The heavy, white smart door slid shut behind them as they left the lab, and the thick stench of blood finally faded.
C Luo looked at Lu Xiao. Her face was pale, and her once-pink lips had lost their luster. He asked with concern, "Would you like to go back and rest for a bit?"
He had seen Lu Xiao's vulnerable side before, and it pained him to see her forcing herself to stay composed now.
But Ban Lun acted as if he'd just heard the funniest joke. "She's so capable. Does she really need a break?"
C Luo's brow furrowed. Just as he was about to say something, Lu Xiao cut in, "He's right, I don't. Let's go. Stop dawdling."
Seeing that his taunt had no effect on Lu Xiao, Ban Lun snorted coldly and led the two of them deeper down the corridor.
When they reached the first lab at the end of the hall, Lu Xiao noticed that its heavy smart door was different from the others. This one was silver-gray.
Lu Xiao didn't understand the significance of the color.
