The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 2269

The research laboratories on the shore also had self-destruction systems.

It was a fail-safe in case others wanted to steal their research to do dangerous things. Thus, destroying the laboratory was better.

However, they also had rules for that. If it was not a war, then this system should never be activated.

Connor did not expect that Sebastian would also steal this system from them.

Sebastian’s undersea laboratory was basically a replica of the laboratory on shore.

However, this self-destruction device was not placed somewhere that Connor was familiar with.

Connor immediately realized that Sebastian was planning to destroy all the evidence.

If that were the case, no one would be able to find this place and see the gory truth.

Everyone instantly became alert.

Connor was a step too late. When he entered the room, he saw Sebastian standing there with a pale but distorted face. Sebastian had a reckless, cruel, and resentful smile on his face.

“Don’t think that you guys can leave today! You all can stay here and die with me!”

Sebastian also saw Abel lying on the ground.

The wound on Abel’s chest was particularly shocking.

At that moment, Sebastian realized that once the system was activated, he could not escape himself.

However, it was better to die here than to be taken by Connor and the others to be tried and insulted.

How would those idiots understand his contribution to humankind?

Sebastian stared at them with a frenzied look on his face.

“You’re too restrained with these experiments, so you won’t be able to achieve true success even after two hundred years! I made it, but you guys came to bring me down. Just wait! I won’t let you go either!”

After that, a ticking sound came from out of nowhere.

It sounded like a countdown timer.

Sebastian’s eyes became redder.

Connor’s expression changed dramatically. Once the system was activated, it could not be turned off.

He did not care about Sebastian and immediately shouted at the people outside.

“Go back to the ship and tell them to prepare to leave! There’s only one minute left before this place explodes! Run!”

Connor shouted, and everyone was shocked.

Leighton’s eyes trembled fiercely, and immediately summoned the people who were still searching.

“Get out! Everyone, retreat now!”

The situation suddenly became chaotic.

Luca instantly grabbed Nicole’s hand. “Miss, let’s go...”

Nicole also started to panic.

She looked back immediately, and her eyes turned red.

However, Nicole and Jeff were separated by the crowd.

There were already more than ten meters between them.

Countless people between them ran out.

Jeff’s wheelchair was a hindrance for them.

The passers-by felt that the wheelchair was in the way, so they pushed it aside fiercely.

Thus, no matter how he tried to maneuver the wheelchair, it was impossible to squeeze his way out of the running crowd.

There was a bit of helplessness and despair in his eyes.

Maybe this was his fate – to die before her eyes.

It was already a blessing for him to be able to see her again.

The moment their eyes met, he saw that Nicole was anxiously rushing against the crowd to get to him.

Jeff’s expression changed drastically.

“Run! Don’t look back...”

He yelled at the top of his lungs and almost exhausted all his strength.

Horror instantly surfaced in his eyes.

He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of her death.

Nicole did not leave him.

She looked anxious and terrified, and Luca could not stop the crowd behind her.

Dozens of people rushed toward them like a tide.

Nicole ran up to Jeff and grabbed his wheelchair.

At that moment, Jeff choked up and did not know what to say.

“Nicole…”

He called out to her in a deep voice.

Nicole pushed his wheelchair and ran forward with Luca helping her.

“Don’t be afraid! I’m here to take you out...”

Nicole was still comforting him, but her voice was trembling.
