Chapter 216 Killing Two Birds with One Stone



"Smart." Tu Ran praised without reservation.

Xie Xu was silent for a moment.

Tu Ran bent her body and crawled under the crotch of an alien creature.

Shen Yunhe and Min Tao behind her were shocked by her movement. They resisted in their hearts, but they could not deny that this was the best route, so they had to accept their fate and follow her.

"Are you planning to abandon the Songwu Experimental Base? I see that many equipments in these rooms have been moved away." Tu Ran casually pushed open the door of a laboratory. There was nothing inside except a giant bed and several white metal cabinets.

She pushed open several doors in succession, and all the rooms looked the same.

It is not easy to transfer all the valuable instruments and equipment in such a short time.

An idea popped into Tu Ran's mind.

"Didn't you plan to abandon the Songwu base a long time ago?"

There seemed to be a delay on Xie Xu's side, and after two or three seconds he said, "Yes."

Tu Ran frowned in confusion, "Why?"

"The Songwu base was infiltrated by foreign forces, and confidential research projects were leaked again and again, causing huge losses to the federation. In order to save the situation, the base activated the emergency plan, moved the base location, fired researchers from other families, and obtained management rights. From now on, the Songwu Research Institute will no longer be managed by the federal government, but will belong to the Xie family's private research institute."

"What about the alien species above? Don't you want them anymore?" Tu Ran stared at the alien species around him, dodging them flexibly, without forgetting to ask Xie Xu.

"Yes, but before we could move them away, something went wrong here."

He said it so easily, and Tu Ran couldn't hear any pain in his voice.

But she knew in her heart that there were so many alien species, of all kinds, all bought with money. Now it has come to this point, the severity of the loss is no less than having her research data stolen by other families.

"I suddenly felt that the guys who turned off the anesthetic spray were not targeting me, but you."

The extent of their losses was far greater than hers.

"Both." Xie Xu said, "They have set their sights on both the experimental base and you. By sending you here, they can not only kill you, but also destroy all the alien species in the experimental base, thus damaging the Xie family. It's like killing two birds with one stone."

Tu Ran stepped over a poisoned alien and said, "So it was someone sent by the Wells family who did this?"

"Yes, the reason we decided to implement this emergency plan was because the Wells family stole confidential documents on human internal elixir research."

Tu Ran cursed, "This group of people are so cunning."

"Did you know about the Wells family digging out the inner elixir from the pioneers' bodies?"

"I know." Xie Xu said calmly.

"Did you know that they have a private laboratory under the medical department?" Tu Ran asked again.

Xie Xu was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't know about this.

The Medical Department is under the jurisdiction of the federal government, and the federal government is controlled by the Xie family. No one could have imagined that the Wells family built a laboratory right under the Xie family's nose and dared to be so arrogant.

"I will take care of the laboratory matters. You should hurry up and leave here." Xie Xu's voice became urgent.

"What's wrong?" He rarely lost his composure like this.

"There is a bomb of extremely high yield buried under the base. If it explodes, the entire base will be razed to the ground." Xie Xu said quickly.

Tu Ran quickened her pace, "When will it explode?"

"Not sure, can't detect it."

Tu Ran wanted to swear, "Who buried it?" "It wasn't the Xie family. The alien species that were poisoned to death still have a certain research value. If it explodes, there will be nothing left." Xie Xu was afraid that Tu Ran had misunderstood, "I detected a team of fifteen people approaching you. They are probably the ones who buried the bomb. They haven't left yet. The bomb won't explode for the time being. You have plenty of time to retreat."

So she was safe for now.

"Send me their location." Tu Ran said.

"What are you going to do? You'd better get out of here."

"I know my limits." Tu Ran said impatiently.

She didn't want to explain any more, she just wanted to rush over to that group of people and kill them right now.

She would make sure there was enough time before the explosion, and she would not joke with her own life.

Xie Xu didn't persuade her any further and directly sent her the location of the group of people. The eyepiece showed the path and guided Tu Ran forward.

Min Tao and Shen Yunhe didn't know that Tu Ran was no longer looking for a way out, but someone to vent her anger on. They followed her without any doubt.

They were very close to the target, so Tu Ran stopped. Shen Yunhe and Min Tao also stopped and waited for her next instructions.

"There is a group of people ahead. They are most likely the ones who turned off the anesthetic spray and prevented us from leaving," Tu Ran said to them through the helmet. "I don't intend to let them go. Now is a good time to take revenge. Once they leave here, we will no longer have the chance to take revenge. You can choose to leave, or you can choose to go with me."

"Let's go together." The two said almost in unison.

They have been feeling frustrated ever since they were trapped in the base and provoked by Diao Hongzhi. Now that they finally have the chance to settle accounts with the culprit, how could they let it go?

Tu Ran asked Xie Xu to share the location of that team with Min Tao and Shen Yunhe, and the three of them acted separately.

The aliens were either dead, fallen to the ground, or dizzy. They posed no threat to them, so the three of them focused all their attention on the team of fifteen people.

Tu Ran went around to the front of them, Min Tao went to the end, and Shen Yunhe was in the middle, attacking them from three sides.

The team leader was the first to discover the abnormality. His eyepiece showed three small red dots approaching a group of small green dots. The green dots represented the members of their team, and the red dots represented other organisms.

He subconsciously thought it was an alien species and didn't take it seriously.

The alien couldn't see anything in this environment, it must have just happened to walk over.

But soon, he realized something was wrong. The movement trajectories of the three red dots were not chaotic, but organized, surrounding his team from three sides.

"Alert!" he shouted immediately.

But it was too late.

Tu Ran calmly pulled the trigger and shot him in the thigh.

He staggered and knelt on one knee.

His teammates behind him immediately rushed over and blocked him behind them. Unable to determine the enemy's exact location, they could only fire blindly in the direction where the bullet had just come from.

Shen Yunhe and Min Tao immediately shot them from the back, and two more people fell to the ground.

Tu Ran also moved to another position and fired three shots from the side, killing three people.

She only planned to keep the captain alive and kill everyone else.

Five of the fifteen-man team died in a short moment, and the captain was injured. The remaining survivors were all nervous, their hands holding the guns trembling slightly as they fired, following the small red dot on the eyepiece.

"She's over there!" The captain who was surrounded in the center grimaced in pain. He didn't dare to relax and kept paying attention to the little red dot on the eyepiece. He pointed the gun in the direction where Tu Ran was now. He roared and pulled the trigger with his index finger first.
