Chapter 383 A Fight

In an instant…

Metal and stone scraped together on the floor, producing a trail of tiny sparks.

When the flame ignited, it spread at once.

It advanced from inside the warehouse toward the exit.

Seeing this, Snowfinch immediately pulled back into the stairwell.

Using the fire as cover, Alfred exited through a maintenance passage at the rear of the warehouse and quickly climbed to the roof.

Two liquid nitrogen tanks were placed there. Frost covered their aged surfaces, and thin white vapor leaked from the pressure relief valves.

Alfred crouched beside them and rapidly reconstructed the pipeline layout in his mind.

The relief line of the liquid nitrogen tank was located at the rear. The pipe was about two fingers thick and connected to a manual release valve.

He couldn’t operate it with bare hands. Alfred removed his school jacket, wrapped it around his hand, and pulled hard without hesitation.

The valve wheel emitted a harsh grinding sound and turned slowly once.

White nitrogen instantly condensed into mist in the/air, spreading across the rooftop floor.

Anyone exposed to that mist for more than a few minutes would lose consciousness.

Alfred had no protection. After opening it, he stayed on the leeward side of the tank, his body already starting to stiffen.

Snowfinch soon found another route up.

When he arrived, the rooftop was already filled with dense white fog.

He stood at the entrance, looked at the thick mist ahead, and narrowed his eyes. “You really know how to run, brat.”

Alfred leaned against the cold curved surface of the tank and heard the faint scrape of Snowfinch’s shoes moving over the frosted ground.

Alfred remained extremely calm.

His family had always described him as someone born to kill.

Absolute calm, and an equally absolute lack of fear toward life and death.

Since childhood, he had shown clear abnormal emotional traits. If time had allowed, Alfred would have

even considered luring this man elsewhere and using other Silent Archive operatives as expendable bait.

It didn’t matter how many people died.

But there was no time.

He could only bring the man here.

Alfred clenched the folding knife between his teeth, placed both hands on the ground, and slid beneath the tank. The cold mist concealed his movement completely.

He circled to Snowfinch’s blind spot.

He raised his hand and struck directly at him.

Snowfinch laughed at his overconfidence, easily dodged, and counterattacked. The blade cut beneath Alfred’s collarbone and left a deep wound.

Realizing the ambush had failed, Alfred used the momentum to retreat. His fingers brushed against a metal valve.

The pipeline diagram he had memorized flashed through his mind.

If the shutoff valve was fully opened, liquid nitrogen would reverse into the drainage system, and that pipe led directly to the reactor below the roof.

So what will happen?

The likely result would be an explosion.

Alfred didn’t hesitate. He wrapped his sleeve around his hand and forced the shutoff valve open with all his strength.

Liquid nitrogen surged through the drainage line.

The outlet directed it straight onto the reactor above, where it spread along the inner pipe walls.

At the same time, the fire Alfred had set earlier heated the reactor exterior intensely. Inside were large amounts of tetrahydrofuran and other volatile chemicals.

The temperature had already reached a dangerous threshold.

A few seconds later, a dull explosion sounded.

The entire structure shook violently.

Snowfinch’s expression changed.

He didn’t fully understand what had happened, but he knew he couldn’t remain there long.

After a brief hesitation, he still intended to kill the boy. He wanted to see that woman suffer.

He couldn’t allow him to escape without consequence. Once a snake was disturbed, there might not be
