"Xiaoting, let's go, we should head back!"

With these findings, the X Secret Labs exploration is complete, and it's time to leave.

"Okay, Brother Lei!"

Ye Lei held Xiuxiu tightly and quickly walked out of the storage room.

Just then, a series of dense and heavy footsteps came from afar, as if the ground was trembling slightly. Clearly, the soldiers had been waiting outside for a long time, but had not seen anyone. Finally, they could no longer contain themselves and rushed in.

"quick!"

Ye Lei roared in a low voice and rushed towards the lounge with lightning speed. He pushed open the two dilapidated wooden doors and saw that the people inside were already anxious and wished they could rush out immediately.

Without hesitation, Ye Lei took out his lightsaber again, and with a swift stroke, severed the thick iron chain on the gate.

However, before he could open this last barrier for everyone, the crowd inside could no longer contain their excitement and tore the door open on their own.

Ye Lei nimbly dodged to the side, secretly relieved that he hadn't been knocked down by the surging crowd. Sure enough, the group rushed outwards like a flood bursting its banks.

A full minute passed before all forty or fifty people poured out, leaving the once crowded lounge completely empty.

Looking at the empty room before him, Ye Lei smiled with relief. With so many people escaping and creating chaos, escaping shouldn't be a problem.

He manipulated the bloodthirsty bats that were parked outside, sending them to the exit to relentlessly harass the soldiers, ensuring that everything would be foolproof.

Just then, as the three reached the corner, they suddenly heard the major shout at the top of his lungs, "Quickly! Quickly grab those escapees, but remember, don't shoot! Capture them alive!"

These people were carefully selected from among the many survivors. If they couldn't capture them alive, wouldn't all their previous efforts have been in vain?

Ye Lei calmly followed behind the group, inching his way toward the door they had come from.

He had to be extremely careful at this moment and absolutely could not attract the attention of those soldiers. Otherwise, if he were discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable. They would definitely try every means to capture them first.

However, Ye Lei's worries were completely unnecessary, because at this moment, the soldiers were already too busy to take care of themselves.

After all, these survivors have endured humiliation for too long. They finally have a perfect opportunity to escape their predicament, so why would they easily fall into the enemy's hands again?

Some of the survivors possessed incredible strength, and it was unclear whether they were awakening supernatural abilities or experiencing a burst of power. Even two people couldn't quite catch them. Furthermore, there were more survivors than soldiers, so the team was overwhelmed.

"Major, a giant mutated bat has flown in at the gate and is harassing us. What should we do?"

A soldier's voice came from outside, which was of course the bloodthirsty bat controlled by Ye Lei.

"Beat it! Kill it!"

The major, his face grim, angrily issued the order. He couldn't understand how such a serious incident could have happened in this laboratory, which should have been foolproof and strictly confidential!

As the survivors rushed and shoved each other in a panic, the crowd began to move uncontrollably toward the exit.

Ye Lei's eyes were fixed on the door that was so close at hand, and a sense of joy welled up in his heart: in just about three more minutes, they would be out of danger and leave safely.

Just as they reached the door and were about to push it open, which was their lifeline, the major in the distance suddenly noticed them.

The major's eyes widened, and he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Who's inside? Stop right there! Don't you dare run away!"

However, at this moment, Ye Lei had no time to pay attention to the major's shouts and warnings. Without hesitation, he pulled open the door, pushed Xiuxiu and Tang Xiaoting out of the door, and then quickly slipped out himself, slamming the door shut behind him.

Almost at the same time, a series of hurried and heavy footsteps came from behind, clearly the angry major had caught up.

Ye Lei dared not delay for a moment, and used all his strength to press against the door. He heard a series of dull thuds as the major was desperately pounding on the wooden door.

"You guys go up there quickly, I'm coming right away!"

Ye Lei shouted to Xiuxiu and Tang Xiaoting, telling them to hurry up the narrow steps because he couldn't leave for the time being and had to barricade the door shut.

"Listen up, you people outside! Open the door right now, or we won't be polite!"

The major had already issued a warning, so Ye Lei didn't need to pay attention. He controlled Tu Xingsun to come over and block the door as well.

"I'll count to three, and if you don't open the door, we'll shoot."

The major was clearly losing patience.

"three"

Ye Lei glanced at Xiuxiu and Tang Xiaoting, who had already climbed to the middle.

"two"

We're about to climb up.

"one"

"Get out of the way! Everyone get out of the way!"

Just then, the urgent knocking stopped abruptly. Ye Lei knew perfectly well that if he didn't escape, he would likely face certain death.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Lei activated his superpower "Instant Teleportation" and arrived at the door.

At the same time, a series of deafening gunshots rang out, "Bang bang bang..." Clearly, the enemy had launched a fierce attack, and it seemed that Tu Xingsun would not be able to escape unscathed.

However, Ye Lei had no time to care about anything else at that moment. He grabbed Xiu Xiu and ran wildly toward the Mercedes SUV not far away.

Tang Xiaoting followed closely behind, not daring to slack off in the slightest. She had only run a few meters when the system's voice sounded in her mind:

[Tu Xingsun is dead and out of control!]

"Damn it!" Ye Lei couldn't help but curse under his breath, secretly regretting the loss of such a capable assistant.

But at this moment, he had no time to think too much; his immediate priority was to escape this dangerous place as soon as possible.

He quickly opened the door of the SUV and urged Xiuxiu and Tang Xiaoting to get in the car.

The three of them jumped into the car like a whirlwind. Then Ye Lei stepped on the gas, the engine roared, and the car sped away like a wild horse.

Just as he rounded the bend, Ye Lei caught a glimpse through the rearview mirror of the major leading his men, panting as they climbed up. But it was too late; they could only watch helplessly as Ye Lei and his men disappeared from sight.

Just then, Ye Lei suddenly remembered the Bloodthirsty Bat. He had to make it fly away immediately, or the consequences would be unimaginable. But just as he was about to control the Bloodthirsty Bat, the system's voice sounded in his mind again:

[The bloodthirsty bat is dead and out of control!]

Ye Lei couldn't help but curse under his breath, "Damn it!" He had lost another capable lieutenant. It seemed that these soldiers were indeed quite troublesome. Bloodthirsty Bat had successfully dodged the submachine gun fire many times before, but in the end, he could not escape the hands of these soldiers who were proficient in the use of weapons.

Enraged, Ye Lei slammed his fist on the steering wheel, filled with regret. He had really lost big this time!
