Chapter 540: Escape

~6 min read 1,057 words

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

Upon hearing this, the soldiers' faces changed. Ye Su knew there was no need to explain. He directly wrapped one arm around Xi Lin, took out the disintegration gun with the other hand, and solved the soldiers in front with two shots.

Subsequently, 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 beaten into a sieve.

Ye Su hurriedly put Xi Lin into the armored vehicle. As a result, just as he turned his head, he saw a soldier holding a big guy. If this projectile tube came down, the special armored vehicle would be overturned.

Ye Su turned around and solved that soldier with one shot. Seeing soldiers covering their teammates to pick up the projectile tube, he solved the person shooting happily with one shot and said:

"The base is about to explode. If you don't run for your lives, it will be hard to run when it explodes."

Hearing this, the soldiers also looked at each other. They should take advantage of the fact that there were vehicles to run quickly; if it were late, they probably wouldn't be able to leave.

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

"Xi Lin, drive, let's go!"

"Ah, okay!"

Hearing Ye Su's instructions, she hurriedly started the armored vehicle. However, it was clear that Xi Lin couldn't handle this vehicle, and she drove the good armored vehicle with the feeling of a bumper car.

But also because of Xi Lin's operation, the soldiers didn't dare to intercept, fearing that they would be rolled under the car and crushed into meat paste if they weren't careful.

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

"Boss, what should 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 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 things 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 still need to teach you?"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers understood the officer's meaning. The officer had a flexible brain; otherwise, why was he the officer and they were the big-headed soldiers?

The soldiers boarded the vehicles one after another and drove outward. By the time everyone gathered, several disheveled refugees had already emerged from the base behind.

"Wait for us!"

It would have been better if they hadn't shouted; once they shouted, the soldiers ran even faster. However, the soldiers still left them many transport tools, but there were still people coming up behind, and there might not be enough to grab by then.

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

Xi Lin drove the car away, and Ye Su looked at the base with some heartache:

"What a pity!"

"What's a pity?"

Xi Lin 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.

Xi Lin could guarantee that the two days she spent with Ye Su were the most enjoyable and exciting times of her life. As a result, hearing Ye Su's words suddenly, she felt a bit surprised.

Ye Su found that Xi Lin'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 a bit sorry."

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

Upon hearing this, Ye Su immediately understood. The base's self-explosion should have been caused by 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 a mess. All vehicles that could leave had been used up. It was impossible to leave the area affected by the explosion on foot.

Everyone immediately wailed. Some began to be angry and blame heaven and others, some began to hate heaven for being unfair, and some even thought about having fun before dying. At this time, 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 it can't be driven away, relying on the sturdiness of the spaceship, it could 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 began to pack up the consumables needed for his experiment.

By the time Higgins came out with George and Peter, he found that people were actually running into the base. He was stunned. What was the situation? Wasn't it said that the base was going to explode? Why were they all running back?

Vaguely hearing the sound of getting on the spaceship in the crowd, Higgins hurriedly took George and the two toward the spaceship entrance.

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

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

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