Chapter 99 Agreements

Song Qingxiao's calmness and obedience made Zhou Xueli subconsciously turn her head, and Mr. Zhou was also stunned for a moment, with a yin owl in his eyes.

When receiving Zhou Xueli's inquiring gaze, Mr. Zhou nodded after a while, and the dining car was pushed into Song Qingxiao's room, and several people followed.

The door slammed shut, and the bodyguard's muzzle was pointed at Song Qingxiao's head.

She guessed that Mr. Zhou would come, and the news of what he was going to do could not be revealed, this group of people came from unknown origins, guessed his business, guessed his intentions, but did not reveal the details of himself at all.

The strength shown by No. 6 before was something that Mr. Zhou feared, there were seven of these people in total, and if they united to resist, it was very likely that they would cause him trouble, so he was ready to break them one by one.

When Zhou Xueli knocked on the door, if Song Qingxiao hid without knowing each other, Mr. Zhou would definitely have murderous intent and try his best to kill her.

But she opened the door calmly, saw the bodyguards with guns, and invited them to enter, Mr. Zhou immediately realized what she meant, this is the real attitude of wanting to cooperate.

The bodyguard's gun was aimed at her, but I don't know if it was because of her own strength, Song Qingxiao did not show cowardice, but pursed her lips and said with a smile:

"The room is small, so I won't invite you to sit."

Zhou Xueli clasped her hands around her chest and asked urgently:

"Who are you? Who are you? ”

Mr. Zhou had asked No. 6 this question before, but No. 6 did not answer it positively.

Now when asked about Song Qingxiao, Song Qingxiao is also not ready to say it, but she is not like No. 6 who only emphasizes her strength, and expects to be valued by Mr. Zhou and cooperate with her.

Song Qingxiao didn't pay attention to Zhou Xueli's question, but looked past her and fell on Mr. Zhou, who had been silent, among these people, he was the one in charge.

"Mr. Zhou, the ship should be getting closer and closer to the island, right? Did your experiment on the island at that time have an accident and get out of control? ”

When she said this, she stared at Mr. Zhou's eyes tightly, the room was not spacious, and a few people stood there, and she seemed a little supportive.

The top of Mr. Zhou's head was about to touch the hanging bulb, and under the dim luster, his pupils contracted sharply when he heard Song Qingxiao's words, which proved that Song Qing's words hit the sore spot in his heart.

There was a brief silence in the room, Zhou Xueli grabbed the handle of the dining car tightly, the bodyguard held the gun unchanged, and Mr. Zhou's slightly rapid breathing matched the cold wind blown by the air conditioner in the house, as if the air had dropped a few degrees.

The atmosphere became more and more solidified, and the tightness in the air made fine beads of sweat appear on the tip of Zhou Xueli's nose.

"You should know that smart people don't live long."

After a long time, Mr. Zhou finally opened his mouth to break this terrible atmosphere, but Song Qingxiao laughed:

"I'm not a smart person, it's the person I talked to you before."

She alluded to Number Six, and Mr. Zhou smiled disdainfully, with some contempt in his eyes.

"How did you guess?"

"From the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky."

Song Qingxiao didn't hide it, and said his guess directly:

"If the experiment is still under control, this kind of infection that changes the genes of organisms should not be raging on the island and at sea."

She tilted her head, Mr. Zhou frowned, did not interrupt her, and listened to her continue:

"It doesn't seem like the situation at sea is a matter of a day or two, and the experimental site on the island should have been abandoned by you, right?"

Song Qingxiao was confused by Zhou Xueli's 'harvest' at first, and has always regarded Mr. Zhou's trip to the island as a research conducted more than ten years ago, and now it has finally come to fruition.

But the more she thought about it later, the more wrong it became.

Zhou Xueli is a person who follows the successful helmsman like Mr. Zhou, and can be reused, and her scheming and means should be extraordinary.

It was possible for her to say the wrong thing, but it was never the time when she looked relaxed and chatted with Song Qingxiao.

More than ten years ago, Mr. Zhou invested in a research project on a mysterious island in the depths of the ocean.

First: if the project is successful and the situation is controlled, this illegal experiment should be known to as few people as possible, with Mr. Zhou's financial resources and strength, he can travel by private jet and go to sea by boat, no matter how you look at it, it is full of doubts.

The second point is that Song Qingxiao determined it when he saw the appearance of strange fish and seabirds.

The project invested more than ten years ago could not see the light of day, and the establishment of the experimental base on a small island in the depths of the ocean was also in line with Mr. Zhou's intention to keep the experimental plan secret from the beginning.

However, after approaching the island, the surrounding creatures are supposed to be infected and have undergone abnormal changes, proving that the experiment is out of control.

The moment the seabirds appeared, everyone hid in the room, the deck, railings, etc. were damaged, and the door panels were smashed, but no one was killed or injured in the impact of the birds.

The old interior of the cabin contrasts sharply with the sturdy, new gates, as if the outer body of the ship had been reinforced before going to sea.

After the birds left, Mr. Zhou and his entourage immediately collected the traces and droppings left by the flock for research, all of which proved that Mr. Zhou was mentally prepared for the changes in the creatures, but the changes in these creatures exceeded his expectations too much.

When he entered his makeshift laboratory in the cabin, what he saw also showed that his experiments should not have stopped over the years.

Marine mutant organisms are rampant, and the experiment invested by Mr. Zhou more than ten years ago has not stopped, but the experimental address has changed.

In other words, the island is a lost place that was abandoned more than ten years ago, so when Zhou Xueli mentioned the time of the voyage, the original words were: "Mr. Zhou has seen the itinerary, and we will enter the island in three days at most." ’

If the experimental base of the island is still there, Mr. Zhou must have been going back and forth closely for more than ten years, and he should know the location of the island by heart, and Zhou Xueli's grasp of the time of entering the island will be more accurate.

The experiment was not abandoned, but Mr. Zhou hired someone to return to the place he had abandoned, most likely because the current experiment was not very successful, or it had hit a bottleneck, and it just happened that there was something on the island that he needed.

And this kind of thing may be the evolution of infected organisms over a period of more than ten years.

The workers hired by Mr. Zhou and the trialists who entered the scene reminded Song Qingxiao of the bait he hung when he was fishing in the afternoon, and he was afraid that the existence of himself and others would be the 'feast' that Mr. Zhou had prepared for the mutated creatures on the island.

The more she spoke, the more ugly Zhou Xueli's face became, on the contrary, Mr. Zhou seemed to have discovered something interesting, smiling and listening to her, but the killing intent rolled in his eyes.

Song Qing's these, of course, are not just to provoke Mr. Zhou, in fact, these words are just for her to prove to Mr. Zhou that she has the qualifications to continue talking with him.

"Is the biological mutation on the island beyond your expectations?"

She reached out to get the chilled champagne in the ice bucket on the dining car, Zhou Xueli subconsciously wanted to stop her move, but Song Qingxiao pushed her outstretched hand away.

"After all, after giving up for more than ten years, many things should have changed unexpectedly." The ferocious mutation of the strange fish, the powerful destructive power of the flock, and the skyrocketing body shape of the two animals are all different from what Mr. Zhou imagined at the beginning.

"You see, you've got bodyguards, you've got guns and ammunition, you've done a lot of work in advance, but you can't take everything into your calculations."

Song Qing picked up the champagne, and Mr. Zhou quietly watched her movements, interrupting her without saying a word:

"Before you even get to the island, these creatures you've created have already shown you that they are not controlled, so what do you do when you get to the island? Mr. Zhou, maybe guns and ammunition may not be as easy to use as you imagined, you see, I have strength, I also want to live, why can't we cooperate well after going to the island? ”

As she spoke, she did not use the corkscrew, but peeled off the tin foil seal, and the barbed wire was easily peeled under her hands:

"As for the fact that after the deed, if we are lucky enough to be alive, why not discuss the matter of identity and secrecy when the time comes?"

Her meaning is very clear, the two sides will cooperate without asking about their identity and origin, and as for Mr. Zhou, who is worried about the revelation of the matter, he will fight or kill, and it will be after the task is completed.

In the scene, cooperating with Mr. Zhou and others has a much greater chance of survival, and with less worries on Mr. Zhou's side, she can put more precautions on dealing with crises and stabbing each other between trialists.

As for the fact that after the task is completed, she will leave this scene, how Mr. Zhou will settle accounts after the autumn, it is not her turn to clean up the aftermath.

The suggestion she made was much more heartwarming to Mr. Zhou than the so-called empty white fangs of No. 6, and she also believed that Mr. Zhou was a smart person and would not refuse her proposal, and that having multiple free bodyguards when going to the island could improve some of the chances of survival in such a dangerous environment.

Worried that there is a problem with their identity and background, and that they are afraid that their secrets will be exposed, they can be cleaned up after the matter is completed.

Mr. Zhou's eyes flashed, and he actually agreed with her idea in his heart, but he felt puzzled:

"What's in it for you?"

"Actually, like the 'smart people', I just want to live."

However, No. 6 was too arrogant, and she changed her words to make Mr. Zhou more acceptable.

The air pressure in the champagne bottle pushed the cork outward, but she held it down with her hand and let it go in an extremely slow manner.

The sweet smell permeated the room, Mr. Zhou took a deep look at her, and finally laughed, and motioned to Zhou Xueli to take the wine glass from the dining car, Song Qingxiao poured two glasses, and the two touched each other, which was a temporary agreement.

Because of Song Qingxiao's words, Mr. Zhou dispelled the idea of wanting to kill, and his lips touched the wine glass:

"Indeed, we set up an experimental base on the island at that time, extracting the genes needed in the genome of specific organisms, improving them, synthesizing special DNA genes, and then injecting them into the organisms to make them genetically recombinant."

By now, he is also willing to mention some details of the experiment to Song Qingxiao at a deeper level, anyway, in Mr. Zhou's eyes, the lives of Song Qingxiao and others are just for him to keep for his own use temporarily, and when he wants, he can harvest them at any time.

"The purpose of this is to eventually apply it to human beings, so that human beings can break through the current limitations and evolve to a deeper level, do you understand?"

He mentioned this, his eyes lit up, and he was a little excited:

"If this experiment succeeds, it will be a worldwide achievement and a blessing to all mankind."

Song Qing smiled and didn't speak.

If things had really gone so well, there wouldn't have been any trouble later.

Mr. Zhou also realized the intention of her smile, and the boiling blood was like a basin of cold water poured on his head, and it cooled down in an instant.

His expression gradually calmed down, and he felt a little regretful:

"It's a pity that it failed."

Now it doesn't help to say this, he fakes:

"But now we have a new eyebrow, the biological genes on the island seem to be much more stable than back then, once successful, humanity will be able to take a big step forward, and then I and you will be heroes, and there may be no need to kill each other."

Song Qingxiao didn't believe what he said, but on the surface, he still breathed a sigh of relief:

"That's great."

After a polite exchange between the two sides, Mr. Zhou resumed his polite posture as if he remembered something, raised his wrist to look at the time, and made a somewhat annoyed expression:

"It's not early, I fell in love with Miss Song at first sight, but I didn't expect to talk for so long. We will go to the island before dawn, and we will ask Miss Song to have a good rest tonight. ”

Song Qingxiao naturally should have been, before Mr. Zhou left, she proposed to let Mr. Zhou temporarily let No. 6 and the others go, and Mr. Zhou generously gave her this 'favor' and promised not to pursue it.

She opened the door to see Mr. Zhou and the others leave, and as soon as the gun-wielding bodyguard left the room, the crisis was temporarily over.

After locking the door, Song Qing's meeting with Mr. Zhou tonight and what she talked about passed through her mind for a while, she pleaded for No. 6 and the others, not because she really wanted to cooperate with this group of people, nor because this mission required the so-called concerted efforts.

But until now, she has not really figured out the intention of this trial mission, and at the same time, Mr. Zhou is as treacherous as a fox, keeping other trialists, and he is also wary of each other with Mr. Zhou and others.

As Mr. Zhou said, the time is not early, this night Song Qingxiao did not try to cultivate spiritual power again, after going to the island before dawn, there are still unknown dangers waiting, she must face this mission in the best state.

Song Qingxiao forced herself to fall asleep, and since she entered the trial scene, she always had a string tight, which was not conducive to the next trip to the island.

She didn't sleep very soundly this night, but I don't know how long it took, but she was suddenly awakened by the squeak of the boat shaking gently under the push of the sea, and the unstable hull of the ship caused the wire bed to squeak slightly.

Before going to bed last night, Mr. Zhou should have instructed the people on the boat to tell the people on the boat to have a good rest, so as to prepare for going to the island today to recuperate.

I don't know if the others were asleep or worried or worried, but it was very quiet except for the sound of the ship sailing.

The laughter on the boat a few days ago seemed to have been a long time ago, and the comparison between the two seemed more and more uncomfortable.
