34. White Market – The walls fell
"Has Zhao Fen arrived in Taiping City?"
Bai Hong stood on the top of the highest building in the city, looking at Xie Hui at sunset, thinking about his wife's arrival in Taiping City.
At about seven o'clock in the morning, Zhao Fen set off in a nuclear-powered silent small plane to Taiping City, the seat of the coalition government, to meet Dongfang Xian, whom she had not met for more than 30 years.
They had already considered that Zhao Fen might not be able to see Dongfang Xian when he went to Taiping City, and after discussing it, they decided to try it. In this way, Zhao Fen set off to see Dongfang Xian today.
It was already evening, and Bai Hong had not received a reply from them to Taiping City.
The setting sun sank into the other side of the hilltop, and the street lights of the white market lit up layer by layer.
Knock knock knock.
There was a loud bang from the southwest of the city.
At a glance, a large part of the city wall collapsed. Accompanied by a thick layer of ash, puffs of smoke rose up.
At night, the white market was chaotic.
The explosion of metal, the screams of people, the honking of cars, the roar of airplanes, the shouts of troops......
Bai Hong's mobile phone, which had fallen on the floor, had already rang for the third time, but he didn't hear it. His eyes stared blankly at the crumbling city wall.
A dual-purpose car quickly came to the roof of the building, and in more than 20 seconds, the car stopped steadily.
The secretary hurriedly got out of the car, jumped and ran, and came to Bai Hong's side. Pick up the phone that fell to the ground.
"Mayor!"
"Humph!" White and Red let out a long breath.
"Mayor! Please get on the bus. ”
Bai Hong and the secretary got into the car. The driver activates airplane mode. Five minutes later, the car came to the site of the collapse of the city wall, twenty kilometers away from where the white and red were standing.
Metal, stone, cement, etc., the materials of the city wall are scattered all around. Residents living nearby were injured, some with broken hands, some with broken feet, some with their bodies smashed, and even several columns of headless corpses.
People from various departments arrived at the scene one after another in special vehicles. The rescue team began to deal with the wounded, and the other departments also went their separate ways.
"Is there anyone working on this place today?" Bai Hong asked the department leader who built the city wall, "Hurry up and figure it out!" ”
"Nope!" The person in charge of the wall construction department quickly browsed the construction situation on his laptop, "The work was stopped yesterday, and all the people in charge of this area went to support the north of the city." ”
"Good!" Bai Hong raised his voice, "The center site needs to be protected." Sheriff Wong! The investigation was immediately followed. ”
"Yes!" Sergeant Huang replied solemnly, "Our personnel are already in place and immediately engaged in the investigation. ”
"You ......," Bai Hong said to the leader of the Work Safety Supervision Bureau, "After the police investigation, you will follow up the work and investigate the construction situation." ”
"Roger! Mayor! ”
White and red methodically deploy the work. Each department did its part and carried out the aftermath work one by one.
Woooooooooooo
The painful cries of the family members of the deceased were very obvious in the various noises. They knelt beside the corpse, covered with white cloth, and wept bitterly, snot and tears dripping down the ground.
A child's head was smashed and mixed into a layer of ash. His parents lost their minds, and the two of them howled, holding the dust mixed with their son's blood in both hands, and shoved them into their mouths one by one. If you let other people open it, you can't control them, their power is too great. Stop them again and again, fail again and again.
"Sober! Awake! Awake! Bai Hong squatted down and shouted in a loud voice, "Awake! Awake! Awake! ”
Maybe it's the white-red voice that has the power of shock, or maybe it's the white-red clapping their hands with force. The two young couples froze as they held the bloodstained dust.
"I know you two. A year ago, you were so brave. You have escaped from other cities in order to be free, and you have come to this city after a lot of hardships and hardships. Now, you have to show the courage you had before, and you can overcome the difficulties. ”
The two mayors, who listened to their most respected, unconsciously put their hands in the dust.
Woooooooooooo
They took the white and red hands and wept.
Woooooooooooo
All the families of the deceased wept together. It's like the Meng family girl crying on the Great Wall, earth-shattering.
"We must stand up." Bai Hong said loudly, "This is a safety accident!" When the city government finds out the truth, it must investigate the relevant responsible persons and give an explanation to every family member. ”
The moving lamp, hanging above, emits a bright light.
Robots, people, machines, cars, airplanes...... Each goes its own way and deals with the scene.
Bai Hong comforted the family of the deceased and returned to the scene, watching them. Each department saw that the mayor had stayed on the scene, and they had used their own skills to work harder and actively implement it.
"Mayor!" The secretary saw that he had free time, "Your lady! She's already called you sixteen times. ”
"Oh!" Bai Hong didn't seem to hear the secretary's words, and said, "Is this news blocked?" ”
"Mayor! The Information Authority has shielded a radius of 100 kilometers. ”
In case of danger, within ten seconds, the Information Management Bureau has blocked it for the first time.
"Hmm!" Bai Hong still said worriedly, "If someone deliberately stops, maybe the news has already spread to other cities." ”
"At the moment, we haven't had feedback back." The secretary said, "In two hours, the news of the collapse of the walls of our city may be spread." ”
"You set up the press conference! Before we get out of control, we must hurry up and release the information. ”
Journalists in various cities are bored and unable to contact the outside world. They know that all channels for sending information are screened by the city government. When they scratched their heads and ears, they received an invitation to a press conference from the city government.
"Fellow journalists! You've worked hard. Bai Hong stood on the podium, and the people present raised the camera, "This is a serious safety accident, and when we find out the truth, we will definitely investigate the relevant responsible persons." Next, please welcome the director of our Work Safety Supervision Bureau to speak! ”
White-red handed the stage to the director. The director briefed reporters on the reasons for the collapse of the city wall from all sides.
Bai Hong got off the press table and walked to the lounge at the back, and the secretary hurriedly stepped forward and whispered the latest news on the scene.
"Mayor!" The secretary lowered his voice, "The investigation department of the police has found some special traces. ”
"Hmmm! Got it. Go, go back to the scene. ”
Bai Hong and the secretary quickly returned to the scene of the incident.
The military set up security guards at the center site, erected a high isolation belt, and pulled up a fence to prohibit idlers from entering and leaving.
Bai Hong entered the scene from the card point and saw people busy going back and forth.
Under the bright light of day, the investigators surveyed every corner and collected every trace.
"Mayor!" Sheriff Huang saw the mayor coming back and stepped forward, "I'm afraid things are very tricky, look over there." ”
There was a deep pit in the corner of the wall where the destruction occurred, which was discovered by the surveyors and cleaned up the surrounding debris.
White-red stood at the edge of the pit and bent down to look down.
It was so deep that even strong light could not reach the bottom of the pit.
Bai Hong was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
