The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1365: Chapter 1365: Simple and Direct

The boy’s hand holding the bomb trembled slightly, and in that instant, he almost pulled it to explode.

Then, he heard a voice from above, a soft, sweet but slightly seductive voice: ”Don’t hesitate, squeeze it.”

The boy firmly controlled his hand to avoid an explosion, and jerked his head up, glaring at Ji You: ”Give it up, I won’t detonate it.”

Ji You’s tone was obviously disappointed: ”Ah, after all this, you still lack the courage to ignite it.”

The boy hid the bomb behind him, warily stating, ”If you’re thinking of taking the bomb from me, I’d advise you to give up early. I’d rather perish with you than give it to you.”

Ji You waved her hand and said, ”I don’t want the bomb.”

The boy was clearly skeptical.

Ji You suddenly asked, ”I just want to ask one question, do you know where the Array Flag is?”

Boy: ”...”

The boy said speechlessly: ”Do you think I’m an idiot? How could I tell you that?”

Ji You’s usually friendly face suddenly turned serious: ”So you won’t tell me?”

”Want to know?” The boy said, ”Either I die, or you do.”

Ji You said in a deep voice, ”Then you die.”

After saying that, Ji You suddenly leaned forward and pulled hard, yanking him completely towards her in his widened eyes. The boy, holding the bomb in one hand, resisted with all his might, but Ji You seemed completely unconcerned that he might detonate the bomb, directly throwing him to the ground with force.

Bam!

Boy: ”You!” You really aren’t afraid I’ll detonate the bomb?

Ji You grabbed his collar and threw him over her shoulder.

Bam!

A loud bang—

The boy’s fingertips trembled, and the tightly held bomb slipped out just then, and at that moment, a pair of hands moved faster, directly picking up the bomb!

”!!!” The boy’s lips trembled: ”I... damn!”

In front of him, Ji You threw the bomb away—

Sssss—

The bomb packed tightly inside the box made a sizzling sound at this moment, leaving the boy momentarily stunned when he witnessed this.

The boy opened his mouth wide: ”I!!!”

”You... you’re courting death!!!!”

”Ah!!!”

”Take cover!!!” he shouted, forcefully alerting his teammates. The bombs he made had power equivalent to a Particle Cannon, but due to material constraints, it took about 30 seconds from ignition to explosion. With only a short 30 seconds to react, it was definitely too late. He was well aware that they’d all be done for in 30 seconds!

Just then, Ji You suddenly drew a bow and fired!

With a whoosh, the arrow shot away with great impact, directly pushing the bomb several hundred meters away!

The boy’s eyes widened: ”Damn!”

Then—

Ji You drew the bow again and fired!

The second arrow hit the bomb box once more!

With the force of inertia, the bomb box was pushed forward another few hundred meters, ultimately stopping in an uninhabited valley.

Boom—

A great explosion resounded around, and in an instant, the Charles Commander Base, along with Ji You’s teammates stationed 2000 meters away, were all shocked!

Rumble~

Fireworks in the sky illuminated this dark night.

Bright as day!

Within the rolling dust, nearby rocks and soil, as well as a small part of the city wall, were all sucked into the billowing dust...

At that moment, Ji You suddenly blew a whistle—

Whistle—

Hearing the signal, He Nu, Liu Jia, Wang Xin, He Yu... all the members from the 5th Battalion who had rushed over at that moment picked up their weapons and charged while the enemies were still stunned.

Up on the watchtower, the Squad Leader stationed there, as well as other key members, were waiting for Heidi to bring back the bomb, only to be suddenly interrupted by the sound of an explosion behind them.

This was—

An accidental discharge?

The Squad Leader and others gaped in shock, their eyes wide and bewildered: ”What happened?”

”Is Heidi crazy?”

”Is Xie Kui crazy too?”

Xie Kui was the boy who made the bomb.

But it was a bit strange; even if they planned to detonate the bomb, why would they throw it so far away?

The Squad Leader couldn’t make sense of it, when suddenly, his expression changed drastically: ”Attention, enemy attack!”

”Enemy attack!”

”Everyone be alert!!!”

But it was too late. In the mere seconds while everyone was still in shock from the bomb explosion, the enemies, who had been biding their time in hiding, sprang forward, charged into the vanguard team ahead, pushed open the city gates, and rushed inside.

Those slightly slower had also reached the city gate.

Quickly.

The Vanguard Team had already taken out the guards at the gate, and in an instant, the gates were thrown wide open, welcoming Ji You’s army entirely.

”Charge—”

The army roared!

The scene spiraled out of control, many from the 6th Battalion didn’t even react to what happened; their bodies aching before the Protective Shield light burst from them.

Doomed.

Dead.

...

Outside the screen, the students watching this battle were somewhat dazed, as this was a completely unexpected beginning and ending. They thought Ji You would use another strategy to open the battle, but never expected her to be so simple and crude.

”Just threw it like that?”

”Throwing it for fun?”

”Was this bomb meant for the opening fireworks?”

”Perhaps...”

”If it were me, I’d quietly leave after getting the bomb, and then throw it inside the enemy base, done!”

”To the one in front, even though it would be done, wouldn’t all the points of the dead enemies count towards Ji You?”

”It should count to her, right?”

”Cough... so, Ji You didn’t cause a scene, to give her teammates a way to earn points?”

”Is she that kind-hearted?”

”Cough... maybe the match system will rule out those 200 points as invalid, meaning nobody gets them?”

”That’s possible.”

...

Ji You gazed at the fireworks sparked by the bomb, with a hint of sweetness in her eyes, but this smile, to the boy who developed the bomb, was no different from the Demon King’s smile.

He inhaled sharply and said, ”You won. But... but...” he stammered, ”but your people, they can’t defeat us, our base still has... many experts!”

”Exactly!”

”Many experts!” he reiterated.

Ji You slowly turned to him.

The boy couldn’t help but take a step back: ”What do you want to do?”

Ji You extended her hand: ”What’s your name?”

The boy clammed up: ”...”

”Speak,” Ji You asked a second time, ”my subordinates don’t die nameless.”

”...” The boy gritted his teeth and groaned: ”Xie Kui.”

Ji You smiled: ”I remember you.”

In the next second.

The boy bolted, but Ji You was a step quicker, she raised her hand and flung a folding knife over.

Bam!
