"This is?!"

When Lu Qi saw Laura's surprised look of finding something, he knew he had done the right thing by returning the property to its original owner.

"I found it in the locker in the crew room..."

Putting the photo carefully into the inner pocket of her coat, taking a photo through her clothes, Laura then raised her head to look at Lu Qi and said softly:

"Thank you, Lu Qi, this is indeed very important to me."

"It's not a big deal, you're welcome."

Compared with Lu Qi's indifference, Laura suddenly looked solemn and said seriously:

"No, not just this time, but also many times before!"

Looking at Laura's pretty face, Lu Qi couldn't help but blink, and immediately understood the meaning of Laura's words.

It seems that Laura has kept in mind all the care he took for her along the way...

There are actually two reasons why Lu Qi has always stayed with Laura.

First, for the sake of his own [World Mission], he wanted to ensure that Laura would not lose her life because of the appearance of herself, a visitor from another world;

When playing games, if the player operates improperly, even the protagonist of the game will die. In a relatively realistic game world, this is not to mention.

If Laura died due to the butterfly effect caused by his appearance, then it would be very difficult to complete his [World Mission].

The second reason is that he has a good impression of Laura and hopes to use his own power to protect her and prevent her from being harmed.

Lu Qi, who has experienced several game worlds, certainly does not regard everyone in the game world as just a piece of game data or an insignificant NPC.

In his eyes, every game world is the real world he lives in. And in the real world, everyone he meets is real.

Therefore, he will also treat these people with emotions and attitudes that come from his heart.

Just like Laura, a beautiful girl who is new to the world, but kind, brave, responsible, and friendly to others, Lu Qi admires her very much, whether from the perspective of a man or a friend.

Besides, in times of crisis, protecting the women around you is what every man with a sense of responsibility should do.

Even if the person being protected is Lara Croft, the "Tomb Supergirl" who doesn't need to be protected at all...

...

According to the detailed location recorded in the logbook, the two quickly used the ice ax in their hands to climb along the rock wall to the research base outside the cliff tomb.

Although the research base built by the Neon Army has long been abandoned, after Solari repaired it and turned on the electricity, it basically functions the same as it did during World War II.

Hanging on the wall, a few scattered high-wattage construction lights pointed the way to the research base for the two of them...

In such a very important place, the two people who came all the way at night met Solari's guards.

"What on earth are we doing here?! There are scary ghosts in this ancient tomb!"

"Calm down, we have an order from the boss. He asked us to stay here and monitor the movements of outsiders. If those outsiders really come here, we will let them go in and meet the ghosts in the ancient tomb...

"

"Hehe, that's a good idea..."

As soon as he finished speaking, there were two "whoosh" sounds, and the two Solari who were talking in front of the main entrance of the research base were shot in the head by sharp arrows at the same time!

After confirming that there were no other enemies, Lu Qi came out of the bunker and came to the two corpses. While pulling out the arrow stuck in his head, he reminded Laura next to him:

"It seems that there are storm warriors guarding the ancient tombs... Laura, be careful..."

"Um."

When they came to the main entrance of the research base, they searched on both sides of the door for a while, but they could not find any similar switch.

"We can't get in here, we have to find another way..."

Hearing this, Laura looked around and looked up to see a half-remaining yellow fire escape on the edge of the balcony of the building above, right next to the mountain wall. Her eyes lit up and she suggested:

"There! We can climb up the ladder and enter the research base from above!"

"Very good, let's go then!"

Lu Qi, who traveled almost half of the island with Laura, was already accustomed to Laura's ability to find paths.

When she doesn't know which way to go, Laura can often use her keen intuition to choose the most appropriate direction and continue moving forward.

This intuition should be the unique skill that Lara possesses in the game - [Survival Instinct]

Compared with Lu Qi's [Eagle Vision], Laura's [Survival Instinct] can not only mark surrounding enemy units and useful items, but also allow her to see the surrounding environment at a glance.

This is why she never gets lost and always finds entrances, exits and hidden mechanisms that ordinary people can't find...

Under Laura's guidance, the two successfully passed through the abandoned coastal defense building and entered the research base through a crack in the wall.

Following the wires on the wall, the two men took out their weapons and began to move deeper into the research base.

During this period, after the assassination killed two patrolling Solari, the two were blocked by an electric lift door.

Fortunately, the electricity provided by Solari helped them.

There was a "click" and the green button on the console was pressed, and the lift door slowly opened.

What came into view was an elevator surrounded by iron nets, similar to an underground mine.

Seeing this, Laura looked at the structure of the elevator up and down, and then murmured:

"The ancient tomb must be on the lower floor..."

However, the way from the elevator to the lower level is blocked by an iron fence.

However, this is not a problem for Laura, the "little demolition expert".

Under Laura's guidance, after the two of them pried off the four reduction gears of the elevator one after another, the elevator suddenly fell from a height as expected, knocking the iron net away!

The two jumped down and arrived at the lowest level of the research base, where the general's tomb is located.

Following the only road, the two finally arrived at the general's tomb.

"This is?!"

The hollowed-out ancient tomb is huge enough to accommodate a large football field.

In the recesses of the stone walls on both sides, there are large stone statues of warriors, lifelike.

In the center of the ancient tomb, there is a stone staircase extending upwards, leading to a platform. On the platform, there seems to be a kneeling figure.

Just when the two of them were attracted by the majesty of the tomb, a sudden change occurred!

From the gaps in the stone walls on both sides, four storm warriors wearing red armor and holding tachi suddenly jumped out!

As soon as they came up, these storm warriors, armed to the teeth, shouted with hoarse voices:
Chapter completed!
