Chapter 311: How to Destroy a City
by xennovelChapter 311: How to Destroy a City
Whether in a previous life or this one.
Xiao Yu rarely considered criminals to be human.
Because when you see them as people…
They kill you as casually as butchering chickens or sheep.
Has Xiao Yu lost his mind?
He just remembered a saying:
If one day, brother goes crazy,
please tell everyone that brother once loved!
At least, this vicious brute had confessed to Xiao Yu that he could never bring himself to hurt the woman he adored!
It even reminded Xiao Yu of his own sister…
A WeChat conversation window.
Xiao Yu: Sis, don’t you miss the summer of ’22, and that one person from that summer?
Mu Qingwu: … Just focus on work; no mischief!
Xiao Yu: So what if I miss you? Should I jerk off just to pretend I’m meeting my sister?
Mu Qingwu: …
Xiao Yu: Are those ellipses because you’ve got nothing to say, or is there a dog outside?
Mu Qingwu: I’m ‘240’ here, pondering how a woman’s taste is reflected by the kind of man by her side… Does little brother want me to turn into a goofball?
Xiao Yu: Uh, what I meant to say was, “Dear user, hello. Due to your long silence with your little brother, your brother’s service has expired and will soon be terminated. Thank you for using our service. To unsubscribe, reply TD; to renew, reply AN.”
Mu Qingwu: TD
Xiao Yu: Sis, I feel like you’re aimlessly wandering back and forth, almost about to lose your little brother. What do you think?
Mu Qingwu: May I ask, dear customer service, what kind of service for little brother are you talking about? Is it legitimate?
Xiao Yu: …I’m going too fast—my ding-ding car can’t keep up!
Mu Qingwu: Ha… I’m having dinner with Grandma and your Mother-in-Law. Chatting with you all day isn’t a good idea—I should be with them.
Xiao Yu: What are you eating?
Mu Qingwu: Bullfrog meat is incredibly tender and delicious. When you get back, I’ll take you there.
Xiao Yu: Is it really that cruel?
Mu Qingwu: ???
Xiao Yu: I mean, what if the little frog can’t find its mom?
Mu Qingwu: No worries, all the little frogs reunite neatly in the pot.
Xiao Yu: (sweating emoji)
Mu Qingwu: Stop being so clingy, little brother; be good.
Xiao Yu: When I get back, how about we watch a movie?
Mu Qingwu: Sure.
Xiao Yu: I’ll grab the tickets and popcorn.
Mu Qingwu: Mm.
Xiao Yu: You watch the movie.
Mu Qingwu: And little brother?
Xiao Yu: I’ll be watching sis instead.
Mu Qingwu: Hurry back.
Xiao Yu: Okay.
……
He put down his phone.
Xiao Yu turned to Wang Dong, who was rolling his eyes. “Let’s find him.”
“Huh?”
Wang Dong blurted out in astonishment, “You know where he is?”
“No.”
Xiao Yu shook his head. “But I know he wants to play a game with us. The Blind Girl is his gesture of sincerity.”
As he spoke, his heart remained unmoved—even a bit expectant.
Wang Dong: ???
He eagerly offered a cigarette, shameless as ever.
Yet his face was filled with confused question marks, waiting for his little brother to explain.
“The logic is simple.”
After a drag, Xiao Yu calmly explained, “When we arrived, he saw us. If he had wanted to find the Blind Girl, all we would have found was a corpse. Since he didn’t, he must have altered the novel’s plot… and at the same time, he’s signaling that the rules have changed. He’s not playing by the book—he wants a bigger game.”
This left Wang Dong frowning, “What kind of game could that be?”
“Hide and seek!”
Xiao Yu blew out a smoke ring and flicked off some ash. “Got it?”
“……”
Wang Dong glared at Xiao Yu, annoyed, “Are you kidding me?”
“Ha!”
With a light chuckle, Xiao Yu explained, “He’s clearly telling us he’s right here in this city… so if you’ve got the guts, go catch him.”
“Are you asking for death?” Wang Dong scoffed.
“No, not exactly suicide.”
Xiao Yu’s expression turned serious. “Remember the novel plot recounted by Fang Shuoxin? ‘Destroy a city.’ He wasn’t joking—he skipped the part about killing the Blind Girl and jumped straight to executing the city’s destruction!”
“Bro, honestly, I don’t believe any ordinary person can destroy a city.”
Wang Dong shook his head, “I can’t fathom it!”
This isn’t military demolition—a few missiles would wipe out a city.
Even with tons of bombs, it’s impossible.
So, what kind of joke is this?!
“Brother Wang, I just realized you know nothing about power.”
Gazing at Wang Dong’s puzzled look, Xiao Yu smiled, “It absolutely can be done. There are many methods!”
“Like what?” Wang Dong asked in disbelief…
“Outside City K, there’s a dam.”
Xiao Yu stated calmly, “That’s the first method.”
Wang Dong’s face instantly froze, his expression changing dramatically.
Blow open the dam and flood the city?
Could such a thing really happen?
Yes—and it wouldn’t take much explosive.
As long as you create a gap in the dam, the water’s force can break it open!
“Secondly,”
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yu continued slowly, “the city’s gas pipeline network!”
“Hiss!” Wang Dong gasped.
Most people might not know this,
but every city has gas pipelines.
They crisscross underground like a spider’s web,
an indispensable part of urban infrastructure.
Under normal conditions, safety measures are so robust that explosions are nearly impossible.
But… that’s only normally.
Imagine if an explosion did occur…
Picture this: beneath the city, countless ‘bombs’ are planted in the gas lines.
If each one detonated suddenly, what a scene it would create!
You can’t even imagine!
“Thirdly—and this is what I dread most,”
Xiao Yu said with a bitter smile, “outside City K… there’s a nuclear power plant!”
Wang Dong could barely breathe.
A nuclear explosion?!
Perhaps many still don’t realize,
that sometimes you can view a nuclear power plant as akin to a nuclear bomb!
Those familiar with it know the destructive force of a Generation 2.0 nuke.
Even though the nuclear power plant is situated outside the city,
in a nuclear blast the heat, radiation, and contamination erupt in an instant,
sweeping outwards like a tidal wave covering everything in its path.
To destroy a city… it’s like an elephant crushing an ant!
Seeing Wang Dong stunned into silence, Xiao Yu felt completely satisfied.
It was a triumphant display of his own divine prowess.
But what he said wasn’t a joke.
Even if blowing up a dam or triggering a nuclear explosion seems far-fetched—maybe too extreme,
the gas pipelines…
if they ever exploded, the consequences would be unimaginable.
And destroying a city isn’t limited to just these three methods.
There are many more.
Xiao Yu kept silent about the rest, for fear of frightening Wang Dong!
