Chapter 154 Beijing
Chapter 154 Beijing
The dock at the South China base was already filled with soldiers, and Yang Xiao could clearly see that they were all holding guns and aiming them at them in the air.
"Holy crap, they're aiming at us!" Yang Xiao shouted at the top of his lungs.
"I'm not afraid!" Lu Yuan shouted in response.
"You're not afraid! I am! I'm just a human, one shot and I'm gone!" Yang Xiao knew that Lu Yuan was always wearing his mecha, since he would be dead if he took it off. Although he didn't know the bulletproof level of the mecha, it was a mecha, so it should be able to block one or two bullets.
"Don't be afraid!" As Lu Yuan spoke, his flying speed suddenly increased, and in the blink of an eye, Yang Xiao found himself almost touching the sea surface of the dock.
"You wouldn't... glug glug glug..." Just as Yang Xiao was about to ask Lu Yuan if he was planning to use water escape, he had already swallowed a large mouthful of seawater.
"Are we really not going together?" Wei Cheng asked, glancing at Zhong Qiang, who was sleeping on the floor in their dormitory.
Lin Yun and Ji Lang have been on some kind of mission for five days now and haven't returned. Gu Nanfeng and Pei Sihao haven't come to check on them either, which has made the three of them very nervous these past two days.
The alarm just went off at the base, and that's when they saw Lu Yuan in the air through their dormitory window. Before he evolved his superpowers, they wouldn't have been able to see that Lu Yuan was still holding Yang Xiao. Wasn't it said that Yang Xiao had already left the base?
"I don't know either." Among the group, Zhong Qiang was the first to know Lu Yuan and the others. Wei Cheng and Li Minze met later, so both of them looked at Zhong Qiang, but Zhong Qiang was also really clueless.
“David, stop asking. Even if we wanted to go, we couldn’t go now.” Li Minze was more rational. The three of them couldn’t leave the base on their own right now, so thinking about it was pointless.
“That’s true. Neither Brother Gu nor Brother Pei has made a move, so let’s not bother ourselves.” After thinking for a while, the three of them went back to their own beds.
As Lu Yuan and Yang Xiao fell into the sea, the docks at the South China Base were thrown into chaos. Some temporarily recruited superhumans, under Commander Zhang's command, also jumped into the sea, while some soldiers boarded speedboats at the dock and headed out to sea.
After a period of commotion, the search party slowly surfaced, and the speedboats returned one after another. The dock gradually quieted down. After the soldiers and superhumans who had been on duty left in formation, only Commander Zhang was left staring blankly at the sea.
"Holy crap, Lu Xiaoyuan, I almost thought I was going to die!" Nearly a hundred meters below the sea surface, a submarine was slowly moving forward. When Yang Xiao fell into the sea, he really choked on a mouthful of water, but just when he thought he was going to die, they suddenly appeared inside a submarine and then began to sink rapidly.
He knew the submarine must have been taken out of Lu Yuan's spatial storage, but he never expected they could be inside it directly. By the time the superhumans from the South China base submerged, their submarine had already descended to a depth inaccessible to humans.
"Didn't you leave?" Lu Yuan's first question was still the same one.
"With my intelligence, how could I possibly walk on my own? I just didn't expect you to be controlled." Yang Xiao said, clearing his throat as he spoke, still feeling the taste of seawater in his throat.
"I have to thank you." Lu Yuan smiled helplessly. He didn't know how to operate a submarine at all. He just set it to dive at high speed when he took it out of his space, which is why they were able to escape.
“I left your dorm this morning intending to go to work at the cafeteria, but I noticed someone was following me on the way.” Yang Xiao continued, “What kind of person am I? I’m a shrewd person who has lived two lives. I immediately knew that our conversation yesterday must have been eavesdropped on, so I ran to the dock, took our yacht out, and then quietly swam back and hid.”
"You're really something!" Lu Yuan chuckled. "But it's a good thing you didn't leave, otherwise I wouldn't know where to look for you."
"You're planning to run away to find me?" Yang Xiao thought he had misheard. Lu Yuan, the carefree Lu Yuan, actually wanted to take an adventure with him.
“I’ve been locked up. Gu Ge and the others definitely can’t think of a reasonable way to get me out, which is why they haven’t come. If I force my way out, the base definitely won’t be able to stay any longer. Where else can I go if I don’t come to you?” Lu Yuan was studying the submarine’s operating system as he spoke.
"Tsk, you made me all excited for nothing." Yang Xiao rinsed his mouth a few more times with the mineral water Lu Yuan had given him before walking over to Lu Yuan's side and looking at his hands sliding around in front of the submarine's control panel, he asked, "You know how?"
"No, what about you?" Lu Yuan withdrew his claws and looked at Yang Xiao again.
“That’s a must…” Yang Xiao dragged out the last two words, then blurted out, “No way!”
“Alright, then we’ll have to go with option two.” As he spoke, Lu Yuan took out a diving suit and an oxygen tank from his spatial storage, pointed to one of the suits at Yang Xiao, and began to put it on himself.
"Lu Xiaoyuan, have you been on steroids these past few days? Or did you take the wrong medicine?" Yang Xiao felt like Lu Yuan was possessed by Gu Nanfeng. Although he didn't understand what Lu Yuan was trying to do, he still put on the diving suit.
“Right now, only the two of us are unreliable. Someone has to be reliable.” After saying that, Lu Yuan put the oxygen mask on his head and then nodded to Yang Xiao, signaling him to put it on as well.
"How am I unreliable? I've always been reliable, okay!" Yang Xiao certainly didn't agree that he was an unreliable person, but seeing that Lu Yuan didn't want to waste time discussing such trivial matters with him, he quickly put on his oxygen mask and turned on the oxygen valve with Lu Yuan.
Yang Xiao was still wondering what Lu Yuan was up to when he felt a sudden tightening on his wrist, and Lu Yuan had grabbed him. Before he could react, he felt himself surrounded by the ocean, and he began to drift with it. Even with an oxygen tank, he felt like he was about to explode. But in just a few seconds, he reappeared in the submarine, completely soaked.
"What are you doing!" Yang Xiao looked around and saw it was still the same submarine. He was completely taken aback and immediately took off his oxygen mask to ask Lu Yuan.
"I can't operate a submarine, and neither can you, so I can only put it back in my spatial storage, set it up, and then take it out again." After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he took off his diving suit and gave Yang Xiao some clean clothes to change into.
"So what do we do next?" Yang Xiao asked Lu Yuan, who was preparing food, as he changed his clothes and dried his hair.
"Beijing," Lu Yuan replied without turning his head.
