Chapter 6 Base Members

The guards were lying motionless on the ground, obviously dead. Suwan rushed into the observation room in disbelief. The disinfection room connected to the observation room was still operating as usual. When someone entered the disinfection room, disinfectant spray would be automatically sprayed. Suwan didn't have time to put on protective clothing and go through the disinfection procedures according to the regulations. She went straight through the disinfection room into the observation room and squatted down to observe the guards.

The guards were all shot in the center of their eyebrows, and it seemed that they were shot without any preparation. The blood from the wounds had not yet coagulated. These guards had not been dead for long, and probably died when the laboratory was attacked.

Suwan looked at the bodies on the ground in disbelief. She couldn't imagine it. She thought it was just solitary confinement. And if she and Charlotte hadn't escaped from the confinement room, would they have faced death as well?

Why is this happening? Suwan felt something strange, but now she didn't have time to think about it. The underground experimental area could collapse at any time and she couldn't stay there any longer. Suwan walked out of the observation room with a cold face. When she passed the disinfection room, she was baptized by disinfectant spray again. She was wet and smelled the pungent smell of disinfectant. Charlotte wanted to ask, but Suwan took her out of the code room without saying a word, closed the door, and mixed in with Charlotte again with the evacuees.

The emergency passage was indeed intact. People evacuated in an orderly manner from the emergency passage under the escort of the guards. The two saw hope and quickened their pace in the passage to return to the ground quickly, but Charlotte saw that the face of the person in front of her suddenly changed.

"Those people," Charlotte said to Suwan anxiously, "they took our experimental potion."

There was no problem with the lighting of the emergency passage. Suwan looked forward and saw that there was a person in the crowd running forward carrying a safe. There was a seal for dangerous goods on the safe. This was nothing. The experimental building was attacked and had to be evacuated. Of course, the researchers had to do their best to rescue the research results and take these things out.

"They are the people who were with the reporter," Charlotte said to Suwan in panic, "I don't know when they came in."

It sounds bad. Suwan looked carefully and found that the men carrying the safe and protecting him had some bulge under their lab coats. From the shape of the gun, Suwan could tell that it was a very powerful weapon. The researchers and guards were running forward in the passage. If their identities were exposed at this time, there would be unnecessary casualties. So Suwan just nodded to show that he understood, and pulled Charlotte to quicken their pace, staring at the reporters' accomplices through some people and chasing forward without alerting the enemy.

The exit of the emergency passage is in a forest completely opposite to the direction of the experimental building. The grass covering has been pushed aside and many people have left. Gunshots can be faintly heard here. It is already far away from the center of the college.

Suwan and Charlotte crawled out of the tunnel and saw that the person who had just carried the safe had walked far ahead. Suwan looked around and found that this was the forest on the edge of the college. It was just dawn, and it should be around three or four in the morning. The air in the forest was fresh, but there was a faint smell of gunpowder.

Not far from the exit, there were guards directing the escapees to gather. Suwan and Charlotte avoided them, hid behind a tree, and looked in the direction where the men carrying the safe left, guessing that they were probably the same group as the ones who attacked the academy.

Suwan has no weapon, and it would be very dangerous if the other party noticed her intention, so she can't force it.

'You stay here,' Suwan gestured to Charlotte.

However, Charlotte hurriedly shook her head. She could only trust Suwan now. If she was seen by the guards, she would probably be caught again. Charlotte knew she was guilty, but she didn't want to face death. She was originally going to be executed, but was saved by Suwan on the verge of death. Charlotte would not have any complaints even if Suwan ran away, but Suwan did not give up on Charlotte, which made Charlotte know to cherish her life.

Suwan compromised and gestured to her to slow down. The two of them then slowed down their movements and hunched over to catch up with the person in front.

Those people were walking towards the central teaching building of the academy, which was the center of the battlefield. It seemed that they were going to find someone to pick them up. Suwan and Charlotte were familiar with the environment of the academy and followed them from a distance without being discovered. On the way to the central teaching building, there were already dead bodies on the ground. They were all people in civilian clothes, and occasionally there were a few bodies of students and guards in black combat uniforms. It seemed that a small exchange of fire had just occurred here.

Suwan squatted down to examine the bodies and the weapons of the men, and quickly came to the conclusion: "It's al-Qaeda."

Charlotte exclaimed softly.

Apparently, that reporter also has the same identity.

Charlotte felt guilty. She just wanted to avoid war, but she brought about the war. Suwan picked up the pistol next to the dead student and handed one to Charlotte.

Charlotte looked at the gun and made no attempt to take it.

"Take it," Suwan looked at her and said. Charlotte could only take it passively, but her hands kept shaking, undoubtedly because the gun was too heavy for her.

There is an old Chinese saying: "When a sharp weapon is in your possession, the desire to kill will naturally arise."

Charlotte knew that if she took the gun, it would mean she would kill someone.

Suwan briefly explained to her how to use the gun, then took off the wireless headphones from the dead student's ears and put them on himself to listen to any instructions. However, the academy center happened to be bombarded again at this time, and a piercing sound of interruption was immediately heard from the wireless headphones. Suwan was so irritated that he cursed with a headache, pulled off the headphones and threw them on the ground.

"Let's go," Suwan simply removed some of the equipment from the dead students and put them into the pockets of his combat uniform, then ordered Charlotte.

Although the headset was broken, she could still hear the order for the students to rush to the central teaching building for reinforcement, but Suwan had more important things to do. As Suwan waved her hand, Charlotte followed her closely.

The two men followed the al-Qaeda members carrying the medicine towards the central teaching building. The gunfire became more intense, and there were more corpses on the ground. Gunfire was also heard from the nearby buildings. It was obvious that a fierce battle was going on. The two men became more careful to avoid being injured by stray bullets.

The students here are all war talents. Although they live in a compromised peaceful society, they are all elites in the military and political circles. They are not afraid of the battlefield, but are always facing death. They never leave their service guns, just like they never let their guard down at any time.

It can be said that the real protective force in the academy is not the guards, but the students who seem to be closely protected by the guards.

The badge on the students' combat uniforms is an embroidered patch of a snake and a tiger entangled together, with the tiger opening its mouth and the poisonous snake showing its fangs. This is the nature of the students at Belster Academy.

Charlotte didn't know how to use a gun. As a researcher, she devoted all her energy to research and had never even touched a gun. Suwan didn't have time to teach her detailed knowledge of guns at this time. He simply told her how to pull the trigger - of course, Suwan didn't need to tell her. Charlotte knew that pointing a gun at herself and others was dangerous, so her hands kept shaking, and she nervously held the gun and pointed the muzzle at the ground.

To be honest, the moment Charlotte took the gun, she really wanted to shoot herself.

Look at what you have done, you brought about the war, and all these people died because of you! You should go back to face the trial, but now you are running away! Charlotte kept questioning herself.

But this was not the result Charlotte wanted.

She originally wanted to stop the war before it started, but she believed the radical elements who pretended to be reporters and said they would make the truth public.

Charlotte pointed the gun at herself several times, but she lacked the courage to pull the trigger.

The two hid on the side of a teaching building. Suwan stuck his head out to observe the situation ahead. When he turned around, he saw Charlotte's actions, but did not stop her. Instead, he silently looked away.

Charlotte squatted on the ground, sobbing softly.

In the battlefield filled with gunfire, bullets and smoke, her cries seemed isolated and helpless.

Suwan felt sorry for Charlotte.

Because Charlotte's academic achievements are unparalleled, but her thoughts are as pure as a child.

War is never effective just by being prevented.

Seeing those people walk to a relatively open area, Suwan followed without looking back. Charlotte did not hesitate and wiped her tears immediately. It was meaningless to act like a weak person at this time. She had to learn to grow up as soon as possible, right now.

The two men moved quietly and climbed over the broken glass on the first floor into the teaching building. The men were walking hurriedly forward and didn't notice that behind them, Suwan used the balcony as a cover and hid behind it and fired a few shots. The result was no doubt that the men fell down before they could even look back.

"Are they dead?" Charlotte stuck her head out and looked over. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the men lying on the ground. Then her eyes fixed on the safe containing the medicine next to the bodies. She was about to get up and climb over the window to pick it up.

For a scientific researcher, experimental results are more valuable than life.

Suwan's eyes suddenly narrowed due to the glare from some object.

Suwan pounced on Charlotte and held her tightly in his arms.

A low muffled sound rang in his ears. It was the sound of a bullet sinking into the wall and hitting the balcony. If Suwan had been a step later, Charlotte would have been a corpse.

Sniper.Rifle.

Compared to the dense gunfire in the distance, the situation Suwan faced became more tense.

The two men stayed close to the wall, not daring to make any big movements for fear of exposing their own goals, but this was not a solution, and in Suwan's learning theory, there was no such thing as sitting still and waiting to die.

From the trajectory of the bullet and the surrounding situation, Suwan simulated the sniper's location in her mind, but it took time for her to aim.

"Can you help me?" Suwan asked Charlotte who was protected in his arms.

"Can I help you?" Charlotte asked instead.

Suwan nodded: "It may require you to risk your life."

"I am not afraid of danger," said Charlotte at once, eager to do something to undo the mistake she had made.

Suwan smiled with satisfaction, then retreated carefully along the ground. After finding a new cover, he waved to Charlotte, indicating that she could get up.

What what what? What are you doing? Charlotte pointed at herself in disbelief, and Suwan nodded in affirmation. Suwan also gave her a thumbs up to encourage her.

But Charlotte really doesn't want such encouragement!

Well...it's risking your life.
