My Waste Husband -
Chapter 1319
Chapter 1319
Princess Anna had entertained the thought that Henry was bluffing. She wasn't foolish. The fact that she had been successfully running the operation in the mountain without raising unnecessary suspicion showed that Princess Anna was rather shrewd.
However, Princess Anna didn't want to take risks. There were things that could not be seen by Henry. Princess Anna would rather destroy everything than take a risk.
After pressing the button, she went toward the nearest exit without looking back. That's the route she had prepared for herself.
The self-destruction mechanism didn't leave too much time after the button was pressed.
Thirty seconds after the press of the button, the mountain started to shake slightly.
Henry and the other two also felt the shaking while fighting against the experimental creatures. They knew what had happened immediately.
"F*ck!" Gardiner swore, "It's getting serious. That b*tch is crazy. She wants to destroy this place."
Although they were in a stand- alone structure within the mountain, when the mountain collapse, they also couldn't survive due to the lack of oxygen.
"Why are you still fighting? Run for your life!" Gardiner kicked away the creature in front of him and got himself a window to run away.
There was no time to think. One second of delay could cost people's life.
Henry and the man didn't want to stay in the fight, either. They also got away soon.
"There's no way over there. Here." The man called out.
On his way, Gardiner suddenly changed his direction after hearing the shout. He ran toward Henry and the man.
The creatures weren't strong enough to stop them from escaping. They could only slow the three of them down at most.
The man seemed to be familiar with the place. He led the way for Henry and Gardiner.
The mountain shook more volatile. It had become hard for people to stand still. All the experimental creatures were scared, too. They stopped chasing Henry, Gardiner, and the man and ran for their lives.
Without the interference of the experimental creatures, the three of them sped up and ran into a hall.
There were a lot of devices here. Some of them had a shape like a coffin and were made of steel.
The man jumped into one of the coffin- shaped devices. He tapped a few times on the inner wall of the device he lied in, and a glass cover slowly closed above the device.
Before the glass cover totally closed, he shouted.
"Get in one of them. The life-pod should be strong enough."
The glass cover shut, and no voice could be heard anymore.
"Should?" Gardiner complained, "You don't know for sure?"
"Stop complaining. It's going to collapse!" Henry roared. He followed the man and jumped into another life-pod.
The shake was getting worse. Some steel structures of the base started to deform. The selfdestruction mechanism was implemented to destroy everything, and that included the destruction of the steel structures.
"Hail Mary full of grace...God bless..." Gardiner prayed and jumped into another life-pod. While the glass cover was closing, he shouted, "Henry, if I come out of this alive, don't forget my Rolls- Royce..."
Kaboom!
An explosion sound drowned out Gardiner's voice.
The mountain was collapsing.
Under the night sky, the rumbling sound shook the town in the distance.
Everyone could see the collapse of the Mountain of the Gods, which had been standing for thousands of years. Smoke and dust billowed into the sky, and the ground was shaking.
In the hotel room, the silver-haired woman was watching the Mountain of the Gods going down. She swirled the wineglass in her hand and smiled, "Someone is shaken pretty bad. It seems that you are really scared of letting Henry find out about your secret. You even destroy the whole base. I guess you're going crazy right now. Alvin League, you just destroy one of your most important projects."
In the town nearby, people knelt on the ground and cried. They were praying for the Gods to ease their anger.
They thought the collapse of the Mountain of the Gods was a manifestation of the Gods' anger toward the human race.
A long time had passed until the area of the Mountain of the Gods finally went quiet.
During the time Henry was in the life-pod, he felt waves of commotion rocking the life- pod back and forth. It took a long while for his life-pod to stop moving.
The reinforced steel container of the life-pod had been deformed, and the bullet-proof glass cover had cracked.
The life- pods of Gardiner and the man were nowhere to be found.
A huge rock was suspended a few centimeters above the glass cover of Henry's life-pod, and it could fall at any time.
Henry waited for a few minutes. He started to move after making sure that nothing would happen unexpectedly. He tried to open the glass cover. It was luck that the control of the glass cover was still functioning.
Henry tried to nudge the rock above his head. He was relieved to find out that it was movable. Henry could make a way out of here as long as there was enough space for him to work his power.
Henry was also very relieved to find out that he could cultivate Qi again.
He moved the rock above his head away easily. He then found out there was nothing above the rock.
Henry leaped into the space above the rock and found out the space was huge. After a moment of observation, Henry was sure that the space was below the original location of the Mountain of the Gods where the Antiquity Country's inheritance was supposed to be at.
Henry saw two smashed statues of six-winged archangels. He could only imagine what they looked like before the collapse of the mountain.
Standing in front of Henry was a huge gate. On it, there were strange symbols. Henry recognized the symbols to be Antiquity Country's oldest words. It meant the doorway to Heaven.
The bottom half of the gate was buried in rocks, and Henry was standing on top of them. He remembered the image of this gate from the surveillance video feed. He guessed that the gate should be twenty meters in height. At this moment, there were only five meters of the gate showing above the rocks. Henry felt lucky that he wasn't found himself on the bottom end of the fifteen meters of rocks. If so, he couldn't get out easily even if he used Qi.
Not far from Henry, a rock was moved away. The man crawled out.
"It seems that we're lucky," The man grinned when he saw Henry. He then moved his eyes toward the gate, and his eyes were full of excitement.
