Chapter 705 A group of liars!
Jiang Mingfeng looked out of the car window. From this position, he could just see the diphenyl factory across the river, the two towering chimneys, and the warehouse where the raw materials were stored. Leaning back in the seat, he felt so nervous for the first time in more than fifty years.
Su Yang also watched quietly, looking out the window. The sound of the watch turning seemed to be right next to his ear, and the ticking sound of every minute and every second was like a countdown bell.
Not far away, a group of residents who were evacuated from the shantytown were now stopped outside the cordon.
Old Guo shouted loudly.
"Liar, you liars!"
"You are in cahoots with Songjiang Construction, you are a bunch of bastards, you want to demolish our house!"
"You are going to destroy our home!"
The few old ladies who were forcibly taken away were also very dissatisfied.
"I've lived for so long that I've seen everything. They've done everything they could to demolish our house!"
“So many people came here just to tear down our house?”
"They also said this place is polluted and there might be an explosion across the street. They are all liars, a bunch of liars!"
"I bother!"
Several middle-aged men and women were also so angry that they were out of breath.
They have lived in this house for so many years, and three generations of their family have lived here, but today it is going to be demolished in this way!
A young man with a frown on his face.
"Dad, look, the people from Songjiang Construction have also withdrawn, and the entire shantytown has been cleared out. Did something really happen?"
The middle-aged man standing in front of him slapped him in the face with his backhand.
"It's already this fucking time, and you're still considering others!"
"Our house is going to be demolished. How much money is missing?"
"Five hundred thousand. A full five hundred thousand. It's enough for you to buy a house, get married and go to school!"
"You still think they are good people. We have lived in Tiebei Hutong for so many years. What could possibly happen?"
The young man was stunned by the slap and stopped talking.
A group of people then cursed excitedly, and many of them shouted that they would rather lie in the ruins and die there than let Songjiang Construction finish building the building after the demolition was completed.
“Pollution, pollution of what?”
"Explosion, a fucking explosion?"
"These bastards, bastards!"
More and more people were shouting. Su Yang, who was sitting in the car, slowly opened his eyes and watched the minute hand on his watch turn a circle. He slowly opened the door and got out of the car.
Jiang Mingfeng also got out of the car and looked in the direction opposite the river.
In the crowd, a group of slum dwellers who were shouting and cursing suddenly realized something was wrong.
"Over there, why is there a sudden rumble over there? Why is the tank that is filled with materials suddenly emitting steam?"
An old man nearby snorted coldly: "You've never seen the incoming materials before, why are you making such a fuss? I've lived here for many years, and there was a fire a few years ago. That's nothing!"
"Can you please stop looking around and keep cursing? I see that little bastard from the Su family is in there!"
The man who was speaking shook his head: "Uncle Liu, that's not right. Feeding is feeding, why is this thing sticking out?"
He had just finished speaking when, the next second, a burst of fire shot up into the sky. Immediately afterwards, the burning air scattered in all directions, and a dazzling ball of light suddenly rose from the other side of the river.
The people on the other side of Songjiang River were blinded by the light. Then, there was a loud bang, a violent noise that instantly caused tinnitus in their ears.
Along with this loud noise, there comes a shock wave!
The rumbling sound was like tens of thousands of horses galloping. The shock wave spread from the chemical plant to the surrounding areas and headed straight for the Tiebei shantytown.
The glass on the windows of the house closest to the Songjiang River was the first to break, with crackling sounds. The shock wave shook the ground beneath the feet, and then some houses with poor construction quality even cracked directly.
In an instant, there was no intact window within a three-kilometer radius of the chemical plant.
The rising flames illuminated the faces of everyone on the other side of Songjiang River. Su Yang watched quietly, his ears buzzing and his heart was lifted up. He won the bet, but he also didn't want anyone to lose!
The explosion was accidental. Under normal circumstances, according to production regulations, there is no possibility of explosion.
But explosion is also inevitable because it is humans who are operating it, and when accidental factors meet accidental factors, explosion becomes inevitable.
“Exploded…exploded…”
A resident of a shantytown looked at the chemical plant on the other side of the river, the flames so close, the shattered glass all around, and the crowd in panic. He suddenly fell to the ground.
If they had not just been evacuated, they might even have died in there.
Old Guo was trembling all over. He took two steps back and fell to the ground with a thud.
Who would have thought!
It was just Su Yang's casual remark, but the chemical plant actually exploded!
The groups of slum dwellers who had just shouted were now all standing where they were, trembling as they watched the flames from the chemical plant.
The feeling of facing the explosion directly was something they had never experienced in their lives. The shock that struck the soul and the thick smoke and heat waves that hit them in the face made everyone speechless.
Jiang Mingfeng frowned. He was about to gather people to put out the fire, but was stopped by Su Yang again.
"Wait a little longer, there's another explosion..."
Jiang Mingfeng turned around and looked at him. At this moment, he already believed in Su Yang without a doubt.
"How much longer?"
Su Yang glanced at the time: "One minute..."
Secretary Xia, who was standing next to them, looked at Jiang Mingfeng and Su Yang, and his feet trembled suddenly. He seemed to understand why Su Yang appeared here, why there was a conflict between Songjiang Construction and the residents of the shantytowns, and why Jiang Mingfeng dispatched so many fire trucks.
In an instant, he understood why Jiang Mingfeng evacuated the residents of the shantytown as soon as possible.
Several department heads who were waiting outside all rushed to Jiang Mingfeng.
"Mayor Jiang, there's a fire. We're going there now!"
"Yes, Mayor Jiang, there must be something wrong with the chemical plant. I will send someone across the river immediately!"
"Speak up, Mayor Jiang!"
Jiang Mingfeng glanced at the time: "Wait one minute. After one minute, mobilize all rescue personnel and vehicles to start the rescue!"
Several department heads were a little confused. The chemical plant was clearly on fire, and there were so many fire trucks and rescue workers nearby. If they got there earlier, they could save people earlier. If they waited for a minute, several lives might be lost!
But Jiang Mingfeng's attitude was firm, so they could only wait where they were.
One minute passed quickly, and the head of the fire department glanced at Jiang Mingfeng.
Jiang Mingfeng nodded slightly, and the head of the fire department picked up the walkie-talkie. Then, hundreds of firefighters climbed onto the fire truck and headed straight for the chemical plant on the other side of the river.
The next second, a fireball three times larger than the previous one soared into the air!
