Li Ailun stared intently at the progress bar on the screen, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.
With the materials in hand, the task is finally half complete.
"Allen, there's no time..."
Susan looked at the countdown timer on the wall and said to him anxiously.
Seeing how attentive Li Ailun was to the Wildfire Project data, she immediately understood that this was the real reason he had insisted on coming to the CDC. Although she was even more curious about the secrets behind Li Ailun, now was clearly not the time to investigate them.
"It's alright, I'm confident!"
Li Ailun said without turning his head.
He had already quickly calculated in his mind that three minutes would be more than enough time for him to evacuate.
"..."
Others found it hard to understand why Li Ailun would take such a risk for potentially useless information at this time.
"Uncle, forget about the documents, just come with us!"
Amy was even more anxious. She ran over, grabbed Li Ailun's arm, and pulled him outside.
But Li Ailun seemed to be rooted to the spot, and no matter how she pulled, he wouldn't budge.
"There's no time for arguing, and it's pointless. You should all leave!"
Li Ailun pried Amy's hands off and said to her in an unquestionable tone, "Listen to me! If you stay here, you'll only hold me back!"
"But, uncle..."
Amy felt a little wronged and wanted to say something more.
On the other side, Glenn and the others at the entrance of the passage were already impatient. He anxiously shouted a reminder:
"We only have 7 minutes left, let's go..."
"You guys get out of here quickly! We need to figure out a way to get out!"
Li Ailun shouted to the crowd.
"..."
Seeing that Lee Allen was determined, Rick nodded to him and immediately called to the others, "Let's go, let's get out of here first..."
"hurry up......"
"Go..."
Without further hesitation, everyone grabbed their luggage and hurriedly ran outside.
"Amy, let's go first..."
Andrea ran over, gave Lee Allen a puzzled look, and then forcibly dragged the reluctant Amy away.
"You go too."
Seeing that Susan was still hesitating, Li Ailun spoke with the same unquestionable tone, but looking at her reserved and profound gaze, his tone softened unconsciously.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely get out of here."
"..."
"You must come out."
Susan knew that staying would be pointless, so she gave him one last deep look, then took his luggage and turned to leave with the others.
"..."
Li Ailun watched her departing figure disappear, and in the blink of an eye, he was the only one left in the hall. He then turned his head to continue staring at the progress bar on the big screen.

Meanwhile, led by Dr. Jenner, the group raced against time and finally arrived at the CDC lobby.
It was already broad daylight outside the CDC, and sunlight was streaming through the huge glass curtain wall, illuminating the entire hall.
"Open the door quickly!"
"Please..."
T pulled hard on the doorknob, but the glass door didn't budge.
"No, wait a minute..."
Glenn tried to open the door, but to no avail.
"This way..."
When the others couldn't open the door, they turned their attention to the glass curtain wall in the lobby.
"Give it a try..."
Sean pointed at the magnificent glass curtain wall and shouted.
Without hesitation, Moore and Daryl each grabbed a fire axe and rushed to the glass curtain wall, starting to chop away at the glass.
Clang... Clang... Clang...
After a powerful burst of energy, both of them were panting heavily, but the glass curtain wall remained intact.
"Daryl, watch out..."
At this moment, T-boy rushed up with a stool to take over.
Clang... Clang... Clang...
He smashed the glass curtain wall again, but only left some minor scratches on the glass.
"T-boy, come down here!"
"Get out of my way!"
At this moment, Sean finished loading his shotgun, walked to the glass curtain wall, raised the gun, aimed at the glass, and pulled the trigger...
boom......
After the gunshot, the bullet only left a mark on the glass.
"Oh God..."
"Isn't this glass unbreakable?"
Seeing this, everyone felt a sense of despair. The way out was outside, but they were trapped here and couldn't get out.
"This is all bulletproof glass; bullets can't break it..."
Dr. Jenner offered this reminder.
"Then can I break your head?"
Moore gets angry whenever he sees Dr. Jenner, and when his temper flares up, he wants to beat him up again.
"Alright, calm down..."
Rick stopped Moore from attacking again, pushed him back, and said, "The most important thing now is to find a way out of here!"
Rick, I have something here that might be useful!
At that moment, Carol came running over, carrying a backpack.
“Carol, nail files are useless.”
Sean said sarcastically.
He had absolutely no expectations of these women.
"When you first arrived at the camp..."
Carol ignored Sean's sarcasm. She pulled a military-grade grenade from her backpack and shakily handed it to Rick, explaining, "I found this in your pocket when I was washing your uniform..."
"..."
Rick immediately recognized it as the military grenade he had retrieved from the tank, never expecting it to come in handy here.
Without asking any further questions, he quickly took the military grenade and walked straight to the glass curtain wall.
"..."
Rick gripped the grenade, took a deep breath, pulled the pin, dropped the grenade, and turned to run back.
"careful......"
Seeing this, the others quickly lay down on the ground to avoid being injured by the explosion.
Boom.......
With a deafening explosion, the entire pane of glass shattered, and Rick, who didn't have time to lie down, was thrown back by the powerful blast wave...
"Rick!!!"
Lori, protecting little Carl as they lay on the ground, cried out in terror upon seeing this.
Rick, how are you?
Sean asked nervously.
"I...I'm fine..."
Rick pushed himself up from the ground with his hands, feeling a slight concussion, but nothing serious.
"Go..."
"Get out of here quickly..."
Seeing that Rick was unharmed, the group wasted no more time, picked up their belongings, and helped each other through the gaping hole.
"..."
Susan was extremely anxious, looking back repeatedly, but still couldn't see Li Ailun appear.
