Big single player

Perhaps because of hearing Samantha's shout and continuous gunshots, Laura was worried about the safety of Lu Qi and Samantha. Instead of going far, Laura went around the woods and came back again.

As soon as she got close to the battlefield, she happened to see Lu Qi being set on fire. Without thinking too much, she subconsciously drew her bow and set an arrow, and shot down an enemy hiding behind a tree.

Seeing that the other side had reinforcements joining them, the remaining three Solari fighters immediately lost their confidence in continuing to fight.

Originally, the other party had killed ten people on his side by himself, and now there is another one, so how can we fight? !

Not caring about whether they would be punished by Matthias if they fled back like this, the remaining three turned around and ran away, wanting to escape from this land of death stained with their own blood.

However, it was too late when he thought of running away...

call out!

Another shot!

With a muffled grunt, the last enemy fell down in response.

Glancing at the pitch-black crossbow on the enemy's back, and confirming that the opponent was dead, Lu Qi put down the crossbow in his hand, and shouted in the direction of the woods:

"Laura, it's safe to come out now..."

With the rustling sound, Laura, holding a simple bow and arrow, came out of the woods.

"Thank God!"

As soon as she came out, Laura hugged Lu Qi deeply without saying a word.

Lu Qi, who was a little confused, reacted immediately, patted Laura's back lightly with his hand, and said softly:

"It's okay, it's okay..."

After letting go, Laura's brown eyes scanned Lu Qiquan's body up and down, and asked with concern:

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

Looking down at the sporadic bloodstains on his abdomen, Lu Qi found that his gunshot wound had already recovered under the effect of breathing back blood.

Aside from the bullet holes in his clothes, he has nothing but...

"It's okay, it's just some skin trauma. Didn't I tell you to run away, why are you back?"

"I was worried about you, so I came back."

After all, Laura seemed to think of something, frowned suddenly, looked around, and then asked:

"By the way, where's Samantha?"

"She was captured by Matthias..."

Before Lu Qi could finish speaking, Laura became anxious and interrupted: "Then what should we do? We have to save her!"

"Yes. But, before that, we have to meet up with Reyes."

"You just heard that people like Matthias, who claim to be the subjects of the Queen of the Sun, are they Solaris. Although we know that they are evil people from Xie Cultists, Reyes and the others don't know. So, we have to After explaining the situation to Reyes and the others, we will go rescue people together."

After listening to Lu Qi's explanation, Laura calmed down.

"Then what should we do now? Just stay here and wait stupidly?"

"Let's clean up the battlefield first, and search these people for maps and other things, so that we can grasp the enemy's intelligence..."

"All right..."

After that, the two separated and began to touch the corpse knife

For things like touching corpses, Lu Qi never takes it as a shameful thing.

After all, killing enemies and obtaining loot is a very normal practice...

From the body of a small leader of Solari, Lu Qi found the first antique since the expedition: a hollowed out black lacquered cage.

Yinlong, a kimono accessory unique to neon, was originally a container for storing seals, but in the Edo period it evolved into a container for storing medicines around the waist.

Judging from the fading of the relief on the surface of the Yinlong, this small and exquisite lacquerware handicraft is at least more than 300 years old!

The reason why he knows this is entirely because of his diligent study.

During the month on the Endurance, Lu Qi crammed a lot of relevant knowledge about neon ancient times, so that after arriving at Yamatai, he would not see valuable antiques and not know their precious value.

Throwing the seal cage into the item space, Lu Qi touched the enemy's corpse with more motivation...

It's a pity that Lu Qi never found any more valuable antiques, whether it's because the status of these Solaris fighters is too low, or because they all hid good things at home.

Instead, they found a crude hand-painted map, which could give them a general understanding of the terrain and environment of the entire island.

Just when he was about to share the good news with Laura, he realized that Laura was standing motionless behind a big tree.

"Laura?"

shouted, and got no response.

When Lu Qi approached and saw the enemy's corpse with a simple arrow stuck in his chest behind the big tree, he couldn't help blinking his eyes, and suddenly understood.

He remembered now that this expedition was only Laura's first.

In other words, the arrow just now was the first time Laura killed someone!

Looking at the silent Laura, Lu Qi just put his hands on her shoulders silently, and then comforted her:

"I know how it feels. I know it must be hard for you..."

Hearing this, Laura, with drooping brows and eyes, stared at the sharp arrow on the corpse's chest, and said in a low voice:

"The scary thing is, it's not hard to kill at all..."

Hearing Laura's words, Lu Qi couldn't help but feel relieved, and made an assessment of Laura's current state:

Fortunately, the mood is still stable, at least he will answer aloud.

"Yes, killing people is not difficult at all. The difficulty is how to face yourself after killing people."

While speaking, Lu Qi put his hands on Laura's shoulders, turned her body around, and faced himself.

Seeing Laura's dazed and unbearable appearance, Lu Qi pursed his lips and said seriously:

"Listen, Laura, I've killed people when I had to. But, I know, I did it to protect myself, to protect the people I cherish."

"If I could do it all over again, I would still choose to do that! There will be no hesitation or regret!"

"And you killed this enemy to save me. So, you did nothing wrong, instead, you did the right thing!"

Lu Qi's words were full of persuasiveness, which eased the fear and guilt of taking other people's lives for the first time in Laura's heart, and the inexplicable vomiting that had appeared before gradually subsided.

However, deep doubts still linger in her mind, making her ask:

"However, no matter what reason I have, I still killed him and took his life...What is the difference between me like this and them?"

Looking directly at Laura's eyes eager for answers, Lu Qi's eyes were fixed, and he said loudly:

"Of course it's different!"

"They kill people for the sole purpose of killing people; while you kill people for saving people. How can this be compared?!"

"Laura, as long as you abide by the bottom line in your heart, don't cross the line, and don't indulge in the pleasure of that moment, then you will still be you."

"Remember, we are different from these murderers!"

Chapter 268 Separate Actions

Originally, this trip to Yamatai would be the key to Laura's sharpening and growth.

On the small island, in the process of fighting alone with Solari, Laura saw the style of the ancient ruins, saw the crazy cultists, and even saw Himiko's shaman spell...

It is these precious experiences that created the appearance of the future "Tomb Supergirl".

The appearance of Lu Qi, although she does not have to face all kinds of threats on the island alone.

However, in the first battle with Solari, she still experienced a profound lesson that she must face in adventures: killing people!

Fortunately, in a sense, Lu Qi, who has experienced something similar to Laura, has the most say in this situation.

Because, he has also experienced this kind of thing...

Lu Qi's first murder was in a gang fight when he first became a hot-blooded rogue.

At that time, in order to compete for territory, Lu Qi and Shen Wei, who was lurking inside the triad, followed the boss Winston to start a movie with other gangs.

It started to rain heavily.

Lu Qi followed the super capable Shen Wei to fish for fish, euphemistically called "protecting his back", and carried the audience all the way.

However, no matter how skilled you are, you are still afraid of kitchen knives.

Such an arrogant thug, Shen Wei, was soon surrounded by five or six gangsters holding watermelon knives.

In order to protect Lu Qi beside him, Shen Wei couldn't use all his kung fu and could only be beaten passively.

In order to break the situation, Lu Qi became ruthless, picked up a glass bottle, and smashed it on the head of a small gangster.

The opponent fell to the ground on the spot, his head was bleeding, and he lay motionless on the ground.

It's funny to say, if Shen Wei hadn't reacted quickly enough later, pulled him up with a bewildered face, and left the scene quickly, Lu Qi might have been caught in the prison by the note who came to wipe his ass, and squat for ten or eight years. ...

After reading the news, Lu Qi found out that this gang fight had many wounded, but only one person died.

And that person is the little gangster whose head was blown off by a glass bottle...

Under the enlightenment of Lu Qi combined with his personal experience, Laura quickly cheered up and put all these unworthy problems behind her.

Originally, deep down in her heart, she was not the kind of weak woman whose hands would tremble when she killed a chicken.

The adventures and education she received since she was a child gave Laura enough resilience to stress, and she was mentally prepared for all kinds of emergencies encountered during the adventure.

Coupled with the fact that Lu Qi, who had been here, was there to explain, Laura quickly passed the negative emotional period of fear of murder and guilt, and her psychological quality was strengthened a lot.

The two sat and rested by the campfire. Laura looked at Lu Qi and said sincerely:

"Thank you, Lu Qi, I feel better..."

Hearing this, Lu Qi was taken aback for a moment, then raised his head and smiled at Laura, "No problem, you saved my life..."

. . .

After cleaning the battlefield and gathering all the weapons, Lu Qi and Laura finally waited for Reyes and others who had arrived late.

In addition to Reyes and the others, Mr. Green, the helmsman of the Endurance, also joined them on the way.

Except for Samantha who was captured and Rose who was alone, the survivor team has grown to seven.

At first, Reyes and the others thought they had come to the wrong place when they saw corpses all over the ground.

It wasn't until Lu Qi and Laura explained in turn that they grasped the ins and outs of the whole thing.

What surprised them was not that the island under their feet was part of the Yamatai Kingdom, but that Lu Qi, who was usually gentle and friendly, single-handedly killed more than a dozen cultists without any injuries!

Unknowingly, everyone looked at Lu Qi with a little more awe.

While others were concerned about whether Lu Qi and Laura were injured, Whitman was more concerned about the good news that they had found Yamatai.

Pulling off the clothes of a Solari warrior corpse and seeing the sun logo painted on its chest, Whitman stood up very excitedly, looked at Laura, blushing:

"Laura, you are right! Yamatai is really within the Dragon Triangle, and we are standing on the land of the lost kingdom at this very moment!"

"And those crazy cultists, all worshipers of Himiko, the Queen of the Sun... Oh, no doubt, we'll bring back amazing stories!"

As soon as the voice fell, Laura interrupted Whitman's excited speech with cold words:

"Doctor, the premise is that we must go back alive..."

Reyes, who was on the side, was also very dissatisfied with Whitman's lack of vision: "Whitman, this is not the time for archaeology! We have to join Rose quickly and save Samantha!"

After being glared at by everyone, Whitman finally came to his senses, raised his glasses in embarrassment, and closed his mouth in a sensible manner.

At this time, Lu Qi seized the initiative in a timely manner and said:

"Everyone look here!"

While speaking, he took out the self-made map seized from the enemy, spread it on the ground, pointed to the area in the southwest of the map marked with the words "Coastal Forest", and said:

"According to the orientation of the island, we are probably here."

Seeing that everyone was listening quietly, Lu Qi moved his finger and clicked on the red star in the center of the map, "And here should be Solari's base camp. Samantha was probably brought there by Matthias!" "

"What are your plans?" Reyes asked.

"In my opinion, instead of acting together and being wiped out by the enemy, it is better to act separately, which is more convenient to act in this way."
