Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

Chi Yu and Zhang Qiling walked in the wind and snow for seven days.

During these days, the number of enemy attacks became less frequent as their advance speed slowed down, and the few times they encountered monsters, they were easily dealt with by Zhang Qiling and turned into their food.

The place in the snow mountain that Zhang Qiling mentioned with the most frequent turbulence seemed to be hidden very deeply, so much so that they had not rested many times along the way, and had walked day and night for such a long time, but still had not reached the place.

I really don't know how he discovered this situation in the first place, Chi Yu thought.

The no-man's land is vast and has endless mountains. If you just want to trap two people here, it would be very easy.

The changes inside the snow mountain are far less obvious than those on the outside, so when the mountain they had just climbed yesterday appeared in front of them again today, anyone could tell something was wrong.

Zhang Qiling stopped on the snow, looked up at the mountain, and said nothing - Zhang Qiling always used silence to replace thinking, and he would not easily express any opinions before reaching a conclusion.

The same goes for Chi Yu.

His gaze lingered on the map of Moyu for a moment, looking at the moved blocks, lowering his eyes to think about the key.

Zhang Qiling said from the very beginning that this change has a pattern, so even if the route is changed by an unknown existence, he can find the correct route again.

But what was the source of this confidence? Familiarity with the original terrain? Or some kind of reference that Chi Yu was not aware of?

Zhang Qiling turned around and looked at Chi Yu for a while: "The situation today is unclear, let's take a break for a while."

In fact, this doesn’t sound like something Zhang Qiling would say.

Because when a goal is hanging in front of them, people like them often don’t think that they have done enough today and should take a break, but will try to end the process as quickly as possible.

They never wait unless the situation requires it.

Chi Yu thought about it and smiled gently: "Didn't you say that you knew how to go?"

“There are still some things that have not been confirmed.”

Zhang Qiling said this and walked towards the place he liked.

They are now standing on the roof of the world, which is already very high, with an altitude of about five or six thousand meters. If you stand on the cliff and look down, it is enough to scare those who are afraid of heights to faint.

The black rocks were sharp and angular. Zhang Qiling dug out a place to live in by digging through the snow in a few strokes. He crawled in, compacted the snow, and waved to Chi Yu.

Chi Yu looked up at the sky.

It is still afternoon and the sun is high in the sky. Everything can be seen clearly, but some of the things are just superficial.

Chi Yu walked to the entrance of the snow cave, bent down, and went in.

He put his coat on the ground, sat down cross-legged, propped up his face and looked at Zhang Qiling, but just watched silently.

Even though Chi Yu knew very well that what Zhang Qiling revealed was very clear, which meant "We can talk before the formal action", Chi Yu could now ask for some information he wanted to know.

——Whatever that is.

But Chi Yu would not be the first person to speak.

If you want to control the pace, becoming the person who asks questions is the easiest way, but how to ask questions also requires careful consideration.

Just like attack and defense, questions and answers often have two sides. Asking questions will often expose a person's intentions, especially when more are involved, while answers are relatively simpler.

Chi Yu and Zhang Qiling both have the desire to find their goals, but their fundamental purposes are different, so although they can be considered companions, they cannot be honest with each other.

The most ideal situation now is actually that Chi Yu finds the most critical problem and then gives Zhang Qiling a fatal blow, so that he can't hide and tells out all the secrets he knows.

Unfortunately, Zhang Qiling himself is like a saw-mouthed gourd, and Chi Yu can hardly get any useful information from him.

The only consolation was that before Zhang Qiling, Chi Yu had already met other members of the Zhang family, and was able to use them as a reference to think about everything about the Zhang family.

For example, there must be something in this snowy mountain that the Zhang family cares about.

Chi Yu never thought that coming to Motuo was a coincidence. The information he had obtained from Zhang Haike before was about Zhang Qiling.

The information that Chi Yu understood at that time was about the other party's attitude towards the Zhang family and himself.

But when he received the commission and went into the mountains, and met Zhang Qiling, who happened to come out from the depths of the snow-capped mountains, things became no longer simple.

What secret is hidden here?

Chi Yu looked at Zhang Qiling, waiting for his answer.

He knew Zhang Qiling would say it, otherwise, why would he choose to hint that he had hidden the secret before?

But the result was that this person really didn't say a word. Instead, he squinted his eyes and began to doze off.

There seems to be a sense of "If you don't ask, I won't speak."

Chi Yu:.

Fine, then don’t tell me. Anyway, there is no time limit for his mission this time, and he is not the one in a hurry to get out.

Thinking of this, Chi Yu opened the system interface and started to find something to do to pass the time.

So the two of them remained in a stalemate.

One was dozing off, the other looked dazed, and even after Zhang Qiling woke up three times, this makeshift camp was still completely silent - there wasn't even a fire.

Zhang Qiling: ...
