The explosion spread far and wide. Not only was the pier completely razed to the ground, but many of the surrounding residents were also implicated.

When s.h.i.+ Man and the others arrived, the event location was filled with the smell of burning. The fire had been completely extinguished, and the rescue team was carrying out corpses from the burned houses one after another.

The human world seemed to have turned into purgatory in an instant. Miserable wails could be heard everywhere. The white cloth wrapped around these innocent people became the only bright color in the charred world.

The sudden explosion shocked the entire city. The location of h.e.l.lgate’s base was completely exposed to the public. Overnight, the once influential Jun family became a street rat that everyone hated. Jun Mo disappeared without a trace.

When s.h.i.+ Ke found s.h.i.+ Man, he saw her partic.i.p.ating in the rescue with Yi Zheng. She had just saved a girl who had fainted from the ruins when she rushed into another burned house to bring the next person out.

His heart ached as he grabbed her hand. Only then did he realize that his usually calm sister was actually trembling all over.

“Manman, take Su Tang and Mom home first. Leave this to us.”

s.h.i.+ Man shook her head in a daze. She could only hear heart-wrenching cries. All she could see was a dark world. A tear suddenly fell from the corner of her eye. “rm not leaving. I have to stay. Tell them to go back quickly.”

s.h.i.+ Ke grabbed her wrist disapprovingly. “Manman, it’s too dangerous here. There might be a second explosion at any time. Be good and go home, okay?” “Don’t talk too much!”

Ever since s.h.i.+ Man transmigrated, she had always been respectful to her brothers. This was the first time she had disobeyed s.h.i.+ Ke loudly, but she could not care less now.

“Brother, send Su Tang and Mom home. 1’11 be with Yi Zheng. Nothing will happen.”

Yi Zheng s.n.a.t.c.hed her hand back from s.h.i.+ Ke and said solemnly, “Let’s do that. The situation is critical now. There’s no time for us to waste.”

The area affected by the explosion was too wide. If there was a second explosion, no one in G City would be able to survive.

s.h.i.+ Ke could not persuade her, so he could only choose to trust her. He nodded solemnly and said, “Alright, contact me anytime if there’s anything. You must prioritize your safety.”

After he left, s.h.i.+ Man suddenly held Yi Zheng’s hand and asked, “Do you think this has something to do with our response to the distress message today? Could it be a method used by Nighthawk to take revenge and completely eliminate h.e.l.lgate?”

Yi Zheng was worried about her mental state. He quickly grabbed her shoulder and looked at her seriously. “Don’t let your imagination run wild before the matter is investigated. Even if Zhu Wen sent someone to do it, it has nothing to do with you. He’s the one who’s crazy, understand?”

s.h.i.+ Man looked up at him in a daze. She suddenly took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. “You’re right. What we can do now is to try our best to prevent the second explosion and save more people.”

Su Tang jogged over. The corpses that could not be dealt with in time made her tremble, but she still forced herself to persist until now. “Manman, I’ll go with you. I can definitely do something.”

s.h.i.+ Man frowned and wanted to reject her sternly, but Su Tang had already made up her mind. She said, “Manman, I’m no longer the useless little girl from before. I can do a lot of things. Now, with one more person, you would have more strength, right?”

Her determined gaze shone brightly in this nightmarish night. s.h.i.+ Man was slightly distracted and took a deep breath. “Alright, then follow me closely. You can’t act on your own.”

“Okay.”

The three of them quickly entered the rescue. As s.h.i.+ Man and Yi Zheng were familiar with the source of the explosion, they even investigated all the dangerous items that might cause a second explosion with the police.

Almost everyone in the city did not sleep at all that night. All of them looked at the city on tenterhooks. It was not until noon the next day that the officials announced that they had completely eliminated the danger that everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

The originally lively city was suddenly in chaos. As s.h.i.+ Man sat on a ruin, her entire body was dyed black by the charcoal fire. Her face was also dirty, and her originally fair and delicate skin could not be seen.

Yi Zheng handed her a bottle of water and advised softly, “Go home and rest first. You’ve been busy for more than ten hours.”

“No need.” s.h.i.+ Man’s arm was still trembling when she unscrewed the bottle cap. She took a big gulp of water and the dryness in her throat from the thick smoke barely eased.

Tang Zhe also handed Su Tang a bottle of water and some bread. “The supplies have been distributed to the people who partic.i.p.ated in the rescue. You guys should eat some too, or your bodies won’t be able to take it.”

s.h.i.+ Man’s mind was in a mess now. She smacked her lips in frustration and stuffed everything into Su Tang’s hands. Then, she frowned and stood up to leave. “I don’t need to rest. Go do what you need to do. Don’t worry about me. I still have my own things to do.”

“Are you going to look for Zhu Wen?”

Yi Zheng stopped her from behind. Although it was a question, his tone was very certain..
