It wasn't until they actually entered the village that Lu Qi and Laura were surprised to find that they seemed to have arrived in a paradise-like place.

In the valley, everywhere you look is green. Compared with the snow-capped mountains, they are simply two different worlds.

The entire village is built on an ancient ruins.

In addition to the square wooden houses, ruins and broken walls left over from ancient times are scattered in every corner of the village.

Following the survivors on the stone road, Laura looked around curiously, approached Lu Qi, and whispered:

"These ruins... I bet the Lost City must be nearby."

"hope so..."

Under the vigilant gaze of the survivors, Lu Qi and Laura were taken to a large wooden house in the center of the village.

"This is the meeting hall of our village... You're welcome, please take a seat."

After sitting down one by one, Joseph said:

"Both of you, I would like to apologize on behalf of our people for their unfriendly behavior. They have never had a good impression of outsiders..."

Looking at Laura, Lu Qi waved his hand and said nonchalantly:

"I can understand. Especially when such a group of vicious guys suddenly appeared in your territory and arrested your people without restraint..."

"If I were you, I would definitely stay on guard and not easily trust others."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sophia, who was sitting on the wooden chair opposite, suddenly asked:

"So, how are you going to make us believe that you and Holy Trinity are not in the same group?"

Compared with the more mature and steady Joseph, Sofia still had great suspicion towards the sudden appearance of Lu Qi in this area.

Even though they had just saved themselves and their uncle's lives from the Holy Trinity's pursuers...

"The Holy Trinity has just arrived with its front foot, and you have arrived with its rear foot. What is the purpose of you appearing here at the same time?"

Looking at Joseph who stopped interrupting, Lu Qi understood that this was the time to be honest with each other and deepen their mutual trust.

Thinking of this, he didn't hide it and said directly:

"Lost City, Holy Trinity wants to get something in the Lost City. And we are here to stop them!"

Immediately afterwards, Lu Qi explained the ins and outs of how Holy Trinity was looking for the divine source of the prophet and how to deal with the two.

Of course, he did not tell the truth that he deliberately led Holy Trinity here, but instead put the blame on Holy Trinity.

After listening to Lu Qi's story, which was 70% true and 30% false, Joseph and Sophia believed most of it.

However, they still have concerns about the intentions of Lu Qi and Laura.

"How do we know that you are not deliberately making up stories to deceive us for the sake of the sacred source?"

Hearing this, Laura, who was sitting aside, nodded and said very sincerely:

"Indeed, we also want to find the Lost City and the legendary sacred source. However, we do not intend to do anything to harm your people in order to obtain information about the Lost City..."

Before Laura could finish speaking, Lu Qi took over and directly expressed his inner intention:

"On the contrary, we can also help you to fight against the Holy Trinity together!"

With his eyes scanning the faces of Lu Qi and Laura, Joseph turned slightly sideways, leaned into Sophia's ear, and began to whisper something.

Fu'er listened to her uncle's suggestions, Sofia's eyes flashed one after another, and she nodded from time to time, as if she had already made a decision.

Finally, this red-haired woman who doesn't trust people easily spoke:

"We cannot make the decision on our own regarding the alliance. Our top priority is to send people to inform other villages as soon as possible."

"For a while, we really can't spare any manpower to attack those hateful intruders. If you can help us rescue the clan members trapped in the facility, then we will be friends!"

Obviously, this is the condition of the prophet's remnant.

However, I am not afraid that you will raise conditions, but I am afraid that you will not be able to get in!

Although this condition requires the two of them to sneak into a heavily guarded Cold War facility and successfully rescue the captured tribesmen, it sounds very harsh.

However, for a former 141st ace who has gone deep behind enemy lines and conducted many special operations, such a task is a piece of cake!

What's more, he also has Laura, the goddess of war, by his side.

Not to mention infiltrating and rescuing the hostages, even if they stormed the facility, he doubted whether Holy Trinity's troops could stop the two of them...

After making eye contact with Laura, Lu Qi, as the representative, nodded and agreed to the other party's conditions:

"Yes. But, in return, we need to get the specific location of the Lost City!"

"No problem, we always tell our friends everything we know."

Hearing this, Lu Qi raised his eyebrows, then stood up and stretched out his hand to Sophia.

"A deal?"

Looking at Lu Qi's extended hand, Sophia reached out and shook it:

“It’s a deal!”

...

After reaching a preliminary verbal agreement with the Prophet's remnants, Lu Qi and Laura immediately prepared to set off.

Lu Qi originally thought that for a task like infiltrating an enemy base, the smaller the number of people, the lower the chance of being discovered.

It would be better to sneak into the Cold War facility by yourself and rescue the hostages.

However, when he proposed this opinion, it was no surprise that he encountered strong opposition from Laura.

In her original words, "We are partners, I can't let you take risks alone."

Faced with Laura's tough attitude, Lu Qi did not insist, but readily accepted Laura's decision to go together.

In order not to be easily discovered by the enemy, the two of them did not forget to change their conspicuous down jackets and replaced them with dark-colored animal skin jackets.

When it comes to warmth, animal skin jackets are not far behind compared to down jackets.

After changing her clothes, Laura specially borrowed a bow and arrow from the survivors as her main weapon.

Compared with firearms, stealth bow and arrow style is Lara's best fighting method...

...

After resting for a while in the village and having eaten and drank enough, the two of them, led by Sophia, successfully arrived at a hillside near the Cold War facility.

"Ahead is the invader's base camp..."

Lying on the hillside, looking down with a telescope, looking at the connected buildings and the patrolling Holy Trinity soldiers, Lu Qi casually handed the telescope to Laura aside and asked Sophia:

"Where is the prison?"

Hearing this question, a trace of embarrassment and helplessness flashed across Sophia's face:

"I don't know. We were defeated by the intruders before we could find the prison..."

Hearing this, Lu Qi raised his brows. He didn't want to continue to expose the other party's scars, so he had to say casually:
Chapter completed!
