"Tut tut tut tut …"
The assault rifle responded to Dan's order with a barrage of bullets.
Feng Bujue pulled the trigger and rolled toward Dr. Jonathan.
"Idiot, who's going to surrender?!" Brother Jue not only resisted fiercely with his actions but also with his words. "If you have the time to shout, why don't you just open fire!"
Before he finished speaking, he had already rushed to Dr. Jonathan's side. With one hand, he held the latter in front of him.
"Bastard! Let go of the doctor! "Dan and the security team raised their guns and aimed, but they couldn't shoot at the risk of killing the hostage.
After all, Dr. Jonathan was a Level Four researcher. He was also an important asset of the foundation. Before they received a clear order from their superiors, these security personnel had no right to shoot him.
"That's another nonsense, Dan." Feng Bujue had already recognized Dan's voice. He sneered wantonly. "If I would do as you say, why would I take a f * cking hostage?"
After that, Brother Jue turned to look at Dr. Jonathan and whispered, "Doctor, for the safety of your colleagues and yourself, please cooperate with me as much as possible. Do you understand?"
At this time, Dr. Jonathan was holding Billy with one hand, and his other shoulder was held tightly by Brother Jue. He couldn't break free. He knew little about the D-class personnel behind him, but from what he had seen and heard during this period of time … there was no doubt that this was an outlaw who killed without batting an eyelid.
"O … Okay …" Dr. Jonathan replied with trepidation. "Please don't …"
"… Don't ask me for anything." Feng Bujue interrupted him. "I say, you do."
He gave clear instructions in an unquestionable tone. His attitude revealed his incomparable confidence and calmness. At this moment, including Dan … Subconsciously, everyone present had recognized the fact that Brother Jue was the one in control of the situation.
Therefore, after a brief confrontation, the security team watched as Feng Bujue used the "human shield" to retreat all the way back to the emergency safe passage.
Two conditions had to be met when entering and exiting the passageway for Level 5 and O5 personnel. Firstly, you had to know the location of the secret door. Secondly, you had to have a pass of the corresponding level.
As Feng Bujue was holding the only Grade Five access card in the base (usually, there would be other Grade Fives or O5 personnel moving around, but today, Kozmo was the only Grade Five personnel left in the base), the moment he retreated into the passageway, the security personnel once again fell into a passive position.
"Sir, this is Lab B3. Austin escaped into the tunnel again." Dan could only report helplessly as he watched the tunnel close.
"Damn it …" Steven, who was in B7, cursed angrily. "We're still a step too late …"
As the temporary commander of the base, his response was already pretty good. After receiving Gore's report, Steven immediately guessed Brother Jue's escape method. Although he did not want to believe that his respected Officer Kozmo would reveal information about the emergency safe passage (information that even Steven did not know about), he calmly analyzed the various possibilities and made the correct judgment.
Based on this deduction, Steven immediately thought … Austin had mentioned Dr. Jonathan and Billy the Marionette earlier, and he seemed to know the location of the two very well … Two more pieces of information could be obtained from this. First, this supported the fact that "Officer Kozmo had already confessed"; second, Austin's main goal did not seem to be to escape, but the Marionette and the Doctor. Of course, they could not rule out the possibility that this was just a smoke bomb released by Austin before he escaped, to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
Thinking of this, Steven immediately ordered the team closest to Lab B3 to rush over … Even if this was really a diversion, they had to be on guard.
But unexpectedly, Brother Jue still succeeded in the end.
…
Three minutes later, in the emergency safe passage.
"Listen to me … Mr. Austin." Jonathan walked in front of the gun, holding the Marionette. "If you want to escape with this Marionette, I won't stop you. I'm just a researcher, I don't intend to …"
"Okay, okay …" Feng Bujue did not want to listen to this. He interrupted in an impatient tone. "Don't waste your breath, Doctor. I'll decide when I'll let you go. I'm still holding you hostage, which means that you're still useful, so … please keep your mouth shut. Speak when I need you to, so that you don't make me angry, understand? "
The more he listened to him, the more he sounded like a professional criminal. Jonathan didn't want to deal with such a person. He had neither the courage nor the ability. Therefore, he decided … "Okay, I understand …"
As they spoke, they came to a secret exit.
Feng Bujue looked at the sign next to the door and used the access card to open the door.
"Please walk in front, Doctor." Brother Jue stood next to the open door, turned around, and pointed the gun at Jonathan.
Jonathan swallowed his saliva and walked through the secret door with uneasy steps.
Brother Jue followed closely behind and walked out of the passage.
"Please open the safe, Doctor." As soon as they entered the room, Feng Bujue ordered.
At this moment, they were in the room where Brother Jue and Billy came earlier. It was the room where SCP-1998 was stored.
Doctor Jonathan naturally recognized this room because he was the key keeper of the project in this room.
"You …" The doctor wanted to ask Brother Jue what he was going to do with this thing, but he thought for a moment and immediately swallowed the question.
Jonathan was a highly educated person with a high IQ. Even if his EQ was low, he should be able to guess Brother Jue's intention. Obviously, the act of kidnapping him to open the safe itself indicated at least three things. One, he knew the purpose of this project. Two, he also knew who had the key to this project. Three, he knew what he was going to do with this project.
"Doctor." Just as Jonathan stood in front of the safe and was about to take out the key, Feng Bujue suddenly said in a cold tone, "If I were you, I wouldn't do that."
This sentence seemed to come out of nowhere, but it made Jonathan instantly freeze in place. The blood in his body seemed to have frozen, and a chill went straight to his heart.
Only Jonathan himself knew … Two seconds ago, when his hand touched the key, an idea flashed through his mind.
However, while he was still hesitating whether or not to take action, Feng Bujue's words had already entered his ears.
