Sang Che and Chi Qi stepped forward simultaneously, their faces expressionless, and stretched out their arms to block their path.
Sang Che: "Our captain said, please leave! Keep your distance!"
Jin Xiao was about to speak instinctively when a sharp pain shot through his arm...
Lin Shuang pinched him hard, making him wince in pain. He swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and could only rub his arm pitifully.
Lin Shuang: "We're from the Starlight Base. We'd like to see if there's anything we can do to help?"
Xie Linlin stepped out from behind Sang Che. Her tone was still polite, but her refusal was decisive and straightforward.
"Ms. Lin, thank you for rushing over... but we really don't need any help, please leave."
"Then can we wait here for you to leave together?" Lin Shuang asked as a compromise.
"We'll wait there and absolutely won't bother you!"
Xie Linlin glanced back at Lu Nange and the others, and seeing that they didn't react, nodded: "Suit yourselves."
Si Sheng turned around and walked towards the open space opposite the Flame Heart ability user.
This spot has a good angle; you can see Chi Yanzhou and his group, as well as the situation at the gate.
Lin Shuang quickly pulled Jin Xiao, who was still trying to peek out, and led the rest of the Starlight Base to follow.
...
The underground laboratory at the Panshi Base.
When the first violent explosion came from overhead, the Rock Labs' intelligent defense system was instantly triggered, red lights flashed, and piercing alarms echoed through the corridors.
The heavy alloy gate slammed down, its gears locking, completely sealing off all entrances and exits, utterly isolating the area from the ground...
Liang Xin, the team leader in charge of security inside the laboratory tonight, immediately gathered dozens of his superhuman subordinates and tried to contact the other team leaders and base chief of Pan Shi.
But the walkie-talkie in my hand only emitted static; there was no response whatsoever...
Liang Xin immediately instructed the other ability users to find other emergency exits or ventilation ducts.
However, after wandering around the passage for a long time, knocking on every wall and checking every vent, they still couldn't find any other exit.
"Captain Liang, the entire area is sealed off!" a subordinate reported breathlessly as he ran in.
Another technician wearing glasses added, "This is the highest level of security lockdown mode, with authorization locked in the hands of the base commander alone."
Unless he unlocks the door from the outside using a unique password and iris verification, we have no way to get out!
The system backend was locked; we didn't even have a chance to try and crack it.
"Damn it... this means if anything happens to the base commander, we'll all be trapped here and die as collateral damage!"
The explosions overhead were intermittent, sometimes muffled, sometimes violent, causing dust to fall from the ceiling.
Each loud bang sent shivers down the spines of those trapped underground.
"Why isn't the bombing going on? What's the situation outside?"
"Captain Liang... what if... what if the base commander... doesn't come back?"
Liang Xin's face turned pale. Instead of answering the question directly, he forced himself to remain calm.
"It's too early to talk about that now! Let's first take stock of the remaining food and drinking water in the lab!"
Also, check how long the backup generator's fuel will last! Quickly!
