Chapter 163: Fengshui (1)

In an instant, the skeletons of those who had died to the ants were revealed. Those who had retreated were afraid that they had not run far enough, and they only stopped when they had retreated to the river bank.
Mr. Zhou seemed to be in a very bad state. Professor Yan and the others who were accompanying him seemed to know this in their hearts and were taking out instruments from their bags to check for him.
The rest of the bodyguards didn’t dare to relax. In addition to being on guard against the possible attacks of ferocious mutant creatures, they also had to guard against the attacks of snakes, insects, rats, and ants hidden underground.
All the creatures on the island had been infected, from crocodiles to ants. They could not be ignored.
On the other hand, the trial-takers were much more harmonious with each other because of number six’s death.
At least now that there was a sacrifice mission, they would not easily attack the ‘sacrifice’ unless there was a mutant creature. This way, when there was no danger, everyone could sit together and the atmosphere was harmonious.
The sense of security brought by points was obviously much more reliable than the nonsense that people said when they swore to each other.
The others sat far away from the trial-takers, as they had all seen the trial-takers ‘actions during the escape, except for song qingxiao. The Golden light on number one’s body, the torch that appeared out of thin air on number two, the figure of number three that suddenly disappeared and reappeared, and number Seven’s inhuman form were all recalled by the ordinary people after the incident. They looked at them with suspicion, exploration, resistance, and fear.
Mr. Zhou, a total of people died, the staff member who was following Zhou xueli’s instructions to count the number of dead people still had a lingering fear on his face. When he mentioned the dead people, his eyes showed fear and pity that only the living had the right to show, nine people.
He reported the number in a heavy tone. Even the cold-blooded Mr. Zhou, who had organized this trip and had already lost his life, could not help but tremble when he heard this.
of the dead, four workers died, and five of the Wolfpack members you hired died.
No matter how well-trained these bodyguards were, they were helpless against the attack of a large number of white ants. Once they were entangled, all eighteen martial arts skills would be useless.
Mr. Zhou’s face turned ashen. The number of bodyguards killed was beyond his expectations, which obviously made him feel very pained.
He had hired thirteen bodyguards, each of whom was a first-class master. However, seven of them had died so far, leaving only six alive. The team had just arrived on the island and had not gone deep into the island. They had only found the exhaust pipe of the Research Institute.
There was still a long way to go, and the deeper they went into the island, the higher the chances of encountering danger. He didn’t know if the remaining six bodyguards could hold on to the end.
The bad news obviously gave Mr. Zhou a big blow. He coughed twice, and then couldn’t hold it in anymore. He coughed so hard that his tall and thin body almost curled up in Zhou xueli’s arms. His pale face turned red, and his snot and tears came out.
He coughed out a large amount of saliva on his face and neck, and his body trembled unconsciously. Zhou xueli didn’t find it disgusting. She took out a bag of paper towels that were half-wet from the sea water from her bag and wiped him.
“There are still 26 people alive.”
The person who was reporting to Mr. Zhou was also a little flustered when he saw this situation.
Mr. Zhou was the leader of this group. Once something happened to him, the consequences would be no small matter.
Among the 26 people who survived, other than Mr. Zhou and Zhou xueli, there were six bodyguards, six trial-takers such as song qingxiao who survived, five scientists who were with Mr. Zhou, and the rest were the workers he hired and the crew members who had escaped from the ship.
These people had suffered the most losses on the island. The remaining few had already seen the situation clearly, and their eyes were filled with despair and fear.
“What do we do?”
Someone asked in a trembling voice. The White ants from before were too terrifying. They could gnaw a living person into bones in minutes, but they just happened to be in the critical position.
“Is there any other way to the Research Institute? Where’s the map? Have you seen the map?”
One of the surviving workers asked. Even though they were far away from the group of terrifying mutated creatures, the scene of them being gnawed at remained in everyone’s mind. The worker even rubbed his arms when he asked.
“This is the most reliable path.”
Mr. Zhou coughed so hard that he couldn’t speak. Zhou xueli tried to calm him down as she replied,”
the island has changed too much in the past ten years. Many of the roads have changed. If you don’t want to take the wrong path, the most reliable way is to follow the discharge pipeline of the Research Institute.
Her words made everyone fall into despair again. Professor Yan and the others took some water and fed Mr. Zhou. Most of the water flowed down from the corner of his mouth to his neck and into his clothes.
“Why don’t we get rid of these white ants?”
Number one was still applying the ointment that professor Yan and the others had given him. He had been injured by the mutated white ants before and was worried that he would be infected.
Although professor Yan and the others had proved that the medicine they had brought was probably useless to the creatures on the island when they treated those who had been bitten to death by the spiders, it was better than nothing. After applying it, they just wanted to comfort themselves.
After number one made this suggestion, the trial-takers ‘expressions changed.
Mr. Zhou and the others didn’t know what he was thinking, but the other five knew. He made this suggestion not for the sake of the team, but to kill the White ants and light up the hexagram magic array as soon as possible, which would speed up the progress of the mission.
No one spoke, and the trial-taker did not refute. Mr. Zhou held back his cough and struggled to sit up.
He tried to force a smile, but his facial muscles twitched violently, and he failed several times.
“This works too.”
He panted for a few times. After calming his breathing, he said in a hoarse voice,” but, who will get rid of these white ants? ”
With the lesson learned from number six and his bodyguards, everyone’s expression changed at the mention of ants. Who would dare to go forward at this time?
Everyone was a little afraid. Wherever Mr. Zhou’s gaze landed, all the workers trembled and lowered their heads, as if his gaze was a death warrant.
Mr. Zhou’s eyes fell on song qingxiao again. This time, song qingxiao was very calm and even smiled.
The situation had been reversed. Back in the crocodile’s nest, Mr. Zhou had found the participants to be an eyesore and wanted to get rid of them first. At that time, he had a large group of bodyguards with him. No one dared to disobey him no matter where his gun was pointed at.
But now? Now, more than half of the bodyguards he relied on to survive were dead, leaving only six alive. With so many people dead, even if these bodyguards were for money, he could not guarantee that they would not really die for money at a real critical moment.
Even someone as strong as Mr. Zhou had no choice but to lower his head.
“Mr. Zhao,”
As expected, Mr. Zhou changed his tough attitude and forced a smile.
“As you can see, there aren’t many people left in our team.”
His eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of confusion, hiding all his thoughts. He did not mention the changes he had seen on these people earlier, as if he did not know about it. His tone was very polite.
“Can I ask you guys to come forward?”
He spoke politely to number one, no longer with his previous overbearing attitude. After entering the island, the law of the jungle was truly displayed. Number one was treated this way, but he was very calm, as if it was natural, and accepted his polite address.
“Sure, but what can Mr. Zhou offer us?”
Number one laughed and asked a question in return. Mr. Zhou was stunned by the question..
