls to walk together hand in hand? Why do girls always go to the bathroom together?"

Hu Bayi waved his hand in front of Xiao Ran's eyes, and said with a smile, "Comrade Xiao, I want to formally criticize you, how can I blatantly watch lesbians go to the bathroom."

Xiao Ran came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "Accept it humbly, and correct it decisively! I'll take a peek next time!"

In fact, he is not that boring, he is more concerned about the location of the stone tomb.It stands to reason that Ye Yixin should have stepped into the quicksand when he relieved himself, and then accidentally discovered the stolen cemetery.In this vast sea of ​​sand, no matter how godly he looked, he could only count on Ye Yixin's accident this time.

But after a while, Shirley Yang and Ye Yixin walked towards them holding hands, talking and laughing.

What's the situation?This urination is so smooth, it will make the desert trip more difficult!
He quickly called Suohun Dinglingzhu: "Suozi! Where is the voice of the soul you mentioned?"

The voice of the soul-locking Lingzhu resounded: "Just under your feet, dozens of souls are singing the elegy of the end of life. In the southwest of you, the sand wind sent the mourning of the abandoned..."

"Are you always talking so sour..."

As soon as Xiao Ran finished speaking, the fat man's loud voice sounded not far away: "Old Hu! Xiao Ran! Help me!"

Xiao Ran looked back, and it was really the southwest, but he didn't expect the fat man to fall into the pit!
He and Hu Bayi hurried over, only to see that the fat man's legs had sunk into the sand, and his body was still sinking centimeter by centimeter as he struggled violently.

Hu Bayi untied the belt resolutely, flew towards the fat man, and threw the other end of the belt to the fat man's hand.While the fat man was holding on to the belt, Xiao Ran also pulled out Hu Bayi's leg and pulled it back hard.

I thought that the fat man who fell into the quicksand would weigh far more than usual.After all, the sinking quicksand is like a devil's throat that is swallowed hard, and the force to swallow people is very strong.

But the two didn't use much force, plus the fat man kicked and kicked himself, and they easily broke free from the sandpit.

The others rushed over when they heard the sound, and happened to see the three of them lying or rolling in the sand, and the fat man's calf was still buried in the sand.Su Dipeng panicked and shouted: "Quicksand!"

Everyone rushed forward and hurriedly helped the three people who were out of danger.

"Fatty, what the hell did you piss out? You're so angry that I'm going to bury you alive!" Hu Bayi said.

An Liman waved his hands anxiously: "Don't talk nonsense! Hu Da doesn't care about this! You will be punished by Hu Da for talking nonsense!"

The fat man said with an aggrieved face, "I've been holding back for a whole day today, and it's cool when the wind blows right now, so I wanted to smoke a cigarette for a stroll, but I fell into it when I stepped on the air."

Shirley Yang looked a little puzzled, and asked the fat man: "After you got stuck, didn't you go any further?"

Hu Bayi then said: "When I came, the sand was almost up to his waist, but it really didn't seem to go any further."

"That's not right. If it's quicksand, the ten seconds from when he shouted to when you rushed over would be enough to swallow him completely. Unless..."

Xiao Ran interrupted Shirley Yang, and hurriedly said: "Unless the ground is solid, there might be a stone tomb underneath!"

As soon as the fat man heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "Ah, yes! I did seem to be stepping on a board, and then it collapsed."

Everyone couldn't help but dig up with tools.
