Chapter 210 Airport Reception
The truck narrowly escaped another checkpoint.
Lin Xi glanced at the time and the distance to the airport that Lu Wei had agreed upon on the electronic map. If they continued to drive around like this, they would miss the pick-up time.
Although Lu Wei's operation was successful and paved the way for Lin Xi and Xiang Xin, his and his team's situation must not be so good.
Yue Mingyuan is cunning and treacherous, and the White Shield base is fraught with danger. If we arrive at the location and there is no one to meet us, we don't know what the situation will be like.
Seeing the fuel gauge reading dropping, Lin Xi grew anxious and asked Xiang Xin, "We still haven't been able to contact Liang Hui..."
"We got a response!!" Xiang Xin took out the equipment, operated it for a moment, and exclaimed with delight, "We've made contact with him! He's still 15km away!"
Lin Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As the two red dots on the map drew closer, Lin Xi said to the people in the back of the car, "Hurry up and pack your things, we're changing cars right away."
The staff members perked up, but they really didn't have much with them. They had just hurriedly escaped from the White Shield base, only bringing a few coolers from the laboratory.
Lin Xi picked up the most important item: the refrigerator.
The vehicles drove to an open area and met up with Liang Hui's convoy, and everyone quickly switched vehicles.
The vehicles Liang Hui brought were all modified trucks and armored vehicles from the Dawn Base, with much higher safety levels and better equipment and instruments inside, greatly enhancing security.
Everyone was assigned to their respective vehicles in an orderly manner. The researchers and Song Heng boarded the vehicle with medical personnel to provide remedial treatment, while the combat personnel were assigned to their respective vehicles. Lin Xi and Xiang Xin boarded their own "itasha" (decorated car).
After a long time, the comic book version of the four-person team that Xiang Xin had personally drawn was still in the car. Looking at the familiar space, Lin Xi really breathed a sigh of relief.
"Long time no see, did you miss me?" Liang Hui said with a smile as he came out.
Xiang Xin rolled her eyes: "If you had come any later, we would have missed you terribly."
Liang Hui waved his hand: "How could that be? These two ladies are very lucky."
The cartoon version of the four-person group photo painted in the carriage still had one person missing. The three of them exchanged a brief greeting and then returned to their solemn combat readiness.
Liang Hui took out a map and equipment and analyzed for the two of them: "I rushed over after receiving Brother Lu's message. We need to go to the airport to pick him up. Here is the airport map."
“This airport was temporarily cleared out by White Shield Base and is under its control.” He pointed to several building complexes: “There are people stationed here and here. We need to be prepared.”
Lin Xi asked, "Did he take Yue Mingyuan hostage?"
Liang Hui: "That's right."
Xiang Xin asked, "Why is he allowed to travel by plane?"
Liang Hui: "Because neither you nor San San can fly a plane, but he has an informant who can fly a plane."
Trucks can drive straight out, but if two planes land at different times, the one that lands first may be unsafe.
Xiang Xin shrugged.
Lin Xi frowned as she looked at the airport map and said, "Could he have agreed to hand over the keys to Yue Mingyuan at the airport?"
Liang Hui nodded: "This is the only condition Yue Mingyuan gave for giving the lab the order to release you."
After all, there are still people from the White Shield base at the airport, so Yue Mingyuan feels safer.
Looking at the densely packed buildings, Lin Xi didn't think it was a good idea; Lu Wei was being too principled.
Lin Xi reached out to Liang Hui and said, "Give me the device that can contact Lu Wei."
Liang Hui handed him a cell phone: "Our communication equipment might not work on the plane. You should just send him a message. Once we leave the White Shield base's controlled area, we can connect to the public network."
Since they were communicating by phone, Lin Xi simply used her own contact information.
She unlocked her watch and phone, decrypting them layer by layer.
After entering the White Shield base, she did not use her own equipment, fearing that she might connect to the White Shield base's network or be monitored. She also installed a security system inside the base before leaving Dawn Base.
After restarting, Lin Xi opened the contact named "Xiong Da" and entered some commands.

On the other side.
As the plane descended, Lu Wei turned on his communication devices and mobile phone, and the first thing that lit up on the screen was Lin Xi's message.
After reading it, he pondered for a moment, somewhat embarrassed, then coughed lightly, stood up, and said to Yue Mingyuan, who was still sitting in the chair recovering from the anesthesia:
"I'm changing my mind."
Yue Mingyuan frowned, his eyes filled with doubt.
Lu Wei: "We won't be handing you over at the airport. After you get off the plane, you'll have to walk with us for a while."
Yue Mingyuan was extremely displeased, but since he couldn't move his body, he could only express himself verbally: "Xiao Lu, are you going to break your promise?"
Lu Wei took a breath: "That's right, exactly."
Everyone else looked at him.
Yue Mingyuan, who was usually a calm and composed elder, could no longer maintain his composure and stared intently at Lu Wei.
This person was clearly going to break the contract and tear up the promise, but he looked righteous as if he were loudly declaring:
Yes, I'm going to break the contract. What can you do about it?
But he looked around—
The plane belonged to their White Shield base, but all the personnel were Lu Weihe's former undercover agents who had infiltrated the White Shield base. He was not only unable to move, but also isolated and helpless.
He was initially fearless when he was taken hostage, but Lu Wei told him that the poison he had given was carefully developed by the research institute and that without an antidote he would die in 6 hours.
He knew that Lu Wei's girlfriend was a scientific researcher, and he was absolutely certain of it.
Fortunately, Lin Xi was trapped in the laboratory, and he had leverage to make a deal with Lu Wei.
As long as the plane lands at White Shield Airport, his men will be there to meet him. In the battle between the two sides, Yue Mingyuan has an absolute advantage in terms of numbers and weapons.
Unexpectedly, Lu Wei seriously wanted to change his mind.
His lips twitched slightly as he said, "Little Lu, that's not very fair..."
Lu Wei gave the pilot the order: "Cease descent."
He said to Yue Mingyuan, "I'm not discussing this with you, I'm just informing you. If you don't agree, we'll go to another airport; the plane has enough fuel."
However, the situation at other airports is unclear. It is unknown whether the taxiways are intact and can be used for descent. Abandoned airports may still be haunted by zombies. If they encounter a horde of zombies, their fate is uncertain without sturdy transportation for cover.
Lin Xi has already escaped. When Lu Wei gets off the plane, he will not care whether Lin Xi lives or dies, or even break the contract again and execute him. Yue Mingyuan's "grand plan" will not be implemented in time and he will die in a foreign land.
How could I accept this?
Yue Mingyuan sighed helplessly: "Then let's do as you say."
Lu Wei grunted in response and waved for the plane to descend.
Yue Mingyuan added, "But I have one condition. I have already kept my promise and released Lin Xi. You cannot break your promise again. You must let me leave alive."
Lu Wei stared at him, his gaze unreadable: "After you leave the airport, I will have someone pick you up in the middle of the highway."
