Chapter 7 BOOM!

That's right, what made Ye Zi's complexion suddenly change was the license plate number of this truck, exp180.

At first glance, the number 180 seems unremarkable. It is similar to the taboo number of Satan in Western culture, 666, or the number 13, which symbolizes doom and disaster (in the Last Supper, Judas, the traitor who betrayed the Son of God, was the 13th person to sit down).

), it is relatively unknown.

But anyone who knows the Death Comes series knows that in the world view of these movies, the number 180 can be said to be a notorious "spiritual number": the crashed flight number in Death Comes 1 is 180;

The two car accidents in 2 both happened at the 180th mile of the highway; at the end of Death 3, the protagonist and his party were wiped out by the subway number 081, and before the accident, the heroine Wendy saw the reflection of the subway number 081 180;

In the racing accident at the beginning of Death Comes 4, the numbers on the two pillars behind the bloodbathed auditorium are both 180; in Death Comes 5, the protagonist and his group are involved in the suspension bridge before it breaks. On the screen of the bus they were riding on

The word 180 was also displayed.

It is no exaggeration to say that when you see the omen "180" in Death Comes, it means that death is already following you like a shadow.

There are countless English words starting with exp, such as experience for experience value, expansion for expansion, or...explosion for explosion.

Although Ye Zi could not guess the meaning of exp at the first time, after seeing the conspicuous 180, a first-level alarm sounded in her mind. As she became more concentrated, her five senses also changed.

She had to become more and more sensitive, and finally...her small nose caught a subtle smell of rotten eggs.

It turned out that during the transportation process, a low-quality liquefied gas cylinder loaded on the truck was damaged and leaked due to its age and disrepair. The overflowing liquefied gas slowly filled the entire rear compartment. At this moment, when the vehicle drove near Ye Zi,

The concentration of liquefied gas has reached a very dangerous critical point. Just a small spark can cause a shocking explosion!

In household liquefied gas, odorous chemicals such as ethyl mercaptan or tetrahydrothiophene are usually added so that the leakage of odorless liquefied gas can be noticed by humans. However, because the sealing of the cargo compartment is quite good, only a small amount

The liquefied gas leaked into the outside air, and even Ye Zi only noticed the unusual smell after deliberately sensing it.

"Fake, this is a life-threatening rhythm." Ye Zi's thinking was so sharp. When he smelled this special smell, he immediately made an accurate guess about the goods loaded on the car, and a look on his face

After Hei cursed secretly, a look of confusion appeared in her eyes.

Perhaps it would be a bit of a fuss to be forced out of the genetic lock before the crisis came... But it was not only her instincts that kept screaming, reminding her that she could die at any time in the next second. She

The rational analysis came to the same conclusion: compared with the previous helicopters that fell from the sky, the danger level this time was definitely stronger! Let’s not mention whether Civilization Principle has prepared subsequent killing moves, this truck alone,

As long as it explodes, it will be enough to kill Ye Zi without a burial place.

Yes, as long as you see a simple calculation of a set of data, you will know that Ye Zi's judgment is not false: an ordinary household liquefied gas tank releases approximately 15 kilograms * 46100 kJ/kg of energy when it explodes, which is equal to 691500

Kilojoules. You may not have an idea just by hearing this number. So to put it another way, the energy released by one kilogram of TNT is 4200 kilojoules, which is equivalent to the energy of 165 kilograms of TNT... By the way, the dosage of the Type 86 grenade is

40 grams, which is 0.04 kilograms.

And the back compartment of this van was crazily filled with a hundred steel bottles.

(Damn it... this is only the 38th hour. It has not yet reached the 48th hour. The principles of civilization have begun to be unscrupulous. Do you want to kill me regardless of the massive casualties of ordinary people?)

Ye Zi glanced around, and the first two ideas that popped into her mind were to run as far away as possible, and to hide in a nearby building as a cover... But after thinking about it carefully, she knew

Both of these ideas are not very reliable: even if her speed is much higher than that of ordinary people, her legs will still not be able to run away from the explosion. And when the natural gas cylinder explodes, the other cylinders will not be detonated immediately, but will be like cannonballs.

It is usually shot out at high speed by air waves, and a secondary explosion occurs a moment later.

In such an extremely "unlucky" environment as the God of Death, Ye Zi has no doubt that if she finds a house to hide, a liquefied gas cylinder will penetrate the outer wall and land within a few seconds of her.

The place.

"Damn it, isn't there a way with a higher success rate? Wait..." Ye Zi had less than a breath of time left to think, and she was about to make up her mind to find a sturdier building nearby.

At the critical moment of hiding, she had a flash of inspiration and her eyes suddenly fell on a manhole cover not far away.

Generally speaking, the sewers in big cities in the United States are quite spacious. Most of them can accommodate an adult walking upright in them. A few are even as wide as tunnels, which is indeed a good place to hide. And explosions on the ground,

It is absolutely impossible to spread there. The only thing you need to worry about is the shock waves transmitted through the ground.

Having made up her mind, Ye Zi went straight to the manhole cover. After lifting the manhole cover and confirming the depth of the shaft, she did not use the iron ladder for maintenance personnel to go up and down. Instead, she jumped directly down and let her body fall freely.

It reached a distance of nearly ten meters and fell into a dark and damp pipe.

If an ordinary person jumped like this, his legs would probably be destroyed directly, but relying on the instinctive intuition brought by the first level of gene lock, Ye Zi was like a cat jumping from a high place, bending his knees accurately the moment before landing.

She used her strength to spread the force of the shock throughout her body as much as possible to bear it. Coupled with her extraordinary physical fitness, except for her feet being slightly numb for a moment, she didn't have any worries at all.

And almost at the same time as she jumped down the shaft, a certain steel cylinder in the exp180 truck had a slight friction with the metal wall. In normal times, this is actually an extremely ordinary and trivial thing.

But at this moment, even a small spark is enough to ignite this "moving barrel of dynamite"!

Amidst the thundering roar, some of the cylinders were directly detonated, turning the truck into a huge fireball. The driver didn't even have time to scream, and was burned to coke. I saw the astonishing explosion sweeping across

Throughout the street, the fragments of the cylinders were given extremely high speeds by the air waves, just like the shrapnel of a frag grenade, smashing anything exposed into a sieve.

Even though there was a thick layer of ground, Ye Zi could still feel the trembling in the air. One can imagine how terrifying the explosion on the surface was... If she had only slowed down her jump into the well by half a beat, she would have been fragrant at this moment.

Xiaoyu is dead.

But this purgatory-like scene was just the first wave of explosions... There were dozens of broken and burning cylinders that had not yet been detonated, but were thrown in all directions by the huge kinetic energy.

I saw one of the liquefied gas tanks wrapped in flames, being lifted up to the height of several floors. After drawing a beautiful arc, it hit the open well head with its head downwards accurately... This was no longer ordinary.

It's a small probability event. As long as the gas tank is half a meter off in the direction, or a little off in the angle, it will definitely fly out instead of falling into the well "just in time". If we want to make an analogy,

This is like shooting a gun into the sky with your eyes closed, and the probability of hitting a flying sparrow "just right".

Ye Zi had just taken a few steps, and with a muffled "dong" sound, the burning steel cylinder landed where she had been standing. The hissing sound of the hot flame tearing through the air seemed to come from "destiny"
