The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1859: Demolition

Tianjing’s face was solemn. If a single Mothman were to break into the city crowds, it would be like slicing through vegetables—all that would be left would be dead bodies everywhere, rivers of blood. Not to mention that there were over 120 of them. If they fled in different directions, the entire Hong Kong would instantly turn into a "large slaughterhouse." These Mothmen can’t be harmed by ordinary weapons. By then, it wouldn’t just be Hong Kong in danger; if they escaped into the deep mountains and forests, it would be like fish entering the sea, dragons soaring to the sky. It would be impossible to catch them.

But staying here, with just the two of them, even if they fought with their lives, it would be like trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm.

Ye Shikai’s brain was racing. Was there any way to resolve the current predicament...

"Right, did you find anything in the potion room?" Ye Shikai suddenly asked.

"Don’t mention it. It’s already been cleared out. All the potions have been taken away." Tianjing sighed. Potions are small, lightweight, and one of the most important things. They would definitely choose to evacuate them first. By the time Tianjing got there, it was too late.

"Damn it." Ye Shikai sighed. The most important things were also taken away, but more troubling was what to do with these mutants below.

Rumble.

From below came a faint tremor, and Ye Shikai faintly heard a noisy sound of footsteps. Those monsters should have already destroyed one of the doors and were attacking upward.

"What do we do now?" Tianjing asked back.

"The only way is to blow up this entire underground passage, completely blocking the way up. That’s the only way to stop them." Ye Shikai said firmly. This was a last resort but unavoidable. It’s impossible to stop them with the iron door. Only by blowing up the entire passage can the mutants be trapped underground. As for what happens next and how to deal with it, that’s something for later.

"This seems like the only way, but we came in such a hurry, where did we get explosives? Besides, the construction here is extremely sturdy. To blow it up, it would take a lot of explosives." Tianjing replied.

"Don’t worry. I have explosives here." Ye Shikai took out several powerful explosives from the Storage Ring. These were potent enough to flatten a house with just a tiny bit. With so many explosives, it should be enough to collapse the passage below.

"Come on, let’s go in first." Ye Shikai placed his hands on the wheel of the iron door. It was supposed to require a password to open, but there was no electricity, so Ye Shikai had to use brute force to open it. Tianjing also stepped forward to help. Both of them exerted their Inner Strength to forcibly turn the wheel, slowly opening the iron door.

Bang, bang, bang.

After opening the iron door, the two could clearly hear the pounding from below. Each thud meant the mutants were hitting the iron door hard. According to what was said, there should still be two doors blocking them, but their time was running out.

"Quick, set all these up." Ye Shikai, once a captain of Dragon Teeth, knew a lot about explosives and knew exactly where to place them to completely collapse the area.

"The length here is enough. When detonated later, the shock wave will be very strong. We must press against the iron door." Ye Shikai clapped his hands. At this time, the footsteps grew louder again. He knew these mutants were just one door away.

Bang.

The two stared at the only remaining door. Suddenly, a heavy blow bent the door. Just one hit had deformed the iron door, demonstrating their strength. A few, Ye Shikai could handle, but over a hundred and twenty were hard for anyone to resist.

"They’re about to break through. We need to retreat." Ye Shikai shouted, and the two immediately retreated outside the iron door, exerting force to close it. As the iron door closed, the inner door was precisely being smashed down...

Ye Shikai took out the remote control, while Tianjing twisted the wheel to lock the iron door again.

"I locked it."

"Good." Ye Shikai pressed the remote, and a loud explosion followed. Even though the explosion door was in between, the two could still feel the pressure. These were high-powered explosives, and the amount was enough to pulverize thick reinforced concrete. The iron door indeed seemed a bit "thin" against this.

"It must hold. If this door blows open, Hong Kong is finished." Ye Shikai shouted, concentrating all his Inner Strength on his arms. The iron door began to deform slightly. Although the door was insulated, Ye Shikai still felt his hands burning.

Hold on, hold on.

Ye Shikai silently chanted to himself. The explosion lasted only a moment. Even for a chain of explosions, it ended in mere seconds, but Ye Shikai felt like several hours had passed.

"We... succeeded." Tianjing slowly released his hands. The tremors of the explosion had ceased, but their ears were still ringing slightly. The explosive shockwave was hard to bear even for a cultivator, especially at such close proximity.

Ye Shikai came to his senses and slowly released his hold. The iron door remained tightly shut. After a long time, no "knocking" was heard from within.

"Could all those mutants be dead?" Tianjing asked.

"I doubt it. The explosives just destroyed the passage between the underground space and the laboratory; they can’t get through, that’s all. The explosion earlier should have been damaging, but definitely not enough to kill all the mutants. They’ve likely retreated." Ye Shikai sat on the ground, gasping for air. When holding the door earlier, he’d used all his Inner Strength. It seemed they had succeeded; these monsters were temporarily "suppressed" underground.

"We must not rest easy. Tianjing, you need to report this to Director Jin immediately. Mobilize the most elite personnel to come here. There are over a hundred of them, and right now they’re just temporarily unable to come out, but we must completely eliminate them. We can’t let them stay here, or they will be a ticking time bomb buried in Hong Kong." Ye Shikai’s tone was almost commanding, very firm.

"Of course, I’ll report immediately. But... what should we do now?"

"There must be tunnels in this factory. Quickly have people follow them, and also quickly mobilize personnel to seal this off. More importantly, and crucially, you must keep the mutant issue confidential. This matter is too big."

"Don’t worry, I understand."

Ye Shikai didn’t dare to relax, standing where he was. In truth, blowing up the passage was a last resort. At the time, he also thought of trying to restore power to the control room. If the iron door were electrified, it would block these monsters. But there simply wasn’t enough time, and his Storage Ring didn’t contain a generator. Even if it did, the complex circuitry was beyond his capability to handle.
