Chapter 186: Trouble (1)

Translator: 549690339

The seawater that had hit the cliff had already fallen back down, but the lingering fear still remained in everyone's heart.

miss Zhou, are you sure we'll reach the Research Institute after crossing the mountain?”

After a tiring day, after confirming that they could rest for a while, many people lay on the ground, finding it hard to even lift their eyelids.

There were a few flashlights on the ground that were not switched off. At this time, everyone needed a little light to support themselves.

“We'll be close to the Research Institute after we cross the mountain.”

Zhou xuli was also worried that the People's hearts would scatter. She and Mr. Zhou still needed the help of these people, so at this moment, she didn't maintain her previous cold and frosty appearance. After taking two deep breaths, she replied to this question.

“Now that we're close to the Research Institute, does that mean we can go home soon?”

“Yes, I am.” Mr. Zhou's hoarse voice had a hint of coaxing, after crossing this mountain and reaching the Research Institute, we'll be able to go home soon.

He didn't speak much the whole day, and his voice seemed to be squeezed out from his dry throat. It felt like it was rubbed on matte, and it was very harsh.

As soon as Zhou xueli heard him speak, she instinctively reached for her bag, but she touched nothing.

Her bag had fallen by the stream when the wolves had attacked, so she hadn't picked it up. When they were hurrying on their way, she naturally didn't notice anything wrong with the lack of a burden. At this time, Zhou Xue Li touched her body and suddenly frowned.

“Who doesn't have water?”

She cleared her throat and asked.

In the beginning, she didn't pay much attention to it, but after she asked and no one answered, Zhou xueli realized that something was wrong.

“Does anyone have any extra water?”

She raised her voice and asked again.

Because she had used too much force when she spoke, her dry lips were torn open, and the blood that gushed out moistened the skin of her mouth, bringing with it a piercing pain and the smell of blood.

“I lost my bag…”

Someone said listlessly. This sentence was like a signal, and more people said,

“I, I lost my bag too …”

Zhou xueli's heart began to sink. She turned her head and looked around. Most of the people were either sitting or lying down. Even a few bodyguards were sitting together with their legs bent. The flashlights thrown on the ground were scattered and illuminated the platform a little.

“Did you guys lose your bags?”

The word 'all' made everyone panic.

At first, when the ship was dragged into the sea by the monsters in the deep sea, there were a lot of materials left on the ship. When they got to the island, many people robbed a lot of them, and they felt that they were heavy, cumbersome, and in the way.

After losing a bag, many people felt relieved and didn't think it was a big deal.

Everyone was afraid of losing their lives in the face of mutant creatures. They were also worried that they would not have enough bullets and would not be able to fight back when danger came.

No one had ever been afraid of the problem of insufficient supplies.

After all, it didn't matter if one person lost his bag, but the others must have more.

Everyone, including Mr. Zhou and Zhou xueli, thought so.

Therefore, no matter when they were in danger or when they were resting, everyone's first reaction was to lose their backpacks. No one expected that when Zhou xueli asked about the water source, they would find that many people had lost their backpacks.

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Zhou xueli couldn't help but ask,”

“Whose bags did you lose?” She pursed her lips. This action made the wound on her lips split deeper, and the blood oozed out more quickly. However, she seemed to not notice it and stuck out her tongue to lick her lips.

“The person who lost his bag, raise your hand.”

Amidst the rustling of clothes, people raised their hands one after another.

Anxious, Zhou xueli picked up a flashlight and shone it at them one by one.

The people who were illuminated by her light subconsciously narrowed their eyes and reached out to cover their faces. Zhou xueli counted,”

“ls 2S 3.. 6S 7..”

Her heart grew colder with every number she counted.

At present, there were a total of 22 people alive in the team: four trial-takers, five bodyguards, five scientists, Mr. Zhou, Zhou xuli, and the worker.

Among the 22 people, the five professors only carried suitcases and backpacks containing research equipment when they first arrived on the island. They didn't carry any supplies to increase their burden.

With that, there were only 17 people left with the supplies. Among them, other than song qingxiao and the other three, as well as the five bodyguards, only one of the workers still had a bag. Everyone else's bags were missing!

The problem was very serious. After everyone was tired, they could rest before continuing their journey. However, on this deserted island, there was no food and water. This was a very serious problem.

After the person lying on the ground heard Zhou xueli's count, he couldn't help but turn over and sit up. He asked anxiously,”

“Did everyone lose their bags?”

The person who asked the question looked around and saw that many people around him were doing the same thing. Everyone had an anxious look on their faces.

Even if they rushed to the site of the Research Institute and called the satellite phone for help, they did not know how long it would take for the rescue team to arrive. Before that, everyone needed to eat and drink.

There was no food on the island. Even if there was, no one would dare to eat contaminated things, and no one would dare to drink water.

The scene of No. 4 being 'digested' by the transparent thing in the pool was like a nightmare in everyone's mind. Now, everyone shivered at the mention of the 'water' on the island, so how could they dare to go near it?

“Mr. Zhou, what should we do?”

They didn't feel it when they were extremely tired, but now that they heard that there was a lack of food and water, they felt dry and hungry.

there are still ten backpacks here, which means there are at least ten supplies. Don't panic.

Mr. Zhou's face darkened at first, but then he became calm again. He motioned for Zhou Xue Li to help him stand up. He looked at Wolf one and the others who were sitting not far away, and finally looked at song Qing and the others who had been standing since the beginning.

After the four unknown cultivators walked out of the dense forest, they did not lie on the ground like the others. Instead, they stood up, as if they were very alert. They stood not far from each other, not close, looking around.

“Wolf one.”

Food had become precious and was in the hands of a few people, which meant that the others had to starve and thirst.

These people included Mr. Zhou, Zhou xueli, and the scientists. Once Mr. Zhou asked for a favor, his position as the absolute leader of this group of people would change.

His authority would be challenged, and once everyone wavered in his words, it was very likely that when he encountered danger later, these people would not risk their lives to work for him.

Mr. Zhou quickly thought of the bad consequences and decided to start with the bodyguards. He would make them hand over the food first and then distribute it among themselves.

He had hired this group of people and they loved money. He had also used the results of his research to move Wolf one. From the start of their persuasion, as long as they promised to pay more, it should work.

leave all the supplies here with me for now. We'll distribute them together, so no one will starve to death.

His words had greatly soothed the panic in many people's hearts.

After Mr. Zhou finished speaking, Wolf one sat on the ground and didn't move, as if he hadn't heard him.

Several bodyguards removed the gauze wrapped around their hands and wiped the sweat off their faces. There was only the sound of heavy breathing and the crashing of the waves around them.

A 'boom' sound came from the huge wave again, and the whole platform was buzzing. The majestic power of nature made the group of people tremble in fear.

Everyone looked at Mr. Zhou, Wolf one, and the others uneasily. Some were suspicious, some were uneasy, and some were helpless.

“Wolf one!” Mr. Zhou's voice began to sink. When he shouted the words 'Wolf one' again, his palm that was locked with the silver suitcase bent down and his fingertips knocked on the suitcase, making a 'ka ka' sound. His intention was self-evident.

Number seven looked at this scene with great interest. The dark side of human nature was starting to show.

Wolf one seemed to be smiling. The spear was at his feet. He took a dagger and wiped it with the gauze in his hand, ignoring Mr. Zhou's call..
