Chapter 231: Chapter 180-a bet (1)

The laboratory had been abandoned for many years, and the sound was not man-made or mechanical, which almost eliminated the possibility of the sound being an accident.

There was a high chance that it was a mutant creature, and it was even more likely to be the terrifying existence that had caused the insect beasts to go extinct on this half of the island.

If it was the one who had made the sound, was it a warning to the trial-takers who had intruded into its territory?

Other than the invisible number three, number seven and song qingxiao froze. They subconsciously held their breath and listened to the movements around them. They didn’t even dare to make any unnecessary movements.

The surroundings were quiet again. The ‘Dong’ sound they had heard earlier seemed to be an illusion created by the two of them under extreme tension.

Perhaps it was because the laboratory was dug too deep into the ground, but the air always had an abnormal moist feeling.

His pores opened up in nervousness, and a large amount of cold sweat flowed out of his pores. Every time he took a breath, his chest and back would stick to his clothes. The clothes were wet and cold with sweat, and every moment they touched, it seemed to form a heavy restraint, making the flesh of his body tremble instinctively.

Five seconds, ten seconds, half a minute …

After a long period of silence, number seven swallowed again. Before he could relax, they heard another ‘Dong’. A soft sound.

This time, the two of them heard it clearly. It was indeed not an illusion.

Number Seven’s swallowing motion paused, and he choked on his saliva. However, he forced it back and didn’t even dare to cough. He bent over and forced the feeling down.

Should they continue moving forward? At this moment, song qingxiao was in a dilemma.

If there was really a mutant creature ahead, moving forward might speed up the completion of the mission and end this round of trial.

However, if one knew that there were Tigers on the mountain and still insisted on going to the Tiger Mountain, the possibility of losing one’s life was also very high.

While she was hesitating, number three, who had been locked on by her spiritual power, suddenly moved.

Song qingxiao’s heart skipped a beat when she noticed number three’s movement.

Along the way, number three had been following her side at a steady pace, maintaining a distance that was neither too far nor too close. It was obvious that he had not given up on ambushing her.

Out of the three participants, No. 7 and No. 3 had been attacked by mutated creatures and were injured.

When a mutated creature was infected, it was likely that it would spread some kind of fatal infectious bacteria to its prey. After No. 3 was injured, she should have noticed something. According to her own condition, it was easy to guess that No. 7’s condition was similar to hers.

After the two of them were infected, there must have been some changes in some aspects. Number seven was injured earlier than her, so the changes should be more obvious. Therefore, number three didn’t want to plot against number seven. He must have been sure that number seven was much easier to deal with than song qingxiao, so he stayed by song qingxiao’s side after he went invisible, looking for an opportunity to attack.

After she was injured, she must have been eager to complete the task before her body mutated.

This kind of anxious state of mind could easily make people think of taking a risk.

In addition, her ability was special. As long as her ability wasn’t completely exhausted, she couldn’t be caught by the naked eye. At this time, it was very suitable for her to take the risk and spy on the scene ahead.

She didn’t know that her every move had been exposed to song qingxiao. If number three was the spy, he could predict the situation from song qingxiao’s reaction. This way, they would have more assurance when they took the risk.

Song Qingxin calmed down and quietly observed number three’s movements.

Number three moved forward and was ready to go down the stairs. Standing at the stairs, she could see more than song qingxiao and number seven.

She didn’t retreat and continued to walk forward, which proved that she didn’t see anything strange from where she was standing.

Song qingxiao’s spiritual power was not strong, and she had used it frequently after entering the island, but she rarely had the opportunity to rest. Now that number three had gone further away, her sense of number three had weakened.

In order to prevent number three from walking out of her control range, she also stepped forward, ready to shorten the distance between the two.

As soon as she moved, number Seven’s expression changed. He was shocked and finally reached out to stop her.

“Are you crazy?”

Number Seven’s eyes were wide open. He lowered his voice and shouted, his face full of disbelief.

She didn’t mean to stop song qingxiao from dying. If there were really mutant creatures and song qingxiao wanted to kill herself, number seven would be overjoyed.

However, she was worried that song qingxiao’s rash actions might be up to something else. Number seven was afraid that she had some kind of evil plan and would harm her. After all, number three was invisible and could not come out. On the surface, there were only two people, herself and number seven.

Number Seven’s voice was very low, but in this strangely quiet place, everyone could still hear him clearly.

Number three, who was walking forward, also stopped. His consciousness stopped, probably because he was listening to their conversation.

“What are you afraid of?”

Song Qing squinted his eyes and looked at number seven, what is it? I’ll only see it clearly after 1 see it. After she said this, she added meaningfully, “”I’m afraid there’s not much time left for the mission.”

Number seven immediately understood what she meant.

Mr. Zhou was cunning. When he arrived on the island, he claimed that he had to rush to the laboratory before he could contact the outside world through the satellite link.

But in fact, when they entered this place in advance, they found that other than some experimental equipment, they did not find any tools that could contact the outside world.

Even some of the power circuits had been completely paralyzed, let alone the computers that might have been used to store the information.

Entering the research room to send a distress message was just a lie. He should have left some backup.

At other times, he might be able to bear with it, but after he was injured and lost an important medicine, it was inevitable that he would send out a distress signal.

This way, once Mr. Zhou’s external help arrives, they will definitely find it hard to tolerate the trial-takers and want to exterminate them. This also means that the time for this mission is up.

After song Qing finished speaking, number seven was stunned for a moment. Number three also continued to move forward.

Everyone had to complete this mission and leave this place before the time was up!

When song qingxiao followed number three, number seven didn’t make a sound. After she walked for five or six meters, number seven gritted his teeth and followed.

After twenty to thirty meters, number three didn’t stop. The damp and unpleasant smell in the air became more and more obvious. Not only song qingxiao and number seven, but even number three, who was invisible, was much more cautious.

A few minutes later, the ‘thump’ sound was heard again. This time, it was not as faint as before. It was much clearer and more frequent.

The layout of the laboratory had also changed greatly. In front of him was a flight of stairs that was much longer than before. Below the stairs were no longer laboratories separated by glass, but a long tunnel-like passage.

There were lights on both sides of the tunnel, lighting up the tunnel. Song qingxiao stood on the stairs and could not see the length of the tunnel, nor where it led to.

The few of them seemed to be about to step into an unknown realm.. Once they entered, they would be betting on their lives!
