Escape

"A locator for guiding rocket artillery?"

"Are you saying there's a mole in our Lineage?"

Zhang Xuezhou and Ren Anran met up a few minutes later.

Upon hearing the news that Ren Anran had heard while pretending to be dead, Zhang Xuezhou was taken aback, while Montes Clark was filled with fear.

The Montes Lineage suffered repeated bombings, and despite having high- Sequence Holder to quell the situation, they were constantly put on the defensive and could only fight back from underground.

Even so, their ordeal did not end; they were forced to endure relentless attacks every day.

There were some effective counterattacks organized, and the Nags team also made raids to quell certain Lineage, but the counterattacks were largely ineffective, the internal strife never subsided, and the situation continued to tilt toward the rebels.

Until now, I've lost everything.

But Montes Clark also clearly sensed the surprise of Zhang Xuezhou and the others.

Clearly, Zhang Xuezhou and his group were unaware of the situation and were also under the intense bombardment of rocket artillery.

"Wouldn't dozens of rockets kill a lot of people in this area?" Zhang Xuezhou said. "If their rocket artillery has already been launched according to its positioning, there are probably less than ten minutes of safe time left if they bombard this area now!"

"Oh no, there are still people on the underground level!"

Montes Clark felt a chill run down his spine.

Being captured was a big problem, but an even bigger problem was the disruption caused by rocket bombardment.

Without sufficient expert and professor support, even if they reach the Seventh Sequence, they will only possess the strength of the sequence, and many projects involving upward research, the improvement of Gene Fighting Technique, medical drugs, and weapons will be terminated.

Not everyone can be Chimmon Haig, and Montes Clark knew very well that everything he had would come to an end.

But such a short time is hardly enough for them to be transferred. Not to mention the sick and wounded, even the Sequence Holder had been fighting earlier would find it difficult to move.

This was a desperate situation; Montes Clark felt his mind was in complete chaos, and he inevitably became somewhat like a walking corpse.

"More than three hundred professors are injured? Then this is truly the end!"

Some of the unconscious Sequence Holder could be revived and escape the bombing zone using the Dragon Elephant Combat Technique, but the evacuation of the more than 300 wounded was a major problem.

Listening to Montes Clark's low murmurs, Zhang Xuezhou felt that all his efforts were no match for the changes.

He pulled on the wire around Montes Clark's neck and loosened it.

"The only way to save them right now might be to cooperate with the rebels, stop their fighting, wake up the unconscious ones, and help evacuate the professors as much as possible," Zhang Xuezhou suggested. "After all, they're here for their own interests; they certainly don't intend to wipe out all of your Alliance States's top researchers!"

"Will it work?"

You'd better give it a try!

Zhang Xuezhou gestured, and Montes Clark struggled for a moment before quickly running away.

Let's give them a hand!

Zhang Xuezhou shook his head.

There are cases of injuries and deaths among those Sequence Holder every year; a few deaths are not a big deal.

But the loss of a batch of top researchers and teams is a devastating blow, and even Zhang Xuezhou would feel it's a pity.

Without Badun as a key figure, many classified orders could not be used, and the whereabouts of many blocked weapons, documents, and genetic materials were unknown.

Zhang Xuezhou glanced ahead and then followed closely behind.

"It's quite risky; even if we were to escape the bombing range within a few minutes, it would be difficult!"

Ren Anran whispered something as she ran.

Under rocket artillery fire, everyone is treated equally, and even the Seventh Sequence would struggle to withstand a massive barrage of rocket artillery fire.

"Clark will know which underground passage to take to get away from here!"

Zhang Xuezhou made a rough estimate of the location and realized that the top of this underground area was most likely the ruins that had collapsed due to the bombing.

If they don't return the way they came, they'll inevitably have no choice but to escape with Montes Clark.

"Qiong Nan!"

He followed Montes Clark, listening to Montes Clark shouting orders, which terrified the Sequence Holder he was fighting, causing them to flee in a frenzy.

"I hope you will all hear me out. A large number of rockets will arrive in this area in minutes and launch an indiscriminate bombardment. Escape now requires collective cooperation. We still have over three hundred wounded on the third floor, including professors involved in the field of genetics. I concede defeat in this civil war on my own behalf, and I hope you will show mercy..."

"Only Clark knows the escape route right now. Those who want to live, get up and cooperate!"

Montes Clark spoke too slowly, so Zhang Xuezhou had to add a sentence.

Ren Anran used the Dragon Elephant Combat Technique to relieve the headaches of some of the groans, while he kicked repeatedly to wake up some of the unconscious ones.

Twelve people were able to move normally while hidden in the smoke, sixteen people were seriously injured and on the verge of death on the ground, six people had already died, and the rest could mostly be classified as having minor injuries.

After a rapid series of shouts, many people responded in varying degrees.

"That bastard beat me so badly, I feel like my whole body is falling apart!"

What about Ren Yisheng?

"Could someone from your Scarlet Alliance State step in and offer some assistance?"

"Don't do anything rash! The Scarlet Alliance State are watching us!"

A few murmurs broke out, but quickly fell silent; after all, this wasn't a pleasant time for conversation.

Not only did Montes Clark feel terrible, but the rebel Sequence Holder also felt terrible, never expecting to be wiped out in the final battle.

No amount of hatred could compare to the possibility of death. With Zhang Xuezhou and others intervening to break up the fight, the brawl did not resume.

Those Sequence Holder heads were severed and hearts ruptured were left here; those who were still breathing were taken away, and Zhang Xuezhou also helped carry two others.

"Zhang Xiao... Committee Member Zhang, when did you become such a good fighter?"

Following behind Zhang Xuezhou, Montessler still finds it hard to believe.

He watched as Zhang Xuezhou, carrying the man with incredible speed, couldn't understand how a young man like Zhang Xuezhou could fight him and even beat him up so badly.

After being successfully impacted by the mental intimidation and the Dragon Elephant Combat Technique, the person impacted will feel fear. Montess's gaze towards Zhang Xuezhou was like that of an ordinary person looking at a poisonous snake, still retaining a sense of wariness.

Where are your people?

Seeing that Zhang Xuezhou did not answer, Montessler looked at the Sequence Holder who were fleeing for their lives behind him, and felt that there were none of the high Sequence Holder from the Scarlet Alliance State he was familiar with among them.

"You two aren't going to take on our whole group, are you?"

Compared to his own experience of being defeated, Montessler found it even harder to believe the possible fact that they had contacted the Sequence Holder and rebels of the Thousand Islands Alliance to fight each other, and that the ultimate winners were Zhang Xuezhou and Ren Anran.

Let alone competing within the same rank, even Badun, from the Eighth Sequence, would find it difficult to defeat many people in a melee.

No one would believe such a record if it were told, not even Montess, who was beaten, still refuses to believe it.

But reality forced him to accept this answer.
