Chapter 1104: Chapter 1104: Side Story – Live Streaming World 73

Yuri’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he looked at everyone: “It’s a soldier, this sound… it’s definitely a soldier.”

Shen Mo said, “It seems not all aliens went to the eighth floor; besides the Queen, there’s also a soldier on the upper floors, perhaps… some ordinary aliens as well.”

Ada weighed the gun in her hand, “Armed and with ammo, it’s not impossible to rush up and kill them, but I worry about making too much noise. What if those monsters on the eighth floor come charging up?”

“Although we still have explosives,” Yuri said with a frown, “they might not be enough to kill a soldier. Soldiers are very fast; they won’t just stay in one spot, making them difficult to hit unless we corner them.”

“What do we do now?” Natasha looked uncertain and turned to Yuri, “Should we lure the soldier from upstairs down here? With the soldier guarding, we can’t deal with those eggs. We need to think of something.”

“Actually… how long would it take to get from the eighth floor to the thirty-second floor?” Bai Youwei asked, “How many seconds does it normally take for explosives to detonate?”

“About five seconds,” Shen Mo took out a grenade he carried with him, “This type with a ring pulls detonates in 3.2 seconds, it’s more powerful but has a smaller blast radius.”

Bai Youwei reached out to him: “Give me one with a five-second fuse.”

Shen Mo raised an eyebrow, looking at her skeptically: “What do you need the explosives for?”

Bai Youwei said, “Just give it to me, you’ll know soon~”

Shen Mo, although confused, instinctively met her request and picked one from the last precious twelve explosives to hand to her.

…

[(=_=) You know, I have a bad feeling about this.]

[Me too…]

[Cabbage… (th_th) promise me, let’s be okay, alright?]

[Stop talking, stop talking! I’m so nervous right now!]

[Damn Cabbage, please don’t mess things up again!]

[What’s going on with you guys? What’s Cabbage done now? Why do I feel like I’m the only one out of the loop…]

…

Bai Youwei pressed the elevator button; swiftly, the elevator came down from the thirty-second floor to the thirty-first.

Yuri suddenly understood what Bai Youwei wanted to do and exclaimed in shock: “You want to use the elevator as bait to lure the soldier in and blow it up?”

“Right~” Bai Youwei stepped into the elevator, entered the password, pressed the button for the thirty-second floor, then quickly walked out before the doors closed, a smug smile on her face.

She said to Shen Mo, “Am I smart or what?”

Natasha couldn’t help saying, “But, but if we do that! We won’t be able to use the elevator to go down!”

Bai Youwei froze, staring blankly at Natasha.

The explosive trigger was already activated, as if she hadn’t considered the issue of going downstairs at all. Holding the explosive in her hand, she suddenly didn’t know whether to throw it or not.

As the elevator doors were about to close, Shen Mo snatched the explosive and threw it into the elevator! Then he knocked her to the ground!

Everyone else also frantically hit the deck!

A few seconds later, a thunderous boom came from above their heads! — Because they were so close, large chunks of the thirty-first floor’s ceiling started falling, and the nearby elevator was affected too, making a loud metallic crash, as if there were issues with the cables or pulleys.

A moment later, a shrill scream that belonged uniquely to the Queen erupted from the thirty-second floor.

It was raging and calling to its “offspring.”

Everyone stood up in silence, their feelings complicated…

Shen Mo didn’t know what to say, rapidly checking the time on his wristwatch, he spoke calmly: “Let’s hurry up. The aliens from the eighth floor will soon reach the thirty-second. Before they do, we must clear out the remaining aliens on this floor to avoid getting sandwiched between them.”

Ada looked at Bai Youwei, “Weiwei…”

He closed his eyes, sighed, then shook his head, “Forget it, just… never mind…”

Bai Youwei patted the dust off herself, defensively posturing, “Anyway, there was no better plan, was there?”

Ada: “Right then…”
