ACT 146: Destruction (Part II)
acT146: Mass Destruction (Part II) In 1995, Timothy McVeigh drove a pickup truck full of homemade**, causing the Oklahoma bombing tragedy in the United States, destroying nearly half of the 9-story building, collapsing the wall, and causing the loud noise and tremors to spread for dozens of kilometers.
The explosion killed nearly 200 people, injured more than 500, severely damaged homes on the surrounding floors, and destroyed countless vehicles.
Caroline uses C4 plastic**, which is no less powerful than TNT, and even better than homemade**.
Perhaps the equivalent is not enough to completely blow up the country's fourth-busiest train station, but for the unsuspecting...... It's completely a knife to kill chickens.
The main building of the railway station is about 142 meters long, 52 meters wide, the waiting area reaches more than 30,000 square meters, the waiting hall of the main building is 20 meters high, and the first place is concentrated in the waiting room on the side of the steam train.
Even if the people who enter the hall are blessed with great fortune and can survive the double blow of explosion and collapse, it doesn't matter.
This earth-shattering sound and the fire after the explosion were the guiding light of the walking corpses in the city. Time goes back a few dozen seconds, back to Luo Yu leaving the team and running to the corner, back to Xiao Wei and Liu Yan entering the VIP waiting hall through the window, back to Song Jiu, Jin Bo rushed to the escalator in the center of the hall, back to Wu Wentao close to the train, Chu Guangxu got into the carriage...... That moment.
Without warning, a burst of fire suddenly rose from the west side of the building, and the dazzling glare came so suddenly that the people who were accustomed to patrolling the darkness almost became blind at that moment.
In the blink of an eye, the fire turned into a huge fireball, rising with billowing smoke, at this time, the explosion of the earth shaking the mountains was late, the majestic air wave seemed to be the earth roaring, wrapped in the momentum of destruction and decay, the main building of the station under the night let out a terrifying roar, countless doors and windows were shattered instantly, the smoke of the fire accumulated terrifying flames, spread like a mountain of seas, and swept through the wall!
Everything happened in an instant, and there was no time to react. The naked eye could only catch a brief burst of polar light, and then, an almost discernible shock wave swept into the dust and smoke, and everyone only felt a violent tremor under their feet, and the sky swirled while their ears buzzed.
'Boom' 'Bang Bang'...... The deafening explosion sounded like thunder in the nine heavens, and it exploded in my ears so suddenly.
The surging shock wave destroyed everything around, accompanied by the sound of countless doors and windows shattering, the bus hidden at the corner of the street let out a tooth-aching scream, like a fallen leaf, easily swept to the ground by the air wave, and was pushed four or five meters away.
The violent collision and overturning caught people off guard, and the people left behind were sitting or standing, staring nervously at the cement monster, how could they have expected that there would suddenly be such an explosion?
The brain is still blank, and the strange feeling of the reversal of heaven and earth is transmitted to the brain, followed by the sound of breaking and breaking, the body's senses recover its function, and in the scream, the residual strength of the tumbling bus gradually fades, and it falls to the ground on its side, and is soon engulfed in smoke.
Across the street, the fire was blazing, and the intersection was billowing with smoke. Violent coughing and painful moans sounded in a concentrated manner a moment later, and the fragile body of the bus seemed to have been hit by a heavy hammer, half of the body of the car was dented, and the metal wagon was pierced by something, opening a terrifying gap, and the flying gravel glass turned into bullets, striking the passengers who were thrown into a ball at close range, causing unimaginable casualties in the brief moment when the body of the car rolled.
The only two girls in the car who were not afraid of physical blows climbed out of the carriage with difficulty, their ears ringing endlessly, their eyes were black, and the severe pain throughout their bodies made them a little unable to distinguish their direction for a while.
Song Yao covered her waist and climbed out of the roof ventilation window, her mind in chaos.
"Ahem..."Lucy was right next to her, and the moment the shockwave came, the two girls grabbed each other in time, trying to use the strength of their bodies to fix their positions.
However, all this is in vain, and it is a dream to try to counteract the majestic wave of qi by manpower. The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and a radial gap appeared in the place where the bus had been parked, and the ground was full of messes, and the oil stained dragged out a strange splash of ink.
"Sissi." Song Yao held on to the deformed carriage, her mind fell into a brief confusion, and she didn't even have time to think about her younger brother at the center of the explosion, so she could only pay attention to the surviving companions around her for the first time.
Lucy dragged her numb body to the side, coughing and said, "I, I'm okay...... Others ......" Song Yao touched her numb cheeks, and her palms probed, which were full of hot and humid blood, and there were many glass slags embedded in her skin, as if they had grown out of flesh.
Hearing Lu Qian's reply, Song Yao's frightened mood calmed down a little, and looked at herself, except for a hole in the carriage on her waist, there were no other terrible injuries, and her right arm was a little weak, I don't know if it was a fracture or a dislocation.
However, none of this hindered her life, so Song Yao didn't care too much, and struggled to the front of the car, trying to find Ming Junwei.
Moments before the explosion, the cold night wind briefly disappeared for a while, and after the explosion, the dust rose everywhere, and the night wind was not to be outdone.
The smoke from the side of the car was swept away by the wind, and a burning smell mixed into the nasal cavities, mixed with bloody gas.
The people in the car were thrown into a heap, all lying or lying under the car, the wind and smoke dissipated, and the wails and pains rose one after another.
Several more people who seemed to be in good shape crawled out one after another, without exception, covered in blood. Needless to say, several people took a moment of respite and joined the search and rescue ranks with the luck of the rest of their lives.
At this moment, the billowing smoke not far away had no time to care, and most of them still could not recover from their senses, and the body's defense mechanism forced them to shield themselves from the scene of the explosion, trying to concentrate all their energy and try to rescue the surviving companions from the carriage.
Ming Junwei was the last to be pulled out, he was standing next to the driver before, holding the coin cylinder and about to say something.
At the moment when the shock wave overturned the car, the man turned around and knocked down the second daughter, but unfortunately the sacrifice did not work, the car body rolled completely out of control, the two women were thrown to the top, and Ming Junwei fell into the crowd and was crushed underneath.
The young driver beside him was out of breath, his face was embedded in dense glass slag, his eyes were wide open, and he seemed to be still surprised by the dazzling fire that suddenly appeared.
Ming Junwei still has one breath, and it's just one breath. No fatal injuries were found outside, but Song Yao saw that his chest cavity seemed to be a little dented, and it was likely that his ribs were broken by a heavy blow, and he didn't know if he had been stabbed in his internal organs, and the person was still in a state of shock for the time being, and his weak breathing proved that the fire of life was still struggling.
There was a coughing voice at the entrance of the street, Song Yao hurriedly looked over, and then remembered that a figure seemed to have left the square before the explosion.
Luo Yu stumbled to the side of the car, looking at the scene in front of him, his expression frozen. All the people in the carriage were lifted out, and in addition to the young driver, six people unfortunately died, one of them was Yang Chunyue, the girl was slid open her throat by the rolled wagon, and the sprayed blood was almost completely puddled.
Ying Doudou and Fang Fei were still alive, both of them were scratched by the collision to varying degrees, they were sitting in their positions at the time, there were people on the left and right, it was a blessing in misfortune, the others suffered a lot of injuries from the splashing glass, which was worthy of protecting the two of them.
In addition, there are four or five people who are in a similar condition to Ming Junwei, who have not yet woken up, and don't even know if they can wake up.
Luo Yu lost his strength all over, leaned against the side of the car, and looked at the railway station building that stained the sky red with the smoke of the fire, his face turned pale.
Song Yao and Lu Qian also broke away from their confusion one after another, and completely fell into unprecedented helplessness.
"Ninety-nine..."Luo Yu felt the soldering iron in his throat, stinging and dry. She had just run out of the square, and she didn't even have time to pay attention to the fire behind her, only to feel the sound of the wind, and then the whole person was thrown out of the way, and fell heavily on the asphalt road, only some flesh wounds, but not viscera.
Some of the people who could still stand up were all stunned in place, their dim eyes dancing with firelight, and the bone-chilling ice water poured down from the Heavenly Spirit Cover, running through their bodies.
As if to laugh at their fuss, a few kilometers away, a dazzling fire flashed again, and the feet trembled for a moment, and a loud bang struck again.
Song Yao turned her stiff neck with difficulty, looked into the distance, and her heart completely fell into the ice cellar.
"It's all over..."At the same time, several dusty heavy Humvees stopped on a long street near the roundabout.
Caroline sat in the driver's seat, her fair face flushed with excitement, her eyes were feverish, and her scarlet lips pulled up in a beautiful arc.
"Is it pretty?" Caroline's tone was brisk, like a child showing off his toys to others, and her slender fingers hooked the co-pilot's pale and colorless face.
Yinuo's eyes were dull, looking at the flames flying above the roundabout, the whole person collapsed, a pair of eyes were filled with mist, tears gushed out of his eyes uncontrollably, and slowly slid down the soft lines of his cheeks.
"Say goodbye to the past." Caroline was in a good mood, caressing Ikno's long, supple hair, leaving a scarlet lip print on her cheek.
Gao Yang sat in the back row, with an irrepressible smile of joy on his pale face, his intact palm rubbing his prosthetic leg, and his smile was a little unfinished, as if he regretted that he couldn't press the blast button with his own hands.
The convoy stopped for a while, and a figure slowly walked out of the street corner, saw the car parked here, and hurriedly accelerated and ran over.
Caroline lit a lady's cigarette, pressed down the window and beckoned to the figure. The figure approached, wrapped in a dirty cloak, covering his face, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly.
"I did it, and I made good on your promise." The figure was hoarse, as if its vocal cords had been torn into a few strands, hoarse and low.
"Where's the stuff?" The chick took a soft puff of her cigarette and played with her silver-white Beretta pistol in her hand. The man in the cloak was stunned for a moment, and said hoarsely: "I can't get in, I can only do this." ”
"Then why should I keep my promise?" The foreign girl looked strange and pouted. The man seemed to be a little anxious, snorted a few times, and said, "Anyway, it's all blown up, and nothing will be left, so I'll look for it when the fire goes out." ”
"Not available." Caroline whistled lightly, slammed on the accelerator under her feet, and drove quickly past her sturdy body, without looking back into the distance.
The convoy sped past closely behind, and no one paid attention to the stunned people on the side of the road. The strong wind of the traffic lifted the corner of the cloak, revealing a hideous side face that was half burned and disfigured, and above the scar, the eyes full of resentment watched the convoy disappear into the darkness.
