Ngung~ Ngung~ Ngung~

In the middle of the night, alarms sounded throughout the laboratory building. The moment the alarm sounded, all scientists and security personnel were ready to evacuate in an orderly manner. In one of the laboratories with the highest security systems, a group of scientists in white coats looked tense.

One of them was a man in his fifties who looked like the leader of this group of scientists. He handed a metal briefcase to a young woman in her early twenties and said, "Little Duan, someone must have betrayed us. Take this liquid chip and leave immediately. I have asked Captain Yu to escort you out safely."

The young woman knew the seriousness of the matter and nodded to the leader, "Teacher, I will send this liquid chip to the capital city safely."

The old scientist patted her shoulder and said anxiously, "We don't have much time. Go now!"

Duan Yixin took one last look at her teammates and teacher before turning around and leaving in a hurry. 

Beep~

After entering the password, the door opened, and Duan Yixin saw Captain Yu already waiting for her there. Seeing that she was ready, he said, "Let's go. We only had three minutes before the missile hit the building. The military chopper is already waiting for us on the rooftop."

Duan Yixin's eyes trembled slightly when she heard the missiles coming, but she quickly calmed down. She held the metal briefcase tightly, nodded, and the two of them rushed to the rooftop. When they were about to reach the door to the rooftop, someone suddenly opened fire on them.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Watch out!" 

Captain Yu reacted quickly, hugged her, and squatted down. As soon as the two of them dodged the bullet, they heard a man's shout from downstairs.

"She is going to the rooftop!"

As soon as these words came out, countless footsteps rushed toward them. Looking down at the enemy through the gap in the stairs, Captain Yu made a quick decision and said, "Professor Duan, you go first. I will buy you some time."

"But–!"

"Go!"

Before she could speak, he pushed her away and started shooting at the oncoming enemy. Duan Yixin gritted her teeth and said, "Be careful, Captain Yu."

After leaving these words behind, she turned around and rushed towards the rooftop. Behind her, Captain Yu looked at her back and whispered, "Xin'er, you must survive."

Seeing the door closed behind her back, Captain Yu turned to face the enemy. Behind the closed door, Duan Yixin heard gunshots echoing continuously.

When she saw a military chopper parked not far from her, she noticed the pilot motioning for her to hurry up. As she took a few steps toward the military chopper, something hit and destroyed it.

Boom! Crumble!

The military chopper exploded, and the explosion threw her away. Seconds later, she gasped and coughed violently.

"Cough, cough!"

Duan Yixin felt pain all over her body and a buzzing in her ears, which made her dizzy and unable to see things clearly. When she raised her eyes, she found that the door to the rooftop had been kicked open by a pursuer. Half of her body was buried under the rubble, and she could no longer move.

Seeing those people running towards her, she knew she had no way out. Since the liquid chip is what they want, she would rather destroy everything than let those terrorists use it to control the world and kill more innocent people. Ever since she decided to join the research on this liquid crystal, she had been preparing to die in the line of duty.

After making a decision, Duan Yixin raised her arm and found that her left arm was broken. She gritted her teeth and endured the pain, reaching out to grab the metal briefcase. Blood flowed from her ruptured abdomen as she opened the metal briefcase as quickly as possible.

She removed the syringe containing the liquid chip and, without hesitation, injected it into her blood vessels. The moment the liquid chip entered her blood vessels, she felt like her body burned by fire from the inside out.

Although she could no longer bear the pain, she still injected the remaining black-colored liquid chip into her blood vessels. When she finished injecting the liquid chip, she fell to the ground as she panted heavily and looked at the men rushing toward her.

With a smile on her lips, she thought: 'This way, they won't be able to extract the liquid chip from my blood. Everyone, I'm sorry that I didn't fulfill my promise to deliver this liquid chip to the government. Captain Yu…'

Boom!

As she took her last breaths, missiles hit the laboratory building and destroyed everything. That day, with the death of the only group of scientists capable of creating liquid chips, humanity lost its only hope of saving the world from destruction.

"Run! Everyone, run quickly! The bandits are coming!" An old man shouted while banging the gong in his hand as he ran for his life.

Before the villagers could react, the bandits had already arrived. The leader raised his sword and shouted excitedly, "Ha ha ha! Want to run?! Then ask my sword first! Kill the men, catch the women and children!"

Hearing the leader's words, the bandits were excited and shouted in unison, "Yes, Boss!"

Listening to the bandits' laughter and howls, the villagers came to their senses and began to run as hard as they could. Seeing the villagers running away like headless flies, the bandit leader slashed his sword at the nearest person.

"Argh!

Thud!

The man fell to the ground, blood spurting from his neck. His eyes were wide open, full of unwillingness, as his head rolled and was crushed by the bandit leader's horse hoof.

"No!"

Before the dead man's wife could react, she saw the bandits taking away her daughter. She hurriedly chased after him but was slashed in the back by the other robbers.

"Ah!"
