Chapter 500: The Third Who Doesn’t Want to Be the Boss is Not a Good Third
Chapter 500: The Third Who Doesn’t Want to Be the Boss is Not a Good Third
“Why?” The third-in-command, abandoning his previous naive and clumsy image, stared with a cold, ruthless gaze. “A third who doesn’t want to be the boss is not a good third.”
The second-in-command had relied on him for decades, even depending on him to protect the country. Without the first-in-command, how could he have any military strength?
He couldn’t find a chance to take action, but who knew that a fierce enemy broke in, and the top leader killed the fourth and fifth-in-command.
If he didn’t act now, he’d be the next to die.
Abilities?
He wouldn’t be stupid enough to open his brain.
No matter how powerful the ability was, as long as he destroyed it, the Arctic would belong to him.
The second-in-command collapsed to the ground, staring fiercely at him.
So, he had been using him all along!
The third-in-command disliked the look in his eyes. He crouched down and smiled, “You have nothing, why should you be the top leader?”
The people he secretly bribed were actually all arranged by himself.
The third-in-command doesn’t want to waste his words anymore. He shot him and sent him to the afterlife.
Blood splashed onto his face. He wiped it off, tasted it, and showed a cruel grin. Then, he looked over at the severely injured and unconscious Jiang Ning.
If she’s killed, everything will be over.
It’s true that many people died in the base, but none of them were his men. Their deaths made things even better!
With weapons in hand, starting over would be incredibly easy.
He stood up slowly and wanted to kill Jiang Ning.
Unexpectedly, the white wolf lying in a pool of blood suddenly jumped up.
Not only was her movement quick, but she was also lightning-fast, biting down on his throat with precision and force.
“Ah…”
The soldiers rushed over, but no one dared to shoot recklessly. What if they accidentally shot their boss?
It all happened so suddenly, no one had been paying attention to the white wolf. Who knew it had been faking its death?
Wolves are the most cunning.
“Bang!”
A gunshot rang out, hitting the third-in-command in the head.
The soldiers turned their guns around, but then Huo Yishen, who they thought was already dead, suddenly jumped up.
Just as they were about to shoot, a pile of snow fell from the sky and buried them in an instant.
Then, several shipping containers landed on top of the snow.
Jiang Ning cut the rope and stood up.
She didn’t speak, endured the pain, and ran toward Huo Yishen. She then pulled both him and the wolf into her space.
Within the space, the two, covered in pig’s blood, held each other tightly, too nervous to even breathe.
“Are you okay?”
“Are you okay?”
Both of them spoke at the same time, feeling nervous and uneasy.
This gamble had been huge—one misstep and they would have lost their lives.
Winning this was largely down to luck.
Just thinking about it makes her heart race with fear.
Jiang Ning knew that surveillance was everywhere, and that there were eyes watching from behind.
The exposure of the space was both a danger and an opportunity.
Human nature is greedy, particularly for those in power. They are well aware of their own ambitions and the ambitions of others.
So, Jiang Ning continuously lured them with the space.
At the same time, she reveals the aftereffects of using the space, making these people think there are chances to take advantage.
Finally, she sowed discord.
Power is complicated, especially in a base—there’s all sorts of people around. With so much temptation and power falling apart, anyone with enough ambition and courage would likely not miss this opportunity.
That’s why Jiang Ning dared to take the risk.
Having survived, her body still shuddered with fear.
The two hugged each other tightly, their bodies shaking uncontrollably.
She doesn’t want to have this kind of experience again.
As they were lost in each other’s presence, the white wolf lying on the ground suddenly howled.
Jiang Ning came to her senses and squatted down to check its wounds.
The bullet hit the wolf’s thigh. It was not life-threatening, but it had lost too much blood.
The situation was too complicated, and Jiang Ning didn’t have the time or energy to scold the white wolf. She quickly stopped the bleeding, stitched up the wound, and fed it some pork.
She and Huo Yishen took off their bloodstained clothes.
Both were badly injured, with bruises and swelling all over, but luckily, there were no life-threatening wounds.
They quickly changed their equipment and ate something to restore energy.
The situation outside could change at any time, so they didn’t stay in the space for long. After fully equipping themselves, they quickly came out.
There were still gunshots outside the base, but the third floor was quiet.
Jiang Ning put the snow, containers, and buried soldiers into the space.
Under the weight of several containers, there were no survivors this time.
Not only did she take the pile of snow, but the first, second, and third-in-command were also taken in.
She wasn’t sure if there were still enemies hiding in the shadows, and the Russian could charge in at any moment.
Jiang Ning did not stay for long and immediately began looking for the surveillance room.
Bai Xue limped beside them, keeping a close watch while staying alert.
It did not take long to find the surveillance room.
Unexpectedly, there were two bodies in the surveillance room. Judging from their clothes, they were of high status.
Time was tight, so Jiang Ning didn’t destroy the equipment. Instead, she took everything and stored it in the space.
The footage that was recorded will be destroyed slowly when they return.
Not only did she take the equipment, but she also dismantled the power equipment.
Coming out of the surveillance room, the noise above was getting louder and louder. It should be the Russian coming in.
If they went out now, they would likely run into them.
The two, along with the wolf, were close to collapsing and weren’t in any condition to face the battle-hardened Russians head-on.
Besides, they had fought hard to secure this place. There was no way they would let others take advantage of their efforts.
Jiang Ning remembered that there was an armory on this floor.
So they didn’t stop and kept searching.
Only the Five Eyes Alliance lived on the third floor, and both the living room and the entertainment hall were very large.
After a quick investigation, they soon found the armory and supply warehouse next to each other.
These two warehouses were not easy to open, and there were no keys at all.
Jiang Ning focused on the smart lock and had no choice but to bring out the leader’s body.
“Search!”
Huo Yishen searched the body thoroughly and finally found a metal chip on the necklace around his neck. He then placed it on the smart sensor.
There was a beep, but the door still didn’t open.
Huo Yishen dragged the body up and tried using all ten of his fingers on the lock.
Jiang Ning thought that if it still didn’t work, they’d have to dig out his eyeballs.
Fortunately, the door opened.
Jiang Ning wasn’t lacking in supplies, so she opened the armory first.
Two tanks, three snowmobiles, ten boxes of military exoskeleton suits, twenty boxes of submachine guns, pistols, flamethrowers, all kinds of bullets, grenades, bombs, armor-piercing rounds, and shoulder launchers…
And half a warehouse of fuel.
In addition to the weapons, there were countless military uniforms, boots, gloves, binoculars, and various military fabrics, tents, and more.
There were so many, easily several hundred tons worth.
Before the natural disaster, these supplies were nothing to the Americans.
But to the world after the disaster, even facing a national base, these supplies were not to be underestimated.
Jiang Ning’s heart was pounding, and her adrenaline was surging!
All of this was now hers!
