His heart felt like it was about to burst out of his chest, as fast as a storm.
The elevator door slowly opened at a very slow speed. Song qingxiao’s back was tense, and she held the dagger in front of her chest. She took a few deep breaths and forced herself to look at the elevator door.
She didn’t know what she would see when the elevator door opened, nor did she know if the creature that occupied half of the island she was worried about existed in the laboratory.
At this moment, many things flashed through song qingxiao’s mind. The unknown gave rise to imagination, and imagination brought fear. That feeling was difficult to accurately describe in words.
As the elevator door swayed and slid to the side, a large amount of cold air gushed in through the gap in the elevator.
Perhaps it was because the laboratory was located in the heart of the island, but the coldness was like needles hidden in cotton, giving off a gloomy feeling. It irritated one’s skin and made one’s hair stand.
The cold air was mixed with a strange and pungent smell. Song Qing couldn’t help but wrinkle her nose. The expression on number Seven’s face had changed from fear and caution to an unconcealed relief.
She happened to be standing at the side of the elevator door, so she must have seen the scene outside the elevator first.
From number Seven’s expression, it was easy to guess that there was nothing dangerous in the laboratory for the time being.
Ten seconds later, the elevator door finally opened, and the true face of longevity technology was slowly revealed to song qingxiao.
The dim light in the elevator shone out, leaving a long shadow on the floor tiles.
Compared to the messy and dirty lobby of longevity technology that song qingxiao had seen before, this one was undoubtedly much cleaner.
After getting out of the elevator, they came to a place separated by a glass door. Behind the glass door were several steps, and under the steps was an unusually open laboratory.
Even though song qingxiao had already prepared herself mentally before entering the laboratory, the moment she saw the laboratory, she was still shocked by the Zhou’s investment.
The entire inner part of the island seemed to have been dug out. From the echoes, the sound of the wind, and the endless darkness, one could guess that the laboratory was huge.
Within song qingxiao’s line of sight, the sky was at least ten meters high. It was a Grand and majestic sight.
Perhaps it was because it had been abandoned for many years, there were some problems with the power circuit, or the power switch of the laboratory and the lobby was not shared, but the lights in the underground laboratory were not on.
From the light coming out of the elevator, he could vaguely see that the laboratory was equipped with all kinds of cabinets, glassware, and research instruments.
The large laboratory was divided into countless sections by glass windows. Due to the dim light, it was hard to see clearly from a distance, giving the impression that the laboratory was boundless.
It was so quiet that even song qingxiao’s breath, which she had deliberately suppressed, could be clearly heard.
A few strands of hair fell to her cheeks and swayed gently with the hot air she exhaled. She picked up these strands of hair and cut them short to avoid affecting herself.
The two of them stood in the elevator for a while before they slowly walked out.
The moment they stepped on the floor tiles of the laboratory, even though song qingxiao and No. 7 had instinctively lightened their steps, they still made a small ‘ka’ sound.
After they came out, the elevator door closed with a screeching sound. The light inside the elevator was blocked bit by bit, and song Qing’s eyes slowly darkened.
Number seven resisted the urge to open the elevator door and put some distance between him and song qingxiao. He took out a flashlight from his bag and started to look around.
This should be a small lounge, with rows of protective suits hanging on the side, a sofa to rest on one side, a refrigerator, a water dispenser, and other things.
From the existence of these things, song qingxiao could imagine that when longevity technology was still in use, the researchers who entered this place probably had to change their clothes before entering the laboratory.
The protective suit was originally white, but it had not been used for many years, so it was covered in dust and had changed color.
Number Seven’s fingers twisted a corner of the clothes and gently rubbed it. The cloth turned to dust in her hands.
After entering the lab, song qingxiao didn’t dare to be careless. She activated her spirit power and covered the lounge with her divine sense. In the range of her spirit power, other than her and number seven, there was also an invisible ‘three’ who was following her at a distance of nearly three meters..
