Chapter 226 - 178-for _i
The marble wall moved aside, revealing the door behind it.
The door was about two meters wide and there was a button next to it. It seemed to be an elevator to enter and exit the laboratory.
But because it had not been activated for many years, it was covered with mottled rust.
As the marble wall covering the outside moved away, the thick rust was scratched and fell straight down with a ‘clang’, making a faint echo.
Fortunately, the elevator’s indicator light was still on, so it should still be working.
This was too lucky! Song qingxiao was both surprised and happy to find the escape door.
There was only a descending sign on the button. She suppressed the excitement in her heart and pressed the button with the handle of the dagger. The people from longevity technology should have stopped the elevator on this floor when they evacuated. After she pressed the button, the elevator door slowly moved to the side with a stiff creak.
“I’m so lucky!” Number seven couldn’t help but sigh, what’s the password? ” Seeing that song qingxiao had found the hidden elevator, number seven asked with a happy face.
She was a thick-skinned person. She had previously worked with number three to plot against song qingxiao, but now she acted like nothing had happened and asked this question with a smile.
Song Qing looked down on her. what do you think? ”
She retorted number seven with a neutral tone, so number seven couldn’t tell whether she was happy or angry. In the end, she laughed and changed the topic.
The elevator door opened with a ‘ka ka’ sound. As it moved, the rust on the door fell down from time to time. When it rubbed against the marble wall, it made an ear-piercing squeak. The door looked like it was going to fall off at any time, making people feel very uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the elevator door didn’t fall to the ground like song qingxiao had expected. After a few seconds, the door finally opened, revealing the scene inside.
The elevator had not been opened for many years, so a foul air and dust drifted in the air. Song qingxiao waved her hand as a fan.
The elevator was quite large, probably because they had to transport the experimental equipment. In particular, there were mirrors on all three sides of the elevator, which made the space even larger and gave off a feeling of emptiness.
The lights and mirrors were covered in dust, so the light was a little dim. The moment the door opened, dust flew up, making the inside of the elevator look gloomy and hazy.
The mirror reflected song qingxiao’s cautious back with a knife in hand. Number seven was also slowly approaching. There was also an invisible number three, who was hiding in some corner, waiting for the right moment to strike.
Although the elevator could still be opened, it had not been used for many years, so song qingxiao was still a little vigilant. She stood on the left side of the elevator and tentatively stepped on the elevator with one foot, pushing it down a little.
Seeing her movement, number Seven’s mouth curved up. He was about to say something, but who knew that the bottom of the elevator would creak under a little force. After a few steps, the bottom of the elevator trembled twice. It was not firm and actually tilted!
A crack appeared in the originally sealed space, and a large amount of uncomfortable rust smell poured out from the elevator shaft. The words that No. 7 was about to sneer at were stuck in his throat.
The sound of movement came from the bottom frame of the carriage, and it was unknown if it could withstand it.
Song qingxiao looked around, picked up a small piece of gravel on the ground, and threw it down through the gap.
The stone passed through the elevator shaft and occasionally hit the wall of the well, making an echo of ‘dang dang’. Every time the sound rang, number Seven’s heart could not help but Twitch heavily.
About a second or two later, the stone finally fell into the well and bounced twice before everything returned to normal.
Judging from the sound of things falling, the height of the elevator well below was at least tens of meters. The base camp of Zhou longevity technology was hidden in the belly of the island.
At this point, the only way out was to advance.
Song Qing took a deep breath, licked her lips, and stepped into the elevator.
After she was the first to enter, she pressed her back against the left wall of the elevator.
When No. 7 saw her, he hesitated for a while before following her in.
When she stepped in, the bottom of the elevator creaked, and the pedals shook. Number Seven’s face changed, and he held the elevator door tightly.
However, after the change in his expression, number seven still hesitantly let go of her hand. He followed song qingxiao and stuck to the right side of the elevator wall.
Now, he could only do his best and leave the future to fate.
There were buttons on both sides of the elevator, but the destination was only one floor. Red lights were lit on the left and right sides of the elevator. Once the two of them pressed the buttons, the elevator would go down.
Number Seven’s lips formed an ‘O’ shape, and he kept exhaling, making a ‘Hu Hu’ sound. He was clearly unable to decide.
After the two of them entered the elevator, the elevator door stopped for a moment and then closed automatically at an extremely slow speed.
Song qingxiao and number seven looked at each other and exchanged a look of tacit understanding.
No. 3 should have also entered the elevator. The three surviving trial-takers were once again in the same narrow space.
“Do you want to press?”
Song qingxiao extended her hand and asked when she saw number Seven’s hesitant expression.
“Press it.”
Number Seven’s tongue touched the top of his jaw. we’re lucky.
She didn’t know if she should convince herself or the others.
fortunately, I didn’t encounter any mutant creatures along the way to the Institute. 1 also found a way to escape before the Institute collapsed. I even got the verification…
She mumbled a few words, and the mirror in the elevator reflected the reflection of two people. The inner wall was slightly deformed, making the two people’s faces a little distorted. Even the slightest movement made the shadow seem like it was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. It was extremely terrifying.
“It’s too early to say whether we’ll be lucky or not.” Song qingxiao said indifferently.
The two of them pressed the button at the same time, and the elevator brake began to work. The steel wire made a ’ka ka’ sound in the process of lowering, and after a few seconds, it began to fall down with a ‘whoosh’!
No. 7 was still thinking about the meaning of her words when the elevator fell the next moment. She felt a sense of weightlessness. Her mutated face showed a human-like fear, and her hands firmly grabbed the inner wall of the elevator.
The nails scratched the board and made an uncomfortable sound. Fortunately, the process was very short. Before song qingxiao could frown, number Seven’s sharp nails had dug a dent in the inner wall of the elevator. His nails dug in and stabilized his body.
Fortunately, the time of weightlessness was not long. It was like riding a roller coaster, and in the blink of an eye, the elevator stopped.
Song qingxiao’s heart skipped a beat. The elevator door was already slowly opening.
With a ‘ka ka’ sound, the participant finally arrived at the laboratory Center of longevity technology and entered the inner abdomen of demon Island!
It was extremely quiet here. The sound of the wind, Thunder, rain, and the waves hitting the shore were all blocked. Only the stiff and slow sound of the door opening could be heard, and song qingxiao and number Seven’s suppressed breathing and rapid heartbeats could be heard..
