Bu Tian Gang

Anna waited outside the door for a while before finally waiting for the door to open.

"Anton, what are you doing inside? Why did it take so long to open the door?"

The Russian team has a total of seven people, five of which are from the mysterious agency under the Security Bureau, which is somewhat similar to the Special Administration Bureau where they are located on the Winter Solstice-this kind of agency is often unknown to outsiders, but they do exist. The other two, including Anton, were selected through private recruitment.

But Anna and the others didn't like Anton very much, not only because he was often taciturn and invisible, but also because he seemed out of place in the team.

Hearing Anna's complaint, An Dong blinked his eyes slowly, showing an almost honest smile, and said embarrassedly, "I may have dozed off just now."

"Come out, it's dinner time!"

Anna didn't say more, left a word, turned around and left.

Naturally, she didn't notice that Anton's smile became weird at some point, the corners of his mouth seemed to rise slightly, and he seemed to turn downwards.

When the passenger ship finally arrived at its destination in the vast sea, many people were refreshed because they were down-to-earth, and even a little tiredness from the journey could be ignored, but from this moment on, it also meant that the harmony between the teams disappeared without a trace. , they become an out-and-out rivalry.

Although under normal circumstances, there will be no malicious killings, but Winter Solstice knows that in this archipelago, there is no supervision and coercion by external forces. Even if there is a man-made accident, the murderer can easily escape afterwards. That is why Grace has been chasing the Winter Solstice. The reason they didn't let it go was because she insisted that the Chinese killed her sister on purpose, but the circumstances and conditions at the time had no evidence to prove it at all. In the end, she had no choice but to let it go, so she chose to go through her own way. come for revenge.

This logic is correct, but unfortunately the wrong object was chosen. The Winter Solstice has no interest in harming others, but no one is allowed to plot against their companions.

According to the pre-calculated longitude and latitude, the organizing committee will put down the people one by one at the designated position, and let them take the speedboat to the island, the passenger ship will drive forward for a while, and then put down the other team and let them take the speedboat to land.

In this way, even if the two teams draw on the same island, the two sides have different footholds, which is equivalent to different directions of the island, and it is difficult to meet at the beginning.

The organizer also provided everyone with a watch with a countdown of twenty days. The time starts from now, and twenty days later, the game ends.

Before parting, William found the winter solstice privately and gave him a mobile phone. There was no signal on the island, and the phone information could not be made at all, which was equivalent to being isolated from the world. The exception was the mobile phone that William gave. Although it was still impossible to communicate with the outside world, You can get in touch with the other one in William's hands.

"I believe that the Japanese will not be your opponents, so if there is no golden apple on the island you are on, let us know so we don't have to go up and search again. Instead, it's on my side. The situation, I will tell you." William said.

The Winter Solstice asked, "What if you find the golden apple first? Will you tell us?"

The rules of the game stipulate that when one team gets a key item, the other teams are not allowed to **** it unless they encounter unpredictable danger. But the Winter Solstice is very doubtful about whether this rule can be effectively implemented. You must know that once you arrive on the island, it is equivalent to losing the power of supervision. Even if you steal it or even kill it, as long as no trace is left after the incident, no one will notice it.

William smiled and said, "Yes, why not? When we leave the island by boat, we will definitely tell you that we will not let you continue to sweat!"

Winter Solstice's face doesn't matter: "Then so do I."

William: "Don't be like this, Dong, I tried my best to get these two mobile phones, they are very useful, first of all, they can eliminate islands without golden apples, save us a lot of time, and avoid letting other teams take the lead, I believe we Will be the two strongest teams of all, right? Also, trust is mutual, I swear I won't lie to you, but everyone wants the golden apple, the big deal is that if we get the golden apple, we'll take it. I'll leave you the silver coins and let you sit second, how about it?"

Winter Solstice thought for a while: "Okay, deal."

William thought to himself, Dong definitely wanted to take the first place, but it was useless. Anyone who wanted to break their head would not know where the golden apple was. The first place in this session was destined to be theirs.

During the winter solstice, I thought to myself, who wants to be second, you will be second, and you will all be second in the next session.

The two shook hands, indicating that the alliance had been reached, and both showed tacit smiles.

There are four large islands in the Senluo Archipelago, and there are a few other small islands and reefs that can be seen at a glance. They are not included in the competition content. Lisa clearly told them that the competition content is only held on the four large islands.

The island where they landed on the winter solstice is called Diana Island. Diana is the goddess of the moon in Roman mythology, but she also has a lesser-known priesthood. Diana also serves as the goddess of the forest, so the island lives up to its name. , full of tall and straight trees, plus the white fog around and on the canopy, is enough to become the background of a horror thriller.

The six people on the Winter Solstice did not feel afraid, but they must be cautious, because they found that the island is bigger than they thought, and there is a large forest not far away, which is easy to hide and ambush, and any accident may happen inside.

Liu Qingbo looked up. He wanted to see when it was getting dark, but instead of clouds and the sun, he saw a vast white fog.

"Damn, this fog doesn't want money, you can't even see where the sun is!"

The winter solstice looked at his watch: "The sky should be getting dark soon, and the light is a little darker than when we were on the boat. No matter what creatures, they like to attack the enemy in the dark night. This island is definitely not as calm as it looks on the surface. Let's find a relative Settling down in a safe place to get through tonight and make plans for tomorrow along the way."

Liu Sidao: "I'll go and ask."

After speaking, he walked towards the trees, Zhang Song was inexplicable: "What are you going to ask?"

Liu Si turned back and smiled: "You forgot my original shape?"

It was only then that Zhang Song remembered that Liu Si's original shape was a willow tree, and it was of course much more convenient than them to communicate with trees.

Yang Shouyi and Li Han'er didn't think that Liu Si was actually not human, but they didn't ask much about this kind of thing, they both chose to be wise and silent, but their faces also showed joy.

Liu Si walked over, put one hand on the tree trunk, stood still for a moment, and then walked back.

"These trees are a bit strange." When he came back, his expression was a little confused. "They live a long time, but they can communicate very little information. I tried a few trees, and they only know that the edge of the wood is safe, but it will be dangerous to walk in. As for the danger, they can't tell. , can only convey a vague message."

Having said that, Liu Si paused, "I read from this information, endless death."

Everyone was silent for a while.

It is the winter solstice that speaks first: "Then let's spend the night outside the forest first."

The tools for burning fire and drinking water are readily available. The cultivators of the Winter Solstice have naturally not reached the realm of fasting, but they eat less than ordinary people and have longer endurance. Li Haner took out the compressed biscuits and divided them. Everyone After eating two pieces, I was full. I started a fire and sat around the fire, but I didn't feel cold.

Liu Qingbo frowned and said, "Strange, this is a sports venue, or some research base of Group 51. Even if it is dangerous, it can't be linked to endless deaths. What the **** is the organizing committee doing?"

Li Han'er said softly: "Maybe it's not that they are playing tricks, but that something uncontrollable did happen.

Across the thick fog, the sky really darkened gradually, and the speed seemed to be faster than outside. After a while, the sky was completely dark.

With the bonfire as the center, the fire is blazing within a radius of three to five meters, but beyond this range, the world is dark, the woods and fog, the sea and the island seem to be completely integrated, and unpredictable dangers quietly breed from the darkness, as if at any time. It is possible to jump out and devour all life.

The aspirations of the six people on the Winter Solstice are much stronger than those of ordinary people, but in such an atmosphere, only by seeing the faces of their companions and the flaming bonfire can they feel the breath of being in the world, rather than being surrounded by this overwhelming dense atmosphere. swallowed by fog.

Sitting idle with nothing to do, Yang Shouyi pondered the riddle that Lisa said before leaving, about the whereabouts of the props.

"The beauty shrouded in clouds will eventually take off her mysterious veil... Isn't Diana a goddess, does the riddle refer to our island now?"

Li Haner shook his head: "I don't think it's that simple. Maybe the beauty refers to something more specific, such as a mountain that looks like a beauty, or a specific place. If the meaning of the riddle is so broad and general, then we must search for this Every corner of the island, this possibility feels unlikely."

The winter solstice asked Liu Si, "What do you think, Lao Liu?"

Liu Si didn't say much, but what he said was generally quite valuable.

Liu Si thought about it for a while, and then said, "Could the riddle just deliberately confuse us and mislead us?"

Zhang Song frowned and said, "But this is against the rules, right? The organizing committee deliberately spreads false information. Is there such a precedent?"

Liu Qingbo said: "Have you not read the information distributed before the competition? Of course you have! Last time in the Valley of the Kings, the organizing committee announced five clues, but it was finally confirmed that three of them were fake. Many people Mistaken the fake clues as real clues, and was misled at the beginning, and one of the teams was killed and injured four. I really doubt what you were doing when you read the data? "

His tone was particularly flat, and Zhang Song's hands were itchy when he heard it, and he couldn't help but want to stage a wonderful scene of beating the deputy head.

Before rushing to the infighting, the Winter Solstice forcibly changed the subject: "Anyway, we are here anyway, and we will definitely go into the woods to investigate tomorrow. Tonight, I will keep my spirits high. Lao Liu, Xiao Zhang will be tomorrow—"

Zhang Song rolled his eyes and changed his words in time for the Winter Solstice: "Old Zhang and Lao Liu are on duty."

Yang Shouyi took the initiative and said, "I'll come tonight. I'm still in good spirits and I'm not tired. You will definitely be exhausted during the winter solstice tomorrow, so don't watch the night tonight."

Li Han'er also said: "Then let me come in the middle of the night, others can talk about it tomorrow."

On another Rose Island, Anton, a Russian, was walking in a valley with his companions.

Rose Island means rose island, and the name is very romantic, but in fact, not only does the island have no roses, but it is full of mountains and valleys that are open and close together. Even if the height of these mountains is not enough to see outside, but here On the island, they are the silent inhabitants that give the contestants headaches.

The Russians went to the same island as the British and southern Europeans, but the three parties landed at different landing points, and the island is very large. At present, they have not had a chance to meet.

In fact, Anton didn't want to come to participate. His profession is called a psychic in Russia, but Anton's career is purely for the sake of eating, and there is no ideal to explore the unknown field and advance to a higher realm. Enrolling this time is also because of the generous bonus.

After sailing from the ship into the fog, he felt dizzy and groggy, sometimes speaking and doing things as if they were not of his own will, and even his memory became less clear.

But as a psychic, his physique is far more sensitive than others, and he can easily perceive the magnetic field fluctuations that others cannot detect, and Anton senses the breath of death in the fog, which is more than he has ever experienced before. It was many times thicker, and surrounded by overwhelming force from all sides, he was so frightened that he could not wait to turn around and run. Before disembarking, he even told the captain that he was unwell and hoped to quit the game and return to the same path.

The answer is of course no, he has come, how could he be allowed to give up halfway, the head of the regiment Alexander gave him a hard lesson and told him not to affect the emotions of others. As he headed deeper into the island, the fear in his heart became stronger and stronger. As a psychic, such a hunch was very abnormal.

"Captain, let's not go any further!" he couldn't help shouting.

"What do you want to say!" Alexander was very impatient. "I warn you, we are here to compete, and there are inherent dangers here. Since you chose to sign up in the first place, you should have expected this!"

Others laughed too.

"Come on, Anton, your mouth hasn't stopped since just now, and you've been complaining. Are you really a psychic, and how did you pass the screening?"

"Look at this coward, are you an ordinary person?"

Anton roared: "Enough! I regret it now, can't I, I want to leave, I don't want to stay in this ghost place!"

Alexander suddenly stopped, turned around suddenly, grabbed Anton's collar and slammed it on the mountain wall.

"You don't understand my warning, do you? No one can leave until the game is over! You can either stay well and do things honestly, or just leave by yourself. If you want to die, no one will stop you!"

Alexander felt that this kind of competition should not have recruited cultivators from the common people to participate in the competition. Looking at their quality, they have no team spirit at all. What kind of golden apples can they expect?

Anton collapsed and shouted: "But I smell the breath of death! It's all death! We'll all die here—"

The voice stopped abruptly, Anna pinched the back of his neck, rolled his eyes and fell softly to the ground.

Anna calmly said: "His mood is not right, let's take a rest, it's getting dark anyway, let's see if Anton wakes up better."

There happened to be a cave next to it, which could ward off the cold and shelter from the rain. Anna proposed to spend the night in it, and everyone else agreed.

Alexander took the initiative to explore the cave and found that the cave was not very deep, and there were no messy animals such as bats. It was dry and clean, and it seemed like a natural habitat for passersby.

Everyone was lighting a fire in the cave, looking at Anton who was lying on the side in a coma, and inevitably picked up the topic of mocking him again.

Another practitioner who was also selected from the public also felt very ashamed. Everyone was wondering when they could find the golden apple. Only Anton kept dragging his feet, so he proposed, or wait for Anton to wake up. Take him to the beach and let him leave first by speedboat.

"No!" Anna rejected his proposal, "You forgot the rules you said before, if someone leaves first during the game, the whole team will be abstained. Not only can we leave Anton behind, we have to look at him. It's tight, lest he find a chance to escape, then we'll waste this trip in vain!"

Alexander casually threw the lighter on the ground, "This **** ruined all our plans!"

Anna said: "When he wakes up, I'll have a good talk with him. As long as he doesn't do anything bad, he can do whatever he wants."

It seemed that this was the only way to go. Alexander couldn't help but glared at Anton again, and began to arrange for his partners to take turns and rest.

It was Anna's turn to be on duty in the second half of the night. When she woke up, the fog in the sky was blown away a little by the wind, just revealing the crescent moon. The bright and bright moonlight spread down, and the whole island seemed extraordinarily peaceful. Compared with competitive competitions, More like a great place for a date.

She even wondered if there were any so-called obstacles on the island, but if not, where would they go to find the golden apples, and would they just dig every suspicious piece of land they saw?

The bonfire was still burning, but it was much smaller. Several people were sleeping crookedly everywhere, but there was no Anton.

Anna was startled and quickly walked outside. She was relieved when she saw An Dong sitting outside with a night watchman beside her.

"Hey, Lev, go to bed, here I am!" she greeted her companions at the vigil.

The companion got up and patted her, yawned, and walked into the cave.

During this process, Anton has been sitting silently, not saying a word.

Anna sat down beside him.

"Anton, I don't seem to have asked you, where are you from?"

"...A village in Siberia, you haven't heard of it." Anton said weakly.

Anna tried to soften her voice: "Listen to me, Anton, if you go back now, it means that we have failed completely before the game starts. This is a cowardly act, and even if you go back, your reputation will be ruined. Now, everyone will know that you are a coward running away, no one will believe you anymore, and your life and career will be greatly affected."

"That's better than losing your life." Anton murmured, "If you stay here, not only me, not only you, but everyone will die here!"

Anna said solemnly, "What did you see? Say it!"

Anton said in confusion: "I can't tell, but I can feel that the scythe of the **** of death is hanging over your head."

This kind of magic stick-like words are used to fool ordinary people. As a cultivator, Anna got angry and couldn't help but want to say something to reprimand him.

But at this moment, a scream suddenly came from the cave!

Without thinking about it, Anna turned and ran towards the cave.

Lev, who was leaning against the stone wall and immersed in his sleep, was the one who had just changed shifts with Anna. Suddenly, his neck was tightly pinched by the claws protruding from the stone. He rolled his eyes, unable to break free no matter what, his sharp claws. Pierced into his neck, blood splattered instantly, Lev subconsciously wanted to scream, but the next moment, his trachea was cut off, and the last sound in his life disappeared without a trace.

Everyone was awakened, and Alexander, the leader, immediately drew his gun and fired four or five shots at the unknown creatures that attacked them within two seconds. They flapped their wings and attacked all humans more frantically, and the entire cave was filled with a strong **** smell for a while.

Although the Russians are at odds with the Americans, there are always many coincidences in their research fields. For example, the bullets used by Alexander are specially made materials, which can not only kill people, but also have special effects on alien beasts or demons. Lethality, this is the finished product after many trials, but these unknown creatures are really too big. They not only have limbs similar to humans, but also have a pair of huge wings on their backs. The ends of the limbs are not the normal five fingers of human beings, but the existence of eagle claws. The monster is covered with long hair, covering its face, only revealing the faint green eyes, which is extremely scary in the dark.

The cultivators, whose movements and reactions are far more agile than ordinary people, are flying over the eaves and walls in the cave, but these monsters are even faster than them. In just ten minutes, there are many more wounds on each of them.

"God, what the **** are these, what kind of monsters are the **** Americans putting on this!" During the fight, someone uttered a curse that was almost groaning.

"Escape! Escape!" Alexander roared, throwing the gun that was out of bullets, pulling out the Japanese samurai sword behind him, and slashing at the rushing monster!

The monster wailed, and most of its wings were cut off by him, but Alexander's mouth went numb from the shock.

At this time, several of his companions had already fled out one after another.

Everyone hasn't found out yet. In this chaos, Anton has disappeared.

At this time of the winter solstice, they were taking a break in the long night.

Winter nights are freezing cold and the wind blows through the forest, bringing not only the rustling branches and leaves, but also a shivering chill.

On the winter solstice, they brought sleeping bags with them, found a relatively clean place, kept the bonfire for a lifetime, covered it with rugs, and drilled into the sleeping bags, which made it much warmer.

Yang Shouyi was in charge of the first half of the night, and Li Han'er was in charge of the second half of the night. Seeing that the time had passed the agreed two o'clock, Yang Shouyi felt that he was not sleepy, so he could let his companions sleep for a while, so he did not wake up Li Haner.

Although he really didn't understand why Winter Solstice became the regiment commander at first, since he went out, Yang Shouyi also knew why the superiors appointed Dongzhi as the regiment commander. In their team, in terms of combat ability, all of them are not weak, but Going out of the country, you can't convince people just by fighting. When you first arrived at the hotel, you were teased, and then you fought with the French. When the Winter Solstice and Liu Qingbo were there, they always didn't suffer, but they made their opponents half to death.

Winter Solstice uses his own unique humorous way to reconcile everyone in a strange environment. Facing the estrangement and discomfort between unfamiliar cultures and people, he slowly gathers several arrogant people together, and slowly convinces everyone. , This is indeed quite remarkable, Yang Shou asked himself, and he really couldn't do it himself.

Looking at the six of them, even the young practitioners, almost no one can do it.

After thinking about this, his dissatisfaction with the winter solstice gradually dissipated.

Yang Shouyi could see that Li Han'er and Zhang Song's views also changed similar to his own.
