Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System

Chapter 980 - 377: The Red Light Is Flashing (Part 2)

Huh?

Wasn’t I just joking around casually just now?

Forget it.

Maybe it was my imagination.

After all, how could someone like me, Zhang Beixing, Minister of The Ninth Bureau, Bachelor of Northriver, Brother Bei, such a kind and amiable person, scare someone?

This simply shouldn’t happen, just a small matter.

Another glance at Little Wang beside me.

Hmm, his emotions seem to have stabilized quite a bit.

That’s more like it.

I have to say, the luck is excellent; this airport is just a little over ten kilometers from the river at the city outskirts.

On this route, there are relatively few cars, although there are more red lights, they’ve basically been granted special privileges to run through them.

After all, lives are at stake.

Even if the bomb can’t be defused, the further the car goes, the safer it is for the citizens; a few red lights are nothing as long as fewer civilians get harmed.

By the time this semi-trailer got closer to the river at the city outskirts, the news finally started reporting the incident.

Previously, although there were media drones capturing the car speeding down the highway, it was kept under wraps and not released.

Because Zhang Beixing was returning, the airport was swarmed with reporters and media people.

Zhang Beixing is undoubtedly the top star in Great Xia at present.

Wherever he appears, regardless of whether they can capture him on camera, these journalists and media all rush forward just to catch a glimpse of Zhang Beixing.

On a normal day, the likelihood of capturing Zhang Beixing wouldn’t be that high, but today is different; Zhang Beixing is leading the Extraordinary Reserve Squad of The Ninth Bureau back home.

Today, Zhang Beixing definitely wouldn’t just vanish into thin air.

That’s why nearly a hundred media outlets gathered.

Almost all media located in the Capital sent people, with well-equipped gear, just to capture Zhang Beixing from different angles.

There are forty to fifty drones alone!

This bomb incident was an unexpected situation, one that basically no one anticipated.

Describing this as an unexpected delight might be inappropriate, but for the media, this accident is indeed good news.

This news was far more explosive than Zhang Beixing’s return home.

Combining the two creates the headline: Zhang Beixing’s high-profile return home, encountering enemy retaliation at the airport, with ten-thousand-ton bomb intended to bury thousands with Minister Zhang!

This headline is definitely explosive enough.

Unfortunately, Zhang Beixing’s identity is different now.

No one dares eat the bloody bun of this man.

If they do, Zhang Beixing won’t let them off, nor will the entire Great Xia government.

So when drones pursued the semi-trailer earlier, even though the footage was captured, they didn’t dare release it.

Only now, with the semi-trailer several kilometers away from populated areas, did they dare release the footage.

It’s almost at the seaside.

At this time, martial law has already begun, with officials stationed at every entrance to set up roadblocks, temporarily barring entry.

Meanwhile, at the seaside, a large number of patrol boats have been dispatched to prevent wealthy individuals with private yachts, or fishermen with speedboats, from accidentally entering the area and endangering themselves.

All of this is done for their safety.

If even a minor accident happens during this event, reported by so many media outlets, the ensuing public opinion will be overwhelming and hard to quell.

Zhang Beixing and the semi-trailer have already reached the seaside.

Due to the semi-trailer’s considerable weight, Zhang Beixing and Little Wang could only watch helplessly as it sank into the beach sand.

It’s still dozens of meters from the sea.

If it explodes here, indeed, there would likely be no casualties, but the buildings and structures nearby wouldn’t survive.

This beach would probably become a deep pit from the explosion, letting the seawater flood in.

If the bomb is detonated here, thousands of square meters of national territory could be lost, which is really not a good deal.

It’s not just that.

Zhang Beixing glanced at Little Wang.

If I don’t take him with me to escape, and let the semi-trailer explode on the beach, he might not be able to run with just his legs.

Sigh.

Zhang Beixing turned to the still-panting Little Wang. "Kid, do you still want this vehicle?"

Little Wang was visibly startled, not expecting Zhang Beixing to ask that suddenly.

"Well..."

"Of course, I want it, but I think saving my life comes first."

Zhang Beixing nodded.

"You have slightly more than three minutes until the explosion; I give you two choices."

"First, give up the vehicle, I’ll take you with me, and I can get you two to three kilometers away, so when it explodes, you’ll only face minor impacts."

"Second, in these three plus minutes, disconnect the head from the trailer; I’ll toss the trailer into the sea to save the truck head."

"Make your choice quickly, time waits for no one."

After Zhang Beixing finished speaking, Little Wang quickly weighed his options due to the urgency, and within mere seconds, provided an answer.

"I’ll choose to disconnect the trailer!"

With that said, he jumped out of the vehicle to take action, decisively and efficiently.

This decisiveness greatly satisfied Zhang Beixing.

Just as Little Wang exited the vehicle, Zhang Beixing informed the staff to move away fishing boats, speedboats, and yachts on the sea.

He’d toss the bomb into the sea soon, there would surely be massive waves, and it shouldn’t mistakenly hit someone or overturn them with the waves.

If this resulted in casualties, Zhang Beixing would be furious.

Little Wang had only just gotten his license for the semi-trailer, today being his first time driving it, hence his operations were very first-time.

Like disconnecting the trailer.

Little Wang attempted twice, but didn’t succeed, cold sweat forming on his forehead.

This wouldn’t work if it continued.

Whether the whole semi-trailer went into the sea or just the trailer, it didn’t matter to Zhang Beixing.

If he couldn’t manage it in time, Zhang Beixing would dump the whole thing without a second thought, regardless of the truck head’s fate.

Just before the final thirty seconds count until the bomb went off.

With a snap.

The device connecting the truck head and trailer finally detached.

Little Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Damn.

What a hassle.

Zhang Beixing stood by, noticing the bomb inside the trailer began flashing red at that moment.

His eyelids twitched suddenly.

His heart sank.

He lunged forward, grabbing Little Wang by the collar and pulling him back.

At the same time, he kicked out.

With that kick, the massive semi-trailer was kicked away.

Zhang Beixing felt a bit anxious.

He’d relied a bit too heavily on luck.

Was the bomb’s red flashing a countdown to explosion?

If the countdown was only a few seconds.

Would it explode before hitting the water??

An explosion before or after hitting the water is completely different, the shockwaves are not the same at all.

Suddenly, Zhang Beixing’s mood took a downturn.
