Chapter 383

The onlookers saw him come out and shouted frantically: "Fang Yang is out!"

"Hurry up and take photos, we won't have a chance later."

"Still taking photos? Didn't you hear Fang Yang's analysis? It's going to collapse down there, hurry home!"

"Go home my foot. The ground is collapsing down there, it won't collapse here. It's rare to see Fang Yang; I'd be doing myself a disservice if I didn't take some photos as a souvenir."

Fang Yang looked at the enthusiastic fans and felt a headache coming on. If he really had to take a photo with every single one of them, he'd be exhausted to death.

Fortunately, Li Dui immediately led his men to protect Fang Yang and keep everyone from getting close, which saved him from a disaster.

Standing on the road, one could hear the alarm sounding from the salt mine in the distance.

Batches of salt mine workers were walking out from underground.

Meanwhile, in the city center of Yanjiang City, over a dozen police cars, ambulances, and fire trucks gathered together, forming a red and blue dragon of vehicles.

Such a situation was already nothing out of the ordinary in Xihai City.

But it was different in Yanjiang City.

They had never seen such a scene before, and many people recorded videos and posted them to local forums, discussion groups, and social media.

【Long line of police cars. jpg】

——【What happened? Did something big happen there!】

——【Damn, where was this filmed? So many police cars! I thought this kind of scene only happened in neighboring Xihai City.】

——【I haven't heard of anything happening anywhere? Are there any friends who know what's going on who can explain it?】

——【Explain my foot, Fang Yang is in our city, what do you think!】

——【Holy crap! Fang Yang is in Yanjiang City? How did I not know? What on earth is going on? Such a big commotion as soon as he arrives?】

——【Go watch his livestream yourself. I'm at the scene. It seems like they dug up a hole that connects to the lake and the underground salt mine. Listening to Fang Yang, our city's salt mine is going to collapse!】

——【Damn it, I was wondering why this scene looked familiar. So it's because Fang Yang is here! That's not surprising then.】

As more and more people learned about this, many risked danger to come and see for themselves if Fang Yang was as miraculous as the legends said.

Twenty minutes later.

Police Chief Cai of the police department personally led a large group of police officers to the scene.

"Old Li, what on earth happened? Explain it to me clearly."

Li Dui hurriedly explained Fang Yang's discovery and analysis in detail.

Five minutes later.

Even though Chief Cai had prepared himself mentally, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

This was like a person getting cancer; you know you're going to die, but there's nothing you can do about it, and you can only watch helplessly.

Right now, the top priority was to minimize losses and evacuate the surrounding crowd.

"Team One, immediately lead everyone to persuade the residents to leave this area."

"Team Two, take people to set up a cordon 1 kilometer away. No unauthorized personnel are allowed near here."

"Xiao Wang, go notify the traffic police brigade to come and help maintain order. All fire departments and medical personnel are to stand by on-site, ready for emergency rescue at any time."

"Old Li, as for you... you are fully responsible for Fang Yang's safety."

"The rest of you come with me to the salt mine; I want to see if the evacuation there is finished."

As Chief Cai's orders were issued one by one, the police officers at the scene immediately began to disperse the onlookers.

And he himself got into a car and headed to the salt mine.

Although he really wanted to chat with Fang Yang, he knew that he had to get all the work done now.

If a collapse happened in the next second, it would be too late to regret it.

But just at this moment.

The Cameraman asked confusedly: "Brother, did you hear any sound?"

Fang Yang's heart skipped a beat: "What sound?"

"Listen carefully, it sounds like a rumbling noise coming from underground."

Fang Yang's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, and he immediately lay down on the ground to listen carefully.

Sure enough, it was as if a beast was letting out a muffled roar underground.

Immediately after, the ground began to vibrate slightly, as if a terrifying giant beast was about to rush out from the ground.

Fang Yang knew that nine times out of ten, something had happened below!

"Everyone be careful, the salt mine has collapsed!"

【Popularity】+1+1+1+1...

——【It happened so fast? My god, it's a good thing it was discovered early today. If Fang Yang had come half an hour later, no, ten minutes later, I feel like something big would have happened here! Although I can't see it, I can imagine what terrifying things are happening underground.】

——【Look carefully, the ground is shaking a bit. A collapse at over 2,000 meters deep is making the ground shake; I reckon this definitely isn't just a small hole collapsing, it's highly likely a huge area has collapsed!】

——【Do you think that if the salt mine below is submerged and completely dissolved, the water here will be like the Dead Sea, where people can float in it? Years from now, scientists will find freshwater organisms 2,000 meters underground in saltwater and will definitely be curious as to why.】

——【These people are really bold. It's collapsed below and they're still taking photos. Even if Fang Yang is here, they should prioritize their lives first. I wonder if all the people in the salt mine escaped. If something happens to them inside, they're dead for sure!】

Li Dui and the others heard Fang Yang's shout, and their faces were filled with terror.

Facing such a natural disaster, even Fang Yang was afraid.

If the place he was standing on suddenly collapsed, he wouldn't even know how he died.

To avoid this, he decisively climbed to a flat, high spot.

Even if it collapsed, at least there would be a large building to support it, giving him a chance to escape.

And most importantly, this position had a great view, allowing him to see the large lake a few dozen meters away.

Just then, the Cameraman's camera suddenly captured something, and he shouted in a terrified tone: "Brother, look at the center of the lake, what is that?"

Fang Yang looked intently, and the scene before him made his scalp tingle, his pupils dilated, and his heart jumped into his throat.

He saw that in the center of the originally calm lake, a ring had faintly appeared.

232. Seawater backflow, freshwater lake turns into a saltwater lake.

Soon, the ring became clearer and clearer, and the center of the circle gradually began to sink, causing ripples on the originally calm water surface.

In less than a minute, a whirlpool with a diameter of about ten meters had formed.

The whirlpool wasn't spinning very fast at first, and the vortex inside wasn't very deep.

But after a rumbling sound, the whirlpool suddenly began to spin rapidly.

The ten-meter whirlpool continued to expand outward.

Eleven meters!

Fifteen meters!

Thirty meters!

Fifty meters!

Everyone who saw the whirlpool in the lake panicked.

The salt mine workers and Chief Cai and others who were closest began to move away from the area.

As for those spectators who had wanted to stay and watch the excitement, they now wished they could retreat even further.

In just a few minutes, it had expanded several times over!

The water in the lake was pouring in frantically as if it were free.

The scene was like a terrifying giant beast waking up under the lake, using its bloody mouth to suck everything in.

On the entire lake, let alone people, even birds didn't dare to get close to the whirlpool.

However, this was just the beginning.

Because of the lake water backflow, the originally sealed space in the bottom of the salt mine formed a pressure difference with the lake water.

More and more water was sucked in, dissolving even more salt.

Just like that, it cycled back and forth in a short period, forming a chain reaction.

Suddenly!

Fang Yang felt a violent shaking under his feet, and at the same time, a series of rumbling sounds came from underground.

Because the air in the salt mine under the lake was constantly compressed by the lake water, it finally reached a peak limit.

The salt mine finally exploded! ===== CHAPTER 384 =====
