Chapter 511: Chapter 286: The Hope of Escape
After hearing what Wang Ji had said, Rodrick and the other two men felt relieved and prepared to move forward.
However, at that moment, Wang Ji looked down at the three men below and spoke indifferently,
“The Elite Worker Repair Department at the Cold Land Test Field is appointed directly by senior engineers from Loki Heavy Industry, and the hiring of each staff member must be approved by the chairman, which is myself. But up to now, I don’t recall ever signing such a document.”
Rodrick and the other two men froze in place. The middle-aged man looked up and smiled, “Mr. Wang, I have never heard of such a practice before.”
Wang Ji stopped tapping his fingers, slowly moved away from the handrail of the second-floor deck, and said, “Of course, no one here could know about it, as I arranged it in secret… Rodrick, can you tell me exactly what happened at the Cold Land Test Field?”
The old man, whose hair was spotted with gray but whose spirit was still sharp, stared intently at Rodrick.
Rodrick’s words got stuck in his throat. Wang Ji had openly revealed that the Elite Worker Repair Department operated independently from the usual procedures at the Cold Land Test Field, and it was normal to choose a senior engineer to follow this practice. However, now it became a direct clue that aroused Wang Ji’s suspicion.
“Chief Mechanical Master Rodrick, why aren’t you speaking now? Or do you have some unspeakable secrets?”
These piercing words left the middle-aged man unable to utter anything.
He received a high salary from Loki Heavy Industry and held 0.5% of the company’s shares, gaining both status and wealth.
All of this was brought to him by the old man in front of him. Even though Wang Ji had no strength of a Martial Artist, his long-accumulated power could not be ignored and always psychologically pressured him.
Now facing Wang Ji’s questioning, Rodrick truly found himself at a loss for words.
“What are you still hesitating for!”
Seeing that Wang Ji’s figure was about to disappear above, the bearded man beside him roared and took a big step directly toward the handrail of the stairs, then twisted his body midair, intending to vault onto the second-floor deck.
Finally, this disguised member of the repair department broke the calm here.
“Master, quick, retreat!” Originally bowing respectfully at his side, Wang Song abruptly raised his head, pushed Wang Ji with force, and behind them was a flat surface with an emergency escape slide.
With a skilled push by Wang Song, Wang Ji was swiftly and safely placed onto the escape slide.
When they saw their chairman trigger the escape slide, Wang Song turned midair with a heavy kick, clashing fiercely against the right fist of the bearded man.
He managed to fend off the bearded man who originally intended to jump up.
“Rodrick! Think carefully! If this fails, no one will survive!” The bearded man’s eyes were bloodshot.
His roar was a reminder to the middle-aged man that both his beautiful wife and lovely son were in their hands.
Wang Ji was actually trying to escape!
Moreover, the strength of this butler was incredibly surprising, astonishing the man who had a physical fitness standard of level 17.
The old man’s power level was at least 18, but he doubted that his endurance level was as high! The one with the real strength on the scene was Rodrick, who had always been considerate of Loki Heavy Industry’s bonds.
Being shouted at by the bearded man finally completely woke him up.
Right, his wife and child were in their hands. Since faces had already been torn, if he hesitated any longer, he would undoubtedly be the most regretful.
No, he had to stop Wang Ji!
Rodrick, Loki Heavy Industry’s strongest Chief Mechanical Master, suddenly had his eyes turn blood red.
“Ah! Don’t blame me, I had no choice.”
A ghastly scream, hardly human, emerged from his throat. Rodrick stomped heavily, bridging five steps into two, and charged forward vigorously.
At that moment, the emergency escape slide had already launched and was picking up speed rapidly.
A distance of less than thirty meters was about to disappear from their sight in two seconds.
Seeing Rodrick in this state, Wang Song let out an angry roar, “Rodrick, have you forgotten the kindness of Loki Heavy Industry! You are committing murder!”
“I’m sorry.”
With a heavy punch, Rodrick forced Wang Song to stagger back two steps, and with his overpowering strength of level 19, he finally managed to repel the aging butler, now in his physically declining years.
“You’re all dead! Seal the ship!” Wang Ji’s figure had already moved halfway, and his voice was incredibly cold, carrying a unique authority of someone superior.
“Heh, old man, you’re really overthinking it.”
The bearded man, who had just scrambled up, pulled out a prototype button in front of Wang Ji and Wang Song.
When he gently pressed it…
Boom!
Corridors, passageways, and sealed storage rooms instantly turned into seas of flames.
The transport ship’s automatic fire suppression system was instantly triggered, but the alarm failed to sound as it should.
Because during the fierce explosion, an invisible electromagnetic wave had covered the entire ship from bottom to top.
The bearded man laughed wildly, “Did you think we didn’t consider this? Hahahaha, with more than ten minutes of interference, this spaceship is just scrap metal.”
“I’m going to kill you!”
Wang Song, like an angry lion, charged furiously at the bearded man.
Thud!
A kick landed accurately in front of him. Even though Wang Song blocked it with his arm, his body inevitably changed direction.
When he landed, his body forcibly twisted, stopping on the path from which Wang Ji had just retreated.
“Damn it, keep an eye on this old cargo, I need to stop that old man!”
After cursing, the bearded man unexpectedly drew out from his bosom a huge handgun gleaming with a dark luster.
“You can’t kill him!” Rodrick, who had just restrained Wang Song, shouted in shock.
He had warned this man many times that he absolutely must not kill Wang Ji!
“Stop worrying, it’s a trap gun!”
Bang!
With a gunshot, a blue electric light exploded, and a spreading halo of light appeared at the muzzle.
At that moment, a figure rapidly shot in front of him.
With a buzz, that spreading halo of light expanded into an electric net which swiftly enveloped the figure, then it crashed heavily to the ground.
It turned out that Wang Song, taking advantage of the moment Rodrick was momentarily shocked, violently broke free, even tearing the shirt on his shoulder.
With a sense of frantic resolution, Wang Song, the old man who had silently been guarding Wang Ji from the beginning, finally unleashed the strength he had long concealed.
The moment the bearded man pulled the trigger, he flew right in front of the muzzle.
The high-voltage electric net immediately clung to him, and a burst of electric sparks flashed by, his muscles uncontrollably trembled, his strength waned, and the old butler fell heavily to the ground.
At that moment, Wang Ji, half kneeling on the escape slide, saw this scene, his eyes filled with rage: “Wang Song!”
But he couldn’t come down, because once he did, the enemy’s goal would truly be achieved.
The only chance of escape now… Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World.Site Only
was that these people didn’t know that the highest control authority from the Meteorite Base’s own ship was right in Wang Ji’s hands, and the person most familiar with this transport ship was also Wang Ji himself.
The real means of escape, only Wang Ji knew!
“Damn it! Wang Ji must not escape!”
Throwing the dark handgun heavily onto Wang Song lying on the ground, the left hand suddenly pulled out a delicate golden handgun, much smaller than the electromagnetic trap gun just used.
But as this handgun was drawn out, an inexplicable palpitation emerged simultaneously in the other three people present.
