36 The Military is in Action! Everyone, Don't Be Afraid!

While everyone buzzed with excitement, Director Zhu remained remarkably composed. He stared at the screen with seriousness and spoke. 

"Stay still for now. It's best not to wander around aimlessly. If you accidentally touch any of these explosives, it could lead to great danger. You're currently in a sealed space. If an accident occurs, no one will be able to shoulder the responsibility."

Understood, Director Zhu." Saa nodded immediately. "We won't move."

Dean Zhu then added another cautionary statement, "I must say that their power is undoubtedly ten times more terrifying than the original!

"When you were on the ninth floor, you saw those guns, right?

"These explosives are the same as those guns. They have been modified.

"Moreover, the power and range of the explosion have increased by more than tenfold.

"Let me pick an example.

"Let's look at the mortar in the right corner."

"The original version could probably blow up a small bunker.

"As they are now, they could obliterate a small village!"

Everyone present gasped involuntarily. The difference between a small bunker and an entire village was far more than just a matter of scale—it was an astronomical leap in destruction.

Meanwhile, Director Zhu continued, "I must also add that these don't look like dummy shells. They're actual explosives!

Hearing this sent shockwaves through the gathering. Captain Zhao and Saa's expressions changed instantly. Mrs. Wang was nearly rendered speechless. Her forehead was covered in perspiration.

The viewers went into a frenzy.

"My God!"

"Isn't this a little too terrifying?!"

"Oh my goodness, there are so many of them! They could blow our nation up!"

"Guys, I think I need to move out now. If I stay here any longer, I might just get blown up out of nowhere..."

"I could be having hotpot and singing, then boom, the end!"

"Didn't Xia Zixin try to blow something up just now?"

"Oh my God, she's got some nerve!"

Captain Zhao's emotions were all over the place. He glanced at everyone and gave a bitter smile. If he were alone, he would have probably collapsed already. However, he had the responsibility of a police captain and the morale of the group to consider. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and persevere.

After taking a deep breath, he approached Xia Zixin, who was sitting on a stool swinging her legs and appearing remarkably relaxed.

He approached her with a hint of nervousness. "Xia Zixin, I have a question for you.

"Are these live ammunition?"

Xia Zixin looked at him quizzically. "Of course they're live ammunition!

"What's the fun in blank cartridges?

"Live ammunition is the most powerful!"

Captain Zhao's legs went weak, and he nearly lost his balance. He managed to steady himself by gripping the corner of a nearby table. He looked at Xia Zixin with a somewhat rueful smile.

Oh, it's darn powerful alright! If anything goes wrong, not only will our lives be at stake, but also the lives of the reinforcements waiting outside!

Those standing nearby almost collapsed to the ground with their legs giving way.

Xia Zixin looked at them curiously. "What's wrong? Are you tired?"

Saa waved his hand. "It's nothing.

"The ground here is clean. Let's sit down and rest for a while..."

Saa felt like he was on the brink of a mental breakdown. He was just a host; how had he ended up experiencing something this perilous? He wasn't a war correspondent!

After taking a deep breath, he muttered, "If I had known, I would've let Cookie do this...

"At least he used to be a war journalist!"

Director Zhu's voice rang out again. "Don't worry, everyone!

"As long as you don't move around, there shouldn't be any accidents!

"Don't worry!

"We're already working on it.

"Currently, the higher-ups are treating this matter with great seriousness.

"Armed helicopters and armored vehicles, as well as various reinforcements, are rushing over.

"Once they arrive, you'll be able to complete the handover and head to a safe location!"

Captain Zhao's eyes widened in shock. Wasn't this getting a bit out of hand?

He had assumed that at most, the regular army would be mobilized. After all, this place had a substantial amount of firearms and artillery shells that needed military protection.

However, he never expected armed helicopters and armored vehicles to show up!

Moreover, according to Director Zhu's tone, these reinforcements weren't your average soldiers; they were special forces!

But regardless of that, they would soon be able to leave this place safely.

Saa, on the other hand, was a bit bewildered. He would have never thought that a simple outdoor live broadcast would feature so many firearms and trigger such a significant military operation.

Fortunately, the workday was finally ending.

Beside him, Mrs. Wang also breathed a sigh of relief. She had experienced an incredibly bizarre day!

Upon hearing Director Zhu's words, the viewers were equally astounded.

"My God!"

"Armed helicopters and armored vehicles?!"

"I saw them while driving on the road. It was quite a spectacle!"

"It was so cool!"
