Song Qingxin’s heart skipped a beat and she suddenly asked,”
“Miss Zhou, What time is it?”
Zhou xueli, who was asked, was taking advantage of this temporary break to rest. She and a bodyguard carried Mr. Zhou and walked quickly through the forest for a long time. She was covered in sweat, but she didn’t make a sound, which was enough to prove her endurance and physical strength.
This was obviously not the time to chat. If it was someone else who asked this question, Zhou xueli would probably ignore them.
However, since it was song qingxiao who asked the question, she furrowed her brows. Even though she was a little unhappy, she still panted for a while and looked at the time.
“It’s already 4:26,”
When she mentioned the time, her face revealed a trace of anxiety.
Zhou xuli had said that they had to leave the forest at five in the afternoon, but it was almost four-thirty now. They didn’t know how long it would take to leave the forest.
Everyone was extremely dejected. Zhou xueli’s hands trembled as she took out some electronic equipment from her bag.
Although Mr. Zhou had been injected with drugs before and his mental power had improved a lot, in order to keep up with the pace of the big team, he mostly relied on bodyguards and Zhou xuli to carry him.
However, he was carrying a silver box in his hand, and he didn’t trust anyone, so Zhou xueli didn’t let go of his hand all the way. It was easy to imagine how much pressure she had to bear.
The moment the electronic device was taken out, Mr. Zhou reached out his hand again and pressed the fingerprint scanner. After unlocking it, a map quickly appeared in front of everyone. A red dot flashed on the map, representing everyone’s location.
From the map, everyone’s position did not seem to have changed much from before, and the distance they had moved was not large. Those who saw this could not help but reveal a look of despair.
The time was almost up, and everyone had not left the forest yet. The danger that they might encounter at night was simply driving their rationality to the brink of collapse.
Even though many of them were already tired and hungry and could barely lift their legs, they were still anxious to leave this place.
“How much longer before we leave?”
Some people couldn’t help but use their hands as fans, desperately making unnecessary small movements to vent the uneasiness in their hearts.
Zhou xueli slid her finger across the screen and remained silent for a while. Everyone thought that she wouldn’t answer, but she said,”
if the map is correct, there should be a stream not far away. If we follow the direction, we can see a River. It’s the upstream of the inner River we saw when we entered the island. As she said this, she looked at the crowd. Her face, which had turned red from walking away, was not frosty at all. Instead, she looked a little helpless.
“If we follow the river, we should be out of the forest in at most 15 minutes.”
When everyone heard that they were going to leave the forest, they couldn’t help but feel excited. Zhou xueli continued,
however, this map was copied from an old data disk. After so many years, I don’t know if there are any changes.
These words were like a basin of cold water that doused the excited people’s hearts.
Everyone instinctively turned to look at the other end of the forest. This forest was deep and the trees grew densely. At a glance, it seemed that there was no end.
When song qingxiao heard this, she laughed and said,”
“Maybe it hasn’t changed,” She held her breath and listened again. With the enhancement of her mental power, her strengthened five senses were much more sensitive than the average person. 1 heard the sound of water.
Song qingxiao’s words not only made the workers happy, but even professor Yan, Zhou xueli, and the others were also happy.
“That’s great,”
There was indeed a water source nearby. Not only did this prove what Zhou xueli had said, but it also proved that they were about to leave this strangely quiet forest. At the same time, it also proved that the map in Zhou xueli’s hands was still useful. This was great news for everyone.
When everyone who was already exhausted heard this, it was as if they had been given a shot in the arm, and they suddenly felt a lot more energetic. Zhou xueli looked at the map and pointed out the direction of the stream.
Song qingxiao was right. After walking for about five or six minutes, the dense trees became sparser, and the light was much brighter than before. At the other end of the forest were low bushes, and they could vaguely see the green and dense wild grass and uneven stones. In the gaps between the stones, water flowed, making a soft sound..
