Chapter 52: Quarrels
After some searching, the two successfully found all the tools they needed.
After meeting on the deck, Su Bai said with a smile: "It seems that we are lucky, we can do it in one go." ”
"I've always had good luck." Laura winked playfully at Su Bai.
"That's right, you're my lady of luck." Su Bai laughed and reached out to wrap his arms around the girl's waist.
Laura gently rested her head on his shoulder. The two of them looked at the sea in the distance, listening to the chirping of seabirds and the sound of the waves from time to time, quietly enjoying this moment of tranquility.
"It's a beautiful view." Laura sighed softly.
"Maybe it will become a tourist attraction in the future." Su Bai said with a smile, "When we go out, the discovery of the Yamatai Kingdom will definitely be able to shock the world." When the time comes, Laura will really be a legendary explorer. ”
"It doesn't matter anymore." The girl shook her head lightly, and wrapped her arms around Su Bai's waist, "The important thing is to have you by my side." ”
"I'll always be there for you, Laura." Su Bai said softly. After a pause, he smiled again and said, "So by the way, it's a good thing to realize your dream and become a legendary explorer, isn't it?" ”
"Even so, you're more deserving of this title than I am." Laura said, "Without your help, I'm just going to make a mess of things." It's like this time to bring everyone to this dangerous place. ”
"No, Laura." Su Bai suddenly shook his head again and again, "Don't underestimate yourself." As an explorer, intuition is more important than skill. I only have the latter, and at most I can only be a bodyguard for you. If you really want to explore, it's up to you. Be confident Laura. ”
After a while, the two reluctantly parted and prepared to go back.
They descended to the shallow water by the beach through a zipline set up on the deck and headed towards the beach.
"Look over there, Jonah is there."
Su Bai suddenly saw a figure standing in front of him, pointed over there and said to Laura.
"Let's go over and see." Laura said immediately.
The two trotted over, and Jonah heard a voice turn around, "You're back." ”
"We found these things." Laura handed Jonault a bag of tools in a net.
"Thank you." Jonah said.
Seeing that something seemed wrong with him, Laura couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?" ”
Jonah looked back in the direction of the wreckage of the Stoic and said, "Something isn't right. Alex should have been back early. ”
Laura was shocked: "It's a disaster!" Since there are Solarians stationed even where we go, there's no reason why the Perseverance is safe! Alex is in danger! ”
"Have you encountered an enemy?" Jonah turned to look at her.
"Yes." Laura bit her lip and blamed herself a little, "It's all my fault, I should have thought of it a long time ago." ”
"Alright, Laura, you can't be blamed for that." Su Bai comforted, "I didn't think of it just now. It's useless to say anything now, so let's rush to the Stoic to take a look, maybe Alex was just delayed looking for tools. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a gunshot suddenly sounded in the distance. This was followed by a heart-rending cry: "Help! Help me! ”
"It's Dr. Whitman!" Jonah said immediately, and ran in the direction from which the voice came.
A sneer appeared in Su Bai's eyes, took Laura's hand, and said, "Let's go over and have a look first." ”
The two of them ran towards the dock and saw that everyone was gathered together. Whitman lay on the ground, panting, with a pistol in his hand.
"Where is the enemy?" Jonah glanced warily behind him with his gun.
"How many of them are there?" Reyes asked.
"I don't know." Whitman shook his head.
"You're not hurt, are you?" Sanmantha crouched down to her and asked, full of concern.
"I'm fine, maybe I scared them away." Whitman gasped and stood up as he replied, "I feel like I've run for miles." ”
"But you don't look like you're sweating." Laura, who walked side by side with Su Bai, said expressionlessly.
"Maybe I'm more resilient than I thought." Whitman replied.
"Or maybe you're planning to lure them in and arrest us, just as you did at the palace." Laura's tone was questioning.
"What?" Rose frowned, his sharp gaze fixed on Whitman.
"Not so, Laura." Whitman raised his hand and explained, "When you went to save Sanmantha, they arrested me. ”
"What the hell is going on?" Reyes asked.
Whitman was silent for a moment, crossed his hands on his hips, looked at his feet and said, "They say this is the only way to keep you and the others alive." ”
As he spoke, he raised his right hand holding the pistol and pointed at Laura: "I...... I warned you! ”
Su Bai's eyes were cold, and he stepped forward and punched Whitman's chin, instantly knocking him to the ground.
"Don't point a gun at my Laura." He looked at Whitman condescendingly and said coldly.
"Enough, we don't have time to argue about this." Reyes said, "Listen, I don't know what's going on between you. And to be honest, I don't really care. ”
"I just want ......" Whitman got up from the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood, and was about to speak, when Su Bai immediately interrupted him.
"If you say another word, I'll wipe out all your remaining teeth." Su Bai stared at him unkindly.
"Alright, stop." Rose frowned and said, "At this juncture, we can't start infighting ourselves. ”
Ross was right. So it must not happen, is that okay? Reyes looked at Su Bai, then at Whitman, and said.
Laura gave Whitman a cold look and turned around, "I'm going to find Alex, where are those tools on the Forbearance?" ”
"In the engine room. Listen, Laura, he can handle it himself. Reyes said.
"If that's the case, we'll be back soon." Laura didn't look back to the tunnel.
Su Bai glanced at Whitman, and then said to Sanmantha, "Remember what I said to you last night. ”
Then he turned and chased Laura.
"Whitman has a problem." Laura said as she walked.
"I know." Su Bai raised his eyebrows, "I thought you didn't notice it." ”
Laura gave him a blank look: "Do I look so unwary?" ”
"No, you're just being too kind to your own people." Su Bai gently held her little hand and said.
"Wait, Sue, Laura." Jonah chased after him from behind.
"What's wrong?" The two stopped. Turning around, Laura asked.
"I've found something that you should be able to use." Jonah said, raising his hand, holding something in his hand.
If nothing else, there are at least two more chapters to add tonight.
