The water was quite deep, and after a long time of accumulation, it had formed a rather large pool.
The surface of the water was shimmering, as if it was covered with a layer of tulle. It moved slowly with the fluctuations of the water, and it was beautiful beyond words.
The water in the pond was extremely clear and deep, but song Qing had underestimated it and found that something was wrong.
She found that other than sand and stones, there was no fish or shrimp.
This was a little strange. Although Mr. Zhou’s group had built a Research Institute on the island many years ago, it had been more than ten years since they left the island.
For many years, even if the creatures on the island had been affected by genetic mutation, it was strange that such a large pool did not have any fish or shrimp.
She remembered that when she was downstream, the water was also clear, but other than sand and stones, she didn’t see any mutated aquatic creatures in the river. She was puzzled and was about to get closer to the river to take a look when number four turned her head and noticed her looking at the pool.
Number four was suspicious. She wanted to turn her head and look into the water as well, but someone in the team suddenly shouted,”
“All!”
The exclamation immediately attracted everyone’s attention. Except for song qingxiao, even number four turned his head instinctively and cast his previous doubts to the back of his mind.
After the exclamation, there was a ‘plop’ sound, and someone seemed to have fallen to the ground.
The group that was originally moving forward was suddenly disrupted. Zhou xueli impatiently turned her head and saw a scholar who was carrying a box lying on the ground. He seemed to have noticed Zhou xueli and the others staring at him. He subconsciously raised his head, and his face was red with sweat. His glasses fell into the grass.
Several other scholars were trying to pull him up, but they were all gentle scholars. When the wolves attacked them, they were already scared out of their wits. This fifteen minutes of rushing had almost exhausted their remaining physical strength. They pulled him a few times, but they could not get him up. On the contrary, the others were exhausted, and with this pull, several people who were helping him fell to the ground.
Everyone was like an arrow at the end of its flight, and when Zhou xueli saw this scene, she felt somewhat helpless.
“Let’s take a break.”
The time they took to travel was too long. Ever since they arrived on the island, the group had been in a constant state of anxiety.
Fear and uneasiness turned into a heavy pressure. Large amounts of sweat took away everyone’s physical strength, making it difficult for those who had survived to bear.
It just so happened that the existence of this waterfall blocked the team’s path, so Zhou Xue Li had to take out a map to observe the situation first, so she suggested that they take a break.
As she spoke, she took out a piece of tissue and wiped Mr. Zhou’s face. Mr. Zhou’s hand, which was holding the silver suitcase, was still shaking. He leaned against a bodyguard and panted heavily.
“We’ve been out for more than 15 minutes, and the wolves were all killed. Even if there are creatures that smell the blood, they shouldn’t be able to catch up for a while.”
As soon as Zhou xuli’s words fell, many people heaved a long sigh of relief. Their tense nerves finally relaxed a little.
The scholars sitting on the ground also looked relieved. Taking the opportunity of falling to the ground, they crossed their legs and used this time to recover their strength.
However, song qingxiao did not relax. Instead, she tensed up.
Under the rumbling sound of water, the buzzing sound was covered by the loud sound of water. It sounded like the sound of insects flapping their wings, but when she listened carefully, it was as if she couldn’t hear it. It was as if everything was just her illusion.
However, her experience on the island made her feel that something was wrong in the grass. It was very likely that something terrible was hidden in the grass.
Most careless people would have died in the first few rounds of danger. She instinctively reached for her bag. The zipper was not fully closed, so it was convenient for her to take out the things in the bag.
Song Qing’s small hand reached into the bag and grabbed a folded piece of foam. She reached out and held it. Number seven saw her action and reached into the bag quietly. At the same time, the professor who had fallen on the ground had begun to search the grass.
When he fell earlier, his glasses had fallen off. At this time, sweat was dripping into his eyes. He raised his hand to wipe it a few times, but he was still in a daze and couldn’t see clearly.
“Stop stepping on my glasses.”
The wild grass was dense, and the glasses disappeared after rolling in.
The professor was a little worried as he touched his glasses, reminding everyone not to step on them.
The grass rustled as it was pulled apart. The squinted scholar seemed to have touched something and subconsciously reached out to hold it.
“This…”
When he raised his hand, a brown jar-like object the size of a soccer ball appeared in his hand..
