Chapter 186 - : Energy Cannon (2/2)

“And to think that I had originally planned to get two bodies by the end of the day for research purposes. It seems that I have been too naive. If you want to act that way, so be it! Time for you all to die!”

Professor Wang pressed on a button labelled “open”.

In the next moment, the ceiling of the chamber that once held 051 broke open. From the dark chasm above, a massive cannon descended.

In the muzzle of the massive cannon, an azure glow was intensifying.

The facial expressions of Qin Feng and 051 changed in an instant.

Never in his life had Qin Feng seen such a large piece of machinery. It was even larger than the energy cannons fixed on top of the walls of either Chengbei colony or Fu City.

For such a weapon to go off in an enclosed space, even an E-tier beast would suffer near-fatal wounds from the blast.

Humans, being the weak creatures they were, simply would not be able to withstand the cannonfire at point blank.

“Wang Ang, YOU, PIECE, OF, SH*T! F*****CK!”, 051 yelled out hysterically.

How was it possible that in the past five years, 051 did not lash out like that when placed under threat?

To be honest, he was considered one of the more “obedient” test subjects within the laboratory. Despite his abilities increasing everyday, he dared not speak back against the researchers, let alone attack them. Of course, that was all in order to bide time before making his great escape.

And now, when hope was at its peak, despair unexpectedly set in 051’s heart.

This was an upgraded energy cannon, with tremendous lethality. Though, the extent of its effects had been fine-tuned to cover just this laboratory. Upon firing, an energy net would be created, trapping everyone within its area of effect, turning this lab into an inescapable tomb.

While Rainbow Rodents were, as its name suggested, rodents, 051 did not possess the digging ability of rodents so the chances of escape was pretty much null!

As he soaked in despair, Qin Feng maintained his calm under pressure.

“Xiao Bai! Bring us away from here, him included!” Qin Feng pointed to 051.

In a fraction of a second, Bai Li, alongside Qin Feng and 051 disappeared into thin air.

Almost at the same time, a blinding ray enveloped the entire laboratory, vaporising the entire room including the surveillance camera.

Professor Wang cackled. Removing the data disk, he hurriedly ran out of the laboratory.

At that exact moment, the entire facility was flashing red.

[Self-destruct system activated—Self-destruction in 3 minutes!]

[Please exit the facility immediately!]

Professor Wang’s pace was consistent but not too fast. One of the researchers who was still alive but had suffered heavy injuries reached out to the professor desperately. “Bring me with you, Sir. Professor, I’m not dead yet! You still need my help, don’t you?”

Professor Wang did not even spare the man a look.

In the next instant, Professor Wang had already stepped into the emergency escape shaft. Turning on the ignition of a hover car, he escaped the place via a secret tunnel.

At the same time, Qin Feng, 051 and Bai Li reappeared on the great mountain which housed the research facility.

051 could not believe his eyes. He had finally escaped from his death.

“Hmph, let’s see where you can go!”

Qin Feng was still piseed.

Soon after Bai Li had brought the both of them out of the laboratory, someone from the outside had activated the facility’s self-destruct function. Qin Feng, not wanting to idle around the ticking time bomb, left the great mountain without giving chase to the damned professor.

Somehow, he felt that Professor Wang would make his appearance soon. Qin Feng was excited at the thought of seeing the professor’s face at the sight of them outside the facility.

Qin Feng’s consciousness expanded to cover the entire mountain. It was not even two minutes later that he noticed something jutting out awkwardly from a boulder. Sure enough, a massive cavity appeared and from within it emerged a hover car.
