With that said, what room DID number seven have to struggle?
She was curious why song qingxiao would ask her about her wound. She thought that song qingxiao was trying to remind her that she had hit the fish in her direction, hinting that they were enemies.
Who knew that song qingxiao would change the topic and wait here.
Number six, the man in the suit, and the scholar, who had vowed to form an alliance with her and never betray her, all took a step back after song qingxiao finished speaking. They were obviously afraid of her.
Although he knew that the friendship between the trial-takers was not as thin as paper, and he would probably have the same reaction as them, seeing these people’s attitude of avoiding him like the plague still made number seven both shocked and angry.
She had been injured by the strange fish, so she was very afraid. Not only was she afraid of song qingxiao’s ‘infection’, but she was also worried that some of her body’s secrets would be exposed if her blood sample was sent to Mr. Zhou for analysis.
Everyone was hiding their strength, but Mr. Zhou was doing genetic research. Analyzing blood samples and genetic mutation were his old profession.
What was the difference between him obtaining her blood and exposing her secret to the other trial-takers? All his trump cards were revealed.
Thinking of this, number seven was even more furious.
She began to suspect that when song qingxiao caught the fish, it just happened to jump in her direction. Was it too much of a coincidence?
Number seven was already a little suspicious. He looked at song qingxiao several times and gritted his teeth in hatred.
However, she was not stupid. After calming down, she endured the pain in her hand and the fear in her heart. She smiled and said,”
we’re going to take the genes of the strange fish to test if it’s infected. Isn’t there another injured person? ”
She pretended not to notice Mr. Zhou’s furrowed brows. She clenched her injured hand and put it behind her back.
Although Mr. Zhou was not satisfied, number Seven’s refusal made sense. He could only shake his head and signal the people around him to find the other man who had been scratched by the strange fish today.
The man was supported by a few hired workers and did not resist. Song qingxiao’s words had frightened him. When Mr. Zhou sent someone to take his blood and test for infection, he had been very cooperative.
Even though he did not draw any blood from No. 7, song Qingxin had a good idea of what was going on.
Number Seven’s body had either been strengthened or there was something strange about her bloodline. Otherwise, she would not be so resistant to the blood test.
The people on the ship were already cleaning up the aftermath. Some things had already been laid out on the table. Mr. Zhou did not hide it anymore. He half-threatened and half-courteously invited the group of participants into the cabin to talk.
The seven trial-takers had made such a ruckus just to wait for this result, so they all nodded their heads in agreement.
Mr. Zhou turned around and went back to the cabin first. Song qingxiao took the lead and followed him. After she took a few steps, the other participants stood still.
The scholar, the man in the suit, number six, and the others exchanged a look, and their eyes fell on the bird droppings all over the deck.
Song qingxiao had made it clear before that no matter how the genes were modified, the food chain of nature would never change. Everything had its weakness.
The strange fish was extremely brutal. When it saw the flock of birds, it scattered. Song qingxiao threw the fish’s body away to buy time for the birds to enter the house. A few participants who entered the house but did not have time to close the door saw it.
The fish’s armor-like scales could not withstand a single blow from the birds ‘claws. This was enough to prove that the birds were more ferocious than the fish.
The seabirds gathered in groups, and when they spread their wings, their momentum could cover the sky. Their sharp claws and beaks were abnormally sharp, and occasionally, the feathers that fell off were like steel needles.
As song qingxiao had said, the seabirds were like the overlords of the sky. They came and went without a trace. With their feces, the strange fish would not even dare to come close.
Based on this situation, he could probably use the aura of these seabirds to scare off some of the other creatures on the island.
Everyone thought that they had a clue about the mission, but song qingxiao said it so easily. They didn’t know if it was just a slip of the tongue or if she didn’t realize this important point.
Otherwise, when Mr. Zhou had already sent people to clean up the deck and had people follow him into the cabin to discuss matters, she had followed him without any intention of collecting the bird droppings.
In the Alliance of cultivators, the refined scholar, the man in the suit, and a few others smiled at each other in tacit understanding. They stopped in their tracks and waited for song qingxiao to approach the cabin behind Mr. Zhou. The refined scholar reached into his pocket and took out a piece of tissue paper from his bag. He wiped the broken railing and grabbed a handful of bird droppings into the tissue paper. Then, he pinched it and put it into his pocket..
