"10"
"9"
"8"
Lynn abruptly raised his head and shouted:
"Xiao Xiao, the base is about to explode! Let's get out first!"
"Then what-do we do with him?"
Lynn smiled faintly, cocked an eyebrow, and said:
"We come back and dig him out later, of course."
Without a moment's hesitation, Xiao Xiao stopped pounding the tough mechanical body. Countless tentacles sprang upward, smashing through the steel structure overhead and rapidly carrying Xiao Xiao outside.
"5"
"4"
"3"
The countdown continued.
The Heart-Eater Demon, his brain severely diseased, crawled hideously across the floor, desperately reaching out to drag himself outside.
But the disease in his brain severely interfered with his consciousness, leaving the mechanical body unable to properly receive the commands his brain sent.
"I'll kill you! I'll kill you!"
He repeated those words viciously, his resentment and hatred for Lynn almost twisting his will beyond recognition.
"I swear I'll take your life, I swear... I'm gonna fly~ I wanna fly~~ Time to take off and flyyyy~~~ Hehehehehe..."
His schizophrenia flared up again, and he broke into another fit of idiotic giggles.
And almost at that very moment.
The countdown ended.
"Self-destruct mechanism activated."
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom-
Countless explosions erupted throughout the base, and roaring flames instantly engulfed the corridor where the giggling Heart-Eater Demon lay.
Outside, as a head leaped out of the enormous pit, the ground for hundreds of meters around collapsed with a rumble, and a massive explosion hurled flames into the sky.
Xiao Xiao's enormous head landed firmly on the ground.
Then slammed on the brakes.
And bounced to the edge of the blast zone.
