Chapter 376: Island People
Lei Kun walked in the direction of the left for nearly ten minutes, but there was still silence around him, as if there was no life.
There weren't even any flying insects on the tree, which made Lei Kun feel a little surprised.
But I didn't expect that something even more surprising was still to come.
As Lei Kun continued to go deeper, he found that the trees on both sides of this place began to wither gradually, the more in front, the more serious the withering of the trees, at this time Lei Kun saw that the trees had long been without branches and leaves, only bare trunks, if you approached, you would find that even the roots of this tree had begun to rot.
Lei Kun had never seen such a situation before, but one of the two most important reasons that could cause a tree to wither was the problem of water, and the other was the problem of soil.
He pinched a handful of dirt from the ground, put it under his nose and sniffed it carefully, and he smelled a sour smell, like a corpse decomposing.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly threw the dirt in his hand.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from a distance.
One of them said, "How's your experiment going?" ”
Another said: "The integration rate is still too low, it's less than 40 percent now. ”
Lei Kun immediately hid his body when he heard their voices, but his eyes were fixed on the two people.
As the two men walked farther and farther away, their voices became more and more indistinct, until the two of them disappeared completely, and Lei Kun couldn't wait to jump down from the tree.
The roots of the tree he had just jumped on had rotted, and he didn't know if the tree could withstand his weight, but at that time he had no choice but to do so, but fortunately the tree was not completely dead, so he was able to hold on until now.
Just as Lei Kun jumped down, he originally wanted to track down the two men, but in the end he gave up.
After all, he has been out for too long, and if he doesn't go back, I'm afraid it will arouse Kurai's suspicions.
The most important thing is that the figures of those two people have disappeared, and if you want to catch up with them, I am afraid it will take some time, and the chance of being found is extremely high.
Fortunately, Lei Kun can't escape from this island now, so he has a lot of time to investigate all the strange things on this island.
Then he went back the way he came, and just as he reached the wall, he happened to see Kurai walking in his direction with two men.
Kurai was extremely excited when he saw Lei Kun, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Are you okay?" ”
"How could something happen to me." Lei Kun paused for a moment and continued: "It's just that I've gone a little far, so I'm just lost." ”
This explanation is reasonable, after all, the situation outside the walls is extremely complicated, and there are many miasma, even if you get lost, it is not unusual.
It is precisely because of this that Kurai's concerns were dispelled.
He hurriedly pulled Lei Kun in, and said at the same time: "If I haven't found you by dusk, I'm going to take someone to rush in." ”
This was something Lei Kun didn't expect, he looked at Kurai, "It's good that you didn't go in, otherwise you would definitely get lost." ”
The two then laughed at the same time, and just as the two of them returned to the wall, Kurai hurriedly said, "You have to win this boxing match tonight, no matter what." ”
"Oh?" Lei Kun looked at Cangjing, he didn't expect Cangjing to deliberately tell him about this, "It seems that you have bet a lot of money again." ”
"Of course, but ......"
"But what?"
"But this time you're competing with someone else."
"Who?" Lei Kun asked suspiciously.
After all, there are so many people on the island, and after a few days of boxing matches, there are dozens of people who have fought him, so he knows most of them.
Kurasuke immediately showed a worried look, "There is a team of island people on the island, these people have to participate in boxing matches every time, and they will win every time, so you have to rely on you." ”
"I didn't expect you to have so much confidence in me, I knew I could win before I compared, and if I lost, you would lose money."
"Don't worry, I've thought about this a long time ago, so I also bet on the islanders." After saying that, he breathed a sigh of relief, and seemed to be glad that he had made a decision.
After hearing this, Lei Kun pursed his lips, took out all the money on his body, and handed it to Kurasuke, "I'm going to bet on myself to win tonight." ”
Kurusuke looked at Lei Kun's confident appearance and just asked, "Are you sure?" ”
"Of course, it looks like tonight is destined for me to win."
"Those island people are too vicious, and every time they fight with them, they are either killed or injured." After Kurasuke finished speaking, he showed a self-satisfied look.
Lei Kun's eyes rolled at this time, and he hurriedly asked, "Which of these island people's strength is better than the leader?" ”
Kurasuke looked at Lei Kun's eyes, and hurriedly said: "Of course, the leader is better, but how can the identity of the leader be with them." ”
Lei Kun smiled slightly after hearing this, obviously not taking these people into account.
As long as those people are not the leader's opponents, they are naturally not his opponents.
He glanced at Kurasuke at this time, "I advise you to re-evaluate the stakes, otherwise I'm afraid you'll lose all your money." ”
"Don't worry, I've already thought about it."
In the afternoon, Lei Kun completely handed over the task of patrolling the west side to Kurasuke, while he rested in the lounge, as if he was recuperating for the night's boxing match.
However, Lei Kun did not fall asleep, because he really felt more and more curious about everything here, and there was also a trace of worry.
From the very beginning of building the base, to the trees they saw in the afternoon, to the conversation between the two men, it was clear that they were doing some research here.
It is impossible for the leader not to know about their research project, and it must be that the leader of this matter is also involved, but what they are researching, Lei Kun does not know.
He thought about it for a whole afternoon and couldn't figure it out.
In fact, what worries him the most is those island people, and he doesn't know what their identities are, once he recognizes him, then I'm afraid things will not be good.
At this time, he finally opened his eyes, and he looked at the clouds in the sky outside, it seemed that it was already dusk, and it must not be long before the boxing match in the evening.
His heart was full of anticipation, after all, this kind of opportunity to make money is not common.
It wasn't until it was dark that he stood up lazily, he looked at Kurai who hurriedly ran in, and said with a smile: "You are in such a hurry, what happened?" Could it be that it is on fire? ”
"Of course not, the boxing match is about to start, and the leader asked me to call you." Kurai gasped for breath before speaking.
"I'm ready, let's go." After Lei Kun finished speaking, he took the lead and walked out.
But what Lei Kun didn't expect was that Kurai actually took him directly to the fourth floor, which was still the same room, and there were still a few pirates standing at the door.
Lei Kun pushed the door with some curiosity and walked in.
The room was equally silent, and the leader stood at the window, with his back to Lei Kun.
Lei Kun was not polite, and after sitting down, he asked straight to the point: "What did the leader tell me?" ”
The leader only turned around at this time, and he looked at Lei Kun, "Did Kurasuke tell you about the night's boxing match?" ”
"Anyway, it's just a boxing match, don't worry, you won't lose."
"That's the best, but you can't take it lightly, these people have endless moves, you shouldn't be careless."
This sentence made Lei Kun nervous, because he heard a trace of solemnity in the leader's tone, and felt that this boxing match at night seemed to be a little uncertain.
But no matter what, he will definitely do his best, otherwise his money will be wasted.
