"You dead fish eyes, you are seeking revenge for your personal gain!" Xiao Di was angry. He did not forget that on the first day they came to Pandalin District, this dead fish eyes had threatened them and asked them to wait. There had been no movement for such a long time that they had even ignored the existence of such a thing as him.

Being called dead fish eyes, Diao Hongzhi's face suddenly turned green, "What did you call me?"

"He called you Dead Fish Eyes." Among the students, Pang Xi crossed his arms and said loudly.

The students who were watching the fun couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Diao Hongzhi glared at the child who was speaking angrily. When he saw it was Pang Xi, his facial expression instantly changed from anger to a flattering smile.

He cannot afford to offend Pang Xi, the sister of Pang Xinting, the Deputy Minister of the Executive Department.

"Miss Pang is right." His servile face made Xiao Di feel sick.

He moved closer to the gate of the base and could see the scene inside through a small piece of glass on the gate. Tu Ran was being carried around by the alien, while Shen Yunhe and Min Tao were extremely anxious below.

His eyes were red. "Diao Hongzhi, don't forget the provisions of the new federal law. If anything happens to them in there, I will definitely take you to court."

Diao Hongzhi didn't care at all and said lightly, "Aren't they pioneers? How could they not be able to deal with an alien? Even if something happened, it's because they are not skilled enough. What does it have to do with me? I didn't let you in for the safety of these students. What if the alien inside runs out and hurts the children when you open the door?"

He turned his head and looked at the students. "Young masters and young ladies? Am I right? Your family will send someone to pick you up soon. If this alien gets out during the journey, you won't be able to see your parents again."

"You're right, the door can't be opened. Wait until we leave." The children said in unison.

Xiao Di clenched his fists. These kids were all born from the selfish and profit-seeking upper class. They possessed all the disgusting qualities of the upper class. He didn't expect them to understand that the people trapped in the base were staying there to buy them time.

He closed his eyes, turned around, and looked for Deng Changtai on the communicator, thinking that Deng Changtai might be able to come and help them.

Inside the base, after more than a dozen cuts, Tu Ran finally made a five-centimeter-deep cut in the alien's neck.

She pulled a pistol from her waist, reached into the wound and pulled the trigger.

Two bullets successfully shot into the back of its head, and all the strength of the alien was immediately drained away. Its wings stopped vibrating and it fell from seven or eight meters in the air.

Tu Ran deliberately chose a relatively low place to make her move. She was afraid that if the distance to the ground was too high, she and the alien would fall down and be half killed.

Even though it was only seven or eight meters high and there was an alien creature serving as a cushion underneath, Tu Ran still felt dizzy from the fall. The muscles on the alien creature's body were too hard and uneven, and falling on it was no different from falling directly on the ground.

Shen Yunhe and Min Tao ran over immediately, and one of them held her arm and helped her up.

"Are you okay?" Shen Yunhe asked worriedly.

"It's okay." Tu Ran rubbed his head and shook his head, "Let's go out quickly."

She had a bad feeling.

She had this feeling when she couldn't contact Zero through the communicator.

But no clear picture appeared in her mind, and she was not sure whether "predicting the future" was working.

The three of them supported each other and walked to the entrance of the base. Min Tao went forward to push the door, but it didn't open.

"What's going on?" He frowned. He couldn't push it open. He tried to pull it back, but there was still no movement.

There was a palm-sized glass on the door. He leaned close to the glass and looked out, and saw the guards from the executive department and Xiao Di who was stopped by the guards. "What's going on?" Min Tao contacted Xiao Di on the communicator.

Xiao Di's voice was very angry. "It was that dead fish eye. He didn't let us in because he was afraid that the aliens would be released."

"We have dealt with the alien species. We can open the door now," said Min Tao.

Xiao Di did not reply immediately, and it seemed that she was arguing with Diao Hongzhi.

Tu Ran was waiting for Xiao Di's reply, doing nothing but looking back.

My heart skipped a beat.

The spraying of anesthetic gas in all glass cylinders was stopped.

Various alien species are ready to move.

Shen Yunhe followed Tu Ran's gaze and noticed this as well, causing his scalp to tingle.

"Open the door quickly!" Tu Ran no longer needed Shen Yunhe's support and knocked hard on the metal door.

There was finally movement outside the door, but it wasn't the door opening.

Through the narrow glass, Tu Ran saw Diao Hongzhi's arrogant dead fish eyes.

His voice came through Xiaodi's communicator.

"Aren't you arrogant? Aren't you crazy? Dealing with these aliens should be no problem, right?"

Tu Ran stared at him intently and took a few steps back to distance herself from his ugly face.

"It's not that I don't want to open the door, but no one can open it now. The Songwu Experimental Base has already started the self-destruction program and the door has been locked. If you don't believe me, just look." He pretended to pull it a few times, but it didn't open.

There are still people inside, why destroy it?! Tu Ran quickly called Ling, who was a super artificial intelligence responsible for managing the above-ground part of the Songwu Experimental Base.

There are still people inside the base, so Zero will not initiate self-destruction directly.

Looking at Tu Ran's anxious look, Diao Hongzhi was in a particularly good mood and said a few more words, "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that due to scheduled maintenance, Zero is in dormant mode today. It will take seven hours before it goes online. During this period, all emergency defense measures in this base will be operated according to the previously specified procedures."

"You guys may not understand, so let me explain it to you. That is to say, in the past, when a species escaped from a container, Zero would conduct a series of assessments. Once it was determined that the risk outweighed the reward and the loss was irreparable, Zero would directly initiate the self-destruct sequence."

"Zero is now in hibernation. A series of programs in the base are running automatically, and they have also learned from Zero's past behavior and entered self-destruct mode. These codes cannot judge whether there are still living people in the base like Zero does."

"Of course, unless you can kill those aliens before these codes enter self-destruct mode, but..." Diao Hongzhi tilted his head and looked at the aliens knocking on the glass cover, "It will definitely be too late for you. Just wait to die...haha..."

Tu Ran imprinted his appearance deeply in her mind. She had so many superpowers, she would not die here. When she got out, she would not let him go first!

"Senior, what should we do?" Shen Yunhe stared at the alien that was knocking on the glass cover and clenched his weapon.

For some reason, he believed that Tu Ran had a way to break the impasse and that he would not die here.
