Chapter 336 New Map
Everyone came behind Huang Jinghe, followed his raised hand, and looked at the map in his hand. When the four maps were put together, they really formed a combined map.
And this composite map, if they guessed correctly, should be the topographic map of this lush forest.
Because this map is not half-cut, but is designed to circle the mountain. Moreover, the end point of the fourth map that they have not found is actually not its end point at all, but rather the new starting point after the four maps are combined.
Almost no one was excited about finding such a new clue.
But the map cannot be held up like this forever. In an instant, the team members around him started to get busy.
They first found four stones of similar heights, built a simple quadripod, and placed the assembled map on the four corners. Then everyone placed a flashlight under the map to illuminate it, so that even if they looked down, they could see the entire map clearly.
After the map was revealed, Zhou Zhiye, who had the best painting skills in the team, copied the new map. From then on, they embarked on a new journey again.
…
The route indicated in this map is a new route that has never been taken before.
If there are no mutant creatures around all the cabins, then the mutant creatures here can be seen everywhere, which shows how dangerous they are.
Finally, after Pei Xin's voice became hoarse, she asked helplessly, "How long will it take us to reach our destination?"
Captain Zhang glanced at the map and said, "We haven't even reached one-third of the way yet. We'll probably need several more hours to reach our destination."
When you heard there were only a few hours left, Pei Xin collapsed on the spot, "I can't take it anymore, I can't take it anymore, I really can't walk anymore. I didn't rest for long just now, and there are so many mutant creatures here. My legs are so scared that they're weak. I can't walk anymore."
Pei Xin just stood there without moving an inch after he finished speaking.
But none of these people would tolerate her, and besides, she was already a criminal.
But at this time, Xi Yu also said: "Don't blame Pei Xin, I can't walk anymore. We ordinary people don't have as much physical strength as you. It's been such a long time since we walked up from the foot of the mountain, but we didn't rest for a long time. Even if Pei Xin doesn't say it now, I will probably say it later."
Captain Zhang said in embarrassment, "But it's not that I don't want you to rest, but it's so dangerous here, how can you rest?"
Just as Captain Zhang was speaking, another group of mutant creatures attacked them. Those of them who possessed special abilities dealt with these creatures one by one.
But just as the mutant creature was dealt with, vine branches appeared from behind and entangled Pei Xin's waist. Just as Pei Xin was panicking, Lao Shi quickly cut off the vines and rescued her. Otherwise, Pei Xin would have been taken away by now.
Still in shock.
Captain Zhang could only say, "You saw it just now. It's not that I don't want you to rest. Let's get out of here quickly. Otherwise, if something happens again, we won't be so lucky."
Of course, this is not Captain Zhang's fault. The road before was so peaceful, who knew that it was full of dangers here.
Pei Xin sighed, and everyone followed suit and followed Captain Zhang's lead.
Perhaps it was because the further in, the more dangerous it was, or perhaps Captain Zhang was being considerate, but their pace finally slowed down considerably. However, this wasn't enough to alleviate the physical exhaustion of the ordinary people.
That is, the three-person group of professors.
After holding on for about 10 minutes, Pei Xin fainted and fell to the ground.
Zhou Zhiye, the only one in the team who knew medicine, immediately came to Pei Xin and examined her.
The result of the examination was, "Physically exhausted."
Hearing this result, everyone's faces turned grim. Although Pei Xin was guilty, they could not abandon their teammates.
Zhou Zhiye said, "I'll carry her, but I'm also very tired. We still need to find a place to rest."
Unexpectedly, before they had taken two steps, the other two members of the professor group in the team fainted one after another.
Finally, Lao Gao had no choice but to carry one on each shoulder. After lifting them both onto his shoulders, he urged them, "Hurry up, hurry up, don't waste time here, let's get out of here quickly. Those mutant creatures are making my skin numb. I don't want to see them again."
However, whatever this crow says will come true.
And the person who came over was an 'old acquaintance' they had met before.
That was the big talking black cat they met when they first entered Maolin and were going down the mountain.
The reason why it is described as a 'human' is entirely because of that face that can speak.
When Lan Jin thought of the previous scene, he never wanted to experience it again, so when the big cat came over, Lan Jin struck it with a bolt of lightning without saying a word.
The big cat didn't say anything before it twitched and fell to the ground, and the talking human face happened to be falling in the direction of the ground.
Lan Jin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I really don't want to hear it talking. What a mess it is. It's so scary."
Zhou Zhi also coughed, signaling the confused team members to come back to their senses. Then Captain Zhang said, "Don't talk about it, I don't really want to listen to him. I don't know what this half-human, half-beast thing is. Let's get out of here quickly."
The big cat was huge in size, and when it fell down, it blocked the middle of the already narrow road. Captain Zhang led his team members around in a small circle and continued to move forward.
It was as if nothing had happened just now.
During this time, Captain Zhang kept studying the map. Finally, after everyone calmed down, he said, "It seems we've already walked 1/3 of the way here."
However, the reality was that it took them three hours to walk just one-third of the way. Shen Zhiyan asked, "Is this dense forest really that big? It took three hours to walk one-third of the way, so the whole journey would take nine hours, right? Are you sure we won't reach the bottom of the mountain after nine hours?"
"No, not to mention whether this forest is that big, we are not walking in a straight line at all, and the time wasted during this period is entirely caused by those mutant creatures."
If you put it that way, it does seem to be the case.
Captain Zhang stayed there for a while, made some simple observations, and then took a pen to make marks on the map.
