Luke cursed inwardly. Four auxiliary wings popped out on his back, and bright white flames spewed out of the nozzles.
With a whoosh, the Big Dipper Armor's speed skyrocketed as it charged forward.
Then, a series of clanging sounds and the sound of metal armor rubbing against the cement walls echoed in the tunnel. Even the raging water behind him couldn't drown them out.
With this series of sounds, the Big Dipper Armor used all its moves.
This was the godly cornering skill from the short videos in his previous life — hand brake and foot brake.
At the last big turn, in order to avoid further deceleration, Luke braced himself and used the ultimate skill, Prostate Bend. With the Big Dipper Armor in a split position, he quickly made a turn on the iron pipe in the tunnel and drifted past it.
Sparks and lightning flashed as he dashed forward regardless of his pants.
He wouldn't die. He wouldn't be killed by such a small accident in his life, but he didn't know when he would be able to escape after being trapped under the base.
But his time was very valuable, and he naturally didn't want to waste it.
Thankfully, his reaction was just in time, and the speed at which the base was destroyed was just a little slower than his escape speed.
In seven or eight seconds, the Big Dipper Armor reached the end of the escape tunnel, where an alloy door stood.
"Open!" Luke roared and raised his fists. Assuming a classic Superman flying posture, he crashed into the door.
Duang~~~
Even with Luke's strong body, he couldn't take it.
The alloy door was actually made of multiple layers of material. The Big Dipper Armor wasn't the strongest armor, but it actually couldn't break through the final obstacle in an instant, and was stuck in the door.
Looking at the surging lake behind him and the tunnel that was quickly twisting and collapsing, he still heard tonight's exclusive crematorium background music.

With a pained expression, Luke complained, "Motherf * cker …"
Gulp, gulp ~
Rumble, rumble ~
The Big Dipper Armor was buried in the collapsing base.
Ten minutes later, a transparent shadow broke through the surface of the lake.
Luke looked at the information on the virtual screen gloomily. The North Star had already reported, "The medium drones didn't find anything. There are no signs that anyone has escaped from the base."
After a moment of silence, he sighed softly. "I'm sorry. I tried my best."
This apology was meant for the innocent superhumans in the base.
Even though there weren't many superhumans in the base, and even though they might not have lived for long if the base hadn't self-destructed, they were still dead.
Although Luke would lose the opportunity to obtain more abilities, he didn't want to think that way.
There would always be opportunities to collect abilities, but Luke felt that it was better to maintain basic respect for innocent lives.
He could still hear Stephanie's cold voice in his ears.

He lowered his head slightly and observed a moment of silence to pay tribute to these innocent people.
The Big Dipper Armor flew southwest with a low-power cruise. Half an hour later, it reached the beach near Anvil Island.
Sticking close to the surface of the sea, Luke slowly flew away from it, and the "trash" that he had processed in his inventory was thrown out one after another and sunk into the sea.
He had collected a lot of these things recently, and hadn't had the time to throw them away yet.
He had completed the mission in passing.
After cleaning up the trash, he flew straight to Vancouver, which wasn't far to the south.
Changing into a new Canadian identity, he walked into Vancouver International Airport and bought a flight back to New York at six in the morning. Then, he found a quiet corner in the Delta VIP lounge and sat down.
He then put on his sunglasses and reviewed the cleanup operation on the virtual screen.
When he went there, he naturally used a throwaway avatar. After he left Vancouver, that avatar was abandoned forever.
It was the same when he came back, and naturally wouldn't appear again when he arrived in New York.
It didn't matter if the Big Dipper Armor for this operation was exposed.
This identity, which wasn't afraid to use any abilities, was destined to be involved in all kinds of superpower incidents, and would also kill countless criminals with superpowers, or those who wanted to use superpowers to commit crimes.
To put it bluntly, Big Dipper was definitely the biggest scapegoat among his many identities.
If this alias caused too much trouble, then … he would change to another set of armor and a new alias.
In any case, he was too familiar with this.
With this premise in mind, the review of the operation was soon over. Next, it was time to take stock of his gains.
First of all, he had rescued Alice Miller and Carrie Miller, which Luke wasn't particularly surprised about.
According to the intelligence he had gathered, it was indeed possible that the mother and daughter were in the hands of the Secret Service. Although the chances were slightly lower than 20%, it was already very high.
That was also the reason why he had chosen to clean up the Secret Service.
Second was the guard cleanup mission, which the system had immediately concluded. 147 people had contributed a total of 47000 experience and credit points, and each person had contributed more than 300 points.
When he emerged from the bottom of the lake, the system gave him the rest of the mission.
System: Eliminate some guards of the Secret Service and destroy the secret research base. Completed.
Total experience: 50000. Total credit: 50000.
Contribution rate: 100%. EXP + 50000. Credit + 50000.
Host's experience: 193500/500000.
Credit: 489500
Luke had a strange expression on his face at the notification. So, the base's self-destruction was my doing?
Based on his past experience, the system would only judge his contribution based on the direct results of a mission.
It was just like when he had issued an earthquake warning through Professor Lawrence Hayes, and hadn't received any experience and credit points for it.
Even if the old system didn't acknowledge the TV show, there were still dozens of staff in the livestream room when Professor Lawrence announced the news.
The system didn't give any experience and credit points for the people who had avoided earthquake damage.
Thus, if the self-destruct switch at the dam base was compared to a light switch, the system wouldn't give credit to Luke even if he had someone else press the switch.
If he had asked Selina to go out and beat up hooligans, the system would only give the experience and credit to Selina, and not directly to him.
On the other hand, if the system determined that the destruction of the secret base was his "credit," it would prove that he had personally "pressed the switch."
Thinking that, he felt a little awkward. Had he really set himself up this time?
Puzzled, he listed all kinds of data on his lenses and made a few simple filters. In the end, he found two suspicious points.
The base's self-destruct device had been activated by an unknown signal source exactly five minutes after he had put Alice Miller into Space 2.
It had also been five minutes since the self-destruct device had been activated.
Not a second more, not a second less.
