Chapter 1166 - Thunder from a Clear Sky!
Dear Commander-in-Chief
The announcer on the midnight news reported an international news report. âLate tonight, there was an unexplained explosion in the Hanbei Ridge area at the border of the empire and S Nation. At present, the casualties are not knownâ¦â
When Gu Qiqi, who was frying something sweet in the kitchen, heard this, her wrist trembled!
Hanbei Ridge?
Explosion?
She instantly thought of Gong Jue!
!!
Wasnât Gong Jue on a business trip in the Hanbei Ridge?
This was because a hidden laboratory in S Nation had been discovered there. Although he later found out that it was a scheme set up by Kun Bu, he said that there was indeed a lot of important information left inside that needed to be carefully verified. Therefore, he had to stay behind to command and lead the expert team to verify it on the spotâ¦
It had already been a few days. Moreover, according to Gong Jue, it would take a few more days to complete this important secret mission.
It couldnât be that the laboratory was the one that had exploded, could it?
Gu Qiqi comforted herself. It couldnât be so melodramatic.
However, her heart was already beating wildly.
She couldnât care less about flipping the thin, sweet pancake. With the spatula in hand, she turned and twisted it in the direction of the television in the living room.
On the television screen, a blurry satellite surveillance image appeared.
On the vast snowfield, a huge mushroom cloud suddenly erupted.
Within a radius of a few kilometers, everything was severely affected.
In the center of the explosion, there was a huge sinkhole.
Meanwhile, the surrounding jungle had turned into charcoal.
Even the snow melted into black waterâ¦
The scene was rather tragic!
That was not an ordinary fire explosion. Clearly, it was a very serious accident!
Gu Qiqiâs heart skipped a beat before stopping!
An explosion!
Hanbei Ridge!
Could it really be the laboratory where Gong Jue was?
She stared intently at the television screen, not letting go of the commentatorâs every word.
Lian Xiaolan joked with her. âQiqi, why didnât you cook properly? Why did you come out to watch television with us? The food is going to burn!â
She pretended not to hear her and only stared blankly at the screen.
The commentator continued to report, âThe range of the explosion is very large. According to the analysis of the national observers, this is the latest high-intensity precision bomb in the world. Itâs only inferior to a real atomic bomb⦠Therefore, it can be determined that if there were humans in the center of the explosion, they would have been reduced to ashes at this moment, not even a corner of their clothes would be left behind⦠However, from the residue of the explosion, it seems that there were once buildings here⦠Fortunately, the residents of the Hanbei Ridge area have long moved away, and this area is a famous restricted area. Itâs even more impossible for tourists to stay here. At the moment, itâs estimated that there are no casualties. As for the reason for the explosion, it still needs further confirmation from the presidential palace and international authoritiesâ¦â
Every word that the commentator said was like a needle that pricked Gu Qiqiâs nerves.
Buildings?
How could there be buildings in a desolate place like the Northern Han Ridge?!
If not the secret laboratory building, what else could it be?
All the characteristics pointed to the final answer that she couldnât bear to guess: Gong Jue and the experts he led had already died in the laboratoryâ¦
Perhaps the S Nation had already planted a time bomb, or perhaps it was a last-ditch effort by Kun Buâs menâ¦
No matter what the reason was, the tragic outcome was right in front of them.
Gu Qiqi was already unable to speak or move.
