Chapter 1063: Oh my, a survival variety show runs into an ex! 33

After a brief rest, Jin Chen put on his earphones to monitor every move outside.

Yu Sui, wearing dried clothes, crouched beside the cave wall, slowly moving, studying the carvings and symbols on it.

"This is…… a record of a tribal prophet."

He wasn't entirely sure, relying only on the knowledge he'd crammed recently to interpret, and slowly read it out to Jin Chen.

"An ancient fable, beneath the dark current that has flowed for a thousand years, there is something that can change human fate; the prophet foresaw and recorded it, and beside the dark current there is also an ocean vortex capable of burying the entire deserted island."

Yu Sui spoke while his fingertip slowly moved across the mural, finally stopping at the last painting, where he gazed for a long time.

He then lifted his head to look at Jin Chen by the fire, "The thing that could change human fate might be the missing gene code from the experiment."

After saying that, he looked back at the mural; its pattern had endured a hundred years, the color had long faded, leaving only a vague imprint.

Originally meant as a warning for future generations, but those organizations used it to turn living people into werewolves.

Jin Chen's focus lay in the latter part of the sentence.

The dark current river likely refers to this river that emerged as the deserted island was cut apart; the people behind it didn't know about the ocean vortex, and certainly hadn't set up any monitoring measures.

"It would be just right to sink this island," Jin Chen said, "but we don't have much time left."

With mechanism after mechanism altered, the island beneath is probably on the verge of collapse.

Jin Chen——Yu Sui——!

Both heard the shout from outside at the same time.

It was Shen Yi's voice.

Jin Chen pressed Yu Sui's hand, shook his head to signal him not to respond, then put on his earphones and tuned the channel to the monitor placed on Shen Yi.

"Damn… he really died."

Shen Yi shouted several times but got no reply; standing at the cliff edge, he could only see the vines hanging down opposite, as if hastily made.

But hanging down to the water's bottom, constantly washed by the river, the person who had just said he'd go look for Yu Sui also vanished without a trace.

Shen Yi gazed down for a while, let out a long sigh, and ran back.

Jin Chen recalled Shen Yi saying he'd gotten separated from someone, twisted again, and heard Su Nai's voice.

The other side of the deserted island.

Su Nai: "I came to find you alone because I want to continue our earlier conversation."

"You are a guard, hoping to win by guarding Jin Chen and obtain part of the gene code."

Zhong He grunted, his voice cold, "You've exposed my identity—what else do you want?"

Su Nai: "I am a witch."

Hearing this, Zhong He's wary expression finally relaxed; after pondering for a long time, he slowly came to believe.

Su Nai continued: "To be frank, I originally wanted to keep for myself the antidote that can suppress the werewolf killings."

She stood in the dense jungle, her outdoor training suit soaked and dirty, yet her gaze remained sharp.

"But after all these days, relying only on myself, I might not survive safely, so I plan to give the antidote to Jin Chen."

Zhong He frowned, "The guard and the one who takes the antidote must absolutely not be the same person."

Otherwise, the double protection would fail, and Jin Chen would die instantly if he encountered a werewolf attack.

"That's precisely why I came to find you."

Su Nai's gaze drifted toward the tall thicket, leaves larger than a human face, as if in this forest only humans were the most insignificant.

"Since you've already decided to guard Jin Chen, my antidote will still be kept for myself, or…… you."

Zhong He puzzled, "Why?"

Su Nai turned to face him, the camera having unfortunately fallen off during their earlier run.

"Don't you get it? We're both people abandoned by the organization."

"Even if we make it back alive, our fate won't be much better than those werewolves; my organization specializes in research experiments, and I've seen……"

Su Nai's tone paused, her expression falling considerably.

"I've seen experimental subjects that failed to turn into werewolves, half-dead, suffering daily the pain of needle-like hairs drilling out from beneath their skin."

"The remaining set of gene code is the key to the experiment."

Zhong He was somewhat taken aback, the color draining from his face, slowly grasping the current situation.

Without the code, killed by werewolves, you will die.

With the code, returning to the organization, you will still die.

Or if the gene experiment succeeds, you become one of those werewolves roaming the forest, a fate worse than death.

Seeing his expression change, Su Nai's tone returned to calm: "That day, when we were forcibly separated in the cave, I asked the organization—gene experiments cannot turn a person into a ghost."

"Perhaps…… that day it was Jin Chen controlling the corpse, following him, that could lead us out alive."

Zhong He bit hard on the inside of his lip, steeled himself, "Good, I'll cooperate with you to find Jin Chen and Yu Sui."

After their talk, they headed back; far off they saw Shen Yi running back, his expression extremely panicked.

"Su Nai!!"

Shen Yi shouted loudly, his soul lost, running over.

"Jin Chen… Jin Chen and Yu Sui are both dead."

"What?!"

Su Nai let out an incredulous question, instantly feeling a chill in her heart, her emotions overturned.

"Explain clearly." Zhong He's voice was extremely cold.

Shen Yi panted, his expression equally dazed, he slapped his face before continuing.

"I met Jin Chen halfway; he went to look for Yu Sui, right at the cliff edge… when I ran over, I only saw the hanging vines…… and also the coat swept away by the river."

Su Nai cursed from the depths of her feelings.

Just as we finished the plan, the most crucial person in it died. Damn it, heavens.

While the three talked, they had already returned to the main force; Xia Dong and the others sent out several people but found no trace of Jin Chen and Yu Sui, and asked again.

Then everyone learned of their deaths.

The plan changed; Su Nai could only rush to drive the werewolf out.

Besides He Chao, who just got stabbed, there must be other werewolves among them.

Su Nai's gaze swept over everyone, finally resting on Lin Gui.

"He Chao is a werewolf, but he never harmed you—not just because of love, right?"

Lin Gui, taken aback by the suspicion, looked sad, slowly stepped to Fang Yi's side, "I'm not a werewolf."

Su Nai drew her dagger, as if wanting to try it herself.

And He Chao, who had inexplicably been stabbed just now, remained dazed in pain, not noticing this side at all.

Su Nai was about to rush over when she saw Lin Gui shift instantly, half his hand turning into a wolf claw, gripping Fang Yi tightly, "Don't come closer, or she'll die."

Lin Gui's earlier sorrow disappeared, replaced by a smile as if he controlled everything, "You don't want everyone here killed one by one by me, do you?"

Su Nai stopped, gripping her dagger tightly, "You think an insignificant person can threaten me?"

"So I'll make her my food; you should have no objections."

Lin Gui laughed, seizing Fang Yi and retreating at great speed, his posture extremely strange; He Chao shuddered all over and followed.

"Save me!! Ah—"

The cute girl Fang Yi was terrified out of her wits, the rabbit ears on her hoodie trembling pitifully.

But now no one can save her; Su Nai also really doesn't intend to waste antidote on an ordinary person, after several chases she still didn't continue rescuing.

"Ah? Ah? Lin Gui is a werewolf???"

"Looks like the weakest one is actually a werewolf? Lin Gui, how many more surprises are you hiding from me!"

"The cute girl was taken away… the camera on Lin Gui's side is also gone!"

"No! All the video feeds are disappearing!"

All live broadcasts stopped; no matter how the bullet comments frenziedly scrolled, there was no intention to restore the picture.

"...? Is there something unsightly coming up?"

"Same upstairs! In reality, who could turn into a wolf? This island is just too strange."

The other organization leaders watching the live broadcast, however, understood that the final showdown had arrived.
