Three hundred and forty four - survival in the wilderness

A group of eight people shuttled through the silent jungle. Because it was too dense, the depths of the jungle almost didn't see sunlight all day long. A damp and wet breath rushed towards their faces. The moist water vapor stained their bodies, and everyone felt their bodies were damp. Huhu.

And because the jungle is too dense, it is almost difficult to move forward. You need to use wooden sticks and other tools to open the way in front of you in turn, and Fisher leads Jennifer and the two of you. The rustling sound, and the silent and suppressed breathing of everyone.

Moreover, everyone will lose their way from time to time, and someone needs to climb up to find the goal on the top of the mountain again.

"Will someone really sacrifice himself to light up those signal towers?"

Just when the fatigue of the team was getting stronger and the speed was getting slower and slower, one of the blond women suddenly whispered, "There are 200 signal towers on the entire island, so it takes 200 people to sacrifice themselves... Are there really that many people willing to sacrifice themselves to save us?"

Hearing this sentence, everyone in the entire team was startled, and their footsteps slowed down unconsciously.

More than 500 people must sacrifice 200 people, even one person is not enough. No matter how you look at it, this is a difficult task, even an impossible challenge...

"In any case, our first step must be to enter the safe zone."

Fisher frowned, lowered his voice, and said in a volume that only a few people around him could hear, "Although I don't understand what the 'curse' that Gantz said, but in any case, it needs to be considered later. What we have to do now is to rush into the safe zone, put ourselves in a safe place first, and then discuss the rest in the long run..."

"you're right!"

Another blonde woman, Jennifer, also lowered her voice, "In any case, only in the safe zone can we get real safety, otherwise the monster will stare at us at any time, and once it does, we have almost no hope of escaping..."

Everyone's heart tightened immediately when they heard the words. Although they didn't see the whole picture of the monster, the giant pale hand just before had deeply defeated most people's resistance and left a mark in their minds. A heavy stroke.

"Could the 'curse' mentioned by Gantz be a special kind of poisonous gas, as long as our communicator lights up the signal tower, the poisonous gas will be released?"

Just when everyone was silent, a voice of doubt suddenly came from the side.

Fisher looked to the side, but saw that it was a thin young man who followed him not long ago. The young man's name was John. He was not originally Fisher's bodyguard, but a hacker. He was Fisher's plan to use To counter Blackwatch's pervasive Internet surveillance.

At this time, the young man named John was fiddling with the communicator in his hand, as if he wanted to crack some clues.

"It could also be some kind of virus."

Fisher thought for a while, and said in a deep voice, "Don't forget, Blackwatch is a biotechnology company. They can even lead the world in developing a vaccine for the black light virus. Whether the black light virus is intentionally spread by their company or not, it can explain This company is at the top level of the federation in terms of biology, and I wouldn't be surprised if they really developed a virus that would turn the whole body into ashes as long as they were infected..."

"So the more this is the case, the more we want to overthrow them!"

Jennifer murmured in a low voice, with a pale but resolute expression, exuding the radiance of the Virgin, "It's really not possible, let me light up the signal tower, I just hope you can leave smoothly, and then put this evil company Completely crushed!"

"It doesn't have to be like this yet."

Fisher frowned and said, "I don't want any of you to sacrifice here. If possible, I hope to know the experience of activating the signal tower from other people, and analyze the rules from it. Maybe we can find a way to evade the signal tower. Ways to escape from here, so as to avoid unnecessary sacrifices..."

Everyone fell silent after hearing the words, but they seemed to have a little motivation, and the pace of moving forward seemed to speed up a little.

In normal times, Fisher who said such words would definitely be secretly satisfied, but today he didn't feel any excitement because of this wave of gathering the army's morale, and his heart was even heavier.

Because there seems to be one thing that everyone ignores, that is—even if all the signal towers are lit, will the other party really keep their promise and let him go?

Fisher didn't dare to say this idea at all. One is that it doesn't make any sense to think about it now, and the other is that once he said it, the entire team might no longer have any will to survive...

Thinking of this, Fisher just hurried on his way, forcibly wading out a narrow path leading to the top of the mountain in the dense jungle.

Along the way, the people did not stop at any point other than coming to the stream to replenish some water. In this way, they still marched for seven or eight hours, and finally opened a road abruptly before the sun was about to set and reached the top of the mountain.

Suddenly, an empty and fertile black land came into everyone's eyes.

This is an empty land with a radius of 100 meters, as if it has been leveled by an excavator. There are almost no plants to be seen, only withered yellow leaves scattered on the ground, which proves that this place was once a jungle.

It's just that all the trees in the area on the top of the mountain were leveled by some unknown force...

"Is this the safe zone?"

Looking at the extremely empty mountain top, Fisher felt as if his legs had lost all strength. He resisted his exhaustion and dragged two blond women into the safe zone, and immediately collapsed on the ground, panting heavily. .

As for the five people who took turns to open the way in front, the clothes all over their bodies were scratched by sharp plants, and the long strips of scratches with red bloodstains straddled the people's bodies, which looked shocking.

"Fisher, look there."

Ten minutes later, everyone felt that they were gradually 'living', but at this moment, Jennifer suddenly spoke, pointing to a metallic building in front of her, and said weakly, "What is that?"

"I don't know, but it looks like some kind of totem? Or some kind of instrument?"

Fisher squinted his eyes and looked at the huge totem-like spire. He couldn't see the area on the top of the mountain when he was at the foot of the mountain. Only now did he realize that the spire was located in the middle of the open space on the top of the mountain, about ten meters high.

Although it is not very grand, it is already the most conspicuous existence on the bare mountain top.

At this time, everyone gradually realized that it wasn't just them, there were more than a dozen people parked here in the open area on the top of the mountain. means to distinguish whether these fungi are poisonous.

With the arrival of Fisher and the others, many people looked here at the same time, but at this time there was no longer any fear in the eyes of this group of people. On the contrary, when they looked at Fisher, the former leader, there was still There is a taste of covetousness.

"Ignore them..."

Fisher took a deep breath. Of course he understood how these people felt. As the front-line leader of White Embers, although he had to look at the faces behind the scenes, on the bright side, he had always been convinced by everyone.

As for the members of the White Embers Organization, except for some true environmentalists, most of the remaining people are first-class mercenaries. These people who live a life of licking blood only value money. Besides, what kind of environmental protection and what beliefs are related to them? not related.

The problem lies with these people.

Fisher found that the people who came to the top of the mountain at this time were all mercenaries, and there were almost no real environmental protection volunteers, and this group of people not only did not respect him, but hated him because of this disaster.

If it wasn't for the huge background behind Fisher, I'm afraid he would have been besieged by angry crowd during the five days of wandering at sea.

Thinking of this, Fisher secretly groaned, but he had to put on a calm appearance, occupied an open space with everyone, and began to repair silently.

"John, you go to collect dry firewood nearby, Joseph, you go to collect fungi and wild fruits, remember not to leave too far away, the rest of the people will clean up this open space, be careful that there are poisonous insects in the soil..."

While issuing orders, Fisher looked around in all directions. The area on the top of the mountain was about a circular open space with a diameter of about 100 meters. Although it was actually not that big, it was enough for everyone to trim it just by looking at it visually. .

The most conspicuous thing in the whole open space is the minaret at the center of the circle.

At this time, several people were gathering in front of the metal minaret, as if they were observing the details of the minaret.

For some reason, when Fisher was observing the minaret, he felt as if someone was watching him. The minaret was full of evil in both its shape and the patterns on it.

Just as Fisher was secretly vigilant, several mercenaries who had arrived earlier looked at each other, as if they had reached a tacit agreement, they began to walk towards this side.

Fisher subconsciously stood up, blocked the two blond women with his subordinates, and said at the same time, "I know what you are thinking, obviously Blackwatch Company has gone beyond common sense, and I fell too. We can be said to share weal and woe now. , Even if you kill me, it’s meaningless.”

Fisher spread his hands, and before everyone walked in, he said, "Also, even if you kill me to vent your anger, if you go out alive in the future, you will be hunted down by major financial groups. After all, we are not the only ones behind the white embers." Benheimer and a consortium..."

Hearing this, everyone's footsteps stopped suddenly.

Indeed, there were not only a few of them present, even if they killed Fisher now, they would be seen by everyone.

Thinking of this, one of the mercenaries, a small black man, spat on the ground and said disdainfully, "I really hope you die here."

Then he turned and left.

The remaining few people looked at each other, and seemed to be a little hesitant.

"If I can get out alive, you people who help me, I can give each of you three million dollars. Even if you die, I can give it to your family."

Fisher continued to speak calmly, "I hope you can go out for a walk on this condition, and don't worry that I won't find your relatives. After all, your details are all in the records of our Oppenheimer family."

Hearing this, the faces of the remaining people also changed slightly, and then two more turned around and left.

Apparently, these people haven't completely blown their minds yet.

There were only three people left, and although two people from Fisher's side went to the jungle to pick supplies, there were still six people staying in the open space.

Seeing this scene, the remaining three had no choice but to leave unwillingly.

Seeing everyone retreating, Fisher secretly let out a breath. Next, he could only take one step at a time. He really didn't know how many times his identity and status could protect him, not to mention there were two troublesome cumbersome ...

As he spoke, Fisher secretly glanced at the two blond women, and a thoughtful look gradually appeared in his eyes.

As the sky gradually dimmed, John and Joseph, who had left before, also returned one after another, and lit the collected materials by drilling wood to make fire. Suddenly, smoke rose from the top of the mountain.

After drying his clothes by the fire and eating the fungi, Fisher looked around again, only to see that the number of people on this mountain top had exceeded one hundred, and from time to time there were people in a state of panic. The new recruits joined in, Fisher immediately seized this opportunity to gather the morale of the army, and used the fire and food to gather five men on his side.

These mercenaries almost all fought alone, and they were very vigilant against each other, which also caused Fisher to once again become the team with the largest number of people on the mountaintop.

So far, Fisher's difficulty has been temporarily overcome. At this time, he was certain in his heart and ordered everyone to burn the fallen leaves on the ground. After burning away the rotten fallen leaves and damp water vapor here, everyone can live more peacefully at night. Prevent the harassment of poisonous insects.

Not only that, he also asked everyone to find stones, grind them into primary stone tools, and then use these stone tools to dig grooves and covers on the wood blocks to create water storage containers.

Only the river halfway up the mountain has fresh water sources on the entire island, and there is no water source on the top of the mountain. Therefore, if there is no water storage container, everyone will have no ability to replenish.

As for Fisher's orders, not only his subordinates were executing them, but other people followed suit after seeing them, and the entire mountain top became lively.

When the crowd on the top of the mountain was full of enthusiasm, Fisher finally got some free time, and he walked up to the steeple alone, and looked up in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Under the setting sun, the entire minaret seemed to be dyed a special blood-red color. Fisher walked up to him, touched the patterns on it, and then tapped lightly. Suddenly, the entire minaret made a low humming sound. .

This minaret turned out to be solid metal?

"Is it iron, or is it aluminum? Or is it lead..."

Fisher picked up a stone and scratched it directly, only to find that the steeple was extremely hard, and the sharp point of the stone could not leave a trace of trace on it.

Just when Fisher was trying to identify what kind of metal it was, he didn't know if it was an illusion, he suddenly felt a red light flashing in front of his eyes, and the red color overflowed the pattern on the steeple, but when Fisher wanted to confirm , but nothing left.

"Is it an illusion caused by the sunset? Or..."

Fisher looked a little confused, and the feeling of being watched became even stronger.

At this moment, a deep roar suddenly came out from the dark jungle, and at the same time, a shrill scream followed, and everyone looked towards the darkness, with palpitations about the unknown in their eyes.

Obviously, someone encountered those monsters like 'tyrants' again...
