The cave exploded!

Lin Yuan chuckled, "I really am here to sell a house. If you don't believe me, ask him!"

Director Yu, who was nearby, quickly nodded, "It's true."

"This..." Director Yang was stunned, feeling like his brain wasn't working anymore.

If you're selling a house, then sell a house. Why come to a graveyard?

Who sells a house like this?

However, now was not the time to dwell on this question. The most urgent matter was to ascertain whether Lin Yuan's claim about the gold thieves was true.

Director Yang called in a few Experts to understand the detailed situation.

When they heard that the gas being emitted was very likely hydrogen cyanide, their expressions all changed drastically.

Without hesitation, they put on their gas masks and protective suits.

This stuff was no joke; once severely poisoned, they wouldn't even have the qualifications to be rescued at a Hospital.

To further confirm whether there was really poison inside, the Experts took out a detector and tested the air at the entrance of the tomb chamber.

Within a few minutes, the results were out.

It was exactly as Lin Yuan had guessed: it was indeed hydrogen cyanide gas, and the concentration was beyond their imagination.

If it was like this outside, there was no need to mention the inside.

Director Yang frowned with a solemn expression, muttering, "According to this, it's highly possible that there's a gold theft gang down there? It seems we'll have to send someone down to check!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yuan immediately stopped him, interrupting, "No! You can't go down."

"Why?" Director Yang asked, looking puzzled.

"Although I'm not sure, Director Yang, if you go down now, there's a high chance of an accident. Think about it, where did the previous batch of gold thieves go? They've been down there for over an hour, and by rights, they should have come up for air by now, but..."

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone's expressions tightened, and they all involuntarily gasped.

Although Lin Yuan didn't finish his sentence, everyone guessed what he meant, and Director Yang even exclaimed unconsciously, "You mean, they might already be poisoned?"

"Yes!" Lin Yuan slowly explained, "The concentration at the cave entrance just now already exceeded 0.01 milligrams, and there's no ventilation below, so the concentration might be unimaginably high."

"You should know, once the concentration of hydrogen cyanide reaches 0.3 milligrams per liter in the air, just one breath can cause immediate fatal poisoning, and a gas mask won't hold up!"

After listening to Lin Yuan's analysis, Director Yang's heart trembled, and he felt a tingling sensation on his scalp!

That was close!

It made sense, too.

The people below had been there for so long; by rights, they should have come up for air, but they hadn't. What this meant was self-evident.

If Lin Yuan hadn't warned them just now, and they had rashly gone down to investigate.

The consequences...

Unthinkable!!

This was a highly poisonous cave.

Once someone was poisoned and fainted inside, there would be no way to rescue them.

Not to mention whether anyone would be willing to go down, even if they did, how would he come up?

The mine shaft was not ventilated, and the poisonous gas wouldn't dissipate quickly, so anyone going down for rescue would inevitably faint again.

Unless a high-power blower was used to blow air into it and disperse the poisonous gas.

But even so, it would certainly take a lot of time to blow all the poisonous gas out from the bottom of the mine.

By then, if the poisonous gas flowed out, the fainted people would probably be beyond dead.

This wasn't rescue; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it murder.

In short, going down rashly would inevitably lead to a major incident.

Thinking of this, Director Yang's brows were already furrowed into a 'river' shape, and he asked unwillingly, "Then what should we do? Are we just going to watch from outside?"

The other few Experts also sighed, expressing their helplessness.

They were also afraid of death.

Going down in this situation was not much different from seeking death.

In fact, this was also one of the important reasons why 'cave washing' was illegal.

Lin Yuan looked at Director Yang's worried face and calmly replied, "Director Yang, you might not know, hydrogen cyanide gas, besides being highly poisonous, also has another terrifying aspect."

"What aspect?" Director Yang asked curiously.

"Low boiling point, and it's explosive!"

"Once the hydrogen cyanide gas content in the air reaches 5.6% to 12.8%, an explosion is possible."

"I'm not sure how high the concentration is below right now. If we go down rashly, we won't just face the risk of poisoning, but also the crisis of an explosion."

Stunned!!

Director Yang's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, and he exclaimed, "It can explode too? My heavens!! These people are too bold! Then what do we do? We can't go in, and guarding outside is meaningless. Are we just going to leave it?"

Lin Yuan smiled helplessly, "There are two methods now. The first method is to open a few more mine entrances to let the poisonous gas dissipate. You don't need to worry too much about environmental pollution; if there's wind, hydrogen cyanide disperses very quickly and won't remain nearby to cause long-term pollution. However, doing this might waste a lot of time; just locating and finding the mine shafts is very difficult."

"The second method is simpler: use a blower. But it also requires a lot of time. What I'm most worried about is that the gold thieves might already be poisoned and unconscious. If they're not rescued in time, they might die!!"

After hearing these two options, Director Yang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "If they really die in there, then they brought it upon themselves. I can't sacrifice my Police Officer to save them."

"But if they're not dead, I must arrest them and bring them to justice!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

A muffled rumble suddenly came, and the ground shook.

Many people lost their footing and fell to the ground.

Everyone was startled by this sudden tremor and looked around in confusion, thinking an explosion had occurred somewhere.

After steadying himself, Lin Yuan recalled the muffled sound and involuntarily gasped.

He immediately shouted to Director Yang, "Quick!! Everyone run!! Get down the mountain quickly! That explosion just now seemed to be from inside the mine."

Upon hearing this, everyone's hair stood on end in fright. Without thinking, they rushed down the mountain in a swarm.

The instinct for survival and the desire to live completely erupted at this moment.

But to everyone's surprise, the ones running at the very front were those few children.

They were small, often climbed mountains, were very agile, and knew the paths well, leading the Police Officer down the mountain.

During their escape, another muffled sound and tremor came from beneath their feet.

At this point, everyone realized that the explosion really was coming from underground.

Recalling what Lin Yuan had said earlier about a possible explosion.

They all turned pale with fright, scrambling frantically.

On the dark hillside, they couldn't see the path at all; to be precise, they were running in a panic, not picking their way.

They fell and stumbled countless times, not caring about the injuries on their bodies, and continued to run down the mountain.

Such an exaggerated scene would make anyone who didn't know think a war had broken out.

The netizens in the live stream were also stunned by this scene, all holding their breath, palms sweating. It was too thrilling!!

When everyone had escaped the mountain and arrived near the villa.

Boom~~~

An explosion that shook the heavens and earth rang out in everyone's ears.

Immediately after, the ground shook, feeling as if an earthquake had occurred, with the world spinning.

The birds on the mountaintop were startled.

Whoosh~~~

Suddenly, a large flock of birds flapped their wings and flew into the distance.

Rats, rabbits, and other animals in the jungle fled frantically as if their lives depended on it.

However, strangely enough.

Despite feeling a strong explosion, besides a sound and the ground shaking, it was as if nothing had happened, and peace returned.

But just then, the Photographer, his face full of horror, eyes wide, trembled as he pointed to a spot on the mountaintop, stammering, "Bro, look there!!!"
