Behind the door was the same disgusting underground waterway-like passage that had come in before.

However, Laura, who had already been mentally prepared, didn't say anything this time, and took the initiative to lead the way in front of her.

There is no danger in the underground waterway, except for making people feel a sense of psychological discomfort, but groping in the dark, even if there is a torch, the vision is very limited, and the consumption of the human spirit is indeed relatively large.

Coupled with the fact that this journey was several times longer than the previous one, Laura only felt that her willingness to talk was quickly exhausted.

It wasn't until I finally reached the end that I finally found that it was an upward passage again, and there was also a trapdoor on it.

The two of them climbed up the stairs, and soon reached the top, where they found that the entrance was built into the mountain, like a minehole, and the interior space was supported by logs as pillars on all sides.

And continued to walk along the front, after walking more than ten meters, a corner, the mountain forest under the moonlight reappeared in front of Mo Chen and Laura.

Ahead of them was a mountain path, the real road, which looked old and old, but the stone steps were clearly manicured. Even after countless years of wind and rain, it has been destroyed to the point that many places are blurred.

However, the traces can still be seen, and with the mountain roads on both sides, there must be an artificial mountain road leading to somewhere on the mountain.

Even on the mountainside not far away, you can see the faint light of the fire, or it is normal for someone to maintain this area here-

After all, there is an underground slaughterhouse in the back, and the amount of meat doesn't look like a few people eat it, and if there are a few people, it can't be so efficient, there must be a small group to maintain the operation of this part.

It's just that Mo Chen, who is already experienced and has the advantage of foresight, on such a nervous island, even Laura is fine, after the previous events, he naturally knows that there is no such thing as law and order on the island.

She'd seen two human corpses, and the reason why she was still alive was just a little luckier than those two.

Laura looked around warily, then looked at her companion and asked for advice.

Although the other party claimed to be a freelancer and was purely a tourist who encountered a storm while sailing, she vaguely felt that what the other party said might not be right, or that it was not so simple.

It's just that looking at Mo Chen's white and clean appearance, Laura, who is a rookie herself, has no way to rely on pure intuition to determine anything, and it is even more impossible to have any strange associations because of this.

However, it is undeniable that her intuition is really excellent, and subconsciously she already feels that Mo Chen is some special senior professional.

Yes, high-level professionals, such as killers, assassins, secret agents, gold medal fighters, double-spat big red sticks...... Ahem, anyway, it's the kind of special group of people who specifically eradicate dissent for the upper class of various countries.

Either way, at least it's not those crazy islanders, after all, Ross also served in the Royal Marine Commando Brigade! In this place, at this time, this kind of professional is even more convincing.

"Be careful, don't make a sound, there's a sound up there...... There should be someone. Mo Chen thought about it and gave such a suggestion.

"Someone's up there?" Laura was stunned, then subconsciously held her breath.

They slowed down their steps and walked cautiously up the road, until they walked a few dozen meters later, and Laura, who had pricked up her ears, faintly heard a familiar female voice coming from in front of her, very slightly:

"Wait, I'll look it up."

How good is this guy's hearing...... Such a thought came to Laura's mind strangely, but she didn't ask it, but instead poured all her attention into listening to the voice in front of her.

Because she recognized the owner of this voice, it was her lost teammate and best friend, Shanmantha.

Why is she here? Who is she talking to? Is it the other crew members of the Perseverance who have been separated, and if it were anyone else, would she be in danger?

Many thoughts and thoughts flowed through her heart, and in the flash of light, Laura thought of many things, so she just opened her mouth, and did not immediately cry out with excitement.

"We're in the southwest, they need to follow the road, they need to climb a little uphill......," a man's voice came from the same front, as if in response to what Samantha had just said she was looking up something.

"I'll just find out if I ask on the radio...... Reyes, did you get it? ”

Sanmantha's voice came again, as if she had said something to the man, and then began to radio with her companion.

"Well, okay, we've got a fire here, you can just follow the direction of the smoke."

Seeing the firelight in front of her getting closer and closer, and her best friend's voice becoming clearer and clearer, Laura took a deep breath, then quickened her pace and walked ahead, carefully looking at the gap in the mountain wall-

There was a flat camp, surrounded by wooden chests and heavy old workbenches, as if left over from the past. There was a campfire in the center, and two people were talking in a whisper around the campfire.

"Sanmantha."

Laura felt relieved at once, and she stepped out of her hiding place and screamed softly.

The short-haired black girl in a leather coat raised her head instantly, and then showed an undisguised look of surprise: "Laura! Oh! Thank goodness you did! ”

At this time, the man sitting next to him with somewhat thinning hair and obviously older age also stood up on crutches.

"Hmm......" Laura subconsciously turned to the side, looking at the stranger with some vigilance.

"Sorry to scare you......" The man laughed, but it may be because of his own appearance, his expression still looks a little fierce and scary, "This place makes people a little nervous......"

"Don't worry, he's his own." Sanmantha said something helpful, and then she looked at the young man who walked out behind her good sister with some curiosity.

"We've just spoken to your crew, and they're coming." The old man said with a smile, looking at Mo Chen who came out behind without a trace.

Immediately after, it was definitely not an illusion, Mo Chen keenly captured the trace of disdain and relaxation that crossed the depths of his eyes.

This guy was smiling on the surface, pretending to be very friendly, but in fact, he didn't know what kind of mentality he had, and he was secretly looking at the threat that the new two might pose to him.

And after getting a "reliable conclusion", this old man put his mind at ease, what trouble can such two young people who are not familiar with the world cause to themselves?

Of course, he didn't show it, and he still looked kind on the surface.

"That's right, Laura, you see, he also helped me bandage my injured leg." Sanmantha nodded repeatedly, and then she bent down and pointed to her leg, apparently she didn't get up to greet her friend in the first place, because of her injury.

"I'm just doing what I can...... Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Matthias and I'm a teacher......"

The old man switched his crutches to his other hand, and then stretched out his right hand: "But I'm afraid I'm not very good at surviving on a desert island." ”

His sudden movement startled Laura, who leaned back slightly, looked warily at his outstretched right hand, and did not respond for several seconds.

It seems that Laura is hesitating to respond to the other party, shake hands or something. She always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the old man in front of her, and there was a feeling of rejection in her subconscious.

It's just that when she hesitated-

"Mo Chen, freelancer, nice to meet you." Someone smiled and inserted it in the middle, reached out and naturally grabbed Matthias's palm, shaking it up and down vigorously.

Matthias was stunned for a moment, then laughed too, his eyes showing kindness.

Laura inexplicably felt relieved, and at this time, Shanmantha next to her also greeted her with a smile: "Honey, you look tired, sit down and rest!" ”

"Good ......"

"Sanmantha just told me the story of the Sun Queen." Matthias sat back in his original position with some difficulty on crutches, "Can you tell me more, I'm interested." ”

"Well, it's Himiko." Laura sat down next to the campfire and replied casually.

"There's really no definite statement about this, believe it or not, thousands of years ago, Himiko ruled almost the entire Eleventh District." Shanmantha took over and said, "The 'Yamatai Kingdom' is also unanimously recognized by the international authoritative academic community as the origin of District 11. ”

Laura smiled helplessly, turned her head and whispered to Mo Chen, who was sitting down next to her, "She loves to tell this story the most." ”

"Himiko is an enigmatic beauty, but she is also brutal and ruthless, and does whatever she wants." Sanmantha didn't care about the "betrayal" of her good friends, but just talked about her opinions with great interest. "She's said to be a shaman."

"yes, I really don't understand that......" Laura sighed and stretched out her palm to roast the fire.

"Well, legends always have some basis...... "Mayatis said with a helping voice next to him, but on the subject, his smile seemed a little forced.

"She controls a powerful group of samurai, known as the legendary Storm Guardians, who are said to be able to ride the wind and slaughter all enemies to the ground."

Sanmantha nodded again and again, and continued, "They say that Himiko can control the sun, and wherever the sun shines, it is her territory, from the mountains to the sea, to the ends of the earth......"

"Then she ...... What's going on? Matthias asked, as if interested.

Mo Chen didn't speak, he played the role of a listener very well.

After a while, he turned his head to look at the girl next to him, because this time she didn't complain about her good friend anymore, and dismantled the other party's platform-

Maybe it was because I hadn't rested well before, maybe it was because I saw my first companion and heard from others, and my nerves that had been tense suddenly relaxed.

Now Laura began to hug her knees, and her head shook up and down with each stroke.

It seems that it is only a matter of time before she falls asleep completely.

Mo Chen didn't say anything about this, just quietly waited for Matthias to show his fox tail, he was waiting for that opportunity.

He hopes to solve the problem this time with the help of Laura's sister's "protagonist aura", but he is also thinking about whether he can directly do it himself, and if he can solve the problem directly......

So why wait for the girl to do it?

Therefore, Mo Chen has followed Laura's actions until now, maintaining the disguise of an ordinary person, just for Matthias. He hopes to use the other party to find the place where the real body of the Sun Queen is located as soon as possible.

When the other party showed the fox's tail, he was also preparing to use the other party in turn.

If all goes well, he will be able to solve all the problems without even exposing his extraordinary powers in front of Laura and the others...... If all goes well.
