Chapter 718 The Death of the Doctor
Xin Xiao was dodging the falling rocks, or using his fire-based abilities to blast them apart.
Upon suddenly hearing the self-destruct sequence activated, his face instantly turned grim, and he called out in a deep voice, "Xiao Wu!"
On the other side, Bai Mianmian, protected by mushroom phantoms and capable of blasting away rubble with a flick of her finger, was much more at ease than Xin Xiao.
However, her expression turned serious after hearing that the self-destruct program had been activated.
Just then, she heard Xin Xiao's shout and couldn't help but look at him.
"Vice Regiment Commander, I'm sorry, I can't intervene to cancel the self-destruct procedure. You need to leave immediately!" Xiao Wu's anxious voice came through Xin Xiao's earpiece.
"The research institute's defenses... zz... are completely out of control... zzzz... all under control... zzzz... leave... zzzz..."
After the intermittent sound, Xin Xiao's earpiece went completely silent.
"Xiao Wu?" Xin Xiao called out to confirm.
Just as he had expected, no one responded.
"Deputy Regiment Commander!" Just then, Pan Cheng and the others came down from the upper floor.
"Now, everyone prepare to evacuate the research institute." Xin Xiao said in a deep voice as soon as they came down, then turned to look at Bai Mianmian not far away.
"Yes!" Pan Cheng and the others, who were initially a little flustered, instantly calmed down and replied with serious expressions.
They then began to examine themselves, preparing for their escape from the research institute.
Seeing Xin Xiao looking over, Bai Mianmian spoke up before he could, asking, "How many of your people are still in the research institute?"
She remembered that there seemed to be some unconscious wounded soldiers up there. It had been so long; they should have been evacuated by now.
Upon hearing this, Xin Xiao and the others were taken aback, not expecting Bai Mianmian to ask about this matter.
Does she... intend to help them escape the research institute?
"Boom—!" The experimental subjects on the next floor were still attacking the doctor by self-destruction, causing the tremors throughout the research institute to grow stronger with each explosion.
And the countdown to the self-destruct program is still going on.
Xin Xiao was stunned for only a moment before he came to his senses and said, "I notified the others to evacuate before I came down. If there are no accidents, they should have all evacuated the research institute by now."
Bai Mianmian glanced at everyone present, and calmly replied, "Mm."
Then, her gaze fell back to the next floor, to the doctor who was staggering and disheveled from the explosion.
Suddenly, a layer of dark gold armor appeared on his body.
The self-destructive attacks of the superhumans struck the surface of the armor, and were mostly blocked, so that although the doctor was seriously injured, he was not completely dead.
That's too slow.
Bai Mianmian moved her fingers, losing some patience.
Seeing that Bai Mianmian was still looking down and showed no intention of leaving with them, Xin Xiao frowned.
But considering that she wasn't familiar with them and was clearly a person with her own ideas, even if he tried to persuade her, he might not be able to convince her to leave with them now.
not to mention……
Xin Xiao glanced at the mushroom-shaped phantom that enveloped the white, fluffy fabric.
Given the defensive capabilities of that mushroom phantom, she was definitely safer than them, so why waste time trying to persuade her when she had already made up her mind?
Thinking this, Xin Xiao ignored Bai Mianmian and looked up, saying in a deep voice, "Get ready!" Pan Cheng and the others' expressions changed slightly when they saw him looking at the ceiling.
Is the deputy commander planning to just punch through the ceiling and escape the research institute by going straight up?
The moment Pan Cheng and the others had this thought, Xin Xiao suddenly clenched his fists, and a burst of heat emanated from his fists.
"Whoosh—!" Immediately afterwards, two bright flames burst into flame on his fists.
But then, the bright flames disappeared, and Xin Xiao vanished from the spot.
When he reappeared, he solemnly held a large fireball in both hands and slammed it forcefully into the ceiling of the loot warehouse.
He wouldn't painstakingly persuade Bai Mianmian to leave with them, but he would clear a way out for her as a way of repaying part of her life-saving grace!
"Boom—!" A huge explosion rang out.
The ceiling, struck by the fireball, was instantly blasted open, sending debris flying everywhere. Then, amidst the continuous tremors of the entire research institute, a large section of the ceiling collapsed.
"!" Pan Cheng and the others immediately widened their eyes; they had indeed been right!
However, the group reacted quickly and chased after Xin Xiao.
However, their upward movement was somewhat clumsy, as they kept crashing into pieces of varying sizes falling from the ceiling.
They didn't want to get smashed to pieces, so they either dodged the rubble at lightning speed, smashed the rubble into powder first, or knocked the rubble away.
After all that work, they looked a bit flustered.
"Madam, we'll give you the things from the warehouse after we leave." As Pan Chengfei rushed up, he didn't forget to turn back and shout this to Bai Mianmian.
He was stunned when he saw Bai Mianmian's current state.
Let's turn back time a little bit.
"Boom—!" The moment the ceiling was blown apart, the mushrooms that Bai Mianmian had manipulated to grow on the Doctor's body also exploded.
The doctor thought that he would be safe once he hid inside the armor that could block 70-80% of the power of a superhuman's self-destructive attack.
Unexpectedly, the white, fluffy mushroom spores sprouted beneath his armor, in a vital spot on his body.
When the doctor sensed the presence of energy that did not belong to him, even though he used his supernatural energy to protect himself as quickly as possible, it was already too late.
Although he was more adept at using his superpowers than the experimental superpower users, in Bai Mianmian's eyes, his speed in using his superpowers was as slow as a snail's pace.
The dark gold armor, capable of blocking 70-80% of the power of a superhuman's self-destructive attack, was also shattered into several pieces when the mushroom explosion turned the doctor into a bloody mist. The pieces flew out in all directions, "Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!"
Bai Mianmian narrowed her eyes as she looked at the dark gold armor, which still had large, intact fragments.
She hadn't suppressed the power of those mushroom explosions, yet the dark gold armor hadn't shattered into dust, demonstrating just how formidable its defense was.
"Whoosh—!" Just then, a fragment of dark gold armor flew towards Bai Mianmian.
She had no intention of dodging; instead, she lightly flicked her slender fingers in the air.
Immediately, a mushroom sprouted in the air in front of the piece of dark gold armor that had been flying towards her.
"Boom!" With a flick of Bai Mianmian's finger, the mushroom suddenly exploded.
The explosive impact that erupted in that instant just happened to slow down the speed of the black-gold armor fragments flying towards her.
Pan Cheng, who was turning around to speak to Bai Mianmian, happened to see the mushroom that had grown out of nowhere suddenly burst open.
Then, Bai Mianmian's hand reached out from the mushroom's phantom and deftly caught the fragment of the dark gold armor that was flying towards her.
Pan Cheng, feeling utterly shocked, was speechless.
