Enduring the stench of decay, Yao Shunyu used a branch to hook the backpack up. He hadn't expected it to be so heavy.
But when they opened it, everyone present was stunned. The ordinary-looking backpack concealed a surprisingly spacious interior, lined with a special waterproof material. Once they peeled it open, they found neat rows of blocks packed inside, each slightly larger than a bar of soap.

Li Bai carefully unwrapped one of the blocks, confirming her suspicion. She let out a slow breath and turned to face the anxious group. "Thank goodness. It's plastic explosive. This type is very stable."
