Take Me Away novel Chapter 145

The man in the dim light had striking features and looked very handsome. His expression so was fierce that the two men would doubt that he could kill them easily. Of course, the man was none other than Spencer.

As the truck was leaving the base, it passed in the space between him and Francis. Spencer took the opportunity to jump into the truck while he was out of Francis' sight. Just a moment later, he heard Francis' furious voice, and realized that his decision to get into the truck was the right one, considering the circumstances.

Without looking back, he pointed the knives at the other two men. "Quick. There's an intersection ten kilometers ahead. Drop me there."

"Yes, yes! Of course! Just please don't kill us!" The driver nodded immediately, sweat running down his forehead as he stepped on the accelerator. "I promise to get you there safely!"

"Sir! Please spare our lives!" the other man pleaded as well.

"I have something to ask you," Spencer said coolly. "Where are you two coming from? Z Country?"

"No, we're actually from T Country. We work at the mine. But we don't know anything! We're good people."

The driver nodded in agreement. "Yes, we're good people!"

Spencer raised an eyebrow at them. "Good people, eh? Good people don't carry weapons. Now, hand over all your weapons to me."

The two men turned towards each other, stunned.

"Are you going to give me your weapons or do you want to bleed?" Spencer threatened.

"No, sir, please don't hurt us!" The man immediately took out his gun. "Here you go!"

"Now, throw it out!" Spencer glanced at the man who was driving and added, "His weapon too. Throw them both out of the window!"

"Yes, sir!" The man was flabbergasted, but he quickly complied and threw his gun out of the window. Then, he grabbed the knife tucked near the driver's waist and tossed that out of the window as well. He then turned to Spencer and smiled tentatively. "Sir, is that okay?"

Spencer ignored him and continued questioning them. "If you're not from Z Country, how do you know our native language?"

"We grew up near the border of Z Country and worked at the mine since childhood. The bosses of the mine are all from Z Country. To make a living, we naturally had to learn the language of Z Country."

"What about those guys at the base dressed in white lab coats? Do you know who they are? What kind of drug are they working on currently?"

"We have no idea what goes on in there! We're only allowed to enter the base to drop off the large jade stones that we find in the mine. And while we're in there, we don't dare to ask any questions. Two other miners used to come here before us, but they were killed recently. We're the new replacements, but we've only been here twice so far. The last time we came here was two months ago."

Spencer asked them a few more questions, but after realizing that they didn't have the information he was looking for, he eventually gave up questioning them.

"Not many people who go into the base unauthorized come out alive. You're lucky!"

"What do you mean?" Spencer asked, puzzled.

"Three years ago, soldiers from T Country attacked the base, but almost two thirds of their men died. As a result, T Country had no choice but to agree to a truce with X, and now, they're partners."

Spencer was startled by this information. "So, T Country is working with X? Why haven't I ever heard of this?"

"I haven't heard of it either!" the driver blurted out in surprise.

"Of course you haven't!" His companion suddenly had a smug smile on his face. "One of the soldiers who works with them is my friend. He already lost a leg because he disobeyed them once. Anyway, this is top secret information. He only revealed this information to me when he was really, really drunk."

After hearing this, Spencer became even more determined to break into the base. X had to be stopped at all costs, no matter the danger he would have to face. Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes as he thought of something. 'Charles won't let Fiona's escape slide. I must destroy his base no matter what happens. That's the only way I can ensure Fiona's and everyone else's safety! I need to destroy that laboratory as well before it's too late.'

The truck sped along the empty forest road. Half an hour passed before it finally came to a halt at the intersection.

"Sir, we've reached the intersection," the driver said tentatively,

not daring to look Spencer in the eye.

Before they could say anything more anything more, Spencer hit them hard on the head, knocking both of them unconscious.

"I'll let you guys live!" Spencer muttered with a snort. Then, he stealthily opened the door and got out of the truck without being seen by anyone nearby.

It was well past midnight and yet P City's defense base was brightly illuminated, especially in the hospital where people were still coming and going. Quite some time had passed since Celine was taken to the operating room. However, no one knew of her current condition.

"Fiona!" George rushed to Fiona on his wheelchair, calling out her name. He soon found her crouching on the corridor floor.
