Chapter 277 The existence of ghosts
The bunker base in front of the tower covers a large area and is divided into two parts, the front and rear.
Moreover, after Solari's long-term repair and processing, there is only one road available for passage.
After reaching the second floor and sliding along the rope to another building, Lu Qi and Laura fell into a pool of turbid sewage.
Fortunately, the water was not too deep, reaching Laura's waist.
In addition, before entering the water, the two of them shrank their bodies as much as possible so that they did not make too much noise and attract the enemy's attention.
As soon as they walked out of the foul-smelling sewage, they heard the guards talking from above:
"How many people came ashore in this shipwreck?"
"About a dozen...and some women. Holy Father Matthias himself captured one."
"For sacrifice?"
"Probably, we'll find out tonight..."
Hearing this, the two couldn't help but look at each other.
From the conversation between the guards, the two men keenly captured two very important pieces of information.
Obviously, the "woman" the guard mentioned as being captured must be Samantha.
Matthias's purpose in capturing Samantha was for some kind of "sacrifice ceremony."
And the time for the sacrificial ceremony is tonight!
Looking down at his watch, Lu Qi realized that the time had already reached half past eight in the morning.
In other words, before those fanatics sacrifice Samantha, they still have ten hours to save her!
In more than ten hours, we need to cross mountains and ridges, pass through areas full of enemy guards, arrive at the Solari base camp, and then rescue Samantha from a lot of enemies...
I have to say, time is very tight.
However, Lu Qi could tell from Laura's eyes that no matter the difficulties ahead, she would not give up!
Likewise, neither will he.
In addition to being Laura's best friend, Samantha is also his good friend.
The two of them walked lightly, walked up the stairs, and approached slowly towards the direction of the conversation.
However, before going very far, they came to a dead end.
The only iron door is locked tightly. Once you try to pry it, the enemy will be alerted.
Their only choice was a hole filled with marsh gas under the wall on the left.
They pried the switch of the biogas pipe on the side to turn off the biogas. After the biogas in the cave entrance dissipated, the two of them got through the cave entrance and came to another room.
At this time, the guards' chatter sounded again:
"After so many years, a lot of women have been sacrificed. What is the use of this kind of ceremony..."
"Shh! Don't let others hear you say this. If you let Holy Father Matthias know, you will be thrown into the dungeon and become one of those monsters that never see the light of day..."
Perhaps because he had made up the picture in his mind, the other guard suddenly became frightened and hummed in a low voice:
"I know, I'm just complaining..."
Leaning half out of the door, Lu Qi saw two guards at the end of the corridor moving a red fuel barrel.
"The left is yours, the right is mine."
After confirming the attack target, the two of them walked out of the room without any hesitation and launched attacks at the same time!
With two "whoosh" sounds, the enemy fell down.
Without even looking at the body on the ground, the two of them bent over and walked up the stairs at the end of the corridor.
Compared with the previous bunker, this bunker gives people a more eerie feeling.
Although the inside of the bunker was electrified, the light tubes on the ceiling were of no use other than crackling and emitting electric stars.
A closed and dark environment can easily make people feel uncomfortable.
Especially the graffiti written in Japanese or English on the wall. All the words represent only one meaning, and that is:
"no one leave(No one can leave)!"
Looking at these graffiti, doubts came to Laura's mind again:
"What the hell happened here?"
...
While looking for accessible roads, Laura and Lu Qi also searched everywhere for any useful information or items.
Laura wanted to learn more about what happened on this mysterious island; while Lu Qi wanted to go more simply, just to find some valuable antiques.
However, in this abandoned bunker that has changed owners several times, even if there are valuable antiques, others have already taken advantage of them.
Compared to Lu Qi who found nothing, Laura found a few yellowed torn pieces of paper on a skeleton wearing a neon military uniform.
On the paper, there are paragraphs written in Japanese. Although the text is blurry, it can still be distinguished.
Based on the contents recorded on the papers, Laura quickly deduced that these papers were part of the diary of a certain neon soldier stationed on the island during World War II.
There is only one thing mentioned in the diary: when the Neon Army was stationed on the island, strange things often happened where the soldiers on duty disappeared inexplicably.
The owner of the diary believed that this was not an accident, but the work of the "ghost" who was following them!
Those "ghosts" live near the ancient palace in the center of the island, waiting for opportunities...
The content on a few pieces of paper ended abruptly here.
However, just from reading the words in the diary, Laura can also feel the deep fear of these "ghosts" in the heart of the soldier who wrote these words at that time.
Putting the yellowed paper away carefully, Laura couldn't help but look at Lu Qi beside her and said:
"As far as I know, the Neon people regard ghosts as beings similar to demons. Some of them are extremely powerful, and some suck human blood. If the content in the diary is true, then why does Solari dare to occupy the entire world?
An island and massacre the victims? This doesn’t make sense at all!”
Compared with Laura who was full of doubts and confusion, Lu Qi, who had passed the game, already knew what these so-called "ghosts" were.
After Sun Queen Himihu failed to be crowned and fell into a state of half-death, her storm warriors became Himihu's guardians.
Any existence that comes close to Himihu's Tomb will be destroyed by the Storm Warrior!
In order to remind Laura to a certain extent, Lu Qi made a solemn expression and said in a deep voice:
"I don't know, maybe they are innocent, or maybe ghosts are just a figment of human imagination when they fall into madness."
"However, one thing I can be sure of is that there are too many unknown things on this island, and we must be careful. Whether it is true or false, we must be mentally prepared to encounter ghosts..."
Laura agreed very much with Lu Qi's opinion and couldn't help but nodded:
"You are right, we do have to be careful..."
After a pause, Laura suddenly became excited as if she thought of something:
"However, the greatest joy of adventure is that we will explore it ourselves and uncover all the unknown true features with our own hands!"
Looking at Laura, who had bright eyes and looked as if she had been injected with chicken blood, Lu Qi was stunned for a moment, twitched the corner of his mouth, and stopped talking.
He actually wanted to tell Laura: If possible, I hope not to meet these "ghosts".
However, in order not to dampen Laura’s momentum, the discouraging words that were about to come out of her mouth turned into cheers:
Chapter completed!
