The thunderstorm was still falling, and flashes of lightning lit up the somewhat eerie islands, and suddenly there was a deafening thunder, and I saw a bucket-thick tree on the top of the mountain being split in half, and the huge crown of the tree fell into the valley like a large fan.

I shivered when the cold rain hit my body, picked up the climbing rope and jumped into the water, and in an instant the warmth of the sea water soaked my heart, and then I swung my arms regularly and carefully swam towards the beach on the opposite bank.

Now I was in a semi-circle with the beach, and I couldn't see if there was a hidden bunker there, so I had a limited observation while treading the water and wiping the water on my face, but the sky was a little dark under the clouds, which affected my observation.

I took a deep breath and dived to the bottom of the water, then swam for more than half a minute and got out again to breathe, I knew it was a dangerous move that could easily attract the attention of people on shore, but I had no choice.

At that moment, a few reeds floated down the current, and I picked one up like a treasure, pinched off the knots at both ends, and put it in my mouth as a straw for ventilation.

Now that I don't have to come out to breathe, I have undoubtedly greatly accelerated my swimming speed, and after a while, I quietly poked my head out when I felt that I was approaching my destination. But the ensuing danger almost choked on me, but fortunately I reacted in time and dived down again to avoid being spotted by the foreign GIs who were fishing in the rain.

I had to use the same time to return, and when I came out, I was dragged out by Satsuki, and she asked me how I was doing, and I said no, we have to find another way.

"No, let's kill him."

Zhang Qian reached out and took out a muffler from her backpack and screwed it on the pistol, then took out her previous diving suit and put it on her body, and then Zhang Qian, who was like a loach, swooped into the water and disappeared.

"Hey, don't be in such a hurry!" I whispered in my voice, but Zhang Qian had disappeared without a trace.

Xiao Yue pushed me: "You should go quickly." ”

I was afraid that Zhang Qian would be invincible and had to go to help, as I chased all the way and finally saw Zhang Qian showing her head around the corner, and then she turned her head to look at me and asked softly, "Where is there anyone?" ”

"How could it be, it was still there just now."

As I spoke, I swam over, and sure enough, there was no one on the beach at this time, only the rainwater that flowed into the stream pulled thousands of lines on the soft sand and poured into the sea.

"No way, there was obviously a guy fishing just now."

I muttered a whisper wondering if I had just been dazzled, and then made sure that nothing unusual had been found on the island before crawling ashore.

The sand was very soft and there was a puddle of mud, and after a while I was covered with yellow mud and it was uncomfortable, but I still crawled slowly like a turtle, and from time to time I raised my head to see if there was anything unusual in front of me.

The more than 100-meter-wide beach finally climbed over, this time we went into the wild grass more than a meter deep, and with the bunker we took a short break and took the opportunity to observe the terrain.

Now in front of us was a lush bush from which we had to climb to the edge of a cliff to pull Satsuki up, and it was not clear what the path was in between, but fortunately we didn't find anyone guarding it.

At this time, Zhang Qian patted me, "You just said that there is a foreign soldier fishing on the shore?" ”

I hummed and asked her what was wrong, and then Zhang Qian made a silent gesture and pointed behind me: "No, he's fishing again." ”

When I looked back, I saw the GI reappeared, lying on a beach chair with a big parasol and sunglasses, looking very leisurely.

Zhang Qian leaned in towards me, obviously a little timid, and asked in a breathless voice, "What's the matter?" ”

I swept the GI with my eye and found that he was just a skeleton full of holes, and there were many bugs crawling on it, so I turned sideways and suppressed my voice and said, "This island is not clean!" ”

"Heh...."

Zhang Qian gasped, I hurriedly covered her mouth and said, "Don't speak, don't alarm him, come with me." ”

Zhang Qian nodded vigorously, and after I made sure she wouldn't scream, I let go of her, and then dragged her into the bushes in a hurry, away from the haunting ghost.

Zhang Qian walked very passively this way, and almost every step she took had to look back to see if the soldier had followed, and I suddenly regretted telling her this, because I felt that this thing could easily disrupt her future actions.

But I'm not telling the truth, because now she's my teammate and I need her help at a critical moment, so I have to prepare her for this early.

When I got to the edge of the cliff, I saw Satsuki looking anxiously at the place where we had just disappeared, and at this moment the green poncho on her body was a little bigger, and she looked thinner and thinner, and I suddenly wondered if I was right to bring her here.

Later, I lowered one end of the rope, and Satsuki heard a strange noise only to realize that we had reached the top of her head, and the worry on her face instantly disappeared into a smile of joy.

I dragged the item and Satsuki up, then fastened the other end of the rope to the trunk of the tree, slid down and took a shower before climbing up and putting on my clothes and saying, "Let's go, our first step was successful." ”

Later, we walked forward one foot deep and one foot shallow through the rotten fallen leaves, and soon we found a staircase leading to the mountain, the steps were one meter wide, winding, and covered with fallen leaves, as if no one had walked in a long time.

Then Anne jumped out of the umbrella and said, "This road cannot be taken, we must go back at once." ”

When I asked her why, she couldn't tell her anything, except that during her time on the island, she had heard that there was a forbidden place on the island and that she could not go there because there was a devil.

"The devil? What kind of devil? I asked.

Anne was a little frightened, "I don't know, they said that all the people who came here are dead." ”

I was also a little undecided, so I handed over the decision to Xiao Yue, who thought for a while and said, "Then let's go around, so as not to steal chickens and lose rice." ”

I was amused by Satsuki and said, Satsuki asked me what I was laughing at, and I said, "Then we won't steal chickens." ”

Then we bypassed the stone steps and walked on the stumps, and after a short time we saw that among the trees we found a concrete structure, which looked like a large bunker, and looked like it had been for some years.

I asked Anne if this was Taylor's base, and Anne shook her head and said, "No, Taylor lives in a row of high-rise buildings, and there are a lot of roads and cars. ”

I was a little curious about this behemoth, so I asked them to wait for me where they were, then drew their pistols, loaded them, and leaned over cautiously.
