Chapter 396: Ammunition Depot Explodes! What does an army value the most?
Of course, it's the place where ammunition is stored. This place is called the ammunition depot. In modern warfare, without ammunition, would soldiers be left to fend for themselves?
Spy's attention was focused on the ammunition depot. He knew that once someone noticed Bonar was missing, they would definitely search for him.
After all, it was Captain who had called Bonar over, and now Bonar had disappeared. Even a fool could see the connection.
As the substitute Spy for Captain, he was honored to bear this heavy responsibility.
Spy made his way to the vicinity of the ammunition depot. Indeed, the security here was the tightest. As Spy approached, a soldier stepped forward and said, "Sergeant, this is the ammunition depot. Without Colonel's orders, no one is allowed in. You should leave."
If Spy hadn't been a sergeant, and instead a regular soldier, the guard probably wouldn't have used such a tone.
"Is that so?" Spy pretended to look puzzled, and the soldier didn't suspect anything.
Soldiers would inadvertently get close to this area every day, and he was used to it.
However, the soldiers didn't know that Spy possessed Psychic powers. While his Psychic powers weren't extremely strong, they were more than enough to handle these ordinary soldiers.
His Psychic powers erupted instantly, affecting the emotions of these soldiers. Suddenly, the soldiers in the ammunition depot started attacking each other as if they saw enemies. They aimed their guns at their comrades, and the soldier standing in front of Spy was completely bewildered.
"Colonel, something's wrong!"
In a large office, an officer rushed in, sweat pouring down his forehead.
"What's so alarming? Even if the Empire of the Rising Sun were to appear, we shouldn't show such panic. We are the Allied Forces!" Colonel Gregory's expression was stern as he looked at his deputy.
"Colonel, just now someone reported that the soldiers at the ammunition depot went mad for some reason. They started attacking each other and even prepared to detonate the ammunition depot. They..."
Before the deputy could finish speaking, a loud explosion echoed throughout the camp.
The ammunition depot had exploded!
Seeing this scene, Spy, standing at a distance, smirked. No one would suspect that he was behind this, and his only goal was to draw out Colonel Gregory.
Before long, Spy saw Colonel Gregory. Although he didn't recognize his face, he recognized his rank insignia.
Colonel Gregory saw the ammunition depot engulfed in flames and almost fainted. The depot contained all the ammunition for the entire city. With it gone, were soldiers supposed to engage in hand-to-hand combat with their rifles?
He could already imagine the scene where his military career came to an end. He couldn't bear the weight of this mistake.
"Damn it! Find out who caused the ammunition depot to explode!" Colonel shouted in anger, giving orders.
In fact, he had just taken over everything here. If it weren't for Colonel Lake being killed, he wouldn't have succeeded in taking control of this army.
With this incident emerging now, his fate would be grim.
But before he faced a military court, he had to find the mastermind!
Of course, finding someone wasn't a task for Colonel himself. He just needed to issue orders.
"Deputy, have someone find that person. I want to make them regret being alive!"
"Yes, Colonel."
Colonel returned to his office, and after a while, the deputy walked in.
Colonel was a bit surprised. Had they obtained information this quickly?
But he didn't expect that when the deputy approached him, a punch shattered his head, and his consciousness instantly faded.
"It's finally at the level of Colonel. I haven't disappointed Commander's expectations." Deputy's appearance changed, transforming into Colonel. This deputy was actually Spy in disguise.
With a series of actions, Spy successfully transformed from a soldier to a colonel. His speed was unprecedented.
"Commander, I've become the highest-ranking officer at the blockade line. You can safely pass through here," Spy reported to Su Chen.
"Good job."
Su Chen hadn't expected that in less than half a day, Spy had managed to achieve this position. It seemed that Spy was truly skilled at these sorts of tasks.
Su Chen led Alice toward the blockade line. When a soldier was about to approach for questioning, a junior officer walked over. "They are individuals specially designated by Colonel. Let them pass."
The soldier didn't doubt and opened the passage, allowing Su Chen and Alice to pass.
Meanwhile, a captain found Spy and voiced his confusion, "Colonel, it's clear that the person is a wanted criminal who killed the colonel. Why not capture him? Why let him go?"
"Captain, you should remember your rank when addressing Colonel, right?" Spy said with a faint smile.
"Colonel, I misspoke. But I can't tolerate a wanted criminal passing right in front of me!" The captain persisted.
"Since you want to know, be prepared not to regret it." A sinister smile appeared on Spy's lips.
The captain swallowed hard, suddenly realizing that sometimes, knowing too much led to a more tragic death!
"No, Colonel, I think I don't need to know," the captain hurriedly retreated. He felt that if he didn't leave now, he might become entangled in the struggles between certain factions.
Spy easily pulled off a deceptive maneuver, allowing Su Chen and Alice to leave the city.
Without interference from Allied Forces soldiers, protecting Alice wasn't too challenging for Su Chen.
"Uncle, why did the Allied Forces soldiers let us pass? Could it be related to the person who left your room earlier?" Alice was curious.
She realized she didn't know this person in front of her at all. She had even tracked the person who had left Uncle's room earlier, but that person had disappeared.
Even though she had observed all the surveillance systems in the city, she couldn't find any trace of that person. It was as if the person had never existed.
"Alice, in your opinion, where would be the safest place for us right now?" Su Chen didn't answer directly but asked Alice instead.
Alice knew more about this world than he did.
Alice thought for a moment and pointed in a direction, saying, "There's a relatively small town there. We can hide there for a short while without being found by the Allied Forces."
Su Chen considered it but still didn't find it safe enough. So, he had one last option.contemporary romance
Head to the mountains!
Even though the world was different, there should still be mountains. With Su Chen's abilities, the mountain area wasn't too dangerous. He didn't call Spy back since Spy might be useful among the Allied Forces.
Following Alice's guidance, Su Chen finally arrived in a mountainous area, intending to stay there for about half a month.
Unfortunately, it seemed this world didn't want Su Chen to complete his task so easily. It always managed to throw surprises his way. (To be continued)
