Chapter 176: Experiment
Song Qing guessed that this place should be something similar to a fountain pool before it was deserted, and she could almost imagine what it would be like when Zhou's scientific and technological personnel were still there, when the scenery was still here, this pool was not deserted.
But no matter how beautiful it was at the time, it has fallen into decay at this time.
The pool was overgrown with unknown plants, and the roots, stems, and branches were densely intertwined, and they had spread out of the pool and stretched out into the open space in all directions.
The plants climbed up the statue and covered it so tightly that it was impossible to see what the stone sculpture looked like, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a person, an object, or something else.
But at this time, No. 7 and Song Qingxiao obviously didn't have that strong curiosity, No. 1's death gave the two of them a good vigilance, there may be extremely dangerous things under the vegetation on the island, not only can't get close, but should stay away.
Song Qingxiao and No. 7 skipped the stone carving with a tacit understanding, and even instinctively lightened their hands and feet and walked around the side of the stone carving.
After they left, the wind blew through the pool, and the branches and leaves of the plants inside moved as if they had come to life, and a little black shadow was revealed in the swaying between them.
In the sound of the blades colliding with each other, Song Qingxiao's little ears caught a strange sound, the sound was indescribable, as if it was the harsh sound of iron pieces scraping against stones, which made Song Qingxiao have a chill rising from the soles of his feet, spreading up along his calves, and then extending to his limbs.
Dangerous! The warning seemed to come from instinct and soul, almost giving her the urge to run away.
She forcibly overpowered her instinct with reason, held back the tremble in her heart, stopped and listened carefully, but did not hear the sound come out, she heard the lightning and thunder in mid-air, and the scene of the plants trembling when the wind was blowing, and the slightest noise before seemed to be her delusion.
Although the intense and exciting life in the past few days has caused Song Qingxiao's mental power to be highly concentrated, and she has been consuming, but she has not been able to get the opportunity to recuperate, and now her mental power is not abundant, but at such a critical moment, she still mobilizes the spiritual power in the sea of consciousness and begins to slowly release it.
A thunderous 'click' suddenly sounded, and the lightning with teeth and claws slashed down with the momentum of ten thousand jun.
Song Qingxiao's eyes were illuminated as daylight, her spiritual power quickly dissipated under the coercion of heaven and earth, in the face of that amazing thunderous momentum, the human being's ability was always extremely weak, she still had some heart palpitations, and she didn't have time to explore anything.
"What's wrong?"
No. 7 noticed Song Qingxiao's stay, raised his head, moved his mouth, and asked silently.
Song Qingxiao hesitated for a long time and shook his head, but when No. 7 was just relieved, he raised his left hand and put it in front of his abdomen, interlocked his index finger with his thumb, and made a '3' gesture.
Although the previous abnormal sound did not appear again, like Song Qingxiao's illusion, but be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.
On such a devil's island, the closer you get to the heart of the island, the more vigilant you must be in order to have a better chance of survival.
Judging from the current weather, a huge storm is inevitable, and the three remaining trialists should have already arrived here.
No. 3 has the ability to become invisible, and at this time, he may have entered the laboratory, or he may be nearby, or even beside the two of them, watching his movements with Seven.
Seven understood, and nodded imperceptibly.
After the lightning disappeared, darkness enveloped the laboratory again, and the towering door signs and the tall stone sculptures standing in the pool caused great psychological pressure.
Song Qingxiao always felt that this was not a place to stay for a long time, so she endured the fear in her heart and bypassed the pool with No. 7.
After the pool, it is the first guard booth to enter the laboratory.
The people had been evacuated, but the security booth was still there, the door was closed and dusty, and it had long been overrun by the island's plants.
In front of the security booth, there are several iron fences that are crookedly reversed, and it is conceivable that this place has suffered violent impact, because these iron fences have been deformed, except that the two ends are still connected to the stone fences on both sides, the middle section has been flattened to the ground, and the gaps between the fences are filled with dust, not like they were caused in a short period of time.
The iron fence was flanked by unbridled vines, which were wrapped around the fence like snakes.
The existence of these things seems to tell the scene of the year to the people who inadvertently broke into this place again more than ten years later.
Song Qingxiao closed his eyes, and a scene came to his mind - Zhou's genetic experiment failed and announced his evacuation, leaving the immortal technology on this isolated island far away from the hustle and bustle.
At the beginning of the evacuation, it is unknown whether the animals used for experiments were disposed of, but it is certain that after the Zhou people left, they left behind a disaster, and the pollution left behind caused the mutation of the biological genes on the island, and then crashed into this place.
But what is worth paying attention to is that she found that the iron fence that fell to the ground was slightly different from the sides.
She picked up the dagger and carefully picked up the vines wrapped around the iron fence on one side, and the sharp tip of the dagger easily broke a vine.
The vine had been attached to the iron fence for a long time, almost as one, and when it was peeled off, the rattan was stained with some black paint from the fence, revealing the rusty inside of the fence below.
On the contrary, the paint on the fence that had fallen to the ground had long since peeled off, and the exposed iron bars showed signs of scratching by hard objects.
The soil on the ground is sparsely weeded and not dense.
Song Qing was cautious and suspicious, and before he had time to think, another deafening thunderbolt struck down, and No. 7 tilted his head and motioned for the two to go to the laboratory.
The rain was about to fall, and the wind was blowing more and more violently, and the shadows covered the land, conveying a faint death.
Song Qingxiao held back the feelings in her heart and followed No. 7 to the gate of the research institute.
From the outside, Zhou's research laboratory is a bit unworthy of the façade sign they stand outside.
The laboratory is not large from the outside, like an inverted semi-circular bowl with pure white tiles on the outside, even in the gray light, it is still very eye-catching.
There were some green plants crawling on the top, these plants must have been polluted, and they were growing quite strong, and the rhizomes firmly grasped the cracks in the tiles, and over time, they grabbed the cracks in the roof of the research room.
Below is a large wall of floor-to-ceiling glass and doors, but the glass on the left side cracks, creating a gap nearly three or four meters high, and the wind blows into the laboratory through the glass crack, making a 'whistling' echo.
The remnants of glass hung on both sides, covered with thick dust, but the figures of the two trialists who had broken into the place and the stone sculptures and pools reflected behind them could be faintly glimpsed.
Song Qingxiao and No. 7 stood in front of the cracked glass, the wind blew in from the two of them, and after a rotation, some air was not fresh.
