Chapter 293: Three Divisions

Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan took a quick look outside the stone gate and found that the door needed a magnetic card to open.

Qiao Yu uttered a soft "tsk" and looked at Jiang Zhan helplessly, "Looks like we're going to have to put in some effort."

Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan were doing "mental work" here, while the two groups outside the base were doing real "physical work".

Cheng Sinian, Luo Zhenzhen and Xiang Heng's team arrived at the "reservoir" on the north side of the base very early.

This was the first time Xiang Heng and his companions had seen this mutated plant.

From a distance, they could smell a very strong smell of blood mixed with the stench of decay and barbecue.

"Why does it smell like barbecue?" A team member sniffed and swallowed.

"Calm down." Xiang Heng pulled out the powder Cheng Sinian had given them from his pocket and warned them solemnly, "Apply this to your philtrum. Captain Qiao said this plant emits a smell similar to barbecue, which is used to paralyze prey. Excessive exposure to this smell can affect a person's spirit, so using this powder will be better."

Upon hearing this, several team members hurriedly took the powder and divided it up.

After Xiang Heng saw them finish applying the powder, he continued to warn them with some concern: "This stuff is very evil, and there are a lot of them. Don't run around and be sure to follow my instructions."

"Don't worry, Captain. This isn't our first mission, so we know what we're doing!"

After hearing this, Xiang Heng said nothing more.

Xiang Heng's team took a different route from Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen. They planned to launch attacks simultaneously from the easternmost and westernmost directions of the plant cultivation area.

This will not only hinder the oncoming troops to the greatest extent possible, but also increase their safety when escaping.

Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen arrived at the "reservoir" and waited for a while before they heard a car horn.

"Okay, we're done." Cheng Sinian raised his eyebrows, looked down at the time, and then pulled Luo Zhenzhen out of the car.

The whistle sound was a secret signal they had agreed upon with Xiang Heng in advance. When the whistle sounded, it meant that they had arrived at the designated location and had begun to make preparations.

It is now half past three. They have agreed with Qiao Yu and Yu Qingchuan that the operation will start on time at four twenty.

So at this point, they still have some time to set the trap.

Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen dug holes and buried grenades on the roads leading to this place.

The pull ring is tied with a thin silk thread and fastened to a mutant tree nearby. Once a person or a convoy passes by, the pull ring will be pulled open directly.

At the same time, Xiang Heng was also setting up traps.

The method of setting the trap was agreed upon by Cheng Sinian with them.

It’s just that Xiang Heng’s side has more manpower, so the range of the buried grenades is also wider.

Several people hurried to bury the grenades before 4:15, and then walked to the outskirts of the mutant plants, quietly waiting for the attack to begin.

"Three, two, one!"

As Cheng Sinian finished speaking, two fireballs as big as washbasins shot out from his hands and directly burned the roots of the mutated plant.

After throwing the fireball, Cheng Sinian quickly threw two grenades at the burning area.

The powerful explosion shattered three of the mutant plants.

The huge explosion also signaled the start of the action to Xiang Heng and others on the other side.

What followed was an even more violent explosion.

The continuous explosions also alarmed Yu Qingchuan, Hua Yue, Yan Zijin and others who were waiting outside the dependent settlement.

Yu Qingchuan looked up in the direction of the explosion, then whispered to Yan Zijin beside him, "Captain Yan, Cheng Sinian has already started. Let's make a final check on our equipment and start the operation in half an hour."

"Okay." Yan Zijin nodded, turned around very neatly and whispered a few words to the team members, then turned back to Yu Qingchuan and whispered softly, "By the way, Researcher Yu, I want to discuss our battle plan with you."

Yu Qingchuan nodded, "Captain Yan, please speak."

"I just thought about it. If we want to cause a bigger stir, there's nothing wrong with splitting up into two groups. But regarding the route, I have a suggestion."

"Instead of going deep into the settlement, why not just go around the outer wall? Bombing as we go, this will not only disperse the enemy forces, but also ensure our escape route. What do you think?"

Yu Qingchuan and Hua Yue looked at each other and saw recognition in each other's eyes.

"I think Captain Yan's plan is good. Let's do it." Yu Qingchuan nodded and gave his approval.

Yu Qingchuan then turned his gaze to the wall in front of him, "Qiao Yu's prediction turned out to be correct. The army of the dependents has really been dispatched."

Yu Qingchuan listened to the sounds of people gathering inside the wall and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Judging from the footsteps, it seems that there are quite a few people gathered.

Yu Qingchuan couldn't help but give Cheng Sinian a thumbs up in his heart, and silently encouraged him: Make it bigger, make it bigger, and try to get more of their people to leave!

However, judging from the current situation, the effect is already very good.

Yu Qingchuan and his companions were very patient. Even when they heard the sound of the legion inside the wall moving away, they did not launch an immediate attack.

They need to wait until the legion goes further.

Otherwise, if the departing legion turns back, things might not be so smooth for Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan.

In this operation, their main strategy is to "force the woman into submission".

They wanted to force the survivor base in City A to send out troops even if they knew it was a trap.

Yu Qingchuan checked his watch until nearly five o'clock. When he estimated that the army was about to reach the "reservoir", he whispered to everyone, "Get started!"

"Bang——"

After Yu Qingchuan finished speaking, Yan Zijin on the side ordered the team members to blow up the wall surrounding the base.

Upon seeing this, the mercenaries left behind in the dependent settlement quickly sounded the alarm in the area.

The sound of this alarm is not particularly loud and should only be heard within the settlement.

However, no one knew the means of communication between the dependent settlement and the base, so they did not dare to enter rashly.

So they did as Yan Zijin had said before, splitting their troops into two groups, one heading south and the other heading north, while blowing up the wall and escaping.

The explosions on both sides came one after another, but unexpectedly harmonized with each other.

Although Yu Qingchuan really wanted to go in and take a look at the failed experiments, he also understood that now was not a good time.

He now only hopes that Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan can successfully obtain samples and provide assistance to him, Professor Kang, and Professor Shen in developing an antidote.
