CHAPTER 160: 116. CHEN CHE’S SCHEMING

The time rewinds to just over an hour ago.

The water station.

Xia Na felt a sense of unease in her heart, pacing anxiously back and forth in the office. Seeing Chen Che lying there, she felt a surge of anger.

But there was no way around it, she didn’t know what was in this guy’s gourd.

Until... Chen Che’s communicator sounded again. This time, Chen Che put it on speaker; he felt if he didn’t reveal some information to Xia Na, she might really lose it and chop him down.

"The security team has moved. They’ve entered the sewers. You can make your move now too."

Xia Na suddenly looked up, staring at Chen Che in confusion; the voice from the communicator was incredibly familiar.

It was Li Jifu.

One of the three captains under An Nishang, what’s going on?

Why was Li Jifu contacting Chen Che? Didn’t Chen Che just have a big fight with the three captains and parted ways?

Even Xia Na could sense the tension between them.

A hint of bewilderment flashed in Xia Na’s eyes.

After hearing Li Jifu’s words, Chen Che nodded and replied, "Got it, keep a close watch. Wait until the water is over on your side, the timing will be about right."

Chen Che gave Bobby a glance, and Bobby immediately left the office. A moment later, Xia Na heard a violent mechanical roar.

The turbine at the entire water station was operating at full speed.

Xia Na went to the window, seeing the machine constantly emitting thick smoke. Her brows furrowed tighter, biting her silver teeth, she quickly walked over to Chen Che. Grabbing Chen Che’s neck, she shook him up and down and said, "Ahh! What exactly are you doing? Don’t hide it from me! If you mess with me again, we’ll both go down together!"

Chen Che felt like his brain was being shaken into mush, and hastily stopped Xia Na, rubbing his neck and coughing twice, he said, "What’s your hurry?"

Chen Che smiled and started from the beginning, "Your guess was indeed correct, Zhang Quan knew more than Luo Fei. I pried open Zhang Quan’s mouth and learned a lot of intelligence from him that Luo Fei had no clue about.

Zhang Quan could almost be considered the most senior in the entire Ninth Special Zone Apocalypse Society branch; he had been there almost since the Ninth Special Zone was founded.

So he knew secrets that most people had no idea of, and he told them all to me."

The moment Zhang Quan was captured, Chen Che stuffed Craving-Relieving Pancakes into Zhang Quan’s mouth, instantly causing Zhang Quan’s fanatic loyalty to the Apocalypse Society to plummet.

Additionally, Chen Che broke one of his legs, and under the pain and the threat of death, Zhang Quan spilled everything he knew as if pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

After obtaining the intelligence, Chen Che began to lay out his plan.

"Zhang Quan told me that the Apocalypse Society is not just a simple cult; there are many biological weapons hidden in the sewers within the Apocalypse Society, called Guardians, and these Guardians are no less powerful than the various Catastrophe Strongmen.

If we attack recklessly, it will cause heavy casualties.

Moreover, he told me one crucial piece of information: the entire area surrounding the sewers is filled with explosives.

Once the sewers are lost, these lunatics in the Apocalypse Society wouldn’t hesitate to detonate the explosives, burying tens of thousands in the slums above at the same time!

Such a chain reaction would stir up a frenzy in the entire Ninth Special Zone; with such a high casualty rate, it would undoubtedly cause panic among the residents of other districts. At that time, even the Ninth Special Administrative Region Government would take a long time just to quell the panic, which the Apocalypse Society could take advantage of to escape."

"Think about it, if the Special Operations Department recklessly acted and caused such an outcome, the entire department would completely incite backlash, and the leader would have no hope for the director position."

Xia Na paused for a moment, biting her lip, suddenly realizing how laughable her earlier rashness was.

She exhaled and asked again, "Then why are you here?"

"From Zhang Quan’s mouth, I learned that even the Apocalypse Society couldn’t get a hold of tightly controlled C4 explosives, such high-explosive materials."

High-explosive materials like C4 explosives are strictly regulated by the entire Ninth Special Zone Government. If you’re caught smuggling such banned items, it would certainly be handled severely.

Smuggling ordinary military arms wouldn’t trigger much intervention from the government.

Since it’s impossible to prohibit entirely.

But if you dare to smuggle C4 explosives, which can cause large-scale destructive power, it would definitely be controlled by the Ninth Special Zone!

"Thus, the explosives buried in the sewers are all locally-made; even the ignition requires manual insertion of the fuse by followers.

Otherwise, the explosives could easily become damp and fail to ignite.

And here at one pipeline, it is connected to one of the main sewer pipelines of the entire Ninth Special Zone.

This pipeline has a gate, and once opened, because of the different levels, water from the nearby East River would rush into the sewer pipeline with great force, further enhanced by the pressure from the turbocharger, the water would gush into the sewers like a high-pressure hose.

Just one hour, and the river’s water would flood the entire C21 District’s underground sewer that connects with this main pipeline!

Under such circumstances, their locally-made explosives wouldn’t even ignite."

Upon saying this, Chen Che paused before continuing, "Then those tens of thousands of people wouldn’t have to die."

It was indeed an idea that seemed far-fetched, but it was highly feasible.

After obtaining the intelligence from Zhang Quan, the entire C21 District was already close to being sealed off by the security team.
