CHAPTER 902: CHAPTER 991: DAMN, WE’RE GONNA HIT THE JACKPOT THIS TIME
"This woman said if you dared to push her into the snake hole, she would turn into a devil and bite you to death, tear you to pieces, and place your remains on the gallows in the square for other men to abuse at will."
The Snake Scorpion Woman was furious and gave Nannan two more slaps, "Still dare to threaten me, clueless creature, watch me kill this bitch." She said as she dragged her away.
Clang!
The iron door closed again.
The world returned to silence.
Jing Shu comfortably lay back down, then snapped her fingers.
Countless insects appeared densely, starting to crazily erode the corner with strong sulfuric acid. Once a small hole was corroded out, there was a sound, and an Earth Borer dug out a dog hole in the steel-reinforced concrete of the bunker.
Jing Shu experimented a little to make sure she could escape through the dog hole, and then she left some insect guards and some ’little troubles’ outside the iron door.
She took off the heavy gown, revealing the black bodysuit underneath.
Then she crawled into the dog hole, followed the tunnel dug by the Earth Borer, and crawled forward until she reached a thirty-square-meter cellar dug by the Earth Borer, and stopped.
"Sister Jing is here!"
Guo Tou scratched his head, stopped his work of drawing tunnel maps, and excitedly asked, "What are we doing now? Xiao Wei and the other group of Earth Borers have already dug a tunnel in the suburbs waiting for us. Currently, we’ve only dispatched over fifty Earth Borers to dig overnight. This is the tunnel that has been dug."
He then handed over a simple map.
Jing Shu looked at it. Due to the tight schedule, only one route had been dug; by tomorrow, at least three routes should be done, which would make escape or transporting goods much more convenient.
This thirty-square-meter cellar serves as a central hub for transferring goods.
Jing Shu nodded satisfactorily, "Tomorrow, when those kidnappers take me to exchange goods with Old Zhou, although the guards will be stricter, there’ll be fewer Power Users. Unfortunately, Code Seven and other Power Users are going elsewhere, so not many people will be here to assist us.
In short, we’ll follow Wen Jun’s arrangements and act accordingly."
Guo Tou scratched his head. There was too much information for him to remember, but he nodded firmly, "I got it. Anyway, once they leave tomorrow and the old nest is empty, it’ll be time for us to clean them out!"
"Okay, let’s walk and talk. We need to check out the opponent’s Combat Power thoroughly. Guo Tou, remember my words: as long as the mountains remain, there’s no fear of running out of firewood. Your lives are more precious than these lousy goods." Jing Shu sternly explained.
Guo Tou scratched his head.
Jing Shu added, "Think about it, if you die, what would happen to Xiao Wei? She’ll be bullied."
Guo Tou immediately sprang into action, "Don’t worry, I’ll definitely stay alive."
"Mm."
The cellar is some ten meters underground, waiting for Jing Shu to lead Guo Tou in exploring the site.
Guo Tou trembled as he pointed out a snake already discovered hiding in the corner.
Jing Shu merely smiled; the snake dared not move because an even larger snake was behind it.
Overall, this ’Military Base’ is vast and empty, and at this time, with the dark night and high moon, using the rows of villa areas as cover, Jing Shu has countless insects serving as her eyes, perfectly evading all guard and sentry points.
"The guards are quite strict, with two people stationed at the front of each villa, who are ordinary people with little Combat Power, wearing alarm devices only for early warning."
"Every hundred meters, there’s a tall armed watchtower and machine gun mount, and all are guarded, but because it’s dark and there’s no power here, the people inside are only responsible for mounting the guns, not for security or patrol."
Guo Tou asked puzzledly, "Sister Jing, how do you know it’s so dark, aren’t they asleep inside?"
"Not asleep, some are playing on their phones, some are playing cards; I guess there hasn’t been a single incident here for many years, so no one is genuinely guarding."
Guo Tou’s eyes lit up, "Then isn’t this place easy to take over?"
Jing Shu shook her head, "What really supports their confidence is probably some Power User. I saw several Power Users today, but there was particularly one black-robed figure with a very strong aura. If he stays here tomorrow, it’ll be troublesome."
Jing Shu waited in place for a while until all the dispatched insects returned before squinting, taking out the hand-drawn map, and saying, "Guo Tou, tell the Earth Borers not to bother with these villas’ basements, they’re all empty."
Guo Tou responded with a grunt, then angrily said, "Those bastards are so sly, no goods, yet they have a couple of guards at the villa entrance and use barriers?"
"Maybe it’s just a smoke bomb. Let’s go in and see what good stuff they have."
This Military Base is redesigned from a residential area, except for special marks at the villa entrances, it’s no different from an ordinary villa community.
Jing Shu arrived at a villa where the Earth Borers had already dug beneath, checking the process first.
To avoid triggering any alarms, the Earth Borers directly tunneled straight up from the center of the villa’s basement, creating a hole a meter in diameter. Jing Shu first sent insects and snakes ahead, only bringing Guo Tou up once she confirmed it was safe and electronic-free.
"Cough, cough!" Guo Tou quietly coughed, smelling the pungent odor—it was...
"Gunpowder."
Jing Shu whispered, casually opening a nearby box already turned into a full warehouse room, bowing down to examine closely, "It’s crude gunpowder, a worthless kind."
Guo Tou glanced and scoffed, "What era is this, and they’re still using this almost obsolete stuff. Isn’t the United States rich? Why are they using this?"
Jing Shu checked the entire villa back and forth, finding it entirely filled with crude gunpowder.
Guo Tou sighed, "Although a house full of gunpowder might be worth something, transporting it back to Huaxia wouldn’t even cover the travel costs."
Jing Shu snorted, "You’ve forgotten; we can trade this stuff to brother countries. They’re short on it right now, then exchange for more oil."
Guo Tou’s eyes lit up, "Right, that works too."
"Let’s go, check other places, can’t be all this worthless stuff, right?"
Guo Tou murmured in agreement, marking the place, and then followed Jing Shu to the subsequent villa. The first few villas also contained this worthless gunpowder; who knows where they got so much of it as if they plan to blow up the earth?
However, upon encountering a special villa that the Earth Borers couldn’t dig through, Jing Shu instantly knew that the contents inside were special.
Using her insects’ strong sulfuric acid and Earth Borers’ digging, when Jing Shu and Guo Tou entered, Guo Tou gasped and said, "Wow! We’ve hit the jackpot, Sister Jing!!"
