Nan Xiao and Joel exchanged glances, and sure enough, both of them had the same idea.

Even if this NPC is the famous Nathan Drake, it can't follow his wishes. If Drake isn't willing to help, at least make sure he doesn't hold back.

Joel shook his head resolutely, "I must get the sap of the Tree of Life. No one can stop me. ”

Nan Xiao also expressed his position in time: "I agree with Joel, what he means is what I mean." ”

Nathan stared at Nan Xiao and Joel in confusion: "Why?" It is likely that the Tree of Life has mutated. Now it is a tree of destruction. We have no choice but to wait for it to recover on its own. Continue to stimulate it, and the situation is likely to be more serious. Spore infections may continue to erupt and infect more people who are supposed to be immune. ”

"Huh." Joel sneered. It was obvious that he hated Nathan very much, and it was clearly written on his face.

Nathan looked serious: "For the sake of the survivors on Earth, not only can we not enter Shangri-La again, but we must stop Martinez from doing so." I implore you, for the sake of the rest of the survivors on Earth, to act with me. ”

"And what about my daughter Sarah?" Joel asked, "She's now relying on Wakanda's secret medicine to suppress the sporovirus." But no one knows if the effect of this medicine will gradually wane. Do you want me to watch her die and become a cauliflower-haired follower? ”

Nathan's expression became a little embarrassed. "I can understand your feelings," he said, "and I have a daughter named Cathy."

Joel interrupted him irritably: "Your daughter wasn't used as a guinea pig by a mad dr. and didn't be injected with a lethal amount of sporovirus!" Can you imagine that I once put a gun to Sarah's head with my own hands? I'd rather kill her than let those spores tear her face and turn her into a zombie who is not a human or a ghost! ”

"But even if you go to Shangri-La, it's probably useless, and it may make the spore outbreak worse."

"That's just your speculation."

"My speculation is well-founded."

"To hell with your speculation, I don't care if it's unfounded or not. All I know is that the sap of the Kabbalah Tree of Life is the last hope for Sarah's healing. I want the pustules to disappear from Sarah's body, I want her to live happily ever after, and for that I would rather die in seven levels of hell," Joel pulled out his pistol and pointed it at Nathan, "Whoever dares to stand in my way will regret it." ”

Almost at the same time, Elena also raised her gun and aimed it at Joel. "Put down the gun," she said aloud to Joel, "listen to Nate, he's an expert at this, you should trust him!" ”

There was nothing to hesitate about, Nan Xiao immediately raised his gun and aimed at Yelena and Nathan. "Put down your gun," he said, "and you can't stop it." ”

Nathan glared at Joel, "For the sake of your daughter, even if the world perishes, will you not hesitate?" Now people who are in better health are immune to infection. When the spore concentration rises again, it is possible that everyone on the earth will die! ”

Joel replied without hesitation: "Even if the world ends, I will save my daughter." ”

Several people stared at each other for a while, and in the end, Yelena couldn't bear it first. She hung her shoulders and threw the pistol on the ground: "Do whatever you want." Nate and I won't help, but we won't stop you either. ”

Nathan Drake still wants to make one last effort. "Without me and Yelena, you would never have found your way to Shangri-La." ”

What's this, Nan Xiao thought to himself, I have cleared the uncharted sea countless times, and the road is also very familiar.

At this time, it is useless to say more, no one can convince anyone. He nodded to Joel and put away his gun: "Let's go." ”

Along the way, Joel looked depressed.

"Don't worry," Nan Xiao reassured him, "The matter is still under control." ”

Joel was very angry: "We spent months in the Adriatic Sea to find this Nathan Drake! Gold is as precious as many months! We saved his wife, saved his daughter, and traveled thousands of kilometers to the other side of the world to save him. That's how he reciprocated us? Aha, 'Please give up your daughter and join us in killing her last hope of healing, for the sake of all, for the good of the planet!' This TM is definitely a white left! All the way with those Wall Street bastards who brought down the United States! ”

It suddenly remembered that Joel was a Texan, a genuine redneck, and must be a Republican. It's really understandable that I can't get used to Nathan Drake's Madonna pie. The contradiction between the red neck in the south and the white left in the north has a long history, and it has not been truly resolved since the Civil War.

There is nothing to say about saving the earth, but sacrificing other people's daughters to save the earth, and asking the father to take the initiative to sacrifice his own daughter, is indeed a bit unreasonable. Nan Xiao put himself in his shoes and felt that Joel's temper was really restrained. If it had been a few months ago, I'm afraid he would have killed Nathan with one shot without hesitation, and killed Elena by the way.

Actually, maybe they should really kill the couple. Nan Xiao vaguely felt that these two might make trouble.

Alas, my heart is still not hard enough.

He was secretly determined that if Nathan and Yelena really wanted to get in the way of his access to the elixir, he would not show mercy. Don't look at you as the protagonist of Uncharted, just kill it.

"What do we do now?" Joel asked, "The map is gone, too." ”

Martinez did a great job. After getting the map information from Shangri-La, he simply blew up the map. The main hall of the temple has been blown out of a large hole, and you can see that the basement is already very trough. Those exquisite mechanisms thousands of years ago, the accurate 3D stereoscopic map built with crystals, and the efforts of countless craftsmen for many years...... To destroy them, it only takes a few c4s.

Nan Xiao was calm: "Don't worry, we just need to keep up with that Martinez." ”

Joel perked up: "Do you know where he went?" ”

"Of course, have you forgotten that we Wakandans can peek into the spiritual secrets of time and space. In fact, I've noticed Martinez's movements and I'm tracking him. Come, let's go this way. ”

Joel had an admiring look on his face.

Nan Xiao led the way, and the two went straight to a train station near the small city. Like the plot in Uncharted 2, the quickest way to get to the snowy mountains is to take a train.

It was originally a railway built for climbers, but now that no one is in charge, Martinez has taken over with someone.

When Nan Xiao and Joel arrived, there were many people by the train, and they were busy.

Martinez is really generous, and it fits perfectly with the style of a "marquis". More than a dozen large trucks were carrying all kinds of goods, including food and ammunition supplies, construction machinery, four-wheel drive vehicles, and even a light helicopter. These are loaded on the train. It is estimated that when the loading is completed, it will leave immediately.

There were at least two hundred people in the car, all of whom looked very capable, carrying assault rifles. They even unified their military uniforms, wearing thick snow camouflage suits, as well as bulletproof vests.

The two searched the nearby upstairs for a while, and were lucky enough to find a steel cable that was presumably used for quick unloading. Under the cover of night, they slid down the steel cable and quietly entered the train station.
