The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot novel Chapter 1171

Chapter 1171: Chapter 30: Fury—Norton Protects His Wife [Bonus]

The chilling mechanical voice echoed in everyone’s ears, as death slowly approached.

No one expected such an oversight to occur just as they were about to succeed.

They had just left the core area, still three hundred meters from the main entrance.

One minute was not enough for them to escape.

Most importantly, the detection chamber had its own protective and self-destruct systems.

To prevent the unknown elements from leaking throughout the entire base, the detection chamber would initiate an automatic destruction sequence.

If they didn’t get out, they would also be targeted for destruction by the system.

"Turn, turn it off!" A researcher frantically cut the power, "Professor Sinai, I’ve cut all the power here."

The mechanical voice repeated the same phrase, no change at all.

"Alarm! Alarm! Unknown element leak!"

At this, everyone panicked.

Even though they had prepared to sacrifice themselves for science before entering the research base, none of them anticipated this outcome.

However, Sinai had already calmed down: "Everyone, don’t panic, there’s a way."

She took off her shoes and handed them to another female researcher to put on.

She then took a few small robots out of her pocket and handed them to a few elderly colleagues.

These small robots usually did housekeeping but could transform into simple flying devices in crucial moments.

Within a few seconds, white mist had filled the detection chamber.

This mist mixed with the leaking unknown elements.

The protective suits couldn’t fully stop the invasion of unknown elements; the face of a 68-year-old researcher had already turned bluish-black.

The other researchers also felt weak in their limbs, some even burst into tears.

"Listen carefully to me," Sinai coughed, her voice trembling, "Hold your breath, don’t look back, ten seconds is enough for you to get out."

She pressed a button on her wristband as she spoke.

The little robots, transformed into flying devices, received the command and quickly carried the researchers out.

Sinai took out one more robot from her pocket.

She paused, her gaze falling on the young man beside her.

He was the youngest researcher in the team, having just turned eighteen this year.

Two people.

One last robot.

Sinai’s eyelashes lowered, her fingers tightened.

"Professor Sinai, I’m not afraid!" The young man clearly noticed the extraordinary nature of the robot in Sinai’s hand, he grabbed her hand and smiled, "You, you must get out, I’ll be fine, really."

"Go quickly," Sinai said in a low voice, "You’re still young, with a long life ahead, why hesitate? Think of your parents, they are still waiting for you to successfully develop a Cosmic Carrier."

She tried to lighten the mood: "I won’t have the chance to see it, but if you’re willing, send me some photos someday."

The young man couldn’t refuse at all.

Sinai unceremoniously transformed the last small robot into a simple flying device, attached it to the young man, pressed the button, and pushed him out.

"Professor Sinai!"

The shout faded into the increasingly dense white mist, disappearing entirely.

[Self-destruct sequence initiated]

[The gate is about to close]

Two red frames dominated the detection screen outside, incessantly emitting warning sounds.

The other group also panicked.

"Quick! Call the rescue team!" Charlotte shakily dialed a number, "There are still people inside! Eleven people!"

What level of element leak triggered the self-destruct sequence in the detection chamber?

Eleven lives, who could bear such responsibility?

"They made it out!" Someone shouted in surprise and delight, "They made it out!"

Charlotte spun around and saw several rotating flying devices bringing the researchers outside.

The researchers were on the ground but definitely still alive.

Yet she couldn’t find Sinai among them.

Until the last figure emerged, it still wasn’t Sinai.

Eleven people went in, but only ten came out.

"Professor!" Charlotte was panic-stricken, "Where’s the professor?!"

She gritted her teeth, grabbed a spare protective suit, and prepared to dash inside.

But at that moment, a larger red frame popped up on the screen.

[Self-destruct sequence initiated]

"Boom!"

A loud noise, and the gate sealed shut completely, isolating the inside from the outside.

"..."

The researchers who made it out collapsed on the ground, drenched in cold sweat.

Although they had escaped, they had inhaled a considerable amount of unknown elements, leaving those with weaker constitutions already in comas.

Other researchers scrambled forward, initiating emergency rescue procedures.

Charlotte supported the last escaping young man.

"Pro, Professor Sinai is still inside!" The young man cried out in distress, falling apart, "What do we do! She got trapped inside to save me! It should’ve been me!"
