Comprehension Ability: Creating the Five Thunders Technique in Reality-Chapter 247 - 131: Nationwide Explosion!_2

Just as he was about to continue calling Lin Beichen.

Suddenly!

A call came in.

It was a string of digits that didn’t look like a normal phone number.

Seeing this string of numbers, Hao Jianhua’s heart skipped a beat. He had seen a similar string of numbers before.

Although the numbers weren’t exactly the same, the arrangement was quite similar.

It was a call from the Security Bureau!

"Why is the Security Bureau calling at this time?"

"Could it be...?"

Hao Jianhua immediately understood the theme of the call; they must have received some news, knew what was happening here, and were calling to inquire about Lin Beichen.

He gestured for the others to go ahead while he intentionally lagged behind and then took the call.

As soon as the call connected.

Song Xiangdong’s voice came through, "Principal Hao, it’s me, Song Xiangdong from the Security Bureau."

The voice was still as calm and poised as ever, but if listened to carefully, one could detect a hint of panic and urgency.

Indeed!

Hao Jianhua fully grasped the theme of this call.

"Hello, Director Song."

"Principal Hao, I know Lin Beichen went to Divine Light Country with you. I just received news that Jingli Mountain is about to erupt, so... are you all safe? Do you need any assistance from us?"

"This..."

Hao Jianhua knew that Song Xiangdong was doing this entirely out of regard for Lin Beichen and not because of their relationship.

It also made him more acutely aware of Lin Beichen’s importance in the eyes of the Security Bureau.

Just think about it...

The Security Bureau can easily mobilize any force within the Great Xia Kingdom without any difficulty.

But to mobilize forces abroad...

No matter what kind of force, there would be many limitations and difficulties.

And even so, the Security Bureau didn’t hesitate a bit to choose to use international forces to support Lin Beichen.

The importance of Lin Beichen can be imagined!

Song Xiangdong detected Hao Jianhua’s hesitation and immediately pursued, "Principal Hao, has something happened?"

"It’s like this."

Hao Jianhua also didn’t want to hide anything and explained the current situation in detail.

After he finished talking.

There was no response from the other end of the call.

It was silent.

At this moment, in the Security Bureau Director’s office back in Great Xia Kingdom.

Song Xiangdong sat in his seat, the expression on his face indescribably stern and solemn, the joints of the hand holding the phone were a bit white.

At this time, he didn’t know what else he could do.

Jingli Mountain was set to erupt in less than two hours, and at this critical moment, Lin Beichen, who was visiting Jingli Mountain, could not be contacted.

Even if this happened in Great Xia...

He felt utterly helpless.

"Hopefully, everything will be fine!"

Song Xiangdong could only silently pray in his heart.

Recalling the many shocks and miracles Lin Beichen had brought him in the past...

He couldn’t help but feel a bit more at ease.

As he calmed down, Song Xiangdong’s mind opened up more, thinking that taking some measures, no matter how unlikely to be effective, might help.

But...

What if?

Who could say for certain that Jingli Mountain would erupt in exactly two hours and not several days later?

If they did nothing, they might miss the best time to intervene and provide rescue!

Thinking of this, Song Xiangdong spoke into the phone, "Principal Hao, I understand the situation roughly. Please remain safe, and I’ll contact you if there’s any update."

After finishing, he hung up the call and without wasting any time, immediately began arranging the rescue operation.

On the other end.

"Doo-doo-doo..."

Listening to the busy signal, Hao Jianhua was also a bit puzzled. What did Song Xiangdong mean, were they going to rescue or abandon it?

However, at this point, he was somewhat overwhelmed and didn’t have the mind to guess the other party’s intentions.

"Since the Security Bureau knows about this..."

"It’s definitely better than them not knowing."

"As for what the Security Bureau will do, that’s beyond my influence at this level."

Seeing the distance between himself and Nohara Hikofu’s group growing, and realizing they were almost out of sight, he quickly picked up his pace to catch up.

It’s often said that university is a small society and a microcosm of the broader world.

That statement couldn’t be more accurate.

Compared to Shenzhao University...

The counties and cities surrounding Jingli Mountain went into complete chaos upon receiving news of the imminent eruption of Jingli Mountain.

Almost everyone stopped what they were doing.

No matter how important the task at hand was...

Nothing was more important than their lives!

After learning the designated evacuation location, they all swarmed toward it.

In an instant, the already narrow roads were jam-packed with cars!

"Beep beep beep—!!!"

"Beep—!!!!"

"..."

Car horns blared one after another.

Each honk was louder than the next.

It never stopped!

Looking ahead, it was just a series of back-to-back traffic jams. What was supposed to be a three-lane road was crammed into four lanes, and in some places, even five lanes emerged.

"Hurry up, what’s causing this jam up front?!"

"Can you drive faster? If Jingli Mountain erupts, we’ll all die here!"

"Was there an accident up front? Even if there was, is that important right now?"

"..."

Many drivers couldn’t stand the congestion anymore, and several even abandoned their cars to proceed on foot.

And they were actually faster on foot.

Moreover...

The scenery they saw along the road was even clearer.

Cars ignoring traffic lights, driving recklessly, accidents where the involved parties just left without addressing the damage, and so on.

All kinds of unimaginable scenes were unfolding in real life.

At this moment...

The entire area around Jingli Mountain resembled the apocalyptic chaos depicted in movies—a truly chaotic urban environment.

But to speak of chaos...

The most chaotic place was Jingli Mountain itself!

The whole area around Jingli Mountain was the most chaotic!

"Dear visitors, we apologize for interrupting your trip, but we have an important announcement. Jingli Mountain is about to erupt!"

"However, please do not worry. The Jingli Mountain Tourism Department has dispatched sufficient and professional staff to guide you and assure you that everyone will be evacuated to a safe location before the eruption."

"Please do not panic to avoid stampedes..."

The mechanical sound of the loudspeaker echoed continuously over Jingli Mountain.

Although the broadcast was clear and precise...

But...

Faced with the enormous danger of an impending eruption, no one was willing to trust the broadcast. In fact, no one even listened to it.

Everyone only trusted themselves!

Believing that through their own efforts, they could escape faster than others!

"Move aside, move aside, let me through!!!"

"Oh, how rude of you! I’m from Atlantis, how dare you shove me?!"

"So that’s why it got so hot on the mountain, it’s going to erupt. Damn... I shouldn’t have come!"

"What was I thinking? Spending all this money just to come to a place that might cost me my life!"

"Ahhh, stop moving forward, can’t you see someone has fallen?!"

"Stop, just stop, if you keep pushing, people in front will fall off the cliff, are you trying to kill someone?!"

"I have money, lots of money, if someone clears a path for me, I’ll pay you!"

"..."
