Chapter 56: Back to the Beginning
"Listen Laura."
As Su Bai and Laura stared at each other, Rose opened his mouth to break the atmosphere between them.
He looked at Laura, his face full of seriousness: "If you insist on doing this, then there will be no further delay." ”
Laura turned to look at Rose, her face full of apologies, "I'm sorry, Rose. I really can't just leave him alone. ”
Then she asked, "What about you?" ”
"I'm going down the mountain, maybe I can join the others." Rose looked into the distance and said, "I can't sit still like this. ”
"Hurry up, Laura." He turned his head and looked at Su Bai next to him again, "The sooner you finish this, the sooner you can join us." ”
"But your safety ......," Laura said with some concern.
"Don't worry about me." Rose interrupted her, a smile on his face, "I found an old sniper rifle in the ruins. I'm lucky, right? And it's already loaded, oh my God! With this guy, I won't have any problems. ”
"Okay, I see." Laura nodded, "If there's anything, please be sure to contact us." ”
"I will. Let's go now. Rose agreed, and then urged.
"That'...... Let's go first. Laura said again, glancing at Rose with reluctance in her eyes, and suddenly threw herself into his arms, "Take care, Rose." ”
"Alright, it'll be fine, girl." Rose patted her lightly on the back.
After a while, Laura left Rose's arms and looked at Su Bai: "Let's go, Su." ”
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the path carved out of the cliff face on the left.
Su Bai glanced at Rose, who nodded slightly at him and instructed, "Take care of Laura, Su." ”
"I will. Take care, Captain Ross. ”
Su Bai replied in a calm tone, and after speaking, he turned around and followed Laura.
Watching the backs of the two disappear from sight, Rose sighed slightly and muttered, "It must be safe, girl." ”
On the other side, Su Bai looked at the direction where the blue smoke signal rose in the distance and said, "That place doesn't seem too far from here. ”
"I'm afraid he'll be killed by Solar's men like the pilot before him." Laura said worriedly.
Su Bai sighed: "I hope that Captain Gisop can be clever and find a place to hide, instead of staying where he is and waiting." ”
The two of them descended the trail and climbed down a cliff.
On the side of the road ahead, there is a small wooden house.
They had taken a few steps towards that direction when they heard a burst of talking.
"This barracks doesn't look like there's anything wrong with it." A man said in English.
"There's no one here." The other said in agreement.
"Probably. But we have the command above. The man from before said, "I'm going to go to the plane and go on a mission with the others, and you continue to search the ruins over here." ”
The two of them immediately carefully hid behind the house and poked their heads out.
There was a sound of footsteps, and then two men walked forward one after the other.
After taking a few steps, the man behind him stopped, spread his hands, and replied nonchalantly, "Okay, I'll go right away." ”
"Laura." Su Bai shouted in a low voice.
"Understood."
Laura answered, then pulled her bowstring, her cold arrows aimed at the man in front.
Su Bai followed and aimed at the man behind him.
"Three, two, one!"
Both released the bowstring at the same time.
Then, almost in no particular order, the two men were pierced through the neck by an arrow, slowly fell to their knees, and then fell forward.
"What's going on?" The next moment, a panicked voice came, "Who's there?" ”
Su Bai raised his eyebrows, holding his bow and arrows and slowly walked towards the front of the house.
A man suddenly burst out of the corner in front of him.
Su Bai didn't think about raising the bow is an arrow, and the man suddenly fell to the ground holding his neck. His limbs twitched slightly, but he didn't move.
"Alright, it's settled." He turned back to Laura and smiled.
Laura was just about to speak when Reyes's voice came from the walkie-talkie on her waist.
"Is anyone there? Ross? ”
"I'm here, Reyes. What's your condition? Rose replied immediately.
"We track a group of people to a similar ...... The place of the city. This place is horrible, Rose. What the hell are they doing here? There was a hint of horror in Whitman's tone.
"I don't know, and I don't want to know. Is there any news from Sanmantha or Whitman? ”
"Not yet. Are you with Laura? ”
"Yes...... We will come down the mountain at once to meet you. Rose's tone was somewhat unnatural.
"Okay, we'll try to get closer." Whitman didn't notice anything unusual about Ross and replied, "Remember to turn this channel on." ”
The voice disappeared, and Su Bai said, "Let's go." Ross will settle the matter over there. All we need to do is find Captain Gisopp as soon as possible and rush over to meet them. ”
Laura nodded.
The two men stepped forward, first searched the body, and then entered the house.
On the wooden table in the room, the two found a rusted metal tool.
"Mortar and pestle...... This is supposed to be used to pound the medicine. Su Bai recognized this thing at a glance.
Laura stepped forward to pick up the mortar, her eyes widening suddenly, "There are some bone fragments in here...... Hopefully it's the bones of animals. ”
"Alright, leave this alone." Su Bai walked over and took the mortar in her hand and put it back on the table, "Look to see if there are anything else." ”
There is also a small cubicle in the cabin.
Su Bai walked in and found a dusty scroll in the corner.
"Laura, look at this." He walked out of the compartment with the scroll and shouted at Laura.
Laura walked over, took the scroll, blew off the dust, and opened the scroll.
"This is ......" A look of shock appeared on her face as she looked at the words inside the scroll, "This is a Storm Warrior General's oath of allegiance to the Sun Queen. And this general is also the Queen's first storm warrior. ”
"Storm Warrior General?" Su Baimo rubbed his chin, "It doesn't sound like an ordinary person." ”
At this time, Laura put down the scroll and shook her head with some disappointment: "This is a very historically valuable document, but unfortunately there is no more useful information in it. ”
"Well, no big deal. Let's move on, Laura. Su Bai patted her on the shoulder and walked towards the outside of the wooden house.
Laura tucked the scroll into her bag and followed him closely.
The two of them continued on, coming to a stone platform.
Leaning against the cliff wall is a stone statue seated cross-legged. There is no road ahead, but there is a long zipline leading from here to the bottom.
"Alright, we're going to have to experience another zip line."
Su Bai sighed.
Immediately, they fell on the zipline and landed as fast as they could.
Poof!
When he was almost at the end of the rope, Su Bai suddenly let go of his hand. Then he slammed into the ground in mid-air and rolled a few more times before stopping.
