Chapter 27 Whale Fall



"Run! Run!"

The crowd surged out of the base's electric grid defense wall, and all available vehicles started up in an instant.

People initially thought this was no different from any other evacuation operation, until they saw the giant whale hovering in the air.

They had seen flying fish.

But I've never seen a giant whale from the ocean being transported above city ruins by a vortex with spatial teleportation capabilities.

This power has surpassed people's previous understanding of a cataclysmic world.

The fear of the unknown spread rapidly in people's hearts, the will to survive was unleashed to the extreme, and humanity completely lost its restraint.

...

The top floor of the biotechnology company.

After assigning everyone to be in charge of the evacuation mission of the entire base.

Yang Mei remained alone in the empty rooftop office, gazing intently through the extra-high-grade explosion-proof glass at the giant whale suspended in the center of the storm vortex, her entire soul trembling with excitement.

Spatial teleportation is undoubtedly one of the most significant discoveries in the history of human scientific research.

But at this moment, she must give the order to destroy.

Because the secrets of that deep sea cannot yet be discovered.

She muttered to herself, "How did He manage to achieve such precise location and teleportation?"

"Could it be because of that thing that was sent from company headquarters?"

Even now, she still doesn't know what the contents of that medicine bottle look like.

Is it a liquid, a solid, or some kind of gas?

However, Yang Mei is certain of one thing.

It is alive, and the key to humanity's victory over the SHASI virus lies within it!

She looked down at the survivors who were quickly evacuating downstairs, hoping that the thing sent by headquarters could leave the base safely.

Don't die here along with this mutated giant whale.

Yang Mei took a deep breath, rubbed her temples, and perked up.

A moment later, she zipped up her protective suit, turned around and walked into the elevator, descended to the ground, and pulled the self-destruct switch.

The timer on the controller started immediately. Yang Mei took the controller and returned to the top floor, quietly standing by the window to observe the giant whale in the sky.

She cannot leave yet.

Because the base assigned her the task of ensuring the self-destruct sequence went smoothly and that the giant whale and all the mutated plants and animals that had gathered there were completely destroyed!

......

Zhao Gang, carrying Zhao Xiaoxiu, was swept away by the crowd and ran out of the defense net.

The evacuation vehicles provided by the base were far from sufficient, and people fought tooth and nail for a single spot.

The base forces had more important things to evacuate, so they could only send out a small team to maintain order and organize the evacuation of survivors.

The shantytowns, home to 100,000 people, were the first to descend into chaos.

They worked together to kill the driver, stole the car, and fled.

Once someone started this trend, drivers who owned vehicles immediately panicked.

Originally, quite a few drivers followed the base's instructions and were willing to give rides to other survivors.

Now that we've been scared off by those crazy guys in the shantytowns, who would dare to care about others?

floor the gas pedal and get out of there first.

"The children go first!"

On a passenger truck, a soldier kicked a shantytown adult man who was trying to take advantage of the chaos off the vehicle, raised his weapon, and angrily shouted at the shantytown survivors around him who were trying to climb onto the truck.

A shantytown survivor secretly climbed over the truck's guardrail and stabbed the soldier with a knife.

Unexpectedly, the soldier reacted quickly, turned around and shot him dead, then threw him off the vehicle without blinking.

The members of the Qinghe Hunting Team, who were temporarily conscripted, worked hard to help maintain order, pulling the children, who were being lifted up by their parents, onto the truck trailer.

The mutated sparrow on Shen Que's shoulder chirped twice, and she immediately shone her powerful flashlight precisely into the center of the crowd.

"Zhao Gang!" Chen Que shouted.

Zhao Gang, who was staring at the motorcycle under someone else and was itching to do the same, turned his head to look when he heard the sound.

They met Chen Que's gaze from a crowd more than twenty meters away.

"Come here! Hurry up!" Shen Que anxiously beckoned to the father and daughter.

Zhao Gang faced a brief choice between the base's truck and the motorcycles that others were riding on.

He decisively walked towards the truck.

He was like an iron wall, heading straight toward the truck, and people who bumped into him were bounced back and looked back at him in astonishment.

When he was still ten meters away from the truck, he reached out his left hand, and the blood-red tentacle flew out instantly, slamming into the truck's guardrail with a "thud".

Tentacles wrapped around the guardrail and pulled, and Zhao Gang, carrying Zhao Xiaoxiu, leaped over the crowd and landed steadily in the truck bed.

Shen Que and the soldier looked at Zhao Gang in astonishment and asked in unison, "Are you an evolved human?"

Zhao Gang responded with an "Mmm," found an empty spot, and squatted down with his daughter in his arms.

Zhao Xiaoxiu poked her head out of her baby and called softly, "Sister Chen Que."

Shen Que gave her a reluctant nod of reassurance and continued to lead her four team members to help maintain order.

Soon, the truck bed was crammed with children and survivors.

The soldier whom Shen Que called Team Leader Mo waved his hand, and the truck quickly drove away from the base.

There were three routes to retreat. Zhao Xiaoxiu saw a familiar forest landscape, the direction they had taken to Yishan earlier.

No one knows where the truck's final destination is.

All I wanted was to get as far away from the base as possible, and completely escape the blast radius.

More and more vehicles followed behind the truck.

Because the mutated animals in the forest were all rushing towards the base, the group did not encounter any major dangers along the way.

Occasionally, a few rampaging mutated trees would cause trouble, but they were all driven back by the powerful firepower.

Vehicles full of survivors sped along the highway. The trucks drove for three hours before being forced to stop because a vehicle blocking the way ahead had stopped.

Mo waved his hand, signaling Shen Que and the others to take the lead in guarding the area. He then jumped off the truck and joined the other evacuation leaders.

They have satellite phones, so they can stay in touch at any time.

About five minutes later, Captain Mo returned to the truck and said to everyone, "The road ahead is blocked by a landslide. A few of you come with me to clear the road ahead."

Chen Que immediately said, "We need to rest."

She and her team were exhausted after maintaining order during the night's retreat.

Team Leader Mo expressed his understanding and agreed to let them stay in the car to rest.

Their gazes naturally turned to Zhao Gang and the other adults.

Everyone avoided his gaze.

Only Zhao Gang raised his head and looked eastward.

Mo instinctively looked in the direction he was looking, and as soon as he lifted his eyelids, he heard a series of violent explosions coming from the east.

A bright orange mushroom cloud shot into the sky, turning the entire sky red.

That is where the Hope Base is located.

Everyone stood up, staring solemnly at the mushroom cloud.

The giant whale crashed, along with the entire Hope Base, and vanished completely.

My home is gone.

All previous efforts and beautiful dreams have come to naught.

Zhao Xiaoxiu instinctively gripped Zhao Gang's clothes tightly with both hands. She thought, as long as he is alive, home will always be there.

It's just starting from scratch, there's nothing to be afraid of!
