As the seawater gushed in, the fishy and cold air poured into the underground laboratory. The explosion caught the three trial-takers off guard!
Song qingxiao’s running steps stopped, and a huge crack appeared on the ground under the explosion, spreading from the bottom to the top of the stairs.
The lights above the stairs cracked and twisted as the ground cracked, and the lights flashed.
A huge tremor came from the bottom of their feet, causing everyone who was running for their lives to lose their balance.
‘Chi
Under the strong airflow caused by the explosion, all the noise and explosions in song qingxiao’s ears had gone far away. An unbearable buzzing sound came from her ears, which pierced her nerves.
All the sounds had disappeared, and his ears seemed to be blocked by a heavy object. He only felt his qi and blood churning, and his three souls and seven spirits had already left his body. It was as if he would go into shock in the next moment!
Song qingxiao’s hands were pressed against her ears. Her eyes were red. She instinctively looked up and saw the glass in front of her shatter silently, turning into a Spider-web-like pattern.
Everything in front of her was distorted. As her pupils shrank, she could vaguely see the tables and cabinets shaking as if there was an earthquake. The glassware placed on them shattered and fell to the ground.
However, all of this was like a silent motion video. A large amount of dust that was jolted into the air flew into her mouth and blocked her throat.
She staggered forward and barely managed to steady her feet. Her mind was blank, and she almost forgot where she was at the sudden explosion.
Song qingxiao subconsciously turned around and saw the fire behind her. Broken rocks and broken limbs of mutated creatures were flying around with blood, just like a scene in a movie.
The tunnel had already collapsed, and the glass on both sides that blocked the seawater could not withstand the shock and shattered. The seawater gushed into the tunnel, but it did not extinguish the fire for a while.
The moment the water and fire merged, it was like a beautiful dream. Song qingxiao’s eyes widened subconsciously.
Her pupils were dyed with the color of fire, and the smell of gunpowder mixed with the heat and the fishy smell of seawater hit her face, making her almost unable to breathe for a moment.
Within their line of sight, number three’s body, which was running forward, was sent flying six or seven meters away by the shock. Finally, he landed behind number seven, who was swaying and could not stand steadily. The dust that flew up instantly wrapped the two of them.
buzz … the ringing in her ears lasted for what seemed like a century. Song qingxiao shook her head hard, and the gravel collapsed. The cold and humid air rushed in with the seawater.
The waves that swept over washed over the deformed stairs caused by the blast of the explosion and rolled up a layer of waves with a bang.
With a squeaking sound, some huge white mutated creatures with ferocious faces struggled to escape from the burning fire.
The pungent smell of roasted meat overwhelmed the stench. The seawater broke through the glass wall and began to pour in unscrupulously.
Song qingxiao was stung by the smell. She coughed and retched violently. Her eyes were raw and irritated, which stimulated her tear glands. Tears flowed out, and she gradually regained consciousness.
Her hands were still shaking. A large number of mutated creatures were floating on the surface of the water, struggling to hide on the stairs.
Her body was still a little numb, and her legs were not listening to her anymore. She saw the dark water reflecting the fire gradually rising up to her mouth, and her lost consciousness began to come back.
The three participants had accidentally barged into the cages that longevity technology used to imprison the experimental animals. Halfway through, she remembered the English sign at the entrance of the tunnel and instinctively turned around to escape.
As soon as this thought entered song Qing’s mind, all the memories that had been shocked by the explosion came back to her.
It was dangerous!
Her hands trembled as she endured the pain in her head. Her eyes gradually regained focus. She saw number three fall behind number seven and the two of them struggled to get up.
Below the stairs, the water was moving up. The White mutated creature floating in the sea raised its sharp mouth and wagged its tail like a propeller, swimming desperately to the stairs.
If one ignored their huge bodies, they looked like rats.
Song qingxiao instinctively backed away. The sudden explosion in the tunnel was too strange.
Number three had been tricked by her and was exposed. Logically speaking, he should have been fed to the mutant creatures. However, this person had used some unknown method to escape from the tunnel without being eaten by the mutant creatures and even blew up the tunnel.
Song qingxiao’s mind suddenly flashed as she recalled something.
She vaguely saw that when number three was sent flying by the air current, she seemed to be empty-handed, and the silver suitcase in her hand was gone.
At the thought of this, song qingxiao could not help but recall something.
When they first entered the island, in order to suppress and drive the trial-takers to work for him, Mr. Zhou mentioned that the evolution drug was in his box when he was negotiating with them.
At that time, Mr. Zhou had said that only he had the key, and the box could not be opened by force. If anyone tried to open it by force, the box would become a bomb.
The old Fox’s words were half-truths, but there was no doubt that the box would explode if it was opened by force.
No. 3 must have used this opportunity to escape and blow up the tunnel, thus obtaining a chance of survival.
However, as a result, the laboratory was built very deep underground and the island was hollowed out. Now that the underground exploded and seawater poured in, it would not take long for the underground laboratory to be swallowed by seawater.
At that time, even if he was not killed by the mutant creatures, he would be trapped in the water and die in the underground laboratory!
The water had reached the second level of the stairs in a very short time. The waves were splashing on the stone stairs, and there were some broken limbs of mutant creatures floating on the surface.
The smell of blood would attract the bloodthirsty strange fish at the bottom of the sea. If they didn’t leave now, they might not be able to leave!
When song qingxiao thought of this, he ran forward without hesitation.
At this point, the path in front was blocked, and they could only retreat.
Even if the hall of the laboratory collapsed and the escape route was blocked, it was still better than staying here.
There was only one way back. The elevator could barely be used, but once the seawater spread up, the elevator would be damaged and they would not be able to go out.
Song qingxiao ran forward with all her might. Number seven and number three also recovered quickly. They got up and ran forward while enduring the discomfort.
The first batch of white mice that had escaped had already come ashore at the stairs. These violent creatures shook off the water droplets on their bodies.
Their fur was wet and stood up like steel needles. Soon, they saw number seven and number three. They bared their teeth and revealed a drooling expression.
“Wait for me,” he said.
Number three was so shocked that her limbs were shaking. Number seven was younger than her, and she ran faster during the explosion, so the impact she received was not as strong as number three’s.
After getting up, he rushed forward, leaving number three behind by a big step.
The squeaking of the rats behind him was mixed with the sound of the waves hitting the shore. The tunnel was about to collapse, and the tiles fell into the water. The sound was drowned out by other louder sounds..
