I'm so tired of traveling all the time

The injury on the arm was not serious, but I couldn't use the rifle and shotgun anymore. Fortunately, the pistol was not restricted, so it was no problem to clear out the close-range soldiers.

It was a difficult battle with a huge disparity in combat power between the two sides, and the situation would not be completely evened out just because of the presence of Laura and Wen Liang.

It was already the early morning of the next day when the people of Holy Trinity were defeated. At that moment, all that was left in the village was the smoke of war and the cries of the wounded.

The living are searching for and rescuing survivors. Only one in ten of Jacob's team is left. Too many people died here.

Wen Liang didn’t know whether this could be called a real war scene, but the cruelty and power of hot weapons deeply shocked him.

I didn’t feel much during the battle, cleaning up the battlefield and rescuing the wounded after the battle were the bigger challenges!

When you see people crying in the ruins, digging with their bare hands for the bodies of their companions buried in the rubble, looking at the blood all over the ground and the endless flames, and the wailing of the seriously injured but not dead lingering in your ears for a long time, wanting to rescue but being unable to do so, that is the real cruelty!

Jacob has abilities, but they cannot be used endlessly, especially in front of two outsiders, Laura and Wen Liang. He will not expose them casually. He does not know that Wen Liang already knows his abilities.

Jacob was in great pain seeing his deputy seriously injured and dying. Although he had experienced this too many times in his long life, he would never get used to this situation!

Laura felt even more upset when she saw the scene. "I'm sorry, your people shouldn't have to go through this."

Jacob felt uncomfortable but tried to suppress it, "This is our choice and our responsibility. This road has always been difficult."

"I understand the feeling of losing a loved one. Trinity will never give up, right?"

Jacob shook his head, "I don't think so. They have a lot of resources."

"What about the map?"

Jacob was silent for a moment. "That is a map that can point to the ancient city, but Trinity cannot find it."

Jacob spoke with confidence, but he was worried about the people behind him. "Many of my people live in those ruins. They don't know that the enemy is coming."

"I can help them, Jacob." Of course Laura would not stand idly by.

Jacob raised his head slightly and asked in an ambiguous tone, "Are you doing this to help us, or for what you want?"

"Everything is the same to me at the moment."

Jacob nodded in agreement. He had seen Laura's efforts and help during this period, and he did not reject Laura. "After I take care of the injured, I will bring people to support you."

Laura looked at Jacob who was leaving, and walked to Wen Liang who was sitting not far away, “Let’s take a break, there are still things to do later.”

The two men came to the outside of the village and took out a tent to rest.

The people of Holy Trinity also needed to rest. They were not as advantageous as Jacob's people in terms of geographical location. Apart from the fact that they had launched this attack because they wanted to carry out a surprise attack, it was more likely that they would try their best to ensure that they could control their vision.

This also gave the Jacobs some time to catch their breath, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to hold out for so long. If casualties were not counted, perhaps all the fighting would be over in less than a week.

Of course, Trinity Headquarters would not allow such a thing to happen. They did have a lot of hospitals, but not so many that they would waste them at will.

The two of them took turns resting for a few hours, and when it was light they packed up and prepared to leave. At this time, Wen Liang found that his arm had felt much better.

His recovery ability has shown a difference. Although the wound is still there, he can indeed feel that he is recovering. At the same time, because of Laura's herbal treatment, Wen Liang can basically use firearms!

Leaving the village and heading quickly toward the mountain road, we soon arrived at a badly damaged site, which should be the Acropolis part of the ancient city.

It is also part of the catacombs mentioned by Jacob. I don’t know what the situation is inside?

There are two huge stone doors, and their surfaces are almost covered with moss. If there weren't a crack between the two doors that was big enough for one person to pass through, it is estimated that no one would be able to open them by brute force!

The weather is good today, the sun is shining brightly, the light shines into the room, and you can see the surroundings clearly.

Behind the door is a long passage with many traces of ancient times and many things left over from life.

The torches were still burning, and all kinds of utensils and food were thrown everywhere on the ground. It looked like the evacuation was very hasty.

Laura carefully observed her surroundings and couldn't help but contact Jacob via radio, "Jacob, it's a mess here, I can't see any of your people anywhere!"

"Zizzi...Sophia may have led them to the catacombs, underneath the tower, but I can't contact her."

"Maybe the signal is blocked. Let's go look for her over there."

"The injured here have almost been evacuated. I will be there to help you soon."

Are you sure you're not helping yourself? Wen Liang complained in his heart.

The road into the catacombs was not easy to walk on, especially since some places seemed to have been deliberately damaged, so Laura and Wen Liang had to work with each other to climb mountains, cross ditches, and climb cliffs.

A lot of time was wasted on these, as we had to ensure we passed through while also paying attention to safety. By the time we passed the Acropolis and the cliff in front of us, more than half an hour had passed.

At this moment, the two suddenly heard the sound of propellers. They looked up and found that several helicopters had passed over the cliff above their heads and flew directly to the ruins in the distance!

"The people from Holy Trinity have passed by!" Wen Liang said, "Maybe they are not the first group!"

"I hope I can make it," Laura said, and started on her way.

Running quickly down the mountain along the mountain road, although there seems to be a road under my feet, it is actually polished out according to the stone wall of heaven and man. It is not very neat, but rather has some potholes.

When two people are running, they must always pay attention to their feet, to see if there will be stones suddenly blocking the way, or even if there is suddenly no road ahead!

There are also some branches and vines that either block the view or are easy to trip.

Walking down the mountain road, Wen Liang deeply realized what it meant to be easy to go up a mountain but difficult to go down.

As they approached the bottom of the valley, they could already see vague buildings appearing, as well as flames, gunshots, and explosions!

Laura's footsteps were even faster, jumping forward on the mountain road, more agile than the monkeys in the woods. Wen Liang had a hard time following her, and he secretly sighed in his heart, her agility attribute must be very high!

Taking a shortcut down the mountain nearby, I discovered that this place looked like a market for the remnants of the people. There were many obvious stalls on both sides of the brick and stone road, but no one was there at this time. There were only flames rampant everywhere, constantly licking the surroundings and expanding their territory!

"Oh my God, are we late?" Laura couldn't help but whisper. The bloodstains and corpses on the ground all indicated that a battle had already taken place here.

"No, there's some movement over there. Let's go over there quickly and see if we can do anything!" Wen Liang heard some noise and ran towards the road on the left with Laura.

Running quickly along the sloping road, they came to a courtyard square, where they found many members of the Holy Trinity, with many captive survivors kneeling in the center.

One of them was reporting, "The courtyard is secure! What do you want us to do with these prisoners?"

"Sizzle... Kill them!"
