Location: North Pacific Ocean, near the infamous Dragon Triangle

Rose, who learns that Laura is going to follow in her father's footsteps and find the lost kingdom of Yamatai, is clearly not worried about her traveling on her own.

So Rostow found a ship called "Perseverance" and several experienced sailors to set off with Laura.

Considering that she had no sailing skills, Laura did not refuse. Just find a way to leave them on the island near the destination, she is sure that she will survive, but she doesn't want innocent passers-by to give her head.

They set out from Japan and sailed at sea for three days, finally approaching their destination.

The Dragon Triangle is a dangerous place called the "Sea of Demons".

One second the sky was clear, and suddenly the dark clouds gathered, and the next second lightning and thunder began to roar, and the storm began.

The captain instructed Laura to stay in the cabin and not run around, while he and the crew cooperated to control the ship to get out of the sea as soon as possible.

Laura said sorry in her heart, put on her life jacket, put on her backpack, untied one of the three lifeboats and jumped on.

Watching the Perseverance turn away, he drifted away in the stormy waters towards a looming black shadow on the other side.

—————————

About ten minutes later, an island shrouded in torrential rain appeared in front of Laura.

In between, the sea is covered with shocking wrecks of ships, fishing boats, yachts, cruise ships, cargo ships... It is truly a veritable "ship graveyard".

Carefully avoiding the wreckage, Laura approached the shore.

About 50 meters from the shoreline, Laura found a wreck to use as cover, carried her bag into the water, and lit a signal rod to stay on the lifeboat and let it slowly drift to the shore.

With excellent lung capacity and physical strength, Laura quickly dived to a large rock on the shore.

After going ashore, she immediately used her ability to steam and dry her clothes, and then took out a piece of chocolate and put it in her mouth to replenish her strength.

At this time, the lifeboat carrying the signal baton also docked, and Laura took out the night vision binoculars that Rose had given her from the side of her backpack and observed.

Sure enough, soon two scavengers appeared in Laura's field of vision.

They were cautious at first, relying on the cover of night to go around from behind a few pieces of wreckage to the lifeboat, and when they found no one, one of them threw his signal baton on the shore and dragged the lifeboat away, while the other dodged and hid in the wreckage nearby.

Seeing this, Laura put down her binoculars, rejoiced that she was on the right track, and then left the shore under the cover of night, she had to find a safe place to stay first.

...............

Half an hour later, Laura lit a bonfire in a hidden cave.

It's relatively safe and usually won't be searched by enemies, as this natural cave was originally a wolf's den.

The aborigines were cleaned up by Laura and ran away with their tails between their legs.

The stranger who broke in seemed to them to be terrible. Obviously, they look similar to the humanoids that haunt the middle of the island, but just now they didn't talk about martial arts and the wolves went together, and they were still beaten and urinated. The head wolf vaguely remembered that the "evil spirits" in the depths of the island were also so difficult, and quickly shouted "Woo~" and turned around.

Laura baked the bonfire for a while, and when she saw that the ground near her was dry, she walked to the entrance of the cave and set up a Kramerray, returned to the campfire, sprinkled a circle of realgar powder, yawned and slept on the spot.

The next morning, after nibbling on compressed biscuits and hiding her foothold, Laura prepares to set off to explore the island.

In the movie, there are only Matthias, his thugs, and refugees on the island, and in the game, in addition to Matthias's cult "Brotherhood of the Sun", there is also the Sun Queen Himiko's escort "Storm Guard".

The "Brotherhood of the Sun" is a group of crazy cultists, whose main weapons are bows and arrows and some firearms, and they pose little threat to Laura.

The "Storm Guards" are more troublesome, a group of old zombies who have lived for an unknown amount of time by Himiko to give the curse of immortality, although they don't have hot weapons, but their powerful cold weapons are enough for Laura to drink a pot.

After spending half a day and gradually becoming familiar with the various wilderness survival techniques of the Rus' religion, Laura also visited a passing ancient tomb "Grave of the Bad People" by the way.

As the name suggests, this is the tomb of the lower class people of the Yamatai Kingdom, and of course it is impossible to have a large chest of treasure like in the game.

After exploring, Laura's long-awaited "adventurer's soul" did not move, and she could only set off to the next location with a small disappointment.

Arriving near an abandoned walled city, Laura spotted human activity, and soon followed the trail to a gathering place of the "Brotherhood of the Sun".

With the help of a telescope, Laura estimated that there were about 60 people living here, all men, most of whom were dressed as "scavengers".

Suddenly, there was a scream from the bamboo house on the edge of the settlement. Laura noticed that the others didn't react to the scream, and seemed to be used to it.

After thinking about it for a while, Laura decided to grab someone and ask about the situation. The bamboo house on the edge is a good choice.

Touching the target's vicinity, she saw through the window a bearded white man in the room torturing a small, skinny Asian man dressed more modernly.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Laura rolled to the door of the room.

The Asian man with a bruised nose and swollen face saw a woman at the door booing him, and then rushed to the back of the beard who tortured him at a very fast speed, and pointed a knife at the back of his neck.

The bearded man didn't say a word, and his eyes fell to the ground.

The Asian man was overjoyed and said to Laura in Japanese English, "Hello! My name is Aoki. Thank you for saving your life! Then please help my companion too! ”

Laura only then noticed that there was another bloody man in the corner, and quickly walked over to check her pulse and snort, and then opened her eyelids to check her lower pupils.

"I'm sorry, I didn't feel the pulse, his pupils have dilated, and he can't be helped."

Laura turned around to help Aoki loosen his ties, then pointed to the beard on the ground, and said, "I'm going to take this person away, won't you come along?" ”

After leaving the walled city, Aoki thanked Laura again, and learned from him that they had traveled with the hostess, but they also encountered an extremely sudden storm, and the yacht was washed here in a lifeboat after hitting the rock, two days earlier than himself.

After giving Aoki two packets of compressed biscuits and a box of matches, Laura dragged her unconscious beard to a mountain stream.

Tie his hands and feet with strips of cloth and a few shoelaces, and then shine a handful of cold water directly on his head.

The bearded man who was drenched saw a woman in front of him, and was about to scream when a small white hand grabbed his throat. At the same time, a sharp pain came from the thigh. When I looked closely, it was the masked woman who had plunged a dagger into his thigh.

"From now on, I ask, you answer, if you dare to play tricks, the next knife will go to the root of your thigh, and I will nod if I understand."

When the bearded man heard this, the cold sweat came down instantly, it was painful and frightened, and he nodded quickly.

Laura let go of her hand and began to ask:

"How many people are in your organization? Who is the leader? What other forces are there on the island besides you? What about armament? How many other settlements like yours are? ”

As luck would have it, this bearded man has been on the island for two years, and he knows the basics. The leader of the Brotherhood of the Sun is still Matthias, with nearly 200 people, three settlements, and the weapons are mainly homemade recurve bows and some cold weapons such as knives and sticks, and there are very few guns, and most of them are old antiques such as Baishi and flower traps from World War II.

Deep on the island, in the old palace area, there are "evil spirits", or storm guards, who will be safe and sound if they don't enter the area.

There are also new refugees recently, like the Aoki gang they are hunting for about 10 people, and three of them are the focus of arrest.

Unexpectedly, there is another force on the island, which is basically mercenaries and came here half a year. There are more than 30 people, but the fire equipment is strong, grenade launchers, M249, RPG-7 are available.

After listening to this, Laura frowned, it seems that these mercenaries are variables, but unfortunately the bearded man doesn't know their details.

The bearded man saw that the masked woman seemed to be thinking, and his right leg was about to lose sensation, so he hurriedly asked: "I've finished explaining, can you let me go now?" I swear I won't come back to trouble you. ”

Laura was interrupted from her train of thought, glanced at him, and smiled: "I'm sorry, you cult lunatics with blood on their hands and don't know how many women have been sacrificed alive, it's better to stay on this island forever." ”

After speaking, he grabbed the bearded head with both hands and twisted it.

"Click"

Looking at the beard that was no longer moving, Laura suppressed the discomfort in her heart and slowly left in the direction he pointed out the mercenary.
