Chapter 125: True Fragrance
The cold rain slapped on his face, and Louie's heart and the cold rain blended together...... Raising his hand to wipe his face, Louis looked at his surroundings with a wave of unhappiness.
"It's the jungle again!"
The jungle was unpleasant, and it was raining, but Louie now had storage gear, all the important stuff was in it, and the leather jacket he wore was waterproof and warm.
After looking left and right, Louie decided to put the red light matter aside for now, and then think about the red light after completing this task, it is better to find a place to shelter from the rain first.
Because it was in the woods, it was still raining, and the sky was gloomy, Louis could not judge the current time, so he could only be sure that it was not night.
After walking for a while, I saw a cliff in front of me, and a section of the mountain wall happened to be recessed into, which was an excellent shelter from the wind and rain.
Louis walked a few quick steps to the recess of the stone wall, took out a towel and wiped his face and hair.
"I don't know what world I've arrived in this time...... wiping his face while checking this mission, all he gets is one sentence: escape from the island.
"Escape from the island? So I'm on the island now?" Such a mission often means that there are threats on the islands, and it is not known which one is the case.
After drying his face and hair, Louis picked up dry branches, dead grass, and stones from the surrounding area, and lit a campfire with a lighter.
"Let's see when the rain stops!" Sitting by the campfire and looking at the rain that flowed down the stone wall and eventually merged into a curtain of water, Louis didn't want to wander around on an unknown island in the wind and rain, he was going to wait for the rain to stop and go to a high place, to find out the general situation first, and then decide how to leave the island.
"The mission description is to escape, and it certainly won't be that simple......"
Louie didn't have much weaponry on him, only a lightsaber and a Black Hawk and a matching magazine, and although he had plenty of time to collect new equipment in the Pacific Rim world, he was more likely to collect technical information, notebooks, solar generators, samples of some alloy materials, and a lot of food, and weapons or anything else.
At this moment, Louie heard a voice next to him, and immediately took out the black eagle and held it in his hand, stood up and stared at the low place on the side: this recessed position into the mountain wall, only the area where Louis was staying was relatively high, which could make people stand up straight without worrying about bumping their heads.
On both sides of the side are absolute 'walls', while on the other side are 'gaps' that gradually become low and must be lowered to pass. Louie just wanted to wait for the rain to stop and then look around, and he hadn't checked what was going on over there.
At this time, a voice came, I wonder if it was a beast or something else?
The answer was soon revealed, and it was not a beast that came out of the low, but a man! a young girl shivering from the cold in a vest, shivering from the cold, and a wound in her waist and abdomen.
As soon as the young girl walked in, she saw Louie with a pistol, and was so frightened that she raised her hands to signal that she did not threaten anything: "Don't shoot." ”
"I'm sorry, I thought some beast was coming. Louis was a little surprised to put the hand holding the gun down, but quickly returned to normal.
He had already recognized the girl in front of him: Laura Crawford.
In Louie's previous life, he was a world-famous archaeologist, adventurer, and demolition expert, and was extremely popular all over the world, even if she was a fictional game character.
Louis saw the living Laura Crawford, and in connection with the environment at this time, and the fact that the Laura in front of him had a ponytail instead of the waist-length braid, and was wearing tank top pants instead of tank top hot pants, it was certain that the young Laura in front of him was a reboot.
In line with the surrounding environment, this is clearly a reboot of the scene from the beginning of the work.
The rebooted version of Laura is not yet the combat-ready goddess of war, the newly graduated archaeologist who has just embarked on her first adventure before she and her partner are shipwrecked.
The hapless Laura managed to swim to the shore, but before she could join her companions, she was knocked unconscious by someone who knew what to do, and then tied up in a cave and hung upside down.
Laura struggled to break free from the fetters, managed to escape from the strange pursuit, escaped from the cave, and then came to this place for a short rest.
The plot of this rebooted Tomb Raider is not complicated, that is, Laura and her companions, in order to find the legendary kingdom of Yamatai, encountered a shipwreck and came to this island, and then were trapped on the island by the mysterious power contained on the island and could not leave.
If they want to leave the island, they must defeat the queen of Himiko on the island and break Himiko's spells, otherwise anyone who comes to or approaches the island will not be able to leave the island.
No matter what method you use, whether you take a boat or a plane, you will be attacked by all kinds of strange phenomena until you die or abandon the island.
In addition to Himiko, the queen of Yamadai, and the undead samurai who work for her called the Storm Guardians, there is another group: the Brotherhood of the Sun.
This Brotherhood of the Sun is an organization composed of people who have come to the island for many years due to various accidents and ended up stranded on the island.
Under the guidance of the leader Matthias, the Brotherhood of the Sun decided that they would not be able to leave the place until they found a suitable sacrifice to resurrect Queen Himiko.
As soon as a woman appears on the island, she is captured by the Brotherhood of the Sun for a sacrificial ceremony.
Therefore, in this generation of works, Laura, as the protagonist, in addition to finding a way to escape from the island, another main mission is to rescue her friend Sanmansha, who was captured as a sacrifice and confirmed to be the reincarnation vessel of Queen Himiko.
The plot is not complicated, and the works of this generation are highly rated, and Louis cleared the customs (cloud clearance) several times, and it is easy to remember most of the content.
"No wonder the mission is to escape from the island...... The island is indeed not so easy to leave. ”
After meeting the heroine Laura Crawford and determining where she is, Louis understands the content of the mission and knows what to do to complete the mission.
Looking up again, Laura, a very immature archaeologist, was standing there trembling with her arms crossed, glancing at the fire next to Louis from time to time, thinking about it and worrying about causing Louis to be dissatisfied.
"Come over and make a fire. Louie took out a first-aid kit, which was the size of a palm, containing hemostatic powder and bandages: "The wound on your waist also needs to be treated." ”
"Thank you. Seeing that Louis didn't mind going over, Laura immediately walked to the fire, and was roasted by the hot bonfire, and most of the cold on her body was instantly dispelled, as if her frozen body was rejuvenated: "My name is Laura, Laura Crawford, I am an archaeologist, and I came to this island in a shipwreck. ”
"Louie. Louis handed over both the hemostatic powder and the bandage: "Need help?"
"Don't bother, I'll do it myself. ”
At this time, Laura was still a young man who had just graduated, and she did not have the rich experience to see through people's hearts, so it was easy to trust strangers.
Coupled with the sudden encounter with such big trouble, she hopes that someone can help her: Laura at this time, needless to say, is extremely immature compared with the version before the reboot.
Louie's gentleman's behavior made Laura feel good, and on such a desolate island, the other party would also take into account his own thoughts, proving that the other party was a good person, and Laura's vigilance had dissipated most of the time.
The wound was cleaned with the rainwater flowing down the mountain wall, the hemostatic powder was sprinkled on the wound, and then the wound was wrapped with a bandage.
Even without help, she was able to deal with the wound with ease.
While Laura was busy tending to the wound, Louie secretly took a backpack from the storage space, as if the backpack had been placed in the corner, but Laura didn't see it just now, so it didn't seem strange for him to take out anything.
"This coat for you to wear. ”
Knowing what kind of world it was, Louis knew how strange the island was: the climate changed without warning, and on this small island you could alternate between the heat of summer, the humidity of the rainy season, the cold of winter, and the unjustified wind and thunder.
Laura in the game can wear a small vest and run around freely in all kinds of strange environments, he doesn't think that Laura in reality can do it, she is just an ordinary person (?), in reality, she encounters such frequent and weird climate changes, and if she doesn't die, she has to fall down because of serious illness.
"Thank you!" Laura took the clothes and immediately put them on her body, plus the wound was bandaged, and the chill was dispelled by the campfire, and her whole body came to life.
The previous experience made her feel like she was in hell, and she was glad that she was able to make it through: "How did you get to this island?"
"I wanted to try to fly a plane across the Pacific Ocean, but I crashed around here and drifted to this island. ”
The experienced Louis casually made up a flawless nonsense, and by the way, he also explained why he had a lot of supplies on him, all of which were emergency supplies prepared in advance.
"Drink saliva...... Would you like something to eat?" Louis handed the kettle to Laura, and after receiving Laura's thanks again, he took the whole raw chicken out of his bag, made a simple barbecue grill out of a wooden stick, and grilled it on the campfire.
Laura saw that Louie actually took out a whole chicken and came out, and wanted to ask Louie: "Is there anything wrong with the emergency supplies you prepared?"
But when the chicken gradually changed color under the campfire, and Louis kept sprinkling spices on the chicken, the words that came out of his mouth became: "It smells so good!"
