Chapter 19: Crossing the Bridge

In the evening, Su Bai and Laura simply ate some dry food, and then snuggled up to rest by the campfire.

Outside, a storm abruptly arose, and lightning and thunder continued to roar.

"If this weather continues tomorrow, I'm afraid we won't be able to make it." Laura said with some concern.

"The weather on this island is subject to change, and the storm doesn't last long." Su Bai comforted, "Maybe it will be sunny tomorrow." ”

"I hope so." Laura sighed softly.

At this time, the sound of a rescue helicopter was faintly heard on the radio.

"Here it is...... Because of the weather...... The search and rescue operation has been temporarily cancelled...... We will come back when the weather improves......"

Although the voices were muffled and choppy, the two made out what the other was saying.

"Well, the helicopter is gone, too." Laura said.

"At least they managed to leave, which means that they really didn't notice the supernatural forces that shrouded the island." Su Bai smiled and said, "This is a good thing." ”

Laura laughed too.

The next morning, the weather cleared.

The two of them exited the ancient building through another door, and outside was a broken and twisted wooden bridge that led to a building on another hill.

"Be careful Laura, there must be decay on some parts of this bridge, keep an eye on your step." Su Bai looked at Laura and reminded him.

Laura nodded and said, "I'll go ahead." ”

After speaking, he took the lead and walked forward, and Su Bai followed behind her. The two cautiously walked forward.

The last part of the bridge collapsed.

Laura stood on the edge of the gap and took a deep breath, jumped forward with all her might, grabbed the broken bridge deck on the opposite side with both hands and climbed up.

Su Bai also used the same method to cross the gap.

Ahead is the end of the bridge.

At this time, Rose's voice was heard on the radio.

"OK, I see you. Laura, Sue, there are a lot of guards on the bridge in front. ”

"Do you have any suggestions?" Laura picked up the radio and asked.

"It's a little hard." "You should be able to get through here," Rose said. ”

"I'm afraid you'll say that." Laura let out a long breath and said.

"Don't worry, I'll cover you all the way." Ross said.

Putting down the radio, Laura looked at Su Bai: "Su, you also heard Rose's suggestion." ”

Su Bai stretched out his hand and put it on her shoulder: "What Captain Ross said is a good idea. It's too difficult to break through head-on, and there should be a maintenance passage under the bridge, from where you can dodge attacks. Add to that the sniper cover of Ross and the chances of success are high. ”

"Okay. Since you think so too. ”

"Don't be nervous, Laura." Su Bai caressed her face, "I will do my best to protect you." ”

"I know." There was a hint of tenderness on the girl's face, which quickly turned to a look of determination, "Let's keep walking, Sue." ”

The two of them got off the bridge and climbed through the front window into a room full of miscellaneous items.

This is where the bridge begins.

They climbed up the aisle above the house, and after walking some distance, they came under the bridge.

Standing on the edge of the platform, you can see the outside scene from here. Overhead is the wooden bridge that leads to the palace.

"Laura, are you ready?"

Su Bai looked at the front, and then looked sideways at Laura beside him: "Do you need to rest for a while?" What follows will be a hellish journey that will test the limits of our physical strength and willpower. ”

Laura took a few deep breaths and said in a firm tone, "Let's go, Sue." ”

After saying that, he ran a few steps forward, jumped out of the platform with all his might, grabbed the wooden grille hanging down in front of him, and climbed up the repair passage under the wooden bridge.

Su Bai also took a deep breath, trotted a few steps out of the platform, grabbed the grille and climbed towards it.

At that moment, the wooden grille suddenly clicked and then collapsed. Su Bai's body suddenly fell downward.

"Oh!"

Laura let out a low exclamation, and hurriedly reached out and grabbed Su Bai's wrist and pulled him up hard.

"Whirring ......"

The two sat on the wooden floor of the passageway, gasping for breath.

At this moment, there was a voice overhead.

"What's going on down there? I wonder if they've caught the outsiders. One of the believers said dissatisfiedly.

The two of them hurriedly held their breath to keep themselves from making a sound.

"Don't worry. Even if they don't catch it, the two outsiders will send it to the door themselves. Another member said.

"If we don't catch that girl, Father Matthias will send demons against us." The third speaker spoke with deep fear in his tone.

"That's unless we fail, but we won't. The Queen of the Sun is with us. The second reverent reverently spoke.

"Maybe the Sun Queen is with those damned outsiders?" The first cultist's tone was disgruntled, "They've killed enough of us......"

"It's possible what you said." The third said.

"Enough! Say no more. This is too blasphemous to the Queen of the Sun! The cultist, who seemed to have become a devout follower of the Sun Queen, whispered.

The voices of the three people gradually faded away, and the two people in the passage under the bridge breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Bai pointed to the front and said in a low voice, "Let's go." ”

Laura nodded.

The two of them half-crouched and moved forward in the low planked passageway.

After walking for a while, the bridge deck in front was damaged.

As soon as the two of them walked under the damaged bridge deck, a cultist armed with a 100-style submachine gun suddenly walked over from the opposite side and immediately saw the two people under the bridge.

β€œhatthefu……”

His face changed. Before he could speak, a gunshot rang out, and a blood flower suddenly exploded on his head, and his body fell down at once.

Click!

The corpse smashed the wooden plank where the two men were standing.

Laura exclaimed, and rushed forward, narrowly grabbing a beam in front of her.

"There are snipers, get down, get down!"

"Ah, be careful!"

A chaotic shout rang out over the bridge, followed by the gunfire of Rose's sniper rifle.

Laura grabbed the beam and hung it in the air, and immediately went to find Su Bai's figure.

"I'm here. Laura, hurry up. ”

Su Bai grabbed the beam and hung it in the air, and said quickly.

"It's great that you're okay." Seeing that Su Bai was fine, Laura was suddenly relieved.

Immediately, the two of them moved to the right, came to the right side of the bridge, climbed over the beam and stood on it.

"I thought I had lost you." Rose's relieved voice rang over the radio, "Are you alright, girl?" ”

"Almost." Laura was held in Su Bai's arms and replied with palpitations.

"Alright, we'll have to jump over, Laura." Su Bai pointed to the beam sticking out in front of him and said.

Although they were next to the bridge, it was crowded with Solarians at this time, and they definitely couldn't go up. Therefore, it can only be passed in this dangerous way.
