Chapter 135: Set-up (1)
Translator: 549690339
After their narrow escape from death, everyone’s strength seemed to have been exhausted in an instant. They sat in the sea and let the waves push them to the shore.
Song qingxiao was lying on the beach with her lower body in the water. The rain had not stopped, and it was still pattering on her body.
She didn’t even want to move a finger. She didn’t even bother to wipe her face. Everything that had happened was too shocking. Whether it was the high concentration she had when killing the bats or the escape just now, she had used up a lot of energy.
She still had to go to the island later, and the dangers on the island were no less than those on the sea. She tried her best to take time to rest and fight for a chance of survival.
The other participants had similar thoughts as her. The bodyguards and sailors were all listening to Mr. Zhou’s instructions and picking up some of the materials that had fallen into the sea.
“Just now, just now that was …”
A worker asked in a trembling voice, “”What is it?”
No one could answer him. The surface of the sea was dark, and no light could be seen. Obviously, the monster had dragged the ship into the sea, and the people at sea were in danger.
Some of them started sobbing softly, and then the sobbing turned into wailing. They could not control it.
“Shut up!”
In the midst of the loud crying, Mr. Zhou’s face was livid. He lowered his voice and scolded.
But in such an atmosphere of despair, everyone was immersed in despair, and no one was listening to him.
“I said, shut up!”
Mr. Zhou was already very frustrated. This trip out to sea was not as smooth as he had imagined. They had not even reached the island, but the ship had already lost many people.
Now that he was hearing people crying and refusing to listen to his scolding, his suppressed emotions exploded.
“Whoever cries again, I’ll kill him!”
He shouted loudly, his voice suppressing the crying workers. His voice spread out, and in the dark, the dense forest on the island echoed,”
“Crying… She was crying… She was crying… Kill him … He …”
The Echo was creepy, and the workers who had been crying were frightened and kept quiet for a long time.
When the Echo stopped, the worker was furious.
Perhaps it was because he had experienced too many things in the past day and night, the previous experience of escaping from death and the scene of seeing his companion buried in the mouth of the beast made him break down emotionally. He wanted to stand up and talk to Mr. Zhou, but he did not know whether it was because he had been in the sea for too long and his lower body was too heavy, or because he was too nervous, when he first tried to stand up, he was only standing halfway before he sat back down in the water, causing a large splash.
The man wiped his face and said with red eyes,”
“Why can’t we cry? On what basis should I kill?” At this point, the conflict between the people on the ship intensified.
you were the one who asked us to come to this Island. Now that someone is dead, you don’t even give us an explanation. You don’t even care if he cries. He shouted loudly,”
they said,” he turned around to look for a few trial-takers,”
what you’re doing is illegal. That’s why these dangerous animals are here. We’re going to report you!
Song qingxiao did not see Mr. Zhou’s face, but she could guess that his expression must be extremely ugly. Her heart was filled with murderous intent.
The tense atmosphere was triggered at once. Zhou xueli stood beside Mr. Zhou with a gun in her hand, and the bodyguards loyal to him also returned to his side.
“Alright, what’s the point of saying all this now?”
Even at this time, these people were still thinking about having a conflict, which made the cultivators a little impatient.
Under the influence of such an environment, it was hard to not be affected.
The crew-cut man sat up in the water.
“Did you forget where you are? Why was it so loud? Are you tired of living?”
“Mr. Zhou,”
“If something happens and there’s blood, there might be animals coming after the smell,” Zhou xueli also turned around and said.
Both sides were cautious, and after hearing Zhou Xue Li’s words, they both instinctively stopped.
“Now that the ship is gone, what are we going to do when we go back?”
A worker suddenly thought of something and asked.
As soon as these words were spoken, the previously relaxed atmosphere became a little stiff.
This was an isolated island, and there was no signal at sea a few days ago.
In the past few days, they had not encountered any passengers or ships, so the possibility of waiting for rescue was too small.
When they thought of this, everyone couldn’t help but feel a little desperate.
“We don’t have to worry about that.”
Mr. Zhou, who had been persuaded to calm down, said,”
the island was an experimental site that I abandoned thirteen years ago. At that time, 1 built an experimental Center and used the best materials.
When he mentioned this, his tone was somewhat proud.
“I believe that even after 13 years, it should still be usable.” He took two deep breaths and continued,”
there’s a satellite signal there that allows us to contact the outside world. What we need to do now is to wait until dawn and head to the research base to contact my people for rescue.
Mr. Zhou’s words were like a ray of light for this group of desperate people in the dark. Even Zhou xueli’s spirit was lifted, not to mention the workers who were successfully shocked by him.
Everyone’s faces were filled with joy. Mr. Zhou continued,
after we make contact, we’ll be able to leave this place in seven or eight days at the latest. As he said this, he turned to ‘look’ at the people around him.
In fact, the sky was still dark, and the surroundings were dark. In the dark, even if the People’s eyes had already adapted to such an environment, they could only see people’s shadows and where they were. They could not see everyone’s expressions and subtle movements.
Even when Mr. Zhou turned his head, it was only through the sound of the waves hitting the shore and the ‘pattering’ sound of the rain that people could guess the reason.
“But before that, if you are obedient, there will be a place for you on the ship. If you don’t listen, you have to think of a way yourself!”
Everyone could hear the threat in his words.
The workers who had been arguing with him did not dare to make a fuss anymore. Now that there was hope of survival, everyone was no longer waiting for death like before. However, song qingxiao noticed the meaning of Mr. Zhou’s words. He mentioned a deadline of ‘at most seven or eight days’.
It was hard to tell if he was lying or not.
At the moment, people were in a state of panic. The workers who had experienced all kinds of things could no longer be dismissed with money.
Even if there was money to be earned after the event, they had to be alive to spend it. Therefore, the workers who felt that their lives were in danger might rebel and cause trouble for Mr. Zhou.

Considering all these concerns, he was likely to lie and think of a way to temporarily appease the workers.
And if what he said was true, it proved that this mission also had a time limit.
In other words, from the moment they landed on the island, the time limit for the mission was at most eight days.
She pursed her lips, took two deep breaths, and sat up in the water. Mr. Zhou was satisfied to see that this group of people had become more well-behaved.
“The most important thing now is that we need to wait until dawn..”
