Surprise! The Supposed Talent Show Was Actually-?!

Chapter 109.2- Leaving

The R-Code Base training ground was full of people.

The burning fire filled up half the sky, illuminating Wu Jin’s vision. Some people in the crowd who’d just gone crazy over the offered rewards were now in a panic, and there were people now trembling as they discussed the situation in fear.

“The base won’t care if we’re burned”, “On that side, they’re blocked by the power grid and can’t get out. On this side, they said that the information being burned is more important than the people––now, nobody dares to go in to put out the fire, and they’re starting to catch people from the lowest level up.”

“The instructors... aren’t going inside. They’re just watching us go in.” Someone shivered, “Who’s fighting the fires now?”

“Two of the genetically modified. They’ve been emotionally locked.”

At this time, even the hardest-headed ones felt shivers run down their backs. There were two dead ends in front of them. Disobedience would cause them to be destroyed by the base, but even if they obeyed––after the emotional lock was put in, they could easily be controlled by the base.

A riot began at the end of the crowd, “The iron gate! The iron gate is open, someone ran out!”

At the edge of the R-Code Base.

The warning equipment didn’t respond due to the damaged circuits, and Wei Shi looked back for the last time as they walked away.

This was the iron gate where he’d found the little shortie.

The gun was slung behind Wei Shi. The lighting on this path was very dim, and he held Wu Jin with one hand. The youth looked solemn, and his arm muscles were tense beneath his rolled up sleeves, revealing his faintly powerful outline. He squinted his eyes, imprinting the dark R-Code Base in his mind.

Wu Jin whispered, “We’ll have another home! Although the price of land outside is very high, we can definitely buy a house that’s larger than the dormitory with our combined efforts...”

Wei Shi turned his head, “Shut up, who says that this is home.” He stopped looking at the base. “I remember the way out. In the future, I’ll come back and get revenge for you.”

Wu Jin was amused and smiled broadly, showing little white teeth that held no lethal biting power.

There was a sudden disturbance at the iron gates behind them, and footsteps sounded, accompanied by short pants. They couldn’t tell if it was from anxiousness or excitement.

Wei Shi no longer tried to remember everything in detail. They weren’t the only ones who wanted to escape from the R-Code Base.

There were other genetically modified––

The boy who cried and howled in the training ground normally was crawling on all fours like a centipede as he waded through the mud outside the iron gate in order to squeeze outside.

He looked up to see the scene outside the base.

There was a city beyond the black fog in the distance, at the far end of the hillside. The bright lights were like stars embedded in the night, and huge billboards set atop the buildings loomed out from the forest.

The youth who’d failed his genetic transformation laughed loudly and eerily, the sound echoing creepily in the dark. The fleeing youth all kept away from him as they rushed towards the hills in a panic––

The sound of sirens suddenly went off.

Wei Shi didn’t hesitate to hold onto Wu Jin tightly, “Run!”
