The strange smell of mold mixed with a large amount of dust hit their faces, choking song qingxiao and number seven. They instinctively covered their mouths and noses and sneezed.
Among these smells, there was a pungent smell that was not fishy, but also carried a faint stench. Taking a deep breath, it was as if one could only smell the stench of soil and plants, as well as the traces of the Zhou consortium’s humans that had rotted and molted with the passage of time.
Number seven was checking the glass shards carefully to see if there were any traces left by number three.
Her actions were useless. There was a lot of space left behind after the glass shattered. Number three had been very careful after being injured, so he would not leave any traces behind.
As expected, number seven didn’t find anything suspicious in the end and finally gave up resentfully.
Song qingxiao looked at the broken glass with a serious expression.
She walked a few steps along the floor-to-ceiling glass wall, and her toes seemed to be rubbing against the ground. She found some glass shards in the unknown weeds.
Number Seven’s eyes flickered and he stepped in.
The moment her feet touched the ground, even though she had lightened her steps, a small ‘tap’ sound still echoed in the empty space.
With a ‘Kacha’ sound, number seven seemed to have stepped on something. She lifted her leg and kicked it away. The sound of broken glass being kicked could be heard.
She looked up at song qingxiao and lowered her voice,”
“There’s also broken glass inside.” After saying this, she added, “”More than outside.”
At this point, the two of them could already feel that something was wrong.
The glass of the Changsheng Technology Laboratory was not ordinary glass. It had several layers of adhesive and was about 25 millimeters thick. Such glass had extremely strong pressure resistance.
Even if the glass was hit by gravity and shattered, its special performance would cause the cracks to concentrate on the force, like a spider web, and not spread.
It wasn’t an easy task to shatter them and scatter them on the ground.
From the position of the glass shards, song qingxiao could roughly guess that after the Zhou consortium’s people left, the Changsheng Technology Laboratory was closed. Something rushed out from inside, and the huge impact shattered the glass.
After a long time, something bigger and more destructive than the one that left the laboratory returned and hit the glass wall again.
So the crack in the glass wall was shockingly large, and there were pieces of glass everywhere.
“Are you going in or not?”
No. 7 narrowed his eyes when he noticed the broken glass inside.
She tilted her head and looked at song Qing. Her pupils had shrunk to the size of a needle.
So far, it seemed that song qingxiao’s worst guess had come true. Something on the other side of the mountain must have mutated and evolved to become something that had caused all the creatures on the island to disappear.
On the day they landed on the island, Mr. Zhou had vaguely said that three years ago, the satellite had accidentally taken a picture of the island. There were traces of abnormal activity.
This kind of abnormality that could attract the attention of the Zhou consortium was probably not caused by crocodiles, silver wolves, man-eating termites, flying insects, or those mutated creatures in the sea. Only a more powerful, more terrifying, more destructive, and more high-end existence could attract Mr. Zhou’s interest. It made him come here at all costs.
Mr. Zhou insisted on rushing to the laboratory even though they had encountered danger along the way. Even though so many people had died and they had encountered so many dangers, he refused to change his mind. This had confirmed song qingxiao’s guess.
The dead cultivators had no fate to see this scene, and the three who were alive had unfortunately stepped into this place.
Although they didn’t know why they didn’t encounter that extremely terrifying existence when they entered, that kind of luck might not have accompanied them to the end.
This trial was extremely dangerous. Song qingxiao had been in danger several times since she entered the trial, but she had never felt so depressed.
‘Dong Dong, Dong Dong, Dong Dong…’ Number Seven’s heart was beating rapidly, but he was still nervous.
The two of them had already entered the territory of this unknown creature. It was probably too late to retreat now.
The sound of lightning and thunder was earth-shattering, and the wind blew, breaking some branches and making ‘Kacha, Kacha’ sounds.
Song qingxiao began to weigh the gains and losses in her heart. From the current mission, the mission of killing the mutant creatures was only half completed.
The hexagram magic array in his sea of consciousness had only lit up halfway. The trial-takers had completed four out of six sacrifices, and they still needed two more sacrifices.
Up until now, there were only three women alive, and they were extraordinarily cautious. It was not an easy thing for anyone to plot against the other.
Number Seven’s eyes were complicated. He was still looking down on song Qing with some probing, provocation, and faint fear and crazy ambition of trying to take risks.
Doing unusual things under unusual circumstances, one could not gain the Tiger cub without entering the Tiger’s den.
Advancing might be a dead end, but retreating might not be the door of life. “Are you going in or not?”
Number seven asked again in a hoarse voice. His voice was like a whisper, held in his mouth.
He was afraid that if he made any noise, he would wake up the terrifying mutant creature and attract danger.
“I’m not entering.” Song qingxiao could hear the temptation in her words, but after thinking about it, she shook her head and rejected number Seven’s suggestion.
No. 7 was anxious to determine the winner, complete the mission, and leave this place. Her two consecutive ‘enter or not’ had vividly revealed her heart.
However, there were still three types of mutant creatures to kill. The existence of mutant creatures here had made other creatures extinct. Even if the three women worked together to kill it, song qingxiao knew her own strength very well. She might not be able to gain the upper hand.
He had killed one type of mutant creature, but there were two more to kill.
At this time, he was covered in injuries and exhausted, which was no different from waiting for death!
She was also anxious to leave this place, but she wanted to live more.
No. 7 didn’t expect her to reject his proposal. Perhaps she was too surprised, her mouth slightly opened, revealing two canine teeth, and her face was full of disbelief.
Before song qingxiao could retreat after saying ‘don’t advance’, he heard a’ boom ‘above his head. The lightning lit up the earth, and the electric arc went straight down from the sky. The earth seemed to tremble because of the heavenly might.
A buzzing sound came from the ground. Before number seven could hide his expression, song Qing heard a crisp sound in her ears.
“Not good.”
She screamed in her heart and heard a clear cracking sound from the building above the laboratory.
A large number of tiles began to fall. The building had not been touched by people for a long time and had been invaded by mutated plants. There were many large and small cracks in many places. Now that it was shaken by the lightning and thunder, it looked like it was going to collapse.
Song qingxiao felt that she was really unlucky. Just as she thought about it, she heard a light ‘crack’ above her head..
