Chapter 144: Digestion

But the more scared they are, the more many people lose the strength to climb up.

Although Zhou Xueli shouted a lot of bonuses, she also had to have her life to receive this money.

After she finished shouting, no one paid attention to her, and Zhou Xueli raised the price loudly in a panic:

"1000 million!"

"2000 million!" In the 'buzz' sound, the insect swarm got closer and closer, Zhou Xueli shouted hoarsely, and seeing that everyone was unmoved, she added another number to it:

"Push Mr. Zhou, whoever takes the force, give priority to the return trip!"

Under the heavy reward, there was finally a person who was excited, and a worker freed up one hand to push Mr. Zhou.

Once someone moves first, others can't be stable, in order to survive and money, they all go to help, with the help of everyone, and the bodyguards help, Mr. Zhou was quickly and smoothly sent to the top of the cliff.

After this burden was gone, the speed of Wolf Yi and Zhou Xueli was obviously faster than before, and after several young scientists climbed to the top of the cliff one after another, only Professor Yan and the two workers were left behind.

"Pull me along."

The rest of the team had already gone up first, and the two workers who were lagging behind were suddenly in a hurry.

Several young scholars squatted down to pull Professor Yan, he was old, and his movements were not very agile, and when he reached out to grab the scholar's hand, the box he had been carrying in his hand did not grasp it steadily, and it fell down.

"Ah......" Professor Yan hurriedly tried to reach out to fish, but a scholar looked up, his eyes were red with anxiety:

"Don't want Teacher Yan!"

The swarm has already flown over, less than two meters away from the cliff wall, and if it stays any longer, it will not be able to pick up anything, and it may even cost its life.

Professor Yan had a sad look on his face, and finally gritted his teeth and put his hand on it.

The crowd pulled him up, and the box stumbled and rolled down, almost hitting a worker who was climbing up below.

When the worker noticed that something was falling, he instinctively turned sideways to dodge, and the grass vine he grabbed had been grabbed and pulled when the person in front of him was climbing, and half of the roots had been exposed, and he was not very stable in his grasp.

The worker's face was flustered, and when he tried to regain his grip to stabilize his body, it was too late.

He fell straight down from his unsteady standing, the cliff was not high, he climbed just over two meters, and if he fell, he would hit the grass at most, and he could get up again.

So although he panicked, he was not very afraid.

But when he fell, it wasn't the thick grass that caught him, but the 'buzzing' swarm of flying insects.

'Ah......' The swarm of insects quickly surrounded the worker's terrible screams, and the remaining man took advantage of this opportunity to quickly climb to the top of the cliff.

A large number of black flying insects covered this person, and in almost two or three seconds, he was already out of breath.

Those who climbed the cliff were relieved to get their lives back.

Professor Yan looked back and saw that the black flying insects were still circling around the fallen workers, and he shivered, his face turned pale, and he still had palpitations.

The box he dropped rolled in the grass, unusually conspicuous, and his face showed regret, it should contain some of the precious samples he had collected before, but it was lost by this time.

In such a situation, even if it is a heavy reward, I am afraid that no one will dare to risk their lives to pick it up.

When the others saw Professor Yan's lost expression, they didn't know how to comfort him.

The death of the worker bitten by the black flying insects below was not the same as that of No. 6 and the others, his corpse expanded and deformed at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it had doubled in the blink of an eye, and the shape was hideous, and the insects did not leave his corpse, but had the intention of settling down on him.

In this way, the risk of other people being bitten is reduced, and the hearts of those who survive are put back in place.

Zhou Xueli gasped twice, and shouted with a strong spirit:

"Get out of here first."

The survivors of the catastrophe gasped for breath, as if they wanted to vent their fears of not daring to breathe when they were chased by wolves.

Seven suddenly said:

"Look there."

She pointed in the direction of the pool, No. 4, who had been wrapped in the film before, was like a wax figure in the heat at this time, and it began to melt in the film, and after a while, even her facial features were a little blurred.

It was a horrific scene that is hard to describe in words.

Four's body was wrapped in a translucent film, and under the washing of the turbulent water, it swirled in the middle of the pool, melting little by little.

Everyone looked down from above, the afterglow of the setting sun was blocked by the cliff wall, the light below was much darker, and the waterhole was dark and bottomless, like a giant beast, with its mouth open to devour people.

"What the hell is this?" Even if it wasn't himself who died, when he saw No. 4's death, some people still shuddered and couldn't help muttering:

"What the hell is this place?"

It was not Mr. Zhou who responded to him, but the person who has been with him until now and is lucky to be alive: "Alcatraz ......"

"This must be Alcatraz!"

The voice of the person who spoke trembled, but his tone was very firm, Mr. Zhou did not reprimand, even the bodyguard, Professor Yan and others did not speak, as if acquiescing to his identification.

"Let's go."

Zhou Xueli wiped her face and tried her best to swallow a mouthful of saliva.

It's a bit difficult for her to make this action now, after walking for a day, everyone is tired and hungry, and their mouths are dry, and it is difficult for ordinary people to persevere, not to mention that she is still supporting Mr. Zhou such a burden.

Everyone is nervous at any time, or they are in the moment of running for their lives, and they can't care about eating, drinking, and solving other problems.

Her voice was much hoarse, her originally beautiful face was embarrassed at this time, sweat was all over her face, her messy hair was pressed against her cheeks, she looked tired, her face was pale, her lips were chapped, her lips were cracked when she spoke, and blood beads went straight out.

When she was by the stream before, she only cared about taking care of Mr. Zhou, and fed Mr. Zhou food and water, but before she could eat, she encountered a surprise attack by wolves, and fled in a hurry Until now, Zhou Xueli is relying on willpower to insist.

The sun is sinking little by little, the light and shadow are gradually disappearing, and the darkness is about to cover the earth.

The hopes of the living in the ranks also sank as the light dimmed, and all were filled with despair, helplessness, and panic.

The demons on the island are harvesting human lives, and every scene of the death of the team members is like a Shura field, turning into a heavy mountain of pressure and pressing on everyone's heart.

It's not right to move forward, and it's not right to go backward.

At this time, everyone vaguely understood in their hearts that they should have fallen for Mr. Zhou.

I don't know how far away the ruins of the research institute are, that is, whether Mr. Zhou himself can survive to the research institute and call for help is a difficult question to determine.

If you can't call for help, it's unknown whether all of them will get out alive or how long they can live on such an island.

After Zhou Xueli said 'go', no one asked her how far she was from the research institute, and no one asked her how long it would take to get out of this nightmarish forest.

All she responded to was silence and the sound of rushing water.
