Number seven was frightened by his own imagination and couldn’t help but shiver.
The lights on both sides of the ground emitted a dim light. In the seawater blocked by the glass wall, more and more fish were attracted by the lights.
The appearance of rhe fish group after the genetic mutation was ferocious and terrifying. A large number of fish gathered together, providing a good condition for some big fish to hunt for food.
After trying to break through the glass wall to no avail, a strange-looking fish suddenly bit the fish that had hit the glass wall.
Its sharp teeth easily pierced through the fish scales, like a knife cutting through tofu, and bit into the middle.
The head and rail of the bitten fish were separated, and its intestines were scattered out. The fish tail was still swaying instinctively, and the dark red blood floated in the sea water like wisps.
As soon as it spread, it caused a commotion among the fish.
The few fish turned to eat the fish that was bitten to death. Blood and flesh splattered in the sea. Even though there was a glass wall blocking the smell of blood, this scene reminded No. 7 of the boatman who was thrown into the water by the strange fish that day.
Her face was a little blue, and her right hand was in pain. She instinctively clenched it and pur it behind her back.
The fish was quickly devoured, and the school of fish rook a fancy to the two participants in rhe tunnel. The sound of hitting the glass became more and more frequent, and as the weaker schools of fish were eliminated by the larger and more ferocious fish, the force of the hitting was much stronger than before.
The sounds of impact changed from the initial Dong, Dong, Dong’ to an even more powerful bang bang bang’.
The glass was still firm and did nor shake from the fish’s impact.
When rhe Zhou consortium first built the underwater tunnel of Changsheng technology, the materials used should be of rhe best quality.
However, song qingxiao was still not 100% assured. After all, the corrosion of the sea and the humid underground environment could cause a great impact even if it was a small change.
What’s more, even if the Zhou consortium had calculated all kinds of situations at that time, it was likely that they would not have imagined that today , more than a decade after the laboratory was abandoned, a large number of genetically infected strange fish would collectively attack the glass.
She gulped and instinctively turned to look at the road she had come from.
Due to the tunnel’s special structure, she could no longer see the laboratory that was previously lit up. She could only see a curved tunnel with dark walls on both sides.
If they retreated now, then this trip would be a waste of effort.
The main hall of the laboratory had been completely blocked off. There were no other safety doors in the other parts of the laboratory for the time being. It was possible that another exit was behind this tunnel.
She gritted her teeth and decided to take the risk and move forward. If something went wrong, she would retreat.
No. 7 was panting heavily. The sound of fish hitting the glass was a great mental torture to her.
She saw through song qingxiao’s intentions, and she had the same thoughts as her.
Number seven closed her eyes for a moment before she opened them again. The scene before her eyes was still like a nightmare. When she spoke, the corners of her mouth twitched.
“I don’t think we can continue like this.”
She suddenly opened her mouth. Her voice was unusually dry in such an environment. It sounded like someone was sawing a dead tree with a blunt saw.
However, number seven was afraid that if she didn’t speak now, she would be frightened by the ‘bang bang bang’ sounds, so she suppressed her fear and said,”
I’m worried when there are too many fish, she pointed to the glass, but she didn’t turn her eyes to look at the fish on both sides.
“The glass won’t be able to take it.”
Everyone knew the consequences of the glass shattering.
Song Qing squinted her eyes and sized her up. what do you want to do? ”
“These fish were attracted by the light. Turn off the light.” No. 7 gave his suggestion in a simple and crude way.
Indeed, she was scared when she saw the fish, after the lights go out, the school of fish will disperse sooner or later. Otherwise, this will cause a big commotion, number seven paused for a moment. “You all know what the consequences will be.”
Then,she added,”
“I have a flashlight. I’m not afraid of not having light at critical moments.”
Number Seven’s idea did sound like a good idea at first, but after careful observation, one could tell that it had other meanings.
She wanted to cut off the light source, probably not only because she was afraid of rhe fish, but also because of other personal thoughts.
Once the light source was cut off, the passage would fall into darkness, and no one would be able to see each other.
With the movement of the surrounding fish, as long as he moved, the invisible number three would lose the special advantage brought by his ability.
After number seven had shapeshifted, he had an advantage in the dark, as he could attack and defend.
After she said that, she took out a flashlight and held it under her armpit. She bent down and was about to cut the light band.
Song Qing squinted at number Seven’s actions. A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, but in the end, he chose to acquiesce to number Seven’s actions.
Under the effect of her mental strength, the darkness did not affect her much. The only person who felt troubled was probably number three, who was currently invisible.
However, she was carrying her suitcase and did not dare to show herself, so her opinion was naturally ignored.
There was a small groove between the ground and the glass wall, and the light band was embedded in it.
Number seven flicked his finger and broke the light band. The bright chip immediately dimmed.
The light around them disappeared at an extremely fast speed. The water behind the glass wall turned from black to blue. The eyes of the fish in the sea reflected a sickly yellow under the residual light. They were so dense that it was enough to scare people crazy.
A second or two later, everything returned to darkness, and the terrifying scene finally disappeared. However, the torturous sound did not disappear. On the contrary, because of the darkness, their ears became even more sensitive.
The three of them continued to move forward. In the dark, song qingxiao’s mind was highly focused.
She could hear the school of fish still chasing after them through the glass as they moved.
The sound of the seawater being stirred and the glass being hit was like a deadly curse, like maggots attached to bones, unwilling to give up.
They all quickened their pace. Two or three minutes later, song qingxiao began to feel her spirit running out.
The excessive consumption of mental power caused her head to ache slightly. The noise around her did not disappear, but instead became more and more violent, as if the strange fish hitting the glass was getting bigger and bigger.
No. 3 was still walking in front at a much faster speed than before. It was obvious that she was also running out of energy and wanted to leave this damn place more than anyone else.
The sounds of impact around her made song qingxiao feel even more uncomfortable. She rubbed her forehead to ease the discomfort.
Just as she was about to withdraw some of her mental power and control it not to release too much, her mental power sensed a large amount of mental power fluctuations in front of her. There was a great amount of it, and it seemed to be endless.
This situation was the same as the fish on both sides of the glass wall that refused to give up and leave.
Could it be that the end of the tunnel was also a glass wall that blocked the seawater, and a large number of fish gathered there?
The other side of this tunnel was not the other way to the exit of the island she had imagined, but a sealed road?
Could it be that longevity technology had spent a lot of manpower, resources, and financial resources to build this tunnel for decoration and not for other purposes when they first built the laboratory?
Song qingxiao immediately rejected the idea!
It was a businessman’s nature to pursue profit. The original purpose of the Zhou’s people creating longevity technology was to overcome the genetic problem and solve the flaws of the Zhou’s inheritance. The Zhou’s investors would not spend money for nothing.
The laboratory that she had passed by quickly flashed through her mind. The space was still considered neat, and there were no signs of destruction by mutated creatures.
It was probably for research purposes, and the glassware was more like a storage of biological specimens.
In a flash, song qingxiao suddenly thought of an important question. The research of longevity technology was mainly based on biotechnology, and a large number of animals were used as experimental subjects.
If the laboratories they had passed before were used for all kinds of research and tests, then where were the organisms for rhe researchers to study?
When they walked through the huge laboratory, they did not find the location where the experimental creatures were being held. The huge longevity technology would not make such a low-level mistake!
The English word she had seen on rhe wall before she entered the tunnel flashed through her mind. It starred with an unknown ‘F’ or’t ’. There were seven numbers in total, and the end was’s’.
Friends! Friends!
The moment this word entered song Qing’s mind, it made her scalp tingle and the hair on her back stand up.
She took a few steps back and did not even bother to hide her footsteps.
“What’s wrong?” No.. 7 turned his head vigilantly and turned on rhe flashlight in his hand immediately!
