At this time, they were like many workers who were fighting for supplies and moving forward with heavy weights. It would only increase the burden on everyone and drag down their physical strength.
He didn’t know what kind of danger he would encounter on the island, but in order to increase his chances of survival and preserve his strength, traveling light was the best choice.
No. 7 was well aware that the trip to the island was not safe. People might still die in the end. Once someone died, their remaining supplies were equivalent to carrying for the living. To the group, these dead people were like mobile warehouses. If they were short of anything, they could just pick it up later.
After thinking this through, number seven smiled and did not say anything.
The things piled up on the island were quickly snatched up by the crowd. Many people were carrying several bags, and their backs were bent. It was obvious that these supplies had become a burden, but many people were still unwilling to let go.
After a while, the rain had gradually become lighter, and the dark clouds had dispersed a little. The surroundings were green, but people could be seen clearly.
Other than the participants and Mr. Zhou’s group, the other hired boatmen were just lucky to survive. Whether it was in terms of martial strength, psychological quality, or other aspects, they could not be compared with the others. The scene was a mess, and Mr. Zhou was a little angry.
When there were too many people, no matter how cautious one was, it was inevitable that there would be some noise. Their previous action of snatching the supplies had made a lot of noise, especially when they had told them that the area was not safe. They still made such a big noise, which made AAr. Zhou’s calm expression a little tense.
He took a deep breath again, as if to calm his anger. Perhaps he didn’t want to get into a conflict here and attract trouble, so after enduring it again and again, his expression slowly calmed down.
Song qingxiao walked toward Mr. Zhou. Number six and number four each came back with a big bag of things. Seeing the other six participants who didn’t participate in the fight, they looked at each other and frowned.
“Since you’re done, let’s get ready to leave.”
Mr. Zhou turned his head and saw that song Qing had become smaller.
Compared to the other participants, he had the deepest impression of song qingxiao. The two of them even had an unreliable verbal ‘Alliance’. Perhaps he remembered this, he forced a smile and asked song qingxiao in a gentler tone, “Miss song, don’t you want to bring more things?”
Compared to the other people who were carrying large and small bags, she seemed too relaxed. She was only carrying a backpack with simple supplies and a gun.
“No, it should be enough.”
Song qingxiao shook her head, and her eyes fell on the silver suitcase in his hand.
When they were on the boat, she had only noticed that Mr. Zhou had been carrying the box. Now that she was close to Mr. Zhou, with the help of the faint light, she noticed that Mr. Zhou was not only carrying the box, but also wearing something like a steel ring on his wrist that was connected to the box. It was clear that he had locked himself with the box.
No wonder he didn’t throw the chest away when he fell into the sea, and it was still firmly in his hands.
There were dark marks around the steel ring, which should have been caused by Mr. Zhou’s injury when he fell into the water from the boat during the escape.
Once again, she was curious about what was in the box that Mr. Zhou valued so much that he would rather get injured than let go.
Mr. Zhou was obviously very cautious. Even though she had restrained herself and looked away from the box, Mr. Zhou was aware of it immediately. He instinctively moved his hand back and hid the box between him and Zhou xueli.
“Helie.”
Mr. Zhou chuckled and was about to speak when a rustling sound was heard.
“Who’s there?”
These two sounds were very light and thin, mixed in with the ‘pattering’ sound of the rain. If one didn’t listen carefully, one wouldn’t notice it at all.
The other workers didn’t even notice the difference between the sound and the surrounding sounds, until number four, the man in the suit, shouted with extreme vigilance, which caused the crowd to panic.
Everyone subconsciously squeezed into a ball, and everyone’s nerves were tense at this moment.
Song qingxiao had also heard the two subtle sounds from before. She instinctively turned to look in the direction of the sound.
Naturally, no one would reply to number four after he finished berating him.
A few seconds after he finished shouting, everyone held their breath and focused, not daring to make any unnecessary movements.
The surroundings were so quiet that one could even hear a pin drop. The raindrops were dripping on the sea surface, and the waves were surging toward the shore. The sea breeze mixed with the light rain blew into the forest on the island, rustling the leaves and plants.
“Who’s there?”
At this time, no one dared to breathe. The sudden opening of the young man number six frightened everyone. Many workers who were carrying a large amount of supplies felt their legs go soft and couldn’t even stand up. They sat on the ground with a thud.
Indeed, other than the sound of waves, the sound of rain, and the wind, there was no other sound. No. 4 must have heard wrong.
What’s more, as Mr. Zhou said, the island had been a research base abandoned by the Zhou biotechnology company more than a decade ago. How could there be a living person on the island?
Number four made a mistake and revealed his nervousness.
It was unknown whether the others were venting their emotions or their anger was derived from the relaxation of their tense minds, but they all cursed,”
“Don’t you know that people can scare people to death? Who is on this Island?” “You’re just pretending!”
The crowd cursed and swore, trying to calm their inner fear. AAr. Zhou was annoyed by the noise and shouted,
“Do you want to die? What are you arguing about?”
As soon as he spoke, everyone remembered that he had saved them. No matter how dissatisfied they were, they didn’t dare to anger Mr. Zhou. Of course, they didn’t dare to speak.
“The Research Institute is located on the west side of the island. We are currently on the east side of the south side.”
Mr. Zhou’s words made everyone’s anger from No. 4’s words seem to have been doused with a basin of cold water, and their hearts instantly turned cold.
In other words, everyone was currently at two extreme ends of the distance from the Research Institute set up by Zhou technology company on the island. If they wanted to reach the Research Institute, they would have to cross the island.
Everyone’s hearts were heavy, but this piece of news was good news for the trial-takers.
They had to kill the remaining five creatures on the island. The distance was long, and to call the satellite phone, they had to go to the Research Institute, which proved that they had more time to complete the mission.
The hired workers were somewhat dissatisfied, but under such circumstances, no matter how dissatisfied they were, no one dared to talk back on the spot.
After a moment of silence, one of the workers asked,”
“Which way should we go now?”
