Chapter 491: I Want Them Dead
Chapter 491: I Want Them Dead
Jiang Ning and Huo Yishen chased Bai Xue to the place where she was captured and found a piece of pork on the ground.
It’s hiding food again!
After being scolded by Jiang Ning several times, it tried hiding further away to avoid being noticed but ended up being lured and captured.
Who else could it be that still owns a snowmobile these days?
They couldn’t fight them openly, so they ended up using kidnapping.
Heh, as expected of the shameless United Base.
With countless worries on her mind, Jiang Ning stopped rushing outside. First, she wouldn’t catch up; second, there were people at home; and third, she might fall into their scheme.
Looking at the direction where the two disappeared, her heart ached so much that she couldn’t breathe, and her hands clenched into fists.
She wanted to kill them!
Huo Yishen held Jiang Ning’s cold hand. “They kidnapped Bai Xue to target us, so her life isn’t in immediate danger. Let’s head back and plan carefully.”
Meanwhile, Doudou was guarding the three babies while keeping an eye out for the enemy’s schemes.
Seeing her brother and sister-in-law come back, she asked worriedly, “Where’s Bai Xue?”
Not only was Bai Xue missing, but Coke was also gone.
She opened her mouth to ask but noticed their troubled expressions and decided to stay silent.
Jiang Ning sat on the sofa with a dark expression.
She remembered how Ivanov once said the United Base’s headquarters was in an underwater base, primarily comprised of military personnel from Western countries.
Aside from that, they have military ships, aircraft carriers, transport ships, and other things.
An underwater base housing over 3,000 people—it was a fortress, easy to defend, and hard to attack.
To put it bluntly, three people going to deal with a base of 3,000 people with unlimited firepower…
It would be like an egg smashing against a rock.
The last two times they were able to win easily: one was by surprise, and the other by using her space.
This time, they’re using Bai Xue, which undoubtedly forced them to walk into their trap.
“Awoo… awoo… awoo…”
The three babies, hungry and needing their mother, cried for Bai Xue.
Jiang Ning had a headache. Bai Xue was captured, and even Coke might be…
She looked at Huo Yishen and Doudou, then turned her face away, and clenched her fists tightly.
Bai Xue’s life is precious, but whose life is not?
Jiang Ning returned to her room and closed the door behind her.
Suddenly, Coke came back and whimpered anxiously.
It kept jumping on Huo Yishen and biting his trouser leg.
Then it broke into Jiang Ning’s room, “Woof, woof, woof!”
Jiang Ning looked at it, her eyes feeling sore and uncomfortable.
Huo Yishen came in and gently took the panicked dog out.
“If you want to go, I’ll go with you,” he said calmly.
Jiang Ning looked up, her expression serious. “This isn’t a joke. I’m afraid that if we go, we might not make it back this time.”
Huo Yishen understands, “People’s hearts can be cruel. This time it was Bai Xue, next time it will be Coke, after that, maybe Doudou. It’s even more likely to be you or me.”
Even in peaceful times, it’s like this; imagine how much worse it is in the end times, when humanity’s gone.
Bai Xue had just arrived, and an animal’s instincts weren’t something that could be changed overnight.
Besides, the United Base wasn’t really targeting Bai Xue.
One group can destroy another with just a thought, and sometimes, there’s not even any reason for it.
As the saying goes: I destroy you, and it has nothing to do with you.
They both understood that if it were Coke next time, Jiang Ning wouldn’t be able to hold back, and neither would Huo Yishen, if his sister were in danger.
Given this situation, it’s better to take the chance now, rather than wait until it’s gone and regret it later.
They are a family and have long been inseparable.
If they were going to fight, it’s best to do it early and take control.
Jiang Ning made up her mind and said coldly, “I want them dead!”
And with that, they started planning.
Although they have the space as a backup, but it’s really dangerous, and there’ll definitely be times when help can’t be provided.
This time, they decided that Doudou would stay behind at the house; she’s already a grown-up, and even if the two of them get into danger, she would at least have a chance to escape with the dog and the pups.
As for the detailed plan, it will need to be adapted to the circumstances. They should first get a clear understanding of the terrain at the United Base before moving forward.
Doudou wanted to join, but the dog, sensing the tension, barked anxiously in protest.
“Doudou, it’s not convenient to have too many people. We will come back safely.” Jiang Ning assured her.
Whoever falls into their hands will be a bargaining chip to threaten Jiang Ning and Huo Yishen.
Though worried and frustrated that she couldn’t help, Doudou finally agreed. “Brother, Sister-in-law, don’t worry. I’ll protect our house.”
As long as she was here, their home would stand.
“Be sure to keep safety in mind.”
After thinking about it, Jiang Ning was still worried.
She cleared out the unnecessary things in the house, leaving behind several submachine guns and grenades, food, a raft, medical supplies, and the like, then pulled out the escape pod.
The escape pod is made of aerospace materials and has a high level of bulletproofing, Jiang Ning warned. “Doudou, if you encounter danger, don’t be stubborn.”
Doudou nodded seriously. “I understand.”
The two carried submachine guns and walked away step by step on the snow, their footprints disappearing into the distance.
After walking for more than an hour, they arrived at another snow hill.
Huo Yishen climbed up and looked at their home through binoculars and did not find any danger.
The United Base is 20 kilometers away. In such a harsh environment, it takes half a day to walk on two legs, and you have to be in good physical condition.
Concerned about being followed, they avoided resting during the day.
When it got dark, they used a shovel to dig a hole in the snow and hid in it.
They kept warm and ate to replenish their energy.
At this time, the United Base is about five or six kilometers away, and it can already be faintly seen through high-powered binoculars.
They did not see the entrance or exit of the underwater base but saw military ships and transport ships frozen in the ice.
There were many of them, about five or six.
Since it’s made up of seventeen factions, its strength is truly not to be taken lightly.
These steel giants made it nearly impossible to catch them by surprise.
The two squatted in the snow and discussed about possible solutions.
Jiang Ning thought of the red-eyed crocodiles’ combat strength. “Do you think we could lure them over to disrupt the base?”
After all, they had previously relied on a giant squid to deal with a mutant threat.
But the United Base has strong military power. It is impossible to eliminate them with red-eyed crocodiles alone. At best, they could serve as a diversion.
Considering that the crocodiles had killed indiscriminately over their eggs before, it shows just how bloodthirsty and violent the crocodile group is.
Fortunately, Jiang Ning had been cautious from the start, that’s why she was able to collect the crocodile eggs and bodies.
Huo Yishen observed the base through his binoculars. “It’s worth trying.”
The two entered the space.
It wasn’t the best time to act yet.
Jiang Ning smashed and stirred the crocodile eggs.
The crocodile skins could be used for bags, belts, or clothes.
Huo Yishen peeled them first and then put the meat into the grinder.
The smell of blood was very strong, so they did not forget to wear a mask and a coat.
By the time they finished, it was late at night. The two braved the night and moved forward. About 3 kilometers away from the base, they took out the silent cutter and cut a big hole in the ice.
They sprinkled the egg liquid and crocodile minced meat around the ice hole.
The two moved towards the base while scattering minced meat and egg liquid.
With only about one kilometer left to the base, occasional searchlights could be seen scanning every now and then.
The two hid in the snow, avoiding the patrol lights and observing secretly.
The lights came from two military ships, which were equipped with several turrets and guarded by heavy machine guns.
After looking carefully several times, Jiang Ning did not find the entrance to the underwater base.
There are probably just guards on the military ships, with most of the members living in the underwater base.
There is running water flowing on the seabed, which is much warmer than glaciers. As long as the circulation problem is solved, it would be fine.
Huo Yishen studies the area. “The base entrance could be at the back, blocked by the military ships.”
So the two continued to move forward, intending to go around to the back.
As they moved quietly, they suddenly heard faint rustling sounds behind them.
Turning their heads, they saw a tiny red dot flashing.
Friendly allies have arrived!
