I Am Cultivating in the Apocalypse-Chapter 916 - 1005: Base Self-Destruct? Escape for Your Life!
"So, you’re saying there’s actually a place in the Base that’s hiding a pink energy body? It’s used to suppress New Humans? This is the first time I’ve heard of this," Jing Shu narrowed her eyes.
If Tie Chui hadn’t mentioned it, Mayer wouldn’t have known that thing was with the second-in-command of the Base!
"Then get it back; it’s useless to ordinary people, but for Power Users, it’s definitely a deadly weapon."
Mayer wore a mournful face; they had better make a run for it because if the Base found out that the item was gone, the consequences would be disastrous!
Jing Shu accelerated; the last bit of supplies could be abandoned, but this thing must be obtained, as she hadn’t seen this kind of energy throughout all the apocalypse years.
...
This is absurd, utterly absurd.
Corey was the second-in-command overseeing military supplies; if the Black Robed Man was the leader of this Base, then he was the second.
However, the Black Robed Man belonged to the New Humans, having a special ability but an extremely unstable temper, thus Corey was dispatched by the organization above to specifically oversee the weapons and ammunition and to monitor the group of Special Ability Users led by the Black Robed Man.
He was also the former supervisor of the army, so while the Black Robed Man was the Combat Power champion, he was the logistical overseer of the whole scene, with a flawless defense plan that never had any mishap in the past few years.
No bullets were ever lost in the Military Base.
But he never expected that when they lost, they would lose all the bullets and guns of the entire Base.
What gave him a bad feeling was that Black Robed Man didn’t return that afternoon, only his subordinates came back. Mayer mentioned that Black Robed Man had taken the supplies to clean it around and then return.
Yet, he always felt something was off...
Now, seeing the already empty villa, what was left to not understand?
"Mayer, it was you, wasn’t it? You dared to join forces with outsiders and steal everything from the Base. Damn it, do you know what a frenzy Dila would unleash once she finds out? The guns and ammunition here were meant for Dila’s plan to take over the Middle East!"
The Base was already in complete chaos.
Jing Shu and Mayer’s group were immediately surrounded by Corey with the armed forces as they came up.
The Dila that Corey mentioned was their organization’s leader—a terrifying warlord with not only wealth and status but also a large arsenal; she was a renowned arms queen of the United States, ruling over many state territories.
Mayer’s pupils shrank. Dila... of course, he knew that terrifying and twisted old woman, but what could be done? His life was almost forfeit now.
"Give up the struggle. I have already reported the situation here to Dila, none of you will escape. Moreover, Lady Dila had long made new deployments to prevent Power Users from causing trouble." Corey stepped back after speaking, allowing the surrounding troops to move in. He retreated to a safe zone.
Then, he took out a remote control box, "You can’t escape, not a single one of you."
As he said this, he pressed the red button on the remote.
"No!" Mayer shouted, then said, "Hurry and run! This lunatic! He wants to initiate indiscriminate electric tower attacks! Even I can’t withstand such high voltage!"
But, it was already a step too late!
Corey’s button had been pressed.
Zzz...zzz... sounds erupted, and then nothing followed.
The electric towers that were supposed to discharge a hundred thousand volts within a range, electrocuting all living bodies around, now...
Did not react?
Corey: ???
He frowned, then pressed down once again.
Suddenly, Darline’s timid voice came through, "Lord Corey, our noble Huaxia Princess says there’s no need to keep pressing it, the wires linking them are here."
Corey then saw the woman holding a bunch of cut wires in her hand.
Corey: "..." He was speechless.
Mayer slumped down with a bang, truly being scared out of his wits, nearly thinking his life was forfeited.
The next second, Corey grinned menacingly, "No matter, you won’t escape. Die, all of you! None shall think of escape! Besides, with so much equipment lost, I wouldn’t stay alive; I’ll take you all down with me."
Jing Shu frowned, a sense of unprecedented crisis hitting her.
Mayer seemed to realize something and immediately exclaimed, "Madman, you’re a madman. You wouldn’t have reported to Dila, initiating self-destruct mode, would you?"
The surrounding Mercenary Army personnel instantly showed expressions of panic upon hearing this.
Corey nodded, "With everything gone, let’s blow everything up! In five minutes, where can you run to? Hahaha!"
"There’s no escape!" Snake Scorpion Woman and Mayer showed simultaneous expressions of despair.
Jing Shu stopped wasting words with them; initially, she contemplated seeing if any advantages could be reaped, but she almost lost her life.
No matter. Searching Corey’s place yielded no energy, which meant it had to be on him.
But time was short, and she couldn’t worry about exposing her strength. Anyways, as Corey said, who could say how many would escape here.
Five minutes?
Suddenly, massive globs of goo emerged all around, the Hulks forming familiar carriage segments, swallowing Collins entirely.
Sure enough, the Hulk recovered a metallic box from his body. Inside, were several small things resembling Hand Grenades. She could distinctly feel the energy fluctuations inside.
This is it!
The item in hand, time to flee!
The Hulk wrapped Jing Shu’s squad members and ran at once.
The sound of dense gunfire rained down behind them, but it was like landing on cotton balls, not even causing a ripple.
But now, everyone knew the Base was set to self-destruct, so regardless of anything else, they started driving and fleeing outside.
Luckily, Jing Shu had instructed Xiao Wei and others to escape first when the alarm sounded, so by now, they should be in a safe place.
The Hulk ran incredibly fast, almost rolling and scrambling, every cell exerting force.
While inside the Hulk, everyone suffered tremendously, like playing bumper cars, constantly tumbling and colliding.
Yet, no one dared to say much; every minute, every second, counted!
Five minutes later, precisely to the second, a massive boom exploded behind them.
"It’s over, we’re dead for sure. We’re all going to die; this self-destruct system was designed to ensure the safety of this small island."
"Running faster doesn’t matter; Dila won’t let us escape."
