At this moment, not only song qingxiao, but even number Seven’s heart was beating like a drum.
Number three’s speed had clearly slowed down, and the smell in the air was getting stronger and stronger. Number seven should be more sensitive to this.
She turned her head. There was a light band on every step of the stairs. Together with the starry lights behind her and the light from afar, the place looked like a dream.
“Are we still going in?”
He couldn’t see the length of the tunnel, and he didn’t know if there was any danger ahead. The stench that filled the air was so faint that it didn’t feel wet. Even number seven, who was eager to finish the mission, hesitated.
Song qingxiao turned to look at her. She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she felt that number Seven’s face was darker than before.
She had been in her beast form ever since she had fallen from the cliff. The skin under her body hair seemed to have grown tiny scales that were evenly distributed and slightly darker in color.
This also caused her face to be a little stiff, and when she spoke, her lips moved like a fish.
A thought flashed through song qingxiao’s mind. She instinctively thought of number Seven’s palm that was cut by the strange fish and couldn’t help but feel a chill.
She had been infected by the mutant creature and was afraid that she could not hide it. She was worried that others would see her weakness, so she maintained her beast form.
However, from the time she was injured until the morning, her changes were not as obvious. Instead, after she transformed into her beast form, the speed of her genetic changes increased.
Did this mean that the use of the seventh ability had accelerated this viral infection, causing her to show more and more animal mutations?
At that moment, she felt like she was about to touch something important. However, before she could take a closer look at number Seven’s face to confirm her guess, number seven had already turned his head away and avoided her gaze.
“Enter.”
General song Qing suppressed the doubts in his heart. Number three continued to move forward. He had reached the bottom of the stairs and was about to appear in front of the entrance of the tunnel.
Since she didn’t stop, at least it proved that she didn’t find any danger within number three’s sight.
After saying this, she clenched her dagger tightly and slowly followed.
Number seven gritted his teeth and narrowed his eyes. Finally, he followed song qingxiao.
The further down the stairs, the closer they were to the front of the tunnel, the more obvious the ‘Dong, Dong, Dong’ sounds were.
The sound came from the tunnel. After being transmitted through the long sealed tunnel, the sound was amplified a lot, unknown and dangerous.
Number three’s aura stopped at the entrance of the cave. She didn’t go in rashly. Song qingxiao and number seven went down the last step and stopped two or three meters away from her.
Upon closer inspection, the passageway was about three meters tall and six meters wide. The ceiling was in the shape of an arc, and the lights on both sides of the passageway extended out in a winding manner, with no end in sight.
Both sides of the passage were inlaid with black marble, which seemed to be covered with a layer of fine water beads. Under the light, it reflected a crystal clear luster.
There was a rectangular object on the right side of the passage. There seemed to be words written on it, but it was not very clear.
Both sides of the tunnel were sealed off. If they wanted to move forward, this was clearly the only way out.
“Look at that.” No. 7 pointed at the rectangular sign on the top right of the tunnel, and song qingxiao walked toward it.
After she moved, number seven also moved over.
It was unknown what metal the sign was made of, but it was embedded in the marble and had already rusted. There should have been some words engraved on it, but with the passage of time and the heavy humidity of the underground, the words on the sign had rusted and become blurred, but it was still possible to make out a few English letters.
As soon as her voice rang out, it was as if she had been sucked into the long and endless tunnel. The banging sounds inside became more urgent, accompanied by a faint echo.”It’s F … Or a T? F.. Or a T? T..T.. T..”
The Echo was different from the one in the laboratory. Number seven was shocked and stopped talking before he could finish his sentence.
Song qingxiao stood in front of the sign, which was just as tall as her shoulder. The rust was not light, and the letters on it had almost fallen off.
There was a gap in the middle of the first letter, and only the last two letters could be barely seen.
The last letter was’s ‘, and the second to last letter was’ a ‘or’d’.
However, from the empty position in the middle, the words on this sign were about seven letters. She racked her brain for a long time, and number seven was also thinking hard.
The existence of the CI tablet could provide a lot of information to these people.
It was a pity that the sign was so heavily rusted that the words on it could no longer be seen clearly. Even if song qingxiao deduced that it was simply seven letters, there were too many similarities. She had no idea at all.
Number seven couldn’t figure it out either and couldn’t help but urge her,”
“Have you thought of it?”
Song qingxiao ignored her, but number three, who was locked on by his consciousness, was ready to enter the tunnel. He didn’t care about the two people’s concerns.
After she moved, song qingxiao hesitated for a moment before following her.
Number seven was still unwilling to give up, but he rolled his eyes and seemed to have thought of something. He gestured in the air a few times and vaguely drew a ‘3’.
At this point, number seven also thought of number three’s special ability and wanted to cooperate with him.
However, her performance was destined to be in vain. Song Qing caught her small movements from the corner of her eye and sneered in her heart.
They entered the passage one after another. It was very quiet outside, but it could not be compared to the passage.
The long and narrow passage here was a little depressing compared to the laboratory outside. The winding passage was like an arc, and there was no end in sight after walking in.
There was no wind inside, and the narrow space was like a loudspeaker, amplifying the faint breathing sounds and making them more exciting.
Other than the tiles on the ground, the surroundings were all paved with black marble, like a demon’s wide-open mouth, which was even more terrifying.
‘Dong… Dong Dong…’ The sound of the collision continued to ring out, causing the three trial-takers in the passageway to be unable to tell whether these sounds were the transmission of echo.
The deeper they went, the more careful song Qing’s steps became.
At this point, she felt her back go numb, but she had to force herself to move forward.
It was a short distance of 20 to 30 meters, but she seemed to have walked for eight to nine minutes.
She looked left and right, counting at the same time. She was worried about the situation in front of her, but also thought about the words on the sign. At this time, she did not hesitate to use her mental power and let it all out.
Number three was still leading the way, but he had slowed down. Song Qing looked to the left and her eyes widened.
After 20 to 30 meters into the passage, the walls on both sides suddenly changed from black marble to glass, but behind the glass was still darkness.
This kind of black was different from the black marble. It was thicker and deeper, as if one could not see the bottom at a glance.
What was the point of making such a change in the laboratory? A doubt arose in her heart, and she felt that something had intruded into the range of her spiritual power.
It was like a drop of water falling into the lake, creating a little ripple. There was no sound, but it was undoubtedly a stimulation to her.
Song qingxiao’s expression changed. She could not see any mutant creatures anywhere.
But where did this wisp of living aura come from?
The aura came very quickly, and it soon got closer and closer, as if it was only three or four meters away from her.
Her throat was dry, her hands and feet were cold, and her legs were stiff. The mental wave came from the left, which was the direction of No. 7. Song Qing pursed her lips and turned her head, but there was a glass wall beside No. 7, which was tightly sealed. What was there?
Number Seven’s mental power was already tense, and any movement would attract her attention.
She turned to look at song qingxiao. Perhaps it was because the shock on song qingxiao’s face was too hard to hide, but number seven also felt a little flustered. Before she could mouth to ask song qingxiao what had happened, there was a ‘Dong’ sound behind her.
“I…”
Number seven almost peed her pants. Her body trembled, and her long tail stood up instinctively. Her face was twisted in fear.
“It wasn’t me
