Watch Out! Danger Ahead

Chapter 221: Experiment (1)

Translator: 549690339

Song qingxiao guessed that before this place was abandoned, it should have been something like a fountain. She could almost imagine what it would have been like when the Zhou consortium’s technology personnel were still here and the pool was still in good condition.

However, no matter how glorious it was back then, it had already declined.

The pond was filled with unknown plants. Their roots, branches, and leaves were intertwined, and they had already spread out into the pond, spreading out in all directions.

The plants climbed up the statue and covered it completely. It was impossible to see the appearance of the stone statue, and it was impossible to tell if it was a person, an object, or something else.

However, both number seven and song qingxiao were not that curious. Number one’s death had given them a good sense of vigilance. There might be something extremely dangerous under the cover of the island’s vegetation. Not only should they not get close, but they should also stay as far away as possible.

Song qingxiao and No. 7 passed the stone statue in tacit understanding. They even lowered their hands and feet and went around the stone statue.

After the two of them left, the wind blew past the pond, and the leaves and branches of the plants inside moved as if they were alive. As they swayed, they revealed a little black shadow below.

In the sound of the leaves colliding with each other, song Qing’s small ears caught a strange sound. It was hard to describe, like the ear-piercing sound of iron rubbing against stone. It made song Qing shiver from the bottom of his feet, up his calves, and then to his limbs and bones.

It was dangerous! The warning seemed to come from her instinct and also from her soul, almost making her have the urge to run away.

She forced her rationality over her instincts and suppressed the trembling in her heart. She stopped and listened carefully, but she did not hear the sound. She only heard the lightning and thunder in the sky and the plants trembling when the wind blew. The sound before seemed to be her illusion.

Although the past few days of intense and exciting life had caused song qingxiao to be highly concentrated and constantly exhausted, she had no opportunity to rest and recuperate. Her current spiritual power was not abundant, but at such a critical moment, she still mobilized the spiritual power in her sea of consciousness and began to slowly release it.

With a ‘ka’ sound, a bolt of lightning struck down with great force.

Song qingxiao’s eyes were as bright as day. Her psyche quickly dissipated under the pressure of the natural phenomena. In the face of the shocking momentum of Thunder, the human’s ability was always weak. She was still a little scared and did not have time to find anything.

“What’s wrong?”

No. 7 noticed song qingxiao’s pause. He raised his head and moved his mouth, asking silently.

Song qingxiao hesitated for a while and shook her head. However, just as No. 7 heaved a sigh of relief, she raised her left hand and placed it in front of her stomach. She interlocked her index finger and thumb, making a ‘3’ gesture.

Although the strange sound did not appear again, as if it was song qingxiao’s illusion, caution was the key to success.

On such a demon Island, the closer they were to the island’s hinterland, the more vigilant they had to be in order to have a higher chance of survival.

Judging from the current weather, a huge storm was inevitable. The three remaining trial-takers should have already arrived.

Number three had the ability to become invisible. At this moment, he might have entered the laboratory, or he might be nearby, or even beside the two of them, watching their movements.

Number seven understood tacitly and nodded his head imperceptibly.

After the lightning disappeared, darkness once again enveloped the laboratory. The towering door plate and the tall stone sculpture in the pool all gave people a great deal of psychological pressure.

Song qingxiao felt that this was not a good place to stay. She suppressed her fear and went around the pool with number seven.

After the pool was the first security booth to enter the laboratory.

The people here had already evacuated, but the security booth was still there. The door was tightly closed and covered in dust. The top of the booth had long been occupied by the plants on the island.

In front of the security booth, there were several electronic iron fences that blocked the way. It could be imagined that the place had been hit by a violent impact. These iron fences were deformed. Except for the two ends that were still connected to the stone Ridge on both sides, the middle section had been flattened to the ground. The gaps between the fences were filled with dust, which did not seem to be caused in a short time.

The two sides of the iron fence were covered with wild vines, which were like snakes that wrapped around the fence tightly.

The existence of these things seemed to be telling the scene of the past to those who accidentally entered this place more than a decade later.

Song qingxiao closed her eyes and a scene appeared in her mind-the Zhou corporation’s genetic experiment failed and they announced their retreat, leaving behind longevity technology on this isolated island far away from the dust.

At the beginning of the evacuation, it was not known if the animals used for experiments were dealt with, but it was certain that after the Zhou consortium’s people left, they left behind a disaster. The remaining pollution caused the genetic mutation of the island’s creatures, which then collided with the island.

However, what caught song Qing’s attention was that she noticed that the iron fence on the ground was slightly different from the two sides.

She picked up the dagger and carefully picked up the vines wrapped around one side of the iron fence. The sharp tip of the dagger easily cut off one of the vines.

The vine had been attached to the iron fence for a long time and was almost one with it. When it was peeled off, the vine had some black paint on the fence, revealing the rusty inside of the fence.

On the contrary, the paint on the fence that had fallen to the ground had long fallen off, and the exposed iron bars had traces of being scratched by hard objects.

There were sparse weeds growing on the soil, but they were not dense.

Suspicion grew in song Qingxin’s mind. Before she could think, another deafening Thunder struck. Number seven turned his head and motioned for the two to enter the laboratory.

The rain was about to fall, and the wind was blowing more and more rapidly. Shadows covered the earth, and a faint aura of death was transmitted.

Song qingxiao suppressed her feelings and followed No. 7 to the entrance of the Research Institute.

From the outside, the Zhou consortium’s research Laboratory didn’t seem to be worthy of their signboard.

The laboratory didn’t look very big from the outside. It was like an upside-down semi-circular bowl with pure white tiles on the outside. Even under the gray light, it was still very eye-catching.

There were some green plants on the roof. These plants must have been contaminated, as they were growing quite strong. Their roots firmly grasped the gaps of the tiles, and over time, they grabbed the roof of the research room and made cracks.

There was a large floor-to-ceiling glass wall and door below, but the glass on the left was broken, and there was a gap of nearly three to four meters high. The wind blew into the laboratory through the broken glass, making a whistling sound.

There were still glass shards hanging on both sides, covered in a thick layer of dust. However, the figures of the two trial-takers who had barged in could be vaguely seen, as well as the stone sculptures and pool reflected behind them.

Song qingxiao and No. 7 stood in front of the broken glass. The wind blew in from their sides, and after a spin, some not-so-fresh air was transmitted..
