Chapter 146: Trouble

The water that lapped against the cliff wall had already fallen, but the lingering palpitations remained in everyone's hearts.

"Miss Zhou, are you sure that after crossing the mountain, it will be the research institute?"

After a tiring day and making sure that they could take a break for a while, many people lie on the ground, and it is difficult to even lift their eyelids.

There are a few flashlights on the ground that have not been turned off, and everyone needs a little light to support them at this time.

"After crossing the mountain, we are close to the research institute."

Zhou Xueli was also worried that people's hearts were scattered, and she and Mr. Zhou still needed the help of these people, so at such a moment, she did not maintain her previous cold appearance, and after taking two breaths, she replied to this question.

"If you're close to the institute, will you be able to go home soon?"

"Yes." Mr. Zhou's somewhat hoarse voice carried a hint of coaxing, "After crossing this mountain, after arriving at the research institute, you will be able to go home soon." ”

He hadn't spoken much for a day, and his voice seemed to come out of his dry throat, and it felt like it was rubbing on the sandpaper, which was very harsh.

As soon as Zhou Xueli heard him speak, she instinctively wanted to reach out and touch the bag, but she felt empty.

When the wolves raided, her bag landed by the stream and was not picked up, and when she was in a hurry, she was less burdensome and naturally couldn't notice that something was wrong, at this time, Zhou Xueli touched her body, and immediately frowned.

"Who has water?"

She cleared her throat and asked.

At first, she didn't care, but it wasn't until she asked, no one answered, and Zhou Xueli realized that something was not quite right.

"Who has any extra water?"

She raised her voice and asked again.

When she spoke, she was torn apart because she was too hard, and the blood gushing out moistened her mouth, bringing bursts of stinging pain and blood.

"I lost my bag......"

Someone said a sentence weakly, and this sentence was like a signal, and someone spoke one after another:

"I, my bag was lost too......"

Zhou Xueli's heart began to sink straight, she turned her head to look around, most of the people were sitting or lying, even a few bodyguards were sitting together with their legs bent, and the lights from the flashlights thrown on the ground were all over the place, illuminating the platform with a little light.

"Have you lost all your bags?"

The word 'all' made everyone a little panicked.

At first, when the ship was dragged into the sea by a monster in the deep sea, a lot of supplies fell on the ship, and many people grabbed a lot of them when they went to the island, and it was too heavy and cumbersome to carry all the way.

After losing a bag, many people vaguely felt relaxed and didn't think it was a big deal.

Everyone is afraid of losing their lives when they encounter mutant creatures, and they are also worried that there will be not enough bullets and they will not be able to fight back when danger comes.

No one has ever been afraid of the problem of insufficient supplies.

After all, if one person loses his bag, it doesn't matter, and others must have more.

Including Mr. Zhou and Zhou Xueli, everyone thinks so.

So whether it is in danger or resting, everyone's first reaction is to lose the backpack more easily, no one expected that now Zhou Xueli asked about the water source, and everyone found that many people lost their backpacks.

Zhou Xueli realized the seriousness of the problem and couldn't help but ask again:

"Who's lost their bag?" She pursed her lips, this action made the wound on her lips crack deeper, and the blood beads oozed more quickly, but as if she didn't notice it, she stuck out her tongue and licked her lips:

"The person who lost the bag raises his hand."

In the sound of 'brushing, brushing' clothes, someone raised their hands one after another.

Zhou Xueli was anxious, and picked a flashlight to shine it one by one.

The person who was illuminated by her light subconsciously narrowed his eyes, stretched out his hand to block his face, and Zhou Xueli said in his mouth:

“1、2、3…… 6、7……”

With each number, her heart became a little colder.

At present, there are a total of 22 people alive in the team, four trialists, five bodyguards, five scientists, Mr. Zhou, Zhou Xueli and workers.

Among the 22 people, five professors came to the island with suitcases and backpacks related to research equipment, and did not carry supplies to increase their burden.

In this way, there are only 17 people left carrying the materials, and among these 17 people, except for Song Qingxiao's four and five bodyguards, none of the workers lost their backpacks, and one of the workers still carried bags, and the backpacks of the others were gone!

The problem is very serious, everyone can rest after fatigue and continue to hurry, but on this desert island, there is no food and water is a very fatal problem.

After hearing Zhou Xueli's count, the person lying on the ground couldn't help but turn over and sit up, and asked in a panic:

"Have you lost all your bags?"

The questioner looked left and right, but saw that many people around him were acting similarly to him, and everyone was anxious on their faces.

Even if they rushed to the site of the institute and dialed the satellite distress number, the rescuers did not know how long it would take for them to arrive, and everyone needed to eat and drink before that.

There is no food on the island, and even if there is, there are contaminated things, and I am afraid that no one will dare to eat them, and the water will not dare to drink it.

Today, the scene of No. 4 being 'digested' by the transparent things in the waterhole remained in everyone's hearts like a nightmare, and now everyone shuddered when they mentioned the 'water' on the island, how dare they approach it?

"Mr. Zhou, what should I do?"

I didn't feel it when I was extremely tired, but now when I heard about the lack of food and water, everyone felt dry and hungry.

"There are still ten backpacks in now, which proves that there are at least ten more supplies, so don't panic."

Mr. Zhou's face sank at first, and then his expression became calm again, he motioned to Zhou Xueli to help him stand up, looked at the wolf and the others sitting not far away, and finally looked at Song Qingxiao and others who had been standing from beginning to end.

After the four of them came out of the dense forest, they did not lie on the ground like the others, but kept standing, as if they were very vigilant, standing not far from each other, looking around.

"Wolf One."

Food has now become precious, and in the hands of a few means that others need to starve and thirst.

These people include Mr. Zhou, Zhou Xueli and scientists, and once Mr. Zhou asks for help, his status as the absolute leader of this group of people will change.

His authority will be challenged, and if people waver in his words, it is very likely that in the next danger, these people will no longer fight desperately for him.

Mr. Zhou quickly thought of the bad consequences, and he decided to start with a few bodyguards and ask them to hand over the food and distribute it by himself.

This group of people was hired by him, he loved money, and he used the research results to impress Wolf One, and they began to persuade that as long as they promised to add more money, it should work.

"Put all the supplies here with me first, and everyone will distribute them uniformly, and no one will starve to death."

What he said greatly calmed the panic and anxiety of many people.

After Mr. Zhou finished speaking, the wolf sat down on the ground, as if he had not heard his words, and did not move.

Several bodyguards removed the gauze wrapped in their hands and were wiping the sweat from their faces, leaving only the sound of panting and the crashing of the waves.

A huge wave of 'boom' hit again, and the whole platform was filled with a 'buzzing' echo, and the majesty of nature made a group of people tremble with fear.

Everyone's anxious eyes wandered on Mr. Zhou, Wolf Yi and others, some suspicious, some uneasy, and a little helpless.

"Wolf One!" Mr. Zhou's voice began to sink, and when he shouted the word 'wolf one' again, the palm locked with the silver suitcase bent downward, and his fingertips tapped the box, making a 'click' sound, and the intention was self-evident.

Seven watched this scene with great interest, and the dark side of human nature began to show its first signs at this time.

The wolf seemed to be smiling, the spear was leaning at his feet, he took a dagger, and was wiping it with the gauze in his hand, ignoring Mr. Zhou's call.
