Chapter 65
In the army stationed on the island.

Commander's Office.

The inspector stood in front of the window, looking at the darkness outside the window. At this moment, he felt that the impenetrable darkness was like a prison, trying to lock everyone on the island.

Uncleaned blood was stained on his black tunic.

Pollution has spread among the soldiers, and the damage done, and the consequences, are getting worse.

After going through turmoil, coupled with the spread of pollution and the rumors that the superiors will abandon the lower-level soldiers, many soldiers are in a state of high pressure, and some even have hysteria.

Under multiple pressures, everyone is in danger.

Even if many soldiers have not mutated, they will be excluded if they just show fatigue, illness and other discomforts, and they may even be killed.

"It will take two more days for the cargo ship to reach the shore." The commander sitting on the chair broke the silence.

"But we know that it is very likely that we won't come." The inspector's answer was very calm. He didn't look back, as if he was talking to the darkness outside the window.

"Renovation of the Stewart will take two days at the fastest." Facing the only escape ship, the commander's tone is not full of confidence. Too many things may happen in two days. If it is not for his prestige, coupled with the strong suppression of the inspectors, it is very likely that some soldiers have already destroyed the Stewart under renovation with the idea of ​​"since I can't leave, then no one wants to leave".

The inspector did not answer.

"I hope these two days will be safe." The commander suddenly thought of the time when he just heard the warning words. Now, he has completely lost his thoughts at that time. The pollution is more serious than he imagined. At the same time, he also thought of Sauer. After all, it was Sauer who relayed the warning of the psychic stone scholar.

"I don't know how Saul is doing now?" the commander asked.

"I've already sent someone to help, I hope he's okay." The inspector turned his head, and then he thought of something, and corrected him: "No, he will be fine."

……

Next to the dense forest near the cliff.

"Help, help..." A soft cry sounded in the dense forest.

The soldiers who came to rescue came after hearing the news. The soldiers pushed aside the branches and saw a short and fat man wearing a tall hat sitting on the ground. The man's body was covered with blood.

"You are...Bill?" A soldier recognized the person in front of him, but he saw that the soldier beside him did not recognize him, so he reminded, "Don't remember? The manager who sent and received the spirit lamp."

"Yes, yes." Bill nodded quickly.

The rest of the soldiers suddenly realized.

"My lords, my hat is missing, can you find it for me? It's nearby." Bill said shyly.

The soldier looked at the tall hat on Bill's head and replied casually, "Isn't your hat right on your head? Touch it with your hand."

There was a shocked expression on Bill's face, and then he kept stroking his hands up the top hat, "No, my hat is not on my head."

The soldiers looked at each other, and then, one of the soldiers came up directly, stretched out his right hand, grabbed Bill's hat, and held it in his hand. Then, he put the hat in front of Bill's eyes and said, "Here—" Before he could finish speaking, his eyes were attracted by the gold under the hat, and he froze in place.

This was not the only soldier who was affected, several other soldiers were also affected by the same effect, and they were all attracted by gold at this time.

The miner who was ambushing at the side took the opportunity to run out, stabbing the guard's fragile neck with his sword.

"Good job." Regis praised.

Bill lightly patted the dust off the top hat and put it on again, "There are still some people in the way who must be dealt with quickly." His expression was rarely very serious, which was rarely seen on his face.

Suddenly, there was movement not far away, it seemed that someone was running in the forest, and then a loud shout spread in the forest, "Here, they are all here."

Bill turned pale when he heard it.

All the miners also stayed where they were, only Regis rushed towards the direction of the sound.

It turned out that Bill's strategy was also negligent. Just now, not everyone was attracted by him.

"Let's follow." Bill said, and ran forward immediately. However, after he ran a few steps, he felt the world spinning upside down, as if the whole world had turned upside down. For some reason, his head fell to the ground while running, and rolled several times in the woods. He didn't even fall off his top hat. However, his body didn't seem to accept the result, and he was still running forward until he fell to the ground.

Blood, adding a dash of vibrant color to the surrounding trees.

The miner was stunned by the scene in front of him and froze in place.

Soon, they noticed a man standing next to Bill. This man was the prey they had been rounding up - Sauer.

Saul happened to be standing at the edge of the light source. Half of his body was inside the light source, while the other half still belonged to the dark jungle. He took back the sharp saber and placed it in front of him. Then, he turned his head and looked coldly at the remaining miners. His eyes were calm, as if he was looking at a dead person.

Seeing this, the miner subconsciously took a step back.

After that, Saul didn't stop any longer, and went back into the dense forest.

With continuous practice, his movements became more and more proficient, and the angle of swinging the sword became more and more precise. For example, the sword he cut at Bill just now was the result of continuous practice.

The scene that happened just now made the miners think that they were hallucinating. For some reason, they thought of the date of their own death. At this moment, they had a thought in their minds. If they continued to entangle, they would definitely die here.

Gold does not seem to be that important. In the minds of miners, between profit and life, fear has regained the upper hand.

And Regis happened to be away.

These miners looked at each other, as if they were exchanging information, and then, whoever turned around and took a step, the miners reached a consensus in an instant, no longer following Regis' footsteps to chase down the soldier who might leak the secret, but ran deep into the dense forest, towards the edge of the cliff, they knew that there was still a road leading to the mine, and although it was dangerous, the possibility of surviving might be greater.

However, everything may not go as they wish.

The shadow that terrifies them is gradually approaching them from an invisible place.

The slowest miner fell to the ground. He didn't know where the guy named Saul appeared from, but he knew the answer very well. That was why he was the one who died first, because he was the slowest...
