EBE Chapter 1340 He's also good at shirking responsibility.
Chapter 1340 He's also good at shirking responsibility.
Silently adding several more layers of protection to himself, Sun Wukong wiped the sweat from his brow with lingering fear.
That was too dangerous! If I hadn't been careful, I would have died here!
At the same time, he couldn't help but inwardly condemn these masked people.
Shouldn't something so dangerous be suppressed more effectively?
How could the mutation have occurred so easily?
It can't be transformed into something too special.
The two are integrated.
That's what caused this strange change, right?
If that's the case, then he's really in a bad mood!
Sun Wukong glanced at the dense branches around him, hoping that rescue would arrive soon.
According to his estimate, this thing occupies one-fifth of the entire base.
Most of the area was already covered with branches.
Moreover, these branches seem poised to continue growing outwards.
Anyone with eyes can see that this thing is going berserk.
Those guys in charge of the crackdown should be able to see the dangerous situation here, right?
As for the other researchers affected...
Sun Wukong could only silently apologize to them in his heart.
On the other side, the researchers who had luckily escaped the pursuit of the tree branches dared not relax their vigilance for a moment.
Only one thought occupied their minds: escape, they had to escape.
As for where to escape to, that's up to fate.
After all, this base caused such a big incident; it would be terrible if the Heavenly Dao Alliance found out.
They were always hiding in the shadows.
If this is discovered, the consequences... will likely be targeted by the entire Heavenly Dao Alliance.
If it really turned out that way, it would be too terrifying.
Of course, the most crucial point is that even if they wanted to escape to the Heavenly Dao Alliance, there is a high probability that they would not be able to get there.
Those masked men responsible for patrolling and pursuing are the only ones who can freely visit their base and the Heavenly Dao Alliance.
Researchers like them are not allowed free access to the base.
Ahem, we've gotten a bit off-topic.
In short, the researchers only have a few possible escape routes.
They could only flee in the direction where they had not yet suffered.
During this process, Sun Wukong, who had sensed the presence of other people, also arrived.
His actions were very low-key.
These researchers, who were desperately fleeing, did not notice that a Sun Wukong had silently appeared in their ranks.
However, as the number of researchers increased.
Eventually, someone recognized Sun Wukong.
It's just because we haven't reached a safe zone yet.
Even if the person who recognized Sun Wukong wanted to ask what had happened.
Given the current predicament, we can only give up for now.
Fortunately, this predicament is only temporary.
Just when these researchers were about to give up, the masked patrolmen in charge of the suppression finally arrived.
Some of the patrolling masked men took these researchers away.
The other group, armed, prepared to infiltrate the ruins of the cultivation chamber.
They planned to suppress the erupting mother tree.
……
The researchers, having finally arrived at the safe zone, quickly reached the rest area under the guidance of the patrolling masked men.
Once the researchers, still shaken, had calmed down, some of them finally couldn't help but bombard Sun Wukong with criticism.
"Chief, what exactly happened? The mother tree was fine before, so why did it suddenly go berserk?"
After all, everyone knows that the Mother Tree of the [Life and Death Contract] is the responsibility of the Cultivation Room.
Hua Wei is the person primarily responsible for the cultivation room.
The mother tree's rampage has caused such great losses to the base.
Moreover, it has caused the deaths of many researchers.
From both a moral and logical standpoint, seeking redress is a perfectly reasonable thing to do.
Someone has to pay for this, right?
Of course, Sun Wukong, who was being questioned, couldn't explain why the Mother Tree was berserk.
He came here undercover to find out the origins of this base and these masked men.
Actively revealing one's identity is practically suicide, isn't it?
But now, if he can't give a suitable reason, it seems he's not far from death...
What should he do? Should he take direct action and completely wipe out the base?
As long as the news that he was an undercover agent didn't get out, he would be safe.
Thinking of this, Sun Wukong's murderous intent began to rise.
But he quickly suppressed the murderous intent rising in his heart.
The person in charge of the base came to the rest area.
Without fully understanding the capabilities of the person in charge, taking rash action might have adverse effects on oneself.
Therefore, it's best to be patient a little longer.
With this thought in mind, Sun Wukong calmed down completely.
Although the person in charge still wore a patterned mask, their true appearance could not be seen.
But the other party immediately questioned Sun Wukong.
"We entrusted you with this task because we believed in your abilities, but look at what you've done! Why did the mother tree suddenly go berserk!"
The other party's tough attitude was undoubtedly a message to Sun Wukong.
If Sun Wukong cannot provide a reasonable explanation, then he shall bear the consequences.
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong showed no sign of panic; instead, he appeared somewhat indignant.
"Shouldn't I be asking you about this? What promises did you make when you placed the mother tree in my nursery?"
Sun Wukong stared intently at the person in charge of the base.
Without waiting for the person in charge to answer, he said, word by word:
"You said back then that you had suppressed all the values of the mother tree to a stable range, so I could conduct my research however I wanted, right?"
Although the person in charge did not want to admit it, they had to.
This is indeed what they promised to do.
"But what does this have to do with the mother tree going berserk?" the person in charge asked again.
When Sun Wukong saw the person in charge ask this question, he knew that the other party had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem.
Without any hesitation, he passed the buck.
Upon realizing this, Sun Wukong immediately became furious: "What does it have to do with anything? It has a very important relationship..."
"I just wanted to test the new material and see how it would react to the mother tree, but this is the result!"
"Your promises are completely useless! That room simply cannot completely suppress the Mother Tree!"
In short, there's only one meaning behind everything he said.
The mother tree's rampage was entirely due to the inadequate suppression efforts at the base, which allowed it to break free of control.
This has absolutely nothing to do with him.
Are these people going to blame him for studying the mother tree?
Do they dare?
Upon hearing this, the person in charge's expression instantly darkened.
Isn't this just shifting the blame onto them?
Sun Wukong then said something else.
"I remember you swore back then that there would be absolutely no problem, right?"
