Mr. Zhou seemed to have noticed song qingxiao’s gaze and suddenly called out to her.
It wasn’t a good thing to be called at this time. Song qingxiao raised her head and saw Mr. Zhou’s fake smile.
did you notice who was talking before the accident? ” He paused for a moment. I heard the sound coming from behind.
“It’s me,” he said.
This time, number seven stood out calmly and said with a smile,”
“I saw number five frowning, so I asked her.” She pointed at song qingxiao, and Mr. Zhou’s gaze shifted from her to song qingxiao.
“Miss song, did you notice something wrong?”
After he asked this, song Qing smiled and looked at number seven. A murderous intent flashed in his heart, but his face remained silent for a moment. He looked up at Mr. Zhou and said,
“Do you guys smell something stinky?”
Her words stunned everyone.
In fact, apart from those with nose problems, everyone smelled the stench.
After entering the forest on the island, everyone could faintly smell the stench of rotten animal corpses mixed with the smell of blood and something moldy. It was quite pungent.
But no matter what kind of smell it was, it wasn’t unusual for it to appear on the island.
Mr. Zhou thought she was going to say something, but when he heard her mention the stench, he couldn’t help but laugh.
“There is indeed a stinky smell.”
As he said this, he covered his nose with his handkerchief.
Zhou xueli took a deep breath, maybe there’s a dead animal’s body somewhere that’s rotting.
Song qingxiao nodded. The others were relieved when they heard that it was only an animal’s body.
After this delay, the sky was already completely bright. The rain in the early morning had completely stopped, and the fog in the forest had not dispersed. The entire island seemed to be slowly waking up.
Zhou xueli followed Mr. Zhou’s instructions and ordered everyone to continue on their way, hoping to find the sewage pipe that connected to the Research Institute as soon as possible along the riverbank. They wanted to get there before dark. Otherwise, it would be even more difficult for them to survive on the island once the sky turned dark.
Mr. Zhou ordered the bodyguards to dig a simple pit for cover, and the body of the other worker was thrown in place.
The two’s supplies were picked up by the others, and the group continued to walk along the river. The more they walked, the more they smelled the stench that song Qing had mentioned earlier. Obviously, the rotten animal corpses should be nearby.
The grass in front of them was even denser, and the weeds grew without restraint, already reaching the height of everyone’s calves.
In order to prevent any danger in the grass, everyone picked up some broken branches to explore the way. Before they reached it, they first hit the grass in front of them with the branches, trying to scare away the things hidden in the grass in advance.
There was no danger along the way, and they did not encounter any serious crisis.
However, the stench was even stronger, almost to the point where it was difficult to breathe.
Everyone covered their noses, feeling nauseated. The bodyguards surrounded Mr. Zhou on both sides, and the people in front were the young man number six, the crew-cut man number one, the scholar number two, and two workers carrying heavy bags.
While everyone was sweating profusely and suffering from the unknown danger and stench of the rugged road, the voice of the crew-cut guy rang out,”
“Guys, take a look.”
His sudden words made many people raise their heads in confusion. Mr. Zhou could no longer walk. He was sweating all over and had to rely on two bodyguards to hold him up.
As number one spoke, Mr. Zhou fell on one side of the bodyguard’s body, while his other hand was still firmly holding onto Zhou xuli. He held the chain of the box in his hand very tightly, as if he was holding onto a life-saving straw. Before he could ask anything, number one said,”
is that the discharge pipe of the Research Institute? ”
At this moment, number one’s words made Mr. Zhou’s spirit rise. He subconsciously pushed the bodyguard away and tried to stand up to take a closer look.
Song qingxiao also covered her nose and looked in the direction number one was pointing. About 50 to 60 meters away, the river in front of them had dried up and was occupied by a large area of aquatic grass. Unknown climbing plants covered the river bed.
Under the green grass, the exit of the circular pipeline was on the other side of the river bed, hidden by the vines. Through the gaps of the green plants, one could vaguely see the shadow of a modern facility..
