The poison in my body has been eliminated and my strength is gradually recovering. Seeing that Jack showed no signs of anger, I found a corner to sit down.
Looking at Qin Lan who was still standing there with her head down and red eyes, I thought for a moment and said, "Sit down and rest first. The most important thing now is to think about how to get out alive."
Qin Lan listened silently, nodded slightly, then turned and sat in the corner without saying anything else.
"How do we get out?" After a long silence, I looked up at Jack and asked.
The scorpion was blocking them outside and there was no way for them to get out. If they went out, they would become its food.
What's more, even if they got out and killed the big scorpion, the door to the eighth floor was so high that they couldn't get up there without external force.
Jack moved when he heard this, but didn't say anything. It was obvious that he was also thinking about this problem, but unfortunately there was no result.
I moved my lips and stopped talking. After thinking for a while, I took out a piece of cactus from my pocket and frowned reluctantly, but I had to eat it in order to survive.
It’s so fucking hard!
Seeing this, Jack also took out a cactus from his pocket and began to replenish his strength, without looking at anyone from beginning to end.
Only Qin Lan sat there quietly with her head down, not eating anything and not making any movements. I couldn't help but squint my eyes.
I wanted to persuade her to eat something, but when I thought of what she had just done, my heart was blocked. There was a little gap between us. Although I just pulled the corners of my mouth, I didn't say anything.
This laboratory is not always lit. Unlike the eternal fire outside, it was pitch black when we came in. We found a candle from the drawer and lit it. Now the candle is almost burned out, and the room is plunged into darkness again.
Maybe I was too tired these days, or maybe my body, although recovered from the poison, was still a little weak, so I fell asleep leaning against the wall.
When I woke up again, it was still dark. I jumped up from the ground and looked at the beam of light coming into the laboratory. My heart started pounding.
The door of the laboratory is closed, so there is no way any light can come in. Now that there is light coming in, it can only mean that the door is open.
The door is opened?
"Jack! Qin Lan! Get up quickly, there is danger!" I turned my head suddenly and shouted towards the darkness behind me, then picked up an iron bar on the ground and walked out the door.
Jack suddenly woke up from his dream when he heard my shout. Seeing me walking towards the door with an iron rod, he squinted his eyes, picked up a rod and followed me.
But Qin Lan's voice was never heard from beginning to end.
I didn't expect Qin Lan to have a quarrel with us at this time. I turned my head to look in her direction and was about to scold her, but there was no trace of Qin Lan there.
Where is Qin Lan?
I blinked blankly and subconsciously turned to look at Jack, but I saw that his eyes were deep and I couldn't see any information. I could only give up and ask, "Where's Qin Lan?"
"Outside." Jack replied expressionlessly.
I was stunned. Outside?
There is a ferocious big scorpion outside. Isn’t Qin Lan looking for death if she goes out?
Thinking of this, I couldn't sit still any longer, so I stood up and ran out the door.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw the air was filled with a thick smell of blood, which made me feel nauseous. I suppressed my churning stomach and lowered my head to search the ground.
After a while, I saw the fabric belonging to Qin Lan's wedding dress, and my whole body couldn't help but stiffen.
Qin Lan followed us, still wearing her wedding dress, but the dress was too complicated and cumbersome, so she took off her outer skirt and only wore her inner garment.
Now her underwear appeared here, torn into pieces on the ground, and even her body could not be found. There could only be one reason.
That means she was eaten.
Unprecedented anger swept over me. I looked at the huge scorpion standing quietly in the middle of the hall with its back to me. I suddenly clenched the iron rod in my hand tightly, and then rushed towards it furiously.
No matter how bad Qin Lan is, she is still my teammate. I cannot allow her to die in front of me, especially in such a tragic way, and remain indifferent.
At least I have to kill this scorpion to avenge her.
Just as I rushed to it, its iron-clad body suddenly moved, then slowly turned around, and my movements stopped abruptly.
Not for anything else, just for those eyes that are too familiar.
The Scorpio Beauty's eyes, which were originally ice-cold and emotionless, now showed bursts of warmth, and even revealed a hint of a smile.
Such a look, such a look!
How much does this look resemble Qin Lan?
Suddenly, an extremely absurd idea popped up in my mind. I took a step back in horror, looking at the beautiful scorpion in front of me in almost disbelief.
"It...why doesn't it attack me?" It took me a long while to find my voice and asked Jack beside me in a trembling voice.
Jack was also silent for a while. He looked at me silently, looked at the beautiful scorpion in front of me silently, and then suddenly lowered his head.
"It's just as you thought. It's Qin Lan." Jack's words broke the last bit of hope in my heart.
It seemed that everything had an answer at this moment. Why did she refuse to plant the Gu? Why did she want to plant the Gu on Jack? Why...
Because she wanted to save him, to save them.
Perhaps she had decided to do this from the very beginning, so she acted so resolutely and without any regret or excuse.
"She came out while we were sleeping, allowed herself to be eaten by the beauty scorpion, and then took over the original soul in the beauty scorpion's body, and finally succeeded." Jack continued, his tone a little low.
Success? So this is how she'll be from now on?
She is so beautiful, but from now on she will have to live here forever with this ugly insect shell, right?
What if she didn't succeed? Would she just turn to ashes, without even a soul?
I have lived an honest life and have never owed anyone anything, but at this moment I truly owe this woman, the woman I once truly loved.
But everything has been settled. No matter whether I am willing or not, I have no other choice.
"You know that, right?" I suddenly turned to look at Jack next to me, my trembling voice filled with unconcealable anger.
That's right, he must have known it. Even if he didn't know it at the beginning, with his intelligence, he would definitely be able to figure out the strangeness of Qin Lan's behavior after calming down.
Even if none of these happened, he would definitely know when Qin Lan went out while they were sleeping and fought with the beautiful scorpion. After all, he is such a sensitive person.
