Emergency action

Lin Yuan didn't dare to imagine, so he immediately pulled out his phone and dialed the police.

Li Team, who was on his way back, suddenly received another call. He thought it was about the previous alarm and casually replied that it had already been handled.

But when he heard that this time they had dug up a super large aerial bomb, he was so scared that his phone dropped onto the car.

He was completely tense, and tremblingly instructed the driver, "Quick, quick! Go back, something big has happened!"

Upon hearing this, the driver immediately turned the car around and headed back to the construction site.

At this moment, Li Team was in the car, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles, his expression blank, his eyes staring forward, yet feeling very empty.

His thoughts had drifted somewhere unknown, and he kept praying that this was a false alarm.

A 1000-kilogram aerial bomb!

What kind of concept is that!

In all his years of work, he had never dealt with a bomb this big.

They had clearly detected the area just now, so why didn't they find it? Was it buried too deep?

Impossible, impossible!

Li Team frantically told himself that this was a false alarm.

After getting out of the car, he immediately opened the car door and jogged all the way to the construction site.

But when he saw the huge oval object in the pit and used an instrument to confirm that it contained a large amount of explosive components, his eyes almost popped out, and his face instantly turned pale.

Looking at the massive, iron-lump-filled object in front of him, Li Team's mind was shaken, and his brain went blank.

The Client next to him quietly asked, "Police Comrade, what do you say? Is this really a bomb? How can a bomb be this big?"

Li Team slowly nodded upon hearing this and replied with a solemn tone, "That's right, it's a bomb!"

Hiss~~

As soon as these words came out, the Client was so scared that he took several steps back, his eyes filled with fear.

The thought that this was the construction site he was in charge of almost scared him out of his wits.

Tears instantly welled up, and he grabbed Li Team, crying excitedly, "Police Comrade, this is no joke! Please help, quickly get rid of it! If something happens, I'll be finished!"

Feeling the Client's tugging, Li Team remained expressionless, his eyes fixed on the bomb. At this moment, his mind was in a mess.

He had originally held a glimmer of hope, thinking that Lin Yuan and the others had made a mistake.

Who would have thought it was actually real!

1000 kilograms, oh my god!

As a professional, he knew better than anyone how terrifying the power of an aerial bomb of this magnitude would be once it exploded.

In this day and age, such aerial bomb explosions are rarely seen in China.

Even on television, what is seen is merely an image; one cannot truly experience its destructive power or have an intuitive understanding of the explosion's yield and force.

Take an ordinary 155mm howitzer shell, for example.

It weighs about 45 kilograms, is less than a meter long, and contains about 8 kilograms of explosives.

Once it explodes, it can instantly collapse a reinforced concrete rural house.

The direct killing radius of the explosion can reach 30 meters, the fragment radius can reach 60 meters, and the maximum strike range can extend to 360 meters.

The destructive power and influence of such an explosion, combined with an airburst fuse, cover an area larger than a football field.

Even at the edge, the strong shockwave will make people feel as if their internal organs are being churned.

Such terrifying lethality is only the power of a 45-kilogram howitzer shell.

But what if it's a 1000-kilogram aerial bomb!

Although he didn't know how much high explosive was inside, he figured it had to be at least one or two hundred kilograms!

If it were to explode directly, the sheer explosive energy generated would be enough to pulverize everyone and all buildings within several thousand square meters!

Not only that, but the fragments generated by the explosion would fly out at extremely high speeds, and people a kilometer away could be hit by fragments and die on the spot.

As for the shockwave, that's even more exaggerated; spreading outwards from the center, it's likely that people two kilometers away would still feel the aftershocks.

It's important to know that this is the Pedestrian Street, and there are high-rise buildings everywhere nearby.

The shockwave cannot dissipate in the air and will inevitably injure a large number of civilians.

Just these three points alone are enough to cause everyone a lot of trouble, not to mention the subsequent damage from the explosion fireball, shock damage, and toxic gas damage.

It's no exaggeration to say that if it had accidentally exploded just now,

Then tomorrow's international news would definitely feature this!

Thinking of this, Li Team didn't dare to think further, but instead looked at Lin Yuan with a shocked expression and swallowed hard.

Everyone said this guy was strange, and he thought it was just a joke.

But today, he truly gained some insight.

This wasn't just strange; it was life-threatening.

Normally, dealing with smaller unexploded bombs was not an issue for them, but dealing with one this large was like an old woman riding in a sedan chair for the first time.

Especially when he noticed a deep indentation on the bomb, Li Team's eyelids twitched, and he said with a wry smile, "Lin Yuan, you're really lucky to be alive. Do you know you almost lost your life just now?"

Lin Yuan also nodded with lingering fear, "How would I know? Didn't you just inspect it? Why is there still a bomb?"

Regarding this question, Li Team was also full of doubts: "This location is already about ten meters deep from the ground, right? How can there be such a large aerial bomb down there? Could it be that someone deliberately buried it?"

Lin Yuan shook his head and expressed his guess, "Our country didn't have such large aerial bombs before, so it definitely wasn't our own people's."

"The reason it appeared here, I reckon, is that the soil in this area used to be very loose. When it fell from the sky, it didn't explode, but because of its immense weight and the kinetic energy from its high-altitude fall, it's possible it directly smashed fifteen meters underground."

After hearing this explanation, Li Team nodded thoughtfully, "Your explanation makes sense. No wonder the surface bombs were dug out, but this one was buried so deep."

Although he roughly understood why the bomb was there, it didn't mean he could relax.

Just because it wasn't exploding now didn't mean it wouldn't explode; the explosives inside it were always present.

On the contrary, due to the bomb being buried underground for a long time and corroding, the entire bomb was deformed, and its internal components would age, becoming more sensitive and prone to explosion.

Plus, after Lin Yuan's shovel hit it just now, it was a miracle it didn't explode.

The netizens in the live broadcast room were all excited to see such a large bomb.

[Popularity] +1+1+1+1

— [Awesome! I thought it was already amazing to shovel a bomb while digging, but you actually dug up a 1000 kg aerial bomb. I want to know if the destructive power of this thing is close to that of a small nuclear bomb?]

— [Far from it. Nuclear bombs and aerial bombs, though only one character apart, are worlds apart. Let's put it this way: a nuclear bomb about the same size as the one in front of us could wipe out the entire West Sea City. While an aerial bomb's power is also terrifying, it's still a significant gap compared to a nuclear bomb.]

— [I've noticed that many people really watch too much TV; they don't even take a 1000 kg aerial bomb seriously, saying things like 'just hide behind a wall.' Are you kidding? Forget hiding behind a wall, even hiding behind a building won't help; your internal organs will be shattered.]

— [This is the Pedestrian Street, oh my god, how terrifying. If this explodes, how many people will die? I can't even imagine! Lin Yuan is really unlucky; why did he show off? Now, it's good, the construction is completely halted!]

After understanding the situation of the bomb, Li Team immediately made a call back to the police station.

Director Yang was busy handling matters when he suddenly saw the phone on his desk ring. Seeing it was Li Team calling, he showed a puzzled expression.

Didn't this guy go out on a call to deal with a bomb? Did he run into a problem?

"Hello! Old Li, what's up?"

"Director Yang, it's not good, Lin Yuan... Lin Yuan, he... dug up a big one!"

"Lin Yuan? Dug up?" Director Yang was stunned, "What do you mean? Isn't Lin Yuan a real estate agent? Why is he digging the ground for no reason?"

Li Team replied with a wry smile, "No... he's helping someone operate an excavator, and then he dug up a 1000-kilogram aerial bomb!"

Pfft~~~

"What did you say!"

Director Yang had just taken a sip of tea when he heard this sentence and violently spat out the tea, his eyes wide, his tone filled with disbelief.

"Aerial bomb? 1000 kilograms? And Lin Yuan dug it up? Holy crap!! Are you kidding me?"

In his excitement, he unconsciously blurted out a curse word.

Hearing this, Li Team looked distressed. To be honest, such a thing was indeed a bit unbelievable.

But it happened anyway, so he could only bite the bullet and explain, "It's true, otherwise I wouldn't be calling you. The most headache-inducing problem now is that this bomb was dug up on the construction site on Pedestrian Street, and there are commercial buildings everywhere around it."

Boom~~~

Li Team's words were like someone striking a gong next to his ear; his head felt like it was going to explode!

He couldn't afford to think much now, so he immediately shouted into the phone, "Okay, I understand. You wait at the scene, I'll arrange for people to come over right away."

After speaking, he directly hung up the phone and hurried to the office door, shouting, "Xiao Wang, come to my office."

"Alright~~"

A young Police Officer not far away quickly ran over and asked, "Director, is there something?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his expression immediately changed to one of surprise.

Because he noticed that Director Yang's face was extremely solemn at this moment, as if a layer of frost had settled upon it.

Could it be that something big had happened again?

Before he could think further, Director Yang ordered in a deep voice, "Immediately call 120 and tell them to prepare ten ambulances to be on standby near the Pedestrian Street construction site."

"Also call the fire department and tell them to send fire trucks to the Pedestrian Street to be on standby for firefighting."

"Secondly, call the traffic police department and tell them to absolutely block all roads near the Pedestrian Street, set up roadblocks within a three-kilometer radius, and prohibit anyone or any vehicle from approaching."

"Finally, immediately gather all Police Officers in the bureau for a meeting in the command hall!"

As a series of commands were issued, Xiao Wang was stunned.

The shock on his face lingered, and even after Director Yang finished speaking, he remained frozen in place.

Until Director Yang frowned and reminded in a deep voice, "Xiao Wang?"

"Ah, um... Yes!! Director Yang, I'll go give the orders right away!!"

After coming to his senses, Xiao Wang's face was flustered, and his mind was already in chaos. Although he didn't know what had happened,

He knew that something enormous must have occurred.
