After only twenty minutes of walking, Fisher led the four people to the first mission location of his team.
Slowly pushing open the dense trees in front of them, an iron tower about five meters high, like a high-voltage electricity tower, came into view.
"arrive!"
Fisher took a deep breath, gestured behind him, and then walked directly to the bottom of the tower.
Looking up from the bottom of the signal tower, we can see that this tower-shaped building made of steel is taller than the surrounding trees. There is also a white lighting lamp on the top of the tower, which is just like placing it in the primitive jungle. Like a round pearl.
Apparently, once the signal tower is lit, it can be clearly seen from the top of the mountain.
"This is our first goal of this trip."
Spreading out the map made of clothing in his hand and looking at it, Fisher nodded and said, "We have a total of three signal towers to light up, and this is the closest one."
As he spoke, he looked at the silent blond woman beside him.
"Let me do it!"
Jennifer nodded, and saw her take a deep breath and stand directly at the bottom of the signal tower, while Fisher quickly waved his hand and asked everyone to move aside.
Apparently, Jennifer is ready to light up the signal tower.
"Black Ball Ganz said that once the signal tower is lit up, it will be cursed. So what does this curse refer to? Virus, poison gas? Or something else..."
Fisher murmured in a low voice, his expression extremely solemn. He was ready to flee back to the safe area as soon as he discovered something was wrong.
Jennifer, who was at the bottom of the tower, raised the contact device in her hand, selected the option to light up the signal tower, and then pressed it hard!
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
A few seconds passed, but Jennifer seemed to be still, standing still in place and keeping pressing the button.
"Jennifer?"
Fisher couldn't help but call in a low voice, and then Jennifer slowly came back to her senses. She looked away from the screen of the communicator with a blank expression and looked at Fisher, "What happened just now? "
"No, nothing happened."
Fisher looked up at the top of the signal tower, only to find that the basketball-sized lighting had been turned on silently, but nothing seemed to have changed, neither the signal tower nor Jennifer herself.
Jennifer also looked up, and then walked towards Fisher, "I didn't feel any curse approaching..."
But before she finished speaking, she stopped.
Because Jennifer saw that when she walked towards everyone, everyone including Fisher subconsciously took a step back.
"Jennifer, are you, are you feeling okay?"
Fisher reacted immediately. He forced a smile and said, "It's great to see you're okay. We thought the so-called curse would be a biochemical weapon like rabies virus!"
"No, I don't feel anything."
Jennifer's expression dimmed. She shook her head and said with a wry smile, "I only saw a weird picture appearing on the contact. After I clicked OK, the picture disappeared again."
"What kind of picture?" Fisher asked quickly.
Jennifer then cheered up and showed a thoughtful look, "It's hard to describe, that picture makes me feel sick, like... like piles of corpses, like some stinky filth. The objects are piled together to form a pattern that gives a feeling of filth and disgust.”
"is that so?"
Fisher suddenly frowned, "Is this the curse Black Ball Ganz said? It shouldn't be..."
"Now is not the time to discuss this. Let's light up the second signal tower first."
Jennifer shook his head, looked at the people far away from him, and simply walked forward first.
"Be careful of those monsters wandering around, let's follow them!"
Seeing this, Fisher also felt a little embarrassed. He quickly greeted everyone behind him and took the lead in chasing after them.
In this primitive jungle that no one has been to for countless years, except for the five huge tyrant monsters, there does not seem to be much danger. No one even encountered poisonous snakes and beasts. In about three hours, the remaining ones were eliminated. The two signal towers were also lit up.
Next, as long as Jennifer is returned to the safe zone, their team's mission will be completed.
In this first wave of missions to light up signal towers, it is enough to light up a hundred signal towers closest to the safe zone. At the same time, this mission is also a test to circumvent the rules. If successful, the remaining one hundred signal towers will be lit up. A signal tower would be easy to handle.
As for why not to light up all the signal towers at once, firstly, it is because there is a tyrant in the jungle, and the deeper you go, the more dangerous it is. Secondly, if the other party does not admit its method of circumventing the rules, your side can stop the loss in time. .
Along the way, Jennifer, who was responsible for lighting the signal tower, did not experience any abnormalities.
"Maybe the so-called curse doesn't exist at all? The other party is just scaring us?"
"Let me just say, how can black magic exist in the world? Can it turn a person into ashes in one day? It's impossible!"
In the team, people kept talking in low voices, and their words were full of joy.
Fisher on the side gradually relaxed, and he smiled at Jennifer, "Thank you, Jennifer, you are a hero."
"hope so."
Jennifer just smiled reluctantly, looking uninterested.
Just when Fisher was about to say something to save his image, his pupils suddenly shrank.
Because he suddenly discovered that a large black thing spread out from Jennifer's stained back.
That kind of thing spread along Jennifer's back and has spread to the nape of her neck, and these things don't seem to be stains left by walking in the jungle, but grow directly from the skin...
It seemed to be a piece of black ash, stuck to the back of Jennifer's neck, and the black ash was still falling off with the friction of clothes.
But after it fell, what was exposed was not Jennifer's original skin, but a large sunken sore...
The sores were pale, but also pink with muscle, and seemed to be slowly expanding, looking inexplicably shocking.
However, Jennifer seemed not to notice such a huge sore.
"Is this the curse Black Ball said?"
A flash of palpitations flashed in Fisher's eyes. At this time, the trace of luck in his heart completely disappeared. It was obvious that the curse really existed and had begun to come true on Jennifer...
Just when Fisher felt chilled all over, Jennifer on the side seemed to be aware of it and turned around and looked over curiously, "What are you looking at?"
"No, it's nothing!"
Fisher shook his head quickly, and at the same time quickened his pace again, taking the lead to the front, "We'd better return to the safe area quickly, and be careful not to make too much noise, those monsters may appear near us at any time!"
With that said, the group of people started on their way in complete silence.
In this way, after another two hours of journey, when everyone was a little exhausted, the group finally returned to the safe zone, and suddenly they collapsed on the ground one by one, laughing loudly.
But at this moment, Jennifer on the side suddenly let out a scream. Everyone looked around quickly, only to find Jennifer grabbing her long hair in panic.
She pulled hard, and the entire hair on the back of her head was torn off by her, with pieces of black rotten flesh still attached to it...
