When Lin Xinghai felt the underground base begin to shake, his expression instantly turned grim.
He was terrified they would try to take everyone down with them, like by activating a self-destruct sequence in the laboratory.
He wouldn't be able to escape such a massive explosion, no matter how fast he was. All he could do was wait for death.
Fortunately, his worst fears didn't come to pass. The tremors did trigger something, but it wasn't an explosion. Instead, secret passages leading to the outside world opened up.
At least two such passages had appeared within his two-kilometer Perception range.
Clearly, the so-called secret passage they had used to sneak in was just a decoy. The real ones were all located here in the laboratory.
And there seemed to be many of them. Without a thorough sweep, it would be impossible to know where they all led, making an interception impossible.
