Chapter 852 - 851: Dare to Draw Lots?
Wang Dadong sighed. Since Hao Wentao had already made it so clear, he had no choice but to head back and asked, "Has the Organization started evacuating the scientists?"
"Not yet. After all, the information might not be accurate, but if something really does happen, all of us in the Dragon Squad might as well commit suicide to atone for it! This is a matter of great importance, Comrade Wang Dadong. I hope you can make it within twenty minutes!"

"But Iām over a hundred kilometers away from Jinding Building. Twenty minutes... Even a plane wouldnāt make it in time!" Wang Dadong said with a slight frown.
This is what they mean by ādistant water wonāt quench a nearby fireā.
"Twenty minutes, no problem!" Angel suddenly exclaimed from the side.
Wang Dadongās eyes lit up; how could he have forgotten that there was a female driving goddess right here? He immediately said to Angelās mother, "Auntie, we have something important to attend to and must leave for a bit."
Soon, a silver Ferrari sped out of the garage.
"The best German engine, 1000 horsepower, max speed of 400 kilometers per hour, and of course, after my modifications, an even higher top speed!" Angel proudly said from the passenger seat.
Wang Dadong took the wheel himself, driving the Ferrari as if it were a cheetah, charging straight through.
"Attention to the vehicle ahead, you are severely overspeeding. Please pull over to the side of the road immediately."
"Iām saving the world here!" Without a second word, Wang Dadong floored the accelerator, and the car sped up once again.
A car modified by Angel is simply kick-ass.
But suddenly, a white motorcycle came speeding down from an overpass above, landing with a clang right beside the Ferrari, keeping pace with it.
"Holy crap, what is this, a movie? This is badass!" Wang Dadong cursed aloud when he saw who was on the motorcycle. He was in for another surprise. "Itās you!"
"How is it you again!"
Such was the exclamation from the motorcycle as well.
Turns out, the motorcycle rider was none other than Xiang Yumeng, whoād had several run-ins with Wang Dadong!
"Is this some kind of coincidence?" Wang Dadong felt a bit depressed. Lifeās really full of crap every step of the way.
"Youāre overspeeding! Pull over immediately!" Xiang Yumeng, while driving the motorcycle, shouted at Wang Dadong through the loudspeaker.
"Donāt bother me; Brother here is off to save the world!" Wang Dadong couldnāt be bothered with this ghost-like woman and shifted up a gear.
However, no matter how fast the Ferrari accelerated, he just couldnāt shake off Xiang Yumeng.
"Her bike must be modified too; it can reach speeds of at least 300 kilometers per hour," Angel frowned and said.
"That fast? Does she have a death wish?" Wang Dadong only then realized the speed had soared to 180 kilometers per hour.
At such speeds, itād be fine on a highway, but on regular streets, it was downright terrifying.
"Is there any way to lose her?" Wang Dadongās expression changed.
Angel nodded and then pressed a button on the steering wheel.
A strong sense of propulsion hit them, and the speed displayed on the dashboard instantly shot up to 480 kilometers per hour!
"Damn!"
This frightening acceleration had taken Wang Dadong by surprise.
Luckily, his reaction time was much faster than ordinary peopleās, and since there were no vehicles ahead, he managed to control the car and avoided crashing into others.
If someone were observing from behind at this moment, they would see two meter-long blue flames shooting out from the exhaust pipes of the Ferrari.
Like a rocket, the Ferrari tore along the road, and only Wang Dadong could handle the car at such high speeds.
"Angel, can you even drive at this speed?" While controlling the car, Wang Dadong marveled. It was almost like flying.
"I canāt." Angel replied as a matter of fact, "But this speed is set specifically for you."
In just twelve minutes, the Ferrari stopped in front of Jinding Building. When the car came to a halt, the tires screeched against the pavement, filling the air with the smell of burning rubber.
"Comrade Wang Dadong, youāre finally here!" Hao Wentao showed a trace of delight upon seeing Wang Dadong. He never expected Wang Dadong to arrive in just twelve minutes despite being more than a hundred kilometers away.
"Whatās the situation now?" Wang Dadong asked with a frown.
"Weāre preparing to evacuate. Already, hundreds of people have begun a carpet-style search," Hao Wentao said.
"Call everyone back to me," Wang Dadong commanded while glancing at the Jinding Building.
King Kong was shocked. "Brother Dong, the lives of the scientists and countless Jinding employees are at risk. Itās not good to call back the search teams now, is it?"
But Hao Wentao hesitated not at all, immediately giving the order through the radio for all searchers to gather in the square. He trusted Wang Dadong, who would not do anything in vain.
"Comrade Wang Dadong, everyone is assembled. What should we do now?"
Wang Dadong looked over the group of more than a hundred warriors, noticed around twenty female soldiers - with Piao Xue among them - and then said, "I suggest the women can leave now."
"I donāt think thatās necessary. The situation is urgent, and one more person means one more source of strength," Hao Wentao said.
"What do you think?" Wang Dadong looked toward the female soldiers in the team.
"We want to participate in the mission. We wonāt regret it, even in death!" All the female soldiers spoke in unison.
Wang Dadongās face broke into a strange smile, "If thatās the case, then you all can stay. Except for Comrade Piao Xue."
"Why should I be the only one? I want to be on the mission too!" Piao Xue said coldly.
Wang Dadong glanced at Hao Wentao, who understood and immediately ordered, "Comrade Piao Xue, step out."
"I wonāt!"
"This is an order!"
Only then did Piao Xue, grinding her teeth, step out from the lineup, glaring fiercely at Wang Dadong.
Wang Dadong chuckled, "Xiaoxuexue, you may hate me now, but youāll thank me later."
"Who would thank you? I loathe you, you shameless wretch! And stop calling me that, itās disgusting!" Piao Xue turned away, refusing to deal with Wang Dadong anymore.
"What do we do now?" Hao Wentao asked Wang Dadong.
"Wait!" said Wang Dadong.
"Wait? Comrade Wang Dadong, this is no time to joke," Hao Wentaoās expression changed.
"Captain, I told you it was pointless to call this guy over. Instead of letting him waste time here, we might as well continue the search," Piao Xue looked at Wang Dadong scornfully.
Wang Dadong ignored Piao Xueās remarks and pulled out a cigarette to light up and take a drag.
Piao Xue grew even angrier, snatching the cigarette from Wang Dadongās mouth and said fiercely, "Wang Dadong, canāt you see the fireās at your eyebrows, and you still have the mood to smoke here!"
Wang Dadong, frustrated, retorted, "I say, Xiaoxuexue, if I donāt smoke then, care for a kiss instead?"
