24 hours have passed since the underground nuclear explosion.
The residual radiation from the explosion has been effectively attenuated to near the safe threshold level.
The underground base, reduced to a pile of rubble by the bombing, was eerily quiet.
Thirty meters further up, there is a ventilation duct that is twisted like a pretzel.
A figure appeared in the narrow, pitch-black space.
The figure was wearing a radiation helmet and a full-body protective suit.
Soon after, the rocky space was filled with light, and a brand-new small tunneling machine appeared out of thin air.
A sudden din of machinery erupted.
The tunneling machine, equipped with a special drill bit, opened up the road at an angle, following the original path of the ventilation duct.
The original ventilation ducts were hollow, and only at intervals were there alloy guardrails for protection.
The explosion of two nuclear bombs caused massive shockwaves that simultaneously destroyed the guardrails and pipe walls.
Today, this only exit leading to the surface is filled with loose, crumbling rock debris.
From Lin Dong's location, the straight-line distance to the ground is still 200 meters. If he digs upwards along the small diagonal line of the ventilation duct, the distance to drill through the soil will become longer.
Lin Dong used his Sky Eye to estimate the length of the excavation to be about 300 meters.
The first 200 meters are mostly loose soil and rock; only after 200 meters will the crustal rock layer become slightly more solid.
Lin Dong drilled into the soil while simultaneously collecting the remaining mud into his spatial storage, his movements swift and incredibly efficient.
With his physique and arm strength, plus the added advantage of the system space, it's estimated that he can drill through this 300-meter rock layer in less than 10 hours.
According to the direction of the ventilation duct, the excavated exit is located in the middle of the tunnel leading into the mountain.
The 500-meter tunnel has been buried by rubble.
Therefore, even if Lin Dong manages to crawl to the exit in one go, he will still have to face 250 meters of loose rocks blocking the way.
However, once it reaches the ground, these pebbles are nothing.
If Lin Dong so desires, he can simply reach out and touch the rocks blocking his path, and they will all be stored in his space.

Fighter jets and helicopters frequently fly over the mountainous region of Lozère province.
The area within a 3-kilometer radius of the earthquake epicenter was designated as a military restricted zone.
The 12th Mountain Combat Brigade of the Gauls was ordered to carry out a mountain closure mission.
The more than 5,000 officers and soldiers thought it was just an ordinary natural disaster.
Without having to fight on the battlefield, it's just like a normal field training exercise in the wilderness.
It's nothing more than going through the motions.
Nobody knows.
Beneath their feet, in that underground base completely destroyed by the nuclear explosion, there is one person who survived.
And that person was digging out of the ground at an astonishing speed.
....................................
The second day of the Lunar New Year.
Paris, 13th arrondissement.
The fighting has ceased for more than 30 hours.
In the northern part of the city, the streets were in a mess, and there was hardly any smoke rising from them.
Once the war ended, people who had been hiding indoors began to tentatively venture out, walking in twos and threes onto the streets, looking around with lingering fear.
The charred, broken walls and bricks told them how close the war had once been to them.
How incredibly lucky must one be to have survived?
No matter what, we still need to eat and live our lives.
And so, the resilient Chinatown in District 13 quickly became lively again.
Shops have reopened, and fresh meat and vegetables are now available in the wet market.
The two sides, who had been fighting to the death before, surprisingly refrained from making a move.
Many of the gangs that used to run rampant have become much more low-key.
Especially the Grey Wolf Gang and Fuqing Gang, who suffered heavy losses in this battle, all retreated to their headquarters and silently licked their wounds.
As for the Black-Faced Invisible Legion, which received orders to remain silent for the time being, no one knows where they are.
Perhaps they are hiding in some corner of this city, staring at you with fierce eyes.
Wolves are most dangerous when they are not surrounding and attacking.
Moreover, this is a pack of wolves that are invisible!
....................................
President Hilal of Gaul finally got a good night's sleep last night.
8 PM.
In the study of the Presidential Residence at the Élysée Palace, orange lights were on.
The first thing he did upon waking was to have his secretary summon Daly and inquire in detail about the post-earthquake situation in the mountainous region of Lozelle province.
Daly reported truthfully: There were no abnormalities in the mountainous area.
Hileck breathed a sigh of relief again.
The price they paid this time to cooperate with the United States in implementing the "Nuclear Winter Plan" was extremely high.
Fortunately, the result was satisfactory.
The losses suffered by Gaul due to the nuclear explosion will be recouped over the next ten years through the promises made by the Glorious Society.
He believed in the power of the Glorious Society.
Just as he believed, no living being in the world could survive the targeted explosion of two nuclear bombs.
Lin Dong? Although he is powerful, he is ultimately a carbon-based life form.
“Mr. President, in the past 24 hours, more than one foreign intelligence team has been discovered in the mountains of Paris and Lozère.”
After resting for a few hours, Daley's dark circles had faded considerably.
"Among them were those sent by China. They were not informed in advance, and their purpose is unclear."
Hilek's lips curled slightly: "Ignore him. Just let the 12th Mountain Brigade guard the core area. These Easterners can't cause much trouble."
“I will order DGSE to keep a close eye on things. The key now is District 13. As long as the remnants of the Black Face gang are not eliminated, neither of us will be able to sleep or eat in peace.”
