Chapter 1372 - Destroy the Place
Chapter 1372: Destroy the Place
“What happened?”
“What’s going on?”
“What’s happening?”
People gave a start upon hearing the alarm, and then panic grew and spread. They were in a secret, special experimental base after all. They could all die there!
Also…
Many automatically ran toward the exit when they heard the alarm. However, the doors at the exits soon closed loudly one after another, and then the doors of each experimental zone shut as well, locking in the ones who didn’t manage to get out.
“No!”
“No…”
Watching the doors close, all who failed to get out burst in despairing screams. They threw themselves onto the doors and pushed the opening buttons as hard as they could. However, those metal doors remained closed without moving even an inch.
Professor Bai, who was doing his experiment with composure, also changed the look on his face slightly when the alarm went off. He reacted fast though. Before the others, he rushed out of the door of his lab, and only until he made the move did the others realize what was happening. So, they immediately followed Professor Bai out, their faces distorted by panic.
By the time they ran out, the doors of each experimental zone had closed already. However, that could not stop Professor Bai from leaving. He swiped his badge in the electronic door lock and then the door opened. After he went out, the door closed itself again.
“Professor! Professor! Wait for us! Professor! Professor!” His assistants who came out a step behind watched Professor Bai leave without looking back. He ignored those people who were scratching the door and howling with despair.
After releasing the dark fire, Lin Qiao quickly ran up to the second floor and set that place on fire too. After that, she turned and ran to the first floor, where she found the door of the fire escape closed.
She wasn’t surprised though. After all, the entire alarm system was ringing. Anyhow, the door could never stop her. She made it disappear by conveniently raising a hand and throwing a flake of dark fire on it.
“Roarrrr…” Apart from the alarm which was still ringing, a series of beast roars could also be heard from the second floor underground.
Lin Qiao came to the first floor underground and found many doors closed. She assumed that the same thing had happened on the other two floors as well. However, in her dark fire raged and vanished those doors soon .
After entering the first floor underground, she threw out a few streams of dark fire instead of heading straight out, causing the fire to burn out the doors on that floor. She had noticed that all researchers on that floor were actually commoners, and none of them possessed any superpowers. The vibes of superpower possessors could only be sensed from the soldiers who had been guarding the place.
Lin Qiao didn’t want to waste time finding out if those people were working there willingly or not. She guessed that many low-grade researchers who worked in the experimental base didn’t even know what kind of projects had been going on in that place.
All she wanted was to destroy the place first and then kill Professor Bai, who actually had the guts to work with Si Kongchen. Whatever project he was working on, she did not intend to let him live. He was working together with Si Kongchen and planning to attack Sea City Base and All Beings Base. That sole fact could make a good enough reason for her to end his life.
Also, that old man had some special abilities. Letting him run would probably lead to some bad results.
Professor Bai left behind his assistants and returned to his office using his badge without difficulties. Instead of leaving immediately, he calmly went back to his office to fetch some important materials.
He knew it would take some time for the system to initiate the self-destruction of the base. He had no time to think about what triggered the alarm. The alarm was telling him that he needed to leave as soon as he could, because the place would start to destroy itself soon, and everything in there would be gone.
He invested seven years in that experimental base. It hurt him to watch it tear itself apart, but he still considered his own life more important. That was why he stayed so calm and went back to his office to collect some important materials before leaving.
However, he almost vomited blood when he got back into his office and found out what had happened there.
His desk and his file cabinet were both wiped clean!
He first froze with surprise and then suddenly had the look on his face change as something crossed his mind. Next, he rushed to his seat and looked down. The entrance leading to the space underneath his office was wide open, indicating that some intruder had paid a visit to that place.
He went down the stairs with a bad feeling and found the few file cabinets down there all empty. Finally, he couldn’t help but pop his eyes, raise his head, and burst in a raging roar.
“Ah…! Who did this!”
The extreme anger generated an impulse of violence and he suddenly swung an arm toward the secret space. As a while light flashed across the place, all jars in there were frozen within a blink.
As he swung his arm again, those frozen jars shattered.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After everything in the place fell into frozen pieces, Professor Bai turned and rushed up the stairs, out of the door of his office. By the door, he stopped moving and looked around, and then he turned and rushed in one direction.
He quickly ran to the door and opened it using his badge. Behind the door was a monitor room with no one in it. The entire room was filled with monitor screens.
Professor Bai first let a device scan his palms and fingers a few times. Then, he sat down before the computer in the middle of the room and started watching the surveillance video. He opened his eyes wide and watched the videos carefully.
He saw nothing but pure darkness in the second and third floors underground. But, from the surveillance videos earlier, he saw a stream of dark fire surge into each experimental zone.
“Dark fire? Dark fire… It’s that woman!” Seeing the dark fire, Professor Bai first paused briefly and then thought of Lin Qiao from All Beings Base. “She didn’t die? She got out!” he said to himself in shock.
“Yeah, I got out.” A cold female voice was heard from behind him.
Professor Bai immediately turned back and saw a long-haired woman leaning on the door frame with her arms folded, looking at him with a smile.
“It’s you!” Professor Bai stood up at the sight of Lin Qiao as he swiftly swung an arm toward her a few times, sending a few beams of white light toward her.
Lin Qiao dodged; where she was standing before was immediately covered in ice, and then the ice exploded.
At that very moment, Professor Bai turned around and lunged to the side, pushing on the wall with both hands. A door emerged along with his movement, spinning and bringing him to the other side of the wall.
