"Damn it!"
John carried Angelica, hacked the gate with Black Light, and rushed into the pedestrian passage, escaping downstairs.
The 68th floor Kuang Xin mentioned is the dining center.
It wasn't open tonight, and all the lights were off.
The self-service long tables and high-backed chairs were all overturned and covered with white cloth, and there were several employee corpses hacked to death by Samurai Swords lying in the corridor.
Bam!
John kicked open the restroom door.
Disinfectant and a faint acidic smell wafted past his nose.
He reached the window, trying to see outside through the gap, but his eyes were dazzled by a passing searchlight beam.
John took two steps back and shot the limiter.
The seal of the double-layered glass was broken.
The hovercar engines and distant sirens crept in through the gap.
A beam of bright light illuminated John's face.
Rolling red subtitles were engraved around the walls.
[Emergency Team: Work Area]
A V8 hovercar with a white logo approached the window.
Two crew members, strapped with safety ropes, leaped from the cabin, took out portable tools and removed the window structure, while inside, armed personnel aimed rifles at the opening to prevent any sudden attack.
John watched four or five people break into view.
Wearing emergency team uniforms and respiratory masks, they glanced at the room's condition and shouted sternly.
"There's only one slot for transportation, who's the client?"
"We are."
"NO, sir, just one person!"
"F*ck, your cabin is empty!"
"We're following protocol, only one client, confirm the order quickly!"
The staff's tone remained unchanged.
John felt helpless as the wind filled the restroom through the window, the hovercar lights stinging his eyes.
He had to speak loudly, sounding almost hysterical.
"Isn't my money enough? Just add a seat, as long as you can get us out of this damn building!"
"Sorry, sir, confirming one last time!"
The emergency team remained indifferent.
This was the evacuation route Kuang Xin and Oulos had arranged for him.
"OK, OK, damn it, take her, but make sure she's in one piece, or I'll blow up your hovercar!"
The emergency team immediately crossed the gap.
They packed Angelica, connected to various medical devices, and transported her onto the vehicle amid the wind from the high-rise.
The howling gradually faded.
The laser projection cast images over John and the glass curtain wall, vanishing amidst the vector engine's roar.
[Contact - Oulos Grenada [Voice Call]]
[What's wrong with your brain? Tell me, John, why the f*ck is Russell's daughter on that damned hovercar!?]
[Is your brain filled with a woman's X?]
[What damn fairy tale turned you into such a naive idiot!?]
Oulos was rarely furious.
John took a deep breath, raised his eyebrows, not defending himself.
"I've already done it."
[Huh, wow, fantastic.]
[John, listen, every choice comes with a price, and right now, I'm sick of stupidity, not interested in playing hero rescuing games with you.]
[What did Russell tell you, tell me.]
Oulos' last sentence was extremely calm.
She had her own objectives coming to Eden City.
John disrupted the rules, messed up the team plan, essentially being stupid to get killed, and now he had to hand over the intel Russell provided.
This was repaying a debt, the most rational decision.
John wouldn't let others bear the consequences of his choices, so he relayed the information about the Vacuum Tube and Basic Physique.
Oulos directly hung up after listening.
She didn't even say "Goodbye."
