The other end was full of shooting sounds. The guard’s voice was shaking as he reported on the situation.
Death was only a step away from them.
“Hold on, we are almost there! Do not let Zero enter the elevator!” Captain Schiska responded anxiously.
On the other side of the battlefield, Elrond had already rushed to the guard’s side.
He was like a wolf entering a flock of sheep.
Every time he swung his knife, he took a life.
Schiska heard the merciless cries from the walkie talkie.
It was obvious that Test Subject Zero had killed all the guards stationed at the elevator’s entrance.
Schiska was furious.
His eyes gradually turned red and he roared, “Zero, don’t let me catch you, or I’ll tear you into pieces.”
To his surprise, Elrond’s voice came from the walkie talkie, which was hanging by his abdomen.
“I’ll be waiting for you guys.”
Elrond sounded like a ghost.
Schiska suddenly realized a very serious problem.
Elrond seemed to have gotten hold of their private walkie-talkie.
If that was the case, didn’t that meant that Elrond already knew about their deployment?
“F*ck,” Schiska cursed. “Quick, all of you, on the double! We must capture Test Subject Zero.”
Schiska silently consoled himself.
“It’s fine.
“Even if Elrond knows about our deployment, what can he do?
“We will still be able to catch hold of Zero if we are fast enough.”
Both of them knew that this was a race against time.
Whoever won the race against time would be the final victor.
On the other end, Elrond took out a light blue metal card from his pocket.
He got this access card from Henry York.
With this access card, he would be able to use the elevator to reach the surface.
Elrond had barely stepped into the elevator when he discovered that Sirius’s Team Two and Team Three had just arrived.
Captain Schiska and Elrond stared at each other.
Elrond showed a dominant smile and closed the elevator’s door.
Captain Schiska was so angry that he stomped his feet.
He took out the walkie talkie and said, “Bill, Test Subject Zero has entered the elevator. I believe his goal is to escape from the base. Lead everyone to the surface and intercept him.”
On the other end of the walkie talkie, Captain Bill exclaimed in surprise. “What? He took the elevator to the surface. Okay, I got it. I’ll bring everyone to the surface and set up a fortification there.”
However, Elrond had already reached the surface.
The long-lost sunlight shone on his body, and that made him feel warm and comfortable.
The stuffy feeling in his chest slowly dissipated, and he looked at the sky.
The sun was shining brightly.
Elrond let out a long breath.
The taste of freedom made one feel relaxed and happy.
He lingered over this feeling for a long time.
He had finally escaped from the laboratory.
Originally, Elrond had already prepared himself for the worst.
Even if the elevator was the fastest avenue to reach the surface, what awaited him might be a shower of bullets.
However, there were no guards at all.
It seemed that the guards in the experimental base were too carefree.
They did not have the slightest awareness of crisis at all.
Other than the few intelligent captains, everyone else was like a walking undead.
This was why Elrond could make his escape so easily.
Without Elrond’s careful preparation, none of this would have happened.
No matter if it was blowing up the surveillance room, or retrieving Henry York’s access, it was all part of his plan.
But the most important part was still his combat ability.
If not for the full-body exoskeleton mecha, he would probably be seriously injured even if he managed to escape.
The first thing Elrond did after his escape was to survey the surroundings.
This was a dilapidated industrial factory.
If he remembered correctly, there should be a run-down garage nearby.
There was an abandoned armored SUV in the dilapidated garage.
When Elrond last saw it, the damage on the abandoned SUV was not very serious.
Based on Elrond’s current level, he should be able to repair it within a few minutes.
It was necessary to have a car.
So even this would cause a slight delay, he had to repair it.
His next journey was going to be slow and distant.
No matter how strong his endurance was, he would be exhausted.
Moreover, not many people knew about the abandoned garage. Neither would anyone think that Elrond would go there instead of escaping.
Suddenly, Elrond heard an irregular rhythm of footsteps from afar.
The pursuers should have arrived.
Without thinking, Elrond sprinted with the support of his mechanical legs.
He arrived at the dilapidated garage shortly after.
After Elrond entered the garage, he carefully scrutinized the SUV.
He finally heaved a sigh of relief after he did a check.
“Luckily, the damage isn’t too serious. The motor’s just broken.”
He had already prepared the equipment for maintenance.
He knew that if he managed to escape, it was necessary to use this abandoned SUV.
So whenever he was doing mechanic work in the past, he would secretly steal some spare parts.
Now, it was finally of use.
Based on his experience in mechanics, he only took three minutes to disassemble, repair, and reassemble the motor.
The key to the armored SUV was still inside the keyhole, and no one removed it.
This was to Elrond’s advantage.
Removing his exoskeleton mecha, Elrond started the car and put his hands on the steering wheel.
He stepped on the gas pedal, and it gave off a loud buzzing sound.
Elrond was extremely happy.
The SUV was in working condition.
Then he moved the gear stick into the third gear and depressed the gas pedal fully.
The headlights of the SUV made it look like a wild beast as the engine roared.
He released the brake. The SUV broke through the garage like a wild beast and jumped into the sky.
There was a dense forest in front.
Elrond did not have any equipment on him that could differentiate the direction.
Moreover, he did not understand the terrain of this area.
He could only pick one direction and keep going forward.
Whatever.
As long as he could escape the pursuit of New Life Organization, he would be able to do whatever he wanted.
With the experience of his previous life and the help of the system, no matter where he went, Elrond would be able to do well.
He just had to make sure that he was not caught by them.
The SUV sped through the jungle.
Elrond was fascinated by the forest’s breath of life.
The air here was so refreshing.
In his previous life’s world, it was a rare sight to see such a vibrant jungle.
Especially when Voyage’s monsters broke through time and space, intruding into their world.
They recklessly destroyed the world’s land and living creatures.
The forests were all burnt down.
Blue Pole Star was a living hell back then.
But now, he was reborn in the Voyage world.
He had to stop the incident that would happen one and a half years later.
So within this period, everyone had to improve their strength steadily like mad. To do what they wanted when facing the impending danger, and to protect the people they loved.
