But what does it all mean?


    Even though Ou Baijun’s speed was only marginally faster than that of an average person, he found himself with no opportunity to escape or fight back against the barrage of dense close-in artillery shells.


    A top-tier expert was eliminated in mere moments. If this firepower was unleashed on the two of them, they would likely have no time to react.


    At that instant, the motor of the nearby anti-aircraft gun came to a halt.


    This was because the system had determined that the target it had locked onto waspletely neutralized.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    The entire sequence unfolded in just about two seconds.


    Within these two fleeting seconds, the three close-in defense guns unleashed over 300 shells.


    However, less than one-tenth of those projectiles actually struck Oberjun.


    As Abbas watched in horror, he recognized that Charlie’s n to dismantle the operation was now in motion. He quickly grabbed the walkie-talkie andmanded, “Everyone, follow orders and retreat in an orderly manner as per the established n!”


    As Abbas issued hismand, the bases of the three proximity guns erupted with a series of explosions, and the guns, previously anchored to their concrete foundations, were instantly detached.


    Shortly after, the base of the ss house waspletely obliterated. The engineering team, which had been prepped for this moment, rushed forward, clearing away the ss roof and connecting the hoisting belts, ready for the helicopter to lift the debris.


    Simultaneously, Xiao Qiwei (Bertrand) and their family members, who had been prepared for a swift exit, burst out of their rooms like firefighters responding to an emergency call.


    They carried almost no belongings, as their personal items were minimal in this location.


    Moreover, the deceased and their families had been relocated to a ship days prior, meaning that as long as everyone on the ground evacuated sessfully, they could detonate the site, reducing it to ruins.


    In the open area where Ou Baijun’s remainsy, nearly a thousand individuals quickly gathered in the designated punishment zone, following the steps they had rehearsed numerous times.<fnc701> Fresh chapters posted on find?novel</fnc701>


    All vehicles specifically designated for ore transport in the copper mine were also activated, each parked in its pre-assigned space.


    Meanwhile, three helicopters thundered overhead.


    In ordance with Abbas’s instructions, they had been on standby on the cargo ship at the port, ready to spring into action as soon as the cannon fired, immediately revving their engines and racing over at full speed.


    By this time, trucks filled with people had already sped out of the copper mine, racing towards the port.


    Thanks to prior drills, the evacuation of hundreds of thousands was executed in a highly organized fashion.


    The helicopters swiftly hoisted the three close-in defense guns and made haste back to the port.


    Due to the remote nature of the copper mine, officials had yet to receive any updates.


    Only ten minutes had psed since Oberjun’s demise, and the entire scene had been cleared of personnel.


    The fourth helicopter ascended with Abbas and Qiu Zhiyuan, climbing several hundred meters into the sky. Abbas gazed down at the brightly lit yet deserted copper mine and pressed the remote detonator in his hand.


    In an instant, a series of massive explosions erupted from deep within the ground, the sound resonating far louder than that of the anti-aircraft guns!
