The second point was confirmed by song qingxiao when she saw the strange fish and seabirds.
The project invested more than a decade ago could not be exposed to the public. Building the experimental base on a small island deep in the ocean was in line with Mr. Zhou’s intention to keep the experimental plan confidential from the beginning.
However, as they approached the island, the surrounding creatures should have been infected and mutated, proving that the experiment had gone out of control.
The moment the flock of seabirds appeared, everyone hid in their rooms. The deck, handrails, and other things were destroyed, and the door was knocked down, but no one was injured by the impact of the flock of seabirds.
The old interior of the cabin formed a sharp contrast with the strong and new door, as if the ship’s exterior had been reinforced before the sea.
After the flock of birds left, Mr. Zhou and his team immediately collected the traces and feces left by the birds for research. All of this proved that Mr. Zhou had a certain psychological preparation for the changes in the creatures, but the changes in these creatures were far beyond his expectations.
When he entered his temporary laboratory in the cabin, he saw everything. It also meant that his experiments had not stopped all these years.
The mutated marine creatures were wreaking havoc. The experiment that Mr. Zhou invested in more than a decade ago had not stopped, but the location of the experiment had changed.
In other words, the island was a lost land that had been abandoned more than ten years ago, so when Zhou xueli mentioned the time of the voyage, her original words were: “Mr. Zhou has seen the itinerary. We’ll be entering the island in three days at most.”
If the island’s experimental base was still there, Mr. Zhou must have been going back and forth frequently in the past ten years. He should have memorized the island’s location by heart, and Zhou xueli would also have a more accurate grasp of the time to enter the island.
The experimental project had not been abandoned, but Mr. Zhou had hired someone to return to the place he had abandoned. It was very likely that the current experiment was not very successful, or he had encountered a bottleneck, and the island just happened to have something he needed.
And this kind of thing could be the evolution of the infected creature in more than a decade.
The workers hired by Mr. Zhou and the participants who entered the scenario reminded song qingxiao of the bait she had hung up when she was fishing in the afternoon. She was afraid that their presence would be a ‘feast’ prepared by Mr. Zhou for the mutated creatures on the island.
The more she said, the uglier Zhou xuli’s expression became. On the contrary, Mr. Zhou seemed to have found something interesting. He listened to her with a smile, but his eyes were full of killing intent.
Of course, song qingxiao’s words were not just to anger Mr. Zhou. In fact, she was just trying to prove to Mr. Zhou that she had the right to continue the conversation.
“The mutation of the creatures on the island, is it beyond your expectations?”
She reached out to take the champagne that was in the ice bucket on the dining cart. Zhou xueli subconsciously wanted to stop her, but song qingxiao pushed her hand away.
after all, this place has been abandoned for more than ten years. Many things should have changed beyond your expectations. The ferocious mutation of the strange fish, the destructive power of the birds, and the sudden increase in size of the two animals were all different from what Mr. Zhou had imagined.
you see, you’ve prepared bodyguards, guns, and ammunition, and done a lot of work in advance, but you can’t control everything in your plan.
Song Qing picked up the glass of champagne. Mr. Zhou watched her quietly and did not interrupt her.
“We haven’t even reached the island yet, but these creatures you’ve created have already shown you that they’re out of your control. What do you do after you get on the island? Mr. Zhou, maybe guns and ammunition aren’t as useful as you think. You see, 1 have the strength and I want to live. Why can’t we work together properly after we get on the island?”
As she spoke, she didn’t use a bottle opener. Instead, she removed the tin foil, and the barbed wire was easily removed.
“As for after the matter is over, if we are lucky enough to survive, why don’t we talk about our identities and keeping it a secret then?”
Her meaning was very clear. The two sides would cooperate without asking about their identities. As for Mr. Zhou’s worry that the matter would be exposed, he would only fight or kill them after the mission was completed.
In the scenario, if she cooperated with Mr. Zhou and the others, her chances of survival would be much higher. Without Mr. Zhou’s worries, she could be more on guard against crises and the participants stabbing each other in the back.
As for how Mr. Zhou wanted to settle the score after the mission was completed, it was not up to her to deal with the aftermath..
