In the blink of an eye, a week passed.
At noon, outside the small town of Shambhala, on the top of the mountain of Mine No. 13.
The sun was shining on the earth, and it was quiet on the top of the mountain, with only vague figures running around.
The person running was Didak. Although it was already the cold month of November in late autumn and early winter, and the temperature at noon was not very high, he was still sweating profusely at this time.
Didak's expression was extremely serious, and he quickly ran past the explosion spots where large alchemy tools were placed, carefully checking whether there were any flaws.
Running down a hundred meters of pre-blasting line, sweat poured from his face into his eyes.
"Pu Chi Pu Chi..."
Didak ran behind the low wall of a bunker at the end, took a long breath, and wiped the sweat casually, not completely relieved. He raised his head, looked to one side, looked at the team members behind several bunkers not far away, and shouted: "Each team, check the situation again, and report to me after checking!"
"Yes, Vice Captain Didak!"
After hearing this, many people immediately jumped out from behind the low wall of the bunker and ran to the explosion point to check. After checking, he waved to the leader of his group.
The team leader reported to Didak in turn:
"A safe group!"
"Second group safe!"
"Three groups safe!"
“…”
"Group nine is safe!"
"Ten groups are safe!"
All the teams reported once, and Didak had an idea in his mind. He turned to look at the person in charge of the entire team behind him—the captain, Sean.
"Captain Sean, all three inspections have passed. Do you think we should continue in accordance with the procedures?" Didak asked.
After hearing this, Sean, who was in his forties, nodded with satisfaction. He saw everything Didak did and said loudly: "Didak, you did a great job, even better than I thought. Even better.
Before you came, I preferred Barry for your position, but in the end I promoted you. Now, tell me with actual performance that I did nothing wrong.
So, don't be verbose anymore, just follow what I taught you and continue everything according to the procedure. I trust you, you can't go wrong. "
"yes!"
Didak had a solemn expression, turned to look at the prepared team members, and shouted:
"Prepare to demolish the first level! All teams, gather team members. The peripheral team checks whether there are any irrelevant personnel within the scope!"
"One group has been collected!"
"The second group has been collected!"
“…”
"The ten groups have been collected!"
"The peripheral team has completed the inspection and there are no irrelevant personnel. We can proceed to the next level of preparation."
…
"Okay!" Didak took a deep breath, "Prepare to demolish the second level, the peripheral team evacuates, and the working team distributes fire sticks!"
"Outside teams began to withdraw and stopped responding."
A dozen or so people on the lookout shouted, ran quickly into the distance, and disappeared after a while.
Then the team leader behind the low wall of each bunker opened an iron box and distributed the so-called "fire sticks" inside to each igniter in turn. The distribution is complete, please report quickly.
"One group is finished distributing fire sticks."
"The second group has finished distributing fire sticks."
“…”
"The distribution of fire sticks to the ten groups is completed."
…
"Okay!" Didak's expression became extremely serious, "Prepare to dismantle the third level. All igniters leave the bunker and report to the predetermined location."
Members of each group skillfully climbed over the low wall and ran to the predetermined location.
"One group of reports has been completed."
"Group 2..."
“…”
"Ten groups of reports have been completed."
…
"Huh!" Didak took a deep breath, "Prepare to dismantle the final stage, open the fire stick, and listen to my command. After my command is given, the ignition must be completed within two seconds. After that, regardless of success or failure, you must leave. Ignite the fire position and evacuate behind the low wall of the bunker. Understand?"
"clear!"
Following the response, dozens of igniters opened the lids of the fire sticks, and faint flames emerged from inside.
"Three! Two! One! Fire!" Didak shouted.
Dozens of igniters rushed the flames from the fire sticks towards the arranged alchemy props leads, quickly ignited them, and then quickly hid towards the low wall of the bunker behind them. They are no longer rookies. They have experienced the same thing many times before, and they know very well that if they want to survive, they should not hesitate.
At this time, Didak kept shouting: "Retreat, run! Run!"
"Get down! Hide behind cover! Don't look up!"
"By the way, remember, don't put your body completely on the ground! Use your arms and legs to hang your body up and do the plank movement Mr. Waltz said to avoid injuring your body."
After a while, only Didak's voice echoed on the entire mountain. Everyone was extremely nervous and leaned behind the low wall of the bunker in a weird posture, waiting for something quietly.
Slowly, Didak's voice disappeared, and everyone was waiting for something.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
After three seconds of complete silence, the world suddenly turned from silence to noisy.
No, not noisy, but roaring!
"Boom!"
First there was a blast, and then there were continuous and countless blasts.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..."
The explosions were so continuous that they were almost indistinguishable from each other. The ground entered a high-speed vibration mode and was shaking crazily.
The sound of "咻廻咻" continued to sound, and a lot of gravel bombarded behind the bunker's low wall, and some gravel flew out from above the low wall and fell around.
This situation lasted very briefly, only a few seconds before and after, but it was also very long. To the people behind the bunker, it felt like they had been in the mouth of a terrifying beast for as long as a century.
Eventually, the roar disappeared and the world became quiet again.
But soon, Didak's shout came again. He leaned behind the bunker and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Each team counts the effectiveness of the spells and props they are responsible for."
After a while of whispers, each group leader began to report information:
"A group of seven alchemy props are installed, and there are sure to be seven explosions, all of which are effective!"
"The second group installed eight alchemy props, and there were eight explosions, all of which took effect!"
“…”
"Ten groups have installed six alchemy props, and there are sure to be six explosions, all of which are effective!"
Fortunately this time, the number of blasts reported by all groups matched the number installed. But even so, Didak waited for more than a full minute before standing up from behind the low wall of the bunker.
After standing up, Didak looked forward and saw that the large stone wall had completely collapsed and turned into a large area of ore of various colors, and the landscape had changed drastically.
Although he had experienced it many times, he still couldn't help but feel excited after watching it, and exclaimed: "It's really exciting!"
After sighing, he turned to everyone in the team and shouted: "Okay, our work is over. Everyone starts to leave and rest. Notify the disaster relief team to come and check."
After speaking, Didak waved his hand and led everyone away towards the distance.
