Chapter 230: The Dark Depths of the Forest
The fourth possible location - no trace of ambergris has been found.
At this time, everyone, except for Zhou Hao and Xiao Xiao, were all gloomy.
Anyone who runs four times in vain will not be in a good mood.
"Everybody...... Let's do it, everyone! Isn't there another place? You'll always find it! Xiao Xiao saw that the atmosphere at the scene was a little bad, and held back for a long time, wanting to say something to comfort everyone, and adjust the atmosphere by the way, "Hard work will always pay off!" ”
But apparently, his opening up now is not a wise choice.
"You've got what you want, so naturally it doesn't matter!" In the case of impetuousness, a team member suddenly said sarcastically, his eyes full of naked jealousy, "And we! I ran four times in vain, but I still returned empty-handed! ”
"This ......" Xiao Xiao was choked, his honest personality was not suitable for arguing with others or anything.
"That's right!" The other person also agreed, glaring angrily at Xiao Xiao, "I really can't figure it out, people like you can find ambergris, why can't we find it!" Aren't you very kind? Why don't you give us this ambergris! ”
"This ...... I'm afraid not...... "Although Xiao Xiao is honest, he is not without desires, for example, the twists and turns between Leng Rou and Leng Rou as mentioned before require him to have a sufficient economic foundation, and it is impossible to just take out the ambergris he got and distribute it to them.
"Hah! And so it was! The man sneered, his eyes showing disdain, "What you did before was nothing but hypocrisy!" You can't even give us points, how selfish you are! Maybe when you were in that town before, you already knew that there was ambergris in it, and deliberately let us go earlier, and you went to swallow it privately with that kid named Zhou Hao! ”
"It's not...... Don't slander me! Rao is Xiao Xiao's stable temperament, and he was slightly angry by their words, and gritted his teeth.
Unconsciously, this break has evolved into Xiao Xiao's denunciation meeting, almost everyone is glaring at Xiao Xiao angrily, venting their previous jealousy, and there may be some people looking forward to saying that Xiao Xiao can share some benefits with them.
With Xiao Xiao's honest temperament in the past, under the circumstances pointed out by Qianfu, there is indeed some possibility.
Although Zhang Hu did not participate in this condemnation meeting, he did not stop it. Originally, with him as the captain and the strongest person in the team, this conference should have been suppressed with an order, but he turned a blind eye and acquiesced.
Seeing that the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable to Xiao Xiao, Zhou Hao, who had been lazy to pay attention to this group of guys on the side, finally couldn't stand it anymore.
"Hey! Shut up! You snobbs ......" The cold voice sounded in everyone's ears, making the originally noisy atmosphere suddenly become a dead silence.
"Who are you going to say about us!" The team member who shouted the most fiercely before stood up suddenly and glared at Zhou Hao angrily.
Zhou Hao remembered that his name was Huang Tian, and his strength was only lower than the second order, and his strength was not outstanding in the team, but he was a little cunning and treacherous. When I saw him in the patrol team before, I saw that he often took the lead in killing zombies, and I thought his nature was not bad, but I didn't expect him to be a bully and a person who was afraid of the hard.
"You are a first-order evolutionary, there is no place for you to intervene here! Stay aside obediently, or you'll look good! Huang Tian probably thought that Zhou Hao, who was only a first-order person, would not have ambergris hidden on his body, and the luck of the two would not be good enough to find more than one, so he didn't trouble Zhou Hao too much, and continued to prepare to "persuade" Xiao Xiao.
"Then what do you think you have to bark like a wild dog in front of me?" Zhou Hao's face remained unchanged, and he sneered and said.
"Yo, Lao Tzu was polite to you before, you really thought you didn't dare to do it, right?" Huang Tian laughed angrily, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, he rolled his sleeves and snorted angrily, "Lao Tzu will abolish you today!" ”
Zhou Hao's fists tightened slightly, and a trace of demonic energy secretly condensed.
Relying on this trace of demonic energy, the injuries are more serious, and it is more than enough to deal with this guy.
"Stop!"
Just when the battle was about to break out, Zhang Hu, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, his eyes swept over Huang Tian, swept over Zhou Hao, and finally landed on Xiao Xiao, and said in a deep voice, "Now our main goal is to find ambergris!" I don't want to see any casualties. ”
"Humph! Count it your good luck...... "Since Zhang Hu has spoken, it is impossible for Huang Tian to brush his face, snorted angrily, and sat back in place.
"That's what I want to say......" Zhou Hao sneered.
Once he makes a move, he may directly take this guy's life.
The matter has come to an end for the time being, and the contradiction has been suppressed temporarily, but anyone can see that this time back, there will inevitably be an irreparable rift in the relationship between Xiao Xiao and everyone, which is called "interests".
Next, the group continued to the final fifth.
The fifth place is a large forest with unusually dense foliage, and it is by far the most likely place where ambergris grass is thought to be present.
However, since there was a situation where ambergris grass was found in that dilapidated town before, but there was no ambergris in other places, then everyone was not completely sure whether there was ambergris here.
Walking in this big forest, Zhou Hao has a feeling of returning to the forest near Los Angeles, but it seems that this forest is bigger, the branches and leaves of the giant trees above his head are so dense that they cover the sky and the sun, and when he looks up, he can only see the sporadic sunlight pouring down from the gaps in the leaves, and the surrounding space is a little damp and gloomy because of the lack of sunlight.
This kind of place always gives people a bad feeling, like a terrible poison watching you secretly. But now that everyone is here, it is impossible to give up halfway.
"Here ......"
After going a few hundred meters deep into the forest, Zhou Hao's nose smelled the familiar and alluring smell again, like a kitten's paw scratching, which made people itch unbearably.
There should be ambergris here...... Zhou Hao guessed.
At least they won't be allowed to run for nothing again.
But then, a strange illusion suddenly rose in Zhou Hao's heart.
He had a faint sense that in the depths of the forest, something seemed to lurk that was so familiar to him, but which gave him a deep fear. With each step it takes, it's as if you've pushed yourself into its mouth a little more!
This feeling is indescribable, but it is real, and as he goes deeper and deeper, the natural fear that seems to come from the depths of his soul deepens even more, making his steps slower and slower, and his complexion more and more solemn.
"What the hell is it......" Zhou Hao raised his eyes and looked into the depths of the forest, but he could only see a secluded darkness, as if it was about to devour everything.
"What makes me feel so familiar, yet so terrifying......"
