Just when Ross and others were worried about the safety of Lu Qi and Laura, just ten minutes later, Laura's voice sounded again on the intercom:

"Ross, where were we?"

Hearing this, Ross on the other side immediately let go of his heart, and then asked: "Oh! Thank you...Laura, what happened just now? Are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's just that those Solari bastards discovered it. We have already dealt with them."

"You have already met the enemy?! Why didn't you wait for us?"

Having long expected that Ross would ask this question, Laura directly expressed her thoughts:

"We can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, I'm afraid Matthias will take action against Samantha in advance. We must do this!"

Although he was very concerned about Samantha's safety, Ross didn't want Laura to put herself in danger, so he couldn't help but persuade her:

"But, that would be too dangerous! The palace is the base camp of the enemy. There must be a large number of people. There are only two of you..."

However, Laura at this time is no longer the somewhat unconfident Laura she was when she first went to sea.

After various experiences on the island, the soul of adventure in her body, the self-confidence and bravery inherited from the Crawford family and other excellent qualities have been completely awakened!

She, Lara Croft, is fearless!

Before Ross could finish, she interrupted loudly:

"This is different from the pilot, Rose."

"A large part of the reason why Samantha was kidnapped was because of me. This is the responsibility I must bear!"

"What's more, I have made an agreement with her that I will save her..."

Even through the intercom, Ross and others on the other side could hear the firmness and unquestionability in Laura's words.

As for Laura's growth, Ross, who watched her grow up, clearly felt the changes.

After a moment of silence, Ross seemed to be subdued and asked softly:

"Okay, Laura, please be patient, we will go over to support you soon."

"We will..."

After putting the walkie-talkie back on her waist, Laura looked at Lu Qi aside and asked:

"What should we do next?"

After hearing this, Lu Qi, who was looking up, immediately raised his right hand, pointed at the bridge between the two guard pavilions, and said in a deep voice::

"We have to find a way to get up there!"

...

Most of the buildings in the slums were built by Solari's organization.

In addition, they also repaired various facilities left behind by the Neon Army in the 1990s, including some transportation facilities.

After passing through the slums, Lu Qi and Laura saw a ropeway built in mid-air and a series of moving cable cars.

"It's incredible..."

"These facilities should be left over from the Neon Army during World War II..."

Using the up-and-down cable car, Lu Qi and Laura headed all the way up to the guard tower on the top of the mountain.

During this period, the two men once again encountered a group of scattered enemies at the transportation facility.

However, apart from replenishing ammunition for Lu Qi and Laura, these miscellaneous fish did not cause any harm to them.

Moreover, Lu Qi also noticed a problem from the enemy's several attacks, that is - the number of enemies appearing was getting smaller and smaller.

In the slums, Lu Qi and Laura killed about twenty enemies, and when they came to the transportation facility, they killed another dozen.

In total, there are more than forty people!

This means that there shouldn't be too many enemies left in Solari.

But it also means that the remaining enemies should all be concentrated in the palace, waiting for their arrival...

...

Just as the two of them had just climbed onto a certain platform, a strange male voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie hanging on Laura's waist:

"This is the rescue helicopter n888rc, responding to the distress signal. It is coming from the Holy Trinity. Please reply when you receive it."

In order to facilitate communication with each other, Laura had already set the walkie-talkie to the public channel so that she could receive news from the International Rescue Channel at any time.

After hearing the news, Ross, who was on his way on the other side, immediately responded:

"I'm Captain Conrad Ross of the Endurance, can you hear me?"

After waiting for a while, there was no response from the other side of the communication channel, only current noise and interference.

Even so, a bit of excitement can be heard in Ross's words:

"Laura, Lu Qi, did you hear that? The rescue helicopter is coming!"

"This is really great news!"

Unlike Laura and Rose, Lu Qi on the side did not think this was good news.

The horrific scene of the rescue plane being shot down by lightning is still vivid in my mind.

At least until Himiko is killed, they won't be able to use any means of transportation to leave the island.

After all, he didn't want to get on a helicopter that was destined to be struck by lightning...

In this communication message, what made Lu Qi even more concerned was a rather special name mentioned by the rescue team - Holy Trinity!

Holy Trinity, if you are a game player who has played the "Tomb Raider" reboot trilogy, you will be familiar with this name.

This is a very mysterious organization with huge resources and manpower, mainly dedicated to the exploration and collection of various supernatural powers.

According to the information Lu Qi learned from personally completing the "Tomb Raider" reboot trilogy, the history of Holy Trinity can be traced back to the seventh or eighth century, or even longer.

Moreover, there is also a certain connection between the Holy Trinity and the death of Laura's father.

Yes, Holy Trinity is the biggest villain in the entire "Tomb Raider" world!

However, Laura and others did not know this at this time.

They are just happy that they will be able to take a helicopter and escape from the island...

Just as Lu Qi's thoughts were drifting away, Laura had already made a simple plan:

"Ross, when you arrive near the palace, immediately send a signal for the helicopter to come here."

"After Lu Qi and I rescued Samantha, we all took a helicopter together and left this ghost place..."

At this time, Laura still didn’t know the secret hidden on this island.

She still simply thought that as long as she rescued Samantha, everyone could leave this strange island...

After ending the communication, they followed a rope and continued climbing up. The two finally reached the Xingshou Pavilion at the top of the mountain.

And they are only a long wooden bridge away from the majestic garrison where the palace is located.

A cursory glance revealed that there were quite a few guards on the bridge, at least a dozen of them.

This wooden bridge is the only way to the palace.

In other words, they must fight across this bridge to reach the palace!

For two people who stand in the way of gods and kill gods, and Buddhas who stand in the way of killing Buddhas, this is not a difficult choice.
Chapter completed!
