Chapter 869: 869、In Trouble I (1/2)
Wen He entered the room and initiated the self-destruct sequence after quickly familiarizing herself with the military interface in a language she only slightly comprehended—at least those were graphical interfaces and it was not hard to tell whether she had activated the sequence, judging from the countdown she triggered on the giant screen.
“T-5 minutes. Hehehe.” She gave a cunning glance and turned away, only to see the door thrown open, “Who’s there?” Shouted the two armed soldiers as they began launching a barrage of bullets across the room.
Wen He performed a graceful tumble and pulled out the gun from her sleeves. A click from her trigger and a few rapid fires made right through the soldiers foreheads. Having seen the threat eliminated, she sprinted outside. However, the shriek made by the soldiers before death had attracted attention from the others. The alarm was wailing as Wen He zigzagged through the corridor while dodging bullets in the dim blinking red lights.
She finally returned to the entrance and leaped into one of the military trucks. The key was already inserted and she started the engine before zooming away from the shower of bullets.
The intense escape had distracted them from the self-destruct sequence countdown, that right when she was approaching the meeting spot with Gu Jinzhi…
BOOM!
The earth-shaking explosion shocked her as the building behind her got turned into an enormous explosive cloud. The truck received a drastic quake in spite of being afar and nearly toppled. Unlike Wen He, the chasing soldiers were not fortunate enough to be not bounced off the cliff as cracks were heard when they flew into the air with shattered limbs.
“We did it…” Wen He muttered as she looked back and hit the pedal harder, “Calling team. Calling team. Mission : Success. Meet now. Over!” She contacted Huo Chen’s men through the communicator.
“Oh, my girl, you’re finally here.”
“Is this the time for you to act cool leaning against an oak tree?”
“Why not?” Well, probably because they had been surrounded by the opposing soldiers who had survived the explosion before reinforcements arrived.
