However, when he saw Liu Qian standing in front of the door with her head covered, he immediately got up and went over.
"Oh dear! How could you be so careless! Let me see how you are."
Liu Qian quickly waved her hand: "It's nothing! I just bumped into something, it's nothing serious! I'll just put on a band-aid in a bit!"
Zhou Tong looked at the other person with a pained expression: "Sigh, the wind has been a bit unstable lately, you should be careful! Look how thin you've gotten! Eat more in the future!"
Hearing Zhou Tong's caring words, Liu Qian felt a warm glow in her heart, and all her previous negative emotions vanished.
"Yes! I'm fine! I'll be more careful next time!"
Zhou Tong nodded: "Okay! Go bandage it up, I'll go see who it is!"
After saying that, Zhou Tong walked towards the gate.
As soon as the door opened, I heard one of my team members standing outside. He was wearing a dark blue raincoat, and it was hard to tell whether the water on his face was sweat or rain.
"What happened?"
When Zhou Tong saw the other person, he realized that something had happened.
Sure enough, the other party said something that made Zhou Tong feel like his scalp was about to explode.
"Brother Zhou, something terrible has happened! The dome over Fortress Three has been ripped off! The ripped dome panels struck the roofs of several other nearby fortresses, and now more than five fortresses are damaged! Several other fortresses have also sustained varying degrees of damage!"
"What? The dome has been ripped open? When did this happen? Why weren't we prepared for this sooner? Why weren't the ripped dome panels secured with steel cables?"
The other party stammered and dared not utter a sound. Zhou Tong asked coldly, "Speak!"
"It's...it's a defective product!"
"Damn it! Go and find out which manufacturer produced this! Why were these products shipped out without proper inspection? Don't they know these things involve human lives!"
"This...this is a big deal, involving many people! Actually, it was all caused by Jin Shu's people infiltrating and embezzling! The management cut corners, and the workers below were unaware, which led to this incident!"
"Damn it! Don't let anyone in this line get away! Arrest them all!"
The other party quickly nodded: "Brother Zhou, everything is under control! Now what do you think we should do? The damage to the fortress is still spreading! Should we send troops to assist in the repairs?"
"Nonsense! Do I even need to explain? Of course, we should immediately dispatch troops to assist with the repairs! And, be careful!"
After giving a few more instructions, Zhou Tong immediately returned to his room and spoke to Liu Qian, who was bandaging him.
"I have to go out for a bit! I don't know when I'll be back, so please take good care of the children at home!"
Liu Qian looked up at Zhou Tong and asked softly, "Um... be careful!"
Zhou Tong was slightly taken aback, then casually waved his hand: "Okay! I know! Alright! I'm leaving now!"
After saying that, Zhou Tong turned around and left the room, leaving Liu Qian alone in the empty room.
Liu Qian covered her still-unbandaged wound with her hand as she watched Zhou Tong drive away, feeling a deep sense of unease.
Zhou Tong continued driving outwards. Since the fortress they were in was located in the core area, and its defenses were top-notch.
To prevent excessive pressure differences between the inside and outside, the depressurization system was opened long ago to prevent any signs of the fortress's dome being blown off.
Zhou Tong parked the car in front of the military and police building and looked up at the thick dome above his head.
"Hopefully, we can withstand this superstorm!"
After saying that, Zhou Tong quickly went to the conference room.
The conference room was already full of people, all of whom had tense expressions on their faces, and the atmosphere was very oppressive.
When Zhou Tong opened the office door, everyone's eyes were on him.
Zhou Tong didn't waste any words and went straight to the point, asking, "What's the situation at the scene? Is anyone injured? What's the situation with the crowd over there?"
Immediately, someone came over to explain to Zhou Tong what had just happened and how to handle the aftermath.
"Minister Zhou, the matter has been investigated and clarified. There was a serious problem with the materials used in the blown-off protective panel. The factory owner has been arrested, and the injured have been sent to the hospital and are being properly cared for."
The hospitals are now overflowing. The number of injured is still being tallied. This is a report from the last hour: the number of injured exceeds two thousand, and the death toll has reached over one hundred.
Upon hearing these shocking figures, Zhou Tong's face immediately darkened. After reading the report in his hand, he couldn't help but slam his hand on the table.
"That damn bastard, I'm not going to let them get away with this for a month. I'll compile a list of all these people and settle accounts with them one by one."
After saying that, Zhou Tong looked at the meteorological team and asked.
"How's the weather here right now?"
The bespectacled meteorologist looked down at his computer, his face filled with panic.
"According to our current observations, the edge of the superstorm has already covered the area. The wind force we are experiencing has exceeded level twelve and is still intensifying. The sand and dust blown in by the storm have caused varying degrees of damage to our protective panels. In addition, there is a lot of hail and rocks falling from the outside."
