Chapter 145: Chapter 141: Containnt Breach Eleven
At this mont, Qiu Mujin’s presence simply vanished.
She should have still been standing there, or perhaps she had already left the room; regardless, everyone who saw her ignored her presence.
It was as if we can all see our own noses, yet our brains automatically exclude them from our vision.
“Baseball Cap” and “Dark-Skinned Girl” looked confused, frowning blankly for a few seconds before they realized what had happened.
“Let’s go…” the girl said, turning around and walking out of the small containnt room.
And “Baseball Cap” could only mutter under his breath and, with a sense of unconscious deliberation, hoist Lin Fan onto his shoulders in a “carrying a gas cylinder” pose, quickly following her.
The pair swiftly passed through the corridor.
“Let’s just transfer out…” Baseball Cap grumbled weakly. “As long as we make a few stops, the Foundation definitely won’t be able to track us down!”
The Dark-Skinned Girl responded with an indifferent tone, “Quit the chatter, what A Ming says, we do!”
Baseball Cap evidently anticipated this response, and before the Dark-Skinned Girl could finish, he had already put on a bitter face.
At that mont, the two also passed through the door to the Class C containnt area…
“15 seconds late… just you wait!”
The Dark-Skinned Girl spoke indifferently.
“Baseball Cap” leaned Lin Fan against the hallway wall, carelessly dropping him to the floor, as he grumbled to himself, “Field agents are always like this, cautious about everything. Even though eradicating the ‘Gene Toxin’ is for their own good, every ti it has to end in a fight…”
The girl, irritated by his words, gave him a disdainful glance, “Stop your endless babbling. If the Foundation’s people ca running to you now, saying ‘here, take this little pill, it’ll revitalize you, prolonging each ti to over three minutes,’ would you obediently swallow it?”
Baseball Cap’s old face turned slightly red, and although he knew there was no one around, he still glanced around guiltily… and deftly changed the subject: “Ah, speaking of ti… those two people A Ming ntioned… they should be arriving soon, right?”
…
…
anwhile, in the Foundation’s underground second level in City K.
Bai Xiong spread his five fingers and grabbed the person in front of him dressed in black, while his right knee lifted from an oblique angle, tossing the person into mid-air. With a swift motion, his hands twisted forward and backward… There was a crackling sound as the person’s head was twisted into an eerie position behind his back.
And as the person collapsed powerlessly to the ground, Song Xuan’s dagger also slid across the throats of two frenzied guards.
“Quick… haha…” Bai Xiong, maintaining his last shred of clarity, burst through the stairwell door.
“Co in quick…”
Song Xuan shook her head inexplicably a few tis, her expression sowhat hysterical, as she uncontrollably stabbed the blade into the head of the body now in front of her, reducing it to a crushed mass of flesh and bone before she burst into manic laughter and dashed into the stairwell door.
The mont she entered the door, Bai Xiong imdiately smashed the card reader on the outside of the door with a punch and closed it… It was then that he leaned against the door, his strength fading as he slid down to the floor. Song Xuan still stood by, taking deep, heavy breaths, her short hair covering her face, leaving only the twitching corners of her mouth visible.
The journey from the dical departnt to this stairwell was less than 100 ters.
Along the way, they encountered an unnad field agent, four guards, and a few staff mbers with no resistance.
These people’s combat effectiveness was negligible in the face of Bai Xiong and Song Xuan, and it took them barely two or three minutes to travel this distance.
But Bai Xiong still felt a chill of fear.
Before this, he had only seen footage of these people driven mad, and only when he stood in front of those consud by madness did he realize how bizarre this mode of contagion was.
Bai Xiong was composed and calm, yet his consciousness began to beco uncontrollably chaotic. It was as if the slightest spark of madness, once ignited, would be amplified countless tis, starting to corrode all other emotions, mashing them into a ss. He could imagine that if he had faced those maniacs for just a few more seconds, he might have beco one of them.
…
The guy in the purple suit, with his lips sared vivid red… was that really Chen Xiao?
No, although that kid was always a bit odd, that definitely wasn’t him.
“Hehe…”
Bai Xiong suddenly laughed again, and then he imdiately banged his head against the wall to drive those thoughts out of his consciousness.
At this mont, Song Xuan had finally extricated herself from the chaos as well.
She caught her breath…
“Let’s go… now is not the ti to rest…”
Bai Xiong nodded, got to his feet,
Although the stairwell seed safe, the situation on the third basent level was still unclear, and resting in this environnt was undoubtedly unwise.
“…It looks like it should be much “cleaner” down here than on the second sublevel…”
He said, and continued walking down.
Shortly after, the two reached the stairway entrance to the third basent level, pushed open the door, crossed the porch, turned a corner, and Song Xuan and Bai Xiong arrived at a central crossroads on the third basent level.
As Bai Xiong had guessed, there weren’t as many crazily eroded people here.
In fact, within his field of view, there were only two people at the intersection of the corridor ahead—a man with a baseball cap, and a woman who was nearly naked. At that mont, those two were also looking at them…
The partition door of the Class-C containnt area next to them was half-open, and beside the wall behind them lay a person
…Lin Fan…
…
…
Very quiet.
No one spoke; just four glances intricately crisscrossing…
This was a situation Bai Xiong and Song Xuan had not anticipated at all; it felt like they had only walked a few flights of stairs, and the scenery in front of their eyes had suddenly changed. Although they didn’t know what the deal was or who the two people in front of them were, combining the surroundings, it was easy to guess what had just happened here.
The man and woman in front had, by so ans, opened the Class-C containnt area door… and had moved out this youth labeled C-207…
That is to say, these two were stealing the Foundation’s containnt objects right under its nose…
Uh
Just hearing about sothing like this was frustrating, let alone witnessing it, so Bai Xiong and Song Xuan were sowhat bewildered for a mont.
But
The man and woman opposite didn’t show the slightest hint of hesitation; it was as if they had been waiting for this mont all along.
Imdiately after.
A light “snap” sound.
Like two very thin pieces of porcelain tapping against each other.
The kid in the baseball cap… disappeared.
