285. [Tomb Raider 9] Laura's first hunting

γ€οΌˆ( 1~

Laura soon finds a cave where she can shelter from the rain. To be precise, a piece recessed in the mountain wall. Someone has come here before and made a fire out of mud. She quickly gathered the dry branches and hay in the cave that had not been wet, and began to make a fire.

There was also the only match in the matchbox. It was lit and the dead branches in the fire were lit.

The fire burned. Laura leaned over to the fire, finally getting some warmth. She was still shaking, but not so much.

The little suspenders and jeans were soaked. She found a few dead branches, made a simple baking rack, and roasted her clothes over the fire.

Hey! Thisβ€”this is ......

In the night sky fifty meters above, Nan Xiao's eyes widened instantly: Element Detection!

The lazy Mao Yuyu also seemed to sense something, got up from Nan Xiao's head, and went out to look.

Nan Xiao pushed Mao Yuyu back: "Children are not allowed to look at it." ”

Mao Yuyu: "Hemp is bad." ”

The night passed, and the rain passed and the sky cleared.

Laura rolled over and muttered, "Roast venison, red wine, bread......"

Turning over again, she suddenly woke up, her stomach gurgling.

It is clear that this is being woken up by hunger.

After trying to see that it was no longer raining outside, she walked out of the cave and began to forage for food.

When you are unarmed, it is not so easy to forage for food. There were some deer in the woods, but they were running so fast that people couldn't catch up.

Helpless, Laura tries to find some tools. She searched and searched, and suddenly found a skeleton hanging upside down in the woods in front of her. The skeleton had a rudimentary vine bow and a pot of arrows.

The skeleton has probably been hanging upside down here for decades. He was wearing a tattered Japanese military uniform, and the parts below the knee were decayed, and it looked like a strip of rag, and only the waist still had some features of the uniform. Why was he killed? Still cruelly hung upside down here? There is no answer to this question.

Nan Xiao observed carefully. In the game, this is the first weapon that Lara gets. It was with this bow that the bloodbath of the entire island began.

There is indeed a deviation between reality and the game. The hunched back is not made of bamboo, but of long-fiber plants such as vines. The bowstring was a military hemp rope, very strong, and it was smeared with some preservatives that could have been tung oil. After all these years, there is still no sign of decay.

The craving for food immediately drove her into action. First climbed up an abandoned stone house covered in moss, and then cautiously walked over a sideways dead log, trying to get as close as possible to the skeleton. She grabbed the tip of the bow and tugged hard. The rope on which the skeleton was hung was pulled off, and the skeleton fell along with the bow.

Laura, who got the weapon, became much more active and began to forage for food. She quickly found a dilapidated camp. It looks like someone lived there, but it has been abandoned for decades. Maybe she's trying to find some tools to work on here. But all that was found was a few pages of the torn diary.

Laura read those diaries softly: "...... Again, it happened again, this time it was the soldier Kikunosuke. Last night it was his turn to be on duty at Yingkou. No one heard the sound. This morning they only found his helmet...... So much for. There was no sign of him leaving, no blood, no bullet casings, nothing! Some people say that this is a good thing done by the soldiers of the United States. Damn stupid! They don't even know that it's a ghost who tracks us. They live in an ancient royal palace on the top of a hill, cruel and evil. We trespassed into this place and were targeted by them...... The island is a terrible grave. Ghosts will come to the door one day, sooner or later. ”

She read it softly, carefully placing the fragments of her diary in her backpack. "It looks like a note from the Japanese during World War II," she said to herself, "why did they come here?" ”

After an afternoon of hunting, the result was a deer. At this time, Laura was not yet a skilled hunter. In order to hunt the deer, she fell many times, and her arms were scratched by branches and twisted wrists. The woods were very hot and humid, and some of the scratched areas were already a little inflamed. There are also hateful mosquitoes, which are red and swollen with a slap in one bite, and they are uncomfortable to look at.

It's not going to go on like this. The reality is completely different from the game.

What to do, I have to help her.

Nan Xiao thought about it, took out the wound medicine gourd obtained in the Great Navigation World, and quietly put it in Laura's camp.

It was dark, and Laura, who was tired, returned to the camp with a dead deer on her shoulders.

"Hey, how can there be a ...... here? Is this some kind of container for water? She looked in amazement at the sudden appearance of the wounded medicine gourd by the campfire.

Hungry and tired, she first set aside the gourd, turned on the bonfire and began to roast the deer.

The aroma of venison began to spread. She devoured it for a while before she began to study the wound medicine gourd. First, I pulled the plug and sniffed it...... Well~~

Laura looked intoxicated.

This is normal. The potion in the wound medicine gourd can cure anything, and it is an artifact full of blood.

She took a tentative sip. After this mouthful, I can't stop.

When she was surprised to find that the scratches on her arms had healed one by one, she solemnly tied the wound medicine gourd behind her waist like a treasure.

The walkie-talkie placed by the fire pit suddenly made a sizzling sound at this time.

A familiar, resolute voice rang out: "I am Conrad Ross, captain of the expedition salvage ship Perseverance. Our boat was shipwrecked on an island in the Dragon Triangle......"

Laura excitedly grabbed the walkie-talkie: "Rose! You're alive! ”

The other side was also excited: "Laura! ”

The two excitedly recounted what happened after the sea was washed away. Laura cried and told how she smashed a living person's head like a rotten watermelon, and apologized that it was her own fault that everyone was in trouble. Ross reassured her that a distress signal had been sent and that someone should have received it, and that she had already contacted the separated people. At the moment, others are moving closer to him.

"Laura, you've got to get closer to me, too." He finally demanded.

With Rose's encouragement, Laura decides to set off overnight and move closer to him.

She groped her way and moved in the general direction that Rose had pointed out. On an island with complex terrain, it's very tough. Sometimes it looks like it may be very close, but there is a bottomless chasm in between. Or a small cliff with no road at all, and it is very difficult to climb it.

She walked a lot, passing through some very old facilities in between. The facilities were built sturdily and looked like they were decades old, bearing the signs of the old Japanese army. The interior of the stone house is strangely furnished, with many skulls and some religious paintings.
