Chapter 89: Getting Ready to Leave
The family cars had not been used for a while and needed a thorough check.
Arnold nodded, "Alright, leave it to us."
Over the next two days, the Allen family rarely left their home, trying not to attract attention.
Unbeknownst to them, Einar had already set his sights on them. While the entire base went to collect rice, their absence raised suspicions.
Fernando entered the office and addressed Einar, "Mr. Einar, the couple has been identified. Their real names are Atticus and Blanche, with three children. Their second son, Alexander, is Beryl's ex-boyfriend, and he might know something about Beryl."
"Alexander?" Einar's eyebrows furrowed. In the prophetic dream, Alexander was one of Beryl's pursuers, not playing a significant role and even becoming a stumbling block.
"Bring him here," Einar's voice was cold.
"Yes."Fernando led three people to the sixteenth floor, but they were stopped by a metal gate. They could only knock on the gate and call out.
Alice, hearing the noise, came out and, seeing Fernando, guessed they were from Einar."Who are you?" She pretended not to recognize them.
Having investigated the Allen family, Fernando easily guessed that she was Alice. "I'm Mr. Einar's subordinate. Is your second brother Alexander at home?"
"He's not," Alice replied without hesitation.
Fernando frowned. "You can come in and search if you don't believe me." Despite saying so, Alice showed no intention of opening the door.
Fernando: "..."
"If Mr. Einar has something with my second brother, I can pass on the message," Alice said with a smile on her face.
Fernando replied indifferently, "I don't know. Chapter 89: Getting Ready to Leave

"If Mr. Einar has something with my second brother, I can pass on the message," Alice said with a smile on her face.
Fernando replied indifferently, "I don't know. we will come back tomorrow.After Fernando and his team left, Alice walked back into the room and looked at Alexander sitting on the sofa. "Second brother, any guess why Einar is looking for you?"
Alexander glanced at her, asking timidly, "Could it be about Beryl again?"
"The possibility is high," Alice sympathetically looked at him. "Einar searching everywhere for Beryl, discovering our connection was only a matter of time." She just hadn't expected Einar to move so quickly.
The Allen family decided to leave the base overnight; waiting any longer was not an option. Packing up the things in the house was convenient. Beds, cabinets, and furniture that couldn't be carried were stored in Alice's space.
Alice also went to the villa area and invited Hurley to leave together. With many people coming and going in the base searching for supplies, several cars leaving simultaneously did not attract attention. If the cars were loaded with bags, they might have been stopped and inspected at the gate.
The cars of Alice and the others were empty, not resembling an escape from the base, so they were allowed to pass.
After completely leaving the base, Alice breathed a sigh of relief; they wouldn't be coming back. Meanwhile, Einar was in his office reviewing the surveillance throughout the base. These cameras had recently been installed.
As soon as he opened the feed, he saw several cars leaving the base. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the Allen family and Hurley, the person he had been trying to recruit.
Fernando happened to come to report progress, seeing Einar's displeased expression. He quickly asked, "Mr. Einar, where are you going?"
" Allen family."
Five minutes later, Einar, accompanied by a dozen people, arrived on the sixteenth floor. The metal gate had already been removed, but the door to the room was tightly shut.
"Break down the door," Einar ordered.
His subordinates waiting on the side immediately took action, quickly removing the door.The group entered the room to find it completely empty, not even a trace of garbage left.
Fernando was somewhat puzzled, "When did they move out?"
"Chase them!" Einar immediately ordered.
Fernando quickly mobilized a few cars to follow. In the car, Einar contemplated the unusual actions of the Allen family.
Fernando glanced at Einar through the rearview mirror, hesitated, and finally spoke up. "Mr. Einar, our team found some information about Beryl. She may no longer be in this world."
Einar had wanted to report this earlier, but Einar hadn't given him a chance to speak.
"Explain," Einar's tone was stern.
According to the investigation, Beryl had come to the m base during extreme heat and had registered for tasks such as transporting supplies. However, since she followed a convoy to Peach Blossom Village, she never returned. When the natural disaster struck, chaos erupted nationwide, and a woman like Beryl, with no means of self-defense, likely met a violent end outside.
Einar's brows furrowed even tighter. Beryl's space was crucial to him; those supplies were safest when stored within it. Beryl was dead, but the Allen family was still alive – something was not right. There had to be a connection.
"What about the investigation into the Allen family?" Einar asked.
Fernando responded, "There's little information on the Allen family. Since they arrived at the base, they rarely go out and interact with others. Oddly enough, their supplies seem never-ending. People in the same building say the family rarely goes out to collect supplies."
Upon hearing this, a mysterious glint flashed in Einar's eyes. He seemed to have grasped the key to the situation. The space that originally belonged to Beryl might have fallen into the hands of the Allen family. They had stored supplies, which explained why they never ran out. Einar's immediate search for Beryl had startled the Allen family, leading them to hastily escape."No one from the Allen family is to be spared; capture them all," Einar commanded. Among the family of five, one of them surely had the space Einar sought. Only by holding that person in his grasp could he proceed with his plans.
Though Fernando was unaware of Einar's change of focus, upon receiving the order, he accelerated the car.
Half an hour later, they vaguely spotted the tail end of the Allen family's convoy. Fernando floored the accelerator, relentlessly chasing them.
Alice also noticed the pursuing vehicles behind them. While she couldn't discern who it was from the distance, the hostile intent was apparent.
Atticus took a telescope from Alice and observed carefully. After a while, he grimly said, "I see Einar and his subordinates. How did they discover our escape so quickly?"
It hadn't been long since they left the base, yet they were already being pursued.Alice calmly increased the speed, contemplating countermeasures.
The two groups chased each other, but they maintained a distance. Einar and his team couldn't catch up no matter how hard they tried.Move to the side; let me take over," Einar couldn't bear watching and directly seized the driver's seat.
Fernando sat in the passenger seat, watching Einar skillfully drift and accelerate, closing the gap between the two convoys. The closest encounter came within ten centimeters of collision.
Fernando seized the opportunity to shoot at the front vehicles several times, narrowly missing the tires. Alice skillfully avoided the shots.
"They have submachine guns; get down!" Fernando saw Arnold wielding a submachine gun out of the window and immediately shouted.
Einar also noticed and swiftly steered the car into the blind spot on the left before the gunfire started. As Arnold shifted to the left, Einar maneuvered the car to the right.
Arnold's skills were lacking, hitting only the rear of the car and the windows. Fortunately, no one inside was harmed.
