Chapter 198 - 198: I’m going (3)
The destructive power of the huge silver-white Wolf in the forest had already left a deep impression on the survivors last night. The reason why everyone had climbed up the mountain in the dark was to hide from the wolf. How would they dare to go back now?
Not to mention the dug-out River that Zhou xueli mentioned.
Ever since they came to the island, no one had a good impression of the river.
Other than the large number of deaths caused by the crocodile nest at the beginning, the scene of No. 4 being devoured and digested by some unknown creature in the river last night was still lingering in everyone’s mind like a nightmare.
even if we ignore all these factors, it will take at least three days to walk from there.
After Zhou xueli said this, she added,”
this doesn’t include dangerous situations.
In other words, once he encountered a mutant creature, the time would be increased even more.
Food and water were in short supply, not to mention wasting another three days.
If it was possible, everyone did not want to stay in this place for even a second longer.
After she finished speaking, professor Yan knew that this method was not feasible. The only way left was to go down the mountain from here.
However, it was not easy to get down the mountain. After a brief discussion, Wolf one made a suggestion,”
“We should still have safety ropes on us.”
Among the supplies prepared at that time, there was a safety rope in every backpack. When everyone left the foot of the mountain, although the tents were abandoned, the safety rope was left behind.
There were ten safety ropes in total, each three meters long. After they were put together, they were thirty meters long in total.
These ropes were prepared by Mr. Zhou’s men. The material was quite strong, and it was not a problem to carry two or three people.
Everyone went down one by one, first finding a place to rest halfway up the mountain, and the rest of the way down the mountain could be discussed later.
Although this suggestion was not particularly good, they could not think of any other way at the moment.
However, on the issue of who should go down first, everyone had different opinions.
The workers knew very well that in such a situation, the bodyguards were most likely divided into two groups. One group would go down first to check the situation below. After confirming that there was no mistake, Mr. Zhou’s group would definitely go down first.
The remaining bodyguards would be next, and they might be left behind.
However, with the hope of survival, even if they had to stay until the end, everyone would be satisfied.
The most problematic ones were the four trial-takers.
As the time for the mission approached, no one believed each other. Who would go down first was a big problem.
Mr. Zhou and the rest were still discussing how to proceed when the four trial-takers all chose a corner to stand in. Number seven smiled and said,” “Who’s going down first?”
After confirming the plan, Mr. Zhou still had an ‘evolution drug’ in his hand, hanging the participant.
Mr. Zhou would not throw out such a bait for no reason. He would definitely make the best use of the trial-takers.
There were only four bodyguards left, and they were all elites. If any of them were to be lost, it would be even more dangerous for Mr. Zhou’s future journey.
In such a situation, he would definitely ask for a participant with outstanding skills to accompany him to ensure the safety of his bodyguards.
If no one had any intention of leaving the team, it would be a big problem who would go down first.
Right now, no one trusted each other. The closer it was to the critical moment, the more everyone wanted to shoot arrows at each other in an attempt to weaken the opponent’s strength and increase their own chances of survival.
Whoever pulled the rope down first could not guarantee that the people above would not do something crazy.
Number one squinted his eyes and pretended not to hear number Seven’s words. It was clear that he would not be the first one to go down the mountain.
It was even more impossible for number three to agree. She had just been ambushed by song qingxiao and her back was injured. She could not guarantee that someone would not Cut the Rope when she was halfway up.
At this point, everyone did not care about the lives of Mr. Zhou and the ordinary people. They only wanted to complete the mission as soon as possible.
While the few of them were still discussing, Mr. Zhou had already started to greet them.
“Mr. Zhao, miss song…”
Wolf one and the others were putting together the safety ropes and preparing to go down the mountain. Mr. Zhou, supported by Zhou xueli, slowly walked in the direction of the four participants.
we’ve decided to go down with the fishing line, but we’re not sure what’s going on down there. Now, Wolf one, Wolf two, and Wolf six are going to go down and check it out first. After confirming that there’s no danger, they’ll send us a message. He first explained, and then revealed the purpose of his visit with a smile,”
“However, I’m afraid that the three of them don’t have enough people. Can 1 ask you to send one of your own to help us go down? if we encounter any danger, we can help each other.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he glanced at number one, number three, number seven, and song qingxiao, waiting for them to give him an answer.
“Mr. Zhao?”
He didn’t get a reply from number one, so he called number three and number seven in turn. Finally, his eyes fell on song qingxiao.
“Miss song?”
“I’ll go,”
To everyone’s surprise, song qingxiao actually nodded and agreed to Mr. Zhou’s request.
Number 1 and number 3 instinctively looked at each other, their eyes revealing an indescribable gloominess..
