Chapter 141: Alliance
Everyone walked for about ten minutes in one breath, getting farther and farther away from the stream where the accident happened, but the roar of the wolf and the 'click' of chewing bones still seemed to ring in everyone's hearts, which made people shudder.
Under the urging of fear and desire to survive, everyone did not dare to stay at all.
However, because the previous bodyguards used ordinary people as backs for the dead ghosts, many people were also afraid, so in the group, ordinary workers formed a separate small group, supporting each other and walking on the left and right, while Mr. Zhou formed a team with Professor Yan and others and several bodyguards such as Wolf Yi.
And after several trialists experienced the previous incident, they were very guarded against each other, and they were afraid of being attacked again in case of trouble, so they didn't dare to get closer, No. 1 and No. 3 walked in front, No. 4 was alone among the bodyguards, and Song Qingxiao and No. 7 walked behind.
The further you go, the wider the water becomes, and the sound of the water is not as gentle as before, making a loud 'boom' sound, which sounds like a small waterfall.
Under the tension and stimulation, everyone's sweat flowed out in large strands, but under the fear, everyone didn't even dare to pant too much, for fear of attracting the pursuit of hunters.
Song Qingxiao had been paying attention to the hints in his mind, and after about half an hour, the hints in his mind finally changed.
The hexagonal magic circle was still half lit up, and the progress of the mutated creatures killed remained the same.
But the progress of the sacrifice has changed from the original 1/6 to the degree of completion: 2/6.
Number Two is dead, but nearly a quarter of an hour has passed since he was dragged into the bushes by wolves.
The wolf apparently had a unique way of feeding, and did not end his life in the first place.
In the process of the wolf eating, the trialist's powerful physique and vitality did not bring the slightest benefit to No. 2 at this time, but added endless pain to him.
The trialists should have received a message that when the number of the sacrifice progress had just changed, Seven, who had been buried in the change of path, suddenly turned his head:
"Two is dead."
When she said this, she smiled at the corner of her mouth, with a hint of schadenfreude.
Song Qing ignored her, and No. 7 didn't care, she looked up at the front, the figures of No. 1, No. 3 and No. 4 were blocked by Mr. Zhou and others in the middle, and they couldn't see it very clearly.
Everyone's footsteps were unusually heavy, and the sound of 'clicking' was mixed with rapid heartbeats and forced breathing, as if someone would fall to the ground and go into shock in the next moment.
"Did you see," Seven lowered his voice, "Number One and Number Three may have formed an alliance." ”
What she said, Song Qing had already seen the clues.
This time there are seven trialists on the mission, and No. 1 and No. 3 should be allied, and the two are inseparable, and at several critical moments, they all rely on acting together.
And there should also be an alliance between No. 2 and No. 4, so when the evil wolf attacked before, No. 2 was targeted by the wolf, and No. 4 shadowed Song Qing behind his back, trying to save No. 2 from danger.
"Six is an idiot." Seven shrugged his shoulders, "He thought that Number Two and Number Four were sincerely allied with him, but he didn't understand that on this island, it was safest for two people to work together." ”
Only one can survive as a result of the mission, because the island environment is dangerous, and the two trialists form an alliance to join forces to kill the others first, and when the last two are left, the odds of victory are the best.
One more person, and any of the three has a choice, and with such an alliance, no one will give even the slightest trust to their teammates.
Man Six was already dead, and when No. 7 mentioned him, he obviously remembered how he had attacked him on the ship, with a little disdain, and then changed the conversation:
"The island is full of dangers, and the mutant creatures still need to kill three more, No. 5, they all have alliances, why don't we join forces and eliminate them all?"
Seven is a smart person, and she knows that after her peers, she is weak enough to fight alone.
Just like the previous wolf raid, No. 4 will plot against Song Qingxiao in order to save No. 2.
Each team has the intention of eliminating others first, and then fighting each other at the end, she and Song Qingxiao are both alone, and they are the best targets, but when the wolves appeared, she slipped away after turning into a shape, and the fourth hit Song Qingxiao with the idea.
It's not just No. 4 and No. 2 who think this way, but No. 1 and No. 3 probably have similar ideas.
Her bloodline has been mutated, and she has a certain advantage over others, but the ability of the third is unpredictable, and it is impossible to sneak up on people.
In addition, No. 3 got No. 2's brush, which made it even more powerful.
"We formed teams, and we all vowed to help each other before weeding out the others." No. 7 saw that Song Qing was silent, and he didn't feel discouraged, and still tried his best to lobby: "In this way, we are a group, No. 1 and No. 3 are a team, No. 2 is dead, No. 4 is alone, he has attacked you, we can eliminate him first." ”
Of the five trialists who survived, No. 1 and No. 3 formed an alliance, because No. 7 had been walking side by side with Song Qingxiao intentionally or unintentionally, once the two reached a cooperation agreement, No. 4 became the only one who was alone, so that the other four people would probably choose to attack him at the first time.
He himself should be aware of this, so he was very vigilant among Mr. Zhou and the others, neither daring to go in front, close to No. 1 and No. 3, nor daring to walk behind, close to Song Qingxiao and No. 7.
Song Qingxiao raised his head and glanced at No. 7:
"Why don't you make an alliance with Four?"
Number Seven said confidently:
"He's attacked people, I can't believe him."
As soon as No. 7 said this, Song Qingxiao suddenly laughed.
No. 6's bones are not cold, I'm afraid that there is knowledge underground, and when I hear No. 7's words, I will die without seeing it.
A woman who attacked others herself and caused the tragic death of No. 6, but at this time she doesn't believe that others have attacked others, this is really a joke.
No. 7 saw the smile on Song Qingxiao's face, and guessed the thoughts under her smile, not only was he not annoyed, but he also laughed:
"It's no coincidence that you've survived a few times."
Even if it is counted once, she can escape several times, and the sudden sneak attack of No. 4 failed to kill her, which proves that Song Qingxiao should not be underestimated.
"No. 1 and No. 3 are not good stubble, in my opinion, the abilities of the two can probably complement each other, and it is not easy to deal with, No. 4 is not only a waste, but also very vicious." Sneak attacks can't be successful, let alone frontal killings, and it's not a good partner for her:
"If I want to live longer, I will save it until the end, and I will be the most reliable to form an alliance with you."
She smiled, "We cooperated, teamed up to eliminate the others, and the rest of the matter will be talked about later." How is it? ”
What Seven said made sense, as she said, the abilities of number one and number three happened to complement each other, and the ability of number one should be one of the tricks of the nine-character secret order, and it was difficult to deal with.
The ability of the third is stealth, hiding in the shadows, one in the light and the other in the dark, and the cooperation between the two is indeed easy to cause trouble.
At this time, cooperating with No. 7 would not be harmful to Song Qingxiao.
No. 7 is not a good stubble, but she herself knows that once they cooperate, the two sides can only kill other people if they join forces, and as for the death of others, the wins and losses between the two will be much better!
Song Qingxiao thought of this and said:
"I'm going to send No. 4 on the road first."
Number Four had attacked her, and the two had a feud, and this person could not stay any longer.
With such an attitude, she is equivalent to having made her position clear and agreed to Seven's request.
Seven smiled and nodded:
"Understood."
The two ended their brief conversation, and the team had reached the upper reaches of the stream.
After walking up for more than a quarter of an hour, the stream became wider and wider, and the sound of a huge 'boom' of water clearly reached everyone's ears, and after about two or three minutes, everyone saw a huge pool.
The water was clear, and the rocks were rocky in the distance, and a large amount of water sloped down, forming a small waterfall, and after a long time, a pool of water accumulated here.
I don't know if it's because of the light, everyone looks like the water surface seems to be floating with a translucent film, as if it has vitality, the water ripples, slowly moving, under the afterglow of the sunset, refracting a beautiful colorful luster.
There were a few unknown dwarf trees growing nearby, hidden in half-human-tall weeds, and occasionally the 'buzzing' sound of an insect flapping its wings was muffled by the sound of the water.
The way to the road was blocked for a while, and everyone was a little overwhelmed.
Song Qingxiao walked on the side close to the river, and she could feel that No. 4, who was walking beside Mr. Zhou, was extremely wary of her, and kept turning her head to watch her every move.
The scene where No. 7 whispered to her before was probably seen by No. 4.
She restrained the killing intent in her heart and set her eyes on the waterhole.
This water is quite deep, and after a long period of accumulation, it has formed a large-scale pool.
The surface of the water is sparkling, and the head seems to be covered with a thin veil, slowly moving with the fluctuations of the water, which is beautiful.
The people in the pond are extremely clear and can see the bottom deeply, but Song Qing took a look at it twice, but found that something was wrong.
She found that there was not even a trace of fish and shrimp under the water, except for mud, sand and stones.
This is somewhat unusual, although Mr. Zhou's group built a research institute on the island many years ago, it has been more than ten years since it withdrew from the island.
For many years, even if the creatures on the island have been affected by genetic mutations, there is no human factor, and it is really strange that such a large waterhole has not raised even a little fish and shrimp.
She thought that when she was downstream before, the water was also clear, but except for the sand and gravel, there didn't seem to be any mutated aquatic creatures in the river, and she was about to get closer to the river to take a look, just as the fourth also turned her head at this time, just in time to notice her turning her head to look at the waterhole.
Number Four was suspicious, and originally wanted her to turn her head and go to the water, but someone in the team suddenly shouted:
"Ahh
This exclamation immediately attracted everyone's attention, except for Song Qingxiao who raised his head, even No. 4 instinctively turned his head to look and put the previous doubts behind him.
The exclamation was followed by a 'poof' sound, and someone seemed to fall to the ground.
The original team was disrupted, Zhou Xueli turned her head impatiently, and it was a scholar carrying a box who fell, he was crawling on the ground, as if he noticed the staring of Zhou Xueli and others, he subconsciously raised his head, his face was sweaty, swollen red, and his glasses fell into the grass under this fall.
Several other fellow scholars were trying to pull him up, but everyone was a polite scholar, and when the wolves raided before, they had scared everyone into fear, and this quarter of an hour of rushing almost exhausted everyone's remaining physical strength, and they pulled several times, but they couldn't get him to stand up, but the others were not able to continue, and under this pull, even a few people who helped him also knelt on the ground.
Everyone is at the end of the crossbow, and Zhou Xueli was a little helpless when she saw this scene.
"Take a break."
The crowd had been on the road for too long, and since they had been on the island, a group of people had been in an atmosphere of fear.
Fear and anxiety turned into stress, and a large amount of sweat was discharged, taking away everyone's physical strength, making it unbearable for all those who survived.
It just so happened that the existence of this waterfall blocked the way of the team, and Zhou Xueli had to take out the map and prepare to wait and see, so she proposed to rest for a while.
She took out a tissue as she spoke, wiped his face for Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou's hand carrying the silver box was still shaking, leaning on a bodyguard, 'snorting'.
"We've been out for more than a quarter of an hour, and the wolves just now have been killed again, and even if a creature smells blood, it shouldn't be able to catch up for a while."
As soon as Zhou Xueli's voice fell, many people breathed a long sigh of relief, and the strings that had been tight were a little looser.
Several scholars sitting on the ground also showed a relaxed look, and took the opportunity of falling to the ground to simply cross their legs and use this kung fu to recover their strength.
But Song Qingxiao did not relax, but was nervous.
Under the sound of the 'boom' water, the 'buzzing' sound was covered by the huge sound of running water, like the sound of some insect flapping its wings, and when she listened carefully, she seemed to be unable to hear it, as if everything was just her illusion.
But her experience on the island had made her feel that something was wrong in the grass, and that there was a high probability that something terrible was hidden in the grass.
The careless person was almost dead in the first few rounds of danger, and she instinctively reached for her bag, the zipper was not fully pulled so that she could reach the contents of the bag.
Song Qing's small hand reached into the gap in the bag, and grabbed a folded piece of foam aluminum film, she reached out to hold it, and No. 7 on the side saw her movements, and reached out to touch the bag silently, at the same time, the professor who fell to the ground had already begun to lie on the grass and grope.
After he fell earlier, his glasses fell off, and at this time sweat flowed into his eyes, he raised his hand and wiped it several times, but he still couldn't see clearly in a daze.
"Don't step on my glasses."
The weeds were so thick that the glasses rolled in and disappeared.
The professor was still a little worried as he touched it, reminding everyone not to step on his glasses.
The grass was pulled apart, and in the sound of 'Sisissoso', the squinting scholar seemed to have touched something, and subconsciously reached over and held it.
"This ......"
As he raised his hand, he held a brown object the size of a football ball in the shape of a jar.
