The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1863: Exposed

"Damn it," Ye Shikai muttered.

"What’s wrong?"

"The basement structure is somewhat different from what we predicted. The area outside is too large. If we only place explosives in the bathroom, it might be difficult to destroy the entire basement." Ye Shikai was quite skilled in demolition. Although it was just his assumption, it was rather accurate. He trusted his judgment, believing that if they didn’t completely obliterate the area, they truly wouldn’t be able to enter next time.

"Are you sure about this?" Tianjing questioned. They initially had no intention of leaving the bathroom, but if what Ye Shikai said was true, they had to venture outside. Ye Shikai had other bombs with him; just by detonating the explosives in the bathroom, they could achieve a chain explosion. But they had to go out.

"Demolition is a fundamental skill of every Dragon Teeth team member. If we only bomb this bathroom, the explosion won’t be enough to collapse the entire basement." Ye Shikai was certain about this. In reality, the outside area was much larger than they had anticipated, necessitating placing the explosives outside.

"Mr. Ye, where should we place the explosives?" Tianjing asked again.

"Outside are rooms keeping the mutants, one after another, so we must place explosives at the support points to collapse the entire basement." Ye Shikai observed the outside situation through the window.

"Do we need a lot of explosives?" Phoenix asked.

"Not many, just need to place one bomb at each of the four support points. We trigger the one inside the bathroom, and the outside bombs will also explode in sequence. By then, it should be fine." Ye Shikai pointed to the four support points with his fingers.

"But there are so many monsters outside. Once we go out, those monsters will surely react." Jing Xie was worried. If they really alarmed these monsters, given the distance, in less than five seconds, they would pounce in, and relying solely on the four of them and the paper-thin bathroom door, could they really resist?

"Jing Xie, Phoenix, Mr. Ye, you two leave first; I’ll open the door and throw the sticky bombs at these four support points," Tianjing commanded. Once the door was opened, all the monsters would notice. Even if Tianjing could throw the sticky bombs at the four support points within five seconds, he probably wouldn’t have time to escape.

Hence, Tianjing intended to sacrifice himself to ensure the safe escape of the remaining three and the success of the mission.

"No, let me go instead," Jing Xie immediately said.

"Enough, enough, don’t argue; only I can do this here," Ye Shikai suddenly said, taking out the Netherworld King’s Helmet from the Storage Ring.

"I have this; it can make me invisible. Those monsters can’t see me. If it were you, you’d surely die," Ye Shikai said blandly.

"Mr. Ye, you..."

"Alright, enough. You don’t need to worry about me. Not to boast, but your entire team combined isn’t a match for me. At this moment, let me handle it." Seeing Tianjing and the others somewhat reluctant to leave, he repeatedly waved his hand.

"You better hurry up. The shockwave from the explosion won’t be small; climb out as soon as you can, and wait for my return."

"Alright then, Mr. Ye, be careful." If Ye Shikai were left here alone, Tianjing couldn’t bear it. After all, Ye Shikai wasn’t a National Security Bureau member, whereas Tianjing and the others should be ready to sacrifice themselves at any moment. But that’s the reality; if Tianjing stayed here, he would be of no use.

"Hurry up and leave; if you stay, you’ll be discovered by them." Ye Shikai urged.

"Jing Xie, Phoenix, follow my orders and leave immediately."

"Yes."

"Yes."

The two crawled out through the ventilation pipe, followed by Tianjing.

"Mr. Ye, take care."

"Alright, just go."

"Okay."

Ye Shikai donned the Netherworld King’s Helmet and utilized his Inner Strength to render himself invisible. Sometimes, this tool was more useful than the Netherworld Blade and You Xi Sword.

"Just like this, move gently," Ye Shikai murmured to himself, while quietly turning the door handle. Now invisible, he didn’t dare to relax at all, for outside weren’t just 120 people, but more than 120 monsters.

Click.

The doorknob twisted open, and the door slowly opened. Nearby monsters turned their gaze toward him but only saw a patch of air and a few bombs. Seeing this, they looked away again. Ye Shikai exhaled deeply. They saw the bombs but didn’t react, indicating they lacked human intelligence, or they lacked mature thinking and couldn’t assess danger.

Not fearing monsters as deadly weapons yet fearing monsters having brains...

Ye Shikai breathed out a sigh of relief and forcefully tossed a sticky bomb toward one of the support points.

Boom.

The sticky bomb easily adhered, causing quite a commotion. The monsters seemed to notice the anomaly, beginning to move in and staring at the sticky bomb on the support point.

At this moment, Ye Shikai finally understood the meaning of "snatching food from the tiger’s mouth." The closest monster was less than ten meters away from him.

Ye Shikai then threw the remaining three sticky bombs, accurately hitting the remaining support points. Suddenly, one of the monsters looked its way, eyes fixed on Ye Shikai...

Could it be that he was discovered?

This monster wasn’t a Mothman but resembled a large lizard, its skin covered in dense scales, with a tail trailing behind.

Ye Shikai wasn’t sure if he had been exposed, but right now, he felt a strong sense of crisis...

Hisss.

Suddenly, the Lizard Man emitted a sharp screech, and Ye Shikai quickly covered his ears. In an instant, all the monsters turned to him and rushed forward.

"No way, already discovered," Ye Shikai lamented, unclear about what had happened but knowing that if he didn’t leave now, he would surely die.

"Fire Element." Ye Shikai mobilized his Inner Strength and fired a fireball. Worried that he might trigger the explosives, he dared not exert too much force, or the entire basement would become a sea of fire. The flames could only temporarily block them but couldn’t inflict fatal harm.

Chir chir.

A Mothman lunged at him, prompting Ye Shikai to swiftly draw out the Netherworld Blade and You Xi Sword, wielding the sword in his left hand and the blade in his right, aiming at the Mothman’s neck, striking down in one move. Before Ye Shikai could react, other monsters surged forward.

"No choice; must escape quickly." Ye Shikai dove into the ventilation pipe, using both hands and legs to crawl forward rapidly. These large monsters couldn’t fit through, but the pipe entrance was quickly torn apart, forcing Ye Shikai to crawl ahead.
