Tomb Raider: Starting from the Valley of Insects, integrating Golden Silkworm Gu

Chapter 5 Four people gather, ready for action

Peacock Inn.

"Fat man, get up quickly. There is news from Commissioner Shi."

Hu Bayi jumped out of bed, grabbed a coat, put it on, and kicked the fat man's ass.

The fat man was soundly asleep, he groaned twice, turned around and continued to sleep.

"Wait! What do you think happened to Commissioner Shi?"

Feeling something was wrong, he quickly opened his eyes and crawled out of bed.

"Did he not sleep in that room?"

"No, I just heard what Shirley Yang said. Commissioner Shi followed the peacock out and found the waterway through Zhelong Mountain."

While talking, Hu Bayi was already fully dressed and his equipment was packed and placed at hand.

"There is actually a waterway, but it was not recorded on Blind Chen's map."

The fat man got up a little fast, and his mind was a little dazed.

"What? Are you unhappy? Do you want to climb the mountain, or do you want to be like Blind Chen and destroy your tricks?"

"No, no, no, it's better to take the water route. I have 100% trust in Commissioner Shi!"

"Then hurry up and clean up, nonsense!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a hasty knock on the door.

"Old Hu, Fatty, it's getting late, are you ready?"

Opening the door, Shirley Yang was already ready to go.

In addition, there are peacocks and a strange man outside.

Seeing his doubts, Shirley Yang explained, "It's Peacock's elder brother."

Hu Bayi nodded and smiled at him, then lowered his head slightly and whispered against her face.

"Go now? Do you know the route?"

"Don't worry, Xiaoshi has marked the road!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and settled the bill for Peacock.

"Have you seen enough? We're leaving today."

Peacock took the money, looked at them with complicated eyes, hesitated to speak.

The man remained silent and kept busy in the yard collecting the prey he had brought back.

The three of them didn't say much, and after packing up, they prepared to get in the car and leave.

Just when Hu Bayi was about to drive out of the hospital, the man came over carrying two shotguns.

The fat man saw it through the rearview mirror, his face a little horrified, but he already had something on hand.

"Old Hu, that kid is here with a gun, what is he going to do?"

"Don't act rashly!"

Shirley Yang comforted the two and then got out of the car.

"Brother, what's the matter?"

"For you."

Expressions froze, looking at the two shotguns handed over, the three of them were a little confused.

There was only one sentence in Shi Lei's message, and some things for making bamboo rafts, but there was no mention of poisonous bees.

"What do you mean?"

"Do you know Shi Lei?"

"know."

"That's right, he saved me and the peacock, this is what we sent you."

The man said and glanced at the car.

"I know what you are going to do. Your car can't get in. If you don't mind, I can take you to a small road."

Before Shirley Yang could speak, the fat man got out of the car first, holding the shotgun in his hand.

"Then thank you brother, without further ado, we are on our way now!"

The man nodded, and took a bag of wild pork from the side, "Eat it on the road."

The three of them took it over gratefully, and walked out behind him.

"We are really taking advantage of Commissioner Shi. Chief of Staff Yang, you really made the right call for reinforcements."

The fat man was carrying wild boar meat with a smile on his face.

"Those who belong to pigs know how to eat!"

Xueli Yang on the side is not as broad-minded and fat as he is, she feels that Shi Lei has more and more secrets.

The path was rugged, but the distance was short. The four of them hurriedly hurried along, but it was a little earlier than Shi Lei estimated.

……

By the stream, Shi Lei had collected the poisonous bees and used his saber to cut a few good bamboos.

The breath on his body disappeared completely, and those poisonous bees never came again.

According to the weight of the four people and the weight of the equipment, he cut eight pieces of bamboo and put them aside, waiting for Lao Hu and the others to arrive.

Before coming here, he had already made sufficient preparations, including the method of making bamboo rafts and the super-long standby lights.

Sitting on a rock to rest, I just took a few breaths when I heard footsteps coming from across the river.

Looking over, he saw Brother Peacock coming with three people, which surprised him a little.

"Hey, here it is!"

He waved his hand at them, and the next second, the familiar buzzing sound filled his ears again. Presumably, the smell of the three of them caught the attention of the poisonous bees.

Frowning tightly, he brought the aura of the three of them under his own protection.

After a while, those annoying buzzing noises disappeared.

"Why did you come from over there?"

As he asked, he placed a bamboo across the river.

"Brother Peacock took us down the path."

Several people stepped on the bamboo carefully and crossed the river.

"The bamboo in Yunnan is very strong, and the bamboo raft made in this way must be stable."

As the fat man spoke, his whole body sank, and the bamboo bobbed up and down on the water.

Excellent toughness, no cracks at all.

"Okay, let's hurry up, the sky is about to change."

Looking up at the sky, the black clouds turned black, and a heavy rain was brewing.

Peacock's elder brother said nothing all the way, Shi Lei didn't ask any more questions, and knew why he was helping.

The five people worked quickly, and since they all had experience in surviving in the wild, they worked very quickly. It seemed that it was not impossible to finish the project before the storm.

Fatty and Lao Hu tied bamboo, Xueli Yang and Shi Lei installed lights at the stern.

Peacock's elder brother lit a fire and prepared to roast a wild boar leg.

"Xiao Shi, I heard from Brother Peacock that you saved them. Tell me, what happened?"

Shai said softly, "It's nothing, I just encountered a poisonous wasp with a human face. I happened to have the powder to repel them, so I saved them by accident."

Shirley Yang nodded, "So that's it, thanks to you these days. Otherwise, Fatty would have reported to the Lord of Hell long ago, and we probably wouldn't have been able to find such a waterway."

"You're welcome, I'm also doing it for my own research."

Shi Lei's words fit perfectly, Xue Liyang tried hard for a long time, but he couldn't make out any words.

Soon, the general steps of the bamboo raft were completed, only a few minor tasks were needed, and the smell of wild boar legs wafted over.

A few people didn't eat in the morning, and they were already hungry. At this time, they had worked for a long time, and their stomachs were growling.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck from the sky and a few drops of rain fell.

"It's raining, let's eat quickly, and it's time to act in a while."

Several people sat around the fire, eating engrossedly, and no one spoke.

After a long time, the man stared at the river and said in a daze.

"There has been a lot of rain in recent years, and the river inside has long changed its course. It is full of dangers. You must be extremely careful when entering."

"Diverted?"

"That's right, but no matter how you change it, it will flow to one place, so you don't have to worry about going astray. It's just that if you go wrong, it will take more time."

"Then do you know which one is correct?"

Shaking his head, "I haven't been in there, I just heard what others said."
