Chapter 595: Chapter 595: Buried Bomb Chapter 595: Chapter 595: Buried Bomb At the gate of the F city base, there was still no need to register to enter the city. The last time Su Jin and others entered with Wei Junhao, the gatekeeper had given each person a palm-sized piece of paper stamped with a seal. Luckily, Su Jin had casually put it into her space storage, otherwise they would have to pay the mutated crystal nuclei again to enter the city this time.

Lu Hao noticed that the entrance fee of three crystal nuclei from last time had now become five.

The newcomers to the base complained while digging out their crystal nuclei, saying that even though five Level Three Mutated Crystal Cores weren’t a lot, they were still quite expensive compared to the entrance fees at other bases.

The accommodation they had last time from the base was definitely no longer available, so they had no choice but to rent a new place again, and Su Jin even rented it for an entire month straight away.

Although they could stay with a family in a small Western-style building at the True Martial Sect, they hadn’t explained this situation to Lian Jiyue before, and of course, they didn’t plan to explain it now.

Moreover, because of her pregnancy, Su Jin also dared not take the face-changing pills from the space, as no one could be sure if the pills would have any side effects on the child, so for safety reasons, she decided to stay in the F city base under her own identity for a while.

“You just take it easy here during this time, we’ll handle the matters over there”
After settling down, Lu Hao stroked Su Jin’s belly in the room, saying this.

“I know, but at least let me take out some supplies,” she replied.

Su Jin pressed his large hand down. Even though it was not appropriate for her to appear in public, she could still become invisible with the help of the Local Tyrant Gold.

“Hmm, just make sure not to overexert yourself,” he advised.

Lu Hao remembered the pregnancy information Wen Xiaoling had shared with him–if a pregnant woman’s body shows no abnormalities, it’s actually beneficial for her to move around frequently.

So, the couple stayed in the rented apartment for a while before going out, having greeted Qiqi and Lian Jiyue first.

Their rented place was very close to the True Martial Sect’s area of influence. This was also the reason Lu Hao chose this apartment, although it had a smaller yard, it was more than enough for a few of them to live in.

They hadn’t reached the place where they had encountered Wu Xingye earlier when they already saw a long line. Walking further would only lead into more impenetrable congestion.

Su Jin finally understood why her family had no time to enter the space; this line was even longer than the one they had encountered in D city, with people sleeping on the roadside, playing cards, playing chess, and chatting everywhere.

Lu Hao was always beside Su Jin, protecting her, fearing that she would get bumped into. It was impossible to move forward, they had to line up.

Su Jin suddenly pulled Lu Hao to another path, “Let’s enter through the window instead.”

“The window on the back wall?”

Lu Hao thought it was feasible, but he believed they needed to take out the Local Tyrant Gold first, otherwise if someone saw them, they might be mistaken for thieves.

The area around the back wall of the Western-style building was overgrown with desolate weeds, and there was a row of concrete platforms under the wall corner covered by the withered weeds.

Both clutching Local Tyrant Gold, Su Jin was just about to stimulate the vine to grow, only to find that Lu Hao, standing beside her, had stopped moving.

“What’s wrong?” she asked in a low voice, noticing he seemed to have spotted something.

“Xiao Jin, stand back, go to the back of the building,” Lu Hao said seriously, as if he had encountered something terrible.

“Why?” she asked.

Looking where Lu Hao was focusing, Su Jin only saw a patch of weeds.

“I suspect someone has planted a bomb here, but I am not certain,” Lu Hao stated.

Lu Hao surveyed the area around his feet again, relieved that there did not seem to be any danger on the concrete platform, but the two differently colored wires protruding from under the weeds were all too familiar to him.

“Are Lin Xiuyuan and the others the target?”

Su Jin’s expression also turned cold instantly. Planting a bomb in the back wall? If they hadn’t happened to be here today, wouldn’t that family be in danger?

“Don’t worry, I can disarm it. Stand back a bit. If anything happens, I will immediately go in,”
Lu Hao comforted her. By ‘go in,’ he naturally meant entering the Space, his intention being to put Su Jin at ease. Su Jin’s voice was slightly trembling as she spoke, not knowing whether it was from being scared or angry.

“Alright, be careful,”
Su Jin nodded and selected the tools and gloves Lu Hao needed from the Space. Then she took Local Tyrant Gold and stood behind a corner of the distant wall.

Cheep cheep cheep~
Local Tyrant Gold seemed to sense its mistress’s unease, chirping while patting Su Jin’s hand with its little hands.

“Thank you, Local Tyrant Gold,”
Su Jin rubbed the fluffy head of Local Tyrant Gold and then looked towards Lu Hao on the other side.

Lu Hao had carefully extracted a not-so-small wooden box from the pile of wild grass at that moment. Although Su Jin had never seen the box before, it undoubtedly contained a bomb by its look.

In less than five minutes, Lu Hao stood up. He took off the gloves in his hands and gave Su Jin, who was not far away, an OK signal.

“It’s quite substantial, but I’ve completely dismantled it. However, the stuff inside is still pretty dangerous to keep around here,”
Lu Hao pointed at the wooden box, whose lid he had opened.

“Can the contents still explode?”

Su Jin asked.

“They can, a single fire would suffice. But you can take them inside first; they might be useful later,”
Lu Hao said.

“You mean to…”

“Payback in kind,”
Lu Hao’s expression was also quite angry. The dose of the bomb could likely have leveled the small western-style building to the ground. The person who did this really didn’t plan to leave any room for error.

Su Jin nodded, took out a box from the Space, and used vines to put the dismantled bomb inside, then tucked it away behind a little creek within the Space.

There, no one would accidentally stumble upon it and it was far enough from the Lu Residence. Such dangerous things must be kept away from family members.

The two didn’t continue wasting time there, as it would be troublesome if someone came by later. But before leaving, Lu Hao found a large stone and placed it inside the wooden box. Two severed detonation cords were also left sticking out just as they were originally, and then he covered them with dry grass.

A vine, induced to grow by Su Jin, grew taller and lifted the two of them securely to a small balcony on the second floor, and then it was put away by Su Jin.

Unfortunately, the balcony door was locked. It had to be pushed open from the inside.

“Let’s go in first. They might go in to have a meal and rest later, then we can ask them to open it for us,”
Lu Hao checked the time and said. It was almost noon, and the family would be going into the Space to eat.

“Okay,”
Su Jin didn’t want to make a big scene by breaking down the door, especially since her emotions were quite complex at the moment, wishing to immediately find out who had planted that bomb.

It was unlikely to be True Martial Sect’s Wu Xingye, as they had no reason to do so. The family had only just arrived here a few days ago and hadn’t made any acquaintances yet. That made the Base Leader, Liu Jianyuan, the most suspicious person in this matter.

Su Jin analyzed with Lu Hao inside the Space.
