Chapter 213 - Death Zone (1/2)
Chapter 213 Death Zone
The driver for Qin Haodong was still the bareheaded Xie Zidan, but compared with the previous days, Xie Zidan's attitude had changed significantly. He never spoke to Qin Haodong at all in the past, but now he began to talk with him.
Although he had spent 2 million yuan, he was very grateful to Qin Haodong. Without him, he would have died in the hands of the Devilish Five.
Two Hummers slowly marched on for another day, getting closer and closer to their destination towards evening.
”Are we near our destination?” Hu Xiaoxian asked.
”Let me see.” As Xie Zidan said, he opened the car's electronic map to see how far away they were from the destination they had marked.
”We are indeed approaching the destination. At this rate, tomorrow afternoon we will be there, but the journey ahead will be more and more dangerous.
”The area ahead is called the Death Zone. According to previous investigations, 18 expeditions have been there, but they disappeared completely after entering the Death Zone, even without any trace.”
He was talking, and suddenly the electronic map flickered and turned into a white screen with nothing on it.
”What's the matter? Is there no signal here? Our car is connected to a military satellite signal, and it can't be interrupted.”
Xie Zidan talked and operated the electronic map, but the screen was still blank and there was no response.
Hu Xiaoxian took out her mobile phone and looked at it for a moment and said, ”Our mobile phones are also connected with military satellite, but now there is no signal at all.”
Xie Zidan sighed and said, ”This place is really strange, no wonder those expeditions came in without any information, because there is no signal for any electronic equipment here.”
Qin Haodong said, ”This is normal, otherwise, it would not have been called the death zone.”
Xie Zidan said, ”Doctor Qin, we have to come because we have a task on us. If you have nothing to do, you might as well quit. It's too dangerous here. Besides, you still have a child with you.”
Qin Haodong knew his good intentions and laughed. ”The medicines I want to collect are only in the death zone. If I quit now, all my previous efforts will be wasted.”
As they were talking, the Hummer drove into a small valley, about one square kilometer in area. Unlike the outside, there were no big plants but only green grass here. It was a pleasant moment to enter the valley from the dense forest.
The most amazing thing was that there was a pool in the center of the valley. The pool was not too big, but very limpid. There was also an island of 20 or 30 square meters in the middle of the pool. This structure made people wonder about the magic of the Creator.
At this time, the sun was setting, and there was not much light in the forest, but it was dyed golden by sunset glow. The scenery was very beautiful.
”Papa, it's beautiful here, like the world in fairy tales.” The little fellow jumped happily in Qin Haodong's arms. Staying in the forest for many days really made her feel a little bored.
But after entering here, Qin Haodong frowned and Hu Xiaoxian, who was in a good mood, looked at him and asked, ”What's wrong? Don't you like here?”
”Not that I don't like here, but I have a bad feeling.”
He practiced divination which was indeed a sign of great evil.
Then the Hummer in front stopped and Lei Tianrui and others alighted and began to unload their equipment. It seemed that they were ready to camp near the pool.
Qin Haodong said to Hu Xiaoxian, ”I don't feel very good about this place. Ask them if we can go ahead and camp elsewhere.”
Hu Xiaoxian said, ”Are you tired? I think it's very good here. It's very suitable for camping.”
Qin Haodong said solemnly, ”If you believe me, change the place. I'm not joking at all.”
”Well, I'll go and tell them.”
Hu Xiaoxian admired the magical performance of Qin Haodong along the way. Although she liked the beautiful scenery here very much, she decided to believe in Qin Haodong.
Despite the ominous atmosphere, it could not be denied that the scenery here was really beautiful. Qin Haodong also got out with the little fellow and circled around the pool.
The depth of the pool was 3 or 4 meters, the width was 12 or 13 meters, the pool water was so limpid that the pebbles at the bottom could be seen clearly, and there were some unknown fish swimming around. Maybe these fish had never seen human beings, so they didn't show any fear and swam freely disregarding Qin Haodong and the little fellow.
At this time, Hu Xiaoxian came to Lei Tianrui and said, ”Let's not camp here, go ahead and find a better place to camp.”
Lei Tianrui said, ”Xiaoxian, are you silly? How beautiful the scenery here is! It's a fairyland on earth. Camping here is perfect.”
Hu Xiaoxian said, ”Haodong said that he didn't feel good about this place. It's very likely that there will be a danger. We'd better change the place.”
Hearing that it was Qin Haodong's idea, Lei Tianrui's face suddenly turned cold.
Dong Sihai scornfully said, ”Xiaoxian, you mustn't listen to him. He's just a doctor. He's only good at treating diseases. I'm a jungle expert. No one could equal me in surviving in the wild.”
