Chapter 179: Power Supply
The sound of 'clanging bells' in the ruins was endless, and Seven quickly dodged, trying to fight back.
Song Qingxiao leaned against the wall, listening to this movement, No. 7 suddenly exclaimed, as if she was injured, Song Qingxiao's expression moved, and the next second she heard a faint wind in her ears, and the hairs on the back of her neck stood upside down.
After the collapse of the laboratory, a sealed environment was formed, for no reason, where did the news come from?
She subconsciously tilted her head, and a chill mixed with murderous intent grazed the side of her neck, and the blade stabbed into the wall behind her.
The force of the sneak attack was not small, there was a sound of cracking from the marble wall, and some small stones splashed out, Song Qingxiao had already raised the dagger when he felt that something was wrong, and stabbed it in the direction of this person.
The man hurriedly withdrew the dagger to block, Song Qingxiao was confident in his dagger, and in the sound of metal handover, the dagger of the sneak attacker was cut in half by the black dagger in her hand!
The half-broken blade fell to the ground with a 'clang' sound.
Such a scene was obviously a great surprise to the man, and she missed the blow, but she was also smart, and did not like to fight, and quickly retreated.
Song Qingxiao supported the wall with one hand, bent her legs, jumped up and kicked out hard.
She only heard a muffled 'bang', she kicked a soft body, and in the darkness No. 3 snorted, and the sound of backward footsteps rang out, knocking down the gravel, and making another noisy sound.
No. 3 came quietly, No. 7 made a sound, and the two sang a double reed, one suspicious to attract their attention, and the other was in charge of the sneak attack behind the scenes.
Song Qingxiao figured this out in an instant, and sneered in his heart.
No. 7 heard the noise, guessed that the matter was revealed, and heard that No. 3 was afraid that she would suffer a loss in the process of sneaking up on Song Qingxiao, she pressed the flashlight button with a 'click', and the lights in the sealed laboratory suddenly turned on.
In the light sweeping, Song Qingxiao subconsciously tilted his head and squinted his eyes.
No. 3 fell on top of the ruins, holding a box in one hand to block his face, most of his figure had disappeared, Song Qingxiao found her position, stepped forward with an arrow, reached out to grab No. 3's body, No. 3 put his hand down, with a cold look in his eyes, and the whole person quickly disappeared on the spot.
She failed to sneak attack, and after suffering a loss, she hid in time.
No. 7 was shaking around with a flashlight, and naturally he also saw the scene of No. 3 disappearing before, a trace of remorse flashed in his eyes, and he asked hypocritically:
"Are you alright?"
"It's fine." Song Qingxiao touched the neck that was almost stabbed by No. 3 before, and the goosebumps that stood up on it had not completely disappeared.
Seven smiled, not the slightest bit of guilt:
"Number Three is elusive, be careful." She didn't mention the ghost fetus she was pregnant with before, and turned her flashlight to look at the ruins.
The first half of the lab collapsed, and some of the brackets on the falling ceiling propped up half of the space for the three surviving trialists to survive.
The light from the No. 7 flashlight swept in all directions, and a large amount of dust floated in the light.
With this light, Song Qingxiao took a general look at this surviving place.
After the collapse of the house, there was not much left, from the only supporting wall to the rocks blocking the way in the direction of the gate were only two or three meters wide, about ten meters long.
Seven stood in the farthest corner, his left shoulder and back pressed against the wall, vigilantly watching the distance between his right and the front, beware of a sneak attack by Three.
The roof beams and pillars of the house were broken, the ceiling collapsed, and the remaining half of the walls also made a 'squeak' sound.
As the wind blew outside, the sand and gravel above the head were still sliding down, and if this continued, the remaining half of the wall might not last long.
If you can't find a place to get out before the whole hall collapses completely, it's only a matter of time before this half of the wall collapses.
At that time, the trialist will be buried inside, even if a few people's physique has been strengthened, and the moment the danger occurs, they can avoid deadly objects, but it is inevitable that they will suffer some injuries that will affect their mobility.
The mission is not yet complete, and there is a dangerous mutant creature on this island that does not know where it lurks, and once it is injured, the consequences are unimaginable.
Gotta find a way to get out of here first!
She gasped twice, her throat unusually dry and uncomfortable from the amount of dust she inhaled, but at this time she had no scruples about it, and she pressed her hand against the wall, trying to find some traces of the switch.
Mr. Zhou said that the island was built as a research institute, and the collapsed buildings were only the tip of the iceberg of the research institute exposed to the water, and the real base camp was not here.
The sound of the 'rustling' stones above his head was heard, and Song Qingxiao touched it all the way, where was it?
The walls were covered in thick dust, and she reached out to wipe a long trail that revealed the black marble wall below.
There was a crackling sound, and a crack cracked in the marble wall above the head.
No. 7 gritted her teeth, looked up at the roof, and quickly fell on Song Qingxiao, who was about to speak, when she saw Song Qingxiao make a small move.
No. 7 aimed the light of the flashlight at Song Qingxiao's hand and asked:
"What did you find?"
Song Qingxiao removed her hand, and there was a thin slit connecting the place where her palm had covered before.
This wall is inlaid with a single block of marble, and there are gaps in the connection, which must be different.
She wiped the dust away from the area with her hands, and sure enough, a black glass appeared on the side of the marble, like an electronic screen that had not yet been turned on.
"What should be the switch here?"
Unfortunately, because the power supply was cut off, the electronic screen could not be started at this time.
However, at the beginning of the establishment of Changsheng Technology, some energy sources must be self-sufficient, and there may be some equipment for generating power in the laboratory.
When Zhou's personnel were evacuated, they may have to move some instruments and scientific and technological achievements, but some infrastructure that could not be moved must still be here.
Song Qingxiao thought of Mr. Zhou, who insisted on coming to the laboratory, and his understanding of the laboratory ruins should be better than everyone on the island.
His purpose was to go to the lab, perhaps to get something inside.
Assuming that this place did not collapse, Mr. Zhou did not have an accident halfway, and the group successfully walked to the abandoned laboratory, Mr. Zhou must find an entrance to enter the real base camp of Changsheng Technology from here.
There was no obvious entrance to the hall of Changsheng Technology's laboratory, and it was clear that the door to the real laboratory might be hidden somewhere that the current trialists had not found, and it was probably controlled by an electronic device.
If Song Qingxiao's guess is correct, Mr. Zhou is confident that he can enter here, proving that the lobby of this laboratory may be hiding the control of the switching power supply somewhere!
"Find the power switch!"
As soon as Song Qing said the words, No. 7 was stunned for a moment and responded.
Number Three was still invisible, and Number Seven had a flashlight in her hand to light up the place, and she carried the box, not daring to show up rashly.
Song Qingxiao and No. 7 groped along the wall, she was still a little worried about whether the location of the switch would happen to be buried by the rubble, but fortunately, a few minutes later, she felt a lid behind the marble table on the right side, which had been half smashed by the collapsed stones, and there were rows of gates inside.
She tried to pull the closed power switch up, but it hadn't been opened for years, and it made a stiff 'click' sound when she pulled it up.
Song Qingxiao didn't know if the place she was looking for was right, and No. 7 saw her bending over to grope and still asked:
"Did you find it?"
In the next moment, a 'bang' sound was heard, and there was a sound of electricity all around, and an arc of electric light flashed on the ceiling above his head that had not completely collapsed, and there was a sound of electricity underground, behind the wall, and at the electronic screen that Song Qingxiao had touched before.
After the lamp that could not be dropped flashed a few times, it suddenly lit up, illuminating the narrow place, and a gentle and sweet female voice came from the ceiling overhead:
"Welcome to Changsheng Technology!"
