Chapter 126: Sacrifice and Loss
Everything happened in a flash of light, and the situation was reversed in an instant.
Old Greene leaned back sharply, as if he had practiced for an unknown number of times, smashed the bridge of his beard with the back of his head, and then turned around and snatched the machete with his wrist-bound handsβ
Then, as if it was the most exciting scene in the bullfight, the old man was like a brute bull, and his short body pressed against the bearded man's belly, and he lifted and turned the opponent over!
The counter-kill was completed in an instant, and you can just listen to the huge transformation of the bearded man from surprise to despair, and the crazy screams are still echoing in the mountain stream.
"Oops! Catch him! β
The remaining thugs also panicked, this old guy is their last hole card, if there is really no way to fight against the two plague gods opposite, I am afraid that if it is not a blink of an eye, everyone will have to lie on the ground and become corpses!
As a result, the negotiated direct shooting was not carried out, and a thug rushed up with a roar of rage, trying to re-restrain Old Green.
As a result, he didn't expect that the other party was really tough and didn't look like an elderly man, but after a few simple fights, the thug was stabbed in the stomach by old Gelin, and the latter suddenly twisted the handle of the knife a few times.
The pain was so severe that the thug instantly lost his ability to move, and he fell down screaming and weak, his eyes wide open, as if he couldn't believe that his life had come to an end.
Obviously, this old bastard's wrist is still tied by ropes, but he is so strong, no wonder his previous companions say that this guy is quite difficult to deal with, and it is difficult for a few people to have a chance of winning......
Ignoring the loud pleas of Laura on the other side, Greene turned and charged towards a thug hiding behind cover after completing his second kill.
The latter seemed to be frightened by his momentum, and he didn't care about leaving hostages to threaten the other side, so he subconsciously shot - da! The bullet sent a barrage of blood to the old guy's body.
However, old Greene seemed to have thought of such a consequence a long time ago, and he pounced on the thug in one breath, grabbed the other party with a dead end, and rolled to the side with his own weight with that undiminished momentum.
With the long and desperate howl of the thug, the two rolled out of the edge of the tower and fell straight down the cliff as a matter of course!
"No ββ!!"
Laura cried out in despair, but found that there was nothing she could do, she couldn't change what was happening in front of her, she could only watch the stubborn old man's figure disappear from her sight.
As if she had lost all her energy at once, she collapsed weakly, and sat on the ground in a daze, her brown eyes hollow.
At this time, there were still two enemies left on the opposite tower, and they looked at each other and swallowed a mouthful of saliva with some difficulty.
That's it? This is a joke, right, saying that our side has an advantage in the hole cards, why was it reversed all of a sudden? That old bastard is obviously a hostage, but what is the operation of dragging three people to die together?
Who is the hostage? How do they feel more like the weak, threatened side?
And then they don't know anything until their brains come to their senses and understand how to react at this time. Two gunshots and two bullets directly let them drive west, ascend to bliss, and no longer worry about the affairs of the world.
Mo Chen gently reloaded the gun in his hand and put it away, and then he walked to Miss Crawford and sat down, without speaking, just waiting quietly and patiently.
If Laura didn't dare to do anything because she was afraid of old Greene just now, and was worried that she would accidentally injure the other party if she shot her, then he actually had a chance all the time.
It's just that just like he was paddling just now, occasionally mending his knife, he felt that there were some things that had to be experienced. Otherwise, we will never be able to understand the pain and the truth.
Besides, he had already taken insurance measures against this incident before, so there was no problem.
Now it's just a matter of waiting for Miss Crawford to get through this time, accept this experience, and forge her into a strong elite "warrior".
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
I don't know how long it took, Miss Crawford suddenly raised her hand and wiped her eyes vigorously, and then grabbed the AK47 assault rifle she had just put down on the ground next to her-
"I want them to pay!"
She said hatefully, and in addition to the anger in her tone, there was also a deep sense of sadness.
"Well, yes, yes, they have to pay the price." Mo Chen nodded again and again, what he wanted was this momentum, the young lady was indeed decisive before, but in a sense, she was not ruthless enough.
Miss Crawford took a deep breath several times, keeping her eyes firmly on the place where Old Greene fell, and finally gritted her teeth hard, "Ancient Palace...... Let's go to the Ancient Palace now! β
Old Greene was dead, and she couldn't afford to lose any more of her companions.
Whether it is Matthias plotting to send him to the ancient palace for a fire sacrifice ceremony, if he succeeds, he will bring Samantha to resurrect Himiko, or Reyes and others who are trapped in it because they are trying to rescue Samandha.
She decided to get them out as quickly as possible, and there would be no more accidents.
Next, through the ropeway, Mo Chen and Miss Crawford successfully climbed the tower, and then went from the tower to the opposite cliff, and after successfully crossing the other bank, basically this distance can be declared complete-
Continuing on, there is a bridge, and on the opposite side of the bridge is the ancient palace hidden in the canyon, the main entrance to the magnificent ruins of the ancient buildings.
Mo Chen and Miss Crawford walked side by side in the direction of the bridge, he lowered his head and pondered.
Because he seems to remember that when he came from the tower towards the cliff, a plot should have been triggered. That is, when Laura was in mid-air, two more Solari thugs appeared out of nowhere.
They attacked directly, nearly knocking Laura off a cliff, and the latter couldn't fight back. Fortunately, Captain Ross was nearby at the last moment, and sent two people to get the lunch box with a few shots.
However, there is no such thing as a plot now, and even Captain Ross is not around...... Of course, it's normal that there is no trigger, it's a real world after all.
Moreover, with Miss Crawford's current ability value that is close to the limit of human beings in all directions, it is near the tower, how can anyone be able to hide without being discovered, unless the other party is a stealth master in the true sense.
Even if Captain Ross was not far away, there was a high probability that she would be able to directly detect the other party's presence at the first time.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"Zizi...... Here is the rescue helicopter N96...... Zizi ...... RTβ¦β¦ We...... Zizi ...... Responding to distress signals......"
At this time, the radio communicator on Laura's waist once again heard a sound accompanied by a strong noise interference, and both of them suddenly subconsciously stopped.
Laura glanced at her companion next to her, then picked up the communicator, and both of them listened carefully to the voices coming from it.
"I'm the captain of the expedition ship Perseverance, Conrad Ross, did you get it?"
"It's Ross, and I hope to be able to get in touch with ...... Hey, wait, is there a second rescue team coming over so soon? β
Laura whispered, but then she suddenly sensed something was wrong. Even now, when I am extremely sad and sad, I still feel a little incredible.
After such a major blow before, many search and rescue planes entered the island and immediately wiped out, no matter how sluggish the outside world is, it should not be unaware of the potential unknown dangers on the island.
According to her thinking, the outside world will not give up, but at least it will have to wait for a long time - after all, there must be a reaction time to reformulate a new plan for all kinds of situations that may arise, right?
However, it has only been about three days now, how can it already be ...... The signal from a rescue helicopter that can be reached directly through the radio communicator at least indicates that the other party should enter the island, which is too aggressive!
Mo Chen blinked his eyes and smiled meaningfully: "'Search and rescue team'? Probably, at least they do do work part-time search and rescue work......"
What Miss Crawford didn't know was that if it was really a simple situation as "the search and rescue fleet entered the island and was completely wiped out", of course, it was carried out according to the normal process.
However, the abnormal local superstorm set off by Himiko before, as well as the resentful curse captured by various sound acquisition devices, have clearly hammered the abnormality of this island-
Whether it's a mysterious phenomenon that can't be explained by real science, or some kind of black technology from aliens or prehistoric super civilizations, it is definitely of great value.
If nothing else, what if it is really possible to develop a type of meteorological weapon or a strategic mass killer from it?
If only one country knew about this secret, it might have slowly and cautiously advanced the exploration plan, but it was not just one country that knew about it...... All the countries involved in the search and rescue operation knew about it.
Although they all tacitly blocked the news of the day, they tacitly understood each other, and considering that everyone wanted to be one step ahead of others, if they dragged on, there would be problems sooner or later, so they simply cut through the mess quickly -
At a time when the international community was still widely regarded as a joint multinational search and rescue operation, its essence had changed.
It is still cloaked in the veneer of the previous search and rescue project, but in fact, the focus of the countries is on exploring the "mysterious phenomenon" on the island as soon as possible, and the search and rescue operation has become an incidental option.
Now, the second group of "search and rescue teams" β essentially special operations forces β seems to have arrived.
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
However, due to strong electromagnetic interference, for the next minute or so, there was only a noise on the radio, and there was no other valuable information.
This made Laura extremely disappointed, and she no longer kept silent for fear of disturbing the communication, but called out: "Rose? β
"Laura? Did you hear that? Rescue helicopters are coming soon! The familiar voice on the other side was a little old and tired, but the joy in his tone was unmistakable.
"I ...... I hear it, and that's great news. Laura pursed her lips, "Where are you now?" Have you arrived at the Ancient Palace? β
"Me? I'm a little unsure, it's too slow to walk with such a group of people, and I feel like I'm in a mountain stream right now......"
"That's right...... Then Ross you want to find a way to settle those people, and then go and send a signal, contact the rescue team, and I will find a way to get Sanmantha and the others out and join you again! β
Miss Crawford hesitated for a moment, but finally made a decision.
Then, as if she had some difficulty breathing, she snorted vigorously several times before she mutteredβ
"And, Rose...... Green...... He's dead. β
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦ Speaking of which, Laura, I had just seen a large swarm of white rats, and when I looked over to find Greene lying on the edge of a waterhole. β
There was a long silence on the other side, and then there was some strange noise, but Rose meant it very tactfully:
"That old stubborn state is a little bad, unconscious, but nothing is wrong......"
What the!
Laura was stunned for a moment, and then she felt her heart stop beating for a moment.
