Chapter 142: In danger (2)
Translator: 549690339
The rescue call could only be made through the Instituteâs satellite communication, so they could only grit their teeth and move forward.
The surroundings became quiet again. Everyone walked forward for about ten meters. Every step they took felt like they were walking on the tip of a knife. They were very careful.
Fortunately, there was no sound coming from the front. At this time, no news was the best news, which proved that they had not encountered any danger.
âWolf one, do you see the river?â
After a while, Mr. Zhou couldnât help but ask again. Wolf oneâs answer was the same as before, ââNo, I didnât,â
After asking this question twice, Mr. Zhou couldnât help but feel a little anxious.
The further they walked, the more obvious the faint stench that song qingxiao had smelled earlier became.
They didnât know how long they had been walking, but they still couldnât find the river that Mr. Zhou had mentioned. The visibility of the surroundings was a little higher than before. They could vaguely see through the green fog around them and see the group ahead of them winding and silently moving forward until they disappeared into the thick fog. When they looked at it in a daze, it seemed like they couldnât see the end.
Although they didnât find any rivers, they didnât find any danger along the way. Everyoneâs worried hearts gradually returned to their original place.
However, for some reason, song qingxiao was a little restless.
Having been on the edge of life and death several times, she instinctively sensed danger. The foul smell around her drifted along the thick fog, making her rub her nose a few times, which attracted the attention of number seven.
âYouâŠâ
Perhaps it was because they didnât encounter any danger along the way, but everyone gradually relaxed their vigilance. Some people even started to joke in a low voice. Number seven had just opened his mouth to say a word, but before he could finish, number six said,â
âThere seems to be water up ahead.â
His words lifted everyoneâs spirits. The people leading the way were still alive, which proved that there was no danger.
The young man found another water source, which was likely to be the inner River of the island that Mr. Zhou had mentioned. Perhaps the sewage pipe that connected to the Research Institute was nearby.
When the people who had been carrying heavy luggage and walking bitterly heard this, it was as if they had been given a shot of adrenaline. They rushed forward, sweeping away their previous dejection and many peopleâs footsteps seemed to be hurried.
Song qingxiao, No. 7, and No. 1 looked at each other. The workers at the back couldnât hold back their joy and quickly grabbed their backpacks and followed. They paused for a while and also rushed over.
After No. 6 said that there was water, he must have been standing there waiting for Mr. Zhou. When song qingxiao and the others rushed over, they were almost out of the forest. Following the dim light, they could vaguely âseeâ a puddle of water about ten meters ahead, hidden in a pile of waterweed.
The water looked shallow. If it wasnât for number sixâs spiritual power, he wouldnât have noticed it.
However, these puddles were completely different from the âinland River on the islandâ that Mr. Zhou had mentioned. They couldnât be called rivers. They were just like the puddles that had been formed by the heavy rain in the early morning. No matter how afraid the crowd was of Mr. Zhou, who controlled everyoneâs life and death, when they saw this scene, some people couldnât help but ask,
âMr. Zhou, are you sure you didnât remember wrongly? thereâs a River here?â
The ground was uneven and covered with moss and grass. It was slippery. Song qingxiao tried her best to steady herself, afraid that she would slip and fall.
There were many people here, and they were all disappointed to see such a âRiverâ. She was worried that something unexpected would happen, so she kept her guard up.
âThere should be a River here.â
After being questioned, Mr. Zhou answered in a deep voice. The person who asked the question gradually became more emotional.
âThereâs no river here? Could it be that you havenât been here for many years and remembered wrongly?â
âThatâs right!â As soon as this person finished speaking, another worker added,
this is a matter of life and death for everyone. Try to think again. Did you take the wrong path?â
Amidst the noise, song qingxiaoâs sharp ears picked up a rustling sound, as if something was sighing in the water. A series of bubbles appeared on the water surface, but the group of workers thought that they had been deceived by Mr. Zhou and were making a lot of noise, so they did not notice this..
