Chapter 1408: Detonate Two Arsenals

Si Kongchen was watchful. He couldn’t sense Lin Qiao when there was a distance between her and himself, but once she came closer, he would definitely detect her. Therefore, it might not be easy for her to directly bring him into her space and kill him.

She had to find a way to distract or agitate him.

Lin Qiao watched Si Kongchen finish the cigarette and then head back toward his office. She followed behind him, keeping a distance from him. She didn’t follow him all the way into the office, because the office was only about a hundred square meters. He might detect her if she went in.

She couldn’t release her power into the office either, as all level-eight beings were highly sensitive to superpower energies and vibes and could detect even a slight amount of energy. That was why Si Kongchen was able to sense Lin Qiao’s presence when the latter was invisible.

To distract him, Lin Qiao had to agitate him. How was she supposed to do that though? Since she couldn’t touch him or show her face, she decided to carry out some destruction in his base.

Lin Qiao thought for a moment and then turned and left. She walked to the end of the hallway and then jumped out of the window, heading toward one military training ground of Huaxia Base.

The inner sector of Huaxia Base covered an area tens of miles squared. However, not many people lived there; most of the area was used for military or scientific purposes. Apart from the few different typed military training grounds in the inner sector, some other training grounds existed in the outer sector, which covered about two-hundred square miles.

Lin Qiao headed toward a military training ground in the inner sector. After arriving at the training ground, she caught a level-three soldier and forced him to give her the locations of the arsenals and the artillery troop before killing him. Next, she visited the artillery troop and found the arsenals. Many soldiers were in that area, but no one discovered her presence.

About an hour later, Lin Qiao showed up on top of a utility pole hundreds of meters from the military camp. Looking at the camp, she pressed a button on the remote control held in her hand.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of explosions was suddenly heard, and the earth started quaking.

Si Kongchen and the other few men, who were sitting in the Chief’s office in the administration building in the inner sector, raised their heads to look outside the window simultaneously.

“What’s going on?” Si Kongchen furrowed her brows, looking outside the window.

Wei Haichao put down the files and stood up, walking to the window. Standing before the window, he looked around and said, “This is loud. Did the arsenals explode?”

The explosions hadn’t stopped yet, and the sounds seemed to be from exactly where the arsenals were located.

Wei Haichao spent a short while looking outside. Then, he abruptly turned back and said to Si Kongchen, “It’s from the military area in the inner sector!”

As he was speaking, Si Kongchen stood up and walked toward the door in big steps, obviously in haste. By the time Wei Haichao came out of the office, he was already gone. He could sense that the latter had already arrived in the military area.

Wei Haichao quickly headed to the military area. When he saw Si Kongchen again, the latter was already wearing a very sullen look with a dangerous light shining out of his eyes. The former couldn’t help but bury his forehead in his hands after he learned what was happening.

Not far away, the explosion was still continuing, as though a mining cluster had been detonated.

Si Kongchen and Wei Haichao could do nothing more than watch, because what was exploding was an arsenal of that military area, where all the bombs were kept!

The soldiers were desperately running for life. While running, they were also trying their best to bring away all objects that might detonate.

They made efforts to reduce the losses as much as possible.

Wei Haichao turned to glance at Si Kongchen with a frown. As he thought, the man was black as thunder at the moment. A fire of rage had almost burst out of his eyes.

“What the hell is going on here? Tell me!” said Si Kongchen through clenched teeth. He was pointing the finger at the man who was in charge of that military area. The man came over as soon as he sensed Si Kongchen’s presence.

“Chief! We don’t know what happened! It-it just, blew up!” The level-six commander said to Si Kongchen in a fluster.

Si Kongchen glared at him with cold eyes, without saying anything. Under his gaze, the commander shrank his neck, not even daring to look at him.

“Go and find out about the cause! Also, can you stop the explosion?” Wei Haichao asked the man with a frown.

The commander shook his head, saying, “We’ve removed all ammunition near the explosion range, but we can’t stop the current explosions…”

They had to wait for the explosion to stop. The arsenal was blown open and all the ammunition kept inside was exposed. The explosion wouldn’t stop until all those were detonated. Therefore, all they could do at the moment was just watch the explosions continue.

“We’ve already started searching. However, the buildings near the arsenal have all collapsed, including the monitor room. So, we might not be able to find out the cause within a short time,” the commander said with a trembling voice while wiping the cold sweat on his forehead.

“How come that sounds a little familiar to me?” said Si Kongchen with a frosty voice.

On hearing that, Wei Haichao blinked and turned to him, “Are you talking about… No way! Her again?”

As the two of them were making a guess, another series of explosions were heard from the outer sector. Si Kongchen and Wei Haichao immediately turned to that direction and listened to the sounds carefully. It was another military area!

‘She’s gonna regret this!‘ Si Kongchen thought while knitting his brows. Within a blink, he disappeared from where he was.

Before following him away, Wei Haichao turned to the commander, who was standing on the side with his back hunched, and said, “Keep the situation under control and stop the explosion as soon as possible.”

“Yes, sir!” The commander hurriedly nodded and responded. What else could he do but follow every word his boss said?

The fire of anger in Si Kongchen’s heart was growing stronger and stronger. The first arsenal was still booming while the second arsenal detonated. It was obvious that whoever caused the explosions was trying to create trouble!

Si Kongchen was sure that it was the woman from All Beings Base who did this. His secret underground research base was destroyed in the exact same way. Who else but her could hide so perfectly from his radar?
