Apocalypse: After Being Reborn, I Stocked Up on All Supplies-Chapter 154 - : Head-to-head Confrontation!
Chapter 154: Chapter 154: Head-to-head Confrontation!
Seeing the contents of the skull-decorated box, Jiang Yan’s heart skipped a beat.
It was a top-secret vest made with miniature bombs, each merely 4-5 centimeters long, 1-2 centimeters wide.
A single one packed enough explosive power.
Once someone donned it, it would be with them for life.
When Jiang Yan had gone to the Beautiful Country to buy weapons, the sellers had even recommended this item to her.
She hadn’t bought it, though—it was too cruel.
...
It was like the ancient practice of raising Death Soldiers, and generally, only some private military or mercenary groups would use it on warriors requiring a high degree of secrecy.
“Each person gets one, everyone gets a share! Young Master Xue said, as long as everyone completes the tasks set earlier without leaking a single bit of information! Then, the reward for everyone will be a lifetime of complimentary Residence rights at Flame Base!
This Residence right includes everyone’s family. But if you accidentally reveal anything, then, well, no need for me to say what to do!
The Flame Base will take good care of your families! And the compensation promised to you will be given to your families in full!” Zhao Nianzu swept his gaze over the crowd, speaking with passionate conviction.
The expressions on everyone’s faces were a mix of joy and sorrow.
The young man had already taken out the vests from the box and placed one in front of each person.
Zhao Nianzu’s words sounded plain and simple, but the threats they carried were full to the brim.
Ma Longbiao and the others were murderous demons who didn’t blink an eye at killing others.
However, most of the people inside were cruel to others but extremely caring towards their own families.
Putting aside that their families were in Xue Miaomiao’s hands.
Her means were such that even the worst demons in the world could not compare, and they definitely didn’t dare to oppose or disobey her.
“Don’t worry, these vests are waterproof, sweatproof, high-temperature resistant, and have an extremely strong resistance to impacts. No matter how vigorous your daily activities, they will not affect you. However, if you are captured or caught by the officials, then, you know what to do!” Zhao Nianzu said the words “vigorous activities” with an ill-intentioned smile.
“Yes, boss.” Everyone listened to Zhao Nianzu’s double-entendre words, but none could muster a smile.
Drawing a deep breath as one, several men quickly took off their coats, stripped to the waist, and donned the vests.
During this process, no one pleaded for mercy, nor dared to do so.

Their relationship with Zhao Nianzu wasn’t like that of subordinates; it was more like a partnership.
After all, they knew that in the current apocalyptic setting, the only way to survive was to tightly bind themselves to Flame Base and cling to Young Master Xue’s coattails.
As for the rest, all of the men were accustomed to living on the edge, their inner resistance no stronger than that of an average person.
To put it bluntly, they were people who had controlled the lives of thousands with hundreds of lives on their hands and had grown used to unabashed arrogance.
Those capable of capturing them?
Sorry, they hadn’t been born yet.
Zhao Nianzu watched his subordinates’ compliance, a hint of pride surfacing between his brows.
Jiang Yan watched the farce unfolding inside the room with an added twist of anxiety in her heart.
Sun Jingtao and the others didn’t know that there were so many moving bombs in the building at this moment.
No, she had to act fast.
“Alright, it’s getting late, everyone disperse,” Zhao Nianzu said as he swung his legs down from the conference table and stood up.
Just when Jiang Yan thought he was about to walk out of the conference room, she saw his right hand suddenly stretch out with agile swiftness, dismantling the submachine gun from the young man beside him.
The entire process was as smooth as flowing water. Jiang Yan was stunned, while the others were utterly baffled.
“Boss…” The young man who had his gun snatched away trembled, his face a mixture of shame, fear, and confusion.
Before Jiang Yan and Hua Bao could react, the former raised the submachine gun and “tat-tat-tat-tat” unleashed a wild barrage of gunfire around the area where Jiang Yan lay.
As dust whirled, plaster ceiling fragments pattered down all over the floor.
“Clang!”
A broken stainless steel ventilation duct crashed to the ground, splitting the marble floor tiles into two pieces.
“Thud!”
Just as the ventilation shaft fell, Jiang Yan gracefully leapt out in a swift bound.
She stretched her arms forward, lightly hooking onto a crossbeam on the ceiling. Then, with a light touch of her feet against the falling ventilation duct to cushion her fall, she landed stylishly atop the conference table.
With a swift motion of her feet touching the ground followed by an agile spin—
An armed to the teeth, yet dust-covered Jiang Yan, now stood firmly with her gun ready on the ground.
Crawling in the ductwork for so long, her front clothing and hair were coated in grime.
As if having just emerged from a pile of ashes.
Yet this did nothing to conceal her dashing bearing.
Hua Bao had already opened its huge maw, instantly teleporting in front of Jiang Yan to protect her.
Being naturally transparent, it did not obscure her vision at all.
Hua Bao and weapons, Bulletproof Vest, these were the sources of Jiang Yan’s confidence to face everyone head-on at the moment.
She had thought for an instant about entering the Space, but ultimately she gave it up.
If later the enemy concentrated all their firepower on her, she would meet an even more miserable death.
Although she could theoretically hide out in the Space for a lifetime, she felt that confronting them head-on was better.
She would not be content unless she annihilated these murderous scum.
And the way they had fired, aiming around her body clearly indicated they wanted to capture her alive.
However, she was puzzled. How had they accurately discovered her location?
She had already meticulously wiped dry any traces of water on her body beforehand.
As these thoughts occupied her mind, Jiang Yan had already turned on the electromagnetic jamming filter.
Simultaneously, she retrieved a cz805bren assault rifle capable of holding 100 rounds in a single magazine from the Space.
All this happened in a blink of an eye.
“This!!!”
Ma Longbiao and the others were first startled by Zhao Nianzu’s sudden move to snatch the gun and spray the ceiling crazily, and then completely shocked by the sudden appearance of Jiang Yan coming to life.
Especially her agile moves, armed appearance, and the powerful weapon in her hand far exceeded their expectations.
Some even thought they were hallucinating from sleepwalking.
Although everyone had their thoughts, their hands subconsciously “clicked and clacked,” pointing their guns at Jiang Yan in unison.
Both parties were like drawn bows with arrows ready to fly.
“Boss! What’s happening?” Several people responsible for guarding outside also rushed to the door in panic with their submachine guns.
Seeing Jiang Yan suddenly appear and the ominous hole in the ceiling, everyone’s pupils contracted, and a chill ran down their spines.
Especially the two young men chatting outside shared a glance for a second.
There really was somebody in the ceiling interlayer of the building, and it wasn’t just some so-called Rat.
