Chapter two hundred and sixty-five
The bonfire located in the center of [58 Novels www.58xs.info] is still burning brightly.
The dim firelight reflected on Matthias' sinister face, making it look particularly evil.
Looking at Lu Qi who was still calm, Matthias suddenly asked:
"Boy, I'm curious, how did you see that? I think my acting skills are pretty good..."
"I'm just more cautious when it comes to trusting others..."
Lu Qi's calm answer actually made Matthias look at him and couldn't help but nodded, just like a teacher praising outstanding students:
"Yes, I appreciate your caution. However, your approach is a bit reckless..."
As he spoke, Matthias opened his arms and showed his strength to Lu Qi and the others, speaking in an aggressive tone:
"Originally, if you had been obedient, this situation wouldn't have happened..."
Hearing this, Lu Qi glanced at the enemies around him, and the corner of his mouth curled up coldly:
"At least I took off your false mask and revealed your true face, right?"
At this time, Samantha, who had been deceived, asked her doubts:
"Who the hell are you?!"
Hearing this, Matthias abandoned Lu Qi and turned to look at Samantha, his eyes determined with a hint of madness:
"As I said just now, my name is Matthias and I am a teacher. However, what I spread is not knowledge, but the will of Sun Queen Himiko!"
"We are the people of the Sun Queen, Solari!"
Listening to the other party's self-introduction like a cult, except for Lu Qi, who already knew it, Samantha and Laura on the side showed surprised expressions in unison.
Sun Queen? Himihu? Solari?
In her mind, recalling the sun logo she saw in caves and bunkers, Laura couldn't help but ask:
"Did you draw those sun signs painted everywhere? Could it be that this is the legendary Yamatai Kingdom?!"
"Yes, the land you are standing on is Yamatai! The place where the Sun Queen shines!"
Hearing this, a flash of understanding flashed in Laura’s eyes.
Laura thought she would be very excited if she found the legendary lost kingdom. However, at this moment, she couldn't be happy at all.
Perhaps it was because he and his companions were being surrounded by a group of cult members who claimed to be people of the Sun Queen...
"Originally, many people, even myself, were extremely doubtful whether we could find her. But in the end, the great Himiko brought the key to herself and us!"
Saying unintelligible words, Matthias suddenly reached out and grabbed Samantha's arm and pulled her up from the ground.
In pain, Samantha couldn't help shouting:
"ah!"
"Samantha!"
Seeing this, Laura on the side felt tense and wanted to rush to Matthias to rescue her best friend from the evil bald man.
However, as soon as she took half a step, a bearded man standing in the encirclement raised the pistol in his hand and pointed it at Laura:
"Don't move! If you don't want to die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the other enemies all aimed their weapons at Lu Qi and Laura.
Seeing this, Lu Qi took half a step forward, stretched out his hand to stop the impulsive Laura, and protected her behind him.
After shaking his head at Laura to calm down, Lu Qi then looked at Matthias and said in a deep voice:
"Matthias, what do you want?"
Matthias, who had achieved his goal, seemed to have lost interest in talking. He waved his hand and said:
"No matter how much I tell you, it's useless. You won't understand... tie them up and take them back to the base!"
After that, the two nearby Solari soldiers walked towards Lu Qi and Laura with ropes in hand and sinister smiles on their faces.
Seeing the situation take a turn for the worse, Lu Qi looked calm and just took half a step back, lowered his head to Laura behind him, and reminded:
"Follow my instructions!"
Before Laura could react, Lu Qi exerted force on his feet and jumped out!
Lu Qi's move was beyond the expectations of everyone present, so that everyone's reaction was half a beat too slow.
Lu Qi used his left hand to pull the Solari warrior in front of him into his arms, twisting his body and turning to face forward, acting as a human shield.
Immediately afterwards, he pulled out a pistol from the holster on the opponent's right thigh, slammed it into his temple, and shouted:
"If you don't want him to die, let us get out of here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Qi's answer was all kinds of weapons aimed at him!
Regarding Lu Qi's small resistance, Matthias grinned and applauded Lu Qi:
"Bah bang bang... Lu Qi, right? Your skills are very good. Now I believe you have served in the army..."
After that, his eyes moved to the Solari warrior held hostage by Lu Qi:
"Brother, we will all remember your sacrifice. The Queen of the Sun will guide your soul to enter the paradise kingdom of the dead, don't worry..."
Hearing this, Lu Qi couldn't help but feel nervous, turned around suddenly, and shouted to Laura:
"Laura, run!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Matthias' expression suddenly changed and he waved his hand:
"Fire!"
Following the leader's order, all Solari warriors, regardless of the safety of their companions, directly attacked Lu Qi and Laura!
Bullets and sharp arrows struck instantly!
The Solari warrior, who was blocked in front of Lu Qi and acted as a human shield, was beaten into a sieve and turned into a bloody corpse before he even had time to scream.
Bang bang bang!
After firing a few random shots, Lu Qi casually pushed out the human shield, braved the hail of bullets, rolled forward sideways, and dashed into the woods on one side.
There happened to be an enemy standing with a submachine gun in his hand!
Seeing Lu Qi close at hand, the opponent was about to raise his gun and shoot, but the faster Lu Qi took the opportunity.
Lu Qi, who was well prepared, swung his right hand from bottom to top, and a black flying knife, like a ghost, was inserted into his throat with a whoosh!
Immediately afterwards, he grabbed the submachine gun from his hand, turned around and fired!
Ta da da...
In an instant, bullets shot out and flew everywhere, scaring the enemy into hiding and not daring to show up.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Qi slid forward and quickly hid behind a large rock.
The whole process was thrilling!
If he hadn't used Hawkeye to make a breakout plan in advance, coupled with his excellent physical fitness, he might have been beaten like the unlucky Solari warrior...
Hiding behind the stone, Lu Qi's chest rose and fell slightly, while breathing heavily, he cursed in his heart:
I fucking knew it!
Although he had long known that the value of the hostages in his hands was not enough to allow them to leave safely, he still underestimated Matthias.
He didn't expect that Matthias would be so ruthless and order the fire without saying a word, in front of his men.
Others, completely ignoring the friendship between their companions, took action directly.
