The fox has no bad intentions

Chapter 327 Fox-Style Hole Digging
An explosion occurred inside the Xiaotao Palace Ceramics Factory. Although the rangers and logistics personnel were not affected due to the unmanned operation, they were all quickly retreating.

The explosion area was only a few hundred square meters in the kiln area, but the collapsed area affected by it may reach more than a thousand square meters. The self-destructing mechanical dogs buried in the factory area are at risk of mortal explosion at any time. Ordinary people are not suitable to continue to enter the area to carry out missions.

However, there were exceptions. A man with fluffy golden hair on his cheeks and exceptionally well-developed pectoral muscles, and a woman with snake scales on her neck, ran against the current and rushed towards the core of the explosion area after seeing the explosion in the factory area.

They're incredibly fast; they should have no problem getting on the highway.

Meanwhile, Wang Qiqi and Jinqianbao, who were speeding excessively, had already arrived at the epicenter of the ceramics factory explosion. Completely ignoring the still-burning factory buildings, they stared at the collapsed ground with faces as black as ink and gloomy expressions.

"Enhance the electromagnetic shielding radiation surface and request electronic warfare coordination from the higher authorities."

Upon seeing the situation, Wang Qiqi did not hesitate for a moment before taking out her walkie-talkie and requesting technical support from military-grade electronic warfare experts in the logistics team.

Seeing the collapsed ground area and the shape and path it created, which resembled a tunnel, Wang Qiqi keenly realized a problem.

The entire area is electromagnetically shielded. Unless there is interference from an early warning aircraft or a reconnaissance ship, it is impossible to break through the security bureau's information blockade. The detonation signal must have come from a manual detonation inside the ceramics factory.

However, after the explosion at the ceramics factory, no enemy was seen taking advantage of the chaos to break out.

Then
The most likely explanation is that the gang hiding inside the ceramics factory failed to complete the excavation of the Spirit Particle Ruins. After they noticed the Security Bureau's surprise attack, they brazenly detonated explosives in the factory to buy time!

Wang Qiqi couldn't fathom why they were buying time—whether it was to cause devastating damage to the Lingli Ruins, or to buy time to transmit relevant historical records to the outside world.

The possibilities are irrelevant; we can just lock down the entire area.

The Lingli site is important.

But ensuring that the information and intelligence contained therein are not leaked is even more important.

"What's going on now?"

An Sheng arrived a little later, scanned the surrounding area after arriving at the epicenter of the explosion, and then asked Wang Qiqi a question.

"We have roughly located the enemy, but they are all hiding in the ruins of the collapsed passageway. We cannot excavate the collapsed area for the time being, but it's not a big problem."

“The entire area is under signal lock. Once we bring in heavy machinery, we can pull the thieves out,” Wang Qiqi said to Master Fuli.

In the field of electronic warfare, while Xia's technology may not be the best in the world, it is certainly second to none except for Bharata.

Early warning aircraft have already taken to the skies, and electronic interference and countermeasures have been deployed first. Soon, even reconnaissance satellites will begin to coordinate. The data won't escape, and neither will the enemy. Now we just wait until the large-scale engineering machinery arrives and catches those rats.

Once they're caught, they can be interrogated to see what they're up to in this ruin.

"wait?"

"Wait for what! Tell Wang Ya to bring the compass over, and I'll dig right there."

Upon hearing that large machinery was needed for excavation, An Sheng immediately showed a look of anger. He looked directly at Wang Qiqi, gave her an order, and then turned and ran into the factory area.

The enemy is inside, and the power of will is beckoning. An Sheng understands very well the principle that delay will lead to unforeseen changes. He probably won't be able to sleep tonight until the item is in his hands.

So what if it's hidden in a pit?
That's like saying every fox knows how to dig a hole!

"He seems more anxious than any of us." The snake woman approached Wang Qiqi and looked at Master Fuli, who appeared to be searching for something in the collapsed factory area, and said. "Master Fuli is as kind-hearted as ever." Although Wang Qiqi didn't know what Master Fuli was doing, whatever he was doing now, his ultimate goal was probably to slap the enemy in the face, right?
"Boom."

After searching through the ruins for a while, Master Fuli pulled out an I-beam and stood it upright in the ruins. The three lumberjacks looked puzzled, while Master Fuli stood there for a moment and then pulled out a few more I-beams.

When the five I-beams were brought together, Mr. Fuli twisted the steel bars like a braid, binding the I-beams together.

Then, he swung his giant hammer and smashed it down on one end of the I-beam, sending sparks flying everywhere and causing a visible deformation to occur at that end.

"You've arrived? Use your archaeological knowledge to show me the way."

As Wang Ya arrived, An Sheng hammered the bundled I-beams into a slightly deformed shape, making them resemble a twist drill.

"It's right there underground, at a 45-degree angle, about 200-300 meters ahead?" Wang Ya frowned and looked around. Three years had passed, and the terrain had changed somewhat due to the construction of the ceramics factory.

However, Wang Ya turned on the compass on her phone and it gave her location after a short while.

"Go away!"

Master Fuli looked at the spot Wang Ya was pointing to, lifted the bundled I-beams, and smashed them straight down to the ground, correcting the angle to 45 degrees.

Like a pile driver, Master Fuli swung his giant sledgehammer and drove the I-beam directly into the ground. Then, he alternately rotated the end of the I-beam with both hands to propel it forward.

During the process of binding the I-beams forward, a large amount of soil ran along the grooves of the I-beams to the ends of the I-beams.

In the blink of an eye, Master Fuli had already pushed the I-beams into the ground.

"Ancient, hand-operated tunnel boring machine?"

The lumberjacks and spirit beasts, who had been observing and unsure of what Master Fuli was planning, were stunned when they saw the purpose of the I-beams. The monkey king, who was partnered with the Qinling golden monkey, was even more dumbfounded.

"Good heavens! Good heavens! It's such a waste of talent for Master Fuli not to study engineering."

Wang Qiqi glared at him, muttered a complaint, and quickly called her companions over to help move the soil.

With Master Fuli's ancient tunnel boring machine leading the way, the mere few hundred meters seemed so short. Master Fuli painstakingly drilled the hole in the top of the ruins.

"Zizzi-"

"what?"

The two people standing in front of the main hall of the ruins suddenly heard a screeching sound. They were startled and subconsciously looked up at the rock layer above them.

A scorching hot, smoking metal rod, more than half a meter in diameter, pierced through the rock layer and appeared inside the ruins, spinning at high speed.

"???"

The two were dumbfounded. What was happening before their eyes was beyond their comprehension, just like when they first witnessed a beast-like warrior, their minds went blank.
