"Oh God." Li Xin and Jenny covered their mouths in disgust and ran back out. We hurriedly stomped on these crawling bugs with our feet. These bugs were so disgusting that they would pop up after being stepped on.
The green slime sticks to the soles of the shoes and is difficult to remove. It is really unbearable.
At this moment, another sailor next to him shouted in fear, "Oh my god, what is this... Captain... ah... Captain, please help me."
Before he could finish his words, as he was standing by the river, his body suddenly fell flat on the ground, as if he had been dragged down by something, and the thing was trying to lift him closer to the water.
The body slid down directly. The water in the pond was originally very clear, but in a blink of an eye, the water turned black and nothing could be seen.
I didn't have time to think about it, so I quickly stepped forward and jumped up. When I lay down, I just grabbed his hand. I wanted to pull him back, but his body was pulled by a strong force.
They had to take me down.
At this moment, someone behind me grabbed my right foot and said, "Brother Yi, hold on." It was Jiao Ba. At this critical moment, we had to count on him. Shunzi hurriedly grabbed my left foot on the left.
foot.
The two of them pulled me up hard, but no matter how hard they tried, I just couldn't get up. There was obviously a very powerful force under the water pulling the sailor, and he shouted in pain, "Ah,
There's something biting me in the water, they're biting me, save me, save me, Captain."
Chang Shan and Martin also came over to help. Four people grabbed me and pulled me up hard. Not only did so many people try hard to pull me up, but I almost followed the sailor down. This force was really too strong.
, so powerful that so many people couldn't hold it back, and the most terrible thing at the same time was that the forces from these two sides were pulling me at the same time. I felt like I was about to be torn into pieces by them.
I yelled, "Fuck, I can't hold it any longer. If I keep pulling it like this, my arm will fall off."
"Brother Yi, please let go of him, or we will all have to go down." He yelled anxiously.
I turned around and shouted to the others, "I can't let go, or he will be finished. Big man, what the hell are you doing standing still? Shoot, shoot quickly."
Only then did the big man and the others react and quickly raised their guns to shoot. Under a burst of random gunfire, Jiao Ba and the others pulled me and the sailor up, but after we came up, we were dumbfounded again.
The lower body of the sailor was gone, and only the bloody upper body was left. All the internal organs and other things were flowing out. He stared with dead eyes. The state of death was simply horrible. The most helpless thing was,
Maybe he didn't know how he died until he died, and none of us know what was in the river.
Martin was immediately stunned, "Oh my god, what happened just now?"
He wanted to go over, but I stopped him after I stood up, "Let's go, let's go. He's dead. We can't stay here any longer. There's something in the pond."
A group of us all retreated, everyone was a little shocked. Everything happened too fast. In the blink of an eye, two companions died. This was something none of us had ever thought of. It was really hard to accept.
.
"Captain, what happened just now? How could it be like this?" asked a sailor. They were lucky enough to survive. If they had not left the pond, all five of them would have died in it.
Martin said in horror, "How do I know? I told you before that the pond is dangerous, but you..." He pointed at them angrily, his whole body trembling a little.
"Forget it, Captain, it's useless for you to blame them. What happened has already happened and no one can change it." Shaoyu said coldly, without any expression on his face, as if he had lost his soul.
"There must be something in the water of the pond. It's so scary. Did you all see it just now? The water suddenly turned black." I gasped and looked at everyone and said.
"Well, this is not an ordinary desert oasis. The island itself is very problematic. The water in this pond is even more problematic. Not only is it poisonous, but the fish in it were also very weird before. But I didn't expect it to be so scary.
"Jiao Ba said with a hand on his forehead, looking a little tired.
Jenny said a little sadly, "A few minutes ago, they were still alive, but now...they are all dead."
Li Xin held her shoulders and comforted her, "Forget it, don't think about it, just take it lightly."
"Damn it, there are dangers everywhere in this damn place. Mr. Mai, what should we do now?" the big man asked with a curse.
Mai Lao still had that calm expression. He kept staring at the palace in front of him and did not immediately answer the big man's words. The big man asked again, "Mao Lao, what am I asking you? What should I do now?"
"I heard it. I'm not deaf. There's nothing to do. Let's set off now and go to the palace." Mai Lao stretched out his hand and pointed forward, his eyes became very strange, and there seemed to be an imperceptible smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.
He made me feel strange, even scary.
"If you want to reach the palace opposite, you have to cross this pond, and the only way is the small suspension bridge. It seems that the suspension bridge is quite old. I don't know if it can still be used." I whispered.
"You have to try whether it works or not. Let's go." Mr. Mai took the lead to walk towards the suspension bridge, and the rest of us immediately followed. We don't have time to be sad. Maybe in the next second, someone among us will die.
, so we have become accustomed to it. The God of Death has been following us. For people like us, death is just one step away.
When we dug through the grass and walked to the suspension bridge, we discovered that the suspension bridge was very low, not ordinary low. Normally, the suspension bridge should be several meters above the river, or even more than ten meters high.
But this suspension bridge is very special. It is just floating on the river, less than half a meter away, and the bridge board is almost touching the water.
But overall, this suspension bridge is pretty good, the wooden boards look relatively strong, and the only two ropes are also very thick. If only one person walks at a time, there should be no problem, but as soon as I saw this
The suspension bridge reminded me of my previous experience on Ghost Island. There was a suspension bridge similar to this one.
"This... the bridge deck is too short, isn't it? It's almost touching the water." I stood at one end of the suspension bridge and tried to look into the water. The water in the pond actually became clear again.
Weird little fish are still swimming around.
"This is not a good thing. We are too close to the river and may be in danger." Jiao Ba reminded everyone that the death of the two sailors just now is the best evidence.
"But now we can only go through this. This is the only way." Chang Shan said softly.
"Everyone, let's think of a solution. When I look at this pond, I feel scared." I turned around and said.
Mr. Mai said simply, "There is nothing we can do. Everyone just crosses the bridge one after another."
"One after another? You mean...let us go on the bridge together?" Li Xin glanced at him and asked.
Mr. Mai nodded and said, "Yes, we can't leave one by one. It's more dangerous. If there are more people, we can still take care of each other."
"What if Xiao Qiao can't bear the weight of so many of us? That's not a dangerous issue. We will all fall into the river by then." Chang Shan said calmly.
Finally, we had a brief discussion and decided to divide into two groups to cross the bridge. Mai Lao and Chang Shan led one group of people, while Jiao Ba and I led another group of people. Mai Lao and the others would cross the bridge first, and we would follow later.
Li Xin and Jenny are both in Mai Lao's group. This is also my opinion. Chang Shan and Mai Lao are the most capable, especially Mai Lao. With him, their personal safety is absolutely guaranteed, but I also
Keep an eye out, Mr. Mai has become very weird recently, and you can't completely rely on him for some things. I quietly asked Chang Shan to take good care of Li Xin and Jenny, and he agreed immediately. With his promise, I felt happy in my heart.
It's much more practical.
Mr. Mai was the first to walk onto the bridge, followed closely by Martin, Less than 10, and others. Li Xin and Jenny were in the middle, and Chang Shan came to the back. This is a good order. The two people in front and behind must be capable.
The strongest, this can ensure the safety of the team.
After they all got on the bridge, Xiao Qiao seemed to be sinking a little. The bridge board had already touched the water. Every step they took, their feet would touch the river water. Mai Lao grabbed the rope of the suspension bridge with one hand and held it with the other hand.
With his shotgun in hand, he turned around and commanded everyone, "Everyone, be careful and pay attention to the river water under your feet."
Chang Shan also warned at the end, "Don't be nervous, just follow Mr. Mai."
For a moment, the atmosphere seemed extra tense. Even those of us who had not been on the bridge were pounding in our hearts. My palms were all sweaty and I was so nervous that I didn’t even dare to blink.
Watching the movement of the river closely, I was really afraid that some monster would suddenly appear in the river.
Their pace was not fast, but not slow either. Every step they took was very stable, but the small bridge kept making that "crunching" sound. It was obvious that the small bridge was bearing a huge weight. I was really a little bit
I'm worried that if the bridge suddenly breaks down, it will be a disaster.
A few minutes later, Mai Lao was the first to reach the opposite side. He turned around and shouted, "Everyone, hurry up, while it is safe now, speed up your pace." The people behind then quickened their pace, and the small bridge also started to move.
A little shaken.
Jiao Ba asked in my ear at this time, "Brother Yi, have you sensed anything unusual about Mr. Mai?"
His words shocked me. I looked at him sideways and said, "Did you notice it too?"
Jiao Bathief said with a sly smile, "Haha, I noticed it from the moment I arrived on the island. I felt that he was expecting something. Although he tried his best to hide himself, I still discovered him accidentally. The most important thing is,
His eyes are different from before."
"Well, I feel the same, but the look in his eyes has changed, but that doesn't mean anything? After arriving on the island, it's not just Mai Lao, but Martin, too, has changed?" I said in a low voice.
Jiao Ba sneered and said, "Just watch, this time, the secret will be solved and the truth will be revealed."
"Are you so sure?" I asked.
Jiao Ba squinted his eyes and said something that I half understood, "It can't be fake if it's true, and it can't be true if it's false. You'll know when the time comes."
I nodded and didn't speak anymore. Although I was talking to him just now, my eyes basically didn't leave Li Xin and the others. Only after they arrived safely on the other side did I let go of my hanging heart. It was finally a safe journey.
,
Mai Lao shouted from the opposite side, "Zhongyi, you can come here."
I waved my hand, turned to the others and said, "We're leaving."
