After the three people reunited outside the labor camp, they immediately set off and returned to the village.

However, after discussion, the three of them did not plan to return the same way, but found another way.

Jacob, who is more familiar with this land, said that if he had to walk along the road, it would take him half a day to return to the village. It would be faster if he walked through an old copper mine dug by the former Soviet Union.

Facing Jacob, who was already eager to return home, Lu Qi and Laura did not object and readily accepted the decision to take a shortcut.

The location of the village is roughly on the other side of the mountain, and the location of the copper mine is between the mountains. Therefore, the three of them need to walk from a high place.

Fortunately, with Jacob leading the way, the three of them did not get lost in this vast white snow...

...

Under the reflection of the stars, the three of them walked and stopped, slowly entering the mountains.

At about three o'clock in the morning, that is, the third hour after leaving the labor camp, the three of them finally came to the vicinity of the mine.

After climbing over a mountain wall, the three of them stood on a hillside, overlooking a group of buildings in front of them.

Under the starry night, the moonlight illuminates the entire building complex, creating an extremely peaceful scene.

However, in the dark sawmill, there was a faint light flickering from time to time, which showed that they were not alone here.

Pointing to the heights of the building complex,

"Go through the sawmill in front and climb to the highest point, which is the entrance to the mine..."

"It seems that Holy Trinity has sent people to garrison here, probably to protect the road between the labor camp and the copper mine."

Hearing this, Lu Qi pulled out the silenced Glock 18, replaced it with a new magazine, and said calmly:

"Don't worry, just leave it to me to handle it later..."

Lu Qi always does what he says.

After taking Laura and Jacob, he sneaked into the sawmill and found a Holy Trinity squad on patrol. Without saying a word, he went straight up!

It was only then that Jacob truly saw how terrifying Lu Qi's fighting power was.

In less than three minutes, Lu Qi wiped out the two Holy Trinity teams stationed in the sawmill!

And the method he adopted made Jacob, who had lived for nearly a thousand years and had seen countless big scenes, feel a little bit frightened.

Like the god of death who came and went without a trace, Lu Qi raised his hand, and with a few inaudible gunshots, the entire Holy Trinity squad fell down.

The soldiers of Holy Trinity did not know who killed them until the moment they died.

With such ghostly skills, it is no wonder that Lu Qi was so confident just now, going out alone to distract the enemy and buy them time.

Fortunately, he is an ally of himself and his tribe, otherwise...

Jacob didn't dare to think about it, he just took a deep look at the tall and strong figure, and couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed...

...

As an enemy, Lu Qi is very scary, like a cold and merciless machine. But as an ally, he is the most reliable existence.

After killing all the enemies in the sawmill, the three began to climb up and headed towards the entrance of the mine high up in the building.

On the way, out of archaeological instinct, Laura found an excavation log left by the former Soviet Union in a room.

From the logs, they learned a very important piece of information, that is, when the former Soviet Union was mining, they discovered that there was actually a group of ancient buildings under the mountain!

Seeing this, Laura couldn’t help but exclaimed

"The Lost City! Is it in the copper mine?!"

Facing the searching gazes of Laura and Lu Qi, Jacob nodded:

"That's right, it's part of the Lost City inside..."

Before Jacob could finish speaking, Laura continued to ask impatiently:

"The sacred source?"

Shaking his head, Jacob denied: "It's a pity that it's not in here..."

Hearing this answer, Laura showed a look of disappointment on her face, but she quickly cheered up:

"Yes, if it were so easy to find the source of the sacred, let alone the Holy Trinity, the Soviets would have found it long ago..."

While talking, the three of them successfully arrived at the entrance of the mine.

Looking at the pitch-black cave entrance, which was as gloomy as the huge mouth of an ancient beast, Jacob turned back to the two newcomers and said:

"There should be more intruders here..."

Before he finished speaking, Jacob looked at Lu Qi, who looked indifferent, and couldn't help but feel a strong sense of security in his heart.

"Of course, that won't be a problem, will it?"

Meeting Jacob's meaningful eyes, Lu Qi couldn't help but smile softly and said domineeringly:

"What I'm best at is solving problems..."

...

Before entering the mine, Lu Qi took out a signal stick from his backpack, then pulled it out suddenly, and with a "zhis" sound, a strong red light began to emit.

Passing it to Jacob who was leading the way, Lu Qi and Laura each took out a flashlight as auxiliary lighting.

For a moment, the entire entrance to the mine was as bright as day.

Along the passage built with wooden planks, the three of them walked forward. Jacob, who was walking in front, did not forget to introduce the two of them:

"This passage will take us through the mountains. Before the Soviets came here to dig, my people used this road."

"What else did they find besides ancient buildings?"

"It was definitely something they were interested in... They used explosives and machinery to dig down and cause a lot of damage."

"Many ancient passages have collapsed, but they are safe now..."

Before he finished speaking, the entire passage shook slightly, and some sand and gravel fell from the ceiling.

Seeing this, Jacob added before Lu Qi and Laura could complain:

"Or... it was safe once."

From the front of the passage, there was some noise and the sound of machines running.

"That doesn't sound good..."

"Holy Trinity must have discovered those old excavation machines, and they plan to continue the unfinished work of the Soviets."

At this time, Lu Qi had already taken out his pistol and held it crosswise, forming a standard triangular carabiner style. At the same time, he also changed positions with Jacob and walked at the front.

As soon as they passed through a gap in the iron gate, the three of them heard a conversation coming from the front of the passage:

"Is there any problem? We are behind schedule. Constantine will definitely be very unhappy if he finds out."

"Wait a minute, the lines here are corroded, let me see if I can go around it..."

Hearing this, Laura couldn’t help but frown and said softly:

"They're going to destroy the whole place..."

At this moment, the mine tunnel shook violently, and the wooden slats above it seemed that they could no longer withstand the weight of the rock, and broke instantly with a "pop" sound!

The entire passage collapsed instantly!

Lu Qi, who was the first to notice this situation, suddenly grabbed Laura’s hand next to him and shouted loudly:
Chapter completed!
