Chapter 854: Escape
The Pano Hotel had been razed to the ground by a violent explosion, and blazing fire lit up the night sky in Agats.
In the hotel courtyard, the area where the explosion occurred, a hemispherical shield glowed slightly under the cover of flames and smoke.
The radius of the mask is about 7 meters (20 feet). The outside is earth-shaking, but the inside is calm. It has not been affected by the explosion and isolates the raging flames from the outside. The temperature is suitable.
Tangning looked at the explosion scene outside through the light barrier. The spell scroll in her hand had been reduced to ashes.
As soon as the phone rang, she unfolded the scroll, opened the "refuge cabin" with herself as the center, and enveloped Gao Fei, Jiang Feng, Ma Tao, Ma Yun, Qi Tian and Wang Daqing.
Just a few seconds later, a ton of CL-20 explosives was transmitted along the communication network and immediately detonated, blowing up the entire Pompano Hotel.
Such powerful destructive power cannot destroy the protective shield of the "refuge cabin".
Everyone hiding in the protective shield barely escaped the disaster.
Through the transparent shield, they saw the indescribably terrifying scene outside, as if they were experiencing an apocalyptic catastrophe, and the young special police officers were deeply shocked.
Gao Fei was the first to calm down, walked to Tang Ning, and whispered, "Sister Tang, what are your plans next?
Tangning calmed down and said thoughtfully, "The smoke and dust caused by the explosion obscured the enemy's surveillance field of view. We don't have much time left. We must make preparations now and leave here as soon as possible."
After that, she first used "Performance Casting" to grant "Fire Resistance Barrier" to all her teammates. Then she took out a lot of potions from the astrolabe and distributed them to Gao Fei and others, keeping two bottles for herself.
"There are two magic potions here, one is the disguise potion, needless to say, and the other is the 'avoid detection' potion. After taking it, it can resist detection magic and supernatural abilities, including the Apostle John's 'full body' The Eye of Seeing'.
"Sister Tang! You have the 'avoid detection' potion. Why didn't you take it out earlier so that everyone wouldn't have to worry about it all day long, lest they reveal their whereabouts and be blown away by bombs sent along the phone line!"
Qi Tian asked with an unhappy look on his face.
"Because what I want is not only to evade surveillance, but also to give the enemy the illusion that we have all been killed."
Tangning explained expressionlessly.
"If John and his boss Peter van der Waal could not see us and the explosion site from the beginning, how could they safely remove the surveillance."
"Your idea sounds reasonable, but why didn't you tell us earlier?" Ma Tao's face didn't look good either.
"Okay! This is not the place for arguments. Everyone, retreat quickly. It's not too late to listen to Sister Tang's explanation when you get to a safe area."
Gao Fei said in a deep voice.
Tangning glanced at him gratefully and waved away the "refuge cabin".
Thick smoke and flames hit our faces, choking everyone and coughing. They quickly covered their mouths and noses with wet towels prepared in advance.
The "Fire Resistance Barrier" that Tang Ning blessed for everyone can offset 30 points of fire damage each round. Even if you stand in the middle of the fire, it will not burn a single hair.
Gao Fei led his companions through the sea of fire and looked back at the place where they had just stood.
The clean and flat ground looked particularly eye-catching compared to the scorched earth that was surrounded by craters.
Gao Fei gestured to Ma Yun.
Classmate Xiao Ma understood the situation clearly, raised his revolver, loaded a "No. 6 bullet", and fired at the flat land that had just been protected by the "refuge hut".
Bang!
The bullet hit the ground, and the "Fireball Technique" injected in advance exploded violently, causing it to merge into the sea of fire, completely erasing the traces of everyone's refuge here.
Under the cover of the fire and smoke, Gao Fei and his party followed Tang Ning who was leading the way, quietly left the ruins of the hotel, blended into the refugee group on the street, and ran to the river to take refuge.
The docks were crowded with people, and the catamaran of the Vanderwaal Mercenaries was back.
A group of vicious mercenaries stood guard on the shore, holding guns to check all the refugees trying to leave Agatz by boat.
Gao Fei and his party had already changed their disguises and looked no different from the locals. They narrowly escaped being hunted by the mercenaries and took a canoe down the river.
Arriving at the nearby fishing village pier, Tang Ning led everyone off the boat, walked into the fishing village, and settled down in a shack.
"This is the safe house that brother Pep rented for us. We will rest here for the night. Pep will come to meet us tomorrow morning."
"Pep has a big boat, and we will sail along the Digur River to the Asmat region."
After listening to Tangning's arrangement, Gao Fei nodded first, and then raised the common question on behalf of his companions.
"Sister Tang, you arranged all of this in advance. Does this mean that you not only knew that we would be attacked by the Knights of the Holy Blood in Agatz, but also knew that they would send bombs frantically. In order to Get rid of us and let the captured mercenaries, apostles and angels be buried together? "
"Yes, Judas revealed to me the assassination plan of the Knights of the Holy Blood by dropping a bomb, so I decided to take advantage of the attack and use the explosion to escape." Tangning admitted frankly.
"Then why didn't you tell us earlier?" Ma Yun couldn't help but ask.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you, but at the same time as the attack, Apostle John also began to monitor our every move. I had to be extra careful to hide the plan under the surveillance of this pair of 'all-seeing eyes'. The more people know the plan, the easier it is to reveal the truth."
"In the final analysis, you just don't trust us!" Qi Tian's words were full of anger.
Tang Ning bit her lip, her eyes could not hide the guilt.
However, she did not give up her pride. After a brief silence, she responded expressionlessly.
"I believe that each of you is a good comrade who deserves my trust, but I don't believe that your acting skills are as good as mine. I can't guarantee that you can all deceive the 'all-seeing eye', so I choose to hide it from you. The less you know, the more real your reaction will be."
"Aren't you just using us and treating us as NPCs in the game?" Ma Tao's face darkened, and his words were also full of gunpowder. "Sister Tang, let's be honest, you are going too far and disrespecting your colleagues!"
"Everyone calm down and talk nicely." Wang Daqing, who has the best temper in the team, quickly changed the subject, "Xiao Tang, besides you, who else knows the true face of Judas and knows that this explosion will happen today?"
Tang Ning glanced at Gao Fei and said nothing.
"And me." Gao Fei raised his hand, "At least... in theory, I should know the plan made by Sister Tang and Judas."
