Chapter 25: Escape
Laura was constantly sobbing, coughing, gasping for breath from time to time, and tears glistening in her eyes.
Hearing Su Bai's voice, she took a deep breath and raised her head to look at Su Bai, her brown eyes were full of horror: "Oh, God......"
"Alright, it's okay, it's okay." Su Bai took her into his arms, gently patted her back with his right hand, and comforted her in a low voice.
After a few moments, Laura's rapid breathing gradually eased and her emotions calmed down.
"Sue, I killed someone......" The girl's tone was flustered and overwhelmed.
"It's okay Laura, they damn it, we're just here to protect ourselves." Su Bai said softly, "It's not just you, I also killed one, no matter what I have, I will be by your side." ”
Laura looked up at him and muttered, "Thank you Sue." ”
"Nothing. It's time for us to get out of Laura. ”
Su Bai pulled the lock of sweat-soaked hair on the girl's forehead behind her ear and let go of her positive color.
Laura nodded, glanced at the corpse lying on the ground next to her, and stood up.
Su Bai handed a bow into her hand, turned around and walked forward: "This way!" ”
Ahead, a blazing two-story wooden attic illuminates the path, and the flames make the air around it blazing.
The two of them followed the side path, crossed a wooden suspension bridge, and fled up the stone stairs up the mountain.
From time to time, the shouts of the gang came from all around, and none of them paid any attention to them.
Not far away, a wooden gate built into a high stone wall appeared in front of it, and flames burned on the door.
Su Bai came to the door of the fang, leaned against the stone wall and stopped, and stretched out his hand to signal Laura to stop.
There was the sound of conversation and a man's struggle.
Soon, a scream rang out.
Laura's breathing was suddenly short, and Su Bai reached out to put his hand on her shoulder and shook his head at her.
"Don't be impulsive, we can't save anyone else."
He whispered.
Laura pursed her lips, a look of pain and struggle in her eyes, and didn't move again.
After a few moments, there was silence inside.
Su Bai held the bow, pulled out an arrow and put it on it, and said to Laura, "Now let's go in and be vigilant." ”
After hesitating, he added, "If you have to, remember, don't show mercy." ”
Laura knew what he meant, and bit her lip and nodded vigorously, her eyes full of determination.
The two of them bowed and walked into the door.
A corpse lies on a stone staircase, several wooden chests are piled up on the left, and a burning palace is in front of it.
Su Bai walked forward with high vigilance, constantly scanning his surroundings. Laura followed closely behind.
Just after stepping onto the last step of the ladder, a rocket suddenly roared.
Su Bai hurriedly threw himself to the side, the rocket brushed past his face, and the blazing temperature made him feel that the fluff on his face was roasted.
"There are still people! Over here. ”
"Don't let them run."
Su Bai hid behind the piled up wooden boxes, and Laura came over and leaned next to him, her voice hurried: "Are you okay?" ”
As soon as they finished speaking, several more rockets came and fell behind them.
Then the light of a flashlight followed, and footsteps approached this way.
"It's okay, we need to get rid of them as soon as possible."
Su Bai said quickly.
He listened carefully to the movements around him, discerning the enemy's position.
After a while, he said to Laura: "There are two people here, I will deal with the one inside, and you will deal with the one who comes over." Is there a problem? ”
Laura didn't speak, just shook her head.
"Very good, I'll count three-two-one."
Su Bai took a deep breath and pulled the bowstring apart.
"Three, two, one!"
When the last sound fell, the two of them got up at the same time, confirmed their goal for the first time, and then released the bowstring.
Woohoo!
There were two whistling sounds, but the two men didn't react at all, their necks were each pierced by an arrow, and they fell to the ground, and soon fell silent.
Laura lowered her bow, her breathing becoming rapid.
"Relax Laura, they're the ones who don't die. Besides, these guys have blood on their hands, and none of them are innocent. By killing them, we avenge the death of others who have died at their hands. Su Bai comforted Laura.
"I understand, I'm just...... It takes a little time. ”
Laura's voice was a little low, she bowed behind her back and stood up, "You don't have to worry about me, Sue. I'm okay. ”
"Alright then, let's keep walking. The people behind are about to catch up. ”
Su Bai nodded and walked forward.
Inside there is a palace that has not been lit and the gate is closed.
The two walked over and pushed the door open with all their might, and a loud shout could be heard behind them.
"Hurry up, don't let them run!"
"Over there, shoot them!"
"Quick, get in." Su Bai hurriedly let Laura enter the palace through the open gap, and then squeezed in himself.
Several rockets followed with a whistling of rockets, one of which shot into the palace.
The two hurriedly closed the door and blocked the arrows outside.
"This way!"
Laura ran to a low fence in the palace, kicked it open with her foot, and got out. Su Bai followed closely behind.
Outside is a wooden plank road, and outside the plank road is a bottomless cliff. The palace is a hanging temple built on a cliff.
"Let's go!"
Su Bai looked left and right, and walked briskly to the right.
The plank road in front of them was broken, but this distance was not a big problem for the two of them.
The boardwalk connects to a mountain trail with a rock wall on the left and a cliff on the right. From here, you can see a sea of fire below.
The two fled along the trail towards the mountain.
A stone wall appeared in front of him, and a man walked along the path above the stone wall.
Su Bai noticed the other party for the first time, raised his bow and arrow, and shot him before he found the two of them.
Climbing the stone wall, the two continued to flee.
Passing through burning palaces and temples and climbing over cliffs while evading Russian militants can be dangerous.
After coming to a cliff and shooting the three Russians guarding it, the two climbed up the rope ladder hanging down from the cliff.
At this moment, Rose's voice came from the walkie-talkie.
"Laura, are you there?"
"Rose!"
"I see smoke over there, are you all right?" Rose asked eagerly.
"We're fine. We're in trouble, though. Laura gasped as she climbed up and replied, "They're killing people, they're chasing me and Sue." ”
"What? Who? Rose was startled and asked urgently.
"Those people...... I don't know who they are or why they are doing this. Laura's breathing became rapid, "We have no choice but to kill them to protect ourselves, we have no choice ......"
"Oh...... I know it's going to be tough for you. Ross spoke in a heavy tone.
"No, the scary thing is that I don't think it's hard to kill people at all." Laura said with a low mood.
"That's because we all know that they're not innocent, Laura." Su Bai in the back interjected, "There is no need to have any psychological burden." ”
