Chapter 30 p2
Yun City was currently at the peak of this group’s power. Due to the terrain here, the grain production was extremely high, and the reserves were abundant, so the people in the base were actually not short of supplies. The survivors who had been gathered at this time were the most loyal.
Therefore, they were also the most difficult to deal with.
Especially at this time, the government was still busy building a base, integrating resources, and ensuring that each official base had enough resources to support the local survivors. They couldn’t spare too many people. Even if they were to attack this side, it was very likely that they would not achieve the expected results and would also harm the talents they wanted.
So, if they wanted to get the greatest benefit at the least cost, they could choose to sacrifice a small portion of people.
It just so happened that at this time, the medical system had collapsed under the natural disaster. Many illnesses could not be treated at all, and they could only watch themselves step into death. At this time, if the government invited them, they would be very willing to contribute their remaining strength.
This could also be exchanged for a certain guarantee for their families.
If Ji Yang were in this situation, and her grandparents were still alive, she would also be willing.
So that was why Meng Jin disliked her so much. She thought that she was not taking this mission seriously, but this mission was something she had to give her life for, so she felt that her efforts were being trampled on.
Worried that she was being monitored, even though Ji Yang had made up so much in her mind, she still didn’t say anything.
Xie Muzhi was the same, taking care of Liang Yuan very naturally.
At night, Qiao Gui brought dinner over. Liang Yuan was still not awake, but his condition looked much better than before. Qiao Gui was also a little relieved. Liang Yuan’s team was indeed not bad. It was very suitable for helping to transport the supplies they wanted. And the two of them got along very well. He really didn’t want the other party to die.
After Qiao Gui left, Liang Yuan woke up.
Ji Yang even began to suspect that he had been pretending to be asleep all along.
The three of them had a simple meal. Of course, they ate what they had brought. Xie Muzhi took out a pie from his bag. It was not known when it was made. Although it was cold, it was meicai flavored and could be eaten.
After making do with the meal, the dinner from the Juri Base could only be wasted and was buried by Xie Muzhi in a certain place.
Throughout the whole process, the three of them only chatted a few simple sentences, and there was nothing unusual.
It wasn’t until nightfall that the entire base quieted down.
Ji Yang was leaning against the end of the bed, drowsy. Xie Muzhi came over and whispered in her ear, “Get ready. We’ll make a move in half an hour. We’ll go directly to Building 16. The doctor this afternoon revealed that they are all in Building 16.”
Ji Yang immediately woke up.
Finally, it’s time to make a move!
For the next half an hour, the two of them didn’t speak and warmed up on their own. Liang Yuan also got up and got dressed. Half an hour later, at exactly ten o’clock, Ji Yang and Xie Muzhi were the first to go out.
There was someone on guard at the main gate here, but it was too cold at night. They wouldn’t really get up from time to time, but would huddle together to warm themselves with a charcoal basin. When the two of them went over, the two on guard were still chatting and eating sunflower seeds.
Xie Muzhi was just about to get close and kill the other party.
Ji Yang stopped him and took out her crossbow.
This thing was truly silent, but it had to be a one-hit kill.
And she happened to have more than one crossbow.
The two of them each had one. They looked at each other, aimed, and fired!
Without a single pause, the arrowhead directly entered the other party’s neck. The two of them were unable to make a sound and fell to the ground in pain, clutching their pierced necks. They successfully left, and Liang Yuan followed closely behind. But after leaving here, he separated from them.
Xie Muzhi said softly, “He’s in charge of signaling.”
Ji Yang nodded and followed his steps to Building 16. They killed anyone they met along the way. It was quite smooth. Although the security here was strict, the internal management was lax, and it was not an iron bucket. As long as they tried their best not to make a sound, it was generally fine.
The ice and snow had submerged the first floor. If they wanted to go in, they could only enter from the second floor.
This time, they were not so lucky. The two people in charge of guarding were blocking the corridor. The two of them could only quickly flip in. When the other party was caught off guard, one of them held one hostage.
“Where are the researchers being held?”
With a gun pointed at their temples, the two of them were stunned. They were not formidable people in the first place; otherwise, they wouldn’t have been on night watch. They didn’t dare to shout loudly and quickly pointed upstairs. “Twelfth floor! They’re all on the twelfth floor!”
The answer was the same, and the reply was very quick and without hesitation. Ji Yang didn’t dawdle and knocked the other party on the temple with the butt of her gun. The person’s eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
Xie Muzhi also followed suit and then quickly went upstairs.
All the way up to the twelfth floor, they separated and knocked on the doors.
Soon, someone opened the door. “Who is it?”
The moment he opened the door, Ji Yang pointed her gun at his head. Through the dim light, she found that it was the doctor who had treated Liang Yuan in the afternoon. She said sternly, “Where are Teacher Du Yuqing and Teacher Fu Xiangzhi?”
The person’s face first turned pale. When he realized something, he was overjoyed. “You’re here to save Teacher Du? I know, they’re in 1201! But there’s someone with them who has been monitoring them. You have to be careful—”
Before he could finish speaking, a panicked scream erupted from 1201. “Someone’s attacking! Ah—”
Because the charcoal fire for heating required the windows to be open for ventilation, the room was not enclosed. With such a scream, the entire community was almost instantly ignited, and then different noises came from the surrounding several buildings.
But soon, a loud explosion came from the main gate of the base.
“Enemy attack, enemy attack—” someone shouted with a large megaphone.
Xie Muzhi had already killed that person. The two teachers were also being supported by him, one in each hand, and appeared in the corridor. They were both quite old. The male teacher was a little younger. The two of them were also very excited and tried their best to keep up with Xie Muzhi and leave quickly.
At the same time, the main doors of the other residents opened one after another, and they all said excitedly, “Are you from the government? Can you take us with you? We don’t want to stay here either!”
“Please, take me with you. I just came here for a trip. After they found out I was a doctor, I was directly sent here. Please…”
“…”
Realizing that it might be a rescue, the people who had been trapped here for almost a year were all anxious and followed one after another. The entire mission was controlled by Xie Muzhi. Perhaps for the sake of secrecy and to have a way out in case something went wrong, many things were unknown to the others.
Ji Yang subconsciously looked at him, not knowing if so many people could be taken away.
But it would definitely be good if they could be taken away. Staying here was also to serve this group of trash, which was too wasteful.
Xie Muzhi nodded. “If you can keep up, then follow.”
Ji Yang went over to help him share the burden. The two of them each supported one, and the others also quickly followed. Most of them had abandoned their luggage and the like. Escaping was the most important thing.
Halfway there, a bombing sound also came from the back door. The ammunition they had bought in the afternoon was now being fired without any stinginess. Everyone didn’t have time to talk. Some hadn’t even put on their clothes properly, just to keep up with their pace and run over.
But just as they reached the bottom of the building, they were surrounded by a group of people.
Fortunately, Ji Yang and Xie Muzhi had enough bullets. The moment they noticed, they opened fire. Every shot was a headshot, and the other party didn’t even have time to shoot before they fell.
After breaking through this group of people, the front was temporarily safe.
But after running a few steps, another group of people chased from behind.
Seeing this, Xie Muzhi was about to push the person in his hand out and stay behind to cover, but Ji Yang had already done it first. Without a word, she looked at him and then directly rushed towards the people who were coming over.
The next second, two grenades were thrown out.
“Bang, bang!”
The moment the huge explosion sounded, several figures were directly blown away.
Ji Yang continued to move forward, throwing as she walked. The grenades were thrown out as if they were free. The explosions resounded in the surroundings. She seemed to have calculated the range, and it didn’t affect her at all. Instead, it killed many of the enemies who were rushing over.
It scared this group of people so much that they didn’t dare to go forward at all. And with the front and back doors having trouble at the same time, not much firepower was sent this way, which greatly reduced the pressure from the rear.
The crowd behind was stunned. They stared at the figure in the firelight and let out a series of exclamations. “Holy crap?!”
“This girl is so fierce! Which army is she from?!”
“Hiss! So cool!”
Xie Muzhi also stared at the figure, who was easily blocking the people who were chasing them. A strange light flashed in his eyes, and then he said, “Let’s go first!”
“Okay, okay, let’s go, let’s go!” The others didn’t dare to delay any longer and continued to run.
Halfway there, the rescue team came. “This way! The car is here!”
—
After successfully blocking this group of people who were rushing over, Ji Yang didn’t stop. She immediately went in the direction of Building 7. In the afternoon, when Qiao Gui had asked someone to get the cannon, she had noticed that the direction was here.
The entire community was centered around Buildings 6, 7, 8, and 9. Buildings 6 and 9 were in the wrong direction. Building 8 was generally where the high-level members lived, so the ammunition storage location would definitely not be in Building 8. It was not safe to sleep, but it would not be far away.
Sure enough, as she got close to Building 7, she saw a continuous stream of people going in and coming out, all holding various kinds of weapons.
Ji Yang went around to the back, quickly changed into a set of old down jackets similar to the ones worn by the survivors here, and easily mixed into the panicked crowd, queuing up to receive ammunition. The speed was very fast. Someone was constantly shouting, “Charge! One enemy head for ten jin of grain and one jin of meat!”
“For grain!”
“Quick, give it to me. I want explosives! I want to exchange for grain!”
This group of people was also dazed by the immediate benefits, and they all shouted loudly.
Ji Yang quickly squeezed in. “Let me cut in line. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a full meal!”
The person who was cut in line was about to get angry, but when he heard this, he hesitated for a moment.
This hesitation cost him the opportunity, and Ji Yang stood firmly.
The people in front were still moving forward. Ji Yang followed step by step, observing and planning her next move. It was a bit risky, but… theoretically feasible. Do it!
As she got close to the collection point and confirmed the location of the ammunition storage, she quickly took out a grenade with the pin already pulled and threw it in. “Thump, thump,” two sounds.
The person in charge of distributing the firearms and ammunition didn’t even recognize what it was for a moment. He just subconsciously wanted to pick it up nervously, but before he could touch it, he saw the special shape.
“Holy crap! Are you crazy?!!!”
The person in charge screamed in terror, his eyes wide with fear. He panicked and wanted to run.
But there were many people queuing up behind him. The others didn’t know what was happening at all and were still pushing forward, wanting to get their guns earlier to kill the enemy. Ji Yang threw a few more grenades at the back of the crowd.
The next second, she disappeared.
A huge explosion sounded at the main gate, and one after another, it detonated other explosives. Everyone present was blown to pieces.
Qiao Gui had just gotten up and was about to check the situation when he heard this huge noise. The ground seemed to have been shaken. He looked at Building 7 in a daze and cried out, “Why did Building 7 also explode?!”
Everyone was at a loss and didn’t dare to get close to Building 7 at all.
With such a big explosion, they didn’t know if the things inside had all been blown up?!
The number one and number two of the Juri Base were only now shocked and dazed as they got dressed and escaped. The explosion was right next door. They were afraid that if a building exploded and collapsed, they would be implicated.
When they came out and saw that it was the ammunition depot that had exploded, their vision went black. They slapped Qiao Gui on the head. “What’s going on?! Why did the ammunition depot explode?!!!”
—
Timing it perfectly, Ji Yang, wearing a layer of explosion-proof clothing, appeared in the thick smoke after the explosion.
The smoke was choking. She had put on a gas mask in advance.
Her heart was still pounding.
She had never played like this before, using her space to stand directly in the center of the explosion. It was too exciting. She didn’t dare to stop. With such a large-scale explosion, this group of people would definitely not survive. She rushed in directly, and the people inside the ammunition depot were also scared and running around in a mess. They didn’t even notice an outsider like her.
At this time, the base was under enemy attack everywhere. The weapons that had been confiscated in the past were only now being released, so the main door of the ammunition depot was wide open.
As soon as Ji Yang entered, she was shocked by the extravagance.
It turned out that what they had sold them was just a drop in the ocean. There were many shelves in these warehouses, and they were all filled with various explosive packs, grenades, rocket launchers, bullets, and ammunition… each room had different things.
Just the ammunition, a rough glance showed that there were hundreds of boxes.
There were also two warehouses that were probably for good stuff. The main doors were tightly closed and had not been opened at all. Ji Yang tried to pry them, but couldn’t, so she could only give up.
Without time to look carefully, she stored everything she liked in her space. In fact, she liked everything, but she had to leave a portion. She left two boxes of explosives in each warehouse, and finally poured gasoline on them, making sure that enough gasoline flowed into the two unopened doors, as well as all the warehouses.
After confirming that there were no mistakes, she ran out. She ran out of the range of the gasoline and quickly threw down a burning matchstick.
With a “whoosh,” the edge of the gasoline instantly caught fire.
She quickly ran out.
When the first wave of explosions came, Ji Yang had just reached the main gate. She quickly dived to the side and into a pile of corpses, and in the blink of an eye, she entered her space.
“Boom, boom, boom—” an explosion almost a hundred times more powerful than the previous one sounded again. The people who had wanted to get close to Building 7 because the previous explosion had stopped were now running far away again, for fear of being left behind if they were a step slower.
The people of the Juri Base watched this scene in despair.
Their ears were deafened.
Which god was it that could actually survive and blow up the ammunition depot twice?!
The few high-level members of the Juri Base also fell into complete silence.
All the powerful weapons they had worked so hard to get were now all gone!!!
All gone!
“I… I’m going to kill them!!!” one of them said with extreme anger. His voice was a little awkward. The others came to their senses and didn’t dare to say anything. A few of them pursed their lips tightly to hold back their laughter.
The next second, the person spat out a mouthful of old blood and fell straight back.
He… he died of anger?!
