——【Could it be a national defense cable? Just thinking about it is thrilling!】

——【Probably not. We'll see when we wait. If it is a national defense cable, the stationed troops nearby will arrive soon.】

——【Whatever cable it is, this is the unluckiest contestant I've ever seen. I thought he was the chosen one, but now he's straight-up dead.】

The cameraman leaned in to count the exact number of cables: "1, 2, 3... Brother, you just dug through five cables with one shovel. You're done for. How much will this cost to compensate?"

Fang Yang smiled awkwardly. Compensate? With what?

Watching the direction Master Zhang had left, who knew when he would return.

It was hard to imagine what his reaction would be when he returned and saw the scene in the mud pit.

After thinking for a while, he realized he couldn't just sit and wait.

He had no choice but to take out his phone and call the boss arranged by the production team earlier.

The call was answered quickly.

A rough voice came through.

"Hello? What's up?"

Fang Yang felt a bit embarrassed and said awkwardly, "Ahem! Boss... um... I think I did something bad!"

"What happened?"

"It's just... it's just... I dug through the cables!"

"Oh~~ I thought it was a big deal. Alright, I know. I'll call an electrician to fix it right away. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up!"

"Okay, okay!! Thank you, boss!"

Fang Yang didn't expect things to be so simple. Hearing the boss's indifferent tone, he relaxed.

The cameraman also felt relieved upon hearing this, guessing the production team must have given the boss plenty of benefits.

Not long after, Master Zhang walked over slowly, carrying two boxed meals.

From afar, he started greeting them: "Food's here! Let's eat and rest for a while!"

The cameraman lowered his head guiltily.

Fang Yang awkwardly scratched his head: "Um... Master Zhang, let's eat later. You come take a look first."

Master Zhang walked over in confusion and immediately saw the cables in the big pit.

The flesh under his eyelids twitched involuntarily!

He sighed and said, "Young man, you're a real talent!"

"I've only been gone for less than an hour, and you've already caused such a huge mess. Impressive!"

Fang Yang smiled apologetically: "Sorry, brother. I just called the boss, and he said he'd send someone to fix it."

——【The show's effect is maxed out. Are you sure this isn't a script arranged by the production team? Isn't this much better than those security guards and waiters?】

——【Back then, a senior brother who learned excavator operation with me dug through the traction steel cables of a high-voltage tower at a train station... He kept smiling stupidly while the police questioned him... until the police said the loss could be tens of millions, which completely scared that kid silly.】

——【It reminded me of an accident in my hometown when I was young. At that time, a truck lost control, and the driver chose the communication pole next to the department store over the building itself. The crash caused the entire town to lose power and internet, with economic losses in the hundreds of thousands. However, after deliberation, it was decided not to punish him.】

——【The streamer's skills were definitely learned at Lanxiang Technical School. He knows how to do it, but he's just a bit too costly for the boss!】

——【The master's mindset has collapsed, haha... I thought we met an old hand, but it turned out to be a troublemaker.】

At this moment, Fang Yang was as embarrassed as one could possibly be.

Fortunately, Master Zhang didn't say anything and handed over the boxed meal in his hand.

"This isn't your fault. No one at the construction site mentioned there were cables here before. Let's eat first!"

"Okay, thanks for the trouble!"

Fang Yang took the boxed meal and sat on a stone with the cameraman to eat.

Looking at the boxed meal in his hand, the cameraman couldn't help but give a bitter smile: "I don't know whether I should be happy or sad!"

(It's not easy for a new book; please, big shots, cast some data!)

3. Dug up a national defense optical cable. Now it's BBQ!

As soon as the meal was finished, the power company arranged personnel to come for emergency repairs.

Looking at the broken wires in the pit, the maintenance workers sighed repeatedly: "Why dig at noon instead of early or late? You dug through them right in the middle of the day. We didn't even have time to take a bite of food. What a sin!"

After speaking, he jumped down and started working.

Mainly because this cable was a high-voltage cable, and there was electricity flowing underneath.

With one shovel from Fang Yang, all the nearby residents would lose power.

At this moment, it happened to be lunchtime. Many families had rice half-cooked in their pots when the power went out, and they all called the power company to complain.

The power company urgently mobilized four nearby electricians to repair it together, striving to restore power as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, Fang Yang was lucky; he dug through the high-voltage line in the wild.

If it had been in the city, tens of thousands of households would have lost power.

That was only the secondary issue. With people coming and going in the city, if someone got electrocuted to death, that would be no joke.

Watching the fully armed electricians in the dirt pit, Fang Yang exclaimed how close it was.

Fortunately, there was insulation on the excavator; otherwise, with that one shovel, he might have been dead.

Master Zhang stood aside, watched for a while, and yawned: "Staying here is useless. Go dig over there in a bit, and I'll take a nap."

Fang Yang looked in the direction of his finger; it was also a vacant lot overgrown with weeds.

"Okay, I know!"

Without much hesitation, he drove the excavator over.

It was now past one in the afternoon, and people working at the construction site were gradually entering the site.

Master Zhang glanced over, turned, walked to the large stone under the tree shade, lay down, and fell asleep.

The spot where Fang Yang and the cameraman were digging was quite far from the repair site; logically, they should not hit any cables again.

But given the previous incident, Fang Yang was extremely cautious, his mind fully focused.

Who knew what else might suddenly emerge from below.

He had thought this would let him work steadily until the end of his shift.

Suddenly!

The cameraman let out a sharp cry, pointing ahead and shouting loudly.

"Brother, there's something down there!"

Fang Yang stopped working, looked closely, and immediately felt his head spin, his scalp tingle.

In the nearby pit lay rubber pipes as thick as water mains.

Most critically, two of them were already broken.

"Damn! Could we be this unlucky?"

Fang Yang quickly jumped out of the vehicle and walked over.

This time, he had been extremely careful, and there had been no disturbance at all.

Unlike before, there were no flames, no thick smoke.

The cameraman wore a bitter expression: "What do we do, Brother? The power repair technicians are still here; maybe we should go talk to them?"

Fang Yang nodded, just about to speak.

By chance, he noticed what looked like a small white pillar in the grass opposite.

Instantly, his mind felt foggy.

His heart skipped a beat!

He rushed over at top speed, tore aside the weeds, and checked whether it matched his suspicion.

The cameraman, puzzled by this move, followed out of curiosity.

"Brother, what are you doing? Hey... there's a pillar here, and it has writing on it... let me see... National Defense Optical Cable, strictly forbidden to damage..."

The moment he finished reading, his eyes widened, and he turned to look at Fang Yang.

His lips began to tremble, his voice shaking: "Brother... maybe... we should run... this show... we won't film it!"

The netizens in the live stream, seeing this scene, were all stunned!
