Just Discharged From the Military and Got Tied Down by A Cold Beauty

Chapter 401: Chapter 401: Although I Am Old, I Am Still Single

In the passage, Roberts was covered in wounds, but none were fatal.

As for the third-tier players involved in the Divine Light Plan, they weren’t so tough, with nearly ninety percent dead or injured, leaving only a few with enhanced physical mutant abilities who were lucky to survive.

One fourth-stage Mutant had died, leaving two more, both of whom were severely injured.

"Fack! Fack!" Roberts swore loudly.

"Lu Xiao, I, Roberts, swear I will take your damn life!"

After cursing for nearly half a minute, Roberts finally regained his composure, "Those still alive, gather around me, all of you, gather around me!"

Soon, a dozen people had assembled beside Roberts.

This included nine third-tiers and two fourth ranks.

Each one of them was a mess.

Seeing only eleven people left before him, Roberts’s heart clenched.

One didn’t have to think hard to know the explosives in the passage had been planted by Lu Xiao in advance.

As for how Lu Xiao had managed to plant them, it was most likely through Edson.

"Damn traitor!" Roberts cursed with a spit.

"Mr. Roberts, what do we do now? Do we continue to the exit of the Superpower Alliance?" Someone by his side asked, their voice trembling with fear and panic.

The explosion had come too suddenly and was too intense.

The entire team was almost wiped out, especially the scene of flesh and blood flying in the moment of the explosion, even those accustomed to life and death felt weak at the knees.

Roberts fell into a brief silence.

If truth be told, he strongly suspected that the exit to the Superpower Alliance had already been welded shut by Lu Xiao.

Even if it hadn’t been welded, Lu Xiao and his group would likely be waiting there.

"No need, let’s head back the way we came, go!" Roberts made a decision.

Under Strategy S01, the entire villa area of the Divine Light Plan would be completely destroyed; against such scorched-earth bombing, Chen Fei and Liuli Hong would have definitely fled by now.

More than ten minutes later, Roberts and his party reached the entrance beneath the villa.

The metal door was still there, only looking somewhat bulged, obviously due to the bombing above.

"Open the gate." Roberts gestured with his hand, taking two steps back himself.

Better safe than sorry.

Who knew what they would face when the gate opened.

Soon, the metal gate was slowly opened with the help of several third-tier people.

A mass of debris and sand from the bombing poured in through the gate, covering the entire spiral staircase.

The bombardment from High Court continued, with missiles occasionally hitting near the villa.

However, for Roberts, this was actually good news.

Under such circumstances, Chen Fei and Liuli Hong were unlikely to be nearby, greatly increasing his chances of escape.

"Pair up, keep a thirty-meter distance between each pair, move!" Roberts ordered again.

With five pairs ahead and a total distance of one hundred and fifty meters, even if they encountered Chen Fei and Liuli Hong, he could still retreat unharmed.

...

Under a large tree at the foot of the mountain, Lu Xiao let out a big sneeze.

"Get some sleep, you’re still injured," Chen Fei said softly, seeing the exhaustion on Lu Xiao’s face.

Although she was exhausted, her body was fine.

Lu Xiao was different, he had nearly died that afternoon.

If it weren’t for those Mutated Crystals, he would be dead by now.

"Okay," Lu Xiao didn’t insist and leaned against Chen Fei’s shoulder before closing his eyes.

Liuli Hong wanted to ask where Lu Xiao was injured and how serious it was, but when he turned his head and saw the two nestled together, he suddenly lost all desire to ask.

The damn Lu Xiao showing off his love in public; although I’m old, I am still a single dog.

Time passed, and Lu Xiao felt someone pushing him.

"Did Roberts come?" Lu Xiao opened his eyes and asked.

"That way, Mr. Luli went after him," Chen Fei pointed and said.

"Let’s go." Lu Xiao immediately got up.

This opportunity was hard to come by; if they missed it, it would be much more difficult to kill Roberts later.

After all, they had to leave Meili Country before dawn.

They might have crippled the entire Divine Light Plan tonight, but if they didn’t leave, they would have to await Meili Country’s furious retaliation.

Mutants and Heavenly Men are strong, but no matter how strong, they cannot overcome the violent apparatus of a nation; if tanks and cannons start firing, they would be reduced to dust in minutes.

Moreover, if Roberts wasn’t killed, then there was no point in having taken in Edson, the lapdog.

After all, Roberts had witnessed Edson’s betrayal with his own eyes.

If Roberts died and all personnel of the Divine Light Plan were dead, that would make Edson relatively safe.

After all, with all the top fighters gone, Edson as a fourth-stage Mutant would still be quite formidable.

Even if High Court suspected something was off with Edson, they wouldn’t act rashly; without a Super Tier to hold him back, a fourth-stage driven to desperation could indeed turn the world upside down.
