"Sophia!"

"Oh, you came back alive!"

Seeing the two people returning to the village, the survivors in the village came forward to greet them as if they were fried.

But Lu Qi and Laura, who accompanied them, encountered a different kind of treatment.

More than a dozen bows and arrows were aimed at the two of them, as if they would turn into a human-shaped hedgehog if they moved a little...

"They are not our enemies, they saved me and Sophia..."

After Joseph's explanation, the survivors put down the bows and arrows in their hands, and kept looking at the two of them with curious and guarded eyes.

Judging from the respectful attitude of the survivors, Lu Qi vaguely noticed that the status of the man and woman they rescued seemed not simple.

This made Lu Qi feel overjoyed.

The higher the status of Joseph and Sophia, the higher the probability that they will successfully form an alliance with the remnants of the prophet!

Chapter 343 Open and Honest, Rescue the Hostages

It wasn't until they actually entered the village that Lu Qi and Laura discovered to their surprise that they seemed to have come to a place like a paradise.

In the valley, as far as the eye can see, it is all green.Compared with the snow-capped mountains, it is simply two different worlds.

And the entire village was built on top of an ancient ruin.

Except for the square wooden houses, the ruins left over from the ancient times are scattered in every corner of the village.

Following behind the survivors, stepping on the stone road, Laura looked around curiously, approached Lu Qi, and said in a low voice:

"These ruins...I bet the Lost City is nearby."

"hope so..."

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

"This is the council hall of our village...you are welcome, please sit down."

After taking their seats one by one, Joseph said:

"You two, I would like to apologize to you for the unfriendly behavior of our people. They have never had a good impression of outsiders..."

Looking at Laura, Lu Qi waved his hands and said indifferently:

"I can understand. Especially when such a group of fierce and vicious guys suddenly appeared, in your territory, they wantonly arrested your clansmen..."

"If I were you, I would definitely keep my guard up and not trust others easily."

As soon as the words fell, Sophia, who was sitting on the wooden chair opposite, suddenly asked:

"So, how do you convince us that you are not with Holy Trinity?"

Compared with the more mature and stable Joseph, Sophia still has great doubts about Lu Qi who suddenly appeared in this area.

Even if they just saved their own and their uncle's life from Holy Trinity's pursuers...

"Holy Trinity has just arrived, and you have arrived on the back foot. What is the purpose of you appearing here at the same time?"

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

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

"The 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 it dealt with the two of them.

Of course, he didn't tell the truth that he deliberately brought Holy Trinity here, but instead blamed Holy Trinity.

After listening to Lu Qi's story of seven parts true and three parts false, Joseph and Sophia have already 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 fabricating stories to deceive us for the sake of the sacred source?"

Hearing this, Laura, who was sitting on the side, nodded and said very sincerely:

"Indeed, we also want to find the lost city and find the legendary source of the sacred. 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 the conversation and directly expressed his inner intentions:

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

After inspecting the faces of Lu Qi and Laura, Joseph turned sideways slightly, approached Sophia's ear, and began to whisper something.

Listening to her uncle's suggestion, Sophia's eyes flickered one after another, and she nodded from time to time, as if she had already made a decision.

Finally, the red-haired woman who doesn't trust people easily said:

"We can't make decisions about forming an alliance without authorization. Our top priority is to send people to notify 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 clansmen trapped in the facility, then we are friends!"

Obviously, this is the condition of the Remnants of the Prophet.

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

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

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

What's more, he has Laura, the Goddess of War, by his side.

Not to mention sneaking in and rescuing the hostages, even if it was a storming of the facility, he doubted whether Holy Trinity's troops could stop the two of them...

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

"Yes. But, in return, we will get the exact location of the Lost City!"

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

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

"Agreed?"

Looking at Lu Qi's outstretched hand, Sophia reached out to shake it:

"A word is settled!"

. . .

After initially reaching an oral agreement with the Prophet's survivors, Lu Qi and Laura immediately prepared to set off.

Lu Qi originally thought that for the task of sneaking into the enemy's base, the fewer 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 made this suggestion, it was no surprise that Laura strongly opposed it.

In her original words, it is "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 travel together.

In order not to be easily spotted by the enemy, the two did not forget to change out the conspicuous down jackets on their bodies and replaced them with dark animal skin jackets.

In terms of warmth retention, animal fur coats are no better than down jackets.

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

Compared with guns, stealth bow and arrow is Laura's best fighting method...

. . . . . .

After resting in the village for a while, the two, who were full of food and drink, arrived at a small hillside near the Cold War facility under the guidance of Sophia.

"Ahead is the base camp of the invaders..."

Lying on the hillside, holding the binoculars and looking down, looking at the connected buildings and the patrolling Holy Trinity soldiers, Lu Qi casually handed the binoculars to Laura, and asked Sofia:

"Where is the prison?"

Hearing this question, Sophia couldn't help flashing a trace of embarrassment and helplessness:

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

Hearing this, Lu Qi raised his brows, he couldn't continue to expose the other party's scars, so he said casually:

"Well, anyway, if you catch someone casually, you can find out as soon as you ask..."

Chapter 344 The power of the eagle eye, hidden shadow in the night

After Sophia left, Lu Qi and Laura did not sneak into the Cold War facility immediately, but went around the perimeter of the entire facility to investigate the enemy's patrol routes and defense gaps.

Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.Knowing the enemy is the beginning of defeating the enemy.

Rich combat experience told Lu Qi that it is best to operate at night for such a task as sneaking into the enemy's base camp.

Only under the cover of night can you effectively hide your body and avoid the enemy's sight.

Therefore, after the two found the defensive gap in the facility, they waited patiently for the night to fall...

About two hours later, the pitch-black night arrived as expected, and with it came the whistling wind and snow!

The night fell, and the sky was hazy.

The cold snowflakes are flying all over the sky, like people who miss this land and refuse to leave for a long time.

Located in the southeast corner of the Cold War facility, two figures that almost merged with the surrounding darkness slowly came out from the woods.

With a "click", the bullet was loaded, holding the Glock 18 equipped with a silencer with both hands, Lu Qi turned his head slightly, and said to Laura beside him:

"It's time to act..."

"Ah."

After finishing speaking, the two of them bent slightly, and under the cover of night and snow, they turned into two ghosts and quietly sneaked into the facility...

. . .

"Wait a minute, there's a team of guards coming up ahead..."

"It's now, go through!"

...

Eagle vision is the biggest reliance for Lu Qi to take on this rescue mission with confidence.

Especially after frequent use, the skill level of eagle vision has also been improved.

The eagle eye vision of LV3 allows Lu Qi to have a clear view of the situation within ten meters of himself; while the eagle eye vision of LV4 changes this field of vision to 15 meters, and the things he can perceive are more diverse change.

Whether it is the footprints just left or the blood that has dried up, they will be marked by the skills, and Lu Qi will be reminded with a bright light.

The expansion of the field of vision allowed him to bypass one team after another of guards as if he was in no man's land during the stealth process.

When the two came to a certain building, they finally found a single guard...

I saw an elite soldier in heavy body armor and a windproof mask standing by the fire barrel at the back door of the building, stretching out his hands to warm himself.

At the corner behind him, Lu Qi and Laura were clinging to the corner wall, waiting for the opportunity to strike.

First, after confirming that there are no other enemies within 15 meters with eagle eyes, he poked his head out and confirmed that the searchlights on the defensive towers in the distance would not shine here. Then Lu Qi turned his head and said to Laura. :

"Stay here and let me handle it!"

"be careful!"

Pulling out a tactical dagger from his waist and holding the handle behind his back, Lu Qi bent over, like a ghost in the night, slowly approaching the lone guard.

One step, two steps...

The sound of Lu Qi's footsteps was drowned in the whistling wind and snow, so that the guards beside the fire bucket didn't even know that the sharp scythe of death was close at hand.

"Damn it, you still have to come out to patrol in this kind of horrible weather..."

Just as the guard was swearing while roasting the fire, a dagger suddenly lay across his neck.

A cold voice then sounded from beside my ears:

"Don't make a sound!"

Hearing this, the guard's whole body froze, and subconsciously reached out to touch the M4A1 carbine on his chest.

However, Lu Qi, who had been on guard for a long time, immediately handed over the sharp dagger in his hand.
