Chapter 152: Repelling
He Ying and Qian Fei had been crouching by the window, looking down for quite a while. As soon as they saw Chen Mu and the others coming up, they quickly made way for them.
Chen Mu looked down through the glass window and saw a dancing tongue of fire, vigorously shooting upward. Because the stone ball was pressed against the door crack, the flames were licking the outer side of the door, indicating that it wouldn't be long before the door caught fire.
Although the flames were high, the illuminated area was not large. Chen Mu couldn't see any trace of humans at all.
It was evident that the people from Yizhong [a place or organization] were scattered in various positions, but they wouldn't go far. They were probably guarding nearby, waiting to catch them all in one fell swoop once they escaped.
"What should we do?" He Ying asked.
"Squad leader, could you please make as many light bulbs as possible as quickly as you can."
Dong Junwei didn't ask much and agreed before picking up a box of plastic balls brought by Wei Dalei and starting to work.
Chen Mu had prepared these plastic balls in his spare time, thinking that they could be used as a light source when needed.
As for the hand grenades, they were all ready-made.
After constructing the elevator, Chen Mu had brought up a box of grenades in case of future needs, and Wei Dalei had just brought up another box, making a total of two boxes.
Chen Mu had made these wooden boxes for storing hand grenades himself. He used cotton thread inside to separate them and prevent damage during transportation. One box could hold 50 grenades.
During Dong Junwei's usual training, she made the most hand grenades. On one hand, hand grenades were the most useful, and on the other hand, they were the only things that could be stored for a long time.
Now, in the Qiming's ammunition depot, there were a total of 300 hand grenades.
All these hand grenades had been taken out, with 100 of them brought up to the observatory, while the rest were left on the ground for Tang Jing to command, in case the enemy suddenly broke through the door crack.
While Dong Junwei was busy working, Chen Mu pulled Wei Dalei over.
"Lao Wei, look outside."
"What am I looking at?"
"Just look at whatever you can see, so your eyes can get used to the darkness quickly."
"Oh." Wei Dalei didn't ask further and looked outside together with Chen Mu.
Soon enough, 30 light bulbs were completed.
Making these light bulbs was the easiest and fastest task for Dong Junwei.
"Is this enough?"
"Not enough. Make as many as you can." Chen Mu replied without turning his head.
"Okay."
At the next moment, Chen Mu reached out and pressed his hand against the glass window.
The entire glass melted into an irregular glass block and was thrown aside.
In the beginning, to maximize the field of view, this piece of glass was designed like a floor-to-ceiling window. Now that it has been removed, it's like a door has been opened on the wall, and one could easily fall off with a little carelessness.The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l--B1n.
The outdoor wind rushed in, refreshing the spirits of several people.
Chen Mu reached into his waist and then shot out a metal chain, firmly attaching it to the railing of the observatory, creating a safety rope.
He replicated the process and made a safety rope for Wei Dalei as well.
Especially Wei Dalei, his throwing speed was almost like a machine gun.
Precise strikes were good, but firepower coverage was the truth.
Lao Wei was faithfully executing this truth.
The second batch of light bulbs was completed under Dong Junwei's command, while He Ying and Qian Fei acted as transport officers, diligently passing the ammunition to Chen Mu and Wei Dalei.
Another twenty or so light balls were scattered down.
The area below was already in chaos.
More and more people were affected by the hand grenades, and at the same time, countless crawling figures scattered and fled from the door crack.
Thinking of what Sun Yuan had said, these figures seemed to be some kind of reptiles.
Why were there reptiles?
Weren't the people from Yizhong afraid?
Or perhaps, did they bring these reptiles here?
At this thought, Chen Mu's mood became heavy once again.
He had heard from He Ying that there were people with the ability to control insects, and Du Jiajia's ability was somewhat similar.
So, it wasn't surprising that Yizhong had such ability users.
But...
During the battle with Qingbei, they hadn't seen Yizhong deploy such ability users. Why did they attach so much importance to Qiming?
Chen Mu pushed these thoughts aside. There was no use thinking too much at this moment.
Fortunately, those reptiles were frightened by the hand grenades. The steel balls hit the stainless-steel pillars beneath the door seal, making sharp noises and bouncing back, hitting many of the reptiles.
"Did they run away?"
Wei Dalei held two hand grenades, carefully searching for any moving objects below. But in just a couple of minutes, the area below had become lifeless.
"Seems like it."
"No fun." Wei Dalei pouted.
"Let's go down."
There was no sense of victory in Chen Mu's heart.
Even if all the enemies had retreated, that fireball was still a big problem. Once it ignited the door, even if they could escape in time, all their efforts from these days would go up in smoke.
