Detonation Accident and Battlefield Cleanup [Seeking Subscriptions]

Zong Shen was equally puzzled. He raised a hand and grabbed Iron's wrist.

Using [Falling Walk], he surveyed the surrounding space.

The next moment, gray light flashed, and he brought Iron directly to the clearing outside the [Mechanical Workshop].

The explosion had just occurred here. One pile of aircraft parts had been blown apart.

Flames and smoke rose into the air, while scorching currents of air carried over the wails of the mechanical engineering apprentices.

At least thirty mechanical engineering apprentices had been dismantling and sorting the wreckage and parts of the aircraft here, while separately organizing the weapon systems.

Three small mountain-like piles of aircraft wreckage had been stacked here.

One of them had exploded. Zong Shen saw at least four relatively intact corpses at the scene.

Several mechanical engineering apprentices with broken arms and legs still had a little health remaining. They lay in pools of blood, letting out faint groans of pain.

"What happened?!"

Iron Hand Barenk was also shocked by the sight.

It strode forward to one of the mechanical engineering apprentices sitting sprawled on the ground, grabbed him by the collar, and pressed him for answers.

"I-Iron Hand Master!"

"Sympathetic detonation... It must have been a sympathetic detonation!"

"That pile of wreckage suddenly exploded just now. The shockwave set off a magazine and a bomb rack."

"Sympathetic detonation..."

Iron Hand Barenk released him, and the expression on its face eased somewhat.

It turned and reported to Zong Shen.

"My lord, the bombs in the aircraft wreckage pile underwent a sympathetic detonation..."

"A large area just exploded..."
