Chapter 10 Escape
The size of the air defense system that exists in Minister Huang's memory is only one-tenth that of the Heshan base.
Although the place is not big, it was used to store food, so there may be some food hoarding.
The base's top brass knew of its existence from the very beginning, but no one was ever sent there to survey it.
With their current protection capabilities, it is basically impossible to get there intact.
Even if we arrive, we can't bring back the things there smoothly.
They have been waiting.
Wait for a time when you have to go, or a new turning point occurs.
The emergence of mushrooms that can withstand nuclear radiation may be such a turning point.
"Hey..." Under Minister Huang's sincere eyes, Xu Xuelin sighed, then nodded and said: "I will try my best."
"I have been obsessed with this project during this period. As long as I can make a breakthrough, I believe that no matter how big the sacrifice is, it will be worth it!"
"Very good! Then we will wait for your good news!" Minister Huang was satisfied when Xu Xuelin finally gave his promise.
Anyway, the blame has been thrown out. When there is a problem, it will be the problem of Deputy Director Xu!
Before he knew that all these thoughts in his heart were clearly touched by a mushroom, this bloated man left here with heavy steps after achieving his goal.
After he left, Bai Mogu watched Xu Xuelin perform a lot of physical examinations on himself.
The content of protein and amino acids is very high, and it is also rich in multiple vitamins.
This means that if nothing else, it should be a nutritious and delicious mushroom!
……
Time soon came to the day when the rebels escaped from the base.
Under the control of Bai Mogu, Minister Huang quietly transported a batch of protective clothing from the base warehouse and handed it over to Xie Jun, the leader of the rebel army.
As the first level to enter the base, there is a temporary storage room near the base gate.
Basically, everything brought back from the surface will be stored here for inspection first. However, no extraterrestrial survey team went out during this period, so it was temporarily idle.
After hiding these protective suits and other supplies to be taken off-planet, Xie Jun sent an "evacuation" order to others.
Through a layer-by-layer network of relationships, this order spread throughout the entire rebel army within one day.
At two o'clock in the morning, a curfew was officially implemented in the residential area on the first floor of the base.
Dozens of base patrols holding firearms walked back and forth among the gray-white honeycomb-like houses.
They are the guardians of the entire residential area, protecting everyone's safety at night.
But not anymore.
To the rebels, these people are enemies!
The night was quiet, and most people were already asleep. Suddenly, black smoke came out of a house in Area A farthest from the base gate.
"Cough cough... cough cough cough...!" Thick smoke billowed outwards, and several young men with hair burnt brown by the fire rushed out of the room, coughing.
Behind them, the gray-white building was already on fire, and the fiery flames engulfed the entire room, sweeping away all the combustible items inside.
Such anomalies quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding base patrols, who hurried over here.
"Why are there so many people in the same room? Who among you is the owner of A2376? Tell me what's going on!" After these men were uniformed and detained, an inspector shouted loudly.
"I...ahem...I am the owner of the house!"
"It's my birthday today. I originally wanted to invite some friends to celebrate and cook myself a bowl of longevity noodles, but who knew... it suddenly caught fire." His hands and feet were restrained and he knelt on the ground. A man with disheveled hair fell to the ground.
He lowered his head and mumbled.
"You are breaking the law! No fire is allowed in residential areas, and no one is allowed to gather privately!" Angered by this explanation, the inspector gave him an electric baton directly.
Amidst the man's screams, the fire behind him burned more fiercely, and residents around him noticed something unusual and woke up one after another.
"No one is allowed to come out! No matter what you see today, pretend you didn't see it!"
Giving a warning to the residents watching the excitement, the inspector quickly mobilized other companions and asked them to rush here to put out the fire.
Without the back-and-forth inspections, hundreds of rebels quietly walked out of their houses in the darkness.
And just when all the inspection eyes were attracted by the fire, the detained men exchanged a vague look.
"Bang!" As if a switch was touched, there was an explosion in the room.
The heat wave rolled outwards, and at the same time it brought out a burst of thick white smoke.
Mixed with the surrounding black smoke, the thick smoke caused by the explosion hardly attracted the attention of others.
"Plop!" At this moment, an inspector closest to the fire point fell straight to the ground.
"Plop...plop!" As if it triggered a chain reaction, all the patrolmen who came into contact with the smoke fell to the ground.
Seeing my companions falling down one after another around me, an inspection team discovered something was wrong, but it was a pity that it was too late.
High concentrations of anesthetic gas are inhaled into the lungs, and almost no one can survive for ten seconds.
"Quick! Take away their guns!" As the last person fell, Xie Jun, who had been hiding nearby, led several rebels wearing masks and swarmed forward.
They dragged away the fainted companions and quickly snatched the guns from the patrollers' hands.
Everything seems a little too smooth today...
There was no head-on conflict, nor did it attract reinforcements from the base. The mission was successfully completed by just sneaking out anesthetics from the hospital.
Seeing that things were developing exactly as he had expected, without any deviation, Xie Jun felt vaguely uneasy.
He didn't know where this uneasiness came from, he just sensed something was wrong.
There seems to be something that I have been neglecting these days, but what is it?
Wait...how on earth did I get these anesthetics out of the hospital?
"Captain! Are we going to open the door now?" Before Xie Jun could figure it out, he saw his companions already gathering towards him.
Now is the time to race against time. There is no time to think about things. He temporarily put aside the doubts in his heart and led everyone to run towards the door: "Let's go! Let's go out now!"
After they left, several of the patrolmen who had fallen to the ground twitched their bodies a few times, and a large piece of slender hyphae slowly crawled out from the ear holes.
Different from the usual state, these hyphae are now twisted and tangled together, like a ball of knotted wool, or a ball of worms that are twisted and squirming around each other.
Uncomfortable.
Bai Mogu feels very uncomfortable now.
Since being exposed to those anesthetic gases, its hyphae have begun to lose control.
It felt so dizzy that it seemed to be floating on the clouds, and it was so heavy that it seemed as if it was tied with iron blocks, making it impossible to lift it up.
I am obviously a mushroom, how could I be knocked down by human anesthetics?
Because those hyphae have turned into human structures, or am I originally affected by these things?
In any case, don’t come into contact with anesthetics again until you figure it out!
Chapter completed!
