The smell of the island is not good, the smell of rotting leaves mixed with the smell of methane gas after the mildew of the dark and damp environment, and the stench of decomposing animal carcasses and the faint smell of blood to form a unique smell.

The feeling of stepping on the ground is different from that on the beach, the ground is covered with dead branches and leaves, and every time you step on it, you will sink into it, and you will feel the water contained in the ground spreading up through the branches and leaves, overflowing at your feet, and every time you lift your feet, it makes a small sound.

The sound of the wind, rain and waves was gradually isolated, and the temperature around them was colder than outside, especially after falling into the water, the people had not yet dried, and as soon as they entered the forest, many people subconsciously shivered, and goosebumps on their bodies instantly climbed up.

The surroundings were very quiet, only the rustle of stepping on dead branches and broken leaves was heard when everyone walked, and dozens of people in a group held their breath, not daring to make the slightest extra sound.

Occasionally, a huge bag on someone's back brushes the grass, which can make the people who travel with them shiver for a long time.

I don't know if I encountered several mutated creatures one after another before I went to the island, which made the people on the boat frightened for a long time, and they felt that there seemed to be a lot of danger lurking around them at the slightest breeze.

In such an environment, Song Qingxiao didn't dare to hold it up, released his spiritual power, and vigilantly observed the surroundings.

No. 1 is also very dignified, in comparison, No. 7 may be because of the bloodline mutation, in such a dark environment, Song Qingxiao noticed that she turned her head frequently, as if her vision was not greatly affected by the dark environment.

'Tick', a drop of falling water sounded, and suddenly a man in the team howled miserably:

"Ahh

His exclamation frightened the group, and even No. 1, who was standing beside Song Qingxiao, twisted his body and put on a defensive posture, and No. 7 turned his hand into a claw.

Needless to say, the other ordinary people in the team were even more unbearable, and some people sat on the ground and couldn't get up for half a day.

The team was forced to stop, and many people bit their lipes and did not dare to scream, and those who screamed at first fell silent after making a noise.

"What happened?" Everyone waited for a moment as if they were facing a great enemy, but they did not encounter any danger, and after a while, someone in the team finally couldn't bear it anymore, and someone in front of him lowered his voice angrily and asked, and after a while, the man who screamed at the beginning muttered:

"Just now, a drop of water just fell on my face."

As soon as his voice fell, everyone who had been frightened and frightened before was angry, and they all scolded angrily in unison.

"You don't want to die and don't bother us, okay?"

"Next time you scream if you don't have anything to do, get out of the team!"

“……”

Seeing that everyone's emotions were about to get out of control, Mr. Zhou's voice sounded with hidden anger:

"Don't make any noise."

It's okay to quarrel on the beach for a while, but now it's even more noisy when you enter the forest, this group of people has poor psychological quality, and the slightest little thing will be scared.

"Wolf One." He called, and soon a man's voice came from ahead:

"Mr. Zhou."

"Do you see the stream?" Mr. Zhou took a deep breath and asked.

From the position of the wolf's voice, Song Qingxiao roughly judged that he was nearly ten meters away from him, from entering the forest to the present, everyone was afraid of encountering danger, although they walked very slowly, but the team also walked more than a few dozen meters.

The stream that Mr. Zhou mentioned before was about a few dozen meters away from the starting point of everyone before, and after walking for such a period of time, the people in front of him had not yet discovered the river and water source.

In this case, either the number of years is long and Mr. Zhou remembers the distance wrongly, or the place where Mr. Zhou looked at the map was too short, and the judgment of the direction of everyone's positioning was wrong, so the person who opened the road in front of him went in the wrong direction.

In either case, it's unsettling.

"Nope." When the voice of the wolf came back, the atmosphere in the team suddenly dropped to freezing.

"Do you want to go further? Mr. Zhou? ”

When Wolf Yi's question came, Mr. Zhou's voice was a little dry:

"Go on."

At such a point, it is unrealistic to go backwards, the ship has been destroyed, and there is no way for everyone to go back the way they came.

The call for rescue can only be made by satellite contact in the research institute, and the only way in front of everyone is to grit their teeth and move forward.

The surroundings were quiet again, and everyone walked forward about ten meters away, and with each step, everyone was as careful as if they were walking on the tip of a knife.

Fortunately, there was no sound ahead, and no news at this time was the best news, proving that they were not in any danger.

"Wolf One, do you see the river?"

After a while, Mr. Zhou couldn't hold back and asked again, and Wolf Yi's answer was still the same as before: "No." ”

After asking questions repeatedly, Mr. Zhou couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

The further he went, the more obvious the stench that Song Qingxiao had smelled before.

I don't know how long I walked, but the stream and river that Mr. Zhou said before have not been discovered, but the visibility of the surroundings is a little higher than before, and you can vaguely see the winding and silent forward team in front of you through the surrounding green fog, until you sink into the dense fog, and look at it in a trance, as if you can't see the end.

Although the river was not found, fortunately, there was no danger after walking this way, and everyone's original hearts gradually fell back to their original places.

But for some reason, Song Qingxiao was a little irritable.

Several experiences on the edge of life and death made her instinctively aware of danger, and the foul smell around her drifted down the thick fog, causing her to rub her nose uncomfortably several times, attracting the attention of Seven next to her.

"You ......"

Perhaps because there was no danger along the way, everyone gradually relaxed their vigilance, and some people even whispered and laughed, as soon as No. 7 opened his mouth to say a word, and before the rest of the words were finished, he heard the young man No. 6 in front of him say:

"There seems to be water up ahead."

His words lifted everyone's spirits, and the people leading the way in front were still alive, proving that there was no danger.

The young man No. 6 found another source of water, which was most likely the inland river on the island that Mr. Zhou had mentioned, and the sewage pipe connecting the research institute was nearby.

When the people who had carried heavy bags and had been walking miserably heard this, they were all busy rushing forward like a shot in the arm, sweeping away the decadence that they had not dared to go forward before, and many of them seemed to be hurrying forward.

Song Qingxiao, No. 7 and No. 1 glanced at each other, and several workers after the break couldn't hold back the joy in their hearts, and they all hurriedly grabbed their backpacks and followed, and several people paused for a while and rushed over.

After No. 6 found that there was water after speaking, he should have stood in place and waited for Mr. Zhou, when Song Qingxiao and a few others rushed over, they were already about to leave the forest, and along the unclear light, they could vaguely 'see' the watery pit about ten meters away in front of them, hidden in a pile of water and grass.

The water looks shallow, and if it weren't for the blessing of Six's spiritual power, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been able to detect this.

But these puddles are very different from what Mr. Zhou said about the 'inland river on the island', which cannot be called a river, just like the puddles made by a heavy rain in the early hours of this morning, even if the crowd is afraid of a boss like Mr. Zhou who controls the power of life and death of everyone, when they see this scene, some people can't help but ask:

"Mr. Zhou, are you sure you remember correctly, is there a river here?"

The position under everyone's feet is not gentle, high and low, there seem to be a lot of uneven stones on the ground, firmly wrapped by moss and aquatic plants, a little slippery, Song Qingxiao tried his best to stabilize his body, he was afraid that he would accidentally step on his feet and fall to the ground.

There were a lot of people here, and everyone was disappointed and emotional because they saw such a 'river', and she was worried about what was going on, and she kept her vigilant.

"Indeed, there should be a river here."

After being questioned, Mr. Zhou replied in a deep voice, and the questioner's emotions gradually rose:

"There's no river here, huh? Could it be that you haven't been here for years and remember it wrongly? ”

"That's it!" As soon as the man's voice fell, another worker said:

"It's a matter of life and death for everyone, if you try to think about it, have you taken the wrong path?"

In the midst of everyone's noisy and shouting, Song Qingxiao keenly heard the sound of 'rustling', as if something was sighing in the water, and several strings of bubbles appeared on the surface of the water, but a group of workers thought that they were deceived by Mr. Zhou and made a lot of noise, so they didn't pay attention to this.

Song Qingxiao's mental strength is outstanding, and her sense of hearing is very sharp after her body is strengthened, plus she has been concentrating and catching this sound, this voice is not quite right, she instinctively lifted her feet and wanted to retreat.

Originally, she and No. 1, No. 7 and others were standing at the back, but everyone rushed forward, and when they knew that there was no danger in the rear, there were always some people who were greedy for life and afraid of death who would retreat to the back, and many people almost cut off the road that had retreated to the forest before.

There was a water source ahead, and there were people on the left and right, and she quietly tried to make her way around the crowd to the right.

As soon as she moved, the number one, seven, and three, who had been watching her closely, sensed that something was wrong, and they also moved.

No. 6 was still at the scene, and after knowing that he was a mental power power, Song Qing didn't dare to expose her mental power in front of him, she retreated seven or eight steps, and was already several meters away from the crowd, standing on the edge of the far right, and several other trialists also slowly moved and followed.

Even No. 6 sensed that something was wrong, and when he moved this way, Zhou Xueli seemed to notice this, and whispered a few words in Mr. Zhou's ear, Mr. Zhou raised his head and looked in the direction where Song Qingxiao was.

It's a pity that he was surrounded by dissatisfied workers at this time, and he couldn't get out for a while, he just felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't go in the direction where Song Qingxiao was.

"Make it clear!"

The worries and fears that had been going on all the way turned into great uneasiness after discovering that Mr. Zhou might be 'lying', and all kinds of negative emotions broke out in the hearts of the workers, and many people thought that since Mr. Zhou would lie about the river at this time, he would most likely make a fuss about going to the institute to make a satellite call for help.

Angry under the crowd pushed, these workers for safety, standing densely, the ground is uneven, and wrapped in moss, perennial soak in this muddy water, very slippery, even standing is very difficult, at this time a push, soon someone will stand unsteady, a butt falls.

There is a slope below, not very sloping, connected to the water source, about seventy or eighty centimeters from the ground where everyone is standing, the man fell down and rolled out two or three meters away, as if he had crushed something halfway, only to hear the cracking sound of 'click' kept coming, which reminded Song Qingxiao of the broken egg.

A large amount of mucus splashed out, not only soaking most of his body, but even a few people standing nearby were not spared, and they were splashed in the face.

With the lubrication of this slime, he fell half a meter away and fell directly into the mud puddle, splashing some sewage.

The man was dizzy, but because he was covered by a water weed pad when he fell, and the mud in the water was soft and soft, it was not a big deal.

But when he stood up, he reached out and wiped his face, his hands were full of sticky liquid, and after being stained with sewage, drops slowly dripped down from his fingers, he took his hand to the end of his nose and sniffed it, and scolded:

"! What's it, so disgusting! ”

Before he could scold someone for pushing him down, the calm muddy puddle suddenly changed.

About a meter or so behind him, a piece of ground suddenly bulged out on the seemingly calm and waveless surface of the water.

It was as if something was hiding underneath and was about to burst out of the ground.

A little sewage rippled on both sides, and something came out of the mud, forming a small hill on the surface of the puddle.

Before the people on the shore could scream in amazement, the 'hill' suddenly changed, and a sigh of 'whew' rang out, and now everyone could hear it clearly, even the man who was half-sitting in the mud.

He tried to turn his head to look behind him, but the hill behind him moved, and under the reflection of the water, everyone could clearly see two beams of gloomy scarlet luster on the hill, which made people shudder.

When the man who fell into the puddle turned his head, he met the two beams of light, and he was suddenly paralyzed with fright, and he couldn't even get out the strength to speak.

In the next moment, the water surface moved even more violently, and the traces of underwater turmoil spread to about ten centimeters behind the man, the water surface was opened, and a large mouth full of sharp jagged teeth suddenly appeared, and the room was closed, only to hear a 'click' sound, and the man bit into his mouth.

He barely had time to scream before a strong smell of blood spread, and the upper half of his body was bitten into his mouth, broken in two by the monster's huge bite, and the lower half of his body fell to the surface of the water with a spurting of blood, splashing a splash.
