Chapter 298: Or… It Was Blown Up!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Did they see anyone?” he asked.
“The villagers didn’t see anyone because it was midnight,” the sergeant replied.
This was most unfortunate. If the villagers had seen someone, they could prove that someone had deliberately destroyed the river bank and caused the flood.
Since there were no witnesses, they could only investigate slowly.
“However, the villagers nearby said that they had guessed the river had burst its banks because of the loud sounds. This gave them a chance to climb onto the roofs for safety.”
!!Those who did not hear the loud noises were not as lucky. Many were swept away by the floodwaters. Although so much time had pa.s.sed since then, they never returned.
“Let’s take a look at the embankment collapse site.”
“Yes, Deputy General,” the soldiers replied and followed Yan Nuo.
…
Along the Cascade River…
The river had already calmed down. There would be no problem even if its banks had a huge hole.
Nonetheless, the villagers spontaneously organized themselves to pick rocks to fill the hole alongside the people sent by the local authorities.
When Yan Nuo and the soldiers arrived, everyone was working, exhausted and panting.
“Go help,” he instructed the soldiers behind him.
“Yes, Deputy General,” they replied and went forward to move the rocks.
Yan Nuo still could not figure out what the loud sound was. “A loud sound?”
Was it the sound of water rus.h.i.+ng out and hitting something?
However, that would not be loud enough for the villagers to hear from afar. It was clearly not the sound of water but something else.
But what would that be?
Sharp-eyed, he suddenly noticed a large rock that one of the villagers carried.
The rock bore distinct traces of impact as if someone had used a hammer to break it in two.
“Wait a minute.”
He walked over, his gaze fixed on the rock in the villager’s arms.
“Uh…”
The villager stood in awe when he saw the armored man and thought he had committed a crime.
Shuddering, he dropped the rock in his arms, causing it to fall to the ground.
Fortunately, Yan Nuo pulled him aside quickly, so the rock missed his feet.
“Sir… Sir, I’m just… just moving rocks.”
I’m only moving rocks. I didn’t do anything wrong. I won’t be arrested, right?
“It’s fine. You can go first. I’ll carry this rock.” Yan Nuo waved at him.
“Yes, yes.” The villager heaved a sigh of relief and quickly ran away.
Yan Nuo, who remained where he was, squatted down and inspected the rock. He reached out and touched it.
“Was it struck by something or… It was blown up!”
His eyes lit up. He realized how a large rock like this could be left with such a mark—explosives.
Those people used explosives to blow up four holes in the Cascade River, causing the river to flow through. That was what caused the “natural disaster”!
The explosions at the Cascade River also caused the epidemic outbreak.
He clenched one hand into a fist and punched the rock as he cursed, “d.a.m.n it! These people deserve to die!”
