Chapter 59
The atmosphere in the room was still tense as the woman standing before Jhonny and his team began to speak. Her face was filled with determination, even though her body was tired and injured.
"We have spread throughout the base, as you requested earlier," the woman said, her voice calm but filled with urgency. "With the help of Denada's coordinate tracking device, we managed to evade the remaining aliens and found something important."
Jhonny and his team listened intently, especially Denada, who was curious about what the women had done. "What did you find?" asked Denada in a serious tone, her eyes full of curiosity.
The woman took a deep breath before continuing. "We found ammunition that seems to function as explosives. We've scattered the materials in various corners of the base. With a single shot, those materials will trigger a massive explosion that could destroy this entire base."
The look on Jhonny's face, which had been tense, now seemed to change. His sharp eyes shone with hope, as if the solution he had been looking for was finally in sight. "Are you serious?" he asked for confirmation.
The woman nodded. "Yes, this can not only destroy the base, but also burn all the aliens inside, including the alien babies that were just born."
Alice, who was standing beside Jhonny, looked at the woman with a serious look. "Are you sure all the explosives are well distributed? We can't risk failing."
"We've made sure everything is spread out in strategic places. They are highly explosive, and once triggered, the explosion will spread throughout the base. You only need one shot with a lot of power to start it."
Denada looked at Jhonny, then back at the woman. "Then we need to get out of here quickly before the detonation happens."
The woman nodded quickly. "That's what I'm suggesting. The aliens are busy in their baby storage room right now. They won't suspect we've deployed the explosives. We need to get out now, before they realize our presence again."
Jhonny thought for a moment, his eyes scanning his team members one by one. On the one hand, the desire to destroy this alien base was overwhelming in him. On the other hand, there was concern about the time they had. But finally, the decision was clear.
"We're doing it," Jhonny said firmly. "Everyone, get ready. Let's get out of here, then blow this base up."
Rian, who already looked exhausted after the previous battle, nodded in agreement. "This is the best plan we have. Come on, we have to hurry."
Fredy, who was standing next to Denada, signaled for everyone to move. "All is clear. Let's leave this place."
They all moved quickly, carefully but confidently. Jhonny led the way out of the room, followed by Alice, Rian, Denada, Fredy, and the woman who gave them the information. Everyone walked in silence, only the sound of their footsteps could be heard, while their minds were filled with what was about to happen.

Getting out of the base was easier than they thought. Just as the woman had said, the aliens were still busy in their baby storage room, apparently panicked by the alarm that had gone off earlier. None of them seemed to be standing guard in the corridors that Jhonny and his team passed through. This gave them the opportunity to exit unmolested.
As they began to approach the exit, Jhonny paused to make sure everything was secure. He looked back, looking at his friends who had also stopped with him. "We're almost there," he said in a low voice.
Alice approached her, putting a hand on her shoulder. "This is a good plan. We can end all this now."
Jhonny nodded. "Yes, but we still have to be careful until we actually get out."
They continued on their way, and finally, after a few more minutes, they arrived at the large headquarters exit. As soon as they got out, there was an immediate sense of fresh air, even though they were still in the vicinity of the base. Denada checked the last coordinates of her tracker, making sure that they were far enough away from the impending explosion.
"We're safe here," Denada said, her voice relieved.
Jhonny checked around, making sure there were no aliens chasing them. "Okay, everyone out?"
Fredy nodded. "Everyone is here. We're ready."
The woman who had given the information looked at Jhonny expectantly. "Now, you just need to fire your plasma gun at high power into one of the explosives we've spread out. That will trigger everything."
Jhonny took out his plasma gun, making sure the settings were maximized to produce a high-power shot. He took a deep breath, feeling how important this moment was. All their struggles, all their pain and loss, would climax here.
"Come on, Jhonny," Alice whispered beside him, encouraging him. "It's time."
Jhonny aimed his plama gun at the base, focusing his aim. He locked his aim on one of the explosive points the woman had told him about. Without hesitation, he pulled the trigger.
A powerful plasma shot shot out of the muzzle of his gun, traveling at high speed towards the base. Once the shot hit its target, it only took a few seconds before a massive explosion occurred.
The sound of the explosion echoed loudly around them, and from a distance, they could see how the base began to collapse. Flames began to spread from the point of the first explosion, devouring the entire building. Thick smoke billowed into the sky, accompanying the screams of the aliens trapped inside.
Jhonny, Alice, Rian, Denada, Fredy, and the woman just stood still, watching the destruction of the base. The moment was dramatic, yet satisfying. They had succeeded. All the aliens inside the base, including the newborns, would vanish along with the explosion.
"This is... amazing," Fredy muttered, unable to hide his admiration.
Denada nodded slowly. "All thanks to our cooperation and the help of the women we saved."
Jhonny lowered his gun, letting out a long sigh. "We did it. There will be no more threats from them."
The woman standing beside them smiled with relief. "You have all done a wonderful thing. We are very grateful to you, if it wasn't for you coming here we would have been languishing in that disgusting place and forced to carry thousands of their babies until we couldn't carry any more."
Jhonny looked at her with a faint smile, a deep sense of exhaustion finally beginning to creep into his body. "This victory belongs to all of us. Now, we can go home with our heads held high."
With the alien base now completely destroyed, they all knew that the great threat was over. But in their hearts, they also knew that their journey was not over. They had to bring Frigia Sanguinis back to earth, but that was no big deal as they just needed to pick up as much of the rock as possible and return to earth safely. After all, the aliens that threatened their safety had already been destroyed, so they could return to earth safely.
