My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 571 This isn't how you're supposed to explode!

Why is there only one empty car in such a large parking lot?

These were all Wei Dong's own requests.

From the Golden Mansion to the Animal Village residential building, even Lao Geng and the others were puzzled: since there are no private cars now, why is it necessary to reserve at least one floor for parking?

Commercial office buildings like the Xishan Electronics Building, located on a spacious site, not only have an underground parking garage but also an outdoor parking lot surrounding the building.

There aren't that many cars. Right now, none of the researchers in the electronics building have a car.

Wei Dong was too lazy to explain how difficult parking would be in the future, and only said that it was a way to secretly retain some real estate profits.

There are only a few dozen empty parking spaces now.

Only his four-wheel drive van, with crash bars, off-road tires, painted entirely black, and bearing a conspicuous "X" mark, was parked there.

We should also try to understand Wei Dong's mindset. He really loves cars, and he must really like the Mercedes and BMWs parked in the factory. But with so many eyes watching him from the inside out, even Qin Yuye only gets to touch his Defender occasionally.

The ability to suppress desires after a lifetime of poverty is something only the poor can understand.

In this respect, he was as experienced as someone who hadn't been with a woman for forty years.

He estimates that he won't be able to fully enjoy life until the mid-to-late 1990s; for now, he's just working hard to save money.

So even though everyone knows this minivan only costs tens of thousands of yuan, I couldn't resist decorating it a bit differently.

Just as they were saying that the biggest problem with Building 5 in Shanghai was the lack of parking, the two noticed that there seemed to be someone behind their car.

It was an open space with very little obstruction, and the bright June sun made it seem as if there were shadows of people beside the wheels.

Wu Shengyun, with his wealth of experience in the ways of the world, said: "You should still bring Sister Yue's two younger brothers with you. We're better off working on boats now..."

He quickened his pace, wanting to get there ahead of time to check on the situation.

Those who can't hide behind the scenes will come out.

It was precisely Wu Shengyun's few steps that allowed him to slightly block Wei Dong.

With her face contorted in barely suppressed rage, Xiao Fan didn't even get a full look at Wei Dong's hand...

Yes, it was that technician who was laid off. He was wearing a very ordinary Dacron shirt. He stood up abruptly, and there was no place to hide in the empty space around him.

He actually swung what he was holding and threw it at Wei Dong!

Wu Shengyun was the kind of skinny, unsporty guy who never played basketball with Rang Weidong. He wanted to pounce on the screen, but then he heard Rang Weidong shout from behind, "Little Wu, lie down..."

Without hesitation or regard for appearances, he immediately rolled to the ground, allowing Wei Dong to fire.

Upon seeing that it was Xiao Fan who had emerged from behind the car, Wei Dong immediately drew his gun.

These days, most pistols are carried in leather cases, properly on the waist, with the handle facing backward and clipped onto the belt, creating a large bulge.

The only exception was the leather holster that Ding Haifeng had Wei Dong make; it was reversed on the belt at the back of his waist, with the handle facing forward.

Even with the baby carrier on his chest, Wei Dong skillfully pulled the pistol from under his shirt with his right hand, his middle and index fingers smoothly cocking the gun and sliding to the trigger to fire...

Because of his keen eyesight, which is used to watching the movements and flight trajectories when playing, he was almost scared out of his wits by the corner of his eye!

Those were actually bundles of detonators!
Thirty or forty years later, this would be rare in the city, but now it's very common. Many country kids have had the suicidal experience of using detonators to blast fish.

There are especially many engineering and infrastructure troops and mining units!

The thing that was thrown out had a long, thin thread attached to it, like a blood-dripping guillotine, which made Wei Dong realize that this was an electric detonator!
So without saying a word, he fired immediately, bang! bang bang!

He fired while dodging and running sideways.

They didn't even need to hit the target; they just wanted to get as close as possible to this madman before he fired and stop him.

It still wasn't in time; electric detonators have almost no fuse waiting time.

Just like a light switch, as long as the battery power is connected, it will detonate instantly, no matter how you do it!

With a loud bang, Wei Dong felt as if he had been struck on the back by a huge hammer, and he completely lost control of his steps and staggered forward!
Even so, the thought that the child was in his chest and would not be hurt flashed through his mind. While holding on until he fell to the ground, he fired again and hit Xiao Fan, who was two or three meters away!

Then, she hugged the child tightly with her left arm, using herself as a protective shield, and slammed to the ground, rolling around until she couldn't get up at all...

I felt so suffocated I wanted to spit out a mouthful of blood.

A large section of the glass in the adjacent floor-to-ceiling window was also shattered!

The car's side window was also shattered...

That's quite a spectacle!
Wei Dong kept his eyes fixed on the guy who was still rolling and struggling on the ground, the pressure-activated detonator that had fallen from his hand, and the corner of a paper tube sticking out of the military satchel on the ground next to him.

He was desperately trying to figure out how many bullets he had left and whether he should get a new magazine, but lying on his side on the ground, he couldn't muster any strength.

Such a split-second reaction takes too much effort.

At this moment, the guards in the hall rushed out with guns, and were even more astonished when they saw the scene before them.

While pointing the gun at the figure whose shirt was covered in blood, he helped Wei Dong up, saying, "Call the police...call the police, get the police to handle this...get the head of the technical department over here, this is revenge from a fired technician..."

Aside from the security personnel at places like the White Building, Animal Village, and the Old Factory, who included some fellow villagers from Shangzhou and were all under Gou Dan's command, key locations like the Xishan Electronics Building were entirely staffed by the Construction Corps Guard Company—a proper combat unit.

Hearing the noise, he had no concept of protecting the scene and rushed over, angrily grabbing the person and turning them over: "That's right! It's Xiao Fan from the technical department..."

"This explosive isn't from our depot... nor is the detonator, and there's rope too; he's planning to tie it to the undercarriage!"

Wei Dong then noticed that Wu Shengyun, who had been helped up, was pale and had blood on the corner of his mouth.

They didn't dare drive the van anymore and quickly notified a nearby construction site to find a vehicle to take the person to the hospital.

Wu Shengyun insisted on waving his hand: "It should be...it should be fine. Let me lean against something and rest for a while..."

The guard quickly helped him up and made Wei Dong sit further away.

They had already started inspecting the underside of the car with flashlights, and following Wei Dong's gestures, they pulled the man who had been shot three times and whose shirt was covered in blood further away.

Let the police handle it.

Wei Dong didn't even bother to look at that faint, resentful gaze.

The guards, familiar with the situation, followed the severed power lines and the debris scattered around them, confirming that two or three electric detonators had been detonated.

It explodes in the air when thrown out, without any damaging fragments; its only impact is the shockwave.

Fortunately, it was a finger-thick electric detonator, rather than an electric detonator inserted into the few paper tubes of explosives in the backpack.

Military explosives themselves won't explode no matter how they're cut, chopped, or burned; they need to be detonated with a detonator.

Therefore, the detonator often has a power similar to a super-sized firecracker, like the high-powered firecracker videos that Wei Dong used to enjoy watching.

The power to send a pressure cooker flying into the sky is greatly reduced when it explodes in open air.

If it were a blast wave from explosives, none of the three of them would likely survive.

As for tying the explosives to the bottom of the car, waiting for Wei Dong to come over, open the door, get in, and then detonating them from behind a flower bed, that would definitely result in them being blown to pieces.

The development zone police station, which arrived quickly, followed by the city police, immediately reached this conclusion.

The guards carrying the Type 56 assault rifles only asked if the person belonged to a third-tier military industrial unit before immediately handcuffing the wounded soldier and taking him away in a police car.

Criminals of this caliber are basically doomed at this point.

By the way, right now, none of the major hospitals in Jiangzhou have ambulances available.

All the vehicles were civilian vehicles transporting patients to the hospital. The emergency center, which was being built with Italian aid, was still under construction and had not yet started operating.

When Shen Cuiyue arrived in a van in a great hurry and took the three of them to a nearby hospital, the city's secretary, Director Tang of the development zone, and Lao Geng and Lao Huang, who were preparing to start construction at the old factory, all rushed to the hospital.

The situation is already very clear.

The construction site of the North District Commercial Center said that they saw Xiao Fan wandering around there a few days ago.

He was prevented from entering the factory area and barracks.

The only loophole is that Wei Dong has recently started coming and going from the electronics building, where his car is parked outside.

If Wu Shengyun hadn't come to see the boss today and taken him back to the White Building to discuss work before picking up Erwa's mother from get off work, Wei Dong would almost always be an hour or so before going downstairs to drive and pick her up.

Having observed the suspect for several days, they had ample time to place the explosives under the car, without even needing to secure them.

With the power of those few tubes of military explosives, just placing them inside the tires under the driver's seat would be enough to blow the entire vehicle to smithereens. Technicians who used to calculate explosive quantities in underground engineering projects were very familiar with this result.

The explosives and detonators were obtained by that guy from other factories in the surrounding area after he secretly returned to his original post these past few days, only to be refused entry back to the camp by the guards on duty who had already received orders.

Apart from the infrastructure troops, the management of military factories and other such things is really not strict, especially during this chaotic period of restructuring.

So soon after, city leaders came to the hospital to offer their condolences.

Wei Dong could only maintain a calm demeanor and say that it was nothing and thanked him for his concern, before finally groaning and telling him to lie down for a while. He said that such formal communication was tiring.

Dong Xueqing was finally picked up by car, and tears welled up in her eyes when she saw Rang Weidong lying on the hospital bed.

Old Shen quickly told him to rest for a while: "The X-ray has been taken, he won't die..."

Upon hearing this, Fengchu burst into tears. Xiaodie glanced at him with disdain and silently squeezed into her father's arms, confirming that it was the safest place.

Wei Dong turned to Wu Shengyun on the hospital bed next to him and smiled wryly: "See? He just saw a fortune, and then immediately got a death warning. That's how exciting life is."

Wu Shengyun also recovered: "Those who survive a great calamity are bound to have good fortune in the future. I am fortunate to have this blessing because I followed my elder brother."

At least Wei Dong managed to run a few steps when he was hit by the blast, which helped cushion the impact of the shockwave. Wei Dong, on the other hand, was stuck on the ground and couldn't run, so he was hit harder.

Lie down.

Old Geng returned with the diagnosis report, a little shaken: "If something goes wrong with you, how am I supposed to explain this to the leaders at all levels..."

Thinking of this, Wei Dong quickly left: "Take him back, take him back, lest more people come to offer their condolences. I need to go back and wait for news..."

This one's already exploded, why hasn't the other one exploded yet?
