Chapter 353: Convergence, Return
Although the sacred source was not found immediately, Laura was still very excited to find important clues.
As for Lu Qi, he was also very happy.
It's not because the name of this city map is the same as the security consulting company he established in Los Santos, both called "Atlas"
It’s because the second ancient ruins of [World Mission] have been found!
Next, as long as they continue to collect documents and cultural relics related to Kit City, when they return to London, they can announce the existence of the "Lost City" to the world and complete the [World Mission]!
Of course, before that, he must first get rid of the Holy Trinity troops headed by Constantine, and help Laura uncover the secret of the holy source...
...
After suppressing their excitement for a moment, the two of them walked through the palace hall and walked deeper into the palace.
However, they soon discovered that all corridors were blocked by falling boulders, making it impossible to move forward.
After going around and around, the two finally came to a corridor submerged by the lake.
Looking at the clear lake water and the mountains connected to it, Laura frowned, “I think this is the road Jacob mentioned...right?
Hearing this, Lu Qi on the side had no choice but to shrug and spread his hands.
"Anyway, there is no other way to go, so I can only give it a try..."
"I hate getting wet..."
Although she said so, Laura still obediently started to take off her clothes.
The two of them first took off their animal skin coats, socks and shoes, and then put firearms, walkie-talkies and other important weapons and tools together into their backpacks.
After taking protective measures, the two stood by the water and began to warm up.
As for the warm-up exercise, of course it is the eighth set of radio gymnastics that Lu Qi once taught Laura at Yamatai!
One, two, three, four...two, two, three, four...
After fully warming up, the two made two "plops" and jumped into the cold lake water one after another.
As soon as Lu Qi jumped into the lake, his first feeling was just one word: cold!
However, the warm-up effect was pretty good, and coupled with my strong physical fitness, I quickly adapted to the temperature of the lake water.
After running in the water for a while, the two of them took a deep breath and dived down.
After swimming along a narrow mountain river for about twenty meters, the two of them saw the exit.
Stepping on an extended staircase, the two left the lake, passed through a porch, and came to a ruins.
Looking at the ruins of these buildings that I had seen in the village, I hugged myself with both hands.
"It finally came out..."
While sighing, Laura seemed to have remembered something and suddenly asked:
"Lu Qi, do you think Jacob is still alive?"
"If he is already dead, what should we tell Sophia and the others after we return to the village?"
Although I knew that Jacob was the legendary prophet who had lived for thousands of years, I also knew that he had the power of the divine source in his body, and he would not be taken away easily.
However, Lu Qi didn't know how Jacob could survive in that situation.
After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Lu Qi could only comfort him:
"What we can do now is to return to the village as soon as possible and tell Sophia the news that Holy Trinity is about to attack."
"As for other things, just let them take their own course..."
...
When the two crossed the mountains and returned to the village, it was already seven o'clock in the morning.
Near the valley where the village is located, the howling wind and snow were replaced by warm sunshine.
The two people, who were all wet, first found a nearby place and built a bonfire.
They took off all the soaked clothes and put them aside to dry. They changed into a new set of underwear, then put on their animal skin coats and sat by the campfire to keep warm.
After drying their clothes, eating something, and replenishing their energy, the two of them prepared to break camp and set off.
At this moment, a faint sound of rolling stones suddenly came from the ruins beside the two of them.
Lu Qi and Laura had very similar reactions. They subconsciously took out their weapons and aimed at the source of the sound.
"Who is where?!"
"Don't be impulsive, it's me!"
Following a rather familiar voice, a figure slowly walked out.
Looking at that calm face, Laura’s eyes lit up and she couldn’t help shouting with joy:
"Jacob?!"
The person coming was none other than Jacob, who was separated from the two of them in the mine tunnel!
Lu Qi's guess was correct.
This prophet with the power of the sacred source did not die when the mine tunnel collapsed. Instead, he found another way, crossed the mountains, and returned to the valley.
The fact that Jacob was not dead also made Laura's worries disappear.
Looking up and down at Jacob who was fine, Laura breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great, I thought something bad had happened to you..."
"Haha, isn't this good of me?"
Lu Qi, who was on the side, couldn't help but step forward and patted Jacob on the shoulder:
"I'm glad you're okay."
"Let's go, your people can't wait to welcome their leader back..."
...
The three people who reunited had just walked along the road to the ruins and not far away when they encountered a small team of the Prophet's survivors guarding near the exit of the ruins.
And the leader of the team is Sophia!
The moment she saw Jacob, Sophia was startled for a moment, and then a joyful expression appeared on her unsmiling face:
"Father!!!"
This shout also made Lu Qi and Laura understand why Sophia had a high status among the survivors.
It turns out that she is the leader's daughter...
As soon as she finished speaking, Sofia rushed to Jacob and hugged him tightly.
"Sophia, I'm back..."
After a deep hug, Sophia left her father's arms and then looked at Lu Qi and the other two.
At this time, there was no longer suspicion and disbelief in her eyes, but instead there was deep gratitude:
"Lu Qi, Laura, you really did it! Thank you!"
Hearing this, before Lu Qi could speak, Laura on the side waved her hand and said with a smile:
"You're welcome, we are allies and we should help each other."
After thanking Lu Qi and Laura, Sophia turned back, held Jacob's hand, and asked worriedly:
"Father, those intruders..."
"Yes, Holy Trinity is coming, we must be prepared!"
After saying that, Jacob stepped forward and said loudly with a rich voice:
"I hereby give an order that from now on, these two are our allies, and no one is allowed to harm them."
After saying that, he turned around, looked at Lu Qi and Lu Qi seriously, and said in a deep voice:
"Come on, we don't have much time..."
Everyone headed towards the village, and Jacob also began to perform his responsibilities as a leader and began to assign tasks to his men:
"Prepare weapons and ammunition, guard the defense facilities, and go!"
"Organize people and take the old people and children to the catacombs!!"
"Light the beacon, we must warn other villages!!!"
