Li Zijian was confused when he received the call. He was talking to Lu Ban about the earthquake, but Lu Ban asked him to blow up the house?
Is there any connection between the two?
Besides, Lu Ban should be in the hospital now. Wouldn't he be blown up by the explosion?
"Don't worry about it, just blow it up and it's done."
Lu Ban didn't give him time to be confused and just yelled.
Li Zijian immediately contacted the leader of the blasting team who was a little panicked because of the earthquake.
"Is it the demolition team?"
"Yes, that's right, Boss. We didn't cause this earthquake. We haven't done anything yet!"
The team leader immediately distanced himself from the matter. He hadn't even started the bomb yet, so why was the hospital shaking?
"You need to explode right now, just explode as much as you can."
Li Zijian seemed to be infected by Lu Ban as well and shouted loudly into the phone.
"But in the current situation, if there is an explosion, the shopping mall next door may also be affected... Hello?"
The team leader heard that it seemed like Li Zijian was still talking to someone else on the phone and he didn't understand what was going on.
Fortunately, Li Zijian responded quickly.
"Don't worry, we just bought the land next door, so feel free to bomb it."
"Okay, got it!"
When the team leader heard Li Zijian's words, he felt relieved and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.
I have been working in the blasting business for so many years, and I am usually very nervous and cautious, for fear that I might explode the building next door and have to pay compensation.
Now someone actually let me let go and bomb.
It’s so cool!
He immediately called his brothers, checked the controller circuit, and then pressed the starter switch.
Electrical signals flowed into the hospital through the lines. The melted cement could not stop these crystallizations of human technological civilization. The fuse of the high-energy explosives was triggered, and then some kind of power beyond the mundane was ignited.
Some people say that the symbol of human civilization is learning to use fire, and explosives are undoubtedly a symbol of a further step in civilization. This flame, which is born from nature, is far stronger than fire and is the ultimate in violence.
Boom——
A low roar erupted from the crumbling hospital building. In addition to the earthquake, another more soul-stirring and devastating force was brewing.
Boom——
The main load-bearing walls and supporting columns were blown up at the first moment. The reinforced concrete structure broke in an instant under the impact of the huge force. The house, which lost these supports, began to disintegrate and collapse under the action of gravity. This was a destruction that followed the laws of nature and the destruction of human wisdom.
Smoke and dust rose, and you could see that the entire building was slowly falling.
The house that had taken many people a long time and effort to build came to an end in an instant.
The melted cement, the countless open eyes and the bloody mouth were all destroyed, tortured and torn apart by the power of the explosion.
Some kind of painful wails were mixed in with the roar of the explosion, but no one knew what was going on.
The shopping mall next door was also affected. The flying rocks hit the glass doors and windows of the empty shops, smashing them to pieces and creating a mess.
But perhaps after a period of time, a new landmark will be built here that was demolished, restoring its former prosperity.
Just like the destruction and rebirth of nature, tonight, one existence dies, but another is being conceived.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the leader of the demolition team heard a cry, which was the sound that best represented hope in the human world.
He saw that in the collapsed building, there was an extremely conspicuous object falling along with the rubble.
"elevator?"
The team leader was stunned. He didn't expect that the elevator, which was supposed to be on the first floor, had reached the top floor at some point and was now falling down along with the collapsed hospital.
Clang——
Clang——
Clang——
The iron box fell to the ground and spun several times before finally stopping.
No one dared to approach.
"The earthquake seems to have stopped?"
The team leader noticed that the previous shaking of the ground had stopped at this moment, as if his explosion had neutralized the earthquake.
He heard the sound of sirens and fire trucks in the distance, and his face turned pale.
"You will testify later that it was Secretary Li who asked me to blow it up!"
He immediately spoke to his men.
Half an hour later, when the dust settled at the explosion site, people dared to walk into the ruins of the hospital.
The bricks and tiles were scattered all over the ground. Some had strange shapes, looking like a person, while others were so twisted that they looked like postmodern sculptures.
In the dark night, everything looks hideous and terrifying.
The strong lights used at the construction site illuminated the entire hospital, and nothing could be hidden.
Soon, everyone focused their attention on the elevator.
Not just because it was the only thing left in its entirety from the explosion.
Bang——
Also because it had been making strange noises from within since a while ago.
It was as if someone was banging on the wall inside.
The firefighters approached cautiously, and three of them surrounded the elevator, fearing that some monster might emerge from inside.
Bang——
There was another knocking sound, and the sound became stronger.
The firefighters couldn't help but shudder.
At this moment, a sound of metal friction suddenly came from the elevator car.
Crunch——
The tightly closed door of the elevator was slowly opened.
You can see that it is a human hand.
A man was opening the elevator door and climbing out of the overturned elevator car.
It’s Lu Ban.
"Are you okay?"
On the side, Li Zijian, who was supervising the scene, originally thought that Lu Ban was going to sacrifice his life, but he didn't expect that he actually hid in the elevator car and escaped.
"It was actually pretty serious. Maybe only three or four broken bones and seven or eight ruptures of internal organs."
Lu Ban looked a little weak, but had no obvious external injuries.
"What time is it?"
His cell phone was just smashed and is now turned off.
"A little after four in the morning."
Li Zijian didn’t know whether he should give Lu Ban some water or call an ambulance?
“Is that so?”
Lu Ban said something that puzzled Li Zijian. The secretary thought about it and asked another question.
"Do you want to lie down in the ambulance?"
"Not really. Give me some fresh air and everything will be fine when the sun comes out."
Lu Ban sat next to the sedan chair like a stone statue.
Indeed, with his tattered clothes and sturdy body, he does look like a classical sculpture.
"?"
Li Zijian didn't understand.
Lu Ban did not continue speaking.
If I talk any more, I won't be able to swallow the grass in my mouth.
His body is now almost entirely filled with various green plants, occupying his internal organs, trying to heal the wounds, which are not only the external injuries caused by the elevator fall, but also the pollution caused by the previous erosion by the cement.
However, there was no sun yet, and the grass in Lu Ban's body could only barely repair his fatal wounds, preventing him from dying suddenly from the chain reaction.
He looked at the ruins around him. The broken walls and ruins were like the wilderness of a deserted city. The indifferent and cold words of the system emerged from the dust.
