Chapter 6, Escape
Tang Feng did not respond, but instead surveyed the surroundings, appearing somewhat preoccupied.
Bang! The gunshot rang out. Tang Feng stared blankly at his pistol, which was still smoking, unable to believe that he had just killed his own child with his own hands
Tang Feng smiled, his expression quite peculiar
"Very well, very well." Gael immediately jumped up, seemingly eager to leave, "I will go with you; I know the murderer, and I want to expose the entire incident"
Tang Feng looked at the door and shook his head slightly. "That major, Jack, is not trustworthy."
"Do not be agitated, do not harm the doctor's degree." Jack took a step back, and the soldier also turned around, momentarily unable to react.
How do you know
"Gail, with your doctorate, please follow us out of here. We have some matters to discuss with you, the sooner the better," Jack said, turning away from Tang Feng to address Gail.
You? This is impossible...
What about Gale's doctor's degree
"Where is Dr. Ed's doctorate? Have you found him?" Gail coughed lightly, shifting the topic.
It was already around noon, yet neither of the two felt hungry. Tang Feng drove through several blocks, ensuring that no one was following them, and finally stopped the car in an abandoned warehouse area.
What are we doing here
Diary of the Seventh Observation Station on Earth
Gail's first reaction was to pounce on Tang Feng, gritting his teeth.
"There will be rewards," the father's tone suddenly turned icy, as if he sensed something. "Now, return home and await further instructions."
Tang Feng nodded slightly, and after a while, looked at Gael with an unusually serious expression, and slowly said: "Gael, with your doctor's degree, please answer me a question. I ask you to respond truthfully. Is everything you just said true?"
"Doctor Gale's degree is truly wonderful; we haven't arrived too late," he said, saluting. "I am Colonel Jack from the Security Forces of Area C, and we are in contact via telephone"
"In ten minutes, we will leave," Jack said, appearing quite reluctant as he stepped back. The two soldiers stationed at the door also closed it, standing guard outside, leaving only Tang Feng and Gail in the office.
"Everyone, step aside, do you hear me!" he shouted loudly
"Something has happened, something quite unusual," Tang Feng said, then changed the subject, "How is the child in your womb?"
"What sacrifice?" Meilani widened her beautiful eyes, "For this child, I can do anything..."
"Go open the door, doctor’s degree." Tang Feng said, pressing the gun against Gail's body, "As long as I move my finger, everyone is finished, understand"
What should we do?" After a while, Gail asked softly
"Do you still remember this briefcase and the book?" Tang Feng pointed to the briefcase he had left on the sofa, "It was Ed that I killed. The bullet passed through between the third and fourth ribs on the left side of his chest. Ed hardly felt any pain before he breathed his last..."
Gail finally nodded, turned around, and walked out, his steps somewhat unsteady. They exited the core laboratory, and the door closed silently behind them. Gail looked at Tang Feng, and outside, the bell rang for the third time.
Tang Feng muttered a curse under his breath, finally understanding why Gael was trying to buy time
"Is it done, Colonel Tang Feng?" An emotionless voice came from the other end
Jack issued a command, and the subservient and his subordinates all entered Gail's office. Tang Feng pressed a button, locking Jack and the others inside the office, and then secured the door from the outside.
Gail was taken aback, "Why?"
Yes, it is soundproof here. Gail did not understand what he meant
Do not waste words, Tang Feng, where is the doctor's degree now
The child noticed his confusion and smiled again. "You didn't complete the task, did you, Tang Feng? You deceived me, but you can only temporarily blind me."
"Do you know this? This is a micro high-explosive bomb, capable of blowing you, me, and this laboratory to the sky. I do not wish to do this, so do not force my hand," Tang Feng threatened, "Do not act rashly, do you understand?"
What is going on? Meilani was stunned, her face pale, her body swaying unsteadily. Tang Feng hurried over and supported Meilani.
"Shut up!" Tang Feng shouted, turning Gale's body around and pulling out a small, shiny metal bucket from his pocket, raising it up.
Tang Feng drove away from the abandoned warehouse district and returned to the main street. He found a telephone booth and dialed the number written on a note. After a moment, the call was connected.
Gail looked at the object in Tang Feng's hand with confusion, remaining silent, while beads of sweat appeared on his face
"Do not play with Daddy's gun," Meilani exclaimed, attempting to snatch the gun away.
I am very sorry, doctor’s degree, Tang Feng's voice remains so indifferent, "I am merely a tool, a tool for killing. If what you say is true, then this mistake is extremely serious, and I hope to make amends"
"He just told a lie," Tang Feng said, coldly staring at Gael. "Aide is already dead"
I do not know either..." He stared blankly at his son lying on the ground, his head shattered, blood and brain matter oozing out. Inside his head, there were some metallic objects, glimmering, and some broken metal fragments scattered on the ground, mixed with the blood.
"Gail, are you in there? Gail, are you there?" A deep, resonant voice came through the microphone. Gail recognized this voice; it belonged to Colonel Jack from the local security forces of Cm.hetushu.com.
Alright, let us decide on it this way, Tang Feng murmured to himself
Tang Feng approached Meilani and gently embraced her. This unusual tenderness from Tang Feng surprised Meilani
"I apologize, Doctor's degree, I hope I have not harmed your extraordinary intellect," said Tang Feng as he dragged Gael to a corner, found a rope, and securely bound him, stuffing something in his mouth. Once everything was in order, he placed the cooler box beside Gael, bent down, and examined Gael closely. Gael was unconscious, but his life was not in danger. Tang Feng nodded, stood up; he could not be certain of what Gael had said and needed to verify it.

Where is my son
Gail was even more astonished, her face flushed bright red, and then it quickly turned pale again
What should I do next, Father?" Tang Feng asked, "What about my reward?"
In my memory, the last contact was with an attack-type warship... That warship was pursuing a Morastin-class spacecraft, which contained a group of desperate fugitives
Gael silently watched, unable to speak
On the monitor, that officer pressed the doorbell again and knocked on the door
"Do as I say, otherwise his head will explode," Tang Feng said, pushing the doctor's degree out of the office
Observing at the observation station is a very tedious task
"Get to the side, Melani, or I will shoot." His voice was somewhat different from usual
Father? Impossible!
However, I did not expect you to send another person; he nearly disrupted my plans said Tang Feng with a complaint
I did not send anyone else" After a while, my father said
"Stop talking nonsense!" Tang Feng said loudly, "I am in control of the situation now, hurry, do as I say!"
"This is ... ..." Jack looked at Tang Feng, furrowing his brow, seemingly surprised that there were others here.
As Jack was growing impatient, the door opened. At the entrance stood Gale, holding a metal box that resembled a thermos. Behind him stood an uninvited guest, holding a handgun pressed against Gale's head.
Do not resist; you cannot escape through this door
Destroyed, very secure
Where is the virus
Gail let out a sigh of relief and said, "Thank heavens, Ed is still alive"
I truly hope you are mistaken
Tang Feng forced a smile. "Temporary task, have you eaten?" Meilani nodded.
"Yes," Gael said, "I think they have completely surrounded this place."
"What has happened, Tang Feng?" As his wife, Meilani understands Tang Feng very well
Gail looked at the object with some nervousness, "What does this mean?"
The two individuals spoke briefly and quickly left the experimental area. Tang Feng and Gael, holding their doctoral degrees, got into the vehicle and departed at the fastest speed, encountering no obstacles whatsoever
Be vigilant of the surroundings; no personnel are allowed to enter! The soldiers swiftly executed the orders, with several stationed by the door while others dispersed into the corridors and hallways, and it remains unknown how many soldiers are outside
This is my colleague
What does it mean
Gail glanced at Tang Feng, observing the hand that was awkwardly tucked into Tang Feng's pocket, and swallowed hard.
We found Gale, who has a doctor's degree, and he is doing well now At this moment, Gale strangely noticed that Tang Feng's face was turning pale and his body swayed slightly
"Gail, please open the door; otherwise, we will have to break it down!"
Gail wanted to say something. He glanced at Tang Feng's hand hidden in his pocket, his mouth moved slightly, and in the end, he nodded. "Yes... we still have some matters... we will handle them soon..."
Gail's expression was somewhat tense, and above his head, a small monitor was flashing red. Tang Feng also looked up; on the monitor, a man was standing outside Gail's office door, pressing the doorbell, appearing somewhat restless, with a badge on his shoulder gleaming.
Suddenly, a large group of fully armed soldiers surged into the office, weapons at the ready, making the space feel immediately cramped. Finally, a short but sturdy officer rushed in, his leather boots creaking loudly. He quickly spotted Gale, who was seated behind the desk, and visibly relaxed, waving his hand.
"Do not attempt to deceive me any longer!" The child suddenly shouted loudly, a sound that was completely uncharacteristic of his age. "When you were in the test tube, I knew you were a defective product, but I kept you because you could be useful. Now, the flaws of this defective product have indeed erupted. First, there was the attempt to conceal Melani's pregnancy, and then the legal challenge to the protected area, which I tolerated. And now, I have given you a chance to redeem yourself, yet you have sided with Gail, which is intolerable! Now, the flaws of this defective product have indeed erupted. First, there was the attempt to conceal Melani's pregnancy, and then the legal challenge to the protected area, which I tolerated. And now, I have given you a chance to redeem yourself, yet you have sided with Gail, which is intolerable! Speak quickly, where are the doctor's degree and his genes!" As he spoke, he pointed the gun at Melani's head, and Tang Feng was horrified to see that the safety had been disengaged.
The world will begin to change from today, Melani. Wait for me to do this. I was originally very hesitant, but thinking of our child, thinking of our future, for the sake of our child's future, I have made my decision
"All those who called for you, come here, Colonel."
"Yes, a doctor's degree, but at least I can save your life," Tang Feng said. "That guy outside may also be sent by your father; he has no reason to lie to you. I cannot guarantee that he will be interested in your story"
"Open the door!" Tang Feng said, his expression unusually calm. He tucked the handgun into his bosom, while holding the bomb in his other hand, placing it in his pocket. Gail understood his intention; as long as he moved, the bomb would detonate. Gail sighed, sat down behind the desk, and pressed a button, causing the office door to open.
What should we do now?" Meilani weakly collapsed into Tang Feng's arms, as if she were having a nightmare
Alani Ni
What do you want?" Gail asked, looking at Tang Feng with some unease
"Do you know who you are speaking to?" Tang Feng exclaimed
"Yes, I am," he said, "I am the father"
"With a doctoral degree, do you think you can ensure your safety just by going out like this?"
Colonel Jack, "Tang Feng, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, 'I have some matters to attend to with Gale, Doctor's degree. Please give us some time. Right, Gale, Doctor's degree?'"
The doorbell rang again
"I do not trust you," Gail glared at Tang Feng and said resentfully
You can judge for yourself, doctor’s degree. With that, Tang Feng placed the bomb on the desk in front of Gail. The metal canister rolled back and forth on the table
What is a doctor's degree
He is very well. Melani gently stroked her abdomen, her slender eyebrows furrowing, "I am very worried... if they find out... if they discover it, we won't be able to keep this child..."
"The security forces," Tang Feng said softly. He suddenly pressed the gun against Gael's back, gripping his arm. "Don't play tricks, did you call the security forces?"
This is just a car remote control, which I made myself. It is quite exquisite, isn't it
"Tian, where have you been? Why haven't you even made a phone call?" Meilani said, looking up and down at Tang Feng. "Did we not agree to take our son out for a picnic today?"
"You traitor! You killed Ed, my best friend!"
"It is complete, Father," Tang Feng said, knowing that he was connected to his father's central system.
He suddenly began to worry about Melani's safety, so he drove back home. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Melani's somewhat worried face.
He is taking a nap. When you return, I estimate he must be very disappointed right now
"You and I will go out, and I assure you of your safety," Gale said urgently
Tang Feng hung up the phone and fell into deep thought. It now seemed that Dr. Gale's words were more credible. For some reason, Tang Feng always felt that his father was somewhat unreliable; perhaps it was a matter of subconscious perception, or perhaps he was inherently distrustful of his father. Although Dr. Gale's explanation was somewhat incredible, it was more logical. Tang Feng knew that the decision he made would affect the fate of humanity. Regardless, he did not believe that Dr. Gale, being human, would do anything to harm humanity, but his father might. Perhaps, as Gale said, his father and the library had already deviated from their original path.
I must protect your safety, Doctor's degree, Jack said
No!
Life cannot be compensated for
"Doctor's degree, this conversation won't be overheard, will it?" Tang Feng suddenly asked
Tang Feng nodded slightly and murmured, "I really want to believe you, but I am also unwilling to believe..."
Gail forced a smile, her complexion not looking too good. Immediately, Jack's keen gaze fell on Tang Feng beside her, scanning him briefly. Tang Feng pretended to be at ease under that gaze, appearing indifferent, but the hand in his pocket tightened even more.
Tang Feng took a step back. "Calm down, doctor’s degree!" His hand emerged from his pocket, still gripping the bomb. Gail immediately halted, panting heavily.
"Of course I know," the child said with a cold smile. Tang Long suddenly felt a chill run through his entire body; that tone, that tone, was simply like.
"Did you see that, doctor's degree?" Tang Feng said with a cold smile, "I guessed correctly; they are so obedient, clearly hoping that I will take you away."
"Flee, there is no other option now, we must leave this place..." Tang Feng murmured
Jack was still scrutinizing Tang Feng, his doubts not yet dispelled. Suddenly, his experienced eyes fell upon the hand that Tang Feng had tucked into his pocket, and his lips tightened even further.
Very good, the father said, without joy, without excitement, as if everything were under control
At that moment, the door to the inner room opened. Tang Feng and Mei Lanni turned around simultaneously, only to see their son walk out, holding a gleaming handgun, which was none other than the Desert Eagle that Tang Feng had hidden in the study.
It is very safe here. The doctor's degree forced a smile. Jack glanced at Tang Feng again, and Tang Feng responded with a smile.
You cannot escape.
Melanie," Tang Feng held Melanie's hand, looking into her eyes, "Perhaps we can make it and save this child, but we will have to make some sacrifices...
It has already been eliminated
Gail let out a sigh of relief, seeing hope, and quickly said: "I guarantee with human dignity that everything I just said is absolutely true. I would say the same even in front of the security forces. Please do not kill me, nor destroy this laboratory, for the sake of humanity"
"Stop talking nonsense, get out of the car." Gael sighed, exited the vehicle, still holding the refrigerated box containing precious human genes. They arrived at an empty warehouse, which was dark and had a rather unpleasant odor. Gael walked ahead while Tang Feng followed closely behind him. Suddenly, Tang Feng struck Gael on the back of the head with the butt of his gun. Gael was caught off guard, collapsed, and lost consciousness.
Jack executed silently. Soon, the soldiers gathered around. Tang Feng tilted his neck and said, "Everyone go in, all of you."
It is lying, Tang Feng thought. The father did not respond immediately, indicating that he was contemplating, which was enough to clarify the matter
