Chapter 142: In danger (2)
Translator: 549690339
The rescue call could only be made through the Institute’s satellite communication, so they could only grit their teeth and move forward.
The surroundings beca quiet again. Everyone walked forward for about ten ters. Every step they took felt like they were walking on the tip of a knife. They were very careful.
Fortunately, there was no sound coming from the front. At this ti, no news was the best news, which proved that they had not encountered any danger.
“Wolf one, do you see the river?”
After a while, Mr. Zhou couldn’t help but ask again. Wolf one’s answer was the sa as before, “”No, I didn’t,”
After asking this question twice, Mr. Zhou couldn’t help but feel a little anxious.
The further they walked, the more obvious the faint stench that song qingxiao had slled earlier beca.
They didn’t know how long they had been walking, but they still couldn’t find the river that Mr. Zhou had ntioned. The visibility of the surroundings was a little higher than before. They could vaguely see through the green fog around them and see the group ahead of them winding and silently moving forward until they disappeared into the thick fog. When they looked at it in a daze, it seed like they couldn’t see the end.
Although they didn’t find any rivers, they didn’t find any danger along the way. Everyone’s worried hearts gradually returned to their original place.
However, for so reason, song qingxiao was a little restless.
Having been on the edge of life and death several tis, she instinctively sensed danger. The foul sll around her drifted along the thick fog, making her rub her nose a few tis, which attracted the attention of number seven.
“You…”
Perhaps it was because they didn’t encounter any danger along the way, but everyone gradually relaxed their vigilance. So people even started to joke in a low voice. Number seven had just opened his mouth to say a word, but before he could finish, number six said,”
“There seems to be water up ahead.”
His words lifted everyone’s spirits. The people leading the way were still alive, which proved that there was no danger.
The young man found another water source, which was likely to be the inner River of the island that Mr. Zhou had ntioned. Perhaps the sewage pipe that connected to the Research Institute was nearby.
When the people who had been carrying heavy luggage and walking bitterly heard this, it was as if they had been given a shot of adrenaline. They rushed forward, sweeping away their previous dejection and many people’s footsteps seed to be hurried.
Song qingxiao, No. 7, and No. 1 looked at each other. The workers at the back couldn’t hold back their joy and quickly grabbed their backpacks and followed. They paused for a while and also rushed over.
After No. 6 said that there was water, he must have been standing there waiting for Mr. Zhou. When song qingxiao and the others rushed over, they were almost out of the forest. Following the dim light, they could vaguely ‘see’ a puddle of water about ten ters ahead, hidden in a pile of waterweed.
The water looked shallow. If it wasn’t for number six’s spiritual power, he wouldn’t have noticed it.
However, these puddles were completely different from the ‘inland River on the island’ that Mr. Zhou had ntioned. They couldn’t be called rivers. They were just like the puddles that had been ford by the heavy rain in the early morning. No matter how afraid the crowd was of Mr. Zhou, who controlled everyone’s life and death, when they saw this scene, so people couldn’t help but ask,
“Mr. Zhou, are you sure you didn’t rember wrongly? there’s a River here?”
The ground was uneven and covered with moss and grass. It was slippery. Song qingxiao tried her best to steady herself, afraid that she would slip and fall.
There were many people here, and they were all disappointed to see such a ‘River’. She was worried that sothing unexpected would happen, so she kept her guard up.
“There should be a River here.”
After being questioned, Mr. Zhou answered in a deep voice. The person who asked the question gradually beca more emotional.
“There’s no river here? Could it be that you haven’t been here for many years and rembered wrongly?”
“That’s right!” As soon as this person finished speaking, another worker added,
this is a matter of life and death for everyone. Try to think again. Did you take the wrong path?”
Amidst the noise, song qingxiao’s sharp ears picked up a rustling sound, as if sothing was sighing in the water. A series of bubbles appeared on the water surface, but the group of workers thought that they had been deceived by Mr. Zhou and were making a lot of noise, so they did not notice this..
