Chapter two hundred and seventy-fifth where to go
Rescuing Samantha and sending a distress signal are two goals that do not conflict.
Because the wireless tower is located on the way to Solari Base.
Ross was right, the distress signal had to be sent out, because only then would a rescue team come to pick them up and leave.
Although Lu Qiming knew that no one could leave the island before killing Himihu. Even if the rescue team flew helicopters and planes to rescue them, they would be shot down by the storm controlled by Himihu.
However, he did not put forward his own point of view or raise any objection.
He knew that others would not agree with this seemingly absurd fact.
They never thought that Himihu, who had been dead for thousands of years, could still rely on powerful magic power to control the storm to block the entire island, preventing anyone from entering or leaving.
This has nothing to do with trust or vision, it is simply a collision between three perspectives and the unknown.
Until they see it with their own eyes, they will not believe that this island has supernatural powers that cannot be explained by science...
Since Ross was injured in the leg and unable to climb, this important task naturally fell on Lu Qi and Laura.
In order to recuperate from his injuries and to wait for Reyes and others to come to join him, Ross stayed in this bonfire camp.
As for Lu Qi and Laura, they set off in high spirits after sleeping for a few hours and eating some canned food brought by Lu Qi.
...
Bang!
The sharp ice pick blade was inserted into the wind and rain-eroded mountain wall and stuck firmly.
Then, use the ice ax as a fulcrum to find a foothold, use your hands and feet to climb up...
On the steep rock wall, a man surnamed Lu and a woman surnamed Lao were trying their best to climb up with their bodies pressed against the rugged surface.
Their ears were filled with the roar of the wind, and their whole bodies were being washed away by the heavy rain. Apart from their strong will, the only thing that kept them from falling was the mountaineering artifact they held tightly in their hands - the ice axe.
Five minutes ago, the two of them had just walked out of the village, and the storm that had been brewing over the island for a long time arrived as expected.
The storm, coupled with the steep terrain and harsh environmental factors, did not shake Lu Qi and Laura's determination to move forward at all.
Originally, Lu Qi’s ice ax had been given to Laura.
If Ross hadn't handed him the ice ax he carried with him, Lu Qi would have been unable to climb the slippery mountain wall calmly just by relying on his hands, feet, and [Climbing Skills Level 2].
Wow...
Glancing at the mountain waterfall just above and a wooden bridge standing in the middle of the waterfall, Lu Qi climbed up while sighing in his heart at the miraculous craftsmanship of nature.
From coastal forests, to mountain temples, and now to mountain villages, as they go up, the altitude gets higher and higher, but the surrounding ancient buildings still stand.
He could not imagine at all how the Yamatai Kingdom built these buildings in such terrain a thousand years ago.
And how do these wooden buildings persist until now without decaying...
With various random thoughts in mind, Lu Qi took the lead in climbing onto the wooden platform next to the waterfall, stepped on the simple wooden bridge in front of the waterfall, and walked to the other side of the bridge.
Laura was slightly behind, planning to wait until Lu Qi passed by before stepping onto the wooden bridge.
Perhaps it was due to years of disrepair, or perhaps it was due to some special reason. The moment Lu Qi walked to the opposite side, a sudden change occurred!
There was only a "click" sound, and the load-bearing pillars supporting the entire wooden bridge suddenly broke.
The next second, there was a "bang" sound, and the entire wooden bridge began to collapse, and a section of the bridge deck near the opposite side fell immediately.
Only half of the complete bridge deck was left, and it began to tilt forward rapidly.
And Laura is still on the bridge!
Seeing this, Lu Qi, who was standing on the other side of the bridge, his pupils suddenly dilated, and he subconsciously exclaimed:
"Laura!!!"
Appeared!
A must-have passive skill for tomb robbers - collapse wherever you go!
In the flash of lightning, Laura reacted quickly and did not choose to retreat. Instead, she accelerated her pace, like a sprint of 100 meters, stepped on the forward-inclined bridge deck, and jumped towards the opposite side of the bridge!
"Ah~~~"
With a low roar, Laura flew out.
However, after flying into the air, Laura realized that with her own jumping power, she seemed unable to jump to the opposite platform!
Just as her body began to fall, a big hand suddenly appeared and grabbed her arm!
"Got you!"
Listening to the reassuring voice and seeing Lu Qi's resolute face, Laura blinked, and there was only one thought left in her mind:
How many times has this happened?
Even Laura can’t quite remember how many times Lu Qi extended a helping hand to her...
Although Laura has a very tall figure, with bulging front and back, and a very thin waist. However, she is a petite beauty and is not too heavy.
For Lu Qi, he could easily pull him up from the cliff with one hand.
As soon as he pulled Laura up, Lu Qi's first words were the steely man's annual suicide speech:
"It's time for you to lose weight, Laura..."
Laura, who originally wanted to thank Lu Qi, heard this and immediately slapped Lu Qi on the arm, knowing it was a joke, and said coquettishly:
"It's not about weight! It's because Qiao is too old!"
The straight man who was beaten had a strong desire to survive and immediately nodded in agreement:
"Yes, yes, I think so too..."
Laura is right.
If the wooden bridge was really load-bearing, then it would have collapsed long ago when Lu Qi crossed the bridge. Why wait until the lighter Laura got on the bridge before it started to collapse?
This can only be attributed to bad luck, or some kind of special treatment of the protagonist...
Looking back at the empty place, Lu Qi couldn't help but shrugged, and then said:
"It seems we can only move forward..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Reyes's voice suddenly sounded from the yellow walkie-talkie on Laura's waist, as if it was a discussion:
"Laura, Lu Qi, are you there?"
"Here! Reyes, are you okay?"
"Fortunately, we've almost reached the meeting point. How are you doing?"
On the intercom, Laura first talked about Ross, and then continued:
"So...we're going to go to the wireless tower and try to send out a distress signal. Any suggestions?"
At this time, Alex's voice came from the other end of the intercom:
"Laura, Lu Qi, this is Alex. Listen, you have to find the communications console. It looks like an old switchboard..."
"Okay, I'll tell you after we find it."
Putting the walkie-talkie back on her waist, she looked up at the top of the tower with the red light flashing in the distance. Laura took a deep breath, and her eyes suddenly became firm:
Chapter completed!
