Chapter 239: Self-Destruct Program

Under George's frenzy, several of Peter's subordinates were knocked flying one after another. For a moment, no one could stop him.

Seeing his subordinates being beaten back, Peter saw Dr. Higgins' silence as stubborn resistance.

The moment Peter pulled the trigger, he was knocked flying by George.

At this moment, George had become much stronger, and his body hair was very thick; he was almost like a gorilla. However, he didn't harm Dr. Higgins.

Higgins immediately showed a look of confusion, muttering:

"Atavism, but it seems his intelligence has regressed. Is this a success or a failure?"

Peter felt his internal organs had shifted. Enduring the pain, he picked up his pistol and aimed it at George.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

He fired three shots in a row. The recoil made Peter drop the firearm, and he struggled to breathe. The pain of breathing made the smile on Peter's face distort.

However, what Peter didn't expect was that George was silent for a while and didn't fall, but instead regenerated rapidly. The bullet holes were soon as good as new, but the bullets remained in his body.

Peter was stunned by this scene and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The team members behind him also started attacking with guns. Clearly, this scene angered George.

George roared and pounced on the security guards, setting off a bloodbath.

Peter smiled miserably and picked up a special mobile phone, pressing the button to call for support.

Higgins frowned, seeing George had beaten everyone away, and then looked at Peter, who had only one breath left. Thinking of when Ye Su came to find him, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his heart.

"What are you doing! *Cough, cough*"

Peter saw Higgins actually put him on the operating table and lock him up with iron chains. He immediately thought of George, who had been lying there earlier.

"Madman, you are a madman!"

Peter saw Higgins wearing gloves and holding instruments standing in front of him, cursing in horror. Adrenaline surged, and he even forgot the pain.

Blood kept overflowing from the corners of his mouth, and the color of his face turned pink. Seeing this scene, Higgins frowned and took out a syringe of serum from the console and injected it.

Peter also stopped cursing. His face distorted in pain, his body's veins bulged, and his muscles trembled at high frequency.

"Since you keep cursing me, I won't give you any painkillers. It just so happens you can provide me with some data."

A manic smile appeared on Higgins' face. *Sure enough, Ye is a good person. Finding experimental materials is actually this simple.*

Ye Su had just finished the battle, holding the limp, delicate body beside him, and looked at the "falling red" (virginity) on the bedsheets, Ye Su laughed secretly.

*I didn't expect this active, open-minded foreign girl to still be a virgin. In the end, she actually played dead and refused to do it again.*

Just then, the clothes Ye Su had placed on the table vibrated. Ye Su looked over vigilantly; it seemed he hadn't taken any mobile phone or anything.

Putting down the limp Celine, Ye Su walked to the table carefully and searched, only to find it was a box. He instantly remembered—wasn't this the intelligent crystal! *It can actually move?*

Ye Su opened the box and found the crystal flashing red light. Characters actually appeared on it: DANGER!

Ye Su asked with some confusion: "Why would there suddenly be danger?"

The crystal directly projected a line of text. Ye Su understood immediately and hurriedly ran to the bed to wake Celine...

Celine thought Ye Su was going to mess around again and directly reached out to refuse.

Ye Su hurriedly said: "Get up quickly, the base is about to self-destruct!"

Celine was shocked and sat up, but still looked at Ye Su with confusion:

"You're joking, right? The self-destruct program hasn't been activated, how could it self-destruct?"

Ye Su hurriedly found clothes for Celine and urged: "Hurry up and get dressed. It's true. Someone invaded the base's computer and is cracking the firewall left by the AI. Once it's broken, the base will be finished."

Seeing Ye Su's appearance didn't look like he was joking, Celine hurriedly put on her clothes, but she was still confused:

"How do you know these things?"

Ye Su had already put on his clothes and picked up the crystal on the table: "Because the base's intelligent core is in my hands. It must be that it couldn't contact the outside, so it invaded the system. And once it's cracked, it will trigger the base's self-destruct program, so we have to leave quickly."

Looking at Celine sitting blankly on the bed, Ye Su hurriedly found a coat and draped it over her. Celine wanted to get out of bed, but immediately felt the tearing pain from her lower body.

Ye Su hurriedly found shoes and put them on her, then carried her in a princess carry and ran toward the base exit.

Soon, the two arrived in front of the garage, which was also the place where Ye Su had come.

"What are you two doing?"

"She's sick, I'm taking her out to see a doctor!"

The soldiers here clearly didn't believe it and directly pointed their guns at Ye Su: "You're lying, confess your purpose."

Ye Su thought about it and understood—his excuse was too fake. There were too many experts and professors inside; if she were sick, she would have been cured inside.

"Self-destruct program activated, countdown ten minutes!"

When the soldiers heard this, their faces changed. Ye Su knew there was no need to explain. He directly wrapped one arm around Celine, took out the disintegration gun with the other, and solved the soldiers in front with two shots.

Then he rushed toward the nearest armored vehicle. This was like poking a hornet's nest, and a hail of bullets came. Fortunately, Ye Su ran fast, otherwise, he would have been turned into a sieve.

Ye Su hurriedly put Celine into the armored vehicle, but just as he turned back, he saw a soldier holding a big guy. If this projectile launcher hit, even a special armored vehicle would be flipped over.

Ye Su turned around and finished off that soldier with one shot. Seeing other soldiers covering their teammate to pick up the projectile launcher, he solved the one firing happily with one shot and said:

"The base is about to explode. You guys aren't running for your lives? Once it explodes, it will be hard to run."

The soldiers looked at each other when they heard this. *Should we take advantage of the fact that there are vehicles and run quickly? If it's too late, we probably won't be able to leave.*

Of course, there were still those who wouldn't give up and continued to attack Ye Su. For such stubborn soldiers, he didn't indulge them and sent them on their way with one shot.

"Celine, drive, let's go!"

"Ah, okay!"

Hearing Ye Su's instructions, she hurriedly started the armored vehicle. But clearly, Celine couldn't handle this vehicle, and she drove the good armored vehicle like a bumper car.

But because of Celine's operation, the soldiers didn't dare to intercept, fearing they would be rolled under the car and crushed into meat paste.

At this moment, the base's alarm sounded again, and the countdown had nine minutes left.

"Boss, what do we do?"

The officer looked at the departing armored vehicle and said: "The people have run away, what else can we do? Of course, chase after them."

"But there are still many professors in the base who need to be evacuated. Otherwise, if the President blames us, we'll be finished."

The officer squinted at the soldier and kicked him far away.

"When the incident happened, we all went to chase suspicious targets. When we learned the news that the base was going to self-destruct, it was already too late. Do I need to teach you?"

The soldiers understood the officer's meaning. *The officer is still smart; otherwise, why is he the officer and I'm the grunt?*

The soldiers got into their vehicles one after another and drove out. By the time everyone gathered, several disheveled refugees had already emerged from the base.

"Wait for us!"

It would have been better if they hadn't shouted. As soon as they shouted, the soldiers ran even faster. However, the soldiers still left them quite a few transport tools, but there were still people coming up behind, so they might not be enough to grab.

They didn't say anything more and drove directly toward the outside of the base. When the people behind arrived, they could only stand in place and curse.

Celine drove the car away. Ye Su looked at the base with some heartache:

"What a pity!"

"What's a pity?"

Celine was in high spirits driving the car. There was no one on the road in the middle of the night, and the armored vehicle was sturdy and durable, just right for wild racing.

Celine could guarantee that the two days with Ye Su were the most enjoyable and exciting times of her life. Suddenly hearing Ye Su's words, she felt a bit surprised.

Ye Su found Celine's mood was a bit off and hurriedly said: "It's mainly thinking that the warship might have been damaged by the bomb, so I felt it was a pity."

Celine smiled and said: "That's an alien starship. If a small explosion could solve it, then this warship would be too fragile."

Ye Su understood immediately. The base's self-destruction should be high-yield bombs placed inside, not a nuclear explosion. After all, the government still had to excavate and dig later.

And the base was already in chaos. All vehicles that could leave had been used up. It was impossible to leave the area affected by the explosion on foot.

Everyone cried out in sorrow. Some started to get angry and complain about heaven and people, some started to hate heaven for being unfair, and some even thought about having fun before dying. At this moment, someone in the crowd said:

"If the spaceship could be driven out, that would be great. Then we could all leave here."

"That's right! Even if we can't drive it away, relying on the sturdiness of the spaceship, it can definitely block the impact of the explosion."

Hearing that there were four minutes left in the countdown, everyone hurriedly ran toward the spaceship.

Higgins had just finished his experiment and gained another atavistic warrior. Hearing the countdown, he was also anxious and started to pack the consumables needed for his experiment.

By the time Higgins came out with George and Peter, he found people running toward the base and was stunned. *What's the situation? Didn't they say the base was going to explode? Why are they all running back?*

Vaguely hearing the sound of "spaceship" in the crowd, Higgins hurriedly led George and the other two toward the spaceship entrance.

Ye Su and the other two had just driven less than ten kilometers from the base when they felt the vehicle being lifted up. The violent explosion made them both deaf instantly.

When Ye Su and the other two came to their senses, they found the vehicle had run into the desert under the roadbed. Fortunately, the armored vehicle was heavy enough, otherwise, it would have been flipped over by the vibration of the explosion.

Celine hurriedly turned the steering wheel, and the armored vehicle drove onto the road with its powerful kinetic energy.
