Luke and his three companions went to the parking lot together, said goodbye to each other, and drove away.
Luke and his friend decided to go home, so they headed south to Brooklyn.
Matt seemed to be in trouble, so Fudge took him to the west.
It was already past one o'clock, and there were more pedestrians on the street, including many who had left work early like Luke and the others.
They had relaxed smiles on their faces, and it's always nice to get away from the busy work for a while.
Luke and Selina were also discussing what to eat tonight.
Luke suggested eating hotpot, but Selina touched her buttocks and shook her head firmly.
Even if he assured me again and again, it wouldn't work to have a double-pot this time.
In her words, it was torture for her to not be able to eat the white soup alone while having to watch him eat the red soup.
As they were sawing back and forth, suddenly a loud bang sounded not far from the side.
The two of them looked in the direction where the sound came from almost at the same time.
Luke turned the steering wheel and Selina pulled out her police badge wallet.
There is no doubt that the sound was an explosion.
And the place where they were located was the busiest area in Brooklyn, with people everywhere.
Such an explosion would inevitably cause serious chaos, and they would be busy.
Luke was driving, and Selina had already used the walkie-talkie to report the situation here to the headquarters.
When the car approached the explosion area, she sped up her description: "… There is a lot of smoke and dust at the subway station entrance. It is suspected that the explosion occurred inside the subway station. It is very likely that a large number of people were injured. Please dispatch police and paramedics immediately."
She looked around and saw people crying and running all around. Many of them were covered in dust and many had blood on their bodies.
This time something really big happened.
Having said that, she dropped the walkie-talkie, grabbed a tactical vest printed with the NYPD logo, pushed the door open and got out of the car.
Luke on the other side was one step ahead and had already started running forward, reminding everyone: "Let the gold nugget follow you at all times, don't separate."
No matter how you look at it, this explosion looks like an air raid, so there is a possibility of a secondary explosion.
He has primary self-healing protection, but Selina doesn't, so she has to carry the gold nuggets with her to be safe.
At this moment, the gold nugget also started to sob.
Selina put on the vest and patted the dog's head: "I know you don't like loud noises, but now there is no noise, right?"
The gold nugget said nothing more.
It wasn't complaining just now, but reminding her to be vigilant.
Explosions can easily cause high-decibel noise and fire, both of which have a great impact on it and may cause some problems.
But Selena and it are in tune with each other, so just saying this is enough.
The two men got out of the car and ignored the people running on the street. Although these people were in a mess, the problem was not serious.
The most serious situation is definitely inside the subway station.
There are quite a few passengers in there, and the trauma from the explosion in a closed space would be more severe.
When they ran to the subway entrance, they breathed a sigh of relief. At least the building had not collapsed and the rescue workers could go in directly.
Luke swept his feet and kicked away all the debris blocking the passage, clearing a relatively complete path.
He walked very fast, kicking as he walked, and it only took him more than ten seconds to get to the subway station.
It is dark here now, most of the lights are off, and there is thick dust everywhere. Only scattered emergency lights provide weak light in a few corners.
Luke dug into his pocket, took out two masks, and handed one to Selina.
When the mask is close to the mouth and nose, it will automatically stick to it, allowing both people's mouths and noses to be clear.
Gas masks with nanotechnology are still somewhat useful.
There is no need for gold bars, as they have already protected the mouth, nose, eyes and ears of the US dollar.
Luke: "I'll go in and rescue people. You clean up the entrance. When the rescuers arrive, have them evacuate the injured directly."
Selina nodded and walked to the side.
As the two talked, they each took out the small flashlight from their waists, turned it on, stuffed it into the Velcro on the shoulder of their vests, and started working.
Luke walked inside, replaced his Gucci sunglasses with yellow polarized lenses, activated the scanning function, and quickly searched for the injured in the subway station.
With his keen sense of smell, he gave priority to rescuing those who were seriously injured, and only said a few words of comfort to those who were slightly injured, telling them that rescuers would arrive soon.
Those who were lightly injured might not be in any trouble for a while, but many seriously injured people might not be able to be saved if they are a little later.
What made him feel a little relieved was that the explosion occurred in a corner of the subway station.
There weren't many people there to begin with, and there was no subway arriving at the station, so there were no more people in the subway station.
Even so, when they got off, there were nearly a hundred people in the subway station.
Except for a dozen or so people who were not seriously injured and managed to escape, the remaining seventy-plus people were all injured, and most of them were not lightly wounded.
Most of the people had dazed expressions, just lying on the ground, with blood coming out of their ears and noses, obviously injured by the explosion.
Some were groaning, some were crying, some were praying, and some were calling for help. It was like hell on earth.
Luke saved more than a dozen people and became annoyed: "Selina, when will the rescue arrive?"
Selina: "A few patrol officers came, and two fire trucks just arrived, but several ambulances were stuck two blocks away and couldn't move forward quickly."
Luke: “Let them hurry up.”
He didn't mean to blame the paramedics.
There was an explosion here, and a lot of people must have fled in all directions.
In the panic, traffic accidents and traffic jams are inevitable.
But there are too many seriously injured people here.
After all, his speed was limited, and for most of the people he rescued, the injuries were only temporarily controlled.
If the ambulance had arrived half an hour later, at least twenty or thirty more people would have died here.
The bigger problem is not here.
The Polyhedron System has just sent a message that explosions occurred in the three most densely populated districts of New York almost at the same time.
Explosions occurred at two subway stations near Wall Street in Manhattan.
There are three in Queens and three in Brooklyn.
The police radio station had been blown up and mobile phone communications had also experienced a certain degree of congestion.
However, smartphones can use Fetion's instant messaging function through the Internet to communicate at will.
In particular, Fetion's group function allows people to exchange messages and also to temporarily create a group and invite colleagues to join, replacing the walkie-talkie and turning it into a front-line command platform.
The polyhedron system received countless relevant intelligence, allowing Luke to know what was happening in various parts of New York even when he was saving people in the subway station.
It was for this reason that he felt quite heavy-hearted.
There are really too many people injured, and even more seriously injured.
Judging from the casualties in the subway station where he was, the explosions in eight subway stations would have killed over a hundred people within half an hour, seriously injured thousands, and caused countless minor injuries.
