Xiong Yong'an quickly climbed into the passenger seat and fastened his seatbelt.
Ming Letong clutched the table, on the verge of tears. He had never experienced anything so terrifying.
"Sister Qian, give me the walkie-talkie!"
Xu Qian's mind raced, and she swiftly tossed the object in her hand towards him.
Xiang Jintian's expression grew more grave. He lowered his voice and commanded,
"In the name of the Bright Base's army commander, instruct them to immediately dispatch two fighter jets for support. Send them our location and bomb them directly!"
"Yes!"
Xiang Jintian was an excellent driver. Apart from the initial surprise attack, he managed to evade all subsequent artillery fire.
"Let's head to T Province to lie low for a while."
Even in this situation, Xu Qian couldn't help but smile.
"You truly are his good brother."
Xiang Jintian raised an eyebrow, tilting his head.
"The military aircraft will be here soon. We won't implicate them."
He sharply turned the steering wheel, effortlessly dodging another shell.
The pursuing vehicles drew closer, and bullets began to pierce the car, riddling the interior panels with holes.
Xu Qian's expression tightened, fearing they might not live to see their rescue.
Suddenly, earth walls, as tall as a person, emerged from the ground.
However, their effectiveness was short-lived, as the pursuing vehicles quickly smashed through them.
Xiong Yong'an could only repeatedly use his ability, trying to buy time.
"Yong'an, don't exhaust your powers."
Xiong Yong'an's face paled slightly as he loudly acknowledged.
Hou Xiaoqing calmly snapped his fingers.
Instantly, fierce winds surged towards them.
Even the military aircraft overhead were buffeted and swayed from side to side.
Xu Qian's eyes flickered. Was the wind ability so powerful?
She closed her eyes and used her ability to cover several of the approaching cars.
Although she couldn't kill them, she could at least give them splitting headaches.
Xu Qian didn't target the most crucial part of the car, the driver's seat.
Her target was the drivers!
She channeled her psychic energy to subtly envelop their core crystals and then abruptly contracted it.
Suddenly, several cars screeched to a halt, and the vehicles behind them, caught off guard, crashed into them.
The scene descended into chaos.
Military aircraft.
Lian Du's eyes were icy cold. He licked his molars and ordered, "Switch to cannons for me!"
"Yes."
A subordinate behind him handed him a larger assault cannon.
The subordinate bowed respectfully.
"Young Master Lian, the surveillance footage has been retrieved."
Lian Du, who was about to fire, paused. "Show it to me."
The subordinate shrewdly handed over a tablet, which quickly displayed the elevator surveillance footage.
A girl appeared out of thin air in the elevator, like a ghost.
Lian Du's slender, fox-like eyes narrowed into slits. He dragged the progress bar back and watched it again.
After repeating the process five or six times, he suddenly let out a laugh.
The surrounding subordinates flinched in fear.
"Interesting, an invisibility ability too."
"Inform the men below: whoever manages to capture this woman alive will be heavily rewarded."
"Yes."
Lian Du raised the assault cannon, momentarily unsure where to aim.
What if he hit that woman?
"Never mind, I'll follow them."
Meanwhile, Xu Qian and Hou Xiaoqing's abilities were nearly depleted.
The attackers seemed endless; as soon as one group was dealt with, another appeared, without end.
Even with their combined efforts, they couldn't overcome the sheer numbers.
Xu Qian's face was pale, and beads of cold sweat dripped from her forehead.
"Jintian, our powers are almost gone."
Ming Letong anxiously supported her arm. He had no abilities, so he didn't understand what it felt like to be depleted.
But judging by their appearance, it seemed they would collapse at any moment.
Xiang Jintian frowned and instructed, "Yong'an, hurry them up again."
"Yes."
Xiong Yong'an stared intently at the walkie-talkie. Suddenly, a message came through.
"Ten more minutes!"
"Let's hold on a little longer."
