Chapter 493 Collapse
The sun rises and sets, the moon rises and the moon sets, and the day passes.

The red tree roots drilled deep into the ground like a drill bit, and the soil where it passed was deserted.

Hudu, House No. [-], Honggang Road, Industrial Zone, the chimney of the factory building pierces into the sky, continuously spewing thick black smoke.

The black smoke was blown crooked by the wind and flew into the distance.

Under the black smoke, the workers filed in and signed one by one at the sign-in counter at the gate of the steelworks.

The security guard at the check-in area shook his fox ears. His job was to be a security guard and recognize his face to ensure that no suspicious persons entered the steel plant.

Because of the nature of security work, security guard Camila usually has no holidays and cannot go out to relax, so he secretly chatted with others while others were signing in for work.

"Richards, I heard that the army sealed off all residential areas yesterday. What is the army looking for?" the security guard asked curiously.

"That's because people are panicking." An old middle-aged man shook his head after signing, not in a good mood.

"What are you panicking about?"

"Spy, there are spies in our residential area. The military turned the residential area upside down, but they didn't find the spy."

The security guard was surprised, "Has every corner been searched?"

"Not so fast. The main reason is that the army is short of manpower. It will take two days to search every corner of the residential area." The old middle-aged man shook his head with a constipated expression. It seemed that the military's aggressive search had caused his dissatisfaction.

"What if the spy goes to hide in another district?"

"It's possible, so people in other urban areas are also investigating. But you know, our country of Fox is fighting with the country of tomorrow, and the soldiers are all going to the front to fight. How can there be so many people." The old middle-aged man clapped his hands and went to work up.

The security guard also thought it made sense, but he just loved to gossip, so he asked the next sign-in person.

The people who signed in were all employees in the factory, [-]% were old faces, and [-]% were new faces. The security guards silently remembered the appearance of the new faces in their hearts.

The old and middle-aged workers walked to his post, docked the work, and monitored the operation of the steam engine.

This steelmaking plant has not undergone industrial upgrading, and the power source used in the plant is still a steam engine, and it is an old-fashioned steam engine.

He was about to add coal to the boiler when he heard a small rustling sound from under his feet.

Richards lowered his head and saw a crack in the solid concrete under his feet. The color of the crack was not black, but white.

Because the ground itself is not very clean and there is a lot of coal dust, the ground is usually dark. At this moment, there is a clean white gap, which instantly attracts the attention of the middle-aged man.

His fox ears twitched violently, and he listened to the movement under his feet.

Click, click, the sound was very subtle, as if something was crawling underground, and there was the sound of something cracking.

"what is this?"

Richards leaned over, wiped the white gap with his fingers, and got a hand of white powder.

The powder is very fine, and it refracts the shimmering fluorescent light in the air, which reminds him of pure white quartz sand, and he doesn't know the difference between the two.

rustling.

The sound of sand underfoot increased again, and the gaps were increasing, spreading to the base of the steam engine boiler.

He watched the pure white crack extend to the boiler of the steam engine, and immediately stopped its spread, as if that was not where it spread.

Richards didn't feel very good, and didn't know what was going on, so he touched the white crack with his fingers after getting closer, and once again touched a hand of white powder.

Click, click, there is another white crack under the foot, it is so dazzling on the black ground, it is difficult for people not to see it.

"Director, come and take a look, Director, the ground here is cracked." Richards yelled.

The director was next door, and walked over slowly, not realizing the seriousness of the matter. When he got to the steam boiler, the white cracks had increased to twelve.

"What is this?" The director lowered his head, saw a very conspicuous white crack, and stared blankly at the increasing number of cracks on the ground.

Fifteen, twenty, thirty white marks, more and more white marks, giving people a sense of timelessness.

"Director, I think this place is very dangerous, don't stand here."

Richards heard the rustling under his feet getting louder, as if a large net had been laid under their feet and surrounded them.

The director frowned, bent down and touched the white mark, and also touched a hand of white powder.

"This is……"

The director felt very familiar, but now was not the time to think about such things. He heard a loud click in his fox ears, right under his feet.

"Run!" The director and Richards' expressions changed drastically, and they ran back.

Dozens of white marks appeared out of nowhere on the ground under his feet. With the sound of clicking, the white marks increased sharply, and hundreds of gaps spread to the base of the steam boiler.

The solid concrete surface crashed down, and the orcs ran out of the landslide area ahead of time when they heard the sound, but the large steam engine was not so lucky, and the entire machine fell into it.

……

The gate of the steel factory.

An old-faced orc ran out of the factory, yelling something loudly, because the security guard couldn't hear what he was yelling because he was panting too loudly.

"What are you calling Richards?"

"It's not good, it's not good, the factory, the factory... fell down." His tail trembled violently, and his fox ears stood upright, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

"Something fell, you speak clearly."

"Yeah, something is down in the factory." The orcs queuing up to sign in also yelled, and the fox ear slanted towards Richards, his curiosity was aroused by him.

"The foundation has collapsed." Before Richards finished speaking, there was a bang behind him, like the sound of thunder.

Boom!

The sound of the collapse came from the steel factory, and even the orcs hundreds of meters away heard the loud noise.

A few seconds later, the orcs outside the factory saw a grayish-yellow thick smoke flying out from the factory gate. The thick smoke continued to expand, forming a raging sandstorm in the blink of an eye, covering the gate and both sides of the street.

When the orcs outside the factory saw the sandstorm, they quickly ran in the opposite direction, running alternately with their legs at a speed far exceeding the previous frequency, as fast as they could.

What happened in the steelmaking plant was unknown to outsiders. It was not until half a minute later that the security department of the neighboring plant called the person in charge of the industrial department to report the loud noise and sandstorm.

"Urgent report, this is the security department at No. [-] Honggang Road in the industrial zone. An explosion is suspected in the No. [-] steelmaking plant on Honggang Road next door. The sandstorm has rushed out of the factory."

A calm voice came from the other side of the phone: "Got it."

Ten minutes later, the army came outside the steelworks.

The entire building of the steel factory has collapsed, the steel bars are warped, and huge earth and rocks are inserted in a pile of sand.

Soldiers set up a cordon and sent people into the factory to rescue people, carrying stone slabs to rescue people.

Doctors and nurses from the hospital also came to the scene on bicycles to set up a temporary emergency center to accommodate the wounded.
