With a loud noise, the No. 45 bus suddenly turned into a ball of fire. Along with the earth-shattering noise, a powerful shock wave spread to the surrounding area instantly.
"ah!"
A shrill scream rose from the crowd, and the terrified crowd scurried around like headless flies.
Of course, these people are a little further away from the explosion point.
Those who were close to the center of the explosion were not as lucky as they were. The situation around the bus station was shocking.
Painful moans, shrill screams, helpless wails, and angry cries were all intertwined together, making the scene feel like hell.
"Cough...cough..."
Li Jie coughed twice and looked around him with squinted eyes.
Li Shiqing seemed to be frightened, and it took a while before she came back to her senses.
"I...I'm fine."
Li Jie took a look at Li Shiqing's physical condition and found that except for some dirt and dust, there were no obvious injuries on her body.
In addition, while Li Shiqing was stunned, he quickly checked her pulse.
The pulse is healthy and strong. Except for the rapid heartbeat caused by panic, there is nothing wrong with Li Shiqing's body.
"Walk!"
Immediately afterwards, Li Jie pulled Li Shiqing up and quickly left the scene.
There was something very wrong with the explosion just now!
Explosives are too powerful.
This is by no means an ordinary homemade explosive, only professional military explosives can achieve this effect.
Just now, if the two of them hadn't run so fast, if they hadn't found a bunker in a pit, if they hadn't fallen down in time.
Now they are afraid that they have already gone to see the King of Hell.
Li Shiqing's eyes were dull, like a puppet, and she was led by Li Jie in a daze, and left the scene step by step.
She didn't even notice that there were no survivors around them. Except for the two of them, everyone within a dozen meters radius died in the aftermath of the explosion.
At the same time, the Xiazhou City Alarm Center received information about the explosion on Yanjiang East Road.
The explosion of the bomb spread almost throughout most of Xiazhou. The moment the explosion sounded, the police and fire department sounded the alarm.
Such a huge explosion is definitely not a good thing.
If it happened in a downtown area, the consequences would be simply unimaginable.
Before the alarm call was connected, the public security personnel took quick action and began to investigate the location of the explosion.
As soon as the alarm call arrived, the police confirmed the location of the explosion almost at the same time.
Yanjiang East Road bus stop!
The reason why the police quickly discovered the place where the explosion occurred was because the surveillance screens on that section of the road went black almost at the same time.
And it’s monitoring of different lines!
After confirming the location of the crime, the Xiazhou Municipal Bureau quickly dispatched the police.
At the same time, 119 and 120 quickly mobilized mobile forces and rushed to the scene of the accident.
Although the area near Yanjiang East Road is not a downtown area, it is the starting point of the Jialin Bridge and has a huge amount of traffic.
If there was an explosion there, the casualties on the scene would definitely be huge.
The most important thing now is not to find out the cause of the explosion, but to rescue. Human life is more important than anything else, and everything must make way for it.
The truth will of course be found out.
But that was after the rescue was completed.
Woo...woo...woo...woo...
At the same time, countless vehicles with sirens sounding quickly approached Yanjiang East Road.
At this moment, the eyes of the city government, citizens, police, fire fighters, hospitals, and news centers were all focused on the explosion on Yanjiang East Road.
On the other side, by the Jialin River, the sky not far away was still thick with smoke. Under the sunlight, the waves on the river were sparkling, and it seemed that even the river water had become a bit hotter.
Li Shiqing finished talking about her experience intermittently. After listening to her story, Li Jie was 'stunned'.
"You mean you've experienced four explosions, counting this one as your fifth?"
"Um."
Li Shiqing nodded her head. She also knew that her experience was a bit unbelievable.
But everything she said was true.
While telling the story, she actually had no hope as to whether the professor would believe him.
Because it was so bizarre, if someone else told her, she would never believe it.
Li Jie said in a surprised tone: "In other words, you have experienced five cycles? It's like the science fiction film "Source Code"?"
Source Code is a movie released in 2011. Its setting is also for a certain reason. The protagonist keeps looping in a certain time and a certain scene.
It just so happens that this world also has this movie.
"right!"
Li Shiqing has also watched this movie. When Li Jie mentioned the words "source code", she quickly nodded in approval.
"Just like Colt, I just kept repeating it."
"It's a little hard to believe though."
Li Jie nodded slightly and said, "But I believe what you said, because your eyes, your demeanor, and your actions all tell me that you are not lying."
"Professor, do you believe what I say?"
For the first time since the explosion, Li Shiqing's eyes shone with a different kind of brilliance.
"Yes, I believe it."
Li Jie's tone was determined. Of course he believed it. Even if he had not seen the beginning of the plot, he would believe Li Shiqing's words.
After all, she is just an ordinary college student. She has not received special training and it is difficult to suppress her instinctive reaction.
People's subconscious reactions don't lie.
"Now, we need to consider a very important issue."
As soon as these words came out, Li Shiqing's expression quickly changed from excitement to confusion. Her eyes were full of confusion, as if she was asking 'what's the problem?'
"Will the cycle continue?"
Li Jie got straight to the point and introduced the key point.
With big eyes and big doubts, Li Shiqing said blankly.
"What?"
Li Jie said calmly: "If the cycle does not end, then we still have a chance to prevent this explosion."
"If the cycle ends here, we will be greeted with extremely strict scrutiny."
Li Shiqing's expression was still very confused. She didn't particularly understand what Li Jie meant.
What does ‘they will be greeted with extremely strict scrutiny’?
The bus explosion had nothing to do with either of them. They neither carried bombs nor detonated them.
They are completely innocent, and their identity should be survivors.
Li Jie smiled slightly and touched her head: "Don't worry, I will handle the rest."
After saying that, Li Jie took out his mobile phone. He had just checked it. Although the screen of the mobile phone was cracked, its functions were still intact. There must be no problem making calls.
He dialed a series of phone numbers skillfully.
beep!
beep!
Soon, a female voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Old Li?"
This is Duan Yingjiu's voice. Li Jie has many questions in his mind now. He needs time to investigate.
