Chapter 370: 144, Lin Mo’s Achilles’ heel exposed? Chen Shanhe’s comeback against the odds!_1
Rakshasa City, Qinglong Mountain.
The Hive’s headquarters were located beneath the surface, effectively hollowing out nearly half of Qinglong Mountain.
From the initial design, Chen Shanhe had laid self-destruct devices at many crucial points below, with the purpose of preventing scenarios like today’s.
Not only was Lin Mo cautious, but Chen Shanhe, that old fox, had also spent a lifetime laying out his plans in Rakshasa City.
Boom, boom, boom——————
The enormous explosion was deafening, and most of the staff in the Hive’s headquarters died instantly from the blast wave produced by the explosion; even those who didn’t die, who still had a breath in them, had lost the ability to move.
However, this was just the first step.
Following immediately,
the underground explosion created a pit like a mass grave, leading to a collapse of the ground’s buildings and surrounding rocks, which in an instant completely buried the Hive’s headquarters. It was as if soil had been shoveled onto this mass grave, cutting off any chance of survival for everyone inside.
Soon, a second explosion was heard, this time detonating the buildings above the surface.
The entire blasting process was meticulously designed, first to create a big hole, then to cause the ground to collapse, buildings to sink, and finally detonating the buildings so that rebar-reinforced concrete would cover the top.
In such a circumstance, even if there were attempts to rescue those in the basement, it would be impossible without at least ten days to half a month.
Those who could be rescued would only be gruesomely mangled corpses, void of life.
Bright flames soared into the sky, and a significant tremor could be felt for kilometers around; many people stepped out of their homes and went to higher ground, gazing in the direction of Qinglong Mountain.
They couldn’t see the details clearly, but they could distinctly see the slice of sky above that area as if it was scorched red by fire.
On major short video platforms, many videos and photos from near Qinglong Mountain appeared swiftly.
In the comments section of the most ‘liked’ video among them.
[Damn! What’s happening???]
[What exploded?]
[Could it be a chemical plant explosion?]
[I’m from Rakshasa, the explosion happened at Qinglong Mountain, take another guess why it exploded?]
[Qinglong Mountain??]
[Is it related to Shuangmu?]
[Qinglong Mountain is Dahe’s stronghold!!]
[Definitely related to Shuangmu!]
Shuangmu was a new name netizens gave to Lin Mo when they encountered keyword censorship.
[I always said Shuangmu speaks the truth, badass, now this really confirms it.]
[So, the current situation is, Shuangmu has exposed the truth, and Dahe is destroying evidence?]
[Ah? What’s this Shuangmu, what’s Dahe, isn’t it just a routine explosion; what are you all talking about?]
[Kid, don’t meddle in adult affairs!]
[Crap, Rakshasa City is going to be lively tonight, I just scrolled through the news, saying the First-Level Joint Investigation Team will arrive in Rakshasa City tonight.]
[I live near Qinglong Mountain, damn it, I was just gaming when suddenly the internet cut out, saying some signal tower is broken!]
[There are so many camouflaged vehicles nearby!!]
…..
At the same time.
Rakshasa City, outskirts of North City District.
Dalimin Food Factory.
Following the clues provided by Lin Mo during his live broadcast, this was where Bai Feng was detained, and, furthermore, there were many of Chen Shanhe’s enemies and adversaries held here.
The security forces here were second only to the headquarters of the Hive.
Therefore, aside from Qinglong Mountain, it was the area where the largest number of police and special forces were dispatched.
At this moment, employees from the nearby factories had already been evacuated, and Dalimin Food Factory was thoroughly surrounded from inside out. Police officers also incessantly used loudspeakers towards the inside.
[You are surrounded, cease resistance, hold your hands over your head, this is your only way out!]
[Recognize the situation, cease resistance!]
However, the Dalimin Food Factory, shrouded in the dark of night, was like a dormant giant beast, and it made not a single sound.
….
While Rakshasa City was bustling with activity,
there were movements overseas as well.
In the northern part of the Alps, at the northwest end of Lake Zurich.
There was about a seven-hour time difference with Grand Xia; while it was already evening there, it was still afternoon here.
The weather today was fine, sunny and pleasant.
The golden sunlight shone on the calm, mirror-like surface of the lake, reflecting the pines and weeping willows along the shore.
Many families were rowing on the lake, frolicking in the water.
It was a scene of peace and harmony.
The grass by the lakeside was lush, and a breeze rustled through it gently as if dancing with the soaring birds. Occasionally, fish leapt joyfully out of the water, their plump bodies momentarily catching the eye and stirring the soul.
In the distance,
the mountain peaks, with their perennial white snow caps, looked like something out of a dream.
Between the mountains and the lake, rows of western-style chalets glittered like jewels on sumptuous tapestries, scattered among them.
Switzerland, one of Europe’s wealthiest countries.
And Zurich, its wealthiest city.
The people living here were always very comfortable, with a slow pace of life, in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of Rakshasa City.
Rumble… rumble rumble…
At that moment, two modified, all-black, elongated Hummer limousines with privacy glass sped down the road, out of place amidst the leisurely surroundings.
The driver, a man sporting sunglasses, burly and muscular with a masculine face and chiseled features around 30 years old.
His name was Kaimi, codenamed Hellhound, a first-rate mercenary in this part of Europe and also a long-time partner of Chen Shanhe.
Hellhound glanced at the chalets in the distance with an indifferent gaze, then dialed Chen Shanhe’s number and said in a deep voice, “Elder Chen, we’ve arrived near the chalet; may we proceed immediately?”
