351. Shadow of the Tomb Raider Rises deep into the valley
『【(( 1~
If it weren't for Nan Xiao, maybe Laura would have given up the expedition and would have taken care of the Crawford family business in London. In the future, she will get married, have a child, and live in Crawford Manor with peace of mind. This is the path that the Holy Trinity has arranged for her. However, after all, she has the blood of the Crawford family in her blood, and she is full of adventurous spirit in her bones.
There is an iron door in the left corner of the screening room, which looks like the way out. When I went out, there was still a fierce shootout outside. The soldiers of the Holy Trinity were divided and surrounded by the Scythe Mecha, resisting desperately.
Ignoring these battles, Nan Xiao led everyone to continue tracking. It looks like Konstantin they fled north. According to Mao Yuyu's aerial reconnaissance, there is a train cargo transfer station over there, which is conveniently accessible.
I see, the helicopter is gone, so I want to escape by train?
Along the way, Constantine and Denigan's men set many traps. Some of them are quite vicious. For example, a puddle of water, which looks like nothing, is actually quietly plugged into a cable next to it, and there is high voltage on it. If you step on it stupidly, you will be so sure that you can't take care of yourself by electricity.
Fighting all the way to eliminate traps, they soon arrived at the truck transfer station.
However, Konstantin and Denigan were lucky to get a head start. They left some cannon fodder to guard the transfer station, and they had already run boundless.
Laura stomped her foot in frustration, looking very unwilling.
Nan Xiao handed her a cup of hot tea: "Authentic Darjeeling black tea, with sugar and milk, meets your taste." ”
Laura took it and took a sip, surprised: "This is a flavor that only exists in the East End of London!" I want to think about it...... It should be unique to the café on the corner of Belicia Street, why would you soak in it? ”
That's what I bought from that café. Nan Xiao pretended to be low-key: The portable space is eternally insulated, will I tell you casually?
Laura took a sip of black tea: "It's so fragrant, the taste reminds me of ...... when I was a child"
"Did you go to that café a lot when you were a kid?"
Laura nodded: "Mom was there when she first met Dad." As children, they would go at least one day a week. Later, Mom disappeared, and Dad never went again. But he still likes the black tea there and often learns to make it himself. ”
"I didn't expect Ling Zun to have this hobby."
Laura's face was sad: "He has a lot of good hobbies, but he gave them all up." I remember spending the last years before my father died, either in archaeology or in his study, studying the accounts of immortality. Of course, no one believed him. Including me. Our last conversation ended in an argument. He...... The last time I saw him, he was slumped at his desk, bleeding everywhere. I thought I was getting better and better, but ......"
"But you're still holding on to proving his dreams."
Laura raised her head and looked at Nan Xiao: "I once thought about giving up. Yamadai Island was my first adventure, and perhaps my last. But I saw what I thought was impossible, and I met you...... So everything has changed. I finally knew my father was right. There really is immortality in this world. He left this world alone, and no one believed him. As a daughter, I feel guilty. ”
Nan Xiao took the opportunity to hold her hand: "Life is like a cherry blossom with a speed of five centimeters per second, and the rain in the garden of leaves...... I will be with you from the beginning to the end. ”
Steam began to bubble from Laura's head, and her eyes puffed and starry: "The scene you depicted is so beautiful......"
At this time, a sickle mecha sent out to reconnoiter returned. It was a bit badly injured, with several holes in its stomach and walked crookedly. As soon as he walked near the command post, he fell to the ground with a "bang".
With a squeak, it opened the data interface and sent out a small memory chip. The poor little green eyes flickered at Nan Xiao a few times, and finally fell silent.
Nan Xiao took off the chip and plugged it into the computer. "It's going to do whatever it takes to get this chip back. Let's see what exactly was recorded. ”
Inside the chip is a video, recorded from the perspective of the sickle mecha. It was so jumpy that it made people dizzy, and Sophia threw up.
Nan Xiao insisted on seeing from the beginning to the end and found some important information. "Sophia," he froze one of the images, "come and see, is the man in this locomotive, the man in the coat, your father?" ”
Sophia made a careful look for a moment, her expression growing more and more surprised. "It's my dad, but how is he with the people who slaughtered us? That's impossible! ”
"We're going to quicken our pace," Nan Xiao said, "if I'm not mistaken, your father may have made some agreement with those Trinity. With him leading the way, finding Kit City will definitely be quick. ”
Sophia looked shocked: "This can't be! Why did Dad do that? Those Trinity guys killed so many of us......"
Politics can be compromised at any time, and everything can be used as bargaining chips. It is clear that Sophia does not understand this truth.
Next, everyone decided to go their separate ways. Nanxiao took Laura to continue the pursuit.
Descend the mountain along the railway, and lose track of the other party halfway through. Constantine, Denigan, and the Knights of the Cathar left by helicopter, and Jacob was apparently taken away.
What to do? Without direction, even if you fly, you can't find them.
Laura proposes to explore the ruins gradually. "There is a pattern to the ruins," she says, "and they come together to form a magnificent city." We can follow this pattern to find. I believe that the heart of Kit City is in the same place as the city is laid out. ”
There should be nothing wrong with listening to a professional. Nan Xiao agreed.
Passing through a cave inside the snow-capped mountains, they came to the middle of a canyon. Go left and follow the cliff path all the way, climbing the rock wall and crossing a stone bridge.
"Listen!" Nan Xiao said.
There was a heavy bell ringing in the wind, and there must be some important building ahead.
They continued on their way, climbing up a natural stone arch bridge to a stone platform. In front of the cliff, a stone wall was revealed, which had been submerged in the collapsed hillside. There's even an arch.
Laura scrutinized the columns and arches. "Byzantine-style temple." "There must be important people enshrined here," she said. ”
The two decided to go deeper into the temple.
Entering through the archway, they saw a heavy door. There are a few scrolls scattered on the left side. Most of it has been corroded into mud-like debris. A few fragments are still recognizable. One of them is an account of the first discovery of the valley.
“…… Most of you don't know how close our people were to death at that time. We are lost in the mountains, with no food and no hope. But the scout heard God's guidance. He climbed the cliff alone and found a valley where he could live. There is no snow or ice, the forests are luxuriant, and the game is abundant. We commemorate his heroic deeds and demonstrate the power of faith. ”
The history of that year is unearthed: the Prophet was hunted down by the Maria Adela and fled all the way, forcing him to flee into the Jedi frozen on all sides. Seeing that everyone was about to freeze to death, suddenly a scout was lucky enough to discover a habitable geothermal valley.
A rare oasis in the Land of Ice and Snow, with fertile land and vast forests to hunt in, it is simply a paradise.
