Hui Feichi sneered, "Does your X Group think it's up to your Bright Base to manage us?"
"For the sake of the former leader Mei, I won't pursue this. You should leave quickly."
Xiang Jintian's face darkened, and he said coldly, "We are the Bright Base. Besides the other two major bases, all other bases must obey Bright."
Hui Feichi didn't care what he said. Although the Bright Base was founded by the former leader of Country Z, this was the apocalypse.
Might makes right.
After all, they had only brought a few people. Could the thousand-plus black-clad men of X Group stop them?
"Commander Xiang, our X Group does not obey any base, nor will we ever. If you don't leave, then we can only 'invite' you to leave."
The atmosphere instantly became tense to the extreme.
Everyone's faces turned cold.
The defenses of X Group were strict. If there were other opportunities, they wouldn't have entered X Group so openly…
Suddenly, a subordinate ran in without knocking, clearly in a hurry.
He whispered something into Hui Feichi's ear.
No one else could hear clearly.
The moment he understood, an astonishing coldness radiated from Hui Feichi's entire body.
His face turned ashen, and he growled in a low voice, "How did she know about the underground river?"
The subordinate stammered, "Young Master Hui, there are many ferocious mutated beasts in that underground river, and we rarely go down there. We don't know how they found out."
Hui Feichi pressed his temples, took a deep breath, and ordered, "Immediately send people to intercept her at the exit of the underground river."
"Yes."
Hui Feichi turned and left, brushing past them.
He had no time to deal with outsiders now. Xu Qian had been captured with great difficulty, and she absolutely could not be allowed to escape.
Everyone exchanged glances and decided to follow.
Hui Feichi mobilized more than half of the black-clad men to remain at the base, while the others followed him to capture Xu Qian.
The group arrived at the underground river. Several speedboats were already heading out.
Hui Feichi casually chose one and got on. The Sun Chaser team and Xiang Jintian also chose one.
The black-clad men did not stop them. Those brought by Young Master Hui must be formidable individuals.
Just as they were about to set off, there was a sudden loud "boom."
Then another and another.
Hui Feichi's expression was grim, but not overly surprised.
He had already moved most of the important experimental materials when Xu Qian arrived.
Although the losses were still significant now, they were not as devastating as before. At least with the data intact, they could make a comeback.
Moreover, most of the experimental personnel were sleeping in the dormitory building at dawn, so the laboratory building was empty.
What they were bombing were only data and experimental subjects.
Suddenly, Hui Feichi remembered something, and his face changed slightly.
He asked with a trembling voice, "Was Lian Du not transferred either?"
Lian Du had not woken up since he fainted, which was a sequela of the anesthetic. Mild cases usually resulted in general weakness, while severe cases led to unconsciousness.
At that time, Hui Feichi thought Xu Qian had sequelae, so he didn't send many people to escort her.
If he had personally escorted Xu Qian, so many problems wouldn't have occurred.
The subordinates shook their heads in unison. Lian Du had not been transferred and was still in the laboratory building.
Hui Feichi's face turned pale. He hadn't expected Xu Qian to be so ruthless. Even Lian Du, who had protected her in every way, had to suffer this fate.
He opened his communicator and shouted, "Send a suicide squad to get Lian Du out immediately!"
"Yes."
When the others arrived, they found that the room where Lian Du was located had not exploded, nor had the rooms on either side.
Everyone understood that Xu Qian had intentionally spared his life. Otherwise, he would have been blown up long ago.
After checking that there were no problems, the subordinate sent a message to Hui Feichi.
When the man received the feedback, he breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Qian still had some conscience.
If Lian Du had died, ten Xu Qians wouldn't have been enough to compensate!
Ship after ship rushed out to sea, but after sailing for a long time, they still hadn't found Xu Qian's boat.
Hui Feichi pondered for a moment and ordered, "Mobilize the mutated fish in the sea to stop all boats except those from X Group."
