Miss Crawford is in a very bad state now, and she is even bad, and she is only one step away from such a harsh outcome of death—

She was in the middle of a forest near a canyon, staggering along the edge towards the slum-like dilapidated town ahead, leaving a trail of blood in her wake.

She knew that the open wound in her lower abdomen was particularly serious and had to be treated immediately, otherwise she might really die here, and she was no joke.

The only place where the cure is most likely to be found is in the slum-like, dilapidated town ahead, from which you can see an abandoned helicopter with the most likely medicine......

The reason why Laura has fallen to such a point is because she has experienced too many thrilling unfolding in the past two days.

The first is that she thinks that it was because she sent out a distress signal that caused the entire search and rescue fleet to crash. Guilty, despite Rose's dissuasion, he went to rescue the pilot who had parachuted into a nearby area.

As for what Rose told her about sacrifice and loss, she hadn't been able to grasp it at all.

And what he didn't expect was that the distress signal sent by the pilot was simply a trap set by Matthias, and Laura, who was completely defenseless against it, almost splattered five steps of blood on the way to rescue the pilot, and died on the spot......

However, at that critical moment, some non-human creatures that looked like evil spirits rushed out from the edge of the ruins of that complex, clad in heavy armor, like ancient samurai clothes.

They slaughtered the thugs of Solari to the point of crying and screaming, and it was because of this that Laura escaped at the critical moment.

But she was also captured by those things at that time, and was almost used as a reserve ration.

After all, when Laura woke up again after a coma, she found herself tied up in a room filled with fresh, rotting and foul-smelling corpses of all kinds, with huge monsters patrolling outside.

That nightmarish scene can really scare people crazy.

She managed to cut holes in the walls and staggered down the tunnels to escape, encountering terrible winds along the way that howled and destroyed all the buildings.

However, it is precisely because of this that she stumbled into a hidden tomb, where she found the coffin of the first Sun Queen Himiko and the remains of the rumored historical figure.

The remains inside the coffin had been completely weathered, but at least they were not empty, indicating that the first generation of the Sun Queen was indeed dead, which made her even more sure that what Mo Chen had said before was unreasonable.

It's just that it was also what happened before, for example, it was clearly a thunderstorm against the search and rescue team, and those ancient warriors who seemed to be inhuman, but they were still vivid, so she didn't dare to make a rash conclusion for a while.

As for the frescoes around the tomb, they reveal some secrets about the ancient Sun Queen to Miss Crawford:

It is said that they choose an heir through a fire ceremony, and the heir to the inherited power will become a new generation of Sun Queen or something.

However, this only seems to indicate that this is a ceremony to choose the queen's heir, and that this is really the site of the ancient kingdom of Yamatai, and it cannot explain other problems.

And before she could find out more about the hidden secrets of the tomb, she was found by the enemy and fell into a scuffle, and then she was forced to flee because she alarmed the demons.

After finally escaping, Laura finally receives a communication from Sanmantha, who has been out of contact for a long time.

She said that she was eventually captured by Matthias's group of madmen and kidnapped to the Ancient Palace in the canyon, where the rest of the Stoic crew tried to rescue her, but were defeated by the Solari thugs and imprisoned as well.

Sanmantha said that she had stolen a guard's radio to get in touch with Laura briefly, and that she was terrified when she heard that the madmen were going to send her to the fire sacrifice.

Remembering the murals she had just seen in the secret tomb of the ancient Sun Queen, Laura was also frightened.

That group of crazy people are ready to burn their girlfriends to death with fire? Why did they do this, did they really think that those legends were true, and wanted Sanmantha to inherit the power of the Sun Queen?

Unable to sit idly by and watch such a frustration happen, and knowing that most of the rest of the crew of the Endurance were imprisoned in the ruins of the ancient palace in the canyon, Laura and Rose set off from both ends at the same time.

But on the way, she fell into a rushing river, was pushed down a waterfall by the current, and fell from a high altitude into the wreckage of another plane.

Then, because of the broken cabin, Laura only had time to grab a parachute bag and fell straight down from the broken cabin.

Jumping low, with primeval forest below, she didn't know how many times she was scratched by abrasions along the way, and finally hit the trees hard before falling to the ground......

Although it was also blocked by tree branches in the process, relieving a large part of the force, the height itself was equivalent to seven or eight floors.

didn't fall to the ground all at once, it just made her not fall to her death on the spot, and it was impossible not to pay any price.

So that's why Laura is now stumbling, her eyes are black, and she's almost in a desperate situation. She had to find a way to deal with her injuries as soon as possible, even if the slum in front of her was Solarry's home base.

……

……

Miss Crawford avoided enemy scrutiny as carefully as she could, finding an opportunity to burrow into the slum's waterways, where she had to advance from beneath the building and bypass the Solari thugs on the outskirts.

After a short advance, the house above the waterway came the angry scolding and cursing voice of a rude man, which seemed hysterical.

"Where did that old man go!!"

And there was also the peculiar sound of beating the flesh, and even the weak, dying voice of another man, who seemed to be tortured to the point of pain, and was crying out in pain.

"I don't know what you're talking about...... Please spare me......"

Then the irascible man's voice sounded again, and it seemed even more violent, as if he was interrogating and interrogating—

"You're lying!! I saw you running away with him!! ”

"Please! I...... No...... cough cough cough ...... I...... There is no ......"

"Looks like I'm going to find a way to get you to loosen your mouth!"

"Ah...... Not ——!! ”

"Say it! Where the hell is that old man! ”

Laura's eyes were blackened, and the sharp pain in her body and the suffocation of oxygen from her brain were tormenting her.

So at this time, she had no way to take care of others, so she could only grit her teeth tightly and pretend not to hear. It's just that a thought subconsciously flashed through my mind, thinking about who the old man these people were going to arrest.

Looks like it's probably old Green, right? He acted with Reyes and the others, and after the failure to rescue Sanmantha, it seems that he was not caught by Solari together, so it should be very likely that he was him.

The fierce beatings, crashes, and even vomiting blood mixed with muffled pleas in the house above, but suddenly all at the same time after a dozen seconds.

“……！！”

Laura suddenly subconsciously stopped advancing, holding her breath and not daring to make a sound. At this time, she was too weak, and her condition was extremely bad, and there was absolutely no chance of winning a head-on confrontation with those thugs.

She was afraid that this sudden calm was due to her whereabouts being exposed.

Although Miss Crawford had been very careful to lighten her movements, she was only one floor away, and she could hear the sound from above, which did not mean that the people above could not hear the sound below.

“……”

“……”

But after a long time, nothing happened, and just as she was in doubt, a lifeless corpse was suddenly pushed down somewhere in front of her, accompanied by the swearing of the irascible man from before.

It seemed that the calm just now was not that he had discovered any trace of an enemy in the waterway below the house, but that he had tortured people to death with too heavy a hand.

Looking at the corpse, Laura pursed her lips, and couldn't tell if she felt relieved or felt her heart pounding.

Human life on this island really doesn't matter, so it's important to understand who is a friend and who is an enemy...... She kept her head down and continued to walk slowly, trying not to make any sound.

Soon she came to an open field at the exit of the waterway—

It was surrounded by a high wall of planks, tin sheets, wire, and the like, and the gate was guarded, and several thugs were talking and walking inside.

"What's going on? What's going on inside? ”

"It was the Somalian, he went crazy and beat that guy to death......"

"Again? Heh, he kills people every time, by the way, is there any news of that old man? ”

"No, that old bastard is pretty tough, but he won't get far, so let's go to the helicopter and search for it......"

Laura's breathing inevitably became much shorter, and she tried to control the rhythm and frequency of her breathing, trying not to deteriorate her condition, nor acting immediately, but carefully observing the enemy's position.

After figuring out the rules, she endured a burst of dizziness and a black feeling in front of her, and seized the opportunity to use a bow and arrow to eliminate all the thugs guarding the gate one by one, silently.

Immediately afterward, she entered the camp gate and descended the mountain path, silently slaying the scattered enemies with her bow and arrows along the way. Eventually, before he completely fainted, he killed the last of the unnoticed thugs and reached the tail of the abandoned helicopter.

And after trying to open the rear hatch, she entered the cabin and found the medical kit.

And yet—

"None? How could there be no ......" Miss Crawford, who was flustered, almost cried in her voice.

She'd endured so much pain along the way, and it was a test that approached the limits of human endurance, and she had to overcome both physical and mental trauma to get here.

But she is also a human being, not a god, and now that there is no medical medicine on board the helicopter, her injuries can definitely not be delayed any longer......

"...... this?"

With trembling hands, Laura took out a lighter from the pilot's corpse in the driver's seat, looked at it blankly for a long time, poked it there like half a piece of wood, and finally sat down on the spot with gritted teeth.

Next, she concentrated on burning the sharp arrow of an arrow with a lighter, and then put down the hot lighter. She lifted the red-hot arrow and shook it a few times, her whole body tense like a stone.

Her teeth clenched, her dilated pupils filled with fear.

But at last Miss Crawford trembled, pulled the hem of her dress with her other hand, and slowly closed her eyes, and with a ruthless heart the red-hot iron arrow—

"Hey, wait, don't be so impulsive!"

At this time, a familiar voice suddenly came from the hatch, and Laura subconsciously opened her eyes and looked over, only to see a familiar figure.

It was about a moment of peace of mind that made her subconsciously relax, and as a result, her body could no longer support it. There was a buzz in my ears, and there was a buzzing in my head.

Bang dang! The arrow landed limply on the floor next to it.

"I ...... You ......"

Miss Crawford opened her mouth, only to feel that her body was going straight up, as if to float into the air, no matter how much she resisted, she quickly lost consciousness.
