Chapter 206 -206: Emergency Evacuation

Song Qian didn’t directly answer Sun Jingtao and Su Dai’s questions, but after a moment of silence, he changed the subject, saying,

“Infernal Affairs,” have you seen it?”

“…” Su Dai was momentarily taken aback, “Yes, I’ve seen it, so, Song Qian, are you also an undercover agent?!”

Sun Jingtao and Ye Qing exchanged glances and then simultaneously turned their gaze toward Jiang Yan.

Unexpectedly, the latter seemed uninterested in Song Qian’s words, covering her mouth with a yawn and slowly getting up,

“I’m tired, you guys chat slowly, I’m going upstairs to rest.”

Realizing that he had habitually beat around the bush again, Song Qian’s face became awkward for an instant, and he called out to her, “Jiang Yan—”

“What?” Jiang Yan paused in her tracks.

Song Qian looked at her, his eyes struggling for a second, then said,

“Time is of the essence, so I’ll get straight to the point:

1. The leaders of the major forces at the Xiangcheng base, as well as their trusted aides, family members, key personnel, etc., will all be departing tonight on military transport planes.

2. All military forces have been left behind, and the arsenal, I’ve heard, will be completely open tonight, with all warriors having their rest time canceled upon notification.

3. The people living in Residence areas A and B have all been driven out by the base.

These events happened half an hour ago. As soon as I learned of the news, I immediately came over with Kong Wu.”

After finishing his explanation, Song Qian paused, “Unfortunately, the base’s curfew hasn’t been lifted, and we had to avoid patrol warriors on the way here, which delayed us a bit.”

“Brother Song, how did you come to know such secret information?” Ye Qing looked suspiciously at Song Qian.

“After I separated from you guys, I went to report at the Yaoben Base branch. I’m on the evacuation list too; the branch head of the base added me at the last minute.”

“Then coming to us now, aren’t you defying orders?”

“I take orders directly from Mo Jingsheng; the branch head here doesn’t have authority over me. And ensuring your safe passage to East Mountain was the only task Mo Jingsheng gave me before I left Anming.

You might find it strange, and that’s understandable. But these aren’t important now, we need to get out of here first. As for the rest, I’ll explain in detail when I have a chance after coming back to Yaoben through the official channels.”

Oh, taking orders directly from Mo Jingsheng?

Jiang Yan arched an eyebrow, silently giving Song Qian a glance.

It was rare for him to actually spill some substantial information.

However, she still didn’t understand what Mo Jingsheng’s purpose was in assigning him this task.

Beside her, Su Dai rubbed her temples.

For some reason, whenever she was around Song Qian, she felt as if her brain wasn’t working properly.

As if the CPU was burning up.

Once Song Qian finished speaking, Sun Jingtao frowned deeply.

Looking at Song Qian’s expression, it didn’t seem like he was lying.

Nor did he have any reason to lie.

It looked like something big was indeed about to happen in Xiangcheng.

However, he couldn’t understand the third point about driving people out.

Just as surprised as him was Jiang Yan, “Where were the people from Residence area driven to?”

Song Qian raised his eyebrows in recollection for a second, “Apparently to the base’s entrance.”

Everyone: “…” What kind of bizarre operation was that.

There was silence in the room for a second.

“Boom boom!”

“Boom boom!”

A few earth-shattering roars suddenly came from outside.

The ground felt like it was slightly trembling.

Several people, who had experienced earthquakes before, went on high alert in a split second, their bottoms “whooshing” off their chairs as they sprang to their feet.

Ye Qing picked up a candle and checked the chandelier inside the room, then exhaled in relief, “It’s not an earthquake.”

“Never mind what it is, grab the essential supplies and let’s get out of here first!” Song Qian stood up and walked to the door, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

“Brother Song, just a moment,” Sun Jingtao said and then quickly stood, striding upstairs.

Jiang Yan, Ye Qing, and Su Dai followed closely behind.

Song Qian shook his head reluctantly and also headed up.

On the second floor, opposite Jiang Yan’s room, there was a relatively small balcony.

The group quickly pushed open the glass door and strode out.

Near the base entrance, within the dense, dark haze, one could vaguely see some buildings collapsing with loud crashes.

The rumbling sounds and slight trembling were coming from there.

And near that area, flames shot into the sky, and intermittent gunfire could be heard.

“My God, what’s happening?!” Su Dai exclaimed in shock, “Is there a war going on?”

“It’s probably not a war, it’s more like something has broken into the base,” said Sun Jingtao, frowning.

“Squeak squeak~”

“Squeak squeak!”

Strange sounds came from within the haze.

“Could it be?”

“What is that?”

The group thought of the giant Mutated Rat buried in the backyard and their faces turned pale.

“Do you know what it is?!” This time, it was Song Qian who was astonished.

At this point, there was no sense in hiding anything anymore.

As Sun Jingtao kept a vigilant eye on their surroundings, he explained,

“It’s said that a pregnant Mutated Rat, enormous in size, at least two meters, escaped from Dr. Xue’s lab. Out there is likely another of those rats’ kind.”

The reason they didn’t suggest that the giant rat could be a product of the lab was that they had seen naturally occurring leeches, fish, scorpions, etc., all grown in size…

By that deduction, it wasn’t out of the question for rats to grow larger as well.

“Could it be, they are using the live people from Residence area as bait to block the mouths of these mutated rats? Heaven!” Su Dai suddenly cried out as her imagination went wild.

Recalling the scene where the mother rat in the backyard bit off a person’s head caused Su Dai to shiver subconsciously.

Su Dai’s words caused a sinking feeling in everyone’s hearts.

Rats are known to burrow.

The burrowing abilities of mutated rats would undoubtedly be stronger.

Therefore, even if all the warriors from the base were concentrated at the entrance, they couldn’t possibly stop the mutated rats.

But if there was an attraction of food, then the rats’ attention would naturally be drawn.

In such a setting where visibility was hindered by the haze, concentrating firepower would be much easier.

Even the rats’ advance could slow down as they fought over food.

It was just the idea of using human lives as bait that was somewhat beyond comprehension.

Seeing that the group was still standing still, Song Qian became anxious,

“Let’s go! Now that the fighting is concentrated at the entrance to the base, if we leave immediately from the back of the base, we might still have a chance!”

By now, Sun Jingtao and the others realized how serious the situation was and didn’t say more, quickly descending the stairs.

Fortunately, they had just settled in, and their luggage had hardly been unpacked.

However, they had just picked up those hunting rifles and Ye Qing quickly organized everything, collecting the bullets and only taking two rifles.

With somber expressions, they carried their luggage to the front yard and listened intently for a few seconds.

Ensuring no other sounds were outside, Sun Jingtao took a step forward and cautiously opened the door.
