At that moment, Tao Xi, who was standing on the city wall, received another phone call.
"What are you guys doing? You've been letting these scoundrels keep attacking the inner city. Do you want to quit?" Yuan Bing's roar came from the other end of the phone.
"Yes, yes, Minister Yuan, I'll have someone fire right away!" Tao Xi replied hastily, his face filled with fear.
"If I don't hear any gunshots within a minute, you're discharged from the garrison!" With that, Yuan Bing hung up the phone.
Tao Xi angrily hung up the phone, then waved to the people around him: "All of you, grab your guns! From now on, no more shouting, just shoot!"
The other team members next to them also looked bitter. They really didn't want to fire. If they offended the people from the outer city, they would become the public enemy of the outer city.
If the people of the outer city escape this disaster, then the people of the inner city will face their merciless and furious retaliation. There's no doubt about it, and as the lackeys of the inner city, they certainly won't have a good end.
Tao Xi took his gun and walked up to the city wall, firing a shot at the group of people who were pushing and shoving the iron gate.
After a gunshot rang out, a person immediately fell to the ground, and the people next to him were so frightened that they quickly retreated, all glaring angrily at Tao Xi who was standing on the city wall.
"I've already given you a chance, but you didn't take it. Now I'll fire a shot every five seconds. If you don't want to die, get out of my way!"
Several more people were shot dead. The people in the outer city had no weapons and could only retreat.
Soon, no one remained within a hundred-meter radius. Han Wen stood there, looking at the empty space, and was immediately delighted.
"Lu Yuan, I'm going to press the switch now!"
"Alright, we can't hesitate any longer! Success or failure hinges on this!" Lu Yuan said firmly.
…
With a deafening roar, the entire earth seemed to tremble.
The equipment and personnel on the city wall all looked panicked. They didn't know what was happening, but they felt the ground beneath their feet tremble.
Then they felt as if they could no longer exert any strength in their legs, and the city wall immediately collapsed forward. They cried out and tried to escape, but to no avail. They could only collapse to the ground along with the city wall.
Smoke and dust billowed up, and a huge shockwave knocked everyone in the outer city to the ground. Countless people scattered and ran, thinking that an earthquake had struck.
At this moment, not only the people in the outer city felt this huge tremor, but even the people in the underground shelters of the inner city were affected by the explosion.
The entire inner city was in chaos. They had no idea what had happened in the outer city recently. Some people curiously came out of the underground shelter and looked out, only to see thick smoke and dust rising into the sky.
The once towering city walls at the boundary between the inner and outer cities are now shrouded in smoke and dust, obscuring their outlines.
Han Wen, who pressed the switch, was also thrown off the car by the shockwave. After falling to the ground, he felt a throbbing pain in his calf. He tried to twist it, but found that he seemed to be pinned down by something.
He turned around and saw a huge rock pressing down on his leg. Fortunately, the rock wasn't very heavy, and it only caused some superficial injuries without damaging his bones or muscles.
Han Wen covered his mouth and nose, trying to look into the distance, but the thick smoke and dust made it difficult for him to open his eyes.
In the midst of the chaos, Han Wen felt a vibration in her pocket, so she quickly picked up her phone and pressed the answer button.
"Sister Han, did you press the switch?"
Han Wen coughed violently twice, then said, "Yes, I didn't expect the thunderbolts to be so powerful. Even people a hundred meters away were affected! Now that the inner city walls have collapsed, should we escape into the inner city?"
Lu Yuan stared at the screen, watching the air pressure spreading outward from the inner city. The air pressure generated by this explosion was much, much greater than that of a hurricane.
The black whirlwind on the computer screen, representing the hurricane, is slowly dissipating, while a new pressure is gradually rising.
Old Qin excitedly said, "President Lu, we did it! The air pressure in the inner city has started to rise, and the black fog is slowly dissipating!"
Lu Yuan quickly told Han Wen about it, and Han Wen was stunned for a few seconds after hearing it.
"You mean we saved millions of people in the outer city this time?"
"Haha, that should be it. Now you can check if the black mist has dissipated or not."
After hanging up the phone, the dust began to settle slowly, and the surrounding view became clearer. The once towering city walls were now a pile of ruins, with countless people wailing and screaming on them.
Upon realizing what was happening, the outer city personnel immediately stood up and rushed towards the inner city when they saw the city wall collapse.
Some of the surviving garrison members were unable to stop them. Han Wen, clutching his aching legs, slowly stood up. He saw countless people passing by him, rushing towards the inner city. This city wall had blocked them for far too long.
Life in the outer city was far too difficult; the days of not having enough to eat or wear made them yearn for the inner city. However, when the city wall that had been blocking their way was blown up, they could no longer contain their impulses and began to rush towards the inner city. When they encountered any luxurious houses, they rushed in and looted everything that was edible and usable.
