Tomb Raider: Call Me Dragon Vein Cleaner

Chapter 54 Spending the Night at a Desolate Grave

Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling both shook their heads.

Chen Wenjin said, "We don't plan to stay here, and we don't have time to prepare a safe house."

Cheng Feng felt that stereotypes had ruined him; he always thought Chen Wenjin was the kind of girl who was cautious yet bold and meticulous.

Now it seems they are indeed very bold, but their attention to detail is questionable.

"Alright, come with me."

Cheng Feng led the two women away from the dock, and then deliberately chose to go to places with few people.

After many twists and turns, we arrived at a wasteland.

"Cheng Feng, have you prepared a safe house here?"

Huo Ling looked at Cheng Feng with a strange expression.

At this time, they were surrounded by a large cemetery, some of which were quite large, complete with tombstones and offerings.

Some graves are just small mounds of earth, covered with grass, and look like they haven't been tended to for years.

"I don't have a safe house. Nobody comes here much. I'll just make do here for the night."

As Cheng Feng spoke, he opened the imaginary space and took out a tent from it.

Chen Wenjin asked, puzzled, "Cheng Feng, is it really necessary for us to go this far?"

In her opinion, Cheng Feng was being a bit too cautious; even if they were going to set up camp, they didn't need to come to a cemetery.

Cheng Feng placed the tent behind a large grave, secured the tent pegs around the perimeter, and then clapped his hands.

"What do you know? I revealed a bit of my physical abilities in the Jingjue Ancient City before."

He was immediately tricked into participating in this archaeological expedition.

"I exposed my ghost eyes again in the underwater tomb; someone might be trying to capture me and dissect me right now."

Its existence is equivalent to the ancient Embroidered Uniform Guard, whose purpose is to grant immortality to a few, or even dozens, of people.

Zhang Qiling and his companions have now fallen into its hands and are being studied at the Golmud Sanatorium.

Cheng Feng was too lazy to engage in a direct confrontation with it, even if he killed all its henchmen.

It can also quickly gather another group of henchmen, and might even mobilize the war machine to conduct a military counter-terrorism exercise.

At that point, the Italian cannon might just be aimed at Cheng Feng.

"Indeed, your abilities are truly superhuman. If it were me, I would also like to capture you and study you."

Huo Ling nodded in agreement.

"You talk too much, hurry up and go find some firewood."

A few minutes later, the three sat in front of the fire eating offerings they had taken from their neighbors.

My feelings are a bit strange. In the past, people would take burial goods, but now they're even taking food. It's a bit inhumane.

"Life is like this: yesterday I was eating meat and fish in the cafeteria, and today I'm squatting on a grave eating offerings."

Huo Ling shook her head and sighed as she peeled the apple with a knife.

"You should be grateful that you still have food to eat. If you were destined to be guinea pigs, you would have become test subjects by now."

Cheng Feng, carrying the fine wine offered by the wealthy family, took a big gulp and said.

"Our original destiny?"

Chen Wenjin looked at Cheng Feng and repeated what Cheng Feng had said.

Cheng Feng nodded: "In the future I envision, all of you in the archaeological team will be given to it by Wu Sansheng."

Then it fed you an elixir of immortality and imprisoned you in a sanatorium called Golmud.

"So you're also a prophet?"

Chen Wenjin's eyes flickered, as if she was considering the truth of what Cheng Feng had said.

Cheng Feng took another sip of wine and said, "It's similar to a divinely ordained poet; occasionally, I can see glimpses of the future that are related to me."

Huo Ling, however, curiously pressed for an answer:

"So what was the result? Did we really achieve immortality?"

Cheng Feng looked at the little girl with pity.

"No, and you're the unluckiest one, turning into a hair monster like the Forbidden Woman."

Huo Ling shrank her neck, feeling a chill run down her spine.

Chen Wenjin's expression was grave. She believed Cheng Feng's words, and according to her calculations, if Cheng Feng weren't in this team...

She was destined to be caught in Wu Sansheng's scheme, and her final fate would be the same as the rest of the archaeological team.

It was given to it by Wu Sansheng and Xie Lianhuan in exchange for its trust.

"What happened to Sister Wenjin afterward?"

"She lived for decades, and her appearance and figure remained unchanged; she was still a beautiful young woman."

Cheng Feng looked at Huo Ling with amusement. "Kid, you're the most unlucky one."

Chen Wenjin's expression was solemn. If what Cheng Feng said was true, since Huo Ling had become a forbidden woman, there was no reason why there would be no side effects for her.

Huo Ling was somewhat happy for Chen Wenjin.

"That elixir of immortality worked on Sister Wenjin?"

"No, her final fate wasn't good either. She imprisoned herself in a grave, and whether she died or not is unknown."

Cheng Feng shattered Huo Ling's illusions by giving a major spoiler about the tragic endings of the two women.

For a moment, Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling both fell silent.

"Stop overthinking. The future has changed, and what I'm talking about is no longer possible, so cherish the present."

After saying that, Cheng Feng stretched and got up to go back to his tent to sleep.

Huo Ling and Chen Wenjin looked at the tent.

"Cheng Feng, this tent is so small, how are the three of us supposed to sleep in it?"

"There's only one tent. If you don't like it, you can stay with our neighbor. He has a lot of space!"

Cheng Feng was so infuriating that even Chen Wenjin, who had a good temper, was gritting her teeth.

Huo Ling stood up without saying a word and walked to a spot not far away.

Chen Wenjin quickly asked, "Xiaoling, where are you going?"

A short while later, Huo Ling returned carrying a tree branch.

"Wenjin, wait a moment, I'll go and steal the tent. If I fail, remember to avenge me."

After saying that, Huo Ling walked towards the tent without looking back, exuding an aura as chilling as the wind and the Yi River.

Chen Wenjin rolled her eyes helplessly. Sometimes she really wondered if she was taking care of two kindergarten seniors.

"Cheng Feng, you scoundrel, you're still sleeping soundly. Today I'm going to show you what I'm capable of."

"Damn it, Huo Ling, you're asking for it! I'm not letting you get away with this today!"

With Cheng Feng's cry of pain, screams and sounds of fighting erupted from inside the tent.

A few minutes later, it suddenly became quiet inside.

Chen Wenjin was in a daze for a while when she suddenly realized that there was no movement inside.

He quickly stood up, opened the tent, and looked inside.

The two were fast asleep, each occupying one side of the bed in a harmonious manner.

"What a tragedy! Those two deserve to die!"

Chen Wenjin clenched his fists, really wanting to punch these two shameless bastards to death.

She had already planned to spend the night outside by herself and keep watch at the same time.

What's the point of keeping watch now? She's keeping watch for those two bastards all night. Doesn't she feel guilty?

Thinking it over, Chen Wenjin unceremoniously pushed Huo Ling toward Cheng Feng, making enough room for herself before lying down.

Around 3 a.m.

Cheng Feng was fast asleep, hugging a soft pillow that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, when he suddenly heard footsteps approaching.

He suddenly opened his eyes in the darkness.
