Chapter 66: Explosion

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Night fell.

Ye Xingchen sat in front of the French window on the top floor and looked out of the window after dinner and a shower.

The vast expanse of whiteness was covered by a patch of gray.

It had been snowing for more than 20 consecutive days. Even the official news had begun to collapse. No experts came out to speculate when the snow would stop.

The world seemed to have suddenly come to a halt, and they could only rely on weak signals to connect to the outside world.

Suddenly, Ye Xingchen seemed to see something arching in the snow in the distance.

He thought that he was just staring at the snow for a long time and was a little snowblind. He rubbed his eyes and stood up, went back to his room, and lay on the bed.

It was already very late. The time on the phone screen showed that it was already past eleven o’clock and almost twelve o’clock.

The arch that Ye Xingchen had seen earlier had now become a deep pit. More than a dozen people wrapped in airtight work clothes crawled out from it. Each of them had a large shovel and even steel bars and axes.

“Let’s go. It’s just in front.”

Through their masks, they exchanged glances and continued digging in the snow.

After all, they were smart. If they suddenly walked in the snow, they would definitely be discovered by the other owners of the neighborhood.

Their goal tonight was very clear. They went straight to Ye Xingchen’s residence.

The snow was dug out, and a long passage led directly to the door of Ye Xingchen’s house on the first floor.

“Go up!” The leader waved his hand, and the group of people stepped on the soft snow on the ground in an orderly manner until it was solid.

“Fatty Wang, come over and open the door!” The leader waved his hand and called out in a low voice.

A fat man carrying a bag walked over from the crowd.

He stepped on the snow and squatted down. He put his backpack in front of him and spat twice on his hands through the mask.

“Move back a little. Watch!”

He unzipped his backpack and quickly took out all kinds of tools, black, yellow, square, round, and so on.

Ten minutes later, he stood up and ran behind him. The others quickly followed him.

“Rumble!”

An earth-shattering explosion resounded throughout the entire neighborhood.

Everyone was awakened from their dreams by the explosion, including Ye Xingchen and Lin Sijia.

The explosion was at the door of his house on the second floor. He even felt his bed shake.

He frowned as his ears buzzed.

Turning around, Ye Xingchen wrapped his sleeping robe tightly and took out the pistol in his space. He then pulled up the surveillance camera in the room.

The sixth floor to the first floor were safe and sound. There did not seem to be any signs of someone breaking in.

Looking at the surveillance camera on Lin Sijia’s side, he saw Lin Sijia get up from the bed in a panic and then hurriedly crawl under the table with her hands over her head.

Ye Xingchen heaved a sigh of relief as they were fine in the house.

Then, he began to check the surveillance cameras outside the house.

The snow in front of his house was blown away by the explosion.

Ye Xingchen narrowed his eyes and saw a dozen sneaky figures in the distance.

Ye Xingchen noticed that they were all holding iron shovels and steel bars. There were even many axes.

After the explosion, the dozen or so people hurriedly ran over to Ye Xingchen’s house.

They were clearly here for Ye Xingchen!

Ye Xingchen’s eyes were filled with anger, but he was also a little puzzled. He had never heard of any house in his neighborhood being renovated. There had never been any before, and it was even more so after the apocalypse. Then where did the steel bars in their hands come from?

Unless…

They were not from this neighborhood.

Ye Xingchen held the pistol tightly in his hand. The men were covered tightly, and their faces could not be seen through their masks and helmets.

However, Ye Xingchen suddenly confirmed that they were from the outside. 𝒷ℯ𝓭𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓮𝓵.𝒸ℴ𝓶

After all, the people in his neighborhood should have taken a lot of food from Zhang Yi’s house. When everyone had food, no one should disturb him. Moreover, when they came to smash the door earlier, they did not use such advanced methods.

Ye Xingchen’s eyes instantly turned cold. It seemed that someone in the neighborhood had already spread the news about his situation.

Outside the door, Fatty Wang and the others were wearing insulated gloves and pressing on the door. When they saw that the door was unharmed after such a powerful bomb, they were all stunned.

“Uh… Fatty Wang, your bomb isn’t working. Why can’t you blow up a lousy metal door?”

Fatty Wang scratched his head. “That’s impossible. My bomb can even blow up a mountain cave. What’s going on?”

“Is it damp? Why do I only hear it but it doesn’t work?”

The surrounding snow was falling downwards. They stomped their feet to step on the snow and dug into Fatty Wang’s backpack.

Fatty Wang was an expert in blasting in the construction team. Usually, when there were unfinished buildings to be demolished or places to be demolished, they would use the amateur bombs made by Fatty Wang to save money.

Logically speaking, an ordinary steel door would have been blown open long ago. Even an ordinary wall would have started to crack under such a close-range explosion. However, there was not a single crack in Ye Xingchen’s house.

“What kind of structure is this house? Why can’t it be blown up? Fatty Wang, do you have any more materials?”

Ye Xingchen pulled up the surveillance cameras from the front and back of the house and ran to the central control room to take a look. After confirming that his house was not damaged, he reluctantly heaved a sigh of relief.

He walked out of the central control room with a gloomy face and took the elevator to the third floor.

Standing on top of the group of people, Ye Xingchen put on his coat and took out several self-made enhanced Molotov cocktails from his space.

Are you here to snatch things? Ha, very good, then go to hell!

The people below were still knocking on the wall. The big shovel hit the wall with a clack. Fatty Wang was squatting below Ye Xingchen, concentrating on making the second bomb.

The firing holes opened and closed, and three burning Molotov cocktails fell from above their heads.

The flames instantly ignited, and the gasoline in the bottle drenched Fatty Wang, who was squatting below.

“All! Ah! Help! I’m on fire!”

Fatty Wang was so scared that he ran back with his backpack, subconsciously wanting to use the snow behind him to extinguish the fire.

One after another, Ye Xingchen threw a total of ten Molotov cocktails at them before he clapped his hands and closed the shooting hole.

Fatty Wang grabbed his backpack and ran towards his coworkers. With the help of gasoline and open fire, before he could run over, he heard an even louder explosion outside the house.

Ye Xingchen returned to the house and took off his coat to cover his ears. A loud explosion was followed by screams, and the flames outside instantly soared into the sky as if it were daytime..
