Peter stood beside the truck and watched as his colleagues got into the truck one by one. In the end, he looked at Mia and said, "Get in, Mia!"
Mia's eyes were bright and shiny.
This was the first time that the girl, who had always been well-behaved since she was little, was involved in something this exciting. It was an extremely novel experience for her.
However, she couldn't help but be worried about Pete's safety. She wanted to say something, yet she didn't dare to, so she merely nodded and grabbed the cargo bed of the truck. Just as she was about to prop herself up, a big and warm arm suddenly held her around the waist and held her up. With that, Mia got into the truck immediately.
Mia:"!!"
Her cheeks immediately turned as red as a tomato, and she felt as if her heart was pounding faster than usual.
She looked outside...
Just as she was about to speak, she noticed that the doors of the main entrance had opened, and security officers were rushing out of the building. They were about to surround them!
Some even raised their guns and pointed them at the truck's tires. Once the tires were punctured, they wouldn't be able to leave!
It was at this point that she saw Peter, who had been holding on to the cargo bed and planning to get in previously, suddenly jumping back down. He promptly shouted, "Go!"
Though Abbott didn't manage to catch a glimpse of Black Cat, he knew very well that his mission was to pick these people up today. The man immediately started the truck.
When someone fired at the truck, Abbott quickly changed its speed and direction to prevent the bullet from striking the tires.
Those guys didn't dare to go as far as to take lives—after all, they needed the researchers alive—so they didn't fire at anyone. Just as more and more bullets were fired and it seemed that they wouldn't be able to dodge them anymore, a commotion suddenly broke out in the distance where the security officers were!
Abbott immediately slammed his foot down on the gas pedal. The truck went charging out immediately and disappeared after rounding the corner.
When the captain of the security officers saw the truck disappear from his sight, he immediately knew that it was too late.
Despite that, he didn't panic.
Since he had decided to stay put, it went without saying that he had a plan.
Those guys might be able to escape the research center, but leaving for good? Not so easy!
He looked coldly at the trio who had stayed behind and said derisively, "Playing hero? Don't overestimate yourselves! Peter Hunt, you must be the one who stole my key, right?"
Peter nodded. "Yup."
