Xiao Hao's eyes widened: "What is 'ghost wall'?"

He was so unlucky; he was born in a peaceful era but grew up in the apocalypse, and he hardly ever watched television, radio, or read novels.

Life was monotonous; he was either training or on his way to kill.

Although his older brother and sister provided him with enough food and clothing, neither of them were talkative, and they rarely mentioned strange tales or legends. He lacked too much.

"It's like going around in circles; you can't get out."

Zuo Ling refused to believe in superstition and piloted the submarine, searching everywhere for a way out.

Four hours later, the family of three looked at each other in silence, having already seen the cargo ship three times in a row.

Not only cargo ships, but also Di Fei and Chen Hao were scouting the way in speedboats.

The only good news is that there is a fairly large island about 150 kilometers away.

Within 50 kilometers of the island, the sky is clear and bright; beyond 50 kilometers, a thin fog begins to rise, growing thicker as you move outwards, until everything is completely shrouded in white mist.

They were underwater, initially thinking it was just ordinary fog. After circling around a dozen times, they finally figured out the pattern.

"Let's go up to the island and take a look. If we can get in, we should be able to get out. Maybe we can get out when the fog clears."

Once he was about to set off, Pei Nansheng realized that he did not want to return to China. He lacked the confidence to face the reclusive elders of the Ding family.

The reclusive elder in the Ding family is a legend; very few people have ever seen him.

There was once a family head who disobeyed orders, and it is said that he died a terrible death.

Some say he is over 200 years old, while others go even further, saying he is over 500 years old. His exact age is a matter of much debate.

The term "reclusive elder" is more like a code name.

No one knows how many generations of reclusive elders have changed, or perhaps, they have never changed at all.

He was so mysterious that, over time, no one bothered to investigate his past.

The fear of reclusive elders is passed down orally from generation to generation and is ingrained in their very bones.

Although his sister possessed strong supernatural abilities, Pei Nansheng still lacked confidence in facing off against the reclusive elder.

Unable to find a way out, I felt a secret, small sense of smug satisfaction.

After packing up the submarine, we transferred to a speedboat to go to the island, where the lush greenery was a sight to behold.

The towering trees, dense bushes, the pervasive fragrance of grass and trees, and the chirping of insects and birds all indicate that this is a vibrant island.

Zuo Ling felt uneasy. Why was everything so different here when nothing else existed outside?

Now that we're here, we should at least check out the situation first.

The family was fully equipped with riot vests, slash and stab protection suits, gas masks, bulletproof backpacks, hiking boots, and their trouser legs, sleeves, and collars were all tightly bound. They were sprayed with insect repellent from head to toe, and also had snake repellent powder packets, ice axes, electric batons, and pistols.

Pei Nansheng and Xiao Hao each took a crowbar; they preferred simple and direct weapons.

Zuo Ling walked at the very back, leaving the task of clearing the way to the two brothers, as she genuinely disliked the jungle.

The waterfall and the snowy night were exciting, especially the waterfall. It grew up in the forest, and coming here felt like coming home. It rushed to the front and sniffed around everywhere.

There were no roads on the island, and the vines and creepers made it very difficult to walk. We also had to be careful of snakes, insects, and rodents. After walking for more than half an hour, we hadn't gone very far.

The waterfall suddenly stopped, its long ears perked up, and it looked tense.

Zuo Ling, who was connected to the waterfall, sensed it and her expression changed drastically. She turned and ran back, shouting, "Rat swarm, run!"

She came in slowly but left quickly, running at lightning speed.

Pei Nansheng and Xiao Hao were only a few seconds slower, while Zuo Ling had almost disappeared from sight.

The waterfall roared, "Damn woman, you ran away without even taking Rabbit with you!"

Despite shivering in the snowy night, I still waited for the waterfall to come down, and it quickly jumped onto my back.

A family of five fled in panic.

The rustling in the forest awakened countless species, and the entire island instantly came alive.

The rats, about the size of a waterfall, had smooth, shiny skin and surged forward like a tide, their sharp teeth gleaming with a chilling, bright white.

…………

After going around in circles for three days, Guo Qi, Yang Chengang, and everyone on the boat knew they had encountered a maze.

For a time, all sorts of opinions were expressed.

"Is God trying to trap us here to die?"

"Volcanic eruptions, deep sea abysses, poisonous snakes, white moths, and now we're trapped here. It seems like God is trying to wipe us out completely."

"It's over, it's over, we can't get out, we can't get out, what do we do, what do we do?"

"Can we still go home? Is it even possible to go back? Am I going to die?"

"..."

Pessimism and despair spread rapidly.

After discussing it, Guo Qi, Yang Chengang, and the others decided to go to the island first.

Two days ago, when they were scouting the area, they discovered the island. He Xiao suggested going ashore to replenish water and firewood, but Guo Qi and Yang Chengang ruthlessly refused.

Guo Qi, Yang Chengang, and Zuo Ling all felt that there was something wrong with the island.

The theory is simple: if a large number of people are abnormal, and you are the only one who is normal, then you are the abnormal one.

The series of natural disasters had left everyone physically and mentally exhausted. Guo Qi and Yang Chengang didn't want any more trouble, and even if they had to cut back on spending, they didn't want any more accidents to happen.

Now that we can't leave, and we can't afford to waste resources on the cargo ship, we have no choice but to try our luck on the island.

Upon arriving at the island, they could see from afar that a group of large, fat rats were chasing after Zuo Ling's family.

Ning Qiang became interested and leaned on the railing, waiting with great interest to see what would happen next.

Thud... Thud... Thud...

Pei Nansheng fired a series of fireballs, and most of the rats that charged ahead died instantly.

Those that didn't die burned into little fireballs, screaming in pain and running around frantically.

Those who stumble into the rats' swarm will bring disaster upon their fellow disciples; the stench of burning meat mingles with the aroma of freshly cooked meat.
