287. [Tomb Raider 9] Dr. Whitman

【(( 1~

Thirty years after landing on the island, Matthias is now obsessed with bringing Himiko back to life. He wrote in his diary with fascination: "...... I can hear her whispering in my sleep now. Sun Queen ...... She kept urging me, her graceful countenance shrouded in golden sunlight...... My brotherhood will work hard for the Queen, using the resources she brings to the island to build a base. Soon, we will find the woman who will be able to bring her back to life...... Like the rising sun, her light spreads across the earth and the sea. I will be reborn in this light, with a pure new life......"

Crazy, crazy.

The men sent out to hunt down Laura and the rest of the crew of the Stoic soon got in touch and caught a few.

As soon as I heard the name, it was all a trick, not a core member of the expedition team.

Nan Xiao was not interested in this, but he also told them not to kill people casually.

At this moment, suddenly there was a murmur on the intercom, and then the sound of a fight was heard. After a while, one of the men excitedly said, "Boss, we've caught the woman you talked about." You shouldn't be wrong looking at the photos, she's the Lara Crawford you're looking for! ”

"Very good, be careful to catch it alive, and never kill it."

The people sent out were very puzzled: in the past, the search for survivors of shipwrecks was to catch them if they could, and kill them if they couldn't. After being caught, they will be forcibly brainwashed, and those who refuse to obey will be killed...... How did the boss change sex today?

But they didn't dare ask. Anyone who questioned Matthias was dead, and they didn't want to be next.

After a while, the captor returned. Lara Crawford was arrested, with her hands tied behind her back, and she was miserably pushed away. Another arrested was Dr. Whitman. He nodded to Nan Xiao's pretended "Matthias": "Hello, you must be the owner of this island?" I think we can live together peacefully. ”

Nan Xiao glanced at Dr. Whitman: "Oh? Why? ”

Dr. Whitman rubbed his hands together with a flattering smile on his face, "You may not realize it, but this island actually hides a lot of secrets that you didn't expect!" The mysterious kingdom of Yamatai, and the wrecks of those ships...... The material is enough to make a great documentary. All the tragedies make this story even more exciting! This is a place that will surely plunge the world into wild imagination and we will all be the souls of a wonderful story! There will definitely be a lot of advertising sponsors who want to buy this story, which will bring you and me a considerable benefit, and you will be able to return to civilization with dignity! ”

Nan Xiao shook his head indifferently and ordered, "This person is useless, kill him." ”

Dr. Whitman was taken aback: "No! Listen to me, I'm the chief archaeologist, I have thirty years of archaeological experience, two PhDs, one of which is a specialization in East Asian history"

Poof, a man next to him stabbed him in the stomach. This man is a strong, bearded man, and speaks Russian English, and he is a small boss.

Poor Dr. Whitman, I can't say anything more now.

Others may not know, but Nan Xiao has Xiao P to help investigate, and he can say that he knows the bottom of this Dr. Whitman.

He studied at Harvard University, is an expert in archaeology and anthropology, received his Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom, and has taught at several universities around the world. In recent years, he has moved into television, where he has begun to produce feature documentaries and has become a public figure with best-selling publications. As a result, he became a controversial figure in the archaeological community. Some believe that he sparked interest in archaeology and increased exposure in the industry, but others believe that he "sold his soul on screen". Dr. Whitman's recent bad luck has been a blow to his reputation, and to add insult to injury, his recent divorce has been another blow to his reputation.

Xiao P has deciphered a private email in which he begs his wife not to divorce, which mentions that divorce will make him lose his prestige, and he is about to uncover the secret of Queen Yamatai and will make a lot of money soon. In the letter, he said: "I already have a clue! Laura, do you remember? The college student who is very obsessed with my show, my little follower...... Her perception is not as good as mine, and I am the protagonist of this great discovery. I'm going to be a celebrity in the media. If it does succeed this time, it will be an unprecedented discovery! ”

This is a greedy guy. Keeping him from dying will only be a bad thing, and maybe it will have a negative impact on Nan Xiao's plan.

Witnessing Dr. Whitman's murder, Laura was terrified and trembled.

Lucia, who had just killed Whitman, excitedly brandished a bloody dagger: "Boss, what about this woman?" ”

Laura, desperate, couldn't say a word, she probably thought she was going to die too.

"This woman can't be killed," Nan Xiao ordered, "send her and the others who have been caught up there and imprison her." ”

From here to the base above, it is about two or three hundred meters of slope.

According to Nan Xiao's instructions, Mao Yuyu has already set up multiple escape opportunities for Laura on the road, and it depends on whether she can grasp it.

If it was Laura who had grown up, she would probably be able to spot those opportunities easily, and maybe she could pretend to be a force before escaping. It's a pity that Laura is still a rookie now, and she doesn't observe her surroundings carefully.

A pistol in the grass, not in sight.

The arrow inserted in the wooden post on the side of the road, I saw it, I saw it, because I kept staring, but I was found by the escort. I didn't get it, I didn't say anything, and I was kicked hard.

Seeing that Laura missed one opportunity after another to get out, Nan Xiaozhen felt sorry for her.

But here comes the opportunity again. On the way to escort the captives, a riot broke out.

One of the crew members on the Stoic, perhaps a fan of Laura, desperately tries to save her, despite the fact that his hands are tied behind his back.

"Laura, run!" He shouted, slamming headlong into the man who was escorting them with a gun.

Bang! The pistol went off, and the crew cooled.

As soon as the shots rang out, the whole scene was chaotic, and the captured crew members scrambled to flee, and everyone was afraid that the next one would be shot.

Laura also took advantage of the chaos and ran away. However, she ran in the opposite direction and ran up the slope. That's where the people of the Brotherhood of the Sun camped, and there were a lot of people, wasn't that a self-defeating trap?

Halfway through the run, she suddenly bumped into Lucia, the little leader who had just killed Whitman, patrolling with a pistol, and she quickly hid in an abandoned log cabin on the side of the road.

This temporary base was converted from an abandoned mountain village. The wooden buildings of the Himiko era are very old, and many of them have decayed. Laura shivered and hid in the wooden house: you can't see me, you can't see me......
