There were guards all around the base. No matter how skilled Huo Yao was, she would not be able to defeat so many of them.
There was no way he would let her go since she had delivered herself to him.
Shangguan Hou slowly took a step back and waited for everything to end.
At this moment, a rumbling sound came from the ground. It was so loud that it sounded like an earthquake. Even the walls shook for a moment.
Everyone was stunned by the explosion. They stood rooted to the ground and did not even pay attention to Huo Yao.
"What happened?" asked Shangguan Hou with a frown.
"The sound seems to be coming from the mountain gate outside," said the security team leader quickly. The captain of the Security Department said quickly while pressing his headset to ask the others about the cause of the noise just now.
But there was no response from the earpiece.
The signal had been cut.
The security team leader looked up. Just as he was about to speak, the lights above them suddenly went out.
The passageway instantly turned pitch-black.
They could not see anyone else apart from their own senses.
The faces of the security team leader and Shangguan Hou changed. It was no coincidence that something like this had happened at such a crucial moment.
Both of them snapped out of their daze and looked at where Huo Yao had been standing.
They could not see who it was, but the guards closest to Huo Yao had fallen to the ground one after another.
When Shangguan Hou sensed this, his first reaction was to retreat immediately.
He was no match for Huo Yao, so he would be the one at a disadvantage if he fought her.
Huo Yao glared at Shangguan Hou coldly. She raised her hand and shot out a silver needle with absolute force. Then she turned and ran in the opposite direction.
She was well aware of the defenses here. The power and signal would be restored in less than three minutes.
If they did not leave now, it would take them more time to escape.
Moreover, the 30 minutes that a certain someone had given them were almost up.
Huo Yao remained expressionless. Sure enough, having a boyfriend would only affect her efficiency.
A minute later, the lights in the passageway returned to normal with a beep.
Apart from the security team leader, all his subordinates were lying on the ground. Their faces were purple, and they were all dead.
He had escaped death because he was a little far from Huo Yao.
The security captain's forehead was drenched in cold sweat. He quickly adjusted his headset and found that it was connected again. He quickly ordered his men to activate the base's defense and lock the gate.
After giving his instructions, he noticed Shangguan Hou, who was leaning against the wall nearby. He hurriedly ran over and asked, "Mr. Shangguan, are you alright?"
There was a silver needle in Shangguan Hou's back. More than half of the needle had entered his body. Other than his face, which did not change, the skin on his neck and outside his clothes had gradually turned purple.
Clearly, he was also poisoned.
Seeing this, the captain of the security department was shocked and did not dare to reach out to help him up. "Poison, you've been poisoned too."
Shangguan Hou's lips were already bleeding. His hand trembled as he took out a bottle from his pocket. Then, he poured out a black medicinal pill. After consuming it, his breathing became slightly better.
However, the excruciating pain in his internal organs was still present.
Shangguan Hou wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and slowly pulled out the silver needle from his back.
Looking at the silver needle, his fingers tightened and his eyes darkened.
He was clearly only one step away!
At this moment, another explosion was heard. This time, it was even louder than before.
The security team leader's expression changed when he heard it. "Someone is blowing up the base."
