Chapter 58
They walked to the entrance of the laboratory with ease.
Yu Shijin pressed a button on his transceiver and lowered his eyes. “Doctor, please open the door.”
His voice was still as deep and steady as ever.
The moment he finished his sentence, the door to the laboratory opened, revealing busy figures inside the laboratory.
Doctor Luxe placed the tube down and slightly turned his head to face them. He removed the surgical mask and in a deep voice, he said, “Young Master Yu, we still need some time. There are too many things to settle now.”
Standing under a bright light in the laboratory, Yu Shijin looked taller than usual.
He turned around to look at the doctor. “You still have five minutes.”
What an indifferent five words he had said! Although there weren’t any changes in his expression, one could see the bright glint in his slightly narrowed eyes.
With her school bag placed on the table, she walked towards a row of shelves with chemicals stacked inside.
She walked while taking a few chemical bottles from the shelves at a speed that was neither too fast nor too slow.
It seemed as if she was just randomly picking a few out since she did not look at the labels of the bottles.
The three of them stood beside her, and Qu Yan felt a little confused by her actions. “What is Qingqing doing? What is she holding?”
“Ammonium nitrate.” Gu Li immediately knew what Su Huiqing was holding with a glance.
Because he was aware of it, he was also stumped by Su Huiqing’s actions.
He was exemplary in chemistry and thus, he naturally knew what kind of reaction would occur if Su Huiqing were to mix some chemicals together.
For example…
A mini explosive.
Thinking up to that point, he regained his composure.
Perhaps he was thinking too much. After all, it was not that easy to make a mini explosive. Even if they were an expert, it was impossible to make it without any tools.
Not to mention a high-school student!
“Aren’t you shameful for not understanding simple chemical formulas despite being a third-year student?” Yu Xiangyang rolled his eyes when he heard Qu Yan’s question.
“She is not scared of being shameful…” Su Huiqing took out the last bottle of chemicals and placed it into her bag. She then swung her bag over her shoulders and turned her head towards them. She calmly said, “Because she has no shame.”
When Qu Yan saw that a smile crept on Su Huiqing’s face, the same girl who had always kept a cold and aloof demeanor, she turned her head towards her and asked, “Are you trying to joke?”
“Do I look like I’m joking?” Su Huiqing looked at the timer, which stated one minute was left.
Qu Yan stayed silent momentarily before she said, “Yes.”
“Then isn’t it settled? Since you already know, why did you still ask?” Su Huiqing casually asked.
Only ten seconds were left. She placed her hand into her pocket and walked out of the laboratory. Her side view looked extremely beautiful.
Following behind her were three people. Because she had said those words with such seriousness, the other three almost laughed out loud.
Chu Xuning followed closely behind Yu Shijin and walked towards that area. When he saw that scene, he whispered to Yu Shijin, “Miss Su is a nice person.”
Yu Shijin was strapping in the communication device on his wrist when he heard Chu Xuning’s words. He merely raised his brow and kept his usual elegant and cold demeanor.
He did not reply to Chu Xuning and instead, looked at that skinny figure who was leaning against the door.
Under such circumstances, any normal high-school student would get nervous.
Su Huiqing seemed like an aloof person and her black, bright eyes always brought out a sense of nonchalance and indifference. At times, her eyes even gave others the feeling of an unfeeling person.
However, at that moment, one sentence from her calmed the nerves of the three people behind her.
After Yu Shijin saw Doctor Luxe taking out the U-disk, he raised his hand to put on the communicative device.
His other hand opened the door.
At that moment, Chi Yue, who had remained silent for quite a while, spoke again. “Young Master Yu, the hacker on their side keeps interrupting our connection. That hacker is difficult to deal with and I can only temporarily stop him from pressing the power switch of the base. Also, a group of mutants is rushing inside the base and it’s up to you…”
After that sentence, they could hear nothing from Chi Yue’s end, and silence took over.
Chu Xuning took down the transceiver earplug and pressed it a few times. However, the light that showed his connection linking to Chi Yue did not light up.
Realizing that their opponent’s skills could rival Chi Yue, Chu Xuning had a change in expression and looked towards Yu Shijin. He normally would be fearless if it were just him and Yu Shijin on the mission. What he was worried about was that Doctor Luxe, Yu Xiangyang, and some other people were around.
They would definitely be a burden in their mission.
Yu Shijin calmly opened the door and said to Chu Xuning, “Listen to my command.”
‘Shua—’
The door of the science laboratory was opened.
Chu Xuning looked towards Yu Shijin, who kept a steady demeanor as usual before he suddenly thought of someone. He tilted his head to look at her.
Su Huiqing had retracted her nonchalant attitude. She gripped the mini handheld transceiver in one hand while she carried a bag with another hand. With a calm expression similar to that of Yu Shijin, she talked to three other people.
He saw her giving out a few bottles to the three people with a cold smile on her face. “Throw this at them and kill as many of them as you can. I can’t believe they dared to come to Green City and even did these things so blatantly…”
She zipped up her school jacket, and she said, “Did you really think nobody else could manage all of you beside me?”
