None of the four people in the car had any intention of meddling in other people's business, let alone watching the fun.
So after reaching an agreement, Ding Ning turned the steering wheel, stepped on the accelerator, and drove quickly back to Chen Xin's refuge.
Fortunately, the high-speed rail station was not far from Chen Xin's shelter, and the four of them soon returned to Chen Xin's shelter.
After parking the car and getting out of the car, Li Yulong asked Chen Xin nervously: "Brother Chen, what happened? Is that really an explosion?"
"It's hard to say whether it was an explosion, but it definitely wasn't the sound of a falling meteorite." Chen Xin's face was also very serious at this time. He thought for a while and said to Li Yulong: "Xiaolong, you'd better take your people back quickly, go back After that, remember to close the door of the shelter, don’t open it if you have nothing to do, and call the police if anything happens.”
"Okay, I listen to you, Brother Chen!" Li Yulong didn't show any temper at this time and agreed directly.
After reminding Chen Xin to pay attention to safety, he returned to the city with his men who had been waiting outside Chen Xin's shelter.
Watching Li Yulong leave, Chen Xin also closed the door of the shelter.
As the heavy nickel-chromium alloy steel door closed, Chen Xin felt relieved.
"A Xin, what do you think is going on? Could it be..." Qin Lan asked Chen Xin with a serious look on her face.
Her professionalism as a special police officer already allowed her to recognize that it was an explosion. Considering recent events, she naturally made some guesses.
Chen Xin looked slightly hesitant. He was not sure whether the explosion was caused by the terrorists that Qin Lan guessed, but he still said to Qin Lan: "It may be, so I will close the door for the time being. Before confirming the safety, A Lan You and Xiao Ding had better not go out."
"Okay." Regarding Chen Xin's decision to temporarily close the shelter and not go out, Qin Lan answered affirmatively, and Ding Ning on the side also nodded.
Although Qin Lan wanted to bring those terrorists to justice and avenge her sacrificed comrades, she was by no means reckless.
Qin Lan clearly knows that she alone cannot fight against a group of terrorists, and her current task is to protect Chen Xin. Before completing this task, she cannot leave Chen Xin's side.
What's more, before she figured out what happened, even if she wanted to go out to catch terrorists, she didn't know where to catch them. The explosion just now was so sudden that she couldn't tell where the sound came from.
The three of them agreed and returned to the shelter.
At this time, Ding Ning grabbed Chen Xin and asked him, "A Xin, what do you think caused the explosion just now?"
"It's hard to say, there are too many things that can explode." As for what caused the two explosions just now, Chen Xin could not make a judgment: "It may be that terrorists attacked shelters in the city, or maybe It may be that the city government is suppressing terrorists, or it is more likely that terrorists are attacking somewhere else... There are too few clues from the two explosions alone, and I can't tell what happened."
"Then let me contact my dad and ask what happened?" The first thing Ding Ning thought of was her father, a SWAT captain.
Chen Xin shook his head slightly and stopped Ding Ning's move: "Wait a minute. If something really happens, Uncle Ding is busy now. If you contact him now, you will only cause trouble for him."
Hearing what Chen Xin said, Qin Lan agreed and said: "Yes, Aning, no matter what caused the explosion just now, even if it is not a terrorist, the team is busy now. You can contact the captain at this time." , he doesn’t have time to say anything more to you, so let’s wait and talk.”
Seeing what Qin Lan and Chen Xin said, Ding Ning also gave up the idea of contacting Uncle Ding immediately, but was still worried about the situation in the city: "It would be great if we could know what happened."
"It's not that easy! There's not even a radio in the urban area right now." Chen Xin couldn't help but shook his head.
It stands to reason that after the disaster, although the TV signal was gone due to various reasons, the radio should have been there, but I don't know why the city government has not resumed broadcasting, so that Chen Xin now has no channel to learn some news.
There was no new news, and the three of them could not come up with any results even if they discussed it. In the end, they casually chatted about their opinions and stopped talking about this topic.
————————————————————
At this time, the battle against terrorists in the urban area has ended.
Although terrorists detonated a bomb at the door of the city's shelter, because the city government had been prepared for this and the door of the city's shelter was also heavily guarded, the bomb that was supposed to be brought into the shelter to be detonated was blocked by the door. Not to mention, the terrorists who attacked the city government shelter were also suppressed by the special police, armed police and the army who had prepared an ambush in advance.
Although this group of terrorists showed a fierce fighting spirit and were not afraid of death, they lacked weapons and were blocked at the closed door of the city shelter. The terrorists were quickly eliminated.
The few remaining survivors were deliberately left behind by the special police in order to obtain intelligence.
Just watching his men clean up the battlefield, Uncle Ding and the commander of the armed police force had ugly expressions. Even the officers from the army on the side had the same livid face.
Originally, everyone should be happy that the terrorists could be eliminated so successfully. However, after the terrorists detonated the bomb during the previous battle, the second explosion in the distance made everyone understand that what was happening in front of them was Terrorists are just smoke bombs thrown by the other side, who also attacked other places.
"Have you checked it out? Where did the explosion occur?" Uncle Ding looked at the political commissar beside him and asked him seriously.
The political commissar nodded with an ugly face and whispered: "It's a railway bridge leading to Hubei Province. The terrorists blew up the bridge."
"What?!" Uncle Ding's face suddenly changed. He obviously realized the seriousness of the problem: "Didn't I remind the railway comrades before that we must strictly ensure railway safety? Why did we blow up the railway bridge?"
Upon hearing the news, the faces of the armed police commander and army officers suddenly changed and they became nervous.
There is no reason why Uncle Ding and the others are not nervous. Most of the materials in this city currently rely on external input. The railway is the lifeline of the surviving 200,000 people in this city. Once this lifeline is blocked, the city's 200,000 citizens will be affected. Serious impact.
"How is the damage to the railway bridge? Can it be repaired?" Uncle Ding asked the political commissar.
However, the political commissar shook his head: "The specific situation is still unclear. Comrades from the railway and Lao Zhang's team have already rushed to the scene."
Hearing what the political commissar said, Uncle Ding said nothing more, while the armed police commander and army officers on the side were also silent.
This incident really has a huge impact.
The subsequent emergency meeting undoubtedly confirmed this. The blown-out railway bridge seriously affected the smooth flow of railways between Hubei Province and this city.
Although material circulation between Hubei Province and Hunan Province can still take the railway in the direction of Wuling, compared with going from this city, it will undoubtedly take a long detour, seriously affecting the material transportation between the two provinces.
According to the results of the on-site assessment by railway staff, it will take at least seven days to repair the railway bridge, even if it works 24 hours a day.
Seven days is not something that the city government cannot withstand. The existing material reserves in various shelters in the city are enough to last for two weeks. During this period, as long as the railway bridge is cleared, the material supply can be restored. Therefore, in terms of materials, He said the city government is not worried about this.
What really worried everyone at the meeting was coal.
After the disaster, all the city's electricity sources came from thermal power generation from thermal power plants, which required the consumption of large amounts of coal every day.
In the past, because the railway was still open, a special coal train would enter the city from the direction of Hubei Province every three days, bringing necessary coal to the city. Therefore, although the coal consumption is not small, the city government can still omit it. There is a surplus, enough coal for about five days.
This is just in case and can be used for emergencies.
But it is obvious that even if it is used sparingly, this batch of coal cannot last for seven days.
"Can the province support some coal-burning?" The city government officials looked at the officials from the provincial government. At this time, they could only ask the province for help first.
"Yes, but the deployment will take some time, and comrades in the city may need to overcome difficulties first." Of course, there is no lack of support at this time, but it takes time to transport supplies from other places.
The leaders of the city government were satisfied with the result, so several major leaders made a decision after discussion.
"Comrades on the railway side must rush to open the railway as quickly as possible. If there are any difficulties, the city government will give you the maximum support. If you need materials, you will give materials and if you need people, it must be within six days... no, five and a half days. Within the time, rush to open the railway!" At this time, the mayor did not care whether his order was inhumane or whether his comrades on the railway could complete it, and directly issued a fatal order.
The railway leaders naturally understood why the mayor gave such an order, so they replied very seriously: "Guaranteed to complete the task!"
At this time, there is obviously no need for long-winded red tape, but practical actions, so after making the guarantee, the railway official left the meeting room and arranged for manpower to start repairing the railway bridge.
However, although the railway promised to repair the railway bridge within five and a half days, the city government still needs to prepare for the worst.
"From now on, all departments must go all out to ensure that the repair of the railway bridge can be completed as scheduled! At the same time, from now on, in addition to necessary electricity, various shelters will begin to adopt power restriction measures to reduce the power generation of power plants to ensure that During this period, each shelter will use coal for heating and the power plant will use coal for basic power generation." The mayor made the final decision.
