Chapter 18: To the Palace
"No, Green......"
Laura sat down on her knees, her head bowed all at once, and tears streaming down her face.
Su Bai put down his bow and arrows, sighed, turned around and climbed onto the high platform.
"Laura." He squatted down beside the girl and reached out to take her into his arms, "It's okay, it's okay, everything will be fine." ”
"Su ......"
Laura sobbed into his arms, her shoulders trembling slightly, her voice full of sadness.
Su Bai didn't speak, and gently patted her back.
After a while, Laura's mood stabilized, and she looked up at Su Bai, her tear-stained face was full of determination: "I'm going to make those bastards pay!" ”
"Yes, we'll make them pay." Su Bai stared at her brown eyes and nodded.
"The palace......," Laura stood up, looking at the buildings in the distance, "we need to go to the palace." Sanmantha: They're still being held there. ”
Su Bai also stood up and said, "We will find them, let's go Laura, go and save the others." ”
The two got off the platform and climbed along the zipline to the opposite side.
"Over there!"
Arriving at the platform on the tower, Su Bai pointed to an ancient building built on a lonely mountain opposite, "Let's use a zipline to climb over." There should be a road leading to the palace. ”
There is only one zipline.
Su Bai patted Laura's shoulder: "You go first, Laura." ”
Laura nodded, and crawled down the zipline to the opposite side. Soon they were on the other side.
Su Bai stood in place, looking at the wooden bridge in the air in the distance.
To get to the palace, they had to cross that wooden bridge. But he is well aware that this is definitely not an easy thing to do.
With a long sigh, he clenched his fists and whispered to himself, "No matter what, this must be over." Laura must not be allowed to have anything to do. ”
At this time, Laura shouted from the other side, "I'm here, Sue." Come here. ”
"Here we are."
Su Bai replied, put the gun on his back, and crawled along the zipline towards the opposite side.
After arriving without incident, the two were just about to move on when Laura's radio suddenly sounded.
"Laura."
"Rose!" Laura hurriedly took out the radio and responded eagerly, "Rose, is that you?" ”
"It's me, Laura." Rose's voice came, "How are you doing?" ”
"We're fine, Rose. Where are you now? Laura asked.
"I'm behind you, at eight o'clock, there's a building." Ross replied.
The two hurriedly turned around and found a sloping two-story attic on the top of the hill in that direction. There is a blurred figure at the window on the second floor.
"I see you." Ross said.
"Ross ......" Laura looked at the attic, her voice lowered.
"What's wrong?"
"Greene is dead. They took him hostage and wanted me to surrender......" Laura's face was full of grief, "but he wouldn't let them get away with it......"
There was a sudden silence on the radio.
"I'm so sad, Rose." Laura's body trembled slightly.
Su Bai stepped forward to hug her and comforted her softly, "It's okay, Laura." ”
Rose's voice rang out again: "No, don't be sad, Laura. Don't give up either. Live well, and when we get out, we'll have a drink to this old friend. ”
Laura took a deep breath, "I see, Rose. ”
She turned her head to look at the palace in the distance: "Sanmantha, they are still locked up in the palace, Sue and I will try to get close to that side." Can you help us? ”
There was a moment of silence on the radio, and Rose replied, "My sniper rifle has a clear view of the walls of the palace, and I will cover you here." ”
"Okay." Laura said, "We went on. ”
"Be careful, girl. There are a lot of people over there. Ross said with concern.
"I understand."
Laura put the radio on and said to Su Bai, "Let's go, Su." ”
The two of them continued on, climbing up the high platform and up the stairs.
After walking for a while, a voice suddenly came over the radio.
"This is a rescue helicopter, N888RC, answering distress signals. It is coming from the freighter Holy Trinity. ”
Then, Rose's voice rang out.
"I'm Conrad Rose of the Endurance, do you get it?"
There was no response over the radio, only a murmur.
Rose said again, "Again, I'm Conrad Rose, the captain of the Endurance, did you receive it?" ”
There was still no response on the radio.
"Laura, did you hear that?" Rose said to Laura, "The rescue helicopter is coming in." ”
"That's great news, Rose!" Laura said in an agitated tone, "You give the signal, let's go in and get Sanmantha and the others out." ”
"But Laura, maybe I should ......," Rose said with some hesitation.
Laura understood what he meant, and immediately said, "It's not the same as the previous one, Rose." And I dragged Sanmantha and the others into the water, and I had to save them. ”
"Okay. Be careful, Laura. Ross said.
"So are you." Laura nodded.
After finishing the communication, she looked at Su Bai with excitement on her face: "The rescue helicopter is here, Su." ”
However, Su Bai didn't answer, frowning and thinking about something.
"What's wrong, Sue?" The smile on Laura's face retracted and asked.
"Huh?" Su Bai came back to his senses, shook his head, and said, "It's nothing." I'm just wondering if this time will happen again. ”
"No, it won't." Laura seemed to be convincing herself, "The helicopter is different from the last plane. Since that supernatural force is not directly attacking us, then it must be limited in some way. The helicopter will be fine. ”
"You have a point." Su Bai smiled, "It is impossible for that Queen Himiko to be so powerful that it is ubiquitous, as long as we don't make too much noise, we will definitely be able to escape smoothly this time." ”
Even though he said this, a shadow cast on his heart.
The word "Holy Trinity" was mentioned in the radio communication just now, and Su Bai vaguely remembered that this was an extremely secretive and powerful organization. Moreover, Laura's father's death seems to have something to do with them.
But at least in the plot of 9, this organization should not be involved much. So Su Bai didn't think about it for the time being.
In front of them was the gate of this ancient building, and when the two of them walked in, it was empty, and there was no passage to the upper floor.
"It's getting late, let's rest here for the night, and then continue our journey tomorrow." Su Bai said, "The road ahead is not easy to walk, and the danger of rushing at night will be greatly increased." ”
Although worried about the condition of the others, Laura nodded: "Okay, let's rest for the night." ”
"That's right." Su Bai smiled and said, "You sit down for a while, and I'll go find some firewood to make a fire." ”
