Mr. Zhou had a map, so he should know which was the fastest way to the Research Institute. In addition, he had a special identity and was the big boss who paid for the rescue, so everyone naturally took him as the leader.
In fact, Mr. Zhou had not been to this abandoned experimental Island for more than a decade. The road shape of the island had changed a long time ago. Mr. Zhou could only roughly guess the location of everyone and the Research Institute on the island based on the map and the direction they were currently in.
However, he had obviously made sufficient preparations before coming, and he should have recalled a lot of information agaim’There’s a small river on the island about 40 meters away from where we are.”
No one dared to interrupt him and listened to him continue,”
“When we were building the laboratory, the end of the drainage system happened to be there.” When Mr. Zhou said this, he said with confidence,
no matter how the island’s environment changes, as long as we follow the drainage system, there will be no mistake.
When everyone heard him say this, they couldn’t help but feel their spirits lift. It was as if finding the drainage system meant that they had found a ray of hope.
Song qingxiao, on the other hand, was on high alert. She remembered the genetic mutations of the infected creatures on the island and in the sea.
According to what Mr. Zhou said, the environment of the laboratory should be sealed, and the ’experimental subjects’ should be locked up in the laboratory.
Since the experiment had failed when they left the island, the experimental subjects should have been processed.
In the end, the reason why the surrounding animals were infected in succession could not be ruled out as the sewage system connecting the outside world with the laboratory.
“The river on the island should be in that direction.”
Mr. Zhou raised his finger and pointed. Everyone agreed with his speculation. They packed their things and followed him.
Looking at the sea from the beach, after the wind blew away some of the thick dark clouds, a glimmer of light appeared on the horizon, allowing some visibility to be seen on the beach.
However, the island was pitch-black, and the dense forest blocked all light. Before they entered, they could already feel the gloomy and damp atmosphere.
Everyone was trembling. At this time, opening a path and covering the rear were tasks that everyone avoided like the plague.
Wolf one, Wolf two,” Mr. Zhou called out two names, and finally, his eyes fell on song Qing and the other participants. Under the dim light, his eyes glowed with a green light, making everyone who saw him shiver.
His gaze stopped on song qingxiao for a moment, and the other trial-takers all heaved a sigh of relief.
From the looks of it, song qingxiao from Lin Yi was probably the one leading Mr. Zhou. She had already demonstrated her strength on the ship. Whether it was killing fish or bats, she had displayed great courage and skill. This was the best time for her to lead the charge.
No one knew what kind of danger there was on the island. It was dark, and as song qingxiao had said, they could not light up any light to avoid disaster. Everything depended on the team’s own exploration. The people walking in front were especially important. When they encountered danger, they could warn the people behind. Of course, it also meant that the people in the front and the people at the back were the ones who were in the most danger in the team.
However, this matter didn’t concern him, so he just let it be.
Even if they had previously made a so-called Alliance agreement, as long as they were not in danger, naturally, no trial-taker would be willing to talk about ‘loyalty’ at this time.
Young man number six was gloating in his heart, but in the next second, Mr. Zhou’s eyes shifted from song qingxiao to young man number six. He smiled and said,”
“I’ve heard miss song call you that. You’re number six, right? You go in front too.”
The smile on number six’s face froze. In contrast, song Qing looked relieved.
When Mr. Zhou stared at her, her scalp went numb and her body tensed up. At that moment, a murderous intent flashed through her heart.
Like everyone else, she didn’t want to walk in front. At this time, everyone knew that the people in front were more likely to get into trouble.
Fortunately, the unreliable verbal agreement between her and Mr. Zhou probably had some effect. It was also possible that during the negotiation with Mr. Zhou that day, number six’s arrogant and domineering attitude had already made Mr. Zhou dissatisfied with him, and now he specifically asked him to walk ahead.
Number six clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth.
As soon as he moved, Zhou xueli raised her hand. She held a pistol in her hand and aimed it at number six’s forehead.
The other bodyguards also raised their guns and surrounded number six.
At this time, even if number six had a special ability in the aspect of mental power, he could not fight against four hands with two fists. He could kill Mr. Zhou in an instant, but the others would also want to kill him.
He had offended too many people, and a few of the participants did not have a good impression of him. No one had the intention to speak up for him. Number six’s face was a mixture of green and white. The atmosphere at the scene was extremely low, and everyone had their heads lowered, afraid that if they looked up to watch the commotion, Mr. Zhou would stare at them.
A wise man submits to circumstances. In this situation where it was not beneficial for him, number six had no other choice.
This young man, who had been acting arrogantly since he entered the trial space, swallowed his anger and lowered his head for the first time. He grabbed the bag in his backpack, and no one knew what he was thinking. He threw the heavy bag on the ground, and just like song qingxiao and the others, he only had one bag on his back. Then, he sneered,
“I’ll go in front then.”
Number seven didn’t even try to hide his gloating. He lowered his voice and said,”
“Then you’d better watch out for the danger.”
Number six didn’t have the time to be a hero with his words, but he still bore The Grudge against number seven. The supplies he threw out were quickly picked up by the others. Number six took a deep breath and walked to the front with Wolf one and Wolf two, who had been called by Mr. Zhou, under the threat of several muzzles.
Compared to the others, he had an advantage.
Number six was a psychic, and the dark forest on the island was not a big obstacle for him. If he was good at using his psychic power, he could sense if there was any danger around him. Song qingxiao could also use this opportunity to test him.
In addition to No. 6 and the other two, Mr. Zhou randomly picked two workers to walk in front. When he picked the one to bring up the rear, song qingxiao was not so lucky.
She, No. 1, No. 7, and the other three workers were ordered by Mr. Zhou to walk at the back. On both sides, there were bodyguards protecting Mr. Zhou, Zhou xuli, and the researchers.
Although this trip to the island was not smooth, and more than a dozen people had died before they landed on the island, there were still many people left. Mr. Zhou, the sailors, workers, and trial-takers, there were currently about 30 to 40 people who had survived.
Song qingxiao and the others slowly followed after the large group of people that had entered the forest.
When they looked into the forest from the shore, they already felt very scared, but that kind of fear was not even one-tenth of the fear they felt when they actually stepped into the forest.
When the dense shadows formed by the forest shrouded everyone, it was as if they had stepped into a whole new and terrifying world..
