Indeed, after seeing the stream, it proved that it was as Zhou xueli had said. If they walked around the stream, they would soon be able to get out of the forest.
As soon as they left the forest, they seemed to be one step closer to the Research Institute, but also much further away from danger.
The previous fear was now replaced by excitement. Everyone scrambled to drag their tired legs and run forward, and the people behind also sped up.
The closer they got to the water’s edge, the more moist the soil on the ground became. The top of the water flow was blocked by a lush dwarf forest. The water current was quite rapid, winding down, washing away the stones along the way.
The bottom of the stream was covered with cobblestones of different sizes.
After years of polishing by the water, they had become quite round. The water was not too deep, only about the height of a person’s calf.
It was ironic that this Island was an experimental Island built by Mr. Zhou’s father. The creatures on the island were contaminated by humans, causing genetic changes, but the stream looked so clean that you could see the bottom.
On the wild grass by the stream, there were many unknown lilac flowers. It was already afternoon, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the water, adding a poetic color to the horrifying Island.
Not only were they physically tired, but their minds were also tense.
On the last night on the ship, no one slept well. The strange piranhas and seabirds they encountered during the day frightened them, and then the bat attack at night. It was almost a dangerous night.
After the ship sank, everyone managed to survive with great difficulty. Then, they went to the island in fear. After that, they encountered danger one after another. In order to survive, they did not dare to stop for a moment. They carried their heavy luggage and moved forward. It was only now that they could relax for a moment.
“Miss Zhou, why don’t you take a break first?”
Seeing such a scene, many people immediately forgot about the terrifying image of this small island, and one of them couldn’t help but plead, causing Zhou xueli’s face to reveal an unhappy expression.
“Let’s rest for a while, 1 really can’t walk anymore.”
The person who spoke threw his backpack away and it rolled onto the grass, crushing a few blooming flowers. He picked up a clean stone and sat down, unable to stand up again.
Everyone looked tired, including Zhou xueli. In fact, they had been exhausted for a long time. They could walk before only because they gritted their teeth and held on with their breath. Now that they were relaxed, even standing and gasping for breath felt tired.
“Why don’t we take a break?”
Professor Yan couldn’t help but suggest. Many people had not even drunk water since they came to the island, let alone eat. They couldn’t hold it in any longer, miss Zhou, you said it yourself. We just need to get out of the forest before five o ‘clock. It’s half past four now. It’ll take at most fifteen minutes to get out of here. After resting for ten minutes, we should be able to get out of the forest at five o’ clock!
Several scientists wiped their sweat and nodded in agreement.
They were all scholars, and it was already very good that they didn’t fall behind after walking for so long. At this time, under Zhou xueli’s gaze, their legs were trembling slightly, and it was obvious that they had reached their physical limits.
In addition to a few cultivators and well-trained Wolf one and the others, the others ‘lips were dry and cracked. Some people’s eyes were blinded by sweat, and their faces were red. They were panting with their mouths open. Needless to say, Zhou xueli knew that she was probably not in a good state.
Hesitating, she glanced at Mr. Zhou and asked,”
“Mr. Zhou…”
Mr. Zhou’s condition was the best among the group.
Because he had the support of Zhou xueli and her bodyguards, he had an easy time. Previously, professor Yan had injected him with some kind of needle, which made him look much better than when he had first arrived on the island. After hearing Zhou xueli’s words, Mr. Zhou frowned, but in the end, he nodded.
With Mr. Zhou’s approval, everyone couldn’t help but cheer. Even Wolf one seemed to be relieved. He pulled the strap of his helmet. Zhou xueli looked at her wrist and said,”
since we’re going to rest, we can only rest for ten minutes at most. We’ll immediately continue our journey after ten minutes.
Naturally, no one would disagree with her request.
Everyone hurriedly took off their backpacks and threw them aside. With a splash, someone stepped into the water and reached out to scoop some water to splash on their faces. When the cold water hit their faces, many people let out a sigh of satisfaction..
