When Mr. Zhou said this, the air seemed to have frozen. Everyone’s hearts were in their throats.
He didn’t name anyone to check, but if there really was a crocodile, it was very likely that whoever got close would never return.
Song qingxiao pursed her lips. The ridiculous secret agreement between her and Mr. Zhou had been broken the moment Mr. Zhou gave the order to shoot at the crocodile nest. Mr. Zhou knew that he had offended her and would definitely try to kill her during the rest of the trip.
the first person to see the crocodile,” Mr. Zhou said with a little breathlessness and phlegm in his voice. He seemed to have used a lot of energy to speak, miss song, number six…
As expected, song qingxiao’s name was indeed on the list Mr. Zhou had picked.
However, there were a few other trial-takers who were also chosen.
After finding the drainage pipeline connected to the Research Institute by the dry river, Mr. Zhou couldn’t help but want to get rid of them.
After all, they were of unknown origin and had extraordinary skills, which was already intolerable to Mr. Zhou.
don’t worry, he leaned against Zhou xueli, panting as he spoke, and his face was abnormally blue. Wolf one, they will send people to follow you and ensure your safety.
He looked at the armed bodyguards, but his words reminded them of the time in the crocodile’s nest when he ordered them to shoot when they found the giant mutated crocodile pretending to be dead.
The group had already retreated more than ten meters away from where the crocodile had been found, but the group was still retreating. The place where the man had pointed at was quiet. Other than the rustling of the wind blowing through the dense aquatic grass and green plants, there was only the unbearable stench. There was no other movement.
Number six’s expression was a little dark, and the other trial-takers did not say anything.
Everyone was well aware of Mr. Zhou’s intention to kill. However, this was not the time to shed all pretense of cordiality. The participants had only completed two six-Star Magic arrays.
Song Qingxin had the same thought as No. 3. She didn’t think that there was a crocodile hiding here. After all, if there was really a fierce mutant creature, the mutant creature would have appeared and ambushed them when they got close.
“I don’t want to go …” After Mr. Zhou made the arrangements, the first person to scream had an ashen face and muttered,
“Mr. Zhou, please spare my life …”
The more he shouted like this, the angrier Mr. Zhou became. Especially the collective silence of the trial-takers, it made Mr. Zhou even more murderous towards this man who was so scared that his soul almost left his body.
“Someone has to take the lead.” Mr. Zhou smiled and moved his fingers after saying this. The man still wanted to plead, but the bodyguards had already pointed their guns at him and forced him to go over.
“Don’t…” The man trembled in fear and his feet were nailed into the mud. The bodyguard’s pushing caused his feet to slide on the ground, leaving a large trace.
The aquatic grass was stepped on, revealing the soft mud beneath.
Compared to the unwilling man, the trial-takers who were called out were much calmer. Number one and number three exchanged a look, and the two of them stood side by side, slowly moving towards the direction that the man had pointed out.
After seeing them move, the man in the suit, number six, and the scholar were stunned for a moment before they moved closer to the place where the crocodile was suspected to be.
Song qingxiao’s eyes flickered as she followed behind them. Seeing her action, number seven pursed his lips into a smile and greeted,”
“Hey, number five, wait for me.”
She acted as if they were close, as if she didn’t care about the conflict between her and song qingxiao.
With the courage of someone, the man who had been forced to move by the gun felt much better.
The bodyguard would not allow him to not go. Mr. Zhou’s cold eyes made him a little frightened. It was as if he would die at the muzzle of the gun the next second if he dared to disobey Mr. Zhou’s words.
In this team, Mr. Zhou had absolute authority. Even if they survived the attack of the mutant creatures, they still had to listen to Mr. Zhou in order to get their position when the rescue arrived.
Of course, that wasn’t the only reason why the man stopped wailing. He saw that song qingxiao was also in the group that was called out, and she was also with the rest.
There was no doubt about song qingxiao’s strength. Most importantly, her act of saving professor Yan and the others in the crocodile’s nest had made the man feel relieved.
Even if there was a mutated crocodile hiding in the grass, there would always be a chance to escape when there were many people.
At the thought of this, the man calmed down. Number one and number three stopped in front of him and shouted,”
“Anyone who sees a crocodile, point at it.”
The man was pushed out with a sad face. Song qingxiao took the opportunity to take off a backpack that she had snatched from young man number six and threw it at the crowd.
Her action stunned everyone. The people behind her instinctively reached out to catch her backpack. Number seven saw her action and hesitated for a moment, but he also took his backpack and threw it out.
Number six, the young man walking in front, heard the sound and turned back to see the scene. He couldn’t help but sneer.
The few of them slowly walked forward. With every step they took, the stench became more obvious.
The team sent by Mr. Zhou got closer and closer, but they didn’t suffer any attacks. This made Mr. Zhou and the others, who had been retreating, feel relieved.
The man who was leading the way was emboldened by the presence of other people around him. Seeing that there was no movement in the grass, he grew bolder and pointed. The place where the crocodile was found was nearly two meters away from the Institute’s discharge pipe.
“There.”
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger. Under the green grass, they could vaguely see black scales. There was indeed something hidden.
However, the grass and vines covered most of it, and it was not very clear.
The stench was getting more and more obvious, almost suffocating. The source of the stench seemed to be coming from the thing hidden in the grass.
“Did you find anything?”
Zhou xueli’s voice rang out from behind him. Refined scholar number two turned around and shouted,”
“There is indeed something.”
After he said this, the crowd burst into an uproar. Zhou xueli supported Mr. Zhou and wanted to retreat again. Number four followed suit and said,”
“But it doesn’t look like a crocodile.” At this point, everyone already knew what was hiding in the grass. The man in the suit even joked,
“At least not alive!”
When the team in the distance heard his words, they all heaved a sigh of relief. Even the bodyguard holding the gun could not help but smile.
The man, who had been scared out of his wits earlier, also looked more relaxed. They were getting closer and closer to the exhaust pipe of the Research Institute. Seven meters, five meters, three meters …
Even when they were a meter away from the group, the thing hiding there still did not jump out to attack them.
At this moment, everyone was almost certain that the crocodiles hiding here were not hunting crocodiles.
Just as everyone was sighing in relief, song qingxiao suddenly noticed that number six had ‘moved’..
