Urban Super Soldier King

Chapter 1042: Chapter 1042: Earth-shattering Great Explosion

Just as everyone was on high alert, a sudden explosion erupted from an unknown location.

Upon hearing the explosion, Xiang Yu’s heart immediately tightened. Although they had made strict deployments, the enemy still managed to get in.

The moment the explosion sounded, Xiang Yu’s phone rang. It was Wang Ze calling.

"Brother, the police station exploded," Wang Ze reported.

"The police station?" Xiang Yu questioned. They had already set up control in most parts of the city but had neglected the police station.

Just as Wang Ze hung up, Gao Zhitao called.

"Xiang Yu, something happened. The police station was bombed," Gao Zhitao said anxiously.

"Have everyone stay at their posts and do not move. There are police at the station; don’t worry," Xiang Yu reassured him and then instructed Tie Zhuzi to drive towards the police station.

When they arrived at the police station, a cordon had already been set up, and ordinary people were not allowed to enter.

It was rush hour, and the general public only took a quick glance without many lingering.

When Xiang Yu arrived, he too was stopped by the police stationed there. From outside, he could see Gao Zhitao organizing rescue efforts, while Li Kui stood there motionless, looking lost.

Xiang Yu did not rush in. He stood outside as an observer and looked towards the surrounding crowd.

If this incident was truly the work of the Falcon Organization, they would surely have recording equipment to film the area.

"Brother Yu, let’s go inside," Tie Zhuzi said after looking at Xiang Yu.

Although there were police blocking the way, everything would be resolved as long as Gao Zhitao was called over.

"No rush," Xiang Yu replied and took a careful look around.

However, everyone around appeared normal, as they all discussed what exactly had happened.

Some said it was a gas leak, others said it was an accident, but no one associated it with terrorists. To them, terrorists seemed too far removed, only appearing in foreign lands, certainly not in their own vicinity.

Xiang Yu frowned suspiciously, as he had not found any suspicious persons nearby.

Just then, a sudden flash of light caught his eye. Quickly turning his head, he saw someone on a distant building holding something, engaged in some unknown activity.

"That’s them."

Xiang Yu’s first instinct was that this matter was definitely connected to that person.

Without time to think, he turned and ran toward the building.

Tie Zhuzi and Xiaoxuan, unsure of what was happening, followed Xiang Yu as he sprinted away.

Tie Zhuzi couldn’t keep up due to lacking stamina, always trailing behind.

Xiang Yu reached the building, then ran upstairs. Upon reaching the top, he found it empty, with nothing there but a row of footprints on the ground.

Xiang Yu stood there looking towards the police station. This vantage point provided a clear view, making it easy to monitor the situation inside.

"He ran away," Xiaoxuan commented, standing there.

Xiang Yu nodded silently. The extent of the explosion’s seriousness at the police station was still unknown, and if it caused casualties, the situation would escalate significantly.

Xiang Yu took out his phone to call Gao Zhitao.

"What’s the situation over there?" Xiang Yu asked.

"Not good. Three officers have already been found dead, and many more are injured," Gao Zhitao replied with sadness. noveldrama

"I understand. Be careful," Xiang Yu said.

The explosion at the police station was indeed unexpected. Many media outlets had gathered outside the station, all eager to obtain first-hand information and learn how the explosion occurred.

Even though there was a cordon, it couldn’t contain the ’enthusiasm’ of the reporters. Several reporters from various media outlets had already breached the cordon, approaching Gao Zhitao with questions.

"Sorry, I’m busy now. I’ll contact you once things settle down," Gao Zhitao said, then rushed into the smoke-filled building.

This scene was captured by the reporters. Meanwhile, on a small plaza beside the police station building, a person stood there in a daze, not moving.

This person was temporary bureau chief Li Kui, who seemed bewildered, not knowing what to do as he watched the billowing smoke in front of him.

This scene was also recorded by some alert reporters.

After retrieving all the deceased and hospitalizing the injured, Gao Zhitao, exhausted, lay down directly on the small plaza.

He felt a pang of sadness, regretting that he hadn’t managed things well enough, resulting in their injuries.

It was at this time that Gao Zhitao received a call from Kong Shenghui.

"What’s the situation over there?" Kong Shenghui asked anxiously.

"Four dead and ten injured; it’s very serious," Gao Zhitao replied weakly.

During the rescue, he had exhausted his energy and was now utterly spent, longing to just lie down and sleep.

But with the Falcon Organization still unapprehended, the city remained dangerous, and he couldn’t let down his guard just yet.

Forcing himself up, Gao Zhitao called Zhang Dacheng.

"Any leads?" Gao Zhitao asked directly.

"None so far, everything’s calm," Zhang Dacheng replied.

"Be careful," Gao Zhitao said before hanging up.

The police station explosion was clearly targeted revenge by the opposition.

Not long after, Kong Shenghui led many workers from the Public Security Department to the site. After all, this wasn’t just any place; if even the police station wasn’t safe, what place in the city would be?

Kong Shenghui, seeing Gao Zhitao in such a state upon arrival, was momentarily stunned. He had watched Gao Zhitao grow, who used to take care of himself without any inclination for self-sacrifice.

"Gather them, let’s have a meeting," Kong Shenghui said, then walked towards another building.

Passing by the small plaza, he noticed Li Kui standing there, trembling slightly.

If not for him returning a bit late, he might have been lying there now.

"You come too," Kong Shenghui said, looking at Li Kui.

Li Kui nodded blankly and then followed inside.

The matter was significant, with their first step being public communication. Naturally, they wouldn’t declare that the police station had been attacked by terrorists.

If they did, it would surely incite public panic, and thus they unanimously agreed to report that equipment malfunction led to a mechanical explosion, resulting in severe consequences.

Secondly, they discussed the basic situation of the event.

The individuals present were leaders in the police system. Gao Zhitao glanced at Li Kui but said nothing. Currently on leave, even he wouldn’t speak first. Seeing that no one else was speaking, Kong Shenghui broke the silence: "If anyone has thoughts, speak up. Time is limited, don’t waste it."

Despite his words, there was still no response from the group...
