Chapter One Hundred and Fifty

After experiencing all kinds of events, everyone's desire to leave this ‘Alcatraz’ island quickly became more and more urgent.

Arriving at the institute earlier means that you may go home sooner.

On the one hand, there is a wolf who is not sure when it will return, on the other hand, it may contact an outside research institute, hoping to overcome the unknown fear, and everyone wants to leave here more and more at this time.

"Go first?"

Zhou Xueli asked back, she couldn't hear the unpleasantness in her tone, but she felt a sense of joy in her arms.

"But, before dawn, there may be danger on the mountain..."

"Stay here, it may also be dangerous." Professor Yan said calmly, and one of the surviving workers said:

"The wolf doesn't know when it might come back."

The seaside wind is strong, which means that the smell of blood will spread much faster than everyone imagined.

Everyone wanted to leave quickly, and the trialists did not object, and Zhou Xueli agreed accordingly.

Many of the tents in the camp were destroyed in the previous silver-white wolf raid. These things were heavy and inconvenient, so everyone picked up other important things and took them away.

There was a feeling of depression in the silence. There was no way to go up the mountain. The people in the team had to forcibly open up a path.

The mountain wall was covered with weeds, and under the moonlight it was swaying with the sea breeze, making the sound of'sissossos.' The grass was pitch black. I wonder if there is any danger hidden in it.

No one dared to be in the forefront, and at this time, the tester also dared not to be big.

After pushing three blocks for four and a half days, Mr. Zhou came forward to communicate with the wolf. The two whispered for a while, and finally two bodyguards walked in the forefront. Song Qingxiao and No.3 accompanied the wolf one and the other bodyguard to the left and right sides of Mr. Zhou. After the number and the seventh break.

Without the mountain road, this road over the mountains is rugged and bumpy.

When the sea breeze blows, it blows the clothes and hair of many people into chaos, seeming to blow people away.

In order to stabilize the body, many people subconsciously grasp things with their hands before daring to take their steps on the way up the mountain.

Song Qingxiao tightened the grass cane, and every time he stepped on it, he could hear the dirt falling down.

Her clothes were scratched, and the sweat on her body never stopped. As soon as the wind blew, she felt cold and whistling on her body, and a chill spread from her back to her limbs.

When the team came around, the people breathed forbearance and heartbeat. I don't know how long it took, and the sky was bright. After passing through the steepest part of the terrain, the road was easier to walk.

As the sun slowly rose to the east, after a glimmer of dawn, the suffocating breath in many people's hearts gradually relaxed a lot.

Fortunately, everyone was initially worried that the wolf would return and encounter danger, but in the process of climbing the mountain, neither of these two situations of concern occurred.

The sky was completely bright, and Song Qingxiao estimated that two or three hours had passed, and the top of the mountain was finally approaching.

When the exhausted people saw this scene, they couldn't help but lifted their spirits, and subconsciously speeded up.

The top of the mountain was rugged and covered with weeds that were nearly half a person tall. Everyone climbed up and sat cross-legged. The wind on the top was much stronger than the platform below the mountain, and many people’s clothes were buzzing.

The bodyguards who went up the mountain first resisted their tiredness and swept around, probably after confirming that there were no dangerous creatures on the top of the mountain, and then sat down. Those who had exhausted their energy and climbed up the mountain lay down on the ground, except for gasping. , It seems that the strength to flick a finger is gone.

Although a few testers were tired, they were much better than others.

The four of them sat in different directions, adjusted their breathing, took out some food and stuffed them into their stomachs, regaining their strength.

Mr. Zhou and others also began to distribute the remaining food. People lying motionless on the grass felt that the gastrointestinal motility became more frequent after hearing the sound of the food being torn apart.

Amidst the wheezing of ‘baby babble’, hungry ‘grumbling’ sounds one after another.

The shortage of food and water made many people not have enough to eat last night.

After escaping all the way, a lot of physical strength was consumed, causing the body to make greater protests.

"I can not make it……"

Someone was lying in the grass and humming, with self-defeating and abandoning voice in his tone:

"I may not be able to go out alive."

There was frustration and crying in his voice. At first, everyone responded in silence, and then someone answered in a low voice:

"I'm hungry and thirsty, and can't walk anymore."

"Can you give me something to eat?"

The worker lying in the grass began to plead, "Just a little bit of food, I still want to go home..."

"Give something to eat..."

"Mr. Zhou..."

Once someone asked, others pleaded one after another.

At this time, food and water are extremely precious, and Mr. Zhou himself is not enough, so naturally it is impossible to share it with others.

The cry of pleading was mixed with crying, and Mr. Zhou had not heard of it, and the cry showed a bit of panic and weeping.

It was annoying after listening for a long time. Zhou Xueli stood up impatiently and was about to yell. After walking a few steps, she seemed to have discovered something. Suddenly she narrowed her eyes and shouted:

"Look at it."

There was excitement in her tone. When she turned her head, she watched Mr. Zhou subconsciously shout:

"Changsheng, I saw the institute!"

When she said this, she instantly ignited the fire of hope for everyone.

The people who were still crying before seemed to be beaten up with blood again, and got up from the grass.

Even Mr. Zhou propped up his upper body and turned around to look.

Everyone staggered to their feet, leaned in the direction of Zhou Xueli, and asked repeatedly:

"where is it?"

At this moment, there is nothing more exciting than finding the news of the research institute. Song Qingxiao and No.7 looked at each other, pondered the name Zhou Xueli called out, and then stood up.

Everyone looked down in the direction of Zhou Xueli’s fingers. The entire hillside was covered by green wattle, and the mountainside was surrounded by layers of clouds and mist. On one side was the vast blue sea, and on the other side was the shady green forest, a dilapidated white building interspersed with it. Among them, it is very eye-catching.

If it weren't for the scene mission, the thrilling experience of these two days would still be reflected in everyone's minds. I am afraid that many people will sigh for such a scene, but at this time everyone is cheering for the discovery of the research institute.

After confirming the location of the research institute, it was like finding a way home.

Everyone stopped crying or shouting, and now I wish I could plug my wings and fly to the research institute, make a phone call, and wait for the rescuer to appear.

However, Song Qing felt more and more urgent as he was careful. From the position on the mountain, the location of the institute was not far away. It was half a day away at most and could be reached before the evening.

As Mr. Zhou and others said, after the emergency call, the rescue plane can arrive within a day at most.

This means that the time for this round of tasks has begun to count down.

And the task was only halfway there, and there were as many as three trialists who needed sacrifices.

Everyone looked at each other's eyes with something indistinct, and the battle intent rolled in Song Qing cautiously, and she could feel the smell of the mountain rain that was permeating between the few people.

"Go down the mountain first and rush to the research institute."

With the help of Professor Yan, Mr. Zhou promptly ordered after seeing the research institute.

Several people stuffed the food into their mouths in twos, and the bags were thrown to the ground casually, and then they were picked up by many people who had nothing to eat.

The residue of the food on it was licked clean, and no one laughed at these hungry people at this time.

The emergence of the research institute aroused everyone's hope of survival, and everyone wanted to fight for more chances and leave this Alcatraz island.

But the way down the mountain is far more difficult and dangerous than everyone imagined.

Before going up the mountain, the terrain was very difficult to walk, and the downhill was even steeper.

Out of everyone's sight, there was a grass **** that was slanting straight down. The edge of the grass **** was covered with long reeds, followed by a bottomless cliff.

The cliff is covered with thorns and densely packed, it is not easy to climb down with bare hands.

Everyone was sad, and Zhou Xueli was also a little anxious. Professor Yan walked carefully to the edge of the grass **** and took a look, then turned back, worriedly and made a suggestion:

"Shirley, is there any other way to get to the institute again?"

"This one is the most recent and the best one."

Zhou Xueli shook her head and bit the corner of her mouth.

"After going down the mountain, it is the road that leads directly to the institute. If you change the other direction, you have to go down the mountain. At the same time, you can only go around the forest, and there is a river dug in the middle."

Let's not say that it is not easy for everyone to go up the mountain, and it is even more difficult to go down the mountain.

The idea of ​​returning to the jungle is already chilling.

The lethality of the silver-white giant wolf in the forest impressed the survivors last night. The reason why everyone climbed up the mountain in the dark was to hide from the wolf. Now, where would you dare to go back again?

Not to mention the river dug out by Zhou Xueli.

After going to the island, when everyone heard about the river, they didn't have any good impressions.

In addition to the initial crocodile nest, which caused a large number of deaths, the scene of being swallowed and digested by unknown creatures in the river on the 4th last night appeared to everyone's mind like a nightmare.

"Even if these factors are aside, it will take at least three days to go from there."

Having said that, Zhou Xueli added another sentence:

"This does not include dangerous situations."

In other words, once you encounter a mutant creature, this time will increase even more.

Food and water are in short supply now, let alone delay for more than three days.

If you can, everyone doesn't want to stay in this place anymore.

After she finished speaking, Professor Yan himself knew that this method was not advisable, and the only way left was to descend from here.

But going down the mountain is not easy. After a brief discussion, Lang Yi made a suggestion:

"We should all have safety ropes."

In the materials prepared at the time, safety ropes were in every backpack. When everyone left the foot of the mountain, although the tent was abandoned, the safety ropes were left behind.

There are a total of ten safety ropes, each of which is three meters in length. After being spliced ​​together, the total length is thirty meters.

These ropes were prepared by Mr. Zhou, the materials were quite strong, and it was not a problem to carry two or three weights.

Everyone went down one by one, first finding a place to settle down halfway up the mountain, and talking about the rest of the way down the mountain.

Although this proposal is not particularly good, other than that, no one can think of other ways for a while.

But on the question of who should take the first step, everyone is divided again.

The workers knew very well in their hearts that in such a situation, in all likelihood, the bodyguards were divided into two groups. One group first went down to investigate the situation below, and confirmed that it was correct. Mr. Zhou's group must go first.

Then there are the remaining bodyguards, they may be left last.

But there is hope of survival, even if it is left in the end, everyone is satisfied.

The most problematic is the four testers instead.

As the mission time approaches, it is a big problem that no one believes in anyone and who will go down first.

Mr. Zhou and the others were still discussing how to proceed. The four testers unanimously chose a corner to stand, and the number seven said with a smile:

"Between us, who will go down first?"

After confirming the plan, Mr. Zhou still has an ‘Evolution Medicine’ in his hand hanging a tester.

Mr. Zhou will not throw out such a bait for nothing, it will definitely let the testers make the best use of it.

There are only four bodyguards left, and all of them are elite. If any one is damaged, the danger to Mr. Zhou's subsequent journey will be even greater.

Under such circumstances, he would definitely require an outstanding tester to accompany him to ensure the safety of the bodyguards.

If everyone doesn't want to leave the team, who gets on first is a big question.

Now everyone doesn't trust anyone, the closer the important juncture is in time, everyone wants to give the opponent a cold arrow in an attempt to weaken the opponent's strength~lightnovelpub.net~ to increase their chances of survival.

Whoever pulls the rope down first can't guarantee that the people on it will not do anything frantically.

No.1 squinted, and when he didn't hear No.7, it was clear that he would not be the first person to go down the mountain.

It was even more impossible for No. 3 to agree. Song Qingxiao had only been conspired by Song Qingxiao, and her back was injured. She couldn't guarantee whether someone would cut the rope when she was halfway through the climb.

At this point, everyone doesn't care about the lives of Mr. Zhou and ordinary people, and everyone only desires to complete the task as soon as possible.

Several people are still discussing, and Mr. Zhou has already begun to greet:

"Mr. Zhao, Miss Song..."

The first class of wolf was splicing the safety rope and preparing to descend the mountain. With the support of Zhou Xueli, Mr. Zhou slowly walked in the direction of the four testers:

"We decided to go down the fishing line, but what is going on below is not clear. Now Wolf One, Wolf Two, and Wolf Six are going to check first. After confirming that there is no danger, the news will be posted." He explained first. Then he smiled and said his purpose of coming here:

"But the three of them, I'm afraid there is not enough number of them, can you ask you to come out alone to help follow along, and when you encounter danger, you can help each other?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his gaze swept across the faces of No. 1, No. 3, No. 7 and Song Qing, waiting for them to give him an answer.

"Mr. Zhao?"

He didn't get a reply from No. 1, and then clicked the names of No. 3 and No. 7, and finally his eyes fell on Song Qingxiao:

"Miss Song?"

"Let me go."

Unexpectedly, after being named by Mr. Zhou, Song Qingxiao nodded and agreed to Mr. Zhou's request.

No.1 and No.3 looked at each other instinctively, and there was a dull and inexplicable color in their eyes.
