With the snake's help, she easily found the storage room where the bombs were stored and saw three time bombs in the corner.
Mans wasn't lying. These time bombs were only the size of an adult's head. Although they had been modified by the equipment department to become extremely powerful, they still couldn't break through a 40-meter layer of rock.
But it doesn't matter. Just as a stone can't break open a door, but noise will eventually wake up the owner, Genji's purpose is simply to awaken the gatekeeper inside.
Since they can't break down this sturdy door from the outside, they might as well let the people inside open it on their own.
Anyway, the two masters of Baidi City are either in Japan or asleep, so they probably won't mind such a small disturbance.
After placing the bomb in her backpack, Yuan Zhinü quietly left the encampment. By the river, the boatman, who had received advance notice, was already waiting for her.
"It's so late, you're going out on the water. Be careful, you're a girl all alone!" the boatman nagged.
Yuan Zhinu smiled and nodded, took the oar from her hand, skillfully rowed to the spot in the daytime, took a deep breath, and jumped into the pitch-black river without hesitation.
She closed her eyes, and a moment later, her golden eyes, as bright as glittering gold, suddenly opened underwater. At the same time, the blood in her body began to heat up gradually, and pale scales silently spread all over her body.
This dragon form allows her to move more freely underwater and hold her breath for longer periods. Like a nimble fish, she swims without hesitation into the depths of the water, led by those unseen little snakes.
She easily found the location marked during the day and casually installed and secured the bomb.
The equipment department speculated that the Baidi City, which had been submerged for thousands of years, might be buried several meters underwater, and that it might require bombs to break through the rock and soil layers. Therefore, they prepared this extremely powerful waterproof bomb, which was designed to be very easy to use.
This benefited Yuan Zhinü.
……
Meanwhile, under the dark night sky, a strong figure slowly walked to the riverbank. The boatman was dozing off when suddenly he was patted on the shoulder.
He suddenly snapped awake and turned around to see a blond, blue-eyed foreigner.
"Hello," Caesar greeted the old man in fluent Chinese. "Have you seen a girl with long hair and dark eyes?"
He gestured with his hands: "She is very tall and thin, and very beautiful."
The boatman nodded, looking at Caesar warily: "Who are you? What do you want?"
Caesar gave a helpless smile: "That girl is my sister. She's a bit mischievous and playful. I was worried something might happen to her, so I came out to look for her."
Upon hearing this, the boatman looked suspicious, clearly not believing that such a blond, blue-eyed boy and a black-haired, black-eyed girl could be siblings.
However, seeing Caesar's sincere expression, he finally spoke up: "That little girl rented my boat and rowed over there. It's so dark, I don't know what she's up to."
The boatman grumbled incessantly, "I'm really getting old. I'm increasingly unable to understand what you young people are thinking."
Looking in the direction the boatman pointed, Caesar instantly understood that this was the location he had scouted during the day. He frowned slightly and looked at another small, dilapidated boat on the river.
"Is this boat yours too? Can I buy it? I want to go find her; I'm worried she might be in danger."
The boatman hesitated for a moment, then nodded. To be honest, he also felt it was dangerous for a young girl to go out on the river in the middle of the night, and it would be better if someone went to look for her.
So Caesar rowed his little wrecked boat to the spot where it was during the day. He saw the empty boat bobbing on the water, and then looked down at the pitch-black water beneath it.
The river at night looked like the gaping maw of a monster. No one knew what would happen if they jumped in. Looking at the bottomless black water, a sense of fear spread deep in their hearts.
Caesar gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and jumped in. The moment he entered the water, he released countless weasels. These night elves surged wildly in all directions, searching for the girl's figure.
He didn't search for long before he ran into Genji, who was swimming back.
Genji had now returned to her normal appearance; all the white scales had disappeared, leaving only a pair of brilliant golden eyes that still burned like an inextinguishable flame.
She showed no surprise at seeing Caesar, as if she had expected it.
Caesar's expression was somewhat unpleasant, but it wasn't convenient to talk underwater, so he could only return to the surface with Genjiro first.
But just as he turned to leave, he suddenly felt a tremendous tremor, as if the earth were shaking.
In the unfathomable depths of the water, a massive explosion suddenly erupted! The surging energy instantly churned the surrounding water into chaos, bubbles rose rapidly, and the powerful shockwave plunged the entire riverbed into turmoil.
Caesar lost his balance and was almost swept away by the rushing water when a slender hand grabbed his arm and helped him regain his footing.
Caesar instinctively opened his mouth to speak, but before he could utter a sound, a large amount of river water rushed into his mouth, and countless air bubbles rushed out, turning into countless bubbles that headed towards the surface of the water.
Seeing Caesar's horrified expression, Genji slowly raised her index finger to her lips, making a shushing gesture.
The girl floated quietly in the water, her countless black hairs swaying behind her with the ripples. Her figure was slender and her face delicate, stunningly beautiful as a water sprite.
With a slight blink of her bright golden eyes, the elfin-like girl whispered, "Shh, don't speak."
"Listen, something is crying, it's about to come out."
Chapter 95 The professor was arrested by the police.
Caesar stared in horror as he saw flashes of white light appear one after another from the depths of the water.
Then came a deep, rumbling sound, one after another, as if a giant beast was awakening underwater!
In an instant, the water seemed to boil, churning violently, and the powerful shockwave from the explosion spread in all directions, creating towering waves.
The waves surged and raged, turning the once clear lake water into a murky mess. The mud and sand at the bottom of the lake were stirred up, and the greatest impact made Caesar feel like a small boat tossed about in the giant waves, as if he could be swept away at any moment.
Yuan Zhinu grabbed the man's arm with one hand and swam towards the surface of the water with him.
It was at this moment that Caesar realized more clearly and intuitively just how terrifying the power of this seemingly thin and frail girl was.
Under the impact of such huge waves, trying to swim to the surface was like fighting a ferocious beast, but the girl was not at all different. She was as nimble as a small fish, but the force that pulled him away was like that of a bull.
Finally, before the next wave of impact arrived, Genji pulled Caesar to the surface of the water, but their wooden boat that had been moored on the water had long since drifted away, and the two of them could only swim back by hand.
Fortunately, they were of mixed race and their physical abilities had been enhanced, so tasks that would be extremely difficult for ordinary people were not difficult at all.
Even if the river is turbulent and surging, they can easily swim back to the shore.
The premise is that it's just the river water churning.
"Hurry up, something's here," Yuan Zhinv said without turning her head.
Even without her reminder, Caesar sensed it. The weasel he released brought back countless noisy sounds, with a baby-like shrill cry spreading from the depths of the water, accompanied by an enormous heartbeat.
Something terrible was awakened by the explosion.
Caesar didn't know what it was, but he figured it wasn't a friendly thing. If that thing came after them now, the two of them, still in the water, would have no way to escape.
Fortunately, they were quick enough to swim back to shore and climb onto land, and the terrifying creature did not seem to pursue them.
Caesar tentatively released the Kamaitachi again, but this time he didn't detect anything.
The cries and heartbeats I had heard before had vanished without a trace, as if it had all been an illusion, and all that remained in the world was the sound of churning water.
Caesar was absolutely certain that a terrifying being had indeed awakened, but now it felt as if that terrifying being had been woken up, then turned over in annoyance and went back to sleep.
"Are all dragon kings this good-tempered?" Caesar murmured in a daze, "They're actually letting us go like this?"
Yuan Zhinu glanced at him speechlessly, too lazy to explain. The boatman who had been waiting on the shore saw them come ashore and hurriedly came to greet them.
"What's going on? What happened? Where's my boat?"
Yuan Zhinv gathered her soaking wet hair behind her back and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, sir, there seems to have been an earthquake underwater. The waves capsized the boat, so we had to swim back."
"How much is your boat? I'll buy it."
"No need for that, the money your brother gave us is enough to buy many boats." The boatman scratched his head, glanced at the still churning river, and looked worried: "How could there be an underwater earthquake out of nowhere? Are you all alright?"
He looked shaken: "Such big waves, thank goodness you guys came back, otherwise I would have called the police. You guys are really lucky to have managed to swim back!"
Yuan Zhinv smiled and said, "Yes, you're very lucky. Uncle, you should go back now, it's too late."
The boatman nodded, turned back every few steps as he walked away, muttering something under his breath. If you listened closely, he seemed to be lamenting that young people these days are getting increasingly reckless.
Both Genjiro and Caesar ignored this assessment. Seeing that Genjiro showed no intention of explaining, Caesar had no choice but to speak up:
"Ruri Kazama, have I not told you that you can't act on your own?"
His tone was extremely serious. In the student council, he was an absolute and even somewhat autocratic president. He hated people who didn't follow orders. If such a person stayed in his student council, he would be expelled in less than a week.
The girl in front of him, as a member of his group, repeatedly disobeyed his instructions, showing no regard for him as the group leader, and her behavior was nothing short of provocative.
But when faced with his questioning, Yuan Zhinü merely raised her eyelids and asked, "So, what do you want?"
Caesar frowned. Even though he was very dissatisfied, his noble demeanor prevented him from speaking ill of the girl. Moreover, looking into those dark, inky eyes, he felt a chill inexplicably.
I have a feeling that if I keep talking, something really bad is going to happen.
He thought it must be his imagination. After all, she was just a girl with a bad temper. She just looked fierce. Maybe she had never even killed a chicken. Could she really do anything to him?
It's just bluffing. He's seen many girls like this. Every time they feel guilty, they straighten their backs and raise their voices, just to hide their unease.
Thinking about it this way, the anger at being disobeyed lessened somewhat. Caesar felt he couldn't argue with a young girl, so he took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
"I'm asking you, what exactly did you do? Why did you act on your own?"
Yuan Zhinu ignored him and turned to leave. Her indifferent attitude, treating him as if he were air, was even more infuriating. Caesar strode forward and grabbed her wrist, his expression unusually angry.
Caesar's blue eyes seemed to spit fire as he said, enunciating each word clearly, "I'm asking you a question!"
Yuan Zhinu frowned slightly. The last person who dared to speak to her like that was probably already three meters old with grass growing on their grave. Her slender fingers curled slightly, and she almost reflexively wanted to draw her sword.
Unfortunately, I didn't bring a knife.
As the somewhat disappointed Yuan Zhinü was contemplating whether to punch this annoying guy or kick him away, a series of noisy footsteps suddenly came from afar.
Mans, with his hair disheveled, was wearing a bathrobe, followed by a large number of staff members who had also just woken up, all rushing towards him, each with a rather interesting expression.
“What have you done!” Mans growled in a low voice. “My God, what have you all done!”
He stared at the still churning river, his face contorted with agitation: "Why did you make such a commotion? What if Norton wakes up?! Who gave you permission to act on your own?!"
He looked like he was going crazy, stumbling and lunging forward as if he wanted to devour Genjiro and Caesar alive.
The scene was so grand that Caesar was startled and instinctively swallowed the words that were about to come out. As a result, the girl who had been ignoring him quietly approached him.
"Team leader," Yuan Zhinv called out to him, "Do you still remember you're the team leader?"
Caesar looked at her, bewildered, and suddenly felt a very bad premonition.
Sure enough, the next second he saw the girl break free of his hand and walk towards Mans.
"Professor, the mission has been successfully completed." Genji remained expressionless, calmly reporting as if she were a general who had just returned victorious.
Mans was completely taken aback by this question and instinctively asked, "What mission?"
A look of confusion appeared in Yuan Zhinv's eyes: "It's about using bombs to blast open the rock layers, wasn't that mentioned in the meeting before?"
Mans was practically going crazy: "But I already refused! I said those bombs weren't enough to blast through 40 meters of rock! The noise they made might even wake Norton! Who gave you permission to act on your own?!"
Yuan Zhinv: "The mission was approved by the team leader. I was just following the team leader's orders."
