Chapter 3: Step One To Save One’s Life: Follow The Plot
Probably due to the concussion, Lin Yan always felt like he was swaying back and forth when he was about to wake up, with someone whispering in his ear, his head dizzy and uncomfortable, but he just couldn’t open his eyes, somewhat like sleep paralysis.
He was thoroughly startled awake by a “bang” of a loud noise.
Before he could even pursue what thing made the sound, he first noticed his own perspective. It seemed upside down?
Lin Yan strained his neck to look ahead, only seeing trees constantly moving forward in his view. So… someone was carrying, ah no, shouldering him while walking? Something on his face was rubbing him itchy, he turned his head to look, it was a black bag.
Hmm? Which bastard is still shouting and yelling? He was getting annoyed from being called, started struggling. The person shouldering him probably had a bad carrying posture, his two arms had dangled for a long time, now moving made them sore and numb, unable to exert any strength at all. His stomach was still constantly being poked by the shoulder, if it weren’t for him not having eaten or drunk since falling down until now, he might have been poked until he was about to vomit before waking up! His dizziness, even if not a concussion, must have been shaken dizzy by this big brother!
Speaking of which, he seemed a bit hungry?
He tried using his arms, which had been shaken too long and were now sore and numb, to touch the leg of the person carrying him. “Brother, I’m awake, let’s make a deal, put me down and let me walk myself?”
The next second, he was placed flat on the ground face up, as expected, the back of his head collided with the ground not too intensely, successfully extending the dizziness buff by another 10 seconds.
He couldn’t help but look at Da Kui, who had been shouldering him, with a face full of resentment. Heh! Just knew he couldn’t count on this simple-minded, muscle-brained guy!
Da Kui grinned foolishly, took out a set of clothes from the bag: “Third Master instructed that once Lin Xiaoge you wake up, change into these, it’s inconvenient to go underground in what you’re wearing.” Then he pulled another bag out of the bag like magic, inside were some bulging things, unknown what stuff.
“These are extra supplies we bought, Third Master said no need for your money, if we can get out this trip, it’s all written off.”
Lin Yan eased his arms and crawled up from the ground, turned his head to see only the two of them there, no outsiders, directly stripped off his clothes and put on the equipment: “Thanks brother, if we can get out, I’ll treat you to drinks.”
Huh? Something seems off?
Uh… so did this Da Kui die or not? After putting on the clothes and checking the equipment, he scratched his head, looked toward the few people who were making noise, an old man was crying to heaven and earth, kneeling and begging for mercy, estimating the reason for his agitation was the gun in Panzi’s hand, which was the culprit that woke him up.
While walking over there with Da Kui, he nodded his mouth toward those people, turned his head and asked: “Da Kui brother, what’s going on over there? And who are the other few in our team? Also, what did you just mean by going underground?”
Da Kui answered while walking: “That old man is the one who led us to Jishi Land yesterday, ran off halfway by himself, wasn’t this run into by us again? Probably he didn’t expect us to come out. Third Master and Panzi you met yesterday, the one over there wearing the hood is a strange man Zhang Xiaoge, don’t know his full name, we only know he’s surnamed Zhang. His blood can repel corpse beetles, and also repel puppets! That one over there is Third Master’s nephew, Wu Xie.”
At this point he turned his head to look at Lin Yan, looking at him until he broke out in cold sweat, then added: “The one you smashed.” Finished with a foolish grin, “As for going underground… Third Master didn’t tell you? We’re tomb robbers, going underground naturally means… archaeology.”
Heh, laugh ass! Lin Yan inwardly wanted to cry but had no tears, I didn’t want to either damn it! Who wants to transmigrate like this! So sloppy? And your Third Master from start to finish only said a few words to me! Self-introduction and tricking me into repaying with my body, that’s it! Did he explain to me? Huh?
“Third Master, Lin Xiaoge is awake!” Da Kui’s shout drew everyone’s attention over, after shouting he walked behind Wu Sansheng, leaving Lin Yan facing everyone’s gazes, trembling.
He noticed one gaze particularly resentful, a sneaky glance, it was exactly Wu Xie.
Damn it, it’s not like I wanted to smash you! Inwardly gnashing teeth at the scheming old fox, but on the surface still pretending to be calm and breezy, Lin Yan felt he was about to split personality! If not for the current situation being weaker than people, he felt his escape speed could break the marathon world record!
On the surface, Lin Yan just faintly smiled toward Wu Sansheng, and nodded toward Panzi and the others as greeting: “Third Master morning, everyone morning!”
Only Da Kui nodded toward him, Panzi just slightly raised his head as greeting, Wu Sansheng still had that profound smile looking at him, not speaking.
Wu Xie originally wanted to reach out and greet him, but seeing no one speak, silently withdrew his hand.
Gradually unable to stand the weird atmosphere of no one speaking, he mustered courage, silently walked behind Wu Sansheng. “Third Master, I’m fine now, let’s go.” The Zhang Qiling next to him had no movement, but the hood slightly turned toward him, not knowing what he was thinking.
The old man seeing him come originally showed a pleading look, but seeing him obediently stand behind Wu Sansheng, the look turned into subtle disdain. Lin Yan responded by minding his own business. Heh, what can I, an ordinary person, help you with? I don’t even know who you are! But the one Panzi is pointing a gun at… can be any good person?
By the way, what is this NPC’s role? Lead them to find the tomb? Hiss, seems like they found something before.
He obediently followed behind the few people, the old man leading them all the way into the valley. During this, ignoring countless resentful looks from Wu Xie, probing looks from the mute bottle, half-smiling looks from Panzi, and Wu Sansheng’s scheming old fox looks making him obediently listen, thoroughly implementing the three no’s principle of not initiating speech, not initiating conversation, and not acting alone, becoming another mute in the team. Anyway, listening to them talk can relieve boredom, right? Da Kui? Da Kui has no looks, why would this fool look at him?
Just like this, walked for more than half a day, everyone had no energy to talk, walking somewhat tired, the old man suddenly stopped, staring at a bush, as if discovering something, even speech unclear, just pointing at the bush trembling all over: “Here… here”
Panzi pushed him: “Why not walking? Playing what trick?”
Following his line of sight, lying in the bush was a mobile phone, approaching to see it still stained with bloody water.
So that’s it! Lin Yan slapped his head in sudden realization, before going down the tomb they found a abandoned camp! Great, finally food! He was about to starve to death! Do you know how hard it was to hold in his stomach growling the whole way?
