No. 7’s backpack was still there, and she had a compass to guide her, so song qingxiao was going with her for the time being.
Perhaps it was a psychological factor, but song qingxiao always felt that there were a pair of eyes lurking in the forest from all directions, staring at her coldly.
After this delay, the clouds in the sky had piled up even thicker. The two of them were sweating profusely, not sure if it was caused by fear or the environment.
After leaving the forest, the sea breeze whistled past. Song Qing shivered and gripped his dagger tightly, not daring to relax for even a moment.
At this moment, the cold dagger gave her a trace of peace of mind.
No. 7 was still in his beast form, shuttling and jumping in the grass, maintaining a distance that was neither too far nor too close.
Her long black tail swung nimbly in the air, and the nails on her four claws opened wide, maintaining a kind of vigilance.
He didn’t look like a human at all.
She had been maintaining her beast form for a long time, so long that song Qing had begun to suspect her.
If the mutation of her bloodline was number Seven’s special ability, and transforming into a beast to improve her abilities in all aspects was her specialty, then was it because her strength was so strong that she could maintain her transformation for a long time, or did she lose control of a part of her body and temporarily couldn’t return to her previous form?
If it was the former, song qingxiao would have met a strong opponent in this trial and would be in trouble.
If it was the latter, then number Seven’s ability might go out of control for some reason.
When she was on the boat, her right hand was cut by a mutated fish. After she came to the island, her right hand had been wrapped in gauze and she had never shown the wound to anyone.
Song qingxiao had suspected that the creatures on the island had been infected, causing genetic mutation.
Could it be that when No. 7 was injured by the strange fish, he had already been infected by the ‘virus’ in the strange fish’s body, so there were some changes?
“Do you feel that something is wrong?”
While song Qingxin was pretending to be serious, number seven, who was on the other side, opened his mouth.
As she spoke, her cat-like head looked around. The furry ears on the top of her head trembled, and she arched her back uneasily, as if she was a little annoyed. “What do you mean?” Song qingxiao couldn’t help but ask.
Number seven wanted to say something but stopped. Perhaps he was on guard against song qingxiao, but in the end, he swallowed his worry.
“I feel that the laboratory is too far away from the forest.”
She didn’t tell the truth, but even if she didn’t, song qingxiao could already feel that something was wrong.
The two of them chased No. 3 all the way from the forest to the laboratory. They had walked at least three to four kilometers, but they had not seen any mutant creatures on the island. This was too abnormal.
Thunder rumbled in the sky, and sparks of lightning appeared in the thick clouds.
Number seven took out a bottle of mineral water from his bag. He didn’t have time to twist the cap open, so he stuck his sharp nails into the bottle.
As the water gushed out, she seemed to be extremely thirsty and couldn’t wait to open her mouth to catch it, even without caring about her manners.
“How far do you think it is?”
She asked as she swallowed.
The extra water splashed on number Seven’s face, and she showed a happy expression.
Song qingjiang took in her expression and his eyes flickered.
“They should be here soon.”
She had seen the situation at the foot of the mountain when she was at the top of the mountain. The laboratory was surrounded by a forest and an artificial River across the sea.
Although this half of the island was large, the cultivators were much faster than ordinary people. Without Mr. Zhou and the others dragging them down, No. 7 and song qingxiao did not take long to reach the Research Institute.
Sure enough, after about half an hour, a dense forest appeared in front of them again. The laboratory should be in this green forest.
Before they even got close to the forest, number seven stopped in his tracks.
Song qingxiao also looked up at the sky. The clouds were getting thicker and thicker.
According to the time, the group had gone up the mountain before dawn. After they went down the mountain, various things had happened. Number one’s death and chasing after number three had delayed them for a while. However, it was at most in the afternoon, but from the sky, it seemed to be close to evening. There was a depressing feeling that night was about to fall, and darkness might replace the light.
Under the hot and stuffy air, the sea water evaporated and formed a faint mist, covering the sky above the forest and floating slowly.
There was no end to the dark green forest, and the dark color made people’s hearts feel heavy.
this scene looks like the residence of a demon in a horror comic I’ve read before.
Number Seven’s throat was dry, and her heart was beating fast. As if to ease the slightly strange atmosphere, she even made a joke, but she did not get a response from song qingxiao.
She turned her head instinctively and saw song qingxiao bending over to pick up an unknown wild grass. She seemed to be looking for something.
“What are you looking at?”
Number seven asked as he took two steps toward song qingxiao.
“Three should have been here.” Song Qing pulled aside the grass that was half the height of a man, revealing some vines below. There were fresh traces of being stepped on.
“How do you know it’s number three? It could be a mutant creature on the island.” Hearing her words, number seven was a little unconvinced and retorted her. Song qingxiao didn’t bother to talk to her anymore.
Number three was a cautious person and tried her best to cover the traces she left with grass. However, it was precisely because of this that her whereabouts were exposed.
From the looks of it, the other half of the island on the other side of the mountain was just as dangerous as the other side. It might even be more dangerous than the other side. Although song qingxiao had not found any traces of mutant creatures yet, the creatures that lived on the island must have been like overlords by now.
They didn’t need to hide like this when they were in their own territory.
Only number three, who wanted to buy as much time as possible to hide from song qingxiao and number seven, who was ready to pursue her, would make an unnecessary move.
After number seven finished her question, she realized that she had asked a stupid question. She stuck out her red tongue and slowly licked her lips.
“Since we’ve found number three, let’s catch up to her and get the box first!”
Song qingxiao nodded slightly and stepped into the forest.
The mist in the forest parted slightly, silently wrapping around the two people who had barged into the forest.
Even though they had not encountered any danger before, that did not mean that song qingxiao could let her guard down.
On the contrary, from the moment she stepped into this forest, she always had an uncomfortable feeling of being shrouded in death.
The temperature in this forest was much lower than outside. Outside the forest, the sky was already very dark. After entering the forest, the dense branches and leaves on the treetops blocked even more of the already dim light.
The muffled sound of thunder in the sky was like a hammer to the ear. Suddenly, a flash of lightning cut through the clouds, followed by a ‘rumbling’ Thunder that struck down, causing the ground to tremble.
Number Seven’s expression changed and he quickened his pace.
Song qingxiao didn’t dare to stay any longer. After entering the forest, the light was dim, and with the upcoming storm, the two of them were inevitably affected.
About ten minutes later, the shadow of a white building finally appeared in the gaps between the trees.
“That place …” Number seven was overjoyed, it’s the laboratory!
The laboratory that Mr. Zhou and the others yearned to reach, which they regarded as a life-saving place, finally revealed the tip of the iceberg.
The Thunder above her head became more intense. The reason number seven was happy was not only because number three might have arrived first with the silver box that contained the evolution potion that she had been dreaming of, but also because the strange atmosphere in the forest had made her feel uneasy. Human buildings could finally let her tense nerves relax..
