The Boss Behind The Game

Chapter 260 - The Broken Page

Chapter 260: The Broken Page

Burst!

Both Deputy Director Li and their leader’s head had exploded. Blood was scattered everywhere. The other guards had no idea what to do.

They aimed at Number One in a split second and started shooting.

However, something incredible happened.

As the X bullets hit Number One, they actually managed to cause a little damage to his body. Before they could penetrate further, though, they were squeezed out by his muscles and the wounds were healing by themselves at a noticeable speed.

The security guards who were witnessing this were all dumbfounded.

Even the X bullets with great lethality couldn’t kill Number One. Could the explosion bullets kill him?

With the current distance, they were uncertain whether Number One would be killed by such a bullet, but they were absolutely positive that they would be killed if they didn’t at least try.

However, Number One gave them no time to think twice. Along with a loud roar, he sprinted toward them. It was as if his arms were like two heavy pieces of lead and anyone who was smacked along the way ended up spurting blood from their mouths on the ground, losing all their ability to continue fighting.

Upon encountering such a scary Number One, it was useless for them to fight back. They could only wait to be slaughtered.

After killing around ten security guards, Number One was then at the entrance to the main control room. He turned and stared right at the security camera above him before shouting, “Open the door!”

Upon hearing this, the monitoring personnel stuttered, “I… I can’t open this door.”

As Number One heard this, he changed his gaze toward the metal door once again. He lowered his body and slammed himself hard onto the metal door.

Bam!

The metal door was shaking along with a deafening thud.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The frightened gaze of the worker grew as Number One was slamming against the door insanely. The metal dent became obvious on the door.

After a few trial runs, Number One stopped slamming and fell into deep thought as he was looking at the dented yet unbroken metal door.

Looking at this, the monitoring personnel worker heaved a huge sigh of relief.

If anything happened to the important data in the main control room, the headquarters would never let him get away with it.

After confirming Number One couldn’t break into the entrance of the main control room, the worker quickly turned around and closed the door of the monitoring room to prevent Number One from finding him.

After glancing at Number One who was still in his original position, the worker took out a communication device and started contacting headquarters, urgently reporting the current situation.

When he was done, the worker gave orders to all of the researchers on the base to not panic and find the closest safe room.

These safe rooms were originally used to contain the specimens which had lost control, with all four walls made up of the latest alloy materials. They would never have thought that one day they would be the ones in them.

After settling everything, the worker glanced back at the entrance of the main control room.

He was so shocked by what he saw on the screen.

He saw a black light sword had slowly formed out of Number One’s hands. The light sword was then used to chop open the unbreakable metal door like slicing bread.

Not only the monitoring personnel worker but the other workers from headquarters who were watching the scene through the security cameras were also scared witless.

They had done a lot of research regarding the data of Number One’s body previously. There was one thing that they were sure of – this supernatural ability was not being produced by the remodeling of Number One.

The ability to materialize soul energy was what they were pursuing at the current stage.

Mutation!

The same thought appeared instantly in all the minds of the researchers at headquarters.

Their gaze was gradually filled with desire. In their perspective, the value of Number One was rising continuously.

“He cannot be killed… we must have him… he seems to have mastered the spell from the ancient cultivation system!” shouted Professor Yard from the main experiment base eagerly as he watched Number One pacing toward the main control room.

In the main control room, the lights of various apparatus were flickering, creating a truly science fiction-like atmosphere.

After wandering around the place, Number One fell into silence.

Although he knew there was a self-explosion system in the main control room, he knew nothing about how to activate it.

He considered for some time before he headed toward the main console and started scanning the various buttons on it.

Later, he was attracted to a broken page that was kept in a glass container on the console.

This broken page seemed special, its surface was glimmering with fluorescence.

This was a research base but this paper was protected in the main control room. Consequently, it piqued Number One’s curiosity.

Number One thought for a while before he swayed the light sword to cut open the glass container which was made with unknown material slowly. He then took out the broken page with fluorescence.

“Hmm?”

As soon as he took the paper, Number One’s hand sank. The weight of the paper was out of Number One’s expectation. He made a rough estimation, deducing the weight of the broken page to be around one ton.

It was then a sound echoed in Number One’s mind.

“Number One, bring that page back with you!”

Upon hearing Bei Li’s voice, the anger on Number One’s face disappeared. He was suddenly looking respectful.

“Now put your hands onto the main console and I will control the soul power in you. Leave it to me for the rest!”

Without any hesitation, Number One followed Bei Li’s order and put his hands onto the main console.

A wisp of soul power then escaped from Number One’s body and entered the main console.

Then, the data on the screen was scrolling very quickly and paragraphs of encrypted internal programs of the base were revealed.

In a wink, all the programs of the main console disappeared, leaving only a red caution command…

[Confirm activating the base’s self-explosion system!]

The sentence disappeared right after that and a countdown appeared.

Number One should have been destroyed together with the base and this self-explosion system didn’t originally have any countdown setting.

But after she saw the broken page, Bei Li changed her mind and did some quick programming.

With the start of the self-explosion countdown, the alarm of the whole base started blaring and Number One started to leave with the heavy broken page.

After he got back to the metal passage using the elevator, Number One destroyed the elevator control with his fist and walked toward the huge stone outside the passage.

When the notification of the self-explosion was heard, all the researchers in the safe room panicked. Some of them even cried.

They opened the safe room and ran outside as fast as they could. Even the monitoring personnel workers weren’t planning to stay and chose to rush out with the others.

When the whole base exploded, as long as they were still inside, they would surely be dead. Only escaping would provide them a chance of survival.

As for all the important research data in the database and information room, they were all abandoned directly under the threat of death.

However, when they reached the elevator, they found that the elevator had already been destroyed and they could never leave the base.

At that moment, all the researchers and workers were full of despair.

They leaned against the metal wall outside the elevator, knowing that their end was near.

Number One had already exited the huge stone door on the outside of the base.

He looked back at the mountain base and backed up for a distance. He didn’t leave right away. He stared at the huge stone door and waited there instead.

The order he got was to destroy the whole Human Experiment Base, so he couldn’t let anyone escape.

As time passed, a heavy thud was suddenly heard and the ground started trembling vigorously.

The ground above the laboratory started to collapse, including the stone disguised as the entrance – everything fell into a collapsed pit.

Everything in the base was destroyed including the data, researchers, workers, and even those other specimens which were badly ravaged.

Taking a last glance at the huge sunken pit, Number One left with the broken page, looking indifferently.
