108: I feel restless if I don't do something fun every day!
Regiment Commander Hu stared at Su Yun as if he had seen a ghost, on the verge of tears.
Is the latter really a decent young man? A decent post-00s?
He had never seen a hand grenade with such power, capable of causing such a sensation!
Even a mortar was almost there; it was comparable to a field artillery gun...
Zheng Jianfeng helped Regiment Commander Hu up and said, "Regiment Commander, please calm down."
"Our vegetable garden can be replanted, and our Cookhouse Squad can be rebuilt!"
"Currently, the most urgent task is to figure out the true cause of the collapse."
Logically, a single hand grenade should absolutely not be able to cause a small hillside to collapse.
However... Zheng Jianfeng guessed that there must be something underneath the sweet potato field.
Either that, or the hand grenade hit some critical supporting structures underground.
Regiment Commander Hu nodded, "Sigh... Let's use an excavator to dig and see..."
Blaming Su Yun and his group was not entirely fair.
Although this kid had been causing trouble ever since he came to the Steel Regiment, who's to say he hadn't done anything good?
If he hadn't unearthed the nuclear bomb fragments earlier, if he hadn't accidentally discovered the secret within the fragments.
One can only say... it's a mix of joy and sorrow!
Regiment Commander Hu gave the order, and the engineers drove excavators out to begin digging at the collapse site... Boom!
The engineering excavation work continued until evening, as darkness fell.
The Steel Regiment soldiers were fully immersed in the excavation.
Su Yun, Wang Fan, and even Chang Wei were also helping.
— [Alas! My Brother Su is truly bringing trouble upon himself!]
— [If he doesn't stir up trouble for a day, he feels uncomfortable all over!]
— [What exactly will be down there?]
— [According to the law of conservation of energy, a single hand grenade absolutely cannot collapse a small hillside!]
— [Place your bets, place your bets! Any brothers want to bet? I'll go first! I bet it's an atomic bomb!]
— [Speaking of which... where are the Experts and museum curators?]
With the camera set up by the dirt pile, the fans and netizens in the livestream room were discussing animatedly.
They mentioned the Qingbei University Archaeological Experts, as well as the curators of various local museums.
At this moment, they had already created a small group chat to share information.
"I've had my assistant book the latest flight! I should arrive around noon tomorrow!"
"Our times are similar! See you all tomorrow, good night!"
"..."
The Experts and curators boarded their flights, putting their phones on airplane mode... At ten o'clock at night, the night was deep.
The soldiers were exhausted, panting heavily and covered in sweat.
At this time, the Cookhouse Squad Leader, with his team, distributed the ordered takeout one by one.
Seeing this, Zheng Jianfeng shouted, "Attention, everyone! Stop work! Eat!"
Whoosh... The soldiers lined up in an orderly fashion, and after receiving their bento boxes, they squatted wherever they could and began to devour their food.
Su Yun and Wang Fan also received a portion, and Chang Wei also had his milk bottle.
Wang Fan ate while saying, "Brother... I think... we should consider moving to another place, right?"
Su Yun was surprised: "What do you mean?"
He hadn't expected Fatty Wang Fan's thoughts to align with his own.
Wang Fan grimaced: "Brother, I feel uneasy. I'm worried that one day we'll pick up a bomb again while scavenging!"
Scavenging outside was fine, but scavenging inside the Military Region greatly increased the probability of picking up a bomb!
Su Yun nodded silently, in agreement.
Indeed... they scavenged not for great wealth, but for stability.
They originally thought the Military Region would accommodate them and that there wouldn't be any surprises.
Now it seems... the Military Region is even more dangerous... "Alas..."
Su Yun sighed: "Speaking of which, I'm still a safety publicity ambassador."
"I always feel somewhat unworthy of this title."
No, he must correct everyone's misunderstanding of him.
— [Pfft ha ha ha! Brother Su, you still remember you're a safety publicity ambassador!]
— [Honestly, Brother Su's reverse publicity caught everyone off guard!]
— [As a fellow angler! Now when I go fishing, if I can't reel it in, I immediately cut the line!]
— [Don't ask why! Just say it's because I'm afraid of catching a bomb...]
— [It seems everyone is benefiting greatly! It's not in vain that Brother Su personally experimented for us!]
After dinner.
Because a regimental friendship match was held today, and they had been digging dirt from evening until late at night.
Regiment Commander Hu ordered the soldiers to rest early and continue tomorrow morning.
The soldiers returned to their dormitories to rest.
Meanwhile, Su Yun and Wang Fan proactively sought out Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Jianfeng.
Su Yun spoke with a bitter smile: "Big Brother Zheng, I'm truly sorry for today."
"We've caused you trouble again..."
Zheng Jianfeng waved his hand: "If you count it, our Military Region also bears some responsibility."
"Who would have thought there would be a hand grenade in the sweet potato field?"
Looking on the bright side, Su Yun dug it out today, so no one will get hurt in the future.
Su Yun said: "Big Brother Zheng, I think the dirt pile will be dug up by tomorrow."
"After we finish digging for you, my brother and I will have to say goodbye..."
"You're leaving?"
Zheng Jianfeng frowned slightly, looking very surprised.
Indeed, he hadn't expected Su Yun to proactively suggest leaving.
"Is it because of today's incident?" Zheng Jianfeng asked.
Su Yun shook his head: "Big Brother Zheng, please don't overthink it."
"You know, we're participating in a show, and it's not appropriate for us to keep freeloading off you here."
In reality, this was a reason, and Zheng Jianfeng understood it without saying much more.
He just smiled and said, "Alright!"
"A true talent will shine wherever he goes. I believe in your ability, Brother Su Yun."
...The next morning, as dawn was just breaking.
The engineers drove excavators and began their digging work.
Su Yun, after a simple wash-up, also woke up Fatty Wang Fan early.
"Brother... starting work so early in the morning?"
"Hurry up, don't dawdle. Finish early, and we'll leave today."
When he woke up today, his right eyelid was twitching uncontrollably.
It wasn't even seven in the morning yet, and the system hadn't given him a fortune prediction...
In short, Su Yun believed: something big was definitely going to happen today!
He threw himself into work.
Fatty Wang Fan, lacking exercise, gave up after just a few digs and sat aside.
The nearly ten million fans and netizens in the livestream room watched with great amusement.
— [Brother Su must be a hexagonal warrior, right? It seems there's nothing he can't do!]
— [Are Brother Su and his group leaving the Military Region today? Where are they going?]
— [Why don't you come to our place? It's not far from Longhai City... there's an abandoned house that needs cleaning.]
— [How desperate are you, buddy? You want to clean an abandoned house and you're asking Brother Su instead of a cleaner?]
— [Is Brother Su someone you can afford to invite? You really dare to ask!]
The excavation work continued, and they could already see the vegetables in the vegetable garden that were buried under the dirt pile.
Seven o'clock sharp.
The system's notification sound rang precisely in Su Yun's mind.
[Ding! Check-in successful! It's another day full of surprises!]
[Today's check-in reward: Intelligence +1, Height +1!]
[Today's fortune prediction: Minor auspiciousness, minor auspiciousness!]
