She Came to Heal, Stayed to Conquer

Han Lei’s actions were like flowing water, swift and precise, each step executed effortlessly, evidently well-versed in the arrangement of explosives.

Her eyes were focused and calm, as if she was performing an incredibly routine task.

Zhao Zun stood by, his gaze tightly following her every movement, both surprised and impressed within.

Though he did not know what Han Lei was doing, witnessing her working so skillfully and intently, he could not help but feel shocked.

But how could he know that while handling explosives was something Han Lei received professional training for in the military, it was her first time personally operating such a large-scale explosion?

So she had to stay focused.

After the explosives were set up, Han Lei meticulously checked everything once more.

After confirming everything was correct, Han Lei took Zhao Zun’s hand, retreating to the safe area to regroup with the workers.

Her movements were crisp and neat, without the slightest bit of sloppiness, as if she had long been accustomed to such tense and dangerous scenes.

”Everyone close your eyes, cover your ears! Crouch down!”

Han Lei shouted twice, her voice soft yet powerful, with an undeniable authority in her tone.

Though hundreds of workers were puzzled, they still complied, closing their eyes and covering their ears.

Scanning around to ensure everyone was ready, she then took out the remote control device.

Her fingers lightly pressed on the button, pausing slightly to confirm once more that everyone was out of the danger zone, before pressing the button without hesitation.

”Bang! Bang bang bang!”

Several deafening explosions sounded, as if the entire world was trembling.

The rocks burst apart under the explosive force, dust surged up, debris scattered everywhere.

The immense shockwave even shook the ground; though everyone had their eyes closed and ears covered, they could still feel the powerful force, and quite a number of them felt their souls almost leave their bodies, trembling all over, their faces pale.

When the sound of the explosion gradually faded away, after a while, only then did the workers dare to open their eyes.

Brushing off the dust from their bodies, they stood up, waving away the dust and smoke hindering their view, the distant scene leaving them dumbfounded.

The once hard mountain was blasted open with a massive gap, as if a piece had been torn away by the hand of a deity.

And on the ground around the gap, the bauxite iron ore they had toiled over with hoes was everywhere, ready for the taking.

The air was filled with a choking smell, the dust still slowly falling, reminiscent of a storm that had just passed.

”Is this... the handiwork of an immortal?”

One worker murmured to himself, eyes full of awe and incredulity.

He had never witnessed such powerful force, seemingly achievable only by mythical immortals.

”My god! It must be divine thunder!”

Another worker said trembling, his voice deeply shaken.

They usually relied on hoes and chisels, digging little by little, never having seen such swift and efficient blasting.

Mr. Meng and Zhang Ergou, carrying shovels and spades, were stunned by the sight before them, mouths agape, the tools on their shoulders nearly dropping to the ground.

They had seen the workers retreat and returned to fetch the shovels and spades from the cart, intending to distribute them to the workers.

They hadn’t heard Han Lei’s call; just as they had placed the tools on their shoulders, the thunderous explosion occurred.

They exchanged a glance, eyes filled with disbelief.

Zhao Zun stood beside Han Lei, his gaze deep and complex.

Looking at the scene of the mountain crumbling, he couldn’t help but feel waves of emotion.

Han Lei’s methods far exceeded his imagination. Such formidable power, if deployed on a battlefield, would surely change the course of war, rendering it invincible.

”Girl, using such divine means to gather bauxite, isn’t that a bit of a waste?”

Zhao Zun couldn’t help but speak, his tone carrying an unspeakable sense of distress.

Han Lei dusted off herself, smiling nonchalantly: ”I have silver!”

Her tone was relaxed and casual, as if all this was merely a simple task.

Since the day she and Zhao Zun closed the door to plan that ”big thing”, that night, the system surprisingly rewarded her with a fortune in gold.

It was a fortune!

This made her more convinced that the system seemed to be supporting her activities in secret.

Perhaps, her emotional entanglement with Zhao Zun was secondary; assisting him in accomplishing that grand plan was her true mission for being transported to this era.

And the power she possessed was meant to help him achieve that goal.
