Currently, Cyprus has deployed a significant number of personnel and equipment from various departments to provide assistance. As a result, the scene is crowded with people, and the security forces are primarily focused on preventing media reporters from getting too close. This distraction allows Wu Shutong and his group to slip past their checkpoints unnoticed.


    Upon reaching the outskirts of the copper mine, Wu Shutong was utterly taken aback by the sight before him.


    He never anticipated that this vast copper mine, which had taken decades to develop, would now lie in ruins, with depths exceeding ten meters!


    At the site, numerous pieces of construction machinery were excavating at various locations.


    There were even several drilling machines actively boring into the ground, seeking to extract soil samples from hundreds of meters below the surface to examine for human DNA. This testing aimed to determine if anyone had been present when the bottom of the copper mine exploded.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Overwhelmed with fear, Wu Shutong paused for a moment before pulling out his mobile phone to capture images of the scene, intending to share them with his team.


    As he continued to observe, he noticed several marching tents set up nearby and decided to investigate the current operations of the Cypriot officials.


    Upon discovering that personnel were sending samples to one of the tents, he quietly moved closer to eavesdrop on the conversation inside.


    Through the tent’s tarp, he overheard someone saying, “Commander, we’ve pinpointed the site where the anti-aircraft warheads were located and have already uncovered over 30 warheads, including four that contain human DNA.”


    Wu Shutong was stunned!


    He couldn’t help but wonder, “Close-in artillery?! How could there be close-in defense guns at a site where soldiers lost their lives?!”


    At that moment, themander instructed, “We need the biological experts to analyze the human DNA on these four warheads immediately to see if it matches.”


    The reporter affirmed, “Understood, Commander, I will arrange it right away.”<fn6b33> Readplete version only at f?ndnovel</fn6b33>


    Then themander added, “One more thing.”


    The reporter responded respectfully, “Yes, Commander, what is it?”


    Themander continued, “Our top priority is to locate the shell casings from the close-in anti-aircraft guns!”


    Following this, he ordered, “Tell the excavation team on-site to watch for any near-anti-aircraft guns in the ruins. Additionally, have the second team search for shell casings within a two-kilometer radius of the copper mine!”


    The reporter quickly replied, “Yes, Commander, I’ll take care of it!”


    Just then, a voice crackled through the walkie-talkie, “Report No. 31, Report No. 31, we’ve discovered some shell casings from 30mm close-in anti-aircraft guns in the ruins. Please have weapons experts check whether these casings match the warheads we found earlier!” Upon hearing this, themander was filled with excitement.


    He eximed, “Get those shell casings to me immediately!”


    Minutester, a staff member rushed into the tent, holding several shell casings that had been crushed and deformed in the ruins.


    After reviewing the images, long-range weapon experts provided preliminary feedback confirming that these casings were indeed from Soviet-made 30mm close-in anti-aircraft shells, perfectly matching the caliber and model of the warheads. It was essentially confirmed that these casings came from the same batch as the warheads.


    With this information, themander eximed, “These close-in anti-aircraft guns were actually in the copper mine… This means the copper mine wasn’t the target of a terrorist attack… They secretly equipped the near-anti-aircraft guns!”
