Chapter 1494 Altitude line, shake off, behemoth

Led by Su Mingzhe, a group of people braved the night and shuttled through the dense forest.

Because it rained for several days in a row, the mountains were muddy.

The further they walked, the more strenuous it felt.

Just as everyone was hurrying along with a huff and puff, Rachel saw Su Mingzhe standing by the roadside, counting the number of people, and couldn't help asking:

"Xiao Su, why do I feel like you're leading us up?"

"Yes, we are climbing up!"

Su Mingzhe knew that women were troublesome creatures, so he didn't waste any more words and directly told the reason:

"Our new residence is on the other side of the island. If we want to get there quickly, we need to cross the entire island along the ridge..."

"The other side of the island?"

In fact, everyone had already heard Su Mingzhe say it once, but no one took it seriously. Now when they heard it again, a woman asked:
"Xiao Su, how big is this island?"

"How big is this island..."

Su Mingzhe didn't want to talk about this topic, but someone asked it, and if he didn't answer it, it would cause panic among everyone, so he thought for a moment and said:
"I estimate that it is at least thirty miles wide from east to west, and about forty miles long from north to south! Our original location was in the northwest corner, and now we need to go to the southeast corner."

After hearing this, Li Lin did some calculations in his mind and suddenly felt a little confused:
"It's thirty miles wide and forty miles long, from the northwest corner to the southeast corner... doesn't that mean we have to walk fifty miles at night?"

"Fifty miles?"

During the day, the cleaning lady Qi led everyone to collect wild fruits and mushrooms. She was already exhausted after a day's work. When she heard that they had to walk such a long distance again, she collapsed to the ground and cried:

"It's more than fifty miles. How long will it take us to get there?"

Hearing Sister Qi's noise, Li Lin had to explain:
"Fifty miles is more than 25,000 meters. If we calculate it based on two steps per meter, that's more than 50,000 steps. Our salesmen have to walk this much every day when they visit clients!"

In response to Li Lin's words, the other seven salesmen among the thirteen people present nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Sister Qi's voice did not resonate with everyone, Rachel regretted asking the question.

At this point, she could only try to remedy the situation and comforted him:
"Sister Qi, let's go, leave early and arrive early!"

At this moment, Ma Jin suddenly laughed in a teasing voice:
"That's right, Sister Qi, if you don't want to, you can stay. We haven't gone far anyway."

"Ma Jin, what nonsense are you talking about? When did I say I wouldn't leave? I just want to sit down and take a rest, isn't that okay?"

Sister Qi also knew that she must not retreat at this time, so she gritted her teeth, stood up again, and continued to move forward with everyone.

Su Mingzhe's team, including himself, consists of thirteen people in total, seven of whom are women.

It can be said that this is a team with more yin than yang.

Precisely because there are so many women, men don't have to worry about the "distribution" issue. When the oldest sister Qi wanted to "take advantage of her age", no man was polite to her, and some even simply confronted her rudely!
The girls also noticed this problem, and continued on their journey without saying anything.

Line, line, line, line.

After half an hour.

Seeing that everyone was indeed very tired, Su Mingzhe asked everyone to sit down and rest for a while.

At this moment, Ma Jin exclaimed, attracting everyone's attention:
"Here...here...there is a monument...Xiaoxing, bring the torch!"

"There's a monument? What monument?"

When everyone heard that there were traces of human civilization, they immediately gathered around excitedly.

When the torches got closer, everyone could see clearly that the "stele" that the horse entered was actually a square stele no more than two feet high.

There are four Arabic numerals on both the front and back of the stone tablet.

Xiaoxing walked around the stone tablet and found nothing useful, so he could only ask his cousin who was not related to him by blood:

"Brother, what does it mean when it says '1700'?"

"How would I know what that means!"

Ma Jin looked up at everyone and sighed:
"It's a pity that Professor Shi didn't come with us, otherwise we could ask him! This old guy is really good!"

"I know what this means!" Wen Juan suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention.

Wenjuan, who was the center of attention for the first time, was still a little uncomfortable.

However, when she noticed that Su Mingzhe was also looking at her, she couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Everyone just listened to her:

"My husband and I saw this kind of stone tablet on a mountain road during our honeymoon. The tour guide told us that the numbers on this stone tablet are called 'altitude lines', which refer to the altitude of this place!"

"Altitude?"

Wenjuan's words were like a bucket of water poured into a boiling oil pan.

Everyone exploded at once:
"One thousand seven hundred meters... is it that high?"

"We are at most two or three hundred meters from the sea level, right?"

"Oh, Shanshan, help me up, I'm a little afraid of heights..."

"Sister Qi, you're not afraid of heights, you're just scared!"

In the past few days, we have heard a lot of doomsday theories.

Wen Juan's words at this moment undoubtedly provided a favorable confirmation for the "end of the world theory"!

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

If there is anyone in the crowd who firmly disagrees with the "end of the world theory", it must be Ma Jin.

The reason for his opposition was not really that he disagreed, but because he had bought lottery tickets for many years and finally won the 60 million jackpot!
Now, you tell me that the sea level has risen to more than a thousand meters! ?
Does Binhai City still exist?

Do humans still exist?

Who should I ask to redeem my lottery ticket?

"Impossible, this is impossible, you must be mistaken!"

Ma Jin stood up with a grunt!

He thought Wenjuan must be deceiving him, and the loss and panic triggered the anger that had been pent up in his heart for many days.

For a moment, Ma Jin lost his mind, waving his hands and pounced on Wen Juan.

He wanted Wenjuan to take back what she had just said!
He wanted Wenjuan to admit that she was talking nonsense!

However, before Ma Jin could grab Wen Juan's shoulders, he suddenly felt weak in his limbs. After a dizzy spell, his eyes went dark and he lost consciousness.

Xiaoxing was shocked when he saw Su Mingzhe hit his cousin on the head. He quickly supported his cousin who had fainted and yelled at Su Mingzhe:
"Su Mingzhe, why...why did you hit my brother?"

"What did your brother do? Didn't you see it?"

Su Mingzhe would not indulge the two brothers, and turned to the others and said:

"I reiterate, if you want to follow me, you must abide by my rules! My team will never allow anyone to bully anyone. If anyone dares to use force against others, get out of my team!"

"Just go away, who cares?"

Xiaoxing saw his cousin being beaten unconscious by Su Mingzhe, and in anger, he announced that he had drawn a clear line between himself and Su Mingzhe.

"let's go!"

Seeing this, Su Mingzhe was happy to leave the two brothers behind and immediately led everyone to continue their journey.

After the little incident just now, there was no more noise in the team.

The mountain road of fifty miles is really difficult to walk on.

After walking three or four miles, everyone had to take a rest.

I rested twelve times in one night.

As the sun rose, everyone realized:

Su Mingzhe actually brought everyone to a huge monster!
