Infinite Survival: The winner takes all!

"What are the two beautiful ladies talking about? A woman's sixth sense?" Buckley joked with a smile, obviously not taking their words seriously.

Anna didn't pay much attention to Buckley's teasing, but Claire was a little unhappy because she knew very well that she was not beautiful, so Buckley's compliments were more like sarcasm to her.

"Dead silence." Li Ming, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said.

When everyone else heard this, they were a little confused. Only Anna and Claire's expressions changed slightly.

Li Ming ignored everyone's reaction and continued: "In this forest, at least where we walked, we can't see any traces of animal life, not in the sky, not on the ground, not in the water, no hair, no excrement, Nothing to be found."

He Rong touched his chin and said, "But that doesn't mean anything. After all, we only explored a small area, so it's normal that we didn't find any animals."

"But what if you can't even find a bug? Do you still think it's normal?" Li Ming asked back. He did not wait for the other party's reply and continued: "This is a tropical forest, a place with the richest species, but I observe those The flowers, plants and leaves are all intact, and there are no signs of being eaten by insects. No matter how you look at it, it is extremely abnormal."

As soon as these words came out, several people subconsciously looked at the grass at their feet and the trees nearby, observing carefully.

"Little man, no wonder you were observing the flowers and plants around you along the way. I thought you were short-sighted." Cecily turned her head with interest and blew out a smoke ring.

Li Ming frowned slightly, stood up and changed his position. He didn't like the smell of smoke, let alone second-hand smoke.

Cecily had a playful smile on her face, seeming to enjoy teasing the boy.

"It's weird, I really can't find any bugs." Buckley dug out a large piece of soil with a construction shovel and muttered as he fiddled with the mound.

Others also carefully checked the surrounding trees and grass. As Li Ming said, not even an ant could be found.

At this time, many people felt chills running down their spines. There were no large animals in the tropical forest, which was somewhat manageable, but there was no way to explain why even an insect could not be found.

This feeling of knowing that you are in danger but not knowing where the danger comes from makes people involuntarily fearful.

"Li Ming, your observation skills are very keen." John praised him without hesitation, and then asked: "Have you discovered anything else?"

Others also turned their attention to this boy who was a bit inconspicuous but attentive.

Li Ming shook his head, "I'm just telling everyone about the abnormalities I noticed. As for the rest, I know nothing about it."

He Rong looked a little uneasy. He looked around at the deathly silent environment, feeling more and more eerie and terrifying. He couldn't help but said: "John, maybe we should leave as soon as possible. It's obvious that this is not a peaceful place, but a veritable death penalty area."

Originally he was not in favor of venturing out, but now he had to slap himself in the face.

"I just said that we should go out for a walk and find out what's going on on the island. Passively waiting for danger to happen will not lead to good results." Cecily waved the giant ax in her hand. Unlike most people, there was no trace of emotion on her face. How much panic.

Jiang Lili opened her mouth, and finally sighed slightly without saying anything.

"What are the opinions of the rest of you? Are there any objections to leaving here?" John did not make the decision alone. His sharp eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one.

Everyone looked at each other and remained silent, which was regarded as acquiescence.

"Okay, let's leave now." John was very decisive. He took out his pistol again and waved to everyone to follow.

The team of 12 people re-entered the forest and carefully moved through the forest.

The dense canopy of foliage blocks most of the raindrops, making the dim forest even more silent.

At this time, no one spoke. They were all watching everything around them vigilantly, ready to respond to possible dangers.

This time, everyone did not circle the forest around the pool, but chose a direction with slightly sparse vegetation.

The island does not seem very big, but the terrain is very high and very steep.

Not long after, they arrived at the edge of the island, with smooth and exposed brown rocks at their feet, a cliff over 200 meters high in front of them, and the endless sea beyond.

The turbulent and violent waves, one after another, were violently lapping at the cliff, and the rumbling sound made everyone's faces turn pale.

Everyone didn't stay here any longer, so they changed directions and continued moving forward.

But as time went by, everyone's expressions became more and more solemn.

Now they have explored most of the island, but there is no living thing on the island except flowers, plants and trees.

More than two hours later, the team sat in front of a waterfall to rest. The sound of rushing water relieved everyone's suppressed emotions a little.

The scenery here is quite spectacular. Deep mountains, quiet rivers, and rapid waterfalls form a perfect landscape picture.

But no one was in the mood to appreciate it.

"Damn it, what the hell is this place? I can't even find a ghost." Buckley took out a large piece of cooked beef and took a big bite, as if to vent his frustration.

Others also took out their own food and replenished energy on the spot. After walking for several hours, their bodies were fine, but their tense spirits were a bit unbearable.

"Looking on the bright side, we haven't encountered any danger. Isn't that enough?" Cecily held a large can and scooped out a piece of luncheon meat with a spoon from time to time and put it into her mouth, saying as she ate.

Anna took a small bite of the biscuit in her hand, glanced at John, and said, "Maybe Xue Jin's guess is right. The danger comes from the night."

"But that doesn't explain why no animals survive on this island. Even radiation can't kill all the insects, right." Xue Jin blinked, his expression still confused.

He Rong rubbed his cheeks with both hands and frowned: "Since you can't find the answer, don't look for it. The danger we face now is the dark night, and we need to be prepared in advance."

"In this case, we can't run around and find a place to camp first." Jiang Lili suggested.

Claire looked at the protruding rocks around and said, "This place is not suitable for camping. It's too rugged."

"Then go back. The starting point is a good place. The terrain is flat and open, the view is very good, and it is not easy to be attacked by sneak attacks." Xue Jin suggested in a low voice.

The others also nodded slightly when they heard this. Along the way, there was indeed no place more suitable for camping than the grassland around the waterhole.

"John, what do you think?" Anna turned her head.

John threw away the empty can and bottle in his hand and wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue. "I have no objection. Now is really not the time to look for answers. We need to go back to camp as soon as possible."

Everyone quickly unified their opinions and prepared to return to the starting point.

When we went back, John was still leading the team, but the speed was much faster than when we came.

Perhaps because they accepted the idea of ​​being safe during the day, everyone felt more relaxed, and some even cracked jokes.

In just over half an hour, everyone returned to the grassland.

Nothing has changed here from when I left, everything is normal, at least on the surface.
