Chapter 55: Re-rendezvous and Decision
Laura quickly came out of the cabin.
"I found a bundle of rope." She had a bundle of white nylon rope hanging from her shoulder, "We might be able to use it later." ”
After cleaning the cabin, the two moved on.
After crossing a river and walking some distance on a mountain trail, the two came to a valley.
There is a decaying wooden door on the rock wall.
Su Bai walked over and chiseled the door open, and a dark cave appeared behind the door.
"It's good that I just brought a torch there." Su Bai took out the torch he got from the wooden house and said with some joy, "I knew this thing could come in handy." ”
Lighting the torch with a flint and steel, he took the lead in the cave.
"Let's go. Watch your step, Laura. Maybe there's a trap or something. ”
After entering the cave, the torches were still burning, proving that the oxygen content was above the safety line.
"The air here is ...... It doesn't feel like air in a closed environment. There should be an exit from the cave. Laura guessed.
The two walked in the cave for a while, and Su Bai suddenly stepped on the air, one stumbled to the ground, and then his body slid down.
"Sue!"
Laura let out a scream, rushed forward, and slid down the slope as well.
Su Bai only felt that the sky was spinning for a while, and he finally regained his body's balance, and then saw a faint light coming in in front of him.
"We're almost at the exit, Laura."
He said immediately.
Then, the two fell to the ground.
"Whirring ......"
Su Bai gasped and got up from the ground, only to feel a pain all over his body.
"Really...... I also asked you to pay attention to your step, but I ended up getting hit instead. He said with a grin.
Seeing that Su Bai seemed to be fine, Laura relieved herself. Wen Yan couldn't help but laugh.
"Alright, let's move on, Laura. The exit is right ahead. ”
After taking a breath and relieving himself, Su Bai said.
The two of them walked towards the front, and soon saw the entrance to the cave.
"We're here!"
Su Bai perked up and immediately quickened his pace.
As soon as they came out of the cave, they saw a figure standing on the edge of the cliff in front of them with his back to them, still holding a rudimentary cane in his hand.
Hearing the voice, he turned his head and looked at the two of them, with a smile on his face: "Laura, Sue, you guys have finally arrived." ”
"Rose!"
Laura screamed in surprise and immediately rushed forward, threw herself into Rose's arms, and hugged him tightly.
"I'm so happy to see that you can move."
She said excitedly.
"Oh, girl. I'm happy to see you're okay. Rose patted Laura on the back and teased, "But it's time for you to get up, or someone will be upset." ”
Su Bai, who was standing on the side, raised his eyebrows and coughed dryly: "No, there is no such thing at all......"
Laura got up from Rose's arms, looked back at Su Bai, and burst out laughing.
Su Bai changed the subject and said, "Captain Ross, how did you get here?" Your legs ......"
"Boy, I'm not old enough to walk." Rose laughed and said, "As for my leg, it's just a small injury. ”
He let go of Laura, looked down the cliff, and said, "Yesterday I saw a plane go down, and it happened to land not far away, and I guessed that something must have happened. So I immediately figured out how to get in the direction the plane came from. But I can't move on here. ”
Speaking of this, Laura's mood suddenly dropped.
She looked at the mess below and the still burning wreckage of the plane, and said in a low tone: "One second it was normal, but the next second ...... And so the storm came, and it just appeared out of thin air......"
"It's not your fault, Laura." Rose turned to look at the girl next to him and said.
"I called them over, Rose!" Laura said loudly.
"Alright, Laura." Su Bai walked to the side and patted her on the shoulder, "Calm down." ”
Laura bit her lip, "I'm sorry, Rose. I just ......"
Before he finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie on his body: "Help, help!" I am the co-pilot of the aircraft N711A, Gisop......"
"The other pilot......" Laura's eyes widened, and she immediately took out her walkie-talkie and said in a hurried tone, "Hello? Hello? Can you hear me? ”
"I was seriously injured when I landed and now I need first aid. Did anyone hear that? ”
The pilot, named Gisop, did not seem to receive the signal and said to himself. Then, suddenly, there was a sharp beep on the walkie-talkie.
Laura shouted, "Captain Gisop? Did you hear that? ”
Gisop was still saying, "I've sent out a smoke signal, please answer when you hear it." ”
"Damn, he can't hear me!" Laura stopped her futile attempt, put down her walkie-talkie, and said with an anxious face, "I have to go to him." ”
"Nope." Ross immediately objected.
Laura ignored it and looked into the distance, where she soon saw a puff of blue smoke rising.
"His signal is over there!"
"We still have our own people to save." Rose tried to dissuade Laura, "As soon as they find Sanmantha, we're going to have to regroup with everyone right away." ”
"I really can't just leave him alone, I have to go find him!" Laura spoke in a resolute tone, and was about to turn away.
Rose grabbed her arm and stared at her, his voice low, "Sometimes sacrifice is necessary, Laura. You can't save everyone. ”
Laura gently pulled Rose away and looked at him without flinching: "I know what sacrifice is. ”
"Nope." Rose shook his head slightly, "You only know about losing." Sacrifice is a choice you have to make, and loss is a choice that is made for you. ”
Laura was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and said resolutely, "I can't choose to let him die, Rose. ”
Rose turned his head to look at Su Bai, who had not spoken beside him, and said, "Su, you have to persuade Laura." ”
"Me?" Su Bai was stunned.
Laura also turned her head to look at him.
"Okay." Under the gaze of the two, Su Bai shrugged, looked at Laura, and said, "Intellectually speaking, I agree with Captain Ross, Laura. Sometimes sacrifice is necessary and inevitable. ”
"Sue!" Laura's eyes widened and she was about to retort.
"But!" Su Bai interrupted her, "Emotionally and morally, it is indeed a very ruthless thing to leave that pilot behind. ”
He paused, looked into Laura's brown eyes, and continued, "And, I said it, Laura. I will always be with you, no matter where you are going or what you are doing. So, I support your decision. And I'll go with you to that Captain Gizop. ”
"Oh......" Hearing this, Rose couldn't help but shake his head, his eyes showing helplessness and a hint of relief.
Laura's eyes were immediately filled with excitement.
"Thank you, thank you Sue." She kept repeating.
"That's what I'm supposed to do, Laura." Su Bai looked at the girl in front of him with a smile and said softly.
