Tang Xili, realizing her purpose, raised her chin towards Yong Zhixu.
The man raised his lips and took two steps back casually. As Hilgard passed by him, he suddenly reached out and knocked her unconscious with his gun. He handed her over to the armed soldiers and said, "Take her away, and her assistant, separately."
The last two sentences were spoken in a very low voice, and only he and the armed soldiers could hear it.
The armed soldier glanced at Tang Xili and saw her nod slightly and say "yes". He then quickly took Hilgard and her assistant out of the base and headed towards the retreat point.
Tang Xili took out her watch and glanced at the time. It was five o'clock in the afternoon, three hours after the electromagnetic pulse bomb exploded.
They use a small electromagnetic pulse with a coverage range of 40 kilometers, and communications can be restored within seven hours.
No one can guarantee whether the local police or the Japanese fighter jets will arrive first after the influence of the electromagnetic pulse disappears.
Must retreat within four hours.
Tang Xili raised her sniper rifle, pointed it at a young man in assistant's uniform, and threatened coldly, "Go, download all the research data."
This laboratory violates the bottom line of humanity, but the research data cannot be destroyed.
Those who are being studied alive cannot be sacrificed in vain.
Yong Zhixu raised his gun and pointed it at an Australian female assistant, "You go too!"
The two were suddenly pointed at with a gun, their hearts pounding with fear. They walked over to turn on the computer and were about to do as they were told, but they realized there was only electricity but no internet.
"Two...two people...there's no internet, so I can't download it."
Tang Xili frowned, "Then dismantle the hard drive. We have discovered this place. The Japanese will send people to destroy the base and destroy all evidence. If you don't want to die here, do it now."
The two assistants nodded respectfully, speeding up and disassembling the hard drive.
At Tang Xili's signal, several armed soldiers stepped forward to help dismantle it.
Yong Zhixu said to the other armed soldiers, "Take these people out first."
After making the arrangements, he remembered clones No. 5 and No. 6 in the last two rooms of the laboratory. He immediately turned around, pushed the crib, and took the 6-year-old girl who was still huddled in the corner of the second-to-last room with him.
"They must not be discovered by the media, and the dead clones must be destroyed."
Tang Xili nodded, "I'll burn the body."
There was an incinerator on the second floor, and she saw it when she passed by just now.
She carried the three clone bodies to the second floor in two trips.
After the bodies were burned, it was six o'clock in the afternoon. The sun had set and the dense tropical rainforest was plunged into a darkness where only the outlines of the surroundings could be barely seen.
The two armed soldiers who were setting up the signal reported to Tang Xili, "We contacted Heron Two and Heron Three five minutes ago. They are avoiding the electromagnetic pulse range and flying towards the retreat point."
"We'll retreat too."
——
The retreat point was 20 kilometers away from the base. Tang Xili and Yong Zhixu, each holding a clone, quickly caught up with the team leading the second group of scientific researchers.
More than seventy people were traveling in the dark forest. The team was so huge that it looked like zombies wandering at night.
After walking for two hours, the scientific researchers, who had rarely traveled far, could no longer walk and collapsed to the ground, groaning in pain.
Tang Xili, who was holding the baby girl, had a flash of impatience in her eyes. She said to Xie Dong, "Your team and the third team should go first. Don't worry about them."
Judging from the time, Wang Tu should have left the forest. If we call the police, they will arrive within four hours.
These scientific researchers have nothing to do with her, and her soldiers have no obligation to protect them.
"I, let's retreat first. Evelyn, you have to be careful."
Xie Dong turned around and was about to leave when the baby girl in Tang Xili's arms suddenly woke up and started crying.
Tang Xili, who never really liked children, immediately stuffed the child into Xie Dong's arms and said, "Take the child away."
"Evelyn, this is not a good idea, right? I have no experience in taking care of children, and I'm not a nanny." Xie Dong said with a look of rejection.
Tang Xili waved her hand. "This is an order. Make her some milk powder when you get out. Be careful to avoid the police and don't let them find you."
Xie Dong said reluctantly, "Okay."
Seeing this, Yong Zhixu also put the 6-year-old girl on the back of an armed soldier and said, "Take this one with you, and give her something to eat."
The two groups separated, and the team was suddenly reduced by half.
Tang Xili and Yong Zhixu rested for ten minutes, ate something to replenish their energy, and continued on their journey.
At around ten o'clock in the evening, when they were about to reach the retreat point, "whoosh" a sonic boom suddenly passed over their heads and headed towards the north.
A few dozen seconds later, there was a deafening explosion, followed by a burst of flames shooting into the sky.
The scorching heat and powerful shock waves swept in all directions at the speed of seconds.
The forest within a radius of dozens of kilometers seemed to have been hit by a strong typhoon, and was tilted outward in a circle with the base as the center.
Tang Xili's face changed. "It was the Japanese army. They used large-scale guided missiles."
"Get down! Cover your ears!" she shouted, her hands moving faster than her mouth. She pulled Yong Zhixu and rolled down the small slope to the side.
The next moment, the shock wave arrived.
The well-trained armed soldiers all found the nearest cover and lay down.
And those researchers are out of luck.
Those who did not lie down were all knocked over by the shock wave, spitting blood and falling heavily to the ground in a parabolic trajectory.
"Ah..." The injured researchers fell to the ground and rolled around in pain. Those who did not have time to cover their ears lost their hearing due to the explosion.
After the shock wave passed, Tang Xili and Yong Zhixu climbed up from the bottom of the slope.
Thanks to the destructive power of the electromagnetic pulse bomb, they bought seven hours for the adventure.
"Fortunately, there is evidence left." Yong Zhixu said, looking at the firelight illuminating the sky in the north.
The fighter plane hadn't left yet. Tang Xili picked up the communication device and saw that communication had been restored. She immediately contacted Wang Tu, "Are the police and media not here yet?"
Wang Tu on the other end said, "The police have left. We are only 3 kilometers away from the retreat point. You must retreat as soon as possible."
"knew."
Tang Xili contacted Heron 2 and Heron 3 again.
Two minutes earlier, Heron 2 had flown from the south of the woods around Queensland to Malaysia with a small team, Hilgard and her assistant.
Heron 3 is still on standby.
"The police are coming soon, let's go!"
Fifteen minutes later, Tang Xili and others arrived at the retreat point.
A small team and the first group of scientific researchers were left at the retreat point. Tang Xili had the scientific researchers untied, then left them behind and boarded the plane.
When the police see a plane taking off from here, they will come to check and the scientific researchers will not be in danger.
As for how to investigate this case, that depends on the United Nations.
Song Ci took the hard drive, experimental reports and photos, took a private plane to the United Nations, and requested that the peacekeeping police intervene in the investigation.
As dawn approached, Tang Xili returned safely to Penang Island.
As soon as she landed, she received a call from Elvis, "Evelyn, your sister Zhou Zhou is in my hands. If you want to see her, come to New York to find me——"
