Chapter 167: Condition (1)

The experiment that the Zhou consortium invested in was not so much for the progress of all mankind as it was more to overcome a certain weakness in the Zhou consortium’s genetic inheritance.

The reason why he returned to the island was most likely because he had made an important breakthrough in his research. It was also possible that his body could no longer allow him to delay any longer. It was even more likely that there was a new discovery on the island that had lured him back to this abandoned experiment Island.

Mr. Zhou’s words were half true and half false. This way, it would be easier to convince people and use them.

Song qingxiao remembered the time in the crocodile’s nest when professor Yan and the others were excitedly talking about the evolution of the huge crocodile that knew how to play dead. She could still clearly remember Mr. Zhou’s expression at that time. He had lost his self-control at that time, and his eyes seemed to be shining with a thousand rays of light.

Song qingxiao did not understand that light at the time, but now that she thought about it, she understood that it was called hope. During the two life-and-death situations in the trials, if she had a mirror to look at, she would have found that her eyes had been filled with the same light every time she had tried to survive.

The evolution of the island’s creatures might have confirmed one of his speculations. The silver box that was locked to his wrist might not only contain experimental data, but also the results of the experiment.

When he was on the ship, the ship was hit by the huge beasts at the bottom of the sea, and they could die at any time. He would rather die than take the box with him.

If he was afraid that the box would be broken, he would not have let go of it even if his wrist was injured. In fact, this had already been proven.

The box contained his life-saving medicine that could improve and evolve his genes. It might be his only chance, which was why he treated it like a treasure and was willing to spend a lot of money for it.

Song qingxiao remembered professor Yan’s words. He had mentioned that the crocodile that had pretended to be dead had already shown signs of atavism. It had even surpassed its original genes and was evolving to a higher level.

Professor Yan said,”natural selection.”

“Among a pile of defective products, there will always be one that will stand out. After being filtered through various aspects and the environment, it will become the final winner and evolve to a higher level.”

When he said this, song Qing felt something, but his thoughts were quickly interrupted by professor Yan’s next words.

At that time, she had used this situation to think of God’s trial. In some ways, it was very similar to the theory of evolution that professor Yan had mentioned, and she had not had time to think of other things.

But now that he thought about it carefully, every word that the characters in the scene said had extraordinary meaning. Perhaps the trial space was using the words of the characters in the scene to give clues to the trial-takers.

“It’s natural selection. Among a pile of defective products, there will always be one that stands out. After being filtered by the environment and various aspects, it will become the final winner and evolve to a higher level.” Professor Yan’s words applied to the trial of God, and also to this trial.

Assuming that this trial was a journey of evolution, it was possible that the purpose of the trial was not only to compete with each other, but also to involve more people.

The participants, bodyguards, workers, and even Mr. Zhou, who was sick but very likely to have mastered some key things, were all among the competitors.

Those that were eliminated were defective products. The one who survived would stand out and be the only winner!

After the painstaking investigation, the fog was cleared, leaving only the truth in song qingxiao’s mind. At this moment, she closed her eyes and hid the desire and ambition in her heart.

“Three years ago, the Zhou consortium accidentally obtained a photo taken by a satellite and found traces of abnormal activity on the island, proving that our experiments back then were not a failure. It was just that we were in the wrong direction. After some adjustments, our current research has some results that can help humans achieve further breakthroughs and evolution.”

At this point, Mr. Zhou finally got to the point. He pointed to the used needles and other items that professor Yan was dealing with.

you’ve all seen the effects of the injection that professor Yan gave me. If you’re willing to work for me, after the mission is completed, I’ll give you a dose of medicine on top of the money I promised you. It will help you all step into the ranks of homo evolutis!

He finally said this out loud, which confirmed the initial guess of number one and the others.

Song qingxiao was not the only one who was suspicious of what was in Mr. Zhou’s box. If Mr. Zhou’s research results were as amazing as he said, the participants would naturally be tempted.

Compared to the money and other things in the trial world, potions that could improve one’s strength were naturally more valuable.

“This thing, has it been verified?”

Wolf one was also tempted, but he was still hesitant. The drug was still being developed and had not been tested on humans. He did not know if there would be any side effects.

Mr. Zhou was well-versed in the principle of persuasion. He knew that in such a situation, if he said firmly that there was no problem with the medicine, the people present might not believe him. Therefore, he laughed,

“No, I didn’t! These things are extremely rare.” Mr. Zhou licked his lips, in fact, this is only our theory. It has not been proven yet. The reason we entered the island is also because we want to extract the blood of some evolved creatures on the island to prove it with this drug.

He seemed to know that it was suspicious that he had been carrying the silver passcode chest since he escaped, so he simply raised his hand and said,”

“Even if the Zhou consortium were to use all their strength, they would only have ten, and they just so happen to be placed in this box of mine.” The corners of his mouth curled up, and the way he looked at Wolf one changed. At that moment, the head bodyguard subconsciously swallowed his saliva, and a hint of greed appeared in his eyes. Mr. Zhou curled his lips and said,”

this box is made of a special material. The password is with me. No one can open it except me. If you really use violence, this box may turn into a bomb and destroy the things inside.

Mr. Zhou’s words were probably a mix of truth and lies, 70% true and 30% false. Only then would people believe him without a doubt.

Song qingxiao believed him when he said that there were few research results. From Mr. Zhou’s attention to the box, she also believed that the medicine that could change human genes was in the locked box beside him. She also believed what Mr. Zhou said about the box’s password, but she didn’t believe what he said about the ten tubes of medicine.

It was hard to tell what number one and the others were really thinking, but at least on the surface, everyone believed Mr. Zhou’s words.

After reaching a consensus once again, the trial-takers were much more cooperative.

The group of white ants was originally the trial’s target. After Mr. Zhou convinced a few people, the six of them began to prepare to eliminate the White ants..
