Chapter 128: Can Laura Still Be Stronger?
In the original episode, Laura was particularly helpless, and after receiving a communication from Captain Rose, she initially hoped that her friends would come to her instead of meeting them herself.
It was only the situation that forced Laura to go on her own and head towards where Captain Rose was.
Now, because of Louis's involvement, the situation has changed a lot.
Laura meets with Sanmantha in advance, and instead of asking Captain Rose to come to her, she simply agrees to Captain Rose's suggestion to go to the meeting place on her own.
"Do you want to go immediately?" When Laura finished the communication, Louis glanced at Matthias diagonally across from him, and then asked Laura's opinion.
"I'm fine, Sam, can you walk?" This is again different from the original story, where Laura was exhausted when she met Sanmantha, and she rested by the campfire for a short time, and soon fell asleep.
When he woke up again, he could no longer see Sanmantha and Matthias (Sanmantha was captured by Matthias). But now with Louie's help, Laura's mental state is fine, and although her physical strength has been consumed a lot, she can still support it.
"I don't care, I've taken care of the wound, as long as I don't go too fast, it's fine. Sanmantha stood up and tried, realizing that her injuries did not interfere with her movements.
"Then let's hurry up and set off before it's completely dark!" Laura stood up and rekindled the torch that had just been extinguished.
It was getting dark, and they needed torches to light up and drive away the beasts, and Laura remembered the warning signs she had seen not long ago.
For Laura's decision, of course, Louis will not refuse, he is more curious about what Matthias will do in the face of this situation?
Or do you continue to pretend to be a good person and lurk around everyone waiting for a better opportunity?
Soon Louis knew Matthias's choice, and not long after everyone took their luggage and set off, Louis spotted the trap in advance, allowing Laura to avoid an unlucky injury, he noticed Matthias behind him, and slipped away quietly while everyone's attention was on the trap.
"What about Matthias?" When Sanmantha and Laura stopped wondering who had placed the trap and were about to continue on their way, Sanmantha was the first to notice that Matthias was missing.
"Could it be that the beasts have attacked you?" said Laura, handing the torch to Sanmantha, taking off her bow and arrows, and cautiously surveying her surroundings.
"No, he left on his own. Louis looked at the ground with makeup, and thanks to the continuous rainy weather, there would be clear footprints on the ground: "Do you see these footprints? β
"Why did he leave quietly?"
"I don't know, but the identity of this Matthias is probably not as simple as he introduced himself. Seeing that Sanmantha and Laura were both looking at him, Louis pointed to the path they had walked when they came, and then pointed to the direction in which Matthias had left: "These footprints were left by Matthias, have you noticed the problem?"
Sanmantha is a simple scholar, and of course she can't find any problems;
Laura, unlike Laura, who had learned a lot from her father and Captain Ross in addition to her normal archaeological studies at school and at home, soon discovered the information revealed: Matthias's footprints were one foot deep and one shallow on the road they had traveled before, while Matthias's footprints when he left were the same depth.
"His leg was not injured, he was deliberately pretending to be injured. β
What is the purpose of an unidentified man who deliberately pretends to be a cripple on such a desert island to approach Sanmantha, and then suddenly disappears?
"Isn't he a victim like us?" Sanmantha's mind was full of questions, wondering why Matthias was pretending to be injured, why he approached him and then left suddenly, what was he trying to do, and what was his identity?
Louis didn't give any answers, he had given enough clues that anyone with a normal IQ would be able to realize that something was wrong with Matthias.
Now that guy wants to take Sanmantha with only force - maybe Matthias realized this and chose to leave, right?
"We have to be more careful on the road ahead and don't know what to expect. Louie pulled out the Black Hawk again, and he was using this way to remind the two young girls that the situation was not rosy, and they both mentioned the spirit of twelve.
Louis also raised his spirits, by this time, the plot has been messed up by him, and he doesn't know what will happen next, although he will not meet the Storm Guardian in a short time, and Queen Himiko who understands mysterious powers, but Louis does not want to make a fool of himself in the hands of ordinary people.
I don't want to be messed around by a group of beasts, and I even want to pretend to be a good force!
When the wolf jumped into the air and pounced on Louie, Louie, who had already noticed the approach of a wild wolf and had super reflexes, had already raised the black hawk in his hand and calmly aimed at his side: the wild wolf just rushed out and jumped in front of the black hawk's gun.
Boom!
The gunfire of the black eagle was very loud, even if it was windy and rainy, it could not cover the huge gunshot, and the gunfire was accompanied by the corpse of the wild wolf that was directly blown away, and the unlucky wild wolf didn't even have time to scream.
At this time, Sanmantha behind her realized what had happened: they had been attacked by a wild wolf!
Laura's reaction was much quicker than Sanmantha's, and when the wolf rushed out, she had already drawn her arrow and put it on the bowstring, but before she could shoot it, the wolf had already been killed by Louis with a single shot.
But Laura's quick reflexes gave her a chance to shoot the second wolf.
The other wolf actually killed from the opposite direction, that is, the opposite direction that Louie was aiming at, and instead of jumping high, he lowered his body and bit Louie's calf.
After Laura noticed the wolf, she changed direction in time and shot the arrow in her hand, hitting the wolf's neck accurately.
"Nice shot. Louie glanced back at the wolf, it didn't die immediately, but it was only a matter of time, and the wolf had lost its mobility, so Louie stopped paying attention and focused on the dark grass on either side.
I don't know if it was a neat killing of the two wild wolves, which made the other wild wolves realize that this group of people is not easy prey to deal with, so they chose to retreat.
Louis and Laura waited cautiously for a while, but still did not wait for the third wolf.
"It seems that the other wolves have left. Louis did not retract the Black Hawk into his holster, and continued to hold the gun in one hand and the torch in the other.
"I'm really fed up with this place and wish I could get out of here sooner. β
Hearing Laura's complaints, Louie thought in his heart, 'Where is this?', compared to the various situations that will be encountered later, this situation is at most a novice tutorial to help Laura find her feelings.
It was the various magical experiences encountered on this island that allowed Laura to grow into a powerful adventurer in such a short period of time, and Louis didn't know if she could quickly awaken those talents by being so stirred up by herself?
Thinking in their hearts, the three of them continued to walk towards the meeting place mentioned by Rose.
In order to get a better signal, Captain Ross ran to a higher place, and the rendezvous point given was also on the mountain, and the reference was the ruins of a village, which was not difficult to find.
The unexpected trouble was that the village-like ruins seemed to be a little too lively, with a large number of people walking back and forth, all armed with weapons in their hands.
"Who are these?" Hiding in the bushes, Laura didn't know what to do now, and her first instinct was to ask Louie.
"I don't know, maybe it's the other victims?" replied Laura, not Louie, but Sanmantha.
There are many wrecks of shipwrecked ships on the beach, and there are various aircraft wrecks on the island, plus he and Louis were all shipwrecked on the island, which seems to be a very reasonable explanation.
But she didn't expect that there were so many victims on the island, and it seemed that these people seemed to be united, but these people didn't seem to be very easy to deal with, and the appearance of each of them carrying weapons made Sanmantha and Laura uneasy.
"Let's get around the side!" Laura looked at her surroundings, not prepared to come into contact with them.
If she had only known Louis and had not met Matthias, perhaps Laura would have tried to make contact with these strangers, and perhaps she would have been able to ask for more information about the island from these 'seniors'.
Now that Matthias had become a little wary of the strangers on the island, she remembered the strange man who had knocked her unconscious and caught her in the cave, was that guy with the group, and Matthias, was he an accomplice of these people, and what was the purpose of approaching Sanmantha?
Laura felt that the whole island was revealing a strange feeling, but with the information she had so far, she couldn't figure anything out.
"Maybe we can ask these people, what's going on here?" Compared to Laura, who has regained her vigilance, Sanmantha is still more naΓ―ve, thinking that everyone is a victim and maybe they can cooperate?
Her suggestion was rejected by Laura, and Sanmantha did not insist, and honestly followed Laura around the ruins from the outside, and continued to the meeting point.
The road was smooth and there were no more troubles. However, when they arrived at the meeting point, they happened to see Captain Conrad Ross besieged by wolves, and when Ross was about to be bitten by a wolf, Louis raised his hand and shot the wolf dead, saving Captain Ross from the wolf's mouth.
Raising his hand and firing a few more shots, he directly killed all the wild wolves around him, and by the way, he snatched back the backpack that was almost taken away by the wild wolves, which contained medicine, food, and most importantly, a flare gun.
Louie, who was carrying a backpack, suddenly thought of a question: "Hey, can Laura still get a mountaineering axe in this way?"
