Chapter 137: Waves

Song Qing moved cautiously, and suddenly asked:

"Miss Zhou, what time is it?"

Zhou Xueli, who was asked, was taking advantage of this temporary break to rest, and she and a bodyguard carried Mr. Zhou up at the same time and walked in the forest for a long time, sweating like raindrops, but she never snorted, which is enough to prove her endurance and physical strength.

This is obviously not the time for small talk, if it is someone else who is asking, Zhou Xueli may not pay attention to it at all.

But because it was Song Qingxiao who was asking, she twisted her eyebrows, although her eyes were a little unhappy, she still gasped for a while, and looked at the time:

"It's 4:26."

There was a hint of anxiety on her face as she mentioned the time.

Zhou Xueli said that she would leave the forest at five o'clock in the afternoon, but it was almost half past four o'clock, and she didn't know how long it would take to get out of the forest.

Everyone was very frustrated, and Zhou Xueli trembled and freed her hands to take out the electronic instrument from her bag.

Although Mr. Zhou had been injected with drugs before, his mental strength had improved a lot, but in order to keep up with the pace of the big team when he was in a hurry, most of the time it was equivalent to relying on bodyguards and Zhou Xueli to carry him away.

But he was carrying a silver box in his hand, and he didn't trust others very much, so Zhou Xueli never let go of his hand all the way, so you can imagine how much pressure she was undertaking.

The moment the electronic instrument was taken out, Mr. Zhou stretched out his hand again and clicked on the place where the fingerprint was needed, and after unlocking, the map quickly appeared in front of everyone, and a red dot flashed on the map, representing the location of everyone.

Judging from the large map, it seems that the position of the people has not changed much from before, and the distance they have moved is not large, and those who see this will inevitably have a look of despair on their faces.

The time has come, and everyone has not yet left the forest, and the dangers that may be encountered after night are almost driving people's sanity to the brink of collapse.

Even though many people are already tired and hungry at this time, it is difficult to even raise their legs, but they are anxious to get out of here.

"How long do you have to get out?"

Some people can't help but fan with their hands, desperately doing superfluous small movements, in order to vent their inner uneasiness.

Zhou Xueli slid her hand on the screen and was silent for a while, everyone thought she wouldn't answer, but she said:

"If the map is correct, there should be a stream not far away, and if you go up, you can see a river, which belongs to the upper reaches of the river on the island that we saw when we entered the island earlier." When she said this, she glanced at everyone, and the face that was red and red did not see the color of frost at this time, but showed a little helplessness:

"Walking up the river, a quarter of an hour at most, should be out of the forest."

When everyone heard that they were going to go out of the forest, they couldn't help but perk up, but Zhou Xueli continued:

"But this map is copied from the previous data disk, and after so many years, I don't know if there has been any change."

These words were like a basin of cold water on the head, splashing the excited crowd to the heart.

Everyone instinctively turned their heads to look at the other end of the woods, this forest is deep, the trees grow densely, and at a glance, it seems that there is no end.

Song Qingxiao heard this, but said with a smile:

"Maybe it hasn't changed." She held her breath and listened again, with the blessing of her spiritual power, the five senses of her body that had been strengthened were already much more sensitive than ordinary people, "I heard the sound of water flowing." ”

Song Qingxiao's words not only made the workers happy, but even Professor Yan, Zhou Xueli and others were also happy.

"That's great."

There is indeed a water source nearby, which not only verifies what Zhou Xueli said, proving that everyone is about to walk out of this strange quiet forest, but also shows that the map in Zhou Xueli's hand is still useful, which is a good news for everyone.

When the already tired people heard this, they seemed to have been given a shot in the arm, and they all felt a lot more energetic, Zhou Xueli looked at the map and pointed out the direction of the stream to move forward.

Song Qingxiao was indeed right, after the group walked for nearly five or six minutes, the originally dense trees gradually thinned, and the light was much stronger than before, and at the other end of the forest was a low bush, and the verdant and dense wild grass and uneven stones were already faintly visible.

After seeing the water flow, it proved that as Zhou Xueli said, if you go up around this stream, you will soon be able to get out of this forest.

As soon as I got out of the forest, I seemed to be one step closer to the research institute, and it seemed to be much farther away from danger.

The previous trepidation was replaced by excitement, and everyone scrambled to drag their tired legs forward, and those behind also quickened their pace.

The closer we got to the water's edge, the soil on the ground became much wetter, and above the water was blocked by a grove of green low trees, and the water was quite rapid, winding down, washing away the stones along the way.

The bottom of the stream was paved with pebbles of various sizes, which had become quite round under the years of polishing by the current, and the water was not too deep to drown a person's calves.

Ironically, this small island is an experimental island established by Mr. Zhou's father, and the creatures on the island have been polluted by humans, resulting in genetic changes, but the water in this stream looks extremely clean and clear.

On the meadows on the banks of the stream, there were unknown lilac flowers, and it was already afternoon, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the water, adding a bit of idyllic color to this terrible island.

Along the way, everyone was not only physically tired, but also quite nervous.

On the last night on the ship, no one slept well, and the strange piranhas and the seabirds they encountered during the day were frightened, and then they were attacked by bats at night, and there was little safety that night.

After the ship sank, everyone finally picked up a life, and then went to the island with fear, and then encountered crises one after another, in order to survive, they did not dare to stay for a moment and walked forward with a heavy bag, until this time it was a little relaxed.

"Miss Zhou, why don't you rest for a while?"

Seeing such a scene, many people put the terrifying impression of this island behind for a while, and some people couldn't help but beg, and Zhou Xueli showed an unhappy look on her face.

"Rest for a while, I can't walk anymore."

The man who spoke threw his backpack, which rolled to the grass and overwhelmed a few of the flowers that were in full bloom, and this one picked a clean stone and sat down, unable to stand up again.

Everyone looked tired, including Zhou Xueli, in fact, she was already too tired to walk, she was able to walk before, but she gritted her teeth and relied on that breath to hold on, and once she relaxed at this time, she felt tired even standing and panting.

"Why don't you take a break."

Professor Yan couldn't help but suggest, after many people went to the island, not to mention eating, I'm afraid they haven't even drunk water, and they can't help it until now, "Miss Zhou, you also said that you can walk out of the forest before five o'clock, and now at half past four, walk out from here, at most a quarter of an hour, after ten minutes of rest, it should be too late to get out of the forest at five o'clock!" ”

Several scientists wiped their sweat frequently and nodded their heads.

They are scholar-type characters, and after walking for so long a day, it is already good not to fall behind, and at this time, under Zhou Xueli's gaze, several people's legs are trembling slightly, and they have obviously reached the limit of their bodies.

Except for a few trialists and well-trained wolf and others, the others had chapped lips, some people had sweaty eyes, their faces were swollen and red, and their mouths were panting, needless to say, Zhou Xueli knew that she was probably not much better.

She glanced at Mr. Zhou hesitantly and asked:

"Mr. Zhou......"

Among all the people, Mr. Zhou is in the best condition.

Because of the support of Zhou Xueli and the bodyguards, he walked the most easily, and Professor Yan didn't know what needle he had injected him with before, which made him look much better than when he first came to the island, and now when he heard Zhou Xueli's words, although Mr. Zhou frowned, he finally nodded.

With Mr. Zhou's first pleading, everyone couldn't help cheering, even the wolf seemed to be relieved, and pulled the helmet strap he was wearing, but Zhou Xueli looked at his wrist:

"Since you want to rest, you can only rest for ten minutes at most, and then you will go again immediately after ten minutes."

If she makes such a request again, naturally no one will not agree.

Everyone hurriedly took off the backpack on their bodies and threw it aside, and someone stepped into the water with a 'bang', reached out and splashed the water on their faces, and when the cold water slapped on their faces, many people let out a sigh of satisfaction.

Professor Yan and others also squatted by the stream to wash their hands, and the others found a place to sit or squat, and Zhou Xueli also picked a clean big stone, helped Mr. Zhou to sit down, and took out a wet towel from his bag to wipe Mr. Zhou's face and hands.

Song Qingxiao didn't sit down, this part of the journey was just a little sweat for the trialists who had strengthened their bodies, far from the point where they were so tired that they had to sit and lie down.

She didn't dare to relax her vigilance, but chose a place with a wide field of vision, took out mineral water and a bag of biscuits from her bag, unscrewed the mineral water first, and drank most of the bottles in a row before her eyes fell on Mr. Zhou and Zhou Xueli.

Zhou Xueli only when facing Mr. Zhou, will take off that cold attitude, and when she wipes his face and hands for him, that kind of meticulousness is not like the actions of subordinates to their superiors, but as if there are some inexplicable things in it.

But everyone was busy with their own business at this time, as if they hadn't seen this scene.

After Zhou Xueli wiped Mr. Zhou's face and hands, she took out the food in the bag, tore it open and fed it to Mr. Zhou's mouth first.

She was able to notice Mr. Zhou's needs in time, and after feeding him a few bites, she fed him mineral water, which proved that she was always doing these things.

Song Qingxiao thought for a while, and after drinking most of the half bottle of mineral water, she put the remaining small bottle of water under her armpit, tore off the packaging of the biscuits, grabbed a few biscuits and stuffed them into her mouth.

These biscuits are just for belly wrapping, the taste is not good, and after entering the mouth, it is very dry, Song Qingxiao stuffed it several times in a row, drank the remaining mineral water, swallowed the biscuits into his stomach, and felt full in his stomach.

It may be that the scenery here is picturesque, and everyone has not encountered danger along the way, and a few bodyguards have rarely relaxed for a moment, everyone is talking and laughing, and some people are lying on the grass, squinting as if they are about to fall asleep.

A man got up and walked behind the bushes, and soon disappeared into the grass.

Song Qingxiao let go of her spiritual power, in the sound of 'bang-la-la', she could hear the louder sound of water in the upper stream, and she could also hear the sound of other people laughing in her ears, and the 'coo' sound when Zhou Xueli fed Mr. Zhou to drink water was also clearly audible, and at the other end of the bushes, the sound of 'sighing and banging' should have come from the man who had gone into the woods before.

She let go of her spiritual power a little more, and three or four different breaths broke into the area where her spiritual power was enveloped!

These breaths came quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they were close to everyone.

The crowd by the stream had just relaxed, with a smile on their faces that had survived the catastrophe, eating and soaking in water, some even took off their shoes and soaked a pair of bare feet in the stream, and the people lying on the grass squinted and did not move, not aware that the danger was coming.

The rotting leaves on the ground were gently trampled on and made a 'rustling' sound that was much lighter than when a human stepped on the ground.

"Be careful!"

In a hurry, Song Qingxiao instinctively shouted, but before everyone could react, in the midst of the lightning, I saw that the leaves of the dwarf bushes were squeezed away, swaying slightly, and a gray figure rushed out like lightning, soared into the air, let out a roar, and rushed directly towards a bodyguard sitting next to the stream.

The bodyguard didn't react at all, only heard Song Qing shouting 'Be careful', and then he felt something rushing towards him, mixed with a fishy smell, and a huge mouth like an abyss opened widely, revealing snow-white fangs, aimed at his throat.

Although on the verge of danger, these bodyguards specially hired by Mr. Zhou are extraordinary after all, after he reacted, he already knew that it was too late to get a gun, subconsciously touched his wrist with his backhand, grabbed a dagger, and at the same time fell to the side, directly overwhelming a worker sitting nearby, trying to hide.

During the break, these most ordinary workers instinctively sat on the side of the bodyguard, originally thinking that this would be a certain life safety guarantee, but they didn't expect that they would be pressed by someone as a human flesh pad at the critical moment.

Before the man could react, he was pressed to the ground, and under the impact of the bodyguard, the upper body was pressed into the water in a strange way of folding.

The gray shadow opened its mouth wide and bit into the air, and its upper and lower teeth closed hard under the action of inertia, making a 'click' sound, but the raised claws did not fall short, the claws that opened out flashed with cold light, and the sharp claws were like the sharp tip of a knife, grabbing the chest of the bodyguard.

Only to hear the 'hiss', the flesh and the bodyguard's combat uniform were torn.

The huge body of the gray mutant creature fell into the water with a 'bang', making a large splash, and the people around who were frightened by the unexpected attack finally came to their senses when the water splashed on their bodies.

"Ah......h

Many people let out a scream, and the dagger in the bodyguard's hand also stabbed into the gray shadow under the pain, but the thick fur on the gray shadow blocked most of his attacks, and this desperate attack only left a shallow wound on the thing.

But that's enough.

The purpose of the bodyguard was originally just to take the opportunity to injure it, block its movements, and give itself a chance to escape.

He flexibly rolled to the side, rolled over and sat up, taking the opportunity to close the distance of nearly half a meter.

The hapless ghost who had been crushed in the water by him was dizzy, and instinctively let out a painful groan and tried to sit up.

After the gray shadow fell into the water, it turned its head to reveal a huge gray wolf head, its head turned to make its fluffy fur tremble, and the cold light flashed in its eyes, and the next moment it opened its mouth, 'whoosh', and bit the neck of the man who had just sat up, and shook its head hard.

Before the man could see the scene in front of him clearly, he was immediately bitten in the neck, and when the gray wolf shook his head, his sharp teeth tore half of his throat, and blood spilled out, and splashed on the stream with a 'whoosh', staining the stream red.
