Chapter 170: Continue 3

The fire grew bigger and bigger, and the ants began to rush out. Many white ants with fire on them quickly crawled out from the gaps between the grass and disappeared into the grass.

Song qingxiao and the others lit a fire and quickly ran back to where Mr. Zhou and the others were standing. The fire in the distance was getting bigger and bigger. The burning smell overwhelmed the smell of decay, covering the bones, white ants, and rotten crocodile scales.

Everyone stood on the river bank and watched this scene. Song qingxiao had been paying attention to the notification in her mind. After a few minutes, the notification in her mind changed. The third corner of the hexagram magic array lit up.

[ mutant creatures killed: bats, crocodiles, man-eating ants (mission progress 56%) ]

[ mission completed: 2000 points ]

[ sacrifice progress: 1/6 ]

[ mission completed: 2000 points ]

Perhaps it was because the white man-eating ants had devoured the delicious flesh of No. 6. After killing the man-eating ants, the percentage of completion of the task of killing the mutant creatures was much higher than that of the bats and crocodiles.

Half of the hexagram magical array had already lit up. This meant that she was one step closer to ‘going home’, and it also meant that the following trials would be even more dangerous.

Mr. Zhou was ready to get up and set off again. The sky was still dark when they arrived on the island, but they had encountered danger one after another along the way and had been delayed for a long time.

Many people revealed helpless and unwilling expressions when they heard that they had to continue their journey.

“It might be more dangerous at night.” Professor Yan saw the resistance on the remaining workers ‘faces and couldn’t help but sigh.

“I know that everyone is very tired, but we must at least go to a safe place before we can rest for a while.”

At this point, even if Mr. Zhou had previously given everyone a big promise, after encountering danger one after another, the majority of the people had already lost their lives. Now, the persuasiveness of professor Yan’s words was much less.

Someone helplessly pulled up his backpack and muttered,”

“Is there any safe place on the island?”

After he asked this question, no one spoke. No one dared to make such a promise to him, so the only response he got was silence.

The fire in the distance was still burning. Although number one and the others had already guaranteed that most of the white man-eating ants had been burned to death, the tragic death of number six and the others was still fresh in their minds. Many people still shivered when they went over.

The fire had already set some of the nearby grass and vines on fire, making crackling sounds. Before everyone even got close to the fire, they could already feel the waves of heat.

There were many ant carcasses on the ground that had crawled out after the fire started but were burnt black. Everyone went around to the bottom of the Research Institute’s discharge pipe, which was covered by vines. They looked up at the huge discharge pipe and all heaved a long sigh of relief.

Mr. Zhou’s face showed some excitement. Wolf one and the others had already grabbed the vines and climbed up.

The others did not want to fall behind either. With the bodyguards pushing and pulling, Mr. Zhou quickly climbed up, panting. Someone grabbed the vines covering the discharge pipe, and the half-covered chilechemical facility was finally fully revealed to everyone.

Zhou xueli took out a palm-sized electronic device from her backpack and handed it to Mr. Zhou. Mr. Zhou moved his hand, which was holding the silver box, over, stretched out his index finger and gently pointed it up.

The electronic screen flickered after he tapped on it, as if it had been unlocked. It lit up in an instant, and a map appeared.

A red dot was flashing on the map. Mr. Zhou smiled and explained,

this was drawn by the old people in the company before we left. They drew it based on their memories.

Song Qing looked down on him and continued,”

“However, we weren’t able to determine our location before. Now that we’ve found our location, it’ll be much easier to find the Research Institute.”

The electronic screen had completely changed. After unlocking it, Zhou xueli clicked on something and marked the exit of the discharge pipe. A red dot lit up, which should be the location of the group.

A green display line snaked up and pointed in the direction of the Research Institute in another corner.

From the mark on the map, everyone’s location was on the lower right corner of the screen, and the direction of the Research Institute was on the upper left corner. As Mr. Zhou had said at the beginning, they almost had to cross the middle of the island.

Although they had the map’s assistance and didn’t need to run around like headless flies, they had encountered so many dangers as soon as they entered the island. It really made the remaining people not have much confidence in the rest of the journey.

Unfortunately, there was no way back now. If they did not follow the main group, everyone knew the consequences of being abandoned. Now that things had come to this, they could only brace themselves and face it..
