Chapter 183 Military Attack

The machine was still roaring, and the air was filled with the bitter smell of medicine and the coolness of metal.

Lin Che had just packed the last batch of serum, and the cooling hatch on the production line had not yet been fully closed.

Xiao Ran was staring at the surveillance screen with a frown on his face.

Suddenly, a huge propeller roared from the sky above the base. The laboratory ceiling panels trembled slightly, and the soundproofing was not effective.

Xiao Ran leaned against the wall and said in a low voice: "Something is approaching." Lu Zhao pushed open the main control terminal. A string of red alarm codes jumped wildly on the screen, and helicopter images popped up one after another from the peripheral surveillance. Then, a mechanical male voice came from the gap in the window: "Listen, everyone inside, hand over the 'Eden Project Experiment' immediately! Otherwise, the base will be cleared! All personnel raise your hands and assemble outside immediately!"

The sound echoed back and forth, becoming more and more piercing. The red dots of the laser sights fell through the curtains, and the few survivors on duty in the yard did not dare to move.

Xiao Ran gritted his teeth and shouted, "The snipers are here, three of them, all fully armed."

Lu Zhao ignored him and turned around to unlock the door of emergency exit sk201.

Su Wanqing jumped out of the file cabinet, her eyebrows raised, and shouted, "Everyone stay where you are. Lin Che, turn off the lights! Tong Yin, hide behind the medicine cabinet."

The "scavenger" team led by Liming was originally outside assisting in sorting medicines.

As soon as the sudden sound of the helicopter passed, Liming was the first to change his appearance. He whispered to the two people around him: "Prepare plan number two, and immediately seal off the main entrance of the laboratory."

The team of "scavengers" at the door acted quickly, pulling out the submachine guns hidden at the bottom of the medicine cabinet and pointing them at all technical posts and Su Wanqing and others.

Li Ming walked to the middle of the laboratory, holding the communication headset in his hand and raised it slightly: "Everyone, the situation is different. I have been ordered to require you to hand over all serum samples and research manuscripts. Those who violate the order will be killed."

Su Wanqing stared at Liming, and his hands slowly reached for the computing desk behind him.

Xiao Ran and Lu Zhao exchanged glances, and Lu Zhao stuck it towards the cabinet door.

Lin Che stood still blocking the girl with the childish voice while simultaneously monitoring the situation in the outer corridor.

Han Xue did not approach the "scavenger". She just bent her back slightly and lowered her head, entering a series of commands in front of the main control terminal.

The USB flash drive was inserted into the host interface. She moved quickly, copying the latest data while using her legs to block the view of outsiders.

Suddenly two gunshots were heard outside. A military sniper shot and killed two patrolmen in the yard who were trying to run out.

The sirens sounded and the elevator platform kept falling to the ground, and the rustling footsteps outside the door became more and more intense.

Li Ming said in a cold voice: "Su Wanqing, I just want to ask one question, do you want a person or a life?"

Su Wanqing pursed her lips for a long time, and said in a cold voice: "Find the data file yourself. As for the serum, I don't care."

Li Ming nodded and turned to the followers on both sides: "First seal the safety door and control all the reagent cold boxes."

After saying that, he walked towards the exit. The two people beside him raised their guns and stared at Lu Zhao and Lin Che, preventing anyone from getting close to the key equipment.

Gunshots rang out outside the gate again, and special forces were ready to rush in at any time.

Lu Zhao squatted on the ground, quietly unplugged the spare hard drive, and entered the laboratory emergency destruction program into the main control interface.

He moved very gently, but gritted his teeth and worked quickly, setting all research records to be irreversibly erased, leaving only the emergency backup planned for the host cold storage.

He reminded Lin Che quietly, “It’s guaranteed to explode, don’t let them find them all.”

Han Xue synced the research data into a USB drive, stopped when she reached the exit, leaned to the side, and stuffed a small object into Su Wanqing's palm.

Su Wanqing tightened her grip, and with a slight tremor of her fingers, she took it back.

Han Xue didn't say anything, nor did she look back. She just walked slowly towards the stairs and was pushed by the "scavenger" crowd and disappeared behind the door.

Liming had already taken over the main mechanical area with two people. He pointed to the medicine refrigerator and said, "I'll take five of your serums, and you can keep the rest. Hand over all the data."

At this moment, the military special forces were divided into three groups and squeezed in from the main gate and two side passages, with clean and efficient movements.

All technicians exposed in the corridor were ordered to squat on the ground with their hands on their heads.

The sniper's sight was still moving towards the window, and any place without cover could become a target.

Just as Lu Zhao was about to close the last file cabinet, he heard shouts of killing from behind him.

Li Ming had obtained the serum and led the team to retreat to the back door. He grinned at Su Wanqing and said, "You guys have to figure out the countermeasures. The situation is already decided."

Xiao Ran had quietly prepared the emergency exit of the storage room. He whispered, "Su Wanqing, the back door of the laboratory, bring someone quickly—" Before he finished speaking, a special forces soldier rushed in with a gun in hand, striding towards Lin Che.

The girl with the childish voice was tightly protected by Lin Che behind her. Su Wanqing lowered her head and glanced at the USB flash drive that Han Xue had just inserted. There was a layer of password inside.

Lu Zhao closed the cabinet door and turned the command knob with his right hand to start the destruction system.

At this time, the "Scavenger" team took the lead in turning control to the military, but they were also wary.

Lin Che sensed the danger approaching, and the state of personality fusion suddenly emerged in front of him.

That part of Ye's consciousness suddenly expanded, he supported himself on the ground with his hands, and a layer of blue-green energy waves appeared around his body.

The tube of spare healing factor in his pocket rolled out a little and he casually slapped it into the palm of the girl with the childish voice.

There was a burst of machine gun fire outside. Lin Che forcibly pulled the girl with the childish voice back while waving his right arm. A translucent energy barrier suddenly appeared in front of him.

The "Scavenger" and military bullets hit it with dull sounds, but were all stopped without any fragments flying.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Su Wanqing pulled Lu Zhao to retreat to the other side and said, "Lin Che, take Tong Yin away! Meet at the back door!" Xiao Ran had already brought a backup team to block the pursuers. Lin Che was very agile at this time. He picked up Tong Yin and rushed forward, pushing the barrier back at the same time, dodging several rounds of explosive bombs.

The energy barrier became more solid, and Lin Che's pupils turned gold and blue.

His speed and strength became extremely great, several times faster than before.

The two bullets collided head-on, and the energy wall produced rusty sparks, but Lin Che was not hurt at all.

The girl with a childish voice was held tightly against his chest, her fingers tightly grasping the healing potion.

Lin Che protected her and retreated until they went out the side door and hid in the underground emergency passage.

When Su Wanqing and Lu Zhao joined forces, Lin Che's face turned pale, and the colors in his eyes gradually darkened. He staggered a step, suddenly knelt on one knee, and raised his head to gasp.

Lu Zhao rushed over to pick them up, and Su Wanqing moved Lin Che and the girl with the childish voice into the sheltered corner.

Lin Che closed his eyes, his body twitched slightly, and he lost his response.

The pursuers were getting closer and closer. The underground passage was dark with only the red emergency light on.

Su Wanqing looked at the USB flash drive given by Han Xue, gritted her teeth and put it into the inner pocket of her coat, then looked up and saw that the base had been completely occupied and the military had surrounded it from all sides.

Xiao Ran shouted: "Don't stop! We can't hold on any longer!" Su Wanqing looked up at the main building of the experimental area. Li Ming had already disappeared from the back door with a box of serum and some data. The military had taken over the gate.

All passages in the experimental area were controlled by the teams in less than a minute, and the sound of gunfire outside was getting louder and louder.

Lu Zhao hugged Lin Che and lowered his head and shouted, "He fainted. Su Wanqing, quickly check the USB drive. We have to cover them when we have time."

Su Wanqing gritted her teeth, hid the USB drive tightly, and led the still dazed girl with a childish voice to continue to retreat inside.

The aftermath of the energy barrier still lingered in the residual shadow of Lin Che’s palm.

Xiao Ran was the last one to leave, dropping grenade traps along the way.

The sound of propellers outside had not stopped yet, and the figures of special forces soldiers kept passing by the broken glass windows and the corridors of the main building.

On both sides of the top floor of the base, snipers were still using laser points to search for any people remaining in the building.

The scavenger team controlled the exit for less than three minutes, leaving behind scattered medicines and an opened refrigerator.

Lin Che fell against the wall. Su Wanqing lifted up half of his body and pulled him and Tong Yin into the deeper shadows.

Lu Zhao held his chest and lowered his voice: "Li Ming took away five samples and some research records. Han Xue also ran away."

Su Wanqing gritted her teeth and didn't ask any more questions. The rest of the people gathered at the last door of the bunker, and the footsteps behind them were getting closer and closer.
