Chapter 97: Scheming
Speaking of which, what room does Seven have to struggle?
She wondered how Song Qingxiao could ask her about her wound before, and thought that Song Qingxiao mentioned this stubble to remind herself that she had hit the fish in her direction at that time, implying that the two had a feud.
Who knew that Song Qing's words changed and waited here.
The No. 6 young man, the man in the suit, and the scholar of Si Wen, who had sworn to form an alliance with her and never turn their backs, all took a step back without a trace after Song Qing finished speaking, obviously afraid of her like a tiger.
Although he knew that the friendship between the trialists was not as thin as paper, and if he were himself, he might react exactly the same as them, but really seeing the attitude of these people avoiding them still made Seven both shocked and angry.
She was injured on the hand of the strange fish, and she was also scared at this time, not only because she was afraid of Song Qingxiao's 'infection', but also because she was worried that once her blood sample was sent to Mr. Zhou for analysis, some secrets of her body would be exposed.
Everyone is hiding their strength, but Mr. Zhou is doing genetic research, and the results of blood sample analysis and gene mutations are his old job.
What is the difference between having his own blood obtained by him and being secretly exposed to the eyes of other trialists? The hole cards were revealed at once.
Thinking of this, Seven was even more annoyed.
She began to wonder if it was too much of a coincidence that when Song Qingxiao caught a fish before, the fish happened to jump in her direction?
No. 7 was already a little suspicious at this time, and he glanced at Song Qingxiao several times in succession, and he was already gritting his teeth with hatred.
But she was not stupid at all, and after settling down, she endured the pain in her hands and the fear in her heart, and said with a smile:
"If you want to take the genes of the strange fish, check if you will be infected, isn't there another injured person?"
She pretended not to see Mr. Zhou's frowning brow, and shook her injured hand again and carried it behind her back.
Although Mr. Zhou was not satisfied, No. 7's refusal was reasonable, so he could only wave his head and signal the people around him to find another man who was scratched by a strange fish today.
The man was supported by several hired workers, but he did not resist, and Song Qing's words frightened him, and when Mr. Zhou sent someone to take his blood and measure whether there was any infection, he was very cooperative.
Although he didn't draw the blood of No. 7, Song Qing already counted it in his heart.
Either Seven's body was strengthened, or there was something strange about her bloodline, otherwise she wouldn't have been so resistant to the blood check.
The people on the ship were already cleaning up the aftermath, and some things had been put on the table, and Mr. Zhou didn't hide it, half-threatening, half-politely inviting a group of trialists into the cabin.
The seven trialists made such a fuss, just waiting for such a result, and they all nodded happily at this time.
Mr. Zhou turned around and went back to the cabin first, Song Qingxiao took the lead and followed, and after she walked a few steps, several other trialists stood still and did not move.
The scholar exchanged glances with the man in the suit and the young man number six, and their eyes fell on the bird droppings that were all over the deck.
Song Qingxiao made it clear before that no matter how the genes are modified, the food chain of nature will still not change.
The strange fish was extremely ferocious, and when he saw the flock of birds, he scattered with a bang, and Song Qingxiao's movement of throwing fish corpses to buy time to enter the house was also seen by a few trialists who entered the house but did not have time to close the door.
The scales of the strange fish, which are as hard as armor, are vulnerable under the claws and beaks of the birds, which is enough to prove that the birds are fierce, especially the strange fish.
Seabirds flock in flocks, with wings that cover the sky and the sun, and their claws, beaks and beaks are unusually sharp, and occasionally the feathers that fall off are like steel needles.
As Song Qingxiao said, this group of seabirds is like the overlord of the sky, coming and going without a trace, with their droppings, the terrifying strange fish may not even dare to approach.
According to this situation, after arriving on the island, he may have frightened some creatures away with the breath of these seabirds.
Everyone thought that they had caught a little bit of the task, and Song Qingxiao said it so rashly, I don't know if it was said in passing, and I didn't realize this important point.
Otherwise, Mr. Zhou had already sent someone to clean up the aftermath of the deck and let people follow him into the cabin to discuss the matter, so she followed, and did not have the heart to collect a little of these bird droppings.
In the Trialist Alliance, the scholar and the man in the suit smiled slightly, stopped, and when Song Qingxiao had already followed behind Mr. Zhou, and the figure was close to the cabin, the scholar touched his pocket, took out a tissue from his bag, wiped it on the ruined railing, grabbed a piece of bird droppings into the tissue, and then pinched it and put it into his purse.
The rest of them were not disgusted, and they did it one by one, following his movements.
After finishing this matter, the scholar was already preparing to catch up with Mr. Zhou's pace, No. 7 rolled his eyes, understood that he had endured the nausea, found something and packed a piece of bird droppings, put it in his bag and chased it over.
Several members of the Trialist Alliance, which was formed at the earliest, had already entered the cabin one after another, but they hesitated and did not move.
The elderly woman on the side also frowned, and after a while, she stomped her foot, as if she didn't mean to put bird droppings, and walked away.
Cunbantou rolled his eyes and suddenly spoke:
"Number Three, aren't you going to pack some bird droppings to protect yourself and scare away some animals when you get to the island?"
Before they arrived on the island, everyone already felt that there was a lot of danger.
The danger of this trial is not comparable to the previous two trials, and everyone is trying to find life in this trial and try to survive to the end.
From the previous time when the trialists asked each other about the hints of this mission, they had already exposed the order in which they entered the trial space.
Si Wen is No. 2, the man in the suit is No. 4, Song Qingxiao is No. 5, followed by the No. 6 young man and No. 7.
Among the remaining two, the elderly woman is No. 3, and the identity of No. 1 is undoubtedly inch-top.
The code name actually doesn't matter, it's just a title, the reason why I don't say it, it's just that the trialists guard against each other, and they don't even want to reveal a little extra news to others, and it doesn't matter if it's exposed at this time, the third woman looked relaxed, although she was a little surprised why the No. 1 inch bantou called her to ask this, but as soon as she thought about it, she came back to her senses.
No. 2, No. 4, No. 6 and No. 7 were the first to form an alliance, and No. 5 Song Qingxiao was strong, obviously very vigilant, and had the intention of fighting alone.
The remaining two people, No. 1 and No. 3, are still unsettled.
Although everyone knew that this mission did not require cannibalism, and they might even have to help each other in order to save their lives, and they vowed to form an alliance, the big alliance is probably not as reliable as the small alliance.
No. 1 is trying to show her favor through questioning, and he has the intention of forming an alliance with her.
This is obviously because No. 1 has been frightened after learning about the situation on the island.
No. 3's heart moved, in fact, no one is not afraid of death, whether it is multiple alliances, there is a chance to live.
As soon as she thought of this, she scratched her hair and said:
"No."
When No. 1 heard her answer, he knew that she had figured out her intention to ask, and with a smile in his eyes, he asked again:
"Why?" To show his sincerity, he spoke:
"You also know that Number Five brings up the point of nature's food chain, one thing can overcome another, birds can overcome fish, and feces may make creatures with a keen sense of smell dare not approach."
He said that, but he put his hands around his chest and didn't move.
When Number Three heard this, he burst out laughing:
"That's what I said, but do you think that when the fifth mentioned this, why didn't he choose, but those people did?"
After this back and forth conversation, both of them had a general understanding of each other's thoughts.
"I'm afraid I suspect that No. 5 didn't realize this, so I said it in passing." No. 1 opened his mouth to say what No. 7 and the others thought in their hearts, and No. 3 curled the corners of his mouth:
"I don't think the Five is such a careless person."
In just two or three days after getting on the ship, he was able to find out Mr. Zhou's bottom thoroughly, analyze the task so thoroughly, inquire about Mr. Zhou's business, find out the identities of several trialists in this mission scene, and guess Mr. Zhou's intentions.
From her fishing conjecture to the following, when she was questioned on the seventh, she said what she should say for the task, so that everyone could prepare in advance, but what should not be said is afraid that it will not leak.
It is enough to prove that this person is extremely thoughtful and cautious, and there is no possibility of negligence at all.
She specifically mentioned that the food chain of nature is interlocking, and that the birds are the overlords of the sea, and the smell can make strange fish retreat, but she does not touch the things left by the birds, which is one of them.
Everyone has long known in their hearts that the trialists are all guarding against each other and stabbing each other.
No. 7 has the heart to calculate Song Qingxiao, and Song Qingxiao may not have the idea of killing this group of people.
"It's better to be careful." No. 3 said meaningfully: "After all, if the trialist dies, there are also points rewarded. ”
"That's right, No. 5 is a smart person, and there will be nothing wrong with following her."
The two reached a certain agreement through dialogue on the fly, laughed at each other and developed some tacit understanding, and finally entered the cabin.
It was the first time for Song Qingxiao to come in the cabin, and compared to the dilapidated cabins on the deck and where everyone lived, it was undoubtedly much more luxurious.
In order to facilitate the conversation, Mr. Zhou specially invited a group of people into a special room.
There are a lot of food testing utensils and equipment, and the surrounding rooms are thickened and air-conditioned, and the temperature is maintained at a very comfortable temperature.
The scholar-looking men came in and went to work, the smell of formalin wafting through the air, and behind a row of thick glass walls, the corpses of different creatures were soaked in some formalin-filled glassware.
This room is very large, almost occupying half of the hull, Song Qing glanced at it, and it was blocked by a row of computer hosts behind it, and it was not clear to see.
But as far as the current situation is concerned, her previous guess is correct, and the research done by Mr. Zhou is indeed related to the study of animals.
No. 1 and No. 3 came in last, and No. 7 and the others showed a smile that they thought they knew, and everyone looked at each other and let out a 'hehe' laugh, but they didn't explain the matter.
Number Three sneered and said in his heart: Idiot.
Mr. Zhou moved his fingers, Zhou Xueli went out respectfully, and when he left, he thoughtfully closed the door.
The sound insulation here is excellent, and as soon as the door is closed, the movement outside is almost inaudible, and only the scientists around are busy doing experiments and making some noises, and everyone is quiet.
"Since I have brought you here, it is equivalent to sharing my secrets with you, can you tell me about your origin now?"
