The clanging sounds of weapons clashing could be heard from within the ruins. Number seven dodged quickly and tried to fight back.
Song Qing and Xiao Jing leaned against the wall. Hearing the noise, number seven suddenly cried out. She seemed to be injured. Song Qing’s expression changed. The next second, she heard the faint sound of the wind. The hair on the back of her neck stood up.
After the laboratory collapsed, it formed a sealed environment. Where would the wind come from for no reason?
She subconsciously tilted her head, and a chill mixed with killing intent brushed past her neck. The blade pierced the wall behind her with a clang.
The sneak attack was quite powerful. The marble wall cracked and some small stones fell. Song qingxiao raised her dagger and stabbed it at the man.
The man hurriedly pulled back his dagger to block. Song qingxiao was confident in her dagger. With the Sound of Metal clashing, the man’s dagger was cut in half by her Black Dagger!
Half of the broken blade fell to the ground, making a clear ‘clang’ sound.
Such a scene was clearly out of that person’s expectations. She had missed her attack, but she was smart. She did not continue to fight and quickly retreated.
Song qingxiao supported herself against the wall with one hand, bent her legs, and jumped up to kick out.
With a muffled ‘bang’, her foot landed on a soft body. Number three groaned in the dark, and the sound of her retreating footsteps could be heard. She knocked over the gravel and made a noisy sound.
No. 3 had come quietly, and No. 7 had made a sound. These two people were playing a double act. One was in charge of misleading him to attract his attention, and the other was in charge of sneak attacks.
Song Qing understood this in an instant and sneered in his heart.
When No. 7 heard the noise, she could guess that they had been exposed. She could tell that No. 3 had probably suffered a loss in the process of ambushing song qingxiao. She pressed the flashlight button, and the sealed laboratory was immediately lit up.
Under the light, song qingxiao subconsciously turned her head and narrowed her eyes.
Number three was lying on the ruins, holding a box in one hand to cover his face. Most of his body had disappeared. Song qingxiao noticed her position and rushed forward to grab number three’s body. Number three put his hand down, his eyes were cold, and he disappeared on the spot.
Her sneak attack had failed, and after suffering a loss, she had hidden herself in time.
Number seven was waving his flashlight around, so he naturally saw the scene where number three disappeared. A trace of regret flashed in his eyes, and he asked pretentiously,”
“Are you alright?”
“I’m fine.” Song qingxiao touched her neck, which had almost been stabbed by number three. The goosebumps on her neck had not completely disappeared.
Number seven was all smiles, without the slightest bit of guilt,”
number three is elusive. Be careful. She didn’t mention the evil intentions in her heart at all. She turned the flashlight again and looked at the ruins.
The first half of the laboratory collapsed, and some of the brackets from the ceiling that fell down supported half of the room for the three surviving trial-takers to move around, allowing them to survive.
The light from the number 7 flashlight swept around, and a large amount of dust floated under the light.
With the help of this light, general song Qing roughly sized up the surviving land.
After the house collapsed, there was not much space left. From the only supporting wall to the rubble blocking the way to the gate, there was only a distance of two or three meters wide and about ten meters long.
No. 7 was standing at the furthest corner, with his left shoulder and back pressed against the wall. He was paying attention to the distance between his right and front, on guard against any sneak attacks from No. 3.
The pillar of the house broke, the ceiling fell, and the remaining half of the wall made a squeaking sound.
As the strong wind outside blew, the sand and stones above their heads were still sliding down. If this continued, the remaining half of the wall might not be able to hold on for long.
If he couldn’t find a way out before the entire Hall collapsed, this half of the wall would collapse sooner or later.
At that time, the trial-takers would be buried inside. Even if their physiques had been strengthened and they could avoid the fatal objects in the instant of danger, it was inevitable that they would be injured, which would affect their mobility.
The mission had not been completed yet, and there was still a dangerous mutant creature lurking on the island. If he was injured, the consequences would be unimaginable.
He had to think of a way to leave this place first!
She took two deep breaths. The large amount of dust she inhaled made her throat abnormally dry and uncomfortable, but she couldn’t care about that at this time. She put her hand against the wall and tried to find some traces of a switch.
Mr. Zhou had said that a Research Institute was built on the island. The collapsed building was only the tip of the iceberg. The real base camp was not here.
The sound of stones sliding down came from above her head. Song qingxiao touched the ground and wondered where it was.
The wall was covered in a thick layer of dust. She stretched out her hand and made a long mark, revealing the black marble wall below.
The sound of bones cracking could be heard, and a crack appeared on the marble wall above them.
Number seven gritted her teeth and looked up at the roof. Her eyes quickly fell on song Qing. She was about to say something when she saw song Qing’s little movement pause.
Number seven pointed the flashlight at song qingxiao’s hand and asked,” “What did you find?”
Song qingjiang moved her hand away. There was a thin gap where her palm had covered.
This wall was made of a whole piece of marble, and there were cracks connecting it. There must be something wrong.
She wiped away the dust in the area, and sure enough, a piece of black glass appeared on one side of the marble, like an electronic screen that had not been turned on.
“This should be some sort of switch.”
Unfortunately, the power was cut off, so the electronic screen could not be turned on.
However, when longevity technology was first established, some of the energy sources had to be self-sufficient. There might be some equipment in the laboratory that could power it.
When the Zhou consortium’s personnel evacuated, they might have wanted to take away some of the equipment and technological achievements, but some of the basic facilities that could not be moved away would definitely be left behind.
Song qingxiao thought of Mr. Zhou, who insisted on coming to the laboratory. He probably knew more about the laboratory site than anyone else on the island.
His goal was to go to the laboratory, probably to get something inside.
Assuming that this place had not collapsed and Mr. Zhou had not met with any accidents along the way, the group of people successfully reached the abandoned laboratory. If Mr. Zhou wanted to enter the real base of longevity technology from here, he would have to find an entrance.
There was no obvious entrance in the laboratory Hall of longevity technology. It was obvious that the door to the real laboratory might be hidden in a place that the trial-takers had yet to find, and it might be controlled by an electronic device.
If song qingxiao’s guess was right, and Mr. Zhou was confident that he could enter this place, it proved that the lobby of this laboratory might have a hidden power switch control somewhere!
“Find the power switch!”
As soon as song qingjiang said this, number seven was stunned for a moment and then responded.
No. 3 was still hidden, and No. 7 had a flashlight in her hand to illuminate the area. She was carrying a suitcase and did not dare to show herself.
Song qingxiao and No. 7 groped along the wall. She was worried that the location of the switch would be buried by the ruins. Fortunately, a few minutes later, she found a lid behind the marble table on the right side, which had been half-collapsed by the collapsed stones. There were rows of switches inside.
She tried to puli up the switch that had been turned off. The switch had not been opened for several years, and when she pulled it up, it made a stiff ‘ka ka’ sound.
Song qingxiao didn’t know if she had found the right place. Seeing her bending over to feel around, number seven asked,”
“Did you find it?”
The next moment, there was a ‘buzz’ and the sound of electric currents came from all directions. The ceiling above them, which had not completely collapsed, flashed with electric arcs. The underground, behind the wall, and the electronic screen that song Qing had touched earlier, all came with the sound of electricity.
After the lights flickered a few times, they suddenly lit up, illuminating the narrow space. A gentle and sweet female voice came from the ceiling above, welcome to longevity technology!
