Chapter 337 The only confidant
Looking at the symbols on the book that were exactly the same as those on the sketch paper, Lu Qi thought for a moment and said:
"That is to say, the source of the sacred is most likely somewhere in the ruins of Kit City?"
After shaking her head, Laura said with a serious face: "I'm not sure, but there must be some connection between the two. And this is the only clue..."
"I have to go there!"
"Siberia?"
While muttering, Lu Qi seemed to be unable to resist, shrugged and spread his hands, "Then we have to dress warmly, it's not a good place for vacation..."
Hearing this, Laura was stunned for a moment, "Uh...you mean, you plan to go with me?"
"What else? I don't want you to be alone in the same place with a group of religious fanatics who are ready to kill you at any time..."
"Besides, we are the best partners, aren't we?"
Seeing the bright smile on Lu Qi's face as always, and then looking at his outstretched fist, Laura's pretty face bloomed like a flower in an instant, and then she raised her right hand and made a fist to touch it!
"certainly!"
After deciding to go together, you have to start making plans. You don’t just buy a plane ticket rashly and go to the ice and snow at dozens of degrees below zero to excavate ancient ruins...
After finding a chair and sitting down at the desk, Lu Qi immediately asked:
"Is there any record of the specific location of Kit City in your father's books?"
"No, I only know that it is probably in northeastern Siberia, but according to my investigation, it should be near this area!"
While talking, Laura took out a detailed map of Mao's country, spread it on the desk, and then used a red pen to mark an eye-catching circle in northern Siberia.
The red circle area is right at the intersection of the Chersky Mountains and the Verkhovyansk Mountains.
Siberia is famous for its vast land and sparsely populated areas. The higher the altitude, the fewer people there are. Especially in the snow-capped mountains, it is not easy to find an ancient ruin that is hidden.
In Lu Qi's mind, there was already a lonely scene of himself and Laura trudging forward in the thick snow, with not a single figure in sight all day long...
In the end, my mind was full of thoughts, but it turned into a simple echo:
"Not bad, at least the scope has been narrowed down..."
Compared to Jonah, who serves as Laura's companion in the original plot of the game, Lu Qi is much better.
If it were Jonah here, when he saw Laura's obsession with legends such as the Tomb of the Prophet and immortality, he would definitely question and try to stop Laura's crazy behavior.
However, Lu Qi would not do this.
The reason is very simple, because he knows that Laura is right, these legends are all true!
Lu Qi's supportive attitude also explains why Laura regards him as her only confidant.
Many times, trust between people is given to each other, rather than unilaterally given...
...
In the next two hours, Laura and Lu Qi began to head to Siberia, looking for the lost city of Kit, and formulated a relatively thorough plan.
Including preliminary preparation, action route, mission objectives...
The experience he learned from Lester made Lu Qi very organized in formulating plans, which made Laura look at her in a daze, as if she had just met Lu Qi on the first day.
She suddenly realized that there seemed to be nothing in the world that Lu Qi couldn't do...
"Okay, that's almost it. As for the remaining details, just slowly fill in and improve them..."
Putting down the red pen in his hand, Lu Qi looked up at the clock hanging on the wall and found that the time had unknowingly reached ten o'clock in the evening.
Feeling a little empty in his stomach, Lu Qi couldn't help turning his head to look at Laura aside and asked:
"Want to go out for something to eat? Let's grab a cup of coffee to refresh ourselves..."
Hearing this, Laura shook her head, walked straight to the bookshelf, and responded casually:
"Go ahead, I'm not hungry. I also want to look through my father's research to see if I can further narrow down the specific location of Kit City..."
"Okay, can I bring you something to drink, double-strength black coffee?"
"Um."
Not long after Lu Qi left the study, the roar of a motorcycle gradually faded away from the window...
And Laura was the only one left in the entire huge study.
After an unknown amount of time, I found another book recording the ancient history of Siberia from the bookshelf. Laura then returned to the desk and began to collect the research materials scattered on the floor.
Just when she squatted down, a "squeak" sound suddenly came from behind her.
Hearing the sound of the door opening and the footsteps that followed, Laura did not look back, but just said casually:
"Why are you back so soon? Is the cafe on the corner not open?"
However, Laura didn't get any response.
Just when Laura was confused, she happened to see the scene behind her through the reflection of the laptop screen:
The person who came was not Lu Qi, but a strange man holding a gun!
With a shiver in her heart, Laura reacted immediately!
I saw her clenching the laptop in her hand, turning around suddenly, and using the laptop in her hand, she hit the man in the face so hard that he staggered.
"drink!"
Then, he took half a step forward, suddenly raised his leg and kicked his wrist, kicking away the opponent's most threatening firearm!
However, as soon as he completed this series of actions, the other party reacted quickly, reached out and grabbed Laura's neck, pressed forward hard, trying to use the man's advantage to suppress Laura.
However, Laura is not that easy to deal with.
After coming back, Laura, who felt deeply that her fighting ability was insufficient, went to the boxing club to sign up for a course. In addition to learning boxing, she also learned some close combat skills.
Grabbing the opponent's arm with both hands, twisting around, pressing down hard, and easily breaking free from the opponent's restraint.
Although skills can make up for the strength gap between men and women to a certain extent, the opponent's close combat level is obviously higher than Laura's.
After being accidentally attacked at the beginning, the man quickly regained the initiative.
The two people who were struggling together collided with the desk nearby, making a "bang" sound. Then, when they were slightly separated, the man kicked Laura in the abdomen and knocked her to the ground.
"Um!"
With a muffled groan, Laura felt a burning sensation on her back. Just as she was about to get up and continue fighting, she happened to see the pistol lying not far away!
Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she quickly crawled towards the pistol.
However, before she could grab the pistol, the man with a fierce look grabbed her right leg and pulled it back.
The next second, Laura felt a pressure on her neck, but she was pressed down by the man, who held her neck tightly with both hands!
Chapter completed!
