Chapter 386: Chapter 384: Waiting for the Rabbit by the Stump

Seeing that Jiang Yan had no significant reaction, Zhang Xiaoxiao grew anxious.

He propped himself up on his elbows, strained his body forward and arched: “Miss Jiang, please hurry and take me downstairs to change the battery! Otherwise, this bomb is extremely powerful, and you wouldn’t want to be accidentally injured, right?”

Jiang Yan sneered, “I’ll ask you one last time, what is the purpose of Musen Base injecting these people with hormones and viruses, fattening them up only to kill them later?”

She had already clearly noticed that Zhang Xiaoxiao was not only stalling for time but also lying.

The battery on the mini bomb suit is super durable, even in extremely cold weather it can last for three to five years.

The reason for the sudden “beeping” noise is simply because the bomb suit detected that the control button has been away from the suit for a certain amount of time.

All these things were once told to her by arms dealers from the Beautiful Country.

She was merely asking casually just now, not expecting him to blurt out a response so readily.

“What I said is all true!” Zhang Xiaoxiao tried to argue, but a Vine of Hua Bao swiftly burrowed into his chest.

He naturally couldn’t perceive it.

But soon, a piercing pain emanated from his chest.

It felt like someone stabbed his chest with a jagged knife, then started furiously twisting it inside his flesh and blood.

Zhang Xiaoxiao’s face turned deathly pale and he let out an “ao” scream, just as he began to wonder whether his heart condition was triggered by the anti-freeze injections, scarlet and warm blood started flowing out from the gaps in the bomb suit.

His pupils dilated suddenly, and he looked furiously at Jiang Yan, a far cry from his previous composure, and said:

“You demoness!”

“I’ll ask you one more time, will you speak?” Jiang Yan bent over calmly, reaching out to collect the stool into her Space.

“Ha! You think I, having put on this bomb suit, am afraid of death?” Zhang Xiaoxiao scoffed derisively, his forehead now covered in dense beads of sweat.

This place was discovered by outsiders and destroyed; other than bringing Jiang Yan back to the base as a way to redeem himself, he had no other way out.

On the contrary, if he dies here, and if it also triggers the bomb suit’s explosion, then all the truths of this place would be covered up.

At least the responsibilities originally on his shoulders would be wiped clean because of the explosion of the bomb suit.

His family at the base would receive a significant sum of compensation and enjoy excellent treatment.

As long as Musen Base exists for one more day, his family could live well for one more day.

His noble death in exchange for his family’s well-being for the rest of their lives was worth it.

Jiang Yan had overheard Xue Dazheng’s words when he distributed bomb suits to his subordinates, so she naturally knew what his wearing one implied.

She didn’t care to waste words with him.

“Hua Bao, take him, let’s go down,” Jiang Yan said. With a thought, she took out a pack of explosives from her Space.

This pack of explosives was from the ammo depot in the AS District, and she had quite a few of them.

“You–what are you doing?!” Zhang Xiaoxiao’s eyes contracted, and he quickly realized, “There are still many living people upstairs and downstairs! Are you sure you want to blow up the building?!”

Jiang Yan ignored him and glanced around.

However, she didn’t find anything that could be taken into her Space.

The sealing machine, conveyer belt, and storage boxes, were all blood-stained and nauseating to look at.

As for those living people on the floors above and below mentioned by Zhang Xiaoxiao, some had been exposed to nuclear radiation, others injected with unknown viruses and hormones.

These people were like ticking time bombs, naturally, she couldn’t leave them be.

Hua Bao wrapped up Zhang Xiaoxiao and also rolled up Jiang Yan, and began to head downstairs.

Jiang Yan placed an explosive pack every other floor as they descended.

With the power of the bomb suit, there was no need to place a fuse.

Just the blast wave triggered by an explosion downstairs would set off a chain reaction to detonate all the explosives upstairs.

Zhang Xiaoxiao was shaking all over like a sieve, he opened his mouth to beg for mercy, but a Vine from Hua Bao slapped him straight across the face.

Teeth shattered, he spewed out a mouthful of bloody water and several broken teeth, suddenly realizing something.

Jiang Yan had a divine object secretly aiding her!

This was something the higher-ups had not informed him about!

This means he knew the other party’s secrets and ultimate weapon!

The other party will definitely kill to silence him!

Begging for mercy is useless!

Realizing the reality, Zhang Xiaoxiao’s head drooped down.

Upon reaching the floor with the door, Hua Bao threw him to the ground with a “bang!”

Jiang Yan instructed it to coil around an explosive pack and place it below the floor where Zhang Xiaoxiao used to live.

After completing these tasks, Jiang Yan opened the door and briskly walked out into the wind and snow outside.

When she got about ten meters away, she stopped, took out the bomb suit’s remote control.

“Hua Bao, come up, let’s go into the Space first,” Jiang Yan said. Even though she knew Hua Bao was capable, she was worried that the explosion would have adverse effects on it.

“Don’t worry, Mom, I need to stand guard for you outside!” Hua Bao confidently declared.

If it were to enter as well, what would happen if the ground where Jiang Yan stood collapsed and buried her?

“Are you sure?”

“Yes, sure!”

“Then be careful. If anything goes wrong, immediately burrow into a crevice in the ground.”

“Okay.”

The moment her fingers slid and pressed the button, Jiang Yan’s mind moved, and she entered the Space.

At the same time, Hua Bao swiftly drew its vines to weave a circular frame, enclosing the area where she stood.

“Boom!”

The deafening sound erupted.

As the earth shook, the entire tower instantly turned into a pile of rubble.

The surrounding snowflakes and smaller meteors were directly blown away, and the ground cracked rapidly around Yunding Tower with “crack, crack” sounds.

The underground tunnel that had been descending also collapsed during the explosion.

The moment the explosion began, Hua Bao transformed its body into a gaseous state.

The powerful shockwave merely pushed it back a little.

When the visibility outside improved slightly, Hua Bao announced, “Mom, the explosion is over.”

“Okay.” Jiang Yan, who had entered the Space, didn’t immediately remove her clothes that were covered in a foul smell and bloodstains; she just took off her gas mask.

Standing beside the garden, she took several deep breaths of fresh air, then patiently waited for the situation to stabilize outside.

Upon hearing Hua Bao’s words, she relaxed her body and headed towards the Apple Cabin.

“Hua Bao, keep a close eye on our surroundings and see if anyone approaches tonight.”

It was too late, so she decided to rest on the spot.

Incidentally keeping watch for any surprised visitors.

Having been bombed, she wondered if the people from Musen Base would notice.

“Alright, Mom.”

Halfway there, a Reindeer came running towards her, hooves scattering.

As if it sensed the stink and blood on her body, it paused its steps warily, hesitated for a second, and then approached Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan gently stroked its head, saying tenderly, “Good boy, go back first, I’ll play with you later.”

The Reindeer, as if understanding, rubbed its head against her palm and then turned to leave.

It was nearly four in the morning now.

Jiang Yan had hardly had a drop of water all day.

Thinking of getting something to eat, but upon seeing the stains on her body, her appetite vanished in an instant.

After removing her filthy clothes, she took a big gulp of kumquat lemon water and headed straight for the shower.
