Chapter 256 There’s a Bomb in the Hall (Ch 256)

“Lan! Are you okay? Lan!” Yuanzi shouted at the ruins, at a loss.

The roadside was full of people frightened by the explosion. Those who had just walked out of the building were extremely grateful that they had walked out. If they had been a few steps slower, the consequences would have been disastrous.

Someone saw this scene and called the police.

No matter how Yuanzi shouted, no one answered.

“Oh, right, the phone! Call Xiaolan!” Sonoko finally came to her senses and quickly took out her cell phone and dialed Xiaolan’s number.

The entrance to the building was blocked by ruins. Yuanzi was on one side of the ruins, and on the other side, Xiaolan couldn’t see anything in the darkness. She could also hear crying and panicking voices next to her, from people trapped in the building like her.

Xiaolan got up from the ground. Although it was dark and she couldn’t see clearly, she could feel that she was not injured, at least not seriously. Just when she didn’t know what to do, the cell phone in her pocket rang.

She quickly took out her cell phone, found that it was Yuanzi calling, and quickly picked up the phone.

“Lan! Are you okay?” Xiaolan was still able to answer the phone, which made Sonoko very excited.

“Sonoko, I should be fine…what on earth happened?” Xiaolan’s brain is still in a state of shutdown.

“It was an explosion. I don’t know what happened, but it suddenly exploded. Hey, are you losing your memory?”

Xiaolan also remembered, “No, I’m just nervous… explosion, wait, is this the bomber?”

This afternoon, Conan was caught in an explosion and was injured. Xiaolan still remembers it clearly. Could it be that the bomber has planted a bomb in the Beika City Building? That’s right, it must be like this!

The biggest news today was the bomber, and Sonoko had naturally heard about it. “Are you talking about the guy who was going to blow up the train?”

“Yes, it must be him.” Although there was no evidence, Xiaolan judged based on her intuition that it must be that person.

When she left the hospital, Wangyue’s reminder to her echoed in her ears again – no one knew where the next explosion would happen, and it was very dangerous to walk around outside.

Unexpectedly, what Wangyue said was right. Xiaolan now feels very regretful. Why didn’t I listen to Wangyue at that time? Why did I get angry with him?

“No matter what, Xiaolan, please come out of the emergency passage first.” Yuanzi reminded: “I see some people have already run out of the emergency passage!”

“Yes, I understand.”

There were quite a few people trapped in the building, and they all used their mobile phones for lighting. Because their vision had been restored, they were not as frightened as before. Someone took the lead and led everyone to the emergency exit, and Xiaolan followed.

But soon their mood fell to the bottom, because from the lobby to the emergency passage, there was a corridor that had collapsed. People on other floors and other places on the first floor could escape through the emergency passage, but those in the lobby on the first floor were all trapped in a small area.

“Oh no, we are trapped inside.” Xiaolan was anxious holding the phone.

“Don’t worry, don’t worry.” Yuanzi comforted, “Someone has already called the police, you will be rescued soon.”

“Yeah.” Xiaolan also believed that she would be rescued soon.

Because the area they could go to was very small, everyone could only stay together in the hall. After all, this was the closest to the main entrance and the most convenient place for the police to launch rescue operations. Although there was no light, they felt a little more at ease with so many mobile phones providing illumination.

There were children crying, and the adults comforted them, saying that they would be able to get out soon.

“Huh? What is this? It glows.” Suddenly someone discovered a large square paper bag under a chair in the hall, and there seemed to be a small red dot lit up inside the bag.

Many people gathered around to check it out. A brave person untied the bag, revealing a strange device. The device was all black, with a countdown ticking on it. A word popped up in everyone’s mind at the same time.

“Bomb! Bomb!”

“Ahhh! It’s a bomb!”

The crowd dispersed and Xiaolan was the only one left in the hall. Because Xiaolan was talking to Sonoko on the phone, she didn’t notice what had just happened.

“Hello, Xiaolan, I seemed to hear a scream from your side just now, what happened?” Sonoko asked with concern.

Xiaolan took a few steps towards the chair in fear, and then saw the bomb in the bag, “Yuanzi… here… there is still an unexploded bomb here…” Xiaolan said this tremblingly.

“What?!” Yuanzi was shocked, “You, did you see it wrong?”

“I… I don’t know, but this thing looks like a bomb, and there’s a countdown on it…” Xiaolan glanced at the time on the bomb, and her heart became more and more frightened, “There are only 50 minutes left.”

Xiaolan was so scared that her voice was shaking. (To read the exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

If there were no bombs, she could wait for rescue here in peace, but there was a bomb about to explode, and there might not be enough time for rescuers. What should I do? What should I do? Am I going to die here?

Yuanzi also felt shortness of breath and didn’t know what to do. I had called the police, but they hadn’t arrived yet. What else could I do now?

“Ahhh!” The panicked crowd ran back to the hall. “It’s over, we’re done! There’s a bomb in the corridor too! And there’s only 30 minutes left before it explodes!”

Originally, everyone ran from the hall to the corridor to get away from the bombs, but they didn’t expect there were still bombs in the corridor, so they had to run back to the hall. At least the bomb in the hall had 50 minutes left, and the bomb in the corridor only had 40 minutes left.

“It’s over! We’re dead!” Everyone cried bitterly. This scene was like the end of the world and made people despair.

If there were no bombs elsewhere, Yuanzi could ask Xiaolan to stay away from the hall, but other places were more dangerous, so Xiaolan and the others had to stay in the hall and share a room with the bomb.

“It’s been so long, why haven’t the police come yet?” Yuanzi was very anxious.

Xiaolan looked at her phone, then froze for a moment and muttered, “May 40.2.”

“What’s wrong?”

“It’s May 4th already.” Before I knew it, the time had come to 00:05 on May 4th.

“Oh, yes, today is Shinichi’s birthday… By the way! Xiaolan, you should call Shinichi right away, maybe he will have some idea. I’ll hang up first, you should contact him as soon as possible.” Sonoko knew that Shinichi had the most tricks.

After Sonoko hung up the phone, Xiaolan hesitated for a moment, looked at the bomb next to her, and smiled miserably… Just treat it as the last birthday blessing, as an ordinary friend. Xiaolan called Shinichi.

However…the call was not connected.

Xiaolan was extremely disappointed. At this time, she thought of Wangyue, maybe Wangyue would have a solution. However, Xiaolan found Wangyue’s number but did not dare to call her because she had rejected Wangyue harshly before…
