Chapter 269 Explosion
A few days later, at 2:30 p.m. on January 10, Lan Ximeng and Alice returned to Tianquan Star together.
"Why is it so strange today?" Lan Ximeng refreshed the taxi page many times, but there were no idle taxis nearby.
Her family members were all away on the planet and no one came to pick her up. Looks like I need to find some time to buy a means of transportation.
Alice was also using her computer to help Lan Ximeng hail a taxi, but no one took the order for a long time. "It's a bit strange. It used to be very fast."
"Since you can't wait for a car, let my driver take you back." Alice patted Lan Ximeng and said, "It will just take a little longer anyway."
Lan Ximeng thought about it and realized that continuing to wait here would only be a waste of time.
"Then please trouble your driver to go a little further."
"Don't be polite, we are all sisters." Alice glanced at her computer. It has been half an hour, why hasn't her driver arrived yet?
Lan Ximeng saw that Alice's face was not right, "What's wrong?"
"The driver didn't answer my call." Alice called the driver again, but still no one answered.
"Could something have happened?" Lan Ximeng opened the news of Tianquan Star and searched through it, but did not find any problems.
At this time, a student from the same Starship class as Lan Ximeng came over and asked, "Didn't your parents reply to your messages?" The boy was a little panicked. He felt uneasy about losing contact with his parents.
"You too?" Others who were waiting for their parents nearby also came over to discuss this matter. A girl said with tears in her eyes, "Me too. My sister said she would pick me up, but now there's no news. It used to only take ten minutes." There was a hint of crying in her voice, and she seemed very helpless.
"My dad, too," another classmate chimed in, a hint of anxiety in his voice.
All of a sudden, everyone started to panic. If it's just one or two children, it's okay, but if a group of parents are like this, it means there's a problem with Tianquan Star. A bad premonition also arose in Lan Ximeng's heart.
At this moment, a loud and earth-shattering sound came from afar, "Boom!"
In an instant, a huge red mushroom cloud rose into the sky, and the hot air waves instantly made the nearby air scorching hot, as if even the air was burning.
The explosion site was not far from the star port, and the shock wave instantly swept in like a tide. Lan Ximeng and everyone else were caught off guard. They lost their balance in an instant, and were shaken to the ground, almost unable to stand.
Dust was raised in an instant, flying all over the sky, covering the sky, and the whole world was shrouded in darkness. Driven by the shock wave, countless building fragments flew in all directions, and the scene was in chaos.
All of them have been rigorously trained and react quickly and decisively. The moment the explosion sounded, they fell to the ground without hesitation, held their heads with their hands, curled themselves up into a ball, and tried their best to protect the vital parts of their bodies.
Pieces of broken stone and building debris fell from the sky, hitting people's bodies and causing waves of pain.
After a moment, the world returned to silence. However, the next moment, the urgent sound of an alarm broke the silence, harsh and sharp.
Lan Ximeng and Alice stood up and looked towards the direction where the explosion occurred in the distance.
There is a square with a very heavy flow of people!
The students around seemed to realize something as well. They stood up and started running towards the explosion site.
While running, Lan Ximeng used the light brain to briefly inform her family of what had happened, and Alice was also talking to her uncle, reporting the situation urgently.
"What happened? Was there an explosion?"
"The explosion was so powerful, is this the weapons exhibition hall?"
Alice hung up the phone and said to Lan Ximeng, "My uncle has arranged for someone to come over."
Lan Ximeng nodded and continued running towards the square where the explosion occurred.
Along the way, the devastated scenes were shocking. The wreckage of buildings could be seen everywhere, trees and vehicles blown away by the explosion were scattered all over the place, and there were even injured people lying on the ground. The bloody scene made everyone anxious and their steps became more rapid.
Without any hesitation, the students launched the rescue operation quickly and orderly. They were divided into groups with clear division of labor. Some were responsible for clearing the mountains of building debris, while others were digging carefully, trying to find the citizens who were trapped underneath. Whenever they found a place where there might be people, they would check carefully, use the tools in their hands or move the heavy rubble with their bare hands, and pull out the trapped citizens one by one.
Lan Ximeng, who was in charge of the treatment, quickly took out a bottle of medicine from the space, gently pried open the injured man's lips, and carefully poured the medicine into him. The man was wearing a police uniform and was obviously a patrol officer responsible for the security of the area. His abdomen was covered in blood and his clothes were soaked in blood, making them particularly eye-catching.
Lan Ximeng took out a pair of medical scissors from the space and carefully cut open the patrolman's clothes on his abdomen, revealing the wound inside that was cut by a sharp blade. The edges of the wound were neat, as if it had been precisely cut by some sharp weapon, and blood was still oozing out.
"There's something wrong with this wound!" Lan Ximeng opened her eyes wide, a hint of astonishment flashing in her eyes. She instantly realized that this was not an ordinary accidental injury, but a premeditated attack!
"Everyone be careful! This could be an attack, not an accident!" Lan Ximeng warned loudly, while quickly using her mental power to detect the surroundings.
"What?" When the other students who were treating the injured heard this, they all raised their heads, their faces full of confusion, "Isn't this just an ordinary explosion?!"
Alice ran over from the side, and her face became serious after seeing the wound on the patrolman's abdomen. She realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately said, "This patrolman was stabbed, and the murderer may still be here!"
Hearing this, the others reacted instantly, took out their weapons, and looked around vigilantly. The atmosphere instantly became tense.
Such a huge explosion, if it wasn’t an accident, then it must have been a riot.
Is this still on Tianquan Star?
"Save me, save me!" The students stopped their rescue actions, and some of the people who were trapped began to cry for help.
"There is an enemy attack from the northeast! Be careful to avoid it!" Lan Ximeng suddenly shouted, her voice hurried and nervous. Her eyes were fixed on a nearby area, where a well-equipped team was approaching rapidly.
They were dressed in uniform black combat uniforms, armed with heavy weapons, and moved quickly and decisively. In the chaotic explosion scene, these people's target was very clear - citizens. They were carrying out indiscriminate attacks on the surviving citizens. Their weapons had powerful firepower, and every shot was accompanied by sharp whistles and explosions. Innocent citizens fell one after another under their attacks, and the scene was in chaos and blood.
Lan Ximeng's heart suddenly tightened as she realized that these attackers were not ordinary thugs, but an elite team that had undergone rigorous training. Their appearance was obviously not accidental, but a premeditated attack. She reacted quickly, loudly reminding the people around her to take cover, and quickly hid beside the green bushes. At the same time, she took out an energy gun from space and prepared to fight.
Alice followed closely beside her, hiding on the other side of the greenery, staring at the team in the distance with vigilant eyes. When the other students heard Lan Ximeng's reminder, they immediately reacted and looked for cover to hide.
The team in the distance was approaching step by step. The other students also noticed this team and their faces turned pale instantly.
