I'm so tired of traveling all the time

"Oh, by the way, this is for you!" Laura took off a bow behind her and handed it to Wen Liang.

"Recurve bow? Where did you get it?" Wen Liang was a little surprised.

Recurve bows made with modern technology far surpass hand-made hunting bows in terms of accuracy, power, and durability.

Seeing Wen Liang playing with it lovingly, Laura smiled happily and said, "It was found up there. Maybe someone wants to hunt here."

"It just so happens that there are a lot of iron-headed arrows here, which have quite a lot of killing power. Do you want to prepare some?"

"Of course!" Laura said, "Just now I heard that you seemed to have given all the supplies to them?"

"Not all of it. I just gave them all the food. They have a lot of elderly people and children. The remaining food is enough for us to consume for seven days, and I believe that Holy Trinity will bring us more supplies."

"I like what you said!" Laura said as she sat by the campfire at the sentry post, taking off her equipment and cleaning it. "How are the weapons you have here? Are they enough?"

"Of course, I only left the food for them, everything else is still here, what do you need?"

Laura told her what weapons and ammunition she needed, as well as a gear belt and backpack. They packed them together and were fully armed again.

"Jacob and his people are resilient, I must admit. The Holy Trinity is coming, and they need our help."

Laura said, putting the cleaned pistol into the quick-grip holster on her thigh. Wen Liang nodded in agreement, he also wanted to do something, after all, in this situation, helping Jacob and the others is helping himself!

"I passed a place on the way and saw a mural that mentioned the Atlas map. If it really is a map of some kind of ruins, we must get it before Anna does!"

"It seems we have a target," Wen Liang said after getting himself ready and standing up, "Shall we set off now?"

"Are you okay? I remember you seemed to be in a lot of pain."

"Don't worry, I'm fine!" Wen Liang patted his chest. "But you, do you need a rest?"

"I'm fine. It would be even better if I had an energy bar now." Laura said, "We have to hurry. Anna is faster than us!"

"As you wish~" Wen Liang handed over a few energy bars, "Then let's go, I also want to meet that Anna, what kind of person is she."

The villagers were busy. Some started the generators and wanted to send a final message via radio to let other villages know what was going to happen next. Some arranged spies to go to the valleys and cliffs to observe the movements of helicopters. Some were cutting wood, building towers, forging arrows, and repairing houses.

Passing through the building under the sentry post, I heard many people talking and also heard a lot of news.

For example, the Soviet facilities on the mountain. They had conflicts with the Soviets before. It seemed that they drove the Soviets away and took over a lot of materials, tools, weapons, etc. left by the Soviets, but as a whole they did not recover from the last fight.

Many people still remembered the previous conflicts with the Soviets, so when the people from Trinity came again this time, they also rose up to resist, but they also knew that it would be difficult, so many people were worried.

zizi...

Jacob's voice came over the radio, "Laura, I'm sorry for my unkind behavior towards Sofia."

"I appreciate it. Fortunately, you are here to speak for me." Laura's tone didn't seem so open-minded. Come to think of it, everyone would get angry after being threatened.

Understanding is one thing, but temper is one’s own.

"My people have spent decades fighting outsiders. It's not easy for them to trust outsiders. But I believe that with Will here, they will accept you soon."

"Thank you, Jacob," Laura said with a somewhat relieved attitude, "Maybe I can help with something, so that people may accept me faster."

A little impatience will ruin a great plan. This is what Laura was thinking at the moment. After all, she needed the kindness of the people here, and she also had to find the sacred source.

Jacob was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "Laura, I need your help. My people are scattered all over the valley. If you can light the beacon tower, they will know that danger is approaching!"

As it gets darker, the mountain road becomes very difficult to walk on. You must always pay attention to your feet, otherwise you might fall or even fall off a cliff.

"I try my best!"

Following Jacob's instructions and description, the two quickly found the beacon tower hanging high on the cliff.

"This place is too far from the beacon tower. We need to get closer." Laura raised her arm and gave a thumbs-up. She simply measured the distance and the conclusion she reached made her shake her head.

Wen Liang looked at the beacon tower in the distance and the tall wooden spire, and he wanted to give it a try.

"Is this place 200 meters away from the beacon tower?"

"More than two hundred, nearly three hundred!" Laura seemed to have guessed Wen Liang's thoughts, "Don't forget that we are at an upward angle, and the force required may be greater to make the arrow fly through!"

“It won’t take much time to give it a try~”

Laura didn't object. After all, if Wen Liang succeeded, then they would save the trouble of climbing up the cliff.

When we reached the position closest to the top of the tower, it was almost level with the base of the beacon tower.

On the way, Laura wrapped the arrow with oilcloth, made a burning arrow, handed it to Wen Liang and said, "Come on, if you succeed we won't have to climb the tower!"

After lighting the arrow, Wen Liang took out the recurve bow he had prepared, put the arrow on the bow, adjusted the angle, and raised it slightly in the direction of the beacon tower...

bang...

The bowstring was gradually tightened until it was almost fully drawn. At this moment, Wen Liang seemed to feel a skill called "charging power", as if the energy in his body was poured into the arrow that was about to fly out!

Whoosh----

The burning arrow flew out from the bow, and in the blink of an eye it had flown a hundred meters, chasing the beacon tower in an almost straight line in the air!

The moment he let go, Wen Liang felt that the arrow would surely fly very far, but at the same time he became afraid, fearing that it would fly too straight and too far and miss the beacon tower!

The original aim was to hit the bottom of the beacon tower after the projectile was thrown, as the area here is large and easier to aim.

However, this time the force carried by the flaming arrow was too great, and the arc was smaller than expected, so it went straight for the top of the tower!

Do!

The arrow hit the top of the tower right away. The beacon tower was smeared with grease, so a little flame set the entire beacon tower on fire!

The huge flames lit up half the sky red, and you could see it even from a long distance!

In Laura's shocked eyes, Wen Liang withdrew his arm calmly, as if he had done something insignificant. In fact, he was also shocked and relieved in his heart, and even more so, he was secretly proud of himself after successfully pretending to be smart!

"Zizi..."

The radio received a signal again, and Jacob's voice rang out, "Laura Will, thank you, my people have seen the signal, now they should have enough time to retreat! Come to the upper village and join me, I am gathering people here."

The two of them immediately rushed to the upper village. Laura finally couldn't help but asked on the way, "How come you are so strong, and your archery skills are very strong!"

It is not difficult to become proficient in archery. Most people can master it quickly after a short period of training. However, it is not easy to shoot far and accurately!

"I remember you weren't very good at it a few days ago? Do you have any secret? Please teach me!" Laura's tone unconsciously had some different meaning, but Laura herself didn't notice it.

"It's a feeling. I'm naturally very strong, and this time I suddenly entered a special state. When I pulled the bow to its full length, not letting go seemed to be...accumulating strength. Then it flew very far, as if my arm had been extended!"
