Chapter 136: Silence
According to the instructions on the map, everyone needs to pass through this jungle and move towards the northwest, and after determining the goal, Zhou Xueli said:
"It's better to hurry."
She frowned, "This forest is not small, try to pass through it before five o'clock." ”
Zhou Xueli mentioned the time, and suddenly someone asked anxiously:
"Walk through the woods and get to the institute?"
Zhou Xueli didn't look at the person who asked the questioner, and her attitude of ignoring it made the person asking a little irritable:
"Walk through the woods and get to the institute?"
The interrogating worker couldn't help but raise his voice and asked loudly, but the wolf didn't say a word, raised his gun and pointed it at the interrogator, and immediately deterred the person.
Under the pressure, no one dared to ask any more questions, but even if Zhou Xueli didn't say the answer, everyone knew in their hearts that after leaving the forest, it might not be the research institute.
She mentioned that this forest is not small, and it still can't reach the final goal after leaving the forest, which proves that I am afraid that after dark, I will not be able to rush to a safe environment as Mr. Zhou said at the beginning.
This proves that what Mr. Zhou said before is just a vain cake painted for everyone, which is just coaxing.
This fact crushed many people at once, and everyone knows what kind of danger they will encounter after nightfall.
The lives of ordinary people are like mustard on the island, and the status of everyone can be seen from the fact that someone wants an answer and is threatened by bodyguards.
When they encounter danger, I am afraid that they will be the first to be abandoned, and in such an environment, no one will go to great lengths to save them.
When several scholars saw this scene, their faces showed pity, and the workers who asked the question looked desperate and suddenly sat down on the ground:
"I'm not leaving." He muttered, his expression like crying rather than crying:
"It's all dead anyway, you can kill me."
Zhou Xueli glanced at him coldly, and put away the electronic instrument in her hand:
"Let's go."
The wolf didn't look at the man, obviously not wanting to waste even a single bullet on the man.
Although many people sympathized with him, and some ordinary workers wanted to speak for him, seeing that Mr. Zhou and the others had moved, the large army had already entered the woods, and the others dared to stay wherever they came, so they all followed.
The people who were left behind were stunned for a moment, cursed loudly and angrily, cried twice, and hurriedly grabbed something and followed.
When entering the dense woods again this time, it may be because of the dangers encountered before, which caused a lot of people in the team to die, or it may be because of what Zhou Xueli said, or it is more likely that the site of the institute is extremely far away from here, and everyone doesn't know if they have the life to arrive, and everyone is in a heavy mood.
Different from the mood when I entered the island in the early hours of the morning, everyone was hopeful at that time, although some people had already mentioned that the island might encounter danger, but after all, they did not witness it with their own eyes, so even in the dark state, when many people walked side by side, even if some people were worried, but in the end, the atmosphere was quite relaxed.
At this time, everyone had already been frightened by the successive crocodiles, spiders, and white anteaters, and even if the sky had already lit up, everyone was still terrified.
The slightest movement around is enough to make people turn their heads again and again, and with each step, someone will poke and poke the leaves on the ground with a branch in advance.
The consequence of mental tension is that people feel especially tired, and the trialists and bodyguards are in good shape because of their outstanding physique.
Scholar-type men and workers with heavy bags were already sweating and panting.
Some people gradually fell behind, but those walking in front did not dare to stop.
"Wait for me, wait a minute......"
The lagging man cried out twice in despair, and it was so quiet in the mountains and forests that he could only hear the rustle of the leaves as they walked, and when he suddenly cried, it seemed to wake up the whole forest.
'Wait for me...... Wait for me...... Wait I'......'
The echo couldn't help but come from all directions, as if there were people around who were crying for help from the people in the middle, the yin was extremely terrifying, the towering trees above the head fell leaves, and Zhou Xueli, who was half-carrying Mr. Zhou in front of her, turned her head viciously, with murderous intent in her eyes:
"Do you want to lure the beast in?"
The lagging people themselves were also frightened, Zhou Xueli's threat and killing intent made him tremble, and under the strong desire to survive, he didn't know where to get his strength from, and accelerated his pace to catch up with the big team.
As the minutes ticked by, the trees were so leafy that they almost blocked out the sunlight overhead.
Occasionally, a few rays of sunlight spilled in through the gaps in the leaves, and the humidity in the forest was quite heavy, and the temperature was slightly lower, but everyone was sweating profusely and walking with dry mouths.
This forest seems to have no end, and everyone doesn't know how long they have walked, but they don't dare to ask rashly, let alone propose to stop and rest here.
Zhou Xueli said that she should try to pass through the forest before five o'clock in the afternoon.
When she said this, her expression was not very good-looking, proving that she should know something, and it was very likely that there was some danger in the forest, and if she did not go out of the forest after dark, I am afraid that something big would happen.
Under such circumstances, everyone was quite anxious, not only the workers did not dare to grit their teeth to hold on, but even Professor Yan and others and Mr. Zhou did not dare to shout to stop.
'Cough', someone suddenly let out a cough, which attracted everyone's attention.
At this moment, even Song Qingxiao's nerves were tense, let alone other people.
Everyone instinctively turned their heads, and it was a scientist next to Mr. Zhou who coughed, he looked embarrassed, his face was red, his face was red, his soft black hair was sticking to his thin cheeks, and he gasped for breath, as if he had just fished out of the water.
The neckline of the extremely tightly bound protective isolation suit seemed to make him unable to breathe, he was carrying some tools on his back, and his back was bent so badly that he couldn't maintain the demeanor of a scholar at all, and after receiving everyone's gaze, his expression was a little embarrassed.
"Scared to death...... A worker patted his chest, and was only halfway through his words, and hurriedly changed his words:
"Scared me."
On the island, after experiencing the stimulus of other people's death, it seems that the word 'death' is already a big taboo.
Although everyone was lucky not to encounter danger along the way, this forest is very strange, and there are no living creatures except for towering trees.
There was no chirping of insects and birds, only the footsteps of the humans who seemed to have broken into it by mistake were heard, but it was very quiet.
The scientist's unexpected cough paused the team, and the rustling of feet against the leaves came to an abrupt halt.
The quieter it was, the more Song Qingxiao could feel that something was wrong.
She licked her dry lips, wiped the sweat from her forehead, let go of her mental power, and faintly heard the sound of 'whooshing', like the sound of a stream flowing.
