Volume 1 opens with 27 man-made disasters
Chen Xing was awakened by the loud explosion sound, and when he woke up, his whole body was numb, and there was a sharp pain in his right shoulder. When I looked closely, I saw the windows facing the sea, the glass was broken, and the gas station at the dock in the distance was full of smoke. Looking at himself again, there were several pieces of glass shards inserted in his upper body, and the blood flowed, especially on his right shoulder, a piece of glass more than 10 centimeters long, which was deeply pierced into half, and the pain was incomparable, and the blood flowed endlessly.
Enduring the pain, Chen Xing sensed his injury with his heavenly eye, the small piece of glass was not deeply inserted, and it was not a big problem, the large piece of glass was more troublesome, inserted into the muscle on the outside of the right shoulder by 5 cm, and almost did not penetrate the entire shoulder, fortunately, it did not hurt the artery, nor did it touch the bone, but the tendon was seriously broken, and it looked seeping.
Chen Xing hurriedly came to the bathroom, faced the mirror, and pulled out a total of six small pieces of glass on his upper body, and the miraculous thing was that the wound stopped bleeding the moment the glass was pulled out, and then healed at a slow speed visible to the naked eye.
Chen Xing thought to himself: "It hurts to be pricked and pricked, but how can the wound feel so much faster than the last time I did the experiment?"
The wound inserted by the large glass was also nearly 5 centimeters in length, and the blood had been slowly flowing outward along the glass, and the pain also stimulated Chen Xing's sensitive nerves. With a ruthless heart, Chen Xing quickly pulled out the big glass with his left hand, and blood spurted out. Chen Xing first threw the glass into the sink, then pinched the muscles on the left and right sides of the wound with his left hand, and worked hard to the middle, under the intense pain, he gritted his teeth, and waited silently for 1 minute, the bleeding stopped, and the wound was also slowly healing, Chen Xing breathed a long sigh of relief.
Facing the mirror, Chen Xing quickly cleaned the blood stains on his body, thinking to himself: "Thanks to the fact that I didn't prick my eyes, I don't know if the eye injury can heal." He hadn't dared to try an experiment.
Out of the bathroom, Chen Xing quickly changed into a new T-shirt and casual clothes, looked at the table below, and it was only 6 o'clock in the morning, came to the window, and looked at the gas station on the dock in the distance. The petrol station is about 2,000 meters away from the hotel, right next to the pier, making it easy to refuel boats on the shore. The terrain in front of him was flat, and there were no tall obstacles, so Chen Xing's eyes blessed with the energy of the Sky Eye and his perception could see it clearly: the location of the gas station had become a ruin, and all the buildings around 50 meters had collapsed, where thick smoke was billowing out, the fire was spreading, and the crowd within 100 meters was running and chaotic.
On the road leading to the pier, the distinctive horns of fire trucks and police cars also sounded. The glass of all the buildings between the hotel and the gas station was almost completely shattered, and many people were stabbed by the glass, turning their heads to look at the guest rooms on both sides, and the window glass was not spared, and occasionally an injured guest was seen standing by the window with a bleeding wound, looking in horror at the distant pier.
Chen Xing was about to go out to see what was going on with the fishermen, when suddenly behind the hotel, two explosions were heard in a row in the direction of Colombo city center, but this time they should be far away and did not cause any more damage to the hotel's buildings.
Chen Xing still subconsciously hid by the wall, squatted down, and waited for a few minutes, feeling that there was no further danger, before he quickly ran out of the room. The corridor outside the room was also chaotic, crying and cries for help were mixed together, filled with Chen Xing's eardrums, and one after another tenants opened the door and ran towards the stairs, and no one dared to use the elevator anymore.
This floor is all business rooms, only Chen Xing and Yulao Chang live next to each other, and the others are in the ordinary guest room area on the next floor. When Chen Xing knocked on the fisherman's room, he was still in shock, nervously wearing a short-sleeved shirt, fortunately there was no major wound, only a small scratch on his forehead.
Seeing Chen Xing, his nervous expression eased a little, and he asked quickly, "Ah Xing, are you okay?" What happened? How did I hear several explosions?" He didn't know that the wounds on Chen Xing's body were much more serious than his, but they were all healed now.
Chen Xing, who was also relieved, also said quickly: "Boss, I'm fine." I also heard an explosion, and I saw a fire burning on the other side of the dock, which must have happened there. There are a lot of people in the other rooms who are hurt, so let's go down and see the others. ”
When the fishing captain and Chen Xing walked through the chaotic crowd and reached the next floor through the stairs, other colleagues had already gathered in Manager Wu's room, including Captain Vasily, chief officer, second officer, chief engineer, second car, and deck chief from Russia, and Captain Pan, first mate, second officer, and deckmaster from Taiwan.
Taiwan's fishing boat inspection team, including Manager Wu, is a total of 6 people, because Manager Wu likes to be lively, so he lives in a double standard room with Engineer Lin in the inspection team. Now, the other four engineers and Manager Wu are gathered around the bed by the window, the floor is covered with broken glass, the other Taiwanese are standing by the bathroom inside the door, and the Russians are gathered in the corridor at the door of the room, all of them have wounds of varying degrees on their bodies and faces, but none of them are particularly serious. Seeing the fishing chief and Chen Xing coming, everyone's faces showed a look of fear, dazedness, and sadness.
Sensing that something was wrong, the fisherman quickly rushed into the room and came to the side of the bed inside. When he saw the scene in front of him, he trembled and grabbed Manager Wu's shoulder weakly.
On the bed, Engineer Lin was lying there covered in blood, his face was covered with glass chips, and a long piece of glass stood in his heart, and it seemed that at least more than 10 centimeters had been inserted into his body. Blood had stained the sheets red, dripping under the bed.
"Call an ambulance, why don't you call an ambulance?" the fisherman shouted in vain as his voice became hoarse.
Manager Wu, who still had two blood marks on his face, said tremblingly in his voice with a crying voice: "It's too late, it's too late, it's too late, it's too late, it's too late, ”
After the fisherman grabbed his shoulders, the two of them slowly slid to the ground.
Outside the window, on the street, the sound of fire trucks and police cars honking was followed by the sound of ambulances, mixed with the running and shouting of injured people in the buildings and on the streets, as if everything was getting more and more chaotic.
Captain Pan instructed the remaining four engineers to stay behind and take care of Manager Wu and the fishing chief, and all the Russian and Taiwanese fishing boat cadres, with Chen Xing, rushed downstairs along the stairs. The Aristotle is at the docks, how are the crew?
When everyone rushed to the fishing boat at the pier, it was already full of people, all of whom were crew members of sea boats docked at the pier, and they should be fine from the outside.
The dock of the sea boat is about 500 meters away from the dock of the gas station, and it is only 6 o'clock in the morning, and there are no boats to refuel there. However, the shock wave of the explosion still shattered the large glass of the wheelhouse of almost all nearby ships, and the hull shook violently. The glass of the cabin where the sailors lived, because the windows were only the size of plates, were not shattered under the resonance generated by the explosion, so that almost no one was injured, and even if some were injured, it did not affect their activities.
The Aristotle only broke a cable tied to the mast during the explosion, shaking violently, and did not injure the crew.
Vasily, Captain Pan, Chen Xing and others also let go of their hanging hearts. Everyone stood by the side of the boat, looking back at the smoke and fire not far away, and the rubble of the gas dock, where fire trucks were concentrated on extinguishing the fire, and police cars had also set up a cordon to maintain order. The two types of vehicles did not stop honking, and they were still stubbornly sounding there, like fragile human beings crying powerlessly in the face of natural disasters. But is this a natural disaster? Or is it a man-made disaster?
At this time, Chen Xingcai subconsciously touched his injured right shoulder, and he couldn't feel the wound through the T-shirt, and the pain had long since disappeared, which was thankful.
"But what if I didn't have this ability, what would I do now?" Chen Xing thought depressedly.
Looking at the city center in the distance, there are two places where smoke rises into the sky, as if human tears flow into the sky, telling endless grievances.
