If it wasn’t for number one’s sharp eyes, even if everyone turned their heads in this direction, they might not have been able to see through the vines.
Everyone’s faces were filled with joy, as if they had seen the dawn of victory.
Before entering the island, Mr. Zhou had said that there was a drainage pipeline along the river that connected to the Research Institute. He was very certain when he said it, but after entering the island for so long and so many people dying, they had not found the pipeline that Mr. Zhou had mentioned.
Everyone guessed that Mr. Zhou might have remembered the wrong location due to the age, or that the Research Institute that Mr. Zhou mentioned was just a cover to deceive everyone.
However, at this point, no one had any room to retreat. When the workers were feeling desperate and uneasy, the appearance of the pipeline was like a shot in the arm, making everyone cheer out loud.
Once they found the discharge pipeline, they would be able to follow the pipeline to the location of the Research Institute. As long as they could reach the Research Institute before dark and make a call for help, they would be able to wait for rescue.
Many people cried tears of joy as they fought to squeeze forward.
The bodyguards escorted Mr. Zhou and walked carefully at the back. Seeing these people running forward happily, Mr. Zhou’s eyes flickered but he did not stop them. Professor Yan and the others appeared to be a little cautious.
After encountering the spider, although the group of people did not encounter any accidents along the way, the island was full of danger, so they should still be more careful.
Song qingxiao walked cautiously at the back, while the other cultivators walked in the middle.
“There’s no danger!”
There was already a river below them. After the excitement of the people running down gradually cooled down, they became more cautious.
The seaweed was very tall. Someone tried to take a step out. From the way he pulled his foot back, it could be seen that the ground was a little soft. Under the seaweed should be a soft mud.
After the first person mustered up the courage to step on it, because of the previous encounter with the crocodile, this person quickly retreated and stopped for a while, listening to the wind and grass.
However, he paused for a while and nothing unexpected happened.
Other than the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the grass, there was no other movement in the surroundings.
He soon couldn’t hold back the excitement in his heart. Once again, he walked a little closer and then came back. He still didn’t encounter any danger.
“There’s no danger, you can come over!”
The man excitedly raised his hand and waved it twice.
Seeing his actions, Mr. Zhou and the others followed him down the slope and walked to the middle of the river bed.
Perhaps it was because the people in front of them were not in danger, but the group of people relaxed a little. Even a few scientists smiled. Professor Yan said,
it seems like the crocodiles ‘nest is only in the previous area.
The stench was getting stronger and stronger, making people feel nauseated with a single breath.
However, the great joy of finding the tube overpowered this physical discomfort. Song qingxiao walked with the other participants. Number seven followed her and rubbed his nose from time to time.
The discharge pipe was getting closer and closer. It was estimated to be about twenty to thirty meters away from where they were.
“It’s so stinky.”
The man in a suit couldn’t help but Mutter,” where is the body? ”
Song qingxiao didn’t even dare to take a deep breath. She covered her nose with one hand and patted the grass with the gun in the other. Every step she took was very careful.
“All!”
Suddenly, a man walking in front exclaimed, as if he had discovered something.
However, everyone was the most sensitive to this kind of exclamation. As soon as they heard someone’s cry, their first instinct was to retreat. They clearly remembered the two people who had been bitten to death by the spiders.
Song qingxiao was also stuck in the crowd and retreated. The people who were screaming in front turned around and saw the situation, so they instinctively followed suit.
The ground was wet and soft, and he ran a little awkwardly, almost falling to the ground several times, but now everyone was in the same situation, so no one laughed at him.
The man retreated back into the crowd and calmed down a little. The others retreated another five or six meters. However, during this time, nothing strange happened in the direction the man who screamed first.
“What the hell?”
Someone turned his panic into anger and criticized sternly,”
“What did you see that made you scream like a ghost?”
“1,1 think I just saw a crocodile!”
The people who screamed at first were still in shock, but when the word ‘crocodile’ came out, everyone felt their scalps go numb and goosebumps rise all over their bodies.
The damage that the crocodiles had caused to the group earlier was deeply imprinted in their minds and was difficult to forget.
As soon as they heard that a crocodile had been found, everyone began to feel afraid. Zhou xueli and the bodyguards protected Mr. Zhou and retreated. The seaweed was trampled on and the scientists were also in a sorry state.
“Something’s not right.”
At this moment, woman number three opened her mouth and said,”
“We’re so close. If there were alligators, they would have come out long ago.”
Mutated crocodiles were extremely ferocious. It was impossible for it to watch its ‘prey’ slip away when everyone entered its hunting range.
Woman number three covered her nose and mumbled,”
“Did you see wrongly?”
When she asked this question, the person who screamed at the beginning showed an uneasy expression. He was very certain at first, but now that he was being pointed out, he seemed to think that number three’s words made sense.
“I, I’m not sure …” As soon as he said this, Mr. Zhou’s face showed an unhappy expression.
“Go and confirm..”
