Eighty-Eight Flames Burning the City

As they were talking, a concrete tanker came in the darkness, and a large amount of concrete poured down with a roar, burying the wellhead tightly. Zhou Yun and Ye Han looked at each other, and both of them felt relieved at the same time.

The mission continued, and wellheads that were either blown up or intact were found one by one, and then sealed by the military one by one. Even if the giant ants were good at digging holes, they would never be able to dig through the solid concrete.

However, everyone knew that the giant ants only needed to spend a little time to dig out a new passage, and it was only a matter of time before they attacked the city again.

The situation was still serious, and it was far from time to relax!

The mission went so smoothly that Ye Han began to be suspicious. When the convoy passed an intersection, the military suddenly reported that a wellhead was found in the middle of the street.

Ye Han immediately checked the tablet computer, but did not find any mark of the manhole at this intersection. He could not help but wonder: "Old Zhou, when was this map drawn? Is it accurate?"

"I don't know!" Zhou Yun said innocently, "Let's go and take a look!"

The armored vehicle drove to the vicinity of the manhole. Ye Han used the light of the car lights to look around and saw an intact manhole cover in the middle of the street.

"Is it sealed?" Ye Han asked.

"Let's go and take a look." Zhou Yun opened the door and got out of the car. Before he reached the well, another convoy arrived nearby.

Several soldiers jumped out of the car. The leading officer saw Zhou Yun and Ye Han and saluted politely: "Hello, this well is our mission."

Ye Han suddenly realized: "So that's why it's not on our drawings!"

Zhou Yun was relieved and smiled: "That's good. We just saw a well that was not on the drawings. We were worried and came to take a look."

The captain also smiled: "I understand!" After saying that, he waved his hand, and several soldiers immediately rushed to the well and quickly lifted the manhole cover.

A soldier whispered, "Captain, no problem!"

The captain nodded, "Let's go!"

The soldiers boarded the car and the convoy left quickly.

Ye Han was confused by this scene and asked inexplicably, "Why are they leaving now? They don't seal the well?"

Zhou Yun also felt strange. He walked to the well and was speechless. He walked back and shook his head, "No need, this is a communication well."

Ye Han then remembered that there was such a thing as a communication well, and couldn't help laughing and crying for a while.

The bureau gave Zhou Yun the sewer pipeline design drawing. The team just now must have taken the communication design drawing, but I don't know which communication citizen it belonged to.

According to this routine, the underground engineering design drawings of water supply, gas and other departments must also have special teams to check one by one!

Ye Han's guess was not wrong at all. Not long after, the convoy met another team.

How could he know that with the order of the municipal government, the municipal, water supply, environmental protection, communication and other industry departments involved in underground engineering have all taken action, and Jingjiang City's underground pipeline construction drawings over the years have been found without any difference.

A few hours later, the team sealed all the sewers marked on the map, even those that were blown up during the day. When the convoy met with another team near the city wall, the deep underground below the team happened to be the sewage main leading to the sewage treatment plant!

The command center analyzed that although the giant ants are good at digging holes, the giant ants appeared in the suburbs for too short a time, and it was not realistic to dig from outside the city into the city within 48 hours. Therefore, the biggest possibility is that the giant ants accidentally dug through the sewage pipeline of Jingjiang City.

The fact that most giant ants came out of the sewage wells during the day is the best proof.

For this reason, the municipal government decided to blow up the sewage main pipeline, block the passage for the giant ants to enter the city, and buy time for the citizens to evacuate.

The two convoys joined forces and found a sewer that led directly to the main pipeline. They carefully sent a large number of explosives into the well and prepared to blow up the main pipeline.

Strangely,

the military did not blow up the main pipeline immediately, but reported the situation to the joint command center and waited patiently under the order of the joint command center.

In the following hour, the command center received reports from several other teams. When all the drainage pipes leading to the outside of the city were ready for blasting, the joint command center gave an order, and hundreds of tankers appeared on the streets of the city, pouring a large amount of gasoline into the drainage system through the reserved wellheads.

Later, the ignition order from the joint command center spread throughout the city through radio waves.

More than a hundred soldiers simultaneously fired incendiary bombs into the wellheads, and more than a hundred sewer wells were ignited one after another. The high-concentration oil and gas in the wells exploded, and the fire column in the wells was as high as tens of meters, illuminating half of the sky.

The team that had already prepared for the blasting also received the detonation order. At the order, a large amount of explosives buried underground exploded instantly, and the ground collapsed instantly. The prepared concrete tankers rushed up and poured a large amount of concrete into the explosion pit, completely blocking the drainage pipes.

Even if humans can drive the giant ants out of Jingjiang one day in the future and recapture this city that has experienced many disasters, it will take a huge amount of money and manpower to dredge the drainage system. It would be simpler to lay new pipelines again.

The gasoline in the well burned fiercely, and the scorching flames advanced along the drainage pipelines, and soon turned the underground drainage pipelines into a deadly place with blazing flames.

The giant ants remaining in the well suffered a devastating blow. Even if they were not burned to death by the raging fire, they suffocated because of the large amount of oxygen consumed by the burning.

At the same time, rats and cockroaches living in the drainage system also suffered a great misfortune. The high temperature forced a large number of rats to the ground. For a time, rats roamed the city at night, causing a disaster.

However, no one cared about rats on the streets at the moment, and they were allowed to run around.

Many people's kitchens and bathrooms first smelled gasoline, and then changed to a strong burnt smell.

Most citizens learned about the burning plan in advance through radio and text messages, and did not panic. Instead, they immediately poured tap water prepared in advance into the sewer to prevent the flames from spreading indoors.

Indoor drainage pipes are generally PVC pipes with a diameter of no more than ten centimeters, and the pipelines from indoors to sewage wells are basically made of this material.

Even in areas where the water flow failed to suppress the flames, the underground PVC sewer pipes were quickly melted and destroyed in the high temperature, and the collapsed mud and sand immediately blocked the drainage pipes, preventing the fire from spreading to residential buildings. Only a few buildings caught fire.

The well-prepared fire department took action immediately and put out the fire as quickly as possible.

Although well prepared, the burning operation still inevitably caused casualties. However, if the giant ants trapped in the drainage pipes are not eliminated, even if all the sewage wells are closed, the giant ants can dig a path from underground to the surface!
