283. [Tomb Raider 9] Shipwreck
【(( 1~
The Endurance began to make its way towards the Dragon Triangle. The weather gradually deteriorated, and it was stormy all the way.
In the middle of the night, everyone stayed in their cabins, except for Greene who was on duty in the wheelhouse.
Laura was sitting on the bed and swiping her phone.
Suddenly, she heard a knock on the door.
"Who?"
"It's me, Nanxiao."
Laura looked at the clock at the bedside, it was past 2 o'clock in the evening.
It's so late......
She hesitated slightly, but still opened the door: "Is there something wrong?" ”
"I heard that you are a famous archaeologist," Nan Xiao said, "there is something I would like you to identify." It may not seem like much of a valuable thing, but it may be very memorable. ”
"My father is an archaeologist, and I don't know a tenth of what he knows," Laura asked, modestly and curiously, "what is it?" ”
Nan Xiao took out the arrow and showed it to Laura.
The pitch-black arrow snatched from Tobiggard's hand was very inconspicuous on the surface, but it was a space-time landmark that traveled to the Tomb Raider. Nan Xiao believed that this thing must have some kind of meaning in the Tomb Raider World. Just like the heirloom jade seal is the proof of the hegemon of the world of great navigation.
Laura looked at the arrowhead and thoughtfully: "This should be an arrow made of modern craftsmanship, and it doesn't look like an antiquity." But it looks very intimate and has a unique charm, which is different from the arrows that are made in large quantities. Well...... It's weird. ”
She pinched the arrow, and was about to take a closer look under the light.
At this moment, the boat suddenly shook violently!
The floor is instantly tilted to 45 degrees. Laura was caught off guard, her feet slipped, and she fell into Nan Xiao's arms with a scream.
"You don't matter, do you?" Nan Xiao held her, "There are hard things everywhere on the boat, don't touch your head." ”
"What happened?"
"It's a huge wave," Nan Xiao pointed into the distance, "Look, it's so high." ”
Laura looked up and saw that her face was completely pale. Not far away, a mountain-high wave is crashing. Mad Dog Wave! Giant waves that occasionally appear mysteriously at sea. The highest mad dog wave can be hundreds of meters high, and no matter how strong your boat is, it can't bear a wave down.
"It's not good, what should I do?" Laura looked left and right, and immediately decided, "We need to hurry to the deck so that the cabin will not be flooded." ”
As a child of the plane, he immediately found the right answer.
The mad dog wave came, and the Perseverance was lifted high and flew all the way to the top of the wave. There is no water down there, and it is equivalent to riding on the waves. However, this little water could not support the weight of the ship at all. With a snap, the dragon broke bones.
The second half of the boat is relatively short, and it rises up all at once. The walls of the ship were torn open, and the lower half was submerged in the water, and the sea water rushed in.
There were less than twenty steps from Laura's cabin to the staircase that led to the deck. Usually, this little distance is done in the blink of an eye. However, it was very difficult to walk at this time. There's no way, against the crazy influx of seawater, ordinary people are already very powerful if they are not washed away, and they still want to swim against the current and walk forward?
Laura must be rescued here. If she is not rescued, there is a high chance that she will fall into the water and drown
Or they finally swam to the island and were beaten to death by someone with a stick in the back of the head.
Or they were hung upside down in an underground chamber and could not get out, and eventually starved to death.
Or try to get out of the trap only to be pierced in the heart by the steel bars on the ground.
Or they were grabbed by the feet of the madman who suddenly appeared but were unable to break free, and were finally dragged away as a sacrifice.
In short, there are too many ways for Laura to die. There are countless branches in front of her, but there is only one way to survive. She must be chosen every time and make the best choice every time in order for her to reach the finish line, activate her talents, and become a true half-human and demigod Superwoman.
Nan Xiao didn't plan to let rookie Laura face such a difficult scene immediately. In the game, you can save and take files, and you can come back when you die. In reality, Laura doesn't have so many lives, and she hangs up if she fails in that link.
A living Laura has research value, and a dead one has no value.
Laura must be given a workout to make her progressively stronger, not pushed into a fire pit.
"Don't panic, hold my hand."
Nan Xiao grabbed Laura's hand, protected her behind her, and led her towards the hatch.
The turbulent water could not stop him in the slightest. They grabbed the handrail on the bulkhead and climbed up, smashed open the hatch that had been crushed by the current, and went up to the deck.
By this time the ship had broken in half. The first half is still floating, and the second half is about to sink. The hull of steel is as fragile as a leaf in the face of nature.
Rose was in the front half of the boat, stretched out his hand at Law, and shouted, "Jump over!" ”
"Let's jump," Nan Xiao encouraged her, "It's okay." ”
So Laura jumped up and jumped to the opposite side. For a brief moment, she grabbed Rose's hand. However, the hand was so slippery that it slipped out of Rose's hand.
At this moment, another hand stretched out next to him. Syllable! Hold Laura tightly.
"Nanxiao?" Laura was surprised.
Rose was also surprised and looked at Nan Xiao: "Wasn't you still on the other side just now?" ”
"I just jumped here," Nan Xiao pulled Laura up and said, "Maybe you didn't notice." ”
Rose scratched his head, puzzled.
The number of people inspected, very lucky, there is no less.
Ross had palpitations, and said to Nan Xiao very happily: "Fortunately, you taught everyone to play cards, what is that called...... Everyone quickly became addicted to the game of fighting the landlord. If everyone hadn't gathered in the bow recreation room to play cards all night, someone would have died. ”
"Luck, luck," Nan Xiao said modestly, "We are not out of danger yet." Sooner or later, this half ship will have to go ashore in a hurry. ”
He pointed to a mysterious island in the distance, which was pitch black. As far as the eye can see, there seems to be a faint flickering light in the darkness.
"Is there anyone on the island?" Ross looked confused.
"Maybe," Nan Xiao was noncommittal, "You see, there are so many shipwrecked ships on the shore, maybe someone survived, maybe it doesn't matter." ”
At this time, the half-cut boat was swept closer by the waves. As Nan Xiao said, the shore is full of shipwrecked ships. There are many ancient wooden boats, both Chinese and Western. There are also a lot of modern iron-hulled boats, and even a few speedboats that look very modern. Without exception, they were all fragmented and twisted.
"We must act collectively," Nan Xiao advised, "and we must not be separated." ”
Anyone else counts, photographer Sanmantha must not die. She is the soul vessel of Queen Himiko. If she dies, you will not be able to study the mysterious powers of Queen Himiko.
The waves constantly crash against the hull of the boat, pushing the boat towards the shore. It's pretty good, and it seems safe to land
However, it is definitely not that simple. In the next second, the boat that seemed to be able to hold up capsized and overturned, and a fierce man plunged into the water.
