Chapter 415 Fate
[The unexplained huge explosion in the Mukuju River deposit has caused doubts and concerns from the outside world. 】
[The huge explosion caused a large-scale collapse of the mine, but your engineering robot "Tanzania" acted as a pillar beam and created a safe area in the collapsed mine]
[But you can only wait for outside rescue for the time being. 】
An explosion of this magnitude would cause concern anywhere, especially in a disputed area.
So how powerful was this explosion?
During the long nuclear war, Lear gradually mastered a "skill": he could estimate at a glance the approximate equivalent of TNT equivalent to an explosion.
The power of this explosion is estimated to be equivalent to 5,000 tons of TNT, equivalent to some small tactical nuclear bombs.
Thanks to the hasty detonation, it is basically a ground explosion. Animals and plants within 1030 meters will be severely burned, and the shock wave overpressure within 2010 meters will be more than 1 psi.
If it occurs in an urban area, buildings within this range will collapse on a large scale and catch fire, with glass and debris flying causing collateral damage.
The mushroom cloud is clearly visible on satellite maps.
However, although this explosion was beyond imagination and completely beyond ordinary people's understanding of "fossil fuels", what made Lear stop thinking was another thing:
He clearly saw a strange black spot appearing in the center of the explosion!
With this black spot as the center, everything in the explosion radius was dyed with strange colors, like oil floating on the sea, the colors were bright and weird.
And unlike those things, these weird colors became clearer and clearer in Lear's head, and along with the severe pain, they finally turned into real pictures.
When the explosion ended, his consciousness was accompanied by huge pain, and he seamlessly switched to the cyberpunk world, the rental house in the H8 skyscraper!
Those inconsistent colors seem to have completely disappeared from memory at this moment, leaving only the same dazzling cityscape in front of me.
At the same time, in another world, Matt, who was still investigating Kate Waste Logistics Company, also sent heavyweight information to Lear:
The manager who illegally transported radioactive nuclear and chemical hazards a few years ago was none other than Jin Bin!
The waste that was poured on him and himself was the waste produced by some kind of secret experiment conducted by the predecessor company of Roxon Energy Group!
An idea suddenly popped into Lear's head: In other words, his ability to constantly travel through the world probably comes from this!
Matt was blinded by the waste, but his senses were exponentially enhanced.
As for Lear, what he got was the ability to travel through other worlds!
The current situation proves that the kind of explosion produced by high-energy concentrated fuel.
It is the so-called "unstable energy"!
[Matt: Anyway, that's the way it is, could it be... fate? After all, now we all know that the conflict between you and Roxon has been put on the table. 】
Destiny indeed.
More than four years ago, Kingpin, who was not yet the emperor of the underworld, arranged for his men to illegally dump hazardous waste as usual. The tired driver dozed off while passing the intersection.
A young man who was having a tantrum with his family was walking across the sidewalk. When the driver saw the young man, he turned the steering wheel sharply and braked suddenly, causing the car to overturn.
Hazardous waste hit the young man, Lille, causing the family to be trapped in medical expenses. His father died of overwork, and his mother supported him until he sold all his assets and was saddled with huge debts.
More than four years later, the awakened Lille became the biggest stumbling block on Roxon’s road to monopoly——
The young man who had been hurt unintentionally ended up standing in front of this giant company.
The war has begun.
Perhaps the outside world only thinks this is a dispute between the Berry Army and the African Union, but in fact it represents the support of two interest groups.
The leaders of these two interest groups happened to have such a past dispute.
Lear sat up from the bed, holding his forehead, digesting the pain.
[Lille: Does Roxon know? 】
[Matt: They don’t know, after all, you and I. You were just another insignificant little character in this world. Kingpin had already taken care of everything for his master. 】
[Matt: Kate Logistics Company has no living people who can serve as witnesses, so the clues have been lost again. 】
It doesn't matter anymore.
Lille looked out the window at Night City, and a holographic advertisement floated past the window:
"Never wait for rescue, the power is in your hands - the Crusher Shotgun, the best expert in desperate times."
[Lille: It doesn’t matter. Everything you do will leave traces. We will find the result sooner or later. 】
[Matt: Are you talking about breaking into Roxen? Recently, I always feel that things will turn out like this. 】
[Liel: Now, do you think the law of Berry Country can still judge them? 】
Matt was silent.
After hanging up the communication with Matt, Leal stood up from the bed, intending to collect his thoughts and figure out the current situation in the Marvel world.
Little Octopus grabbed a lot of information from the Internet and summarized it.
The Mukuju River explosion caused huge damage to the surrounding environment, and the explosion also caused radioactive dust to rise high into the sky and scatter on the wind.
Therefore, although high-energy concentrated oil is not radioactive, the explosion will spread radioactivity to the surrounding area of more than ten kilometers.
The explosion here attracted global attention, but what is even more disturbing is what happened in Somalia:
The African Union claimed that the Berry Army illegally entered Somalia, attacked three ships stationed in the port of Galkayo, and kidnapped 22 officials at the port.
All the news reported this, but in the new media, on the Internet, a completely different truth was revealed:
Three warships and a total of 50 steel soldiers cooperated with the warships to attack the port indiscriminately.
In order to ensure secrecy, the victims included not only the Al-Shabaab itself, which occupied the port, but also locals without any party affiliation, resulting in a total of more than 3,000 deaths!
There is no doubt about the humanitarian crisis: yes, there may be five pirates out of ten people in Somalia, which is almost anarchic, and one is a member of an extremist organization.
But what about the rest?
To a certain extent, people who did not engage in extreme activities even in such a harsh environment may be kinder, but now they are all dead.
This incident caused an uproar, and public opinion boiled fiercely again:
The main war faction believes that the Berry Army is going to "seek justice" and to eliminate terrorists. It is the African Union that supports the terrorists. This is a direct declaration of war!
The other group doesn’t think so: Are all the more than 3,000 people terrorists? Liar!
As the new Somali government took office, the investigation continued and it was discovered that the Berry Army sergeants headed by General Ross not only killed more than 3,000 people, but also kidnapped thousands of people in the basement, including children and women.
The crowded underground environment caused a large number of tramples and deaths of these civilians, and the scene was horrific.
But these are only played on the Internet——
But the truth is not obscured by traditional media at all.
Two factions, two thoughts, and this situation not only occurs within the Berry Country, but also because of the strong appearance of Roxon Energy Group and the sudden rise of Atlas Group, it appears as two trends of thought in the world -
As the conflict intensifies, the 6 billion people in the world are gradually divided into two camps.
Many people are frightened:
Because both parties have considerable military power.
But "luckily", their base camp is all in Berry Country
Maybe they can resolve their conflicts peacefully through the upcoming presidential election?
And Lille knows someone who can be used as a chess piece for "President"
There is only one old man who is slightly at risk.
Secretary of State James Buchanan Barnes.
But there is more to Lille than a world of trouble.
[V: Are you alive? There's something new going on here at the Tiger Claw Gang, and Mox's chick is here. 】
