Chapter 294: Chapter 294: Base Self-Destruct

"To be honest, Qiao Yi didn’t really want to rescue this woman.

But thinking about the treatment Bai Lingling would receive if she was left here alone, Qiao Yi couldn’t bring herself to be so cruel.

Quietly stepping outside the room, Qiao Yi peeked through the crack of the door.

She saw several men, shirtless, standing by the door, with Bai Lingling pinned to the ground, her clothes torn into strips.

Bai Lingling’s cries for help were utterly heartbreaking, and the men inside the room laughed sinisterly. Qiao Yi clenched her teeth and kicked the door open to enter.

The people inside the room probably didn’t expect Qiao Yi to suddenly appear, and for a moment, they didn’t react.

Qiao Yi kicked aside two big men blocking the door, ran over, grabbed Bai Lingling, and started running outside.

"Damn bitch! How dare you run!"

"Everyone, get them! Bring them both back!"

The man who had been on top of Bai Lingling was kicked over by Qiao Yi and fell to the ground, clutching his groin in pain.

Seeing that Qiao Yi was about to escape with Bai Lingling, the man struggled to get up, pointed at Qiao Yi and Bai Lingling, and led his men in pursuit.

"Can you still run!"

Dragging someone greatly slowed down Qiao Yi’s pace!

Alarms rang throughout the entire base, and Qiao Yi had to dodge not only the people chasing after her from behind but also those blocking her way ahead.

Bai Lingling, gasping for breath, didn’t respond; Qiao Yi glanced at her, saw she was barely clothed, and threw her own jacket over her.

"If you can run, follow me on your own. If you can’t run, you’re on your own."

With that, Qiao Yi let go of Bai Lingling’s hand.

She had already shown great mercy by rescuing Bai Lingling, she had given her a chance to escape, but she couldn’t risk her own life for Bai Lingling.

Fortunately, though Bai Lingling seemed unreliable, she clenched her teeth and kept up with Qiao Yi’s pace.

Seeing this, Qiao Yi ignored her and continued running along the escape route she had planned.

The base was in chaos, and the route Qiao Yi had memorized was mostly blocked by people, forcing her to constantly change paths to avoid them.

But as fate would have it, the more Qiao Yi wanted to avoid them, the more relentlessly they pursued her.

There were people hot on their heels from behind, but around the corner ahead, voices could also be heard, trapped!

"This way! Go!"

In her anxiety, Qiao Yi unknowingly pressed something on the wall, and the smooth wall suddenly cracked open, revealing a secret door.

The two didn’t dare to delay and quickly ran into the secret door.

Inside the secret door, it was pitch black.

Qiao Yi felt along the wall moving forward, unknowingly touched something, and the whole space suddenly lit up.

"It looks like we’re in luck, we’ve actually found the power distribution room here!"

Qiao Yi let out a sigh of relief after seeing everything clearly.

Although she almost ran into the power box just now, to have found this place amidst the relentless pursuit was incredibly lucky!

Qiao Yi walked around the small room; apart from several large electric boxes, there wasn’t even a handy tool.

As Qiao Yi thought, even if she had a stick, she would try to escape from these people.

But unarmed and burdened with Bai Lingling, the thought of escape was nothing short of fantasy!

Bai Lingling slumped at the door.

The recent escape had drained all her energy; even if someone came to catch her now, she probably couldn’t run anymore.

Qiao Yi couldn’t think of a good solution at the moment, and no one would come here in a short time, so she sat down on the ground to rest.

Bai Lingling, sitting nearby, kept her head down and didn’t speak, leaving Qiao Yi uncertain about what she was thinking.

Bai Lingling’s reaction today surprised Qiao Yi; she had not caused any trouble and had honestly escaped with her.

Qiao Yi had been prepared to be slowed down by Bai Lingling, but now seeing Bai Lingling so well-behaved, she felt slightly less vigilant.

"Can we... still escape?"

After a while, Bai Lingling slowly spoke up.

Qiao Yi couldn’t answer her question because she herself didn’t know if they could escape.

Lu Yanchuan must have already received the news that she had been taken away by Dirk’s people, but it was unknown how long it would take for Lu Yanchuan to find this place.

Who could imagine that Dirk’s hideout was actually located in the suburbs of Capital City.

People say it’s darkest under the lamp, and that the most dangerous places are the safest.

Unexpectedly, this was true; they never thought that Dirk would give An Wei false information at the end!

"Who exactly captured us? Did you already know they would target you?"

The room became quiet for a while, then Bai Lingling spoke again.

Qiao Yi keenly sensed the slight emotional fluctuation in Bai Lingling’s tone and thought it was understandable. Today’s incident was triggered by Bai Lingling tailgating her, which gave Dirk’s men an opportunity.

But Bai Lingling was also implicated because of her involvement.

Qiao Yi remained silent without answering; she did not know how to respond to Bai Lingling, only thinking that fate had made them what they are now.

Bai Lingling kept her head down, hugging her legs.

She didn’t dare to look up, fearing that once she did, Qiao Yi would see the hatred in her eyes!

How could she not hate? If it weren’t for Qiao Yi, she wouldn’t be in this disastrous situation!

Qiao Yi was her nemesis, her bad luck charm! Whenever she encountered Qiao Yi, she would definitely be unlucky!

Suddenly, the ground seemed to shake slightly, and faint noises could be heard even in the quiet room.

Qiao Yi jumped up abruptly and pressed her ear against the wall to listen carefully to the noises outside.

Are people calling for help? Are they arguing?

Qiao Yi’s eyes lit up! It must be Lu Yanchuan coming to rescue her! That’s what had caused such a commotion!

Seeing Qiao Yi’s expression, Bai Lingling realized what had happened.

Although she hated Qiao Yi deeply, the immediate priority was to escape from this place quickly!

Qiao Yi pushed the door open a crack and stealthily peeked outside.

The people who had just surrounded them had all disappeared, and one could only hear someone screaming not far away!

"Take this chance! Run quickly!"

Qiao Yi murmured softly, then quickly stepped out of the room and ran along the wall.

Behind her, Bai Lingling followed closely, and the two of them ran out silently like two little cats.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion came from behind Qiao Yi and Bai Lingling. Turning their heads, they saw the electrical room they had just exited explode!

The next moment, the entire base plunged into darkness!

"The base’s self-destruct mode has been activated, please evacuate all personnel from the base swiftly!"

"Self-destruct countdown initiated, five, four, three, two, one!"
