Chapter 817: Huge Explosion
Luo Shangyi sneered. “Is making a report useful? If I make the report, will you guys rush into my house with guns and protect my daughter? Do you believe that the moment I lodge a report, the next thing I see… will be my daughter’s corpse?”
Luo Shangyi’s words sent Chi Yang and Leng Jinpeng lapsing into a long silence.
It was a disgrace to the military base.
As a soldier, he could not even protect his own family, so how could he talk about achieving military deeds and protecting his country?
However, Luo Shangyi laughed. “It doesn’t matter. After that demon set his eyes on our home, I’ve been trying to free myself from it. Today, the demon gave me a mission. As long as I complete the mission, my daughter will be free.”
The minute he was done talking, the whole building erupted in multiple explosions simultaneously, starting on the 76th floor.
“Chi Yang!”
The explosions were too powerful, and they went off at the same time. The huge shockwave caused this connecting bridge to crumble in an instant.
Leng Jinpeng shouted, but before he could rush forward, soldiers from the special forces pounced from behind him, sending him to the ground.
The explosions only lasted for five seconds. Yet, 5 seconds were all it took to make everyone feel like the world was about to be buried.
Chi Yang and Luo Shangyi were both submerged in the explosion. Everyone only heard him shout “Nuannuan” at the instance of the explosion.
After the explosion, everyone was temporarily deafened before getting overwhelmed by a loud ringing in their ears.
After a long time, everyone’s hearing finally returned to normal.
Leng Jinpeng looked at the broken bridge in a daze. He stared lifelessly at the leftover rubble that the initially towering structure collapsed into.
On Zhong Nuannuan’s side, everyone managed to reach the elevator ceiling with Nuannuan and Selina’s help.
The ceiling was initially sealed. However, through her X-ray vision, Zhong Nuannuan managed to find the weak points of the sealed dampers. Then, she hurled her leg out for a violent kick.
It was not a single damper that fell down but a string of dampers.
Everyone, “…!!!”
After that, they followed the same sequence of escape from the elevator—Selina got off first, followed by Old Master Chi, Zhong Nuannuan, and then the group of female guests.
After Nuannuan landed on the ground, she immediately used her X-ray vision on the old master. After confirming that he was in good health, she asked, “Grandpa, are you feeling unwell anywhere?”
Old Master Chi was in high spirits. After all, he was once a soldier in the special forces too. Although he had not partic.i.p.ated in any battles for many years, the same pa.s.sion still boiled in his bones.
In the face of such a dangerous situation, not only did the old master not show any fear, but his eyes were beaming with a subtle glow.
“No, no. Little Girl, ever since you treated my legs, my ancient arms and legs have become more useful. Even though I can’t walk fast, at least I won’t be a burden to all of you.”
“Grandfather, we’re a family. There’s no such thing about being a burden or otherwise. If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me, okay?”
The old master chuckled and answered, “Sure, sure! I’ll let you know for sure!”
The old master could not be more satisfied with Nuannuan.
He admitted that his grandson was ten thousand times better than his son.
That was perhaps why his grandson could live a long life while his son could not make it past his prime.
After everyone descended the elevator, Zhong Nuannuan and Selina led everyone to the 22nd floor.
