Chapter 49: The Tempest
In front of the wooden house, Su Bai and Laura, who had finished treating their wounds, walked out of the door and saw everyone sitting around the fire.
An iron pot was on the fire, still steaming.
"Laura, you're out." Sanmantha beckoned to the two of them and shouted, "Come here." ”
The two walked over and found soup boiling in the pot. Jonah had a large iron spoon in his hand, stirring in it.
"Rose just hit a deer, and we're boiling venison soup." Sanmantha smiled and said, "But I will probably have to wait a little longer before I can eat, so let's sit down and rest for a while." ”
"Oh, that's pretty good." Laura raised an eyebrow and said.
Alex sat on the other side rubbing his hands, drooling greedily: "After so many days, I can finally eat hot food instead of dry food that is hard to swallow." ”
Su Bai sat between Rose and Sanmantha, and Laura sat next to Sanmantha.
He turned to Ross and said, "What about Ryan? Haven't come back yet? ”
Rose pointed to the back of the cabin, "He's out there contacting the outside, but it doesn't seem to have worked out yet." ”
"It's not that easy, after all, this place is almost isolated." Su Bai shook his head, "But if he wants to try, let him try." By the way, didn't you arrange for someone to be on guard? ”
Rose shook his head and said, "I've set up some small traps around. It's not lethal, but if someone comes close, it's still a warning. ”
"Well, it looks like we're missing out on a lot of things." Su Bai spread his hands.
Because of her concern for Su Bai, Laura was extremely careful when dealing with his wounds, and she almost wanted to check every inch of skin around his wounds. So it took them a lot of time.
And after that, the two couldn't help but warm up for a while, chatting for a while about the plan after leaving here, and delayed for a while.
Rose looked at him and smiled kindly, "I can understand your feelings. But now is not the time, so you'd better refrain from it. Some things are not too late to wait until it's safe to get out of here. ”
"Uh......" Su Bai suddenly became a little embarrassed, "Actually, we didn't do anything, I just asked Laura to help me deal with the wound." ”
Ross suddenly looked whole and asked, "Injured?" Is it serious? ”
"It's fine, just a minor injury." Su Bai shook his head and said indifferently, "It won't have any effect." ”
"That's good." Rose was relieved.
Now Su Bai and Laura are the main combat force in their group, and if they are seriously injured, the situation in the back of this team will become very bad.
The crowd gathered around the fire and chatted casually for a moment, and Jonah said, "The soup is ready, and it is ready to eat." ”
"I can't wait!" Alex said immediately.
"Somebody's going to call that Mr. Lane." Reyes said.
"No, I'm back." Su Bai was just about to speak, when Ryan's voice sounded behind him.
"You've come just in time." Rose turned to look at him and asked, "How's it going?" ”
Ryan said with some frustration, "Still no." This damn place, there's no signal at all. ”
"It doesn't matter. It would be nice to wait until we solved the storm. Su Bai said, "Before, Laura and I also climbed to the radio tower to send out a distress signal, but now it is estimated that the tower has been destroyed by Matthias." ”
"I hope it's like you say." Ryan replied casually, and then sat down by the fire. But obviously, he didn't believe what Su Bai said about the storm.
After all, the vast majority of modern people believe in science more, and the existence of supernatural forces has obviously subverted their preconceived notions of the world.
Su Bai didn't say anything. Anyway, whether he believes it or not, it doesn't matter what. When he sees the facts with his own eyes, he will naturally understand everything.
Everyone used a cleaned jar to fill the broth, and they didn't care about any civilized etiquette, so they just grabbed it with their hands and ate it.
After so many days on a desert island, it was the first time I drank hot broth. Even if there are no spices, it makes everyone feel as if they are enjoying the most delicious food in the world.
After eating and drinking, everyone sat on the ground with a satisfied face, touching their belly with their hands, and did not want to move at all.
At this moment, the sound of rolling muffled thunder suddenly came from the sky.
Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see the boundless black clouds sweeping in the sky. Among them, the dazzling electric snake twisted and flickered, and the majestic momentum made people palpitate.
"The storm is coming!" Su Bai Huoran got up, and the others also got up.
"Everyone, get in the house at once!" Rose shouted, and walked towards the hut with Reyes' help. Others followed.
As soon as everyone entered the house, the heavy rain poured down all of a sudden, and the sky and the earth were instantly white.
"With such a heavy rain, it seems that we can't move forward for a while." Looking at the rain curtain outside, Rose frowned tightly and said.
"Judging by the previous situation, the storm should not last too long." Su Bai said, "It's just that after the storm, the road will become more difficult to walk." It's even worse in case of some natural disaster. ”
"Oh, what a bad start." Reyes said.
"But it's not without good news." Su Bai said again, "At least with such a big storm, all the plans of those Solari disciples have come to naught. Nothing can be done. ”
……
In the midst of the magnificent ancient complex, Matthias stood on a high platform, looking at the storm raging in the sky, and raised his scepter high.
"The Queen of the Sun is showing us her wrath! Because of our incompetence, we let go of the chosen daughter. ”
"We have to make amends for our mistakes and appease the Queen's wrath! Only then will we be able to escape this cage! ”
"Everyone immediately set out to seize the Chosen Daughter at all costs! Remember, you must not hurt her. Otherwise, bear the wrath of the Ghost Guardians! ”
Below the high platform, all the cultists knelt on the ground and bowed their heads deeply, expressing their awe and submission to the Sun Queen.
Immediately, the congregation dispersed. A man with glasses walked towards Matthias with a smile on his face.
"Go get that girl here, and you'll get everything you want." Matthias looked at the man and said in a low tone.
"Of course, of course." The man's eyes were full of joy, and he nodded again and again with a smile, "I'll bring her to you." ”
After saying that, he turned around and left in a hurry.
Looking at his back, Matthias sneered, the glint in his eyes flickering.
Looking back at the storm in the sky, he muttered, "It's going to be soon, it's going to be soon......"
