Chapter 272: Release

"Do not go outside no matter what. If anyone approaches you, run to the nearest military installation."

Hao Xuan looked at the message and then at the mushroom cloud in the distance that kept getting bigger and bigger by the second.

"What's going on?" Xu Qing's worried voice grabbed his attention.

At some point, she had run out of her room still in her nightwear with a white robe. Her unkempt hair showed just how much a hurry she was in.

Hao Xuan looked at her with a forced smile.

"Everything is okay. They're just doing some drills and experimenting with a few things. First brother just sent me the message. Go back to sleep," he said while walking up to her and fixing her robe.

Hao Xuan knew with she might not believe him but he didn't want to worry her needlessly, especially since she couldn't even see the mushroom cloud in the background.

To her whatever he said would be the truth, or a version of it.
