1000 kg aerial bomb.
Lin Yuan walked down the stairs, gradually approaching his Client along the steel plates laid on the ground.
At this moment, he was on the phone, cursing, seemingly having encountered some trouble.
Seeing him like this, Lin Yuan felt a bit awkward and could only stand by patiently waiting.
However, the Client kept receiving calls, one after another, without stopping.
It seemed that the excavator operator had an emergency and couldn't come, so the excavator was idle, and the Client was anxious to find someone to work.
But after making several calls, either no one answered, or they were working elsewhere, making it impossible to find anyone.
This made him extremely anxious; he called for over ten minutes but couldn't find anyone.
Finally, he noticed Lin Yuan beside him, stopped his phone, and asked suspiciously, “Xiao Hu, who are you?”
Lin Yuan's face twitched upon hearing this. I've been waiting for you for over ten minutes; do you take me for air?
However, despite thinking this, he politely greeted him, “Brother Cao, I'm from the real estate agency that called you earlier. You asked me to come over.”
“Oh~~ You arrived so quickly.” The Client suddenly remembered and responded politely, “Wait a moment, I'll finish what I'm doing first.”
“Alright, no problem.” Lin Yuan smiled and stood by patiently waiting.
The Client took out his phone again, pulled up his phone book, and kept dialing numbers.
The result was still the same, which made him burst into curses on the spot, “Damn it! There are so many empty vehicles usually, is it haunted today?”
“You all aren't coming, are you? There will be a time when you beg me!”
Lin Yuan stood by and waited for another ten minutes until the Client had no more calls to make, sighed helplessly, and took a step forward, “That...”
Before he could finish, the Client impatiently interrupted, “I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush yet; can't you see I'm busy?”
Hearing this, Lin Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, “No, listen to me first. I saw you were looking for an excavator operator just now, but couldn't find one. Coincidentally, I can also operate an excavator. If it's not working out, I'll do it.”
“What?” The Client was stunned on the spot, completely frozen, his eyes wide like ping-pong balls, “You can operate an excavator? Why didn't you say so earlier! Quick, hurry up, I'm rushing to finish the work.”
Looking at the Client's anxious expression, Lin Yuan felt like laughing and replied unhurriedly, “I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush yet...”
Pfft~~
The Photographer couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
The Client's face stiffened, his expression incredibly awkward. He had just said that, hadn't he?
Seemingly realizing his mistake, he quickly apologized, “I'm sorry, I'm sorry. About that house, I'll definitely buy it from your company later, alright? Until I'm satisfied.”
With this assurance, Lin Yuan didn't say anything more, smiling and nodding, “Alright! It's a deal!”
After speaking, he walked directly towards the excavator.
At this moment, the Photographer was stunned.
Holy cow!
Are you serious?
Can you really operate an excavator?
Netizens in the live stream also exclaimed in shock.
But the most nervous person was undoubtedly the Client; he was afraid Lin Yuan was lying and couldn't operate it.
After all, all excavator operators are tanned like charcoal. Someone with fair skin like him doesn't look like he can operate an excavator at all.
Under everyone's gaze, Lin Yuan strode towards the excavator and quickly climbed into the control room.
Sitting in the driver's seat, he felt incredibly familiar. Although he had never operated an excavator, he instinctively started it and unlocked the safety.
He held the gear lever with his left hand and pushed it forward slightly, extending the forearm. At the same time, he pushed his right hand forward, lowering the main arm. Then he pulled it back, retracting the bucket.
A few seconds later, a full bucket of soil was dug up, and then the bucket was raised.
He stepped on the front pedal with his left foot, the vehicle rotated, and finally, he gently put down the soil.
This seamless operation left the netizens in the live stream completely dumbfounded.
The Photographer's mouth was wide enough to fit a goose egg.
You're a real estate agent, and you can also operate an excavator?
Isn't that a bit too much?
The happiest person was the Client; seeing that Lin Yuan wasn't bragging but could really operate it, the joy on his face was completely unconcealable.
He initially thought Lin Yuan could, at most, just operate it, but seeing his operating posture, he seemed very skilled.
This was completely different from the excavator operators in his impression.
He couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it. Solving the immediate problem was more important than anything else.
However, it can only be said that he didn't understand Lin Yuan.
Could it be stable where Lin Yuan was?
The first ten minutes or so were relatively stable, and everything went smoothly.
But just then.
Suddenly!
A huge, unannounced bang instantly echoed throughout the entire underground construction site.
Boom~~~
The ground could even feel a slight tremor.
A large cloud of black smoke appeared directly in front of the excavator, swirling up into the sky.
Immediately after, there was a sound of raindrops falling.
Whoosh~~~
The Photographer and the Client bore the brunt of it. A rain of mud and stones, mixed with some iron fragments, fell from the sky.
The two of them picked up a piece blankly and looked at it, their eyes filled with fear and shock!
They were still in a state of confusion, not understanding what had happened!
It wasn't until a coughing sound came from the direction of the excavator that the two of them were startled awake.
“Cough cough~!”
Lin Yuan was seen climbing down from the excavator, his entire face black, his hair disheveled, as if he had rolled around in a coal mine.
If it weren't for his white eyes and teeth, one would think they had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
Netizens in the live stream were stunned.

—【Holy cow! What did it dig up? Did it explode? Damn, I was just taking a dump, and it scared the crap out of me.】
—【It should be a bomb, probably not a landmine. If it were an anti-tank landmine, Lin Yuan would probably be dead by now.】
—【What the heck, I've heard that excavators can dig up bombs, and Lin Yuan encountered one as soon as he got on? Is he lucky or unlucky?】
—【Scared me to death. I mean, does this house have to be sold? It's not worth risking your life.】
Seeing this, the Photographer quickly went up to help Lin Yuan, constantly asking, “Brother, are you alright?”
Lin Yuan coughed and waved his hand, “I'm fine, just choked on a few mouthfuls of thick smoke.”
The Client also ran over in a hurry, scared, “What happened? What did you dig up? Why did it explode?”
Hearing this, Lin Yuan gave him a glare, “You ask me, who do I ask? I want to ask you, what exactly is buried underneath here!”
Just now, as he was digging, he suddenly hit something hard.
He instinctively thought it was a rock and tried to lift it with the bucket.
But with one scoop...
It exploded instantly!
The windshield was shattered immediately, and a strong, pungent smell of gunpowder wafted over.
Fortunately, it only suffered a small shockwave and wasn't very powerful, but his ears are still ringing and humming.
He felt a chill down his spine just thinking about it.
Damn it!
His luck was unparalleled.
It was fortunate that the thing he dug up wasn't very powerful. If he had dug up a landmine or a powerful bomb, he might have died here today.
Due to the loud explosion just now, many fellow workers ran over to watch the commotion.
When they saw the blackened crater in front of the excavator, they all exclaimed in surprise.
At this moment, an older worker pondered and said, “This should be a bomb. I remember during World War II, this place was a main battlefield, so it's normal for there to be shells underneath. However, most of them were already dug up back then, so there shouldn't be any left, logically speaking.”
Hearing this, all the workers present changed their expressions dramatically.
Especially the other excavator operators, their faces turned pale with fear.
They couldn't continue this work. If they did, they might lose their lives here.
If they had known there were bombs here, they wouldn't have taken this job even if it killed them.
Lin Yuan's face also twitched involuntarily upon hearing this. What a scam!
At present, the work definitely couldn't continue.
Who knew if there were any more bombs underneath?
Helplessly, he had to call the police.
Not long after, the Hazardous Materials and Explosives Team arrived at the scene.
Li Team, who was leading the team, recognized Lin Yuan at a glance. Although it was their first meeting, he greeted him very politely, “Lin Yuan! It's finally my turn today, huh? Sure enough, wherever there's trouble, you're there.”
Hearing this, Lin Yuan looked distressed, “Why do I feel like you're insulting me?”
“No, no! You're the person our police station wants to see the most! Wherever you are, there are merits! I heard someone operating an excavator dug up a bomb, right? Who was that person?”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's gaze focused on Lin Yuan.
Li Team's expression froze, and he showed a strange look, “No way, that works too? Aren't you a real estate agent?”
Lin Yuan smiled bitterly and helplessly, “How would I know!”
“Well, I can only say you're quite unlucky.”
“We already investigated this area before construction. The bombs from back then were all dug up.”
“Now that it's dug so deep, there shouldn't be any bombs, logically speaking. Don't worry too much.”
After speaking, he led the other Police Officers, holding metal detectors, continuously scanning the vicinity.
They scanned for over half an hour and found nothing.
This also reassured the workers on site quite a bit.
Everyone dispersed and continued their work.
Li Team simply said hello and then packed up and left.
Lin Yuan looked at the shattered windshield and the pitch-black bucket, then returned to the excavator.
Time passed bit by bit. In less than ten minutes, the previously flat ground had been dug more than a meter deep.
But just then, an unexpected event occurred!
As Lin Yuan controlled the bucket, planning to dig a little deeper...
Suddenly!
A clang echoed throughout the entire site.
The Photographer and the Client beside him were startled by the sound and instinctively took a step back.
This was clearly the sound of metal colliding.
Hadn't they scanned just now? How could there still be metal?
Could it be another bomb?
But upon closer thought, no, that's not right. The sound just now definitely meant it hit some heavy metal.
No bomb is that big.
Lin Yuan poked his head out and looked into the pit, but couldn't see clearly.
However, he didn't dare to continue digging with the bucket, fearing any accidents.
He had no choice but to jump off the excavator and enter the pit to dig by hand.
After digging for a while, he saw a metal object covered with iron filings appear on the surface of the soil.
It seemed to be oval-shaped and very large, but he couldn't tell what it was exactly.
There was no other way, Lin Yuan had to keep digging.
Huff huff~~~
Piles of soil were thrown out.
The area around the iron lump was dug out and sunken.
Although he still couldn't see its complete form.
Just by looking at the excavated shape, he knew it was definitely not small; it was a big treasure.
Could it be that he dug up an antique?
The Client and the Photographer both approached curiously to observe, wanting to see what it was.
However, when Lin Yuan completely cleared the surrounding soil and saw the tail fin on the oval iron lump, his pupils suddenly constricted.
His brain flashed like lightning, and with a boom, it exploded in his mind.
The next moment, he scrambled and ran upwards, shouting as he ran, “Run!! Bomb!”
“Holy cow!!” The Photographer was stunned on the spot.
Bomb?
That big?
How is this a bomb?
He would believe it if someone said it was a nuclear bomb!
Just looking at its length, it was at least over a meter long, even reaching one meter, and its width was as thick as a bucket.
If something this big exploded, let alone them, probably everyone on the entire Pedestrian Street would be wiped out!
After running wildly for over ten seconds as if their lives depended on it, the three gradually stopped.
They might have been terrified just now, instinctively wanting to escape.
But after coming to their senses, their emotions gradually calmed down.
If it was really going to explode, it would have exploded when the excavator bucket hit it just now.
Thinking of this, the few of them returned to the pit and carefully observed the big treasure underneath.
Its entire body was covered in earthy yellow rust, and even the tail fin was almost bald due to the rust.
The Client stammered with a horrified expression, “Is this really a bomb? How can a bomb be this big?”
The Photographer also nodded in agreement, “Yeah, brother, did you make a mistake?”
Lin Yuan shook his head expressionlessly.
It was normal for them not to recognize it, but with his Explosives Experts skill, he immediately recognized it as an aerial bomb, which is why it was so large.
Moreover, this bomb's weight should be around 1000 kilograms.
The explosives inside alone amounted to at least 100 kilograms of TNT.
Just thinking about how he unknowingly smashed it with the bucket earlier, he felt cold sweat break out on his forehead.
He had just walked through the gates of hell.
And because of that hit just now, he noticed a clear dent on the bomb!
The most infuriating thing was that, through his observation, this aerial bomb was severely deformed.
It had been buried deep underground before, so it was safe and sound.
But if it were lifted, and handled improperly, it could very likely explode on the spot!!
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan suddenly panicked.
After all, this was the city center.
What would be the result if a 1000-kilogram aerial bomb exploded?
