Chapter two hundred and sixty-eight separate actions
Originally, this trip to Yamatai would be the key to Laura's training and growth.
On the island, while fighting Solari alone, Laura saw the appearance of ancient ruins, crazy cultists, and even the shamanic magic of Himihu...
It was these valuable experiences that led to the emergence of the future "Tomb Superwoman".
The appearance of Lu Qi saved her from having to face various threats on the island alone.
However, in the first battle with Solari, she still experienced a profound lesson that she must face in adventure: killing!
Fortunately, in a sense, Lu Qi, who has experienced something similar to Laura, has the best say in this situation.
Because he has also experienced this kind of thing...
Lu Qi's first murder was during a gang fight when he first joined "Hot-Blooded Scoundrels".
At that time, in order to compete for territory, Lu Qi and Shen Wei, who was lurking within the triads, followed the boss Winston and started filming with other gangs.
As it was beating, it began to rain heavily.
Lu Qi followed the super-talented Shen Wei into fishing, euphemistically saying he was "protecting his back", and carried everyone along the way.
However, no matter how good your skills are, you are still afraid of kitchen knives.
Shen Wei, such an arrogant thug, was quickly surrounded by five or six gangsters holding watermelon knives.
In order to protect Lu Qi beside him, Shen Wei was unable to use all his skills and could only be beaten passively.
In order to break the situation, Lu Qi picked up a glass bottle and hit a young gangster on the head.
The other party fell to the ground on the spot, his head was bruised and bleeding, and he lay motionless on the ground.
It's funny to say that if Shen Wei hadn't reacted quickly enough later, pulled him up and left the scene with a confused look on his face, Lu Qi might have been arrested by the cop who came to wipe his butt, and spent ten or eight years squatting there. ...
After watching the news later, Lu Qi learned that there were many injured in this gang fight, but only one person died.
And that person was the gangster who was shot in the head with a glass bottle...
Under the guidance of Lu Qi based on his personal experience, Laura quickly cheered up and put all these problems that were not worth worrying about behind her.
Originally, deep down in her heart, she was not the kind of weak woman whose hands would shake even if she killed a chicken.
The adventure and education she received since she was a child have given Laura enough ability to withstand stress and she is mentally prepared for various emergencies she encounters during her adventures.
Coupled with the fact that Lu Qi, an experienced person, was beside her to solve the problem, Laura quickly passed through the negative emotional period of fear of murder and guilt, and her psychological quality suddenly became much stronger.
The two were sitting by the campfire to rest. Laura looked at Lu Qi and said sincerely:
"Thank you, Lu Qi, I feel much better..."
Hearing this, Lu Qi was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and smiled at Laura, "No problem, you saved my life..."
...
After cleaning the battlefield and gathering all the weapons, Lu Qi and Laura finally waited for Reyes and others who arrived belatedly.
In addition to Reyes and the others, Mr. Green, the helmsman of the Endurance, also met up with several others on the way.
In addition to Samantha who was captured and Ross who was alone outside, the survivor team has grown to seven people.
At first, Reyes and others thought they had come to the wrong place when they saw the corpses all over the ground.
It wasn't until Lu Qi and Laura took turns to explain that they understood the whole story.
What surprised them was not that the island under their feet was part of the Yamatai Kingdom, but that Lu Qi, who was usually gentle and friendly, actually single-handedly killed more than a dozen cultists without any injuries!
Unknowingly, everyone looked at Lu Qi with a little more awe.
While others were concerned about whether Lu Qi and Laura were injured, Whitman was more concerned about the good news that they had found Yamatai.
Pulling open the clothes of a Solari warrior corpse and seeing the sun logo painted on its chest, Whitman stood up very excitedly and looked at Laura with a flushed face:
"Laura, you are right! Yamatai is really within the Dragon Triangle, and we are standing on the land of the Lost Kingdom at this moment!"
"And those crazy cultists, all followers of Sun Queen Himiko... Oh, there is no doubt that we will bring back some wonderful stories!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Laura interrupted Whitman's excited speech with a cold comment:
"Doctor, the premise is that we must go back alive..."
Reyes, who was on the side, was also very dissatisfied with Whitman's lack of vision: "Whitman, now is not the time for archaeology! We have to quickly join Ross and go rescue Samantha!"
After being glared at by everyone, Whitman finally reacted, raised his glasses in embarrassment, and closed his mouth knowingly.
At this time, Lu Qi took the initiative at the right time and said:
"Everyone, look here!"
As he spoke, he took out the homemade map he had captured from the enemy, spread it out on the ground, pointed to the southwest of the map, the area marked "Coastal Forest", and said:
"According to the direction of the island, we are probably here."
Seeing that everyone was listening quietly, Lu Qi immediately moved his finger and clicked on the red star in the center of the map, "And this should be Solari's base camp. Samantha was probably taken there by Matthias!
"
"What are your plans?" Reyes asked.
"I think that instead of acting together and being wiped out by the enemy, it is better to act separately, which is more convenient."
"In this way, you continue to walk along the main road, and go to the mountain village first to meet up with Ross; and I will start from this small road and go directly to the base camp to rescue Samantha. My target is relatively small, and it is not easy for the enemy to defeat me.
Found that, moreover, I can protect myself..."
After saying that, Lu Qi stood up, glanced at everyone's faces, and asked;
"What do you think?"
While everyone was thinking, the first person to express their stance was Laura, who was worried about Samantha's safety.
She took half a step forward and looked at Lu Qi with a determined expression:
"Samantha was caught, and I am also responsible. I shouldn't trust Matthias so easily. Besides, it's too dangerous for you to go alone. It would be better to have a helper to cover you."
Seeing the determination in Laura's eyes, Lu Qi opened his mouth, and the persuasion on his lips turned into:
"Okay, I just need a helper!"
After that, Lu Qi walked aside, picked up a somewhat broken AK from the pile of weapons seized from the enemy, and threw it to Alex who was nearby.
"Do you know how to use these?"
Hearing this, the guy with glasses smiled helplessly, "Uh... do you think I, a hacker who types on keyboards, can use these?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Ge Lin picked up a 100-type submachine gun, pulled the bolt of the gun, and made a "click" sound, attracting everyone's attention.
Facing everyone's gaze, the old helmsman raised his chin slightly and said with arrogance:
Chapter completed!
