In the cell, Xia Fan was on the left, and the strange woman was on the right.
Through the words of the guards, Xia Fan already knew that the woman was called Sarah, a senior investigator of the Special Task Force of the Sacred Alliance.
Although they were very close, Sarah never talked to Xia Fan. Occasionally, she would stare at Xia Fan with hatred. Perhaps it was because Xia Fan had killed her companions.
Xia Fan felt her gaze. When he turned his head, she would quickly move her eyes to the floor. She hugged her legs and curled up in the corner.
On the third day, Xia Fan did not sleep after nightfall. There was a small window in the cell. Xia Fan had been standing by the window since evening. His eyes looked very anxious, and his nose kept twitching. This abnormal behavior made Sarah curious, but she would not ask Xia Fan anything. She only had hatred for Xia Fan.
Although Xia Fan killed Ma Gaolong and seemed to have saved her, Sarah felt that the damn guy had no good intentions in killing Ma Gaolong. He did it just to rape her and take her for himself.
Xia Fan was wearing electromagnetic shackles on his hands. These shackles should have completely suppressed Xia Fan's superpower. But for some reason, although Xia Fan's speed was gone, his sense of smell was still there. Of course, the electromagnetic shackles still had some effect. Xia Fan's sense of smell was only about 50% of what it used to be.
However, 50% of his sense of smell was enough for Xia Fan to smell something unsettling in the air. If Xia Fan's judgment was right, that thing should be a directional explosive bomb.
There were a lot of them. At least 500 directional explosive bombs were placed around the camp in a ring.
Xia Fan's brain was working very fast. Cang Yue had many more powerful explosives. Why did it have to be an ancient directional bomb?
It should not be the people from the Godslayer Society who wanted to kill the soldiers in the camp. If that was the case, a particle bomb would be enough. There was no need to go through so much trouble to place directional bombs around the camp that were good at penetrating but very weak.
What were they trying to do?
Han Tang racked his brains, but he could not find an answer. What was worse was that because he was locked up, Han Tang could not get in touch with Fu You and tell him about his discovery.
Fo You didn't know that there were bombs around the camp, did he?
Hopefully, they could get through the night safely. That way, they could tell Fu You the news when they met tomorrow. Griffin had stipulated that Fu You, as Xia Fan's younger brother, could visit once a day. However, when Fu You came this morning, the smell of directional bombs did not appear. This smell came from the dark sky, which meant that the God-slaying Society had only started to set up the bombs at night.
Xia Fan was anxious. Suddenly, the guards arrived.
"I'll give you some supper today." As the guard spoke, he placed two metal boxes into the cell. The boxes were not small. They were longer than Xia Fan's arm, but they did not look like food containers. Furthermore, the boxes had an electronic lock that could not be opened.
The guard said seriously, "Since it's a midnight snack, you should eat it at night. There's an electronic lock on the box. It will open at midnight. You can eat it then. Remember, midnight."
After saying that, the guard left.
Xia Fan held the box in his hand, but Sarah was still curled up in the corner. Through his superpower of smell, Xia Fan knew that Sarah was terrified at the moment. She released a large amount of dopamine to suppress the fear in her heart. Perhaps Sarah thought that the box contained poison, and the God-slaying Society had finally decided to poison her to death.
However, Xia Fan knew very well that the box was not a midnight snack at all. It was metal. It was some kind of weapon used for combat.
The guard actually sent him a weapon?
Why was that?
Xia Fan could not figure it out, but he keenly felt that the time of midnight should be very important. Otherwise, the guard would not have mentioned this time twice. It should be to let him notice that the box would open automatically at midnight.
But what would happen in the middle of the night?
The directional bombs that surrounded the camp and the weapons that the guards had sent into the prison cells. Could it be that this guard was an informant that the Alliance had planted in the God Slaying Society? He had already sent out the news that the Alliance would attack at midnight tonight. In order to support the attack, he had sent me the weapons?
But that did not seem right. There was more than one guard. When the guard sent the weapon, the other two people outside clearly saw it.
Perhaps these three guards were all from the Alliance?
Impossible!
If the Alliance had planted so many intelligence agents in the God-slaying Society, the God-slaying Society would have been destroyed long ago. Judging from the fact that the Three Major Alliances hated the God-slaying Society to the core but could not do anything about it, the Alliance should have no control over the God-slaying Society.
Without a doubt, these guards could not be from the Alliance. But why would they send him a weapon? And why did they specifically tell him that the box with the weapon would open automatically at midnight?
.....
There were only fifteen minutes left until midnight, and Xia Fan's anxiety had reached its peak. For the whole night, he had been staring at the window, not moving an inch. This strange behavior naturally attracted Sarah's attention, but she did not seem to have any intention of communicating with Xia Fan. She continued to curl up in the corner.
"Sarah, you better hold on to that box tightly," Xia Fan suddenly said to Sarah and called her name.
Sarah, who was in the corner, raised her head. Her eyes were filled with vigilance. However, perhaps because of her reverse psychology, she did not do as Xia Fan said.
Xia Fan seemed to be a little anxious. He raised his voice and said, "The guards are quickly retreating from the camp. Although I do not know what will happen, you better hold on to that box tightly! There are weapons in the box! "
Weapons?
Sarah was shocked. She stood up and looked at the door. Outside the door was where the guards lived. She pricked up her ears, but she could not hear any voices. Perhaps it was just as Xia Fan said. The guards had already left the cell.
But why would the guards suddenly leave?
How did this barbarian from the Barren River know all this? Why did he say that there were weapons in the box?
Thinking back to the scene where Xiaowu's throat was slit by Xia Fan, Sarah felt disgusted by Xia Fan's actions. After killing Crazy Horse King, Xia Fan even dragged Sarah's hair and brought her to his bed. He must have wanted to rape her.
However, Sarah now had a strange feeling about Xia Fan. She felt that this barbarian was trying to save her.
After thinking for a few minutes, reason prevailed. Sarah picked up the box on the ground and held it in her arms. However, she did not say a word to Xia Fan. She was still very vigilant.
Seeing that Sarah picked up the box, Xia Fan did not say anything more to her. He still looked out the window nervously.
It was less than two minutes before midnight. Suddenly, Xia Fan saw a small thing approaching him in the dark. It seemed to be a mouse, but it did not smell like a mouse. Through his superpower of smell, Xia Fan could tell that it was a mouse.
The odorless mouse was very alert. It crawled in the dark, and every time it crawled a certain distance, it would look around vigilantly.
When the weird rat rushed through the area illuminated by the spotlights, Xia Fan finally saw it clearly. It was not an ordinary rat, but something that looked like a phantom creature. It looked like a 3D animation. Even though its teeth, hair, and ears were very similar to a real rat, Xia Fan had learned animal taming from the fisherman, so he was very familiar with rats. He easily noticed the difference between it and the rat.
Xia Fan suddenly remembered that there was a young man named Qian Shuimo in the infiltration team. Fu You was very close to him. He once told Xia Fan that Qian Shuimo's superpower was to make any creature he drew materialize and turn it into his own battle beast.
Was this Qian Shuimo's battle beast?
If that was the case, it meant that Qian Shuimo and Fu You had already made contact. That was why Qian Shuimo knew that he was imprisoned and sent his battle beast to communicate with him.
Was it possible to exchange information with a Phantom Beast? How should he do it?
Just as Xia Fan was thinking quickly and looking forward to Qian Shuimo's battle beast approaching him, something unexpected happened.
It was already midnight. The directional explosives buried around the campsite were suddenly detonated at the same time. The ground shook violently, and then began to tilt. It was as if this large piece of land had encountered some kind of landslide, and it began to slide rapidly.
If Xia Fan was standing in the air at this moment, he would know what had happened.
It was indeed a landslide. The land where the camp was located was close to the bottomless black hole. Under the bombing of the directional explosives, the land was sliding into the black hole at an extremely fast speed.
