Chapter 33: A Troubled Conscience
When the bullets run out, she will break the arrow, how to turn the danger into a disaster and turn the situation around?
Ma Lin, who was hiding behind the stones, listened to the "ding" sound of the bullets hitting the stones, and did not dare to relax in the slightest, and could only rely on past experience to listen to the sound to identify the danger.
As we all know, when the bullets run out, you need to change the magazine, so Marin can only wait for the enemy to change the magazine for a very short time to attack, but fortunately, the opponent is a little chaotic, killing red eyes, shooting desperately, and not carrying out tactical cover, which also exposes their Achilles' heel!
Marin pinched this weakness and returned the color with a bow and arrow...
More than ten minutes later, an encounter ended with a big victory for the experienced Marin!
"Doodoo, XP plus 180"
"View Points Experience"
"Doodoo, your current experience is 3340 and your points are 2980"
"Close!"
Now that she is a Level 3 Advanced Agent, she is still 3060 short of upgrading to Level 4 Elite Agent 6400 experience, and Marin is also looking forward to unlocking more useful things in the Points Shop...
After a vicious battle, the next thing is to collect the loot, and after looking around, she got some ammunition and dry food, replenished her strength, and continued on the road.
After walking for a while, a waterfall appeared in front of him, and the plank road across the flowing spring had already collapsed, and Marin saw that there was a torii gate on the other side, so he took the opportunity to shoot the rope with a bow and arrow, build a rope bridge, and forcibly cross...
Arriving on the other side, Marin was lucky to find an orange tree, full of golden fruits, Marlin picked a few, sweet and sour, and it was also a feast...
After turning around, she found a locked wooden door at the mouth of the rock wall, and immediately set it on fire, revealing a long and narrow tunnel half a meter wide.
"Goulart should be right behind this tunnel!"
Sure enough, when Marin passed through the dark tunnel, he saw a tall back, quietly on crutches, standing on the mountainside platform, this person was the gray-haired veteran Goulart, who was once Marin's teacher and friend!
The two met smoothly, and Ma Linxin smiled:
"I'm so happy to see you moving"
Goulart looked back and smiled:
"Hehe, I'm also very happy to see you"
Marin walked to his side, looked ahead, and saw that the crashed passenger plane under the cliff caused a raging fire, Marin recalled the scene of the thunderbolt bombardment, and said:
"One second it's normal, the next second the storm comes"
"Just out of thin air"
Goulart stared sideways at the apologetic Marin, and said bluntly:
"That's not the point, Marlene!"
Marin said, "No, I called them to come to the rescue..."
Gao Latt raised the volume sharply and said:
"We'll find another way, Marlene"
While the two were talking, a man's voice suddenly came from the silent walkie-talkie:
"Help, help, I'm David the captain of plane N785"
Marin hurriedly turned around and pulled out the walkie-talkie and replied:
"Hello, I'm Marlene, can you hear me?"
David said:
"Did anyone hear that?"
"I was seriously injured when I landed and now I need first aid!"
"Hello! Can you hear ME? ”
Ma Lin'e frowned, almost wrinkled, she found that she could hear the other party's words, but the other party couldn't hear her own voice!
The walkie-talkie has been transformed by technical expert Liu Yifan, and the signal is extremely strong, comparable to the military, and this situation is impossible!
The unbelieving Marin repeated:
"Hello, I'm Marlene, Captain David, can you hear me?"
On the other end of the walkie-talkie, David didn't hear it, but repeatedly emphasized:
"I've sent a smoke distress signal, please answer when you hear it!"
The other party's voice was urgent, obviously the situation was grim and he urgently needed rescue, but Marin was helpless and could only hold the walkie-talkie and shout.
"Damn, he can't hear me, I have to go find him!"
As she spoke, she had seen the distress smoke signal coming from the opposite mountainside, and Marin continued:
"He's right on the other side..."
Before the words fell, Goulart shook his head decisively and persuaded:
"No!"
"Marin, we still have our own people to save"
"As long as Xu Yan and the others find Ji Xiang, we will have to re-team up"
Ji Xiang is a wealthy second generation in Japan, his father is a billionaire with a net worth of billions of dollars, and he is also the sponsor of this scientific expedition, and its importance is self-evident to Goulart.
As long as Ji Xiang is safe, maybe Mr. Shenwu will be happy and compensate him for a brand new Joseph!
I don't know much about Golatmarin!
Gaulat's strong physique and ruthless style in the army also led to his authoritarian leadership style, but it was not without its benefits to his team. During his military career, Goulart was honored with a mixture of resourcefulness, toughness, and a willingness to break legal limits in order to achieve his goals. As long as it is beneficial to his team, he will not hesitate to lie, cheat, and even break the law.
Now, David is in danger, Marin must not let it go, and the conscience in her heart clearly told her to rescue David, so she said straightforwardly:
"I really can't just leave him alone!"
Goulart shook his head and stretched out his hand to pull Marin's hand, but he shook her off, and Goulart said solemnly:
"Sometimes sacrifice is inevitable, Marin, you can't save everyone!"
Marin with a troubled conscience:
"I know what sacrifice is"
Goulart said:
"You know what it means to lose, sacrifice is a choice you make, and loss is a choice you make"
Marin looked directly at Goulart and said firmly:
"I can't choose to let him die, Goulart!"
With that, Marin turned and walked to the edge of the platform to get a bird's-eye view of the smoke.
Seeing this, Goulart said helplessly:
"Listen, Marlene, if you insist on doing this, then without further ado"
Marin nodded and said:
"I'm sorry, Goulart, I can't leave him alone"
After finishing speaking, he turned and ran towards the steep mountain road by the rock platform.
The mountain roads are rugged and bumpy.
The road paved by the ancestors of Shematai thousands of years ago was already covered with moss, and the side of the road was also covered with pine shrubs, and Marin ran along the road for less than a few minutes when he encountered an obstacle.
This obstacle is a broken bridge, the cliff connects the ancient road below to destroy, Marin saw that there is a memorial arch ten meters below across the ancient road, although it has been in disrepair for a long time, but it stands majestically, and it is quite strong.
"Luckily I brought a loop of rope!"
Marin took the rope from her shoulder, linked her bow and arrows, and shot at the torii, and with a "dang" sound, the rope was fastened to the torii, and she tied one end and rappelled down the rope.
As soon as he landed on the ground, the sound of several men's conversations came from his ears:
"There shouldn't be any people in the barracks here?"
"Well, there's no one here."
"However, we have an order above"
"I'm going to go on a mission with the others on the plane, and you continue to search this ruin!"
Hiding in the ruins of an ancient village on the edge of the torii gate, Marin probed to investigate, and found that there were several people chatting 7 meters away, and from their conversation, they learned that the other party was also looking for David!
"Oh no, I need to get to the place where the smoke rises as soon as possible"
"There are so many of them, there are them all over the island!"
