Three hundred metres later, Xia Lei paused in his tracks He reached out and knocked at the cee pipes Despite his vehe from beyond the cement walls Under norood indication that there was no space behind the walls but Xia Lei knew otherwise “This is it, Kyoko Blast this open”
Tsukino Kyoko was perplexed “But there was no echo There’s no space behind it Are you sure you want to do that?”
Xia Lei was firm “Believe me, just do it”
Tsukino Kyoko did not press on further She took out the explosive device fro The explosion offered by the custom directional explosive device was made to be quiet
Xia Lei placed his palht slap this time “This spot, please”
