Chapter 125: A Lively Night
"Do you have to live here?" David looked around and said reluctantly.
"There seems to be a magnetic field interfering with the compass, and there's no sun in sight, no direction, Professor Bonnie, can you see through the soil?" Quake explained, asking Professor Bonnie if she was a famous geographer, and maybe she had some other way of getting around.
"I'm sorry, I can't help it, the soil here is very different from what I've seen, plus there is not the slightest vegetation here, so I can't confirm it either." Professor Bonnie's words undoubtedly pronounced the death penalty.
As a last resort, everyone had to accept the conclusion that they would stay here tonight.
Zhao Qi had also tried to feel some of the entire island with his divine thoughts, but it ended up due to this dense dead air, and now Zhao Qi was almost blank except for the visual range of a radius of tens of meters, and he couldn't peek at it.
Before they went ashore, they had considered the possibility of living on the island, and the bags they carried with them contained miniature tents and sleeping bags. But camping on this endless plain is clearly not a good option.
"Let's go more to the island and see if we can find a cave." Professor Charles looked around and said to the crowd.
And while Zhao Qi and the others were looking for temporary accommodation on Skull Island, Skull Island, a place of death that had not been set foot for decades, ushered in a second wave of guests in one day.
Looking at the cruise ship in front of him, Batu, who was standing on the cabin, looked at it with a telescope for a long time.
Zhao Qi's terrifying force made Batu very jealous before, and at this time it had been determined that the "Wisdom Crown" was in their hands, so Batu did not dare to rashly launch an attack, hoping to regain the "Wisdom Crown" from their hands.
"Stay close to that yacht." After Batu said to the bottom, the boat Batu was riding on slowly approached Zhao Qi's yacht.
Armed with a machine gun, Batu climbed into the yacht with a few Thais, and cautiously felt inside.
But obviously. His caution was completely useless, and the interior of the cabin was already empty.
"Lord Batu, there's no one here." A Thai man said after searching the cabin for a long time.
"Have you found the whereabouts of the 'Crown of Wisdom'?" Batu asked.
"Nope." The Thais' reply made Batu's heart sink, and Batu turned his head to look at Skull Island not far ahead.
"They should be on this island, let's go in and find them." Batu said to the Thai.
Considering the yacht he brought with him and the yacht Zhao Qi was riding side by side, Batu took a dozen of his men and entered Skull Island in a small boat with guns.
……
The sky gradually darkened, but Zhao Qi and his party were still looking for a place to live.
"Professor Charles, there seems to be a hill ahead, and there may be some caves." Quake put down the binoculars in his hand. Said to the crowd.
After receiving reliable information, the group headed for the hill that Quake had mentioned.
After walking for about ten minutes, a small mountain composed of stones appeared in front of everyone, and in this hill, there were countless small holes densely distributed, which looked like a honeycomb, and felt very permeable.
"Can this place be inhabited?" David asked, confused.
"It's all plains all around, and only this place has a mountain to lean on, so let's go in and find it. You might find a cave. Lily said, looking around.
After a lot of searching, halfway up the hill, a small cave appeared in everyone's eyes.
The cave is small in size and looks like it was formed naturally. It's just that just like at the foot of the mountain before, there are countless small holes in the walls of the cave.
"What the hell are these little holes? How does it look the same as an ant's nest? David said after touching the small hole.
"Let's go here, after all, it's better to have a cave than to be surrounded by enemies outside. But tonight we're going to take turns keeping vigil. Professor Charles said after looking at his surroundings.
"Exactly eight of us. Divide into four batches, each with a two-hour vigil. Professor Duncan suggested.
"That's not good, the three professors are not young. Let me and Quake do it. Zhao Qi said.
"Qi is right, let me keep vigil with Zhao Qi." Quake nodded in agreement.
The vigil was decided, and the next step was to set up the tent and dinner.
Dinner was very simple, and now everyone was not interested in cooking on the fire, so they took out the food they brought and made up a meal and it was completely over.
Tonight's vigil is in charge of Zhao Qi and Quake, Quake is in charge of the first half of the night, and Zhao Qi is in charge of the second half of the night. After dinner, everyone lay down in their sleeping bags one by one and went to rest, and gradually, a few gentle breaths came out of the cave.
"Da ......" A series of slight gunshots woke up Zhao Qi, who had just fallen asleep.
Zhao Qi carefully distinguished, and after confirming that it was indeed a gunshot, he quickly got up.
The crudely constructed camp was quiet, and the others apparently did not hear the extremely low gunfire, and were still asleep.
"Qi, did you hear that too?" After Zhao Qi got out of the sleeping bag, he heard the voice of Quake next to him.
At this time, the camp was very dark, and the black man Quake seemed to have appeared out of thin air, and there was hardly anything to be seen except for the two rows of front teeth.
"Did you hear that, too?" Zhao Qi lowered his voice and asked.
"Well, how can there be gunshots here? Could it be that there are other people living here? Quake asked, confused.
"It's absolutely impossible, it's completely uninhabitable, how can anyone live here." Zhao Qi shook his head and said.
"Then there is only one possibility, and that is that someone has come ashore after us." Quake's analysis made Zhao Qi nod, but Zhao Qi couldn't figure out who it was.
"Either way, we have to be extra careful, it's uncertain whether the other side is friend or foe, and they have guns in their hands." Quake said.
"Well, neither of us will sleep tonight, let's just watch here." Zhao Qi sat at the entrance of the cave and kept vigil with Quake.
At this time, on the other side of Skull Island, not far from the cave where Zhao Qi and the others were, Batu and they were in great trouble.
On this ashore, except for one person who remained in the cabin to guard the two yachts, the other fifteen people were brought ashore by Batu.
Fresh ashore, they were initially startled by the desolation of the island. However, they were all time-tested warriors, and they were not afraid of anything, and cautiously touched the island of Skull.
Batu and their luck were good, they never encountered anything after they came ashore, but they never found the slightest trace of the expedition, so they could only search aimlessly on the island.
"Lord Batu, it's getting dark now, shall we go back to the ship for the night or find a nearby place to spend the night?" A Thai man walked up to Batu and said.
Listening to the Thai man's words, Batu's brow furrowed.
"If you don't find someone, what are you going to do? Spend the night right on this island. ”
"Yes." When the Thais heard Batu's words, they immediately ordered the crowd to disperse and set up the camp.
They didn't choose to find a cave to spend the night like Zhao Qi and the others, they just set up camp in the plains, but they were more than a dozen people, and each of them was a well-trained warrior, plus the guns in their hands, they were not afraid of anything.
After the camp was set up, it was getting dark, but the uninvited guests slowly approached them.
The first was a Thai who was keeping vigil when his throat was bitten by a skeleton lion.
The screams woke everyone in the camp, and when Batu stepped out of the tent, he was surrounded by horrible creatures.
Each of these creatures was made of bones, and the hollow eyes were fixed on them, making them feel extremely creepy.
Batu, who had never seen such a situation, was shocked in his heart, but he also gave the battle order very quickly.
In an instant, bullets erupted from the guns and were fired at the creatures.
But firearms are useful for ordinary creatures, and obviously have no effect on these animals that have no flesh, only skeletons, and bullets pass through the skeletons of these animals, and even if they are hit in the body, the bones of the bullets are shattered, but they cannot completely kill them.
After some tug-of-war, Batu finally smashed all the monsters that came to smithereens, but the fifteen men who came when they came also became nine. Six people were bitten beyond recognition by these monsters and died.
"Huhu ......" Batu, who was dressed in rough clothes, sat on the ground, and the scene just now deeply stimulated his nerves. He didn't expect that when he was thinking hard about Zhao Qi, he would have to face such a terrifying enemy.
"Lord Batu, what do we do now?" A Thai man walked up with a sad face and asked.
"We ...... We" hesitated for a moment, and Batu gritted his teeth.
"No rest at all, stay here until dawn, go find those guys tomorrow, and we'll leave after getting the 'Crown of Wisdom'." In any case, the "Crown of Wisdom" is always the top priority, although Batu has already retreated, but when he thinks that the "Crown of Wisdom" is still in Zhao Qi's hands, Batu can only grit his teeth and resist.
The only nine men stood in one position, guarding the surroundings. But at this time, the unthinkable happened again.
The six Thais who had already died let out an inhuman roar slowly got up and slowly walked towards them...... (To be continued......)
