Something bloody flashed through Lin Xiao's mind. How had he not noticed it before? It seemed as if this unlucky child had undergone a craniotomy on the spot, and Qi Tian had likely used his bare hands, without gloves, to perform the procedure.
The image would have been all the more horrifying. It was understandable that these poor wretches were left with psychological scars.
"I get the gist of it. Alright, you can ask your questions. I'm just accompanying you this time… and maybe looking for something suitable to take back."
As Lin Xiao spoke, he began to wander around the base.
"Hand over the data," Qi Tian commanded the terrified researcher.
"No… no… I can't…"
He clutched his head, trembling. He was clearly afraid and knew that if he refused, he would face death or become an experimental subject.
But he couldn't speak out.
If he did, his family's lives would end.
Everything he had would be lost.
In this country, they would be erased as if by an eraser.
"Fine."
Qi Tian nodded.
At the sound of his voice, the researcher instinctively looked up. Why was this madman being so accommodating?
But the next second, he saw a massive hand.
The hand descended, grabbed him, and then slammed him to the ground. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"Since you're unwilling to speak, I'll just find out for myself what's going on."
As Qi Tian spoke, he pressed two fingers together and touched the man's forehead.
Instantly, the man's eyes lost focus, becoming vacant. His previously taut body relaxed.
"Where is the data?" Qi Tian asked.
"All data in the base has been destroyed. It only exists in encrypted cloud storage…"
"Encrypted cloud storage? Can you access it now?" Qi Tian asked, as he opened his laptop and placed it beside the researcher.
"Yes."
The man, as if a puppet, was controlled by Qi Tian. He then sat up and began downloading the data from the cloud using Qi Tian's computer.
"This place will self-destruct in a minute. Should we leave?"
Lin Xiao didn't seem to notice the researchers running away on foot, trying to escape the facility. He didn't stop the giants, nor did anyone else.
This experimental base was vast. It would take at least two minutes for these people to reach the exit from their current location. They didn't have enough time.
"Good."
Qi Tian called out. One of his two giant puppets hoisted the researcher who was operating the computer onto its shoulder. Then, with a leap, it exited the base through the same way they had entered.
Jones watched the base's feed, his face grim.
Previously, to ascertain what was inside John's brain, they had conducted examinations, but found nothing. Now, at this very moment, this person had instantly gained control of John.
"Precision strike ready!" a voice came from his communicator.
"Fire!"
Jones was decisive. To ensure that their years of hard work would not fall into the hands of that madman, this was their only option.
