64: Defense fiber optic cable! Primary trunk line! Barbie Q is here!

The black line was quite long.

Inside, it was divided into many smaller lines.

Su Yun pulled out this one.

It was strange.

He pulled it out very easily, effortlessly.

The soil under his feet was also very loose.

There were traces of it being dug up...

“Someone dug up the soil here.”

Su Yun muttered to himself.

He fiddled with the black line.

Even if he didn't know much about circuits.

But, looking at so many small lines inside the black line... densely packed, all sorts of configurations... fiber optics, glass fiber... there was no copper wire inside, no gold or silver materials or anything.

It didn't seem very valuable?

Not far away.

Just as Su Yun was considering whether to return the line to its original place.

Photographer Wang Fan, with small, quick steps, ran to where the palm-sized stone had fallen.

He picked it up.

He brushed off the scattered dirt and carefully examined the two striking red characters on it.

National Defense... National Defense!??

Buzz!

Instantly.

Wang Fan, upon seeing these two words.

It was as if he had been struck by a high-voltage current.

His mouth, wide enough to fit two fists, hung open.

His entire body stiffened in place!

National Defense!?

This is... that black line My Brother pulled out couldn't be a national defense fiber optic cable, could it?

No way? No way?

It couldn't be such a coincidence, could it?

My Brother said he wasn't going to cause any trouble today.

Wang Fan was unsure.

Trembling, he handed the stone to Su Yun.

“Brother...”

“Look, what words are written on this?”

“National Defense?”

Su Yun frowned deeply.

The characters on the white painted stone were not entirely complete.

But, he could generally make out those two words... He looked at the black line in his hand, which had already been broken.

There was no copper wire inside, no metal materials... He then looked at the white painted stone in his hand.

Above the incomplete “National Defense” characters, there was a five-pointed star... Hiss!

Instantly.

Su Yun only felt his scalp tingle.

This is... the black line exposed outside, exposed on the street, is a national defense fiber optic cable!?

Wasn't it just some unwanted, broken wire?

How did it suddenly transform into a “bankrupting” national defense fiber optic cable?

At this moment, in the livestream room.

Millions of fans and netizens were gorging themselves on the drama.

— — [Good heavens, picking up junk and you find a national defense fiber optic cable!]

— — [Do you know why national defense fiber optic cables need a sign?]

— — [That thing isn't to protect the cable, it's to protect you!]

— — [Our soldier brothers will arrive on the battlefield in ten minutes!]

— — [Streamer, you’re truly awesome! You dared to pull out a national defense fiber optic cable!?]

— — [I heard that thing costs 72 yuan per second, right? Taking off your underwear won't even be enough to compensate!]

— — [I’ve checked, the one the Streamer is holding is a primary trunk line, which means it’s more expensive! More serious! More likely to get you a sentence!]

— — [Here’s a little popular science for everyone: the materials for national defense fiber optic cables aren’t actually that expensive, what’s expensive is the military information, the military secrets!]

— — [From the moment you broke the national defense fiber optic cable, the satellite already locked onto you...]

— — [Hahaha! I’m dying of laughter! This wave from the Streamer is going to land him in jail for life, isn’t it?]

— — [No! We finally found a livestream more exciting than a TV drama, don’t go!]

...Su Yun and Wang Fan stared at each other.

They just wanted to pick up some unwanted wires.

How did it suddenly turn into a national defense fiber optic cable?

Shouldn't this thing be buried underground?

Why was it exposed outside!?

Are you trying to tempt me here or what?

Ten thousand grass-mud horses galloped through Su Yun's mind.

Wang Fan's chubby little face was utterly pale.

“Brother, what do you say we do now?”

“How about we run away?”

— — [Little Fatty, you are very naive!]

— — [Run away? If you can run for 24 hours, you’d be quite a person!]

— — [Honestly, hands behind your head, squat down and sing ‘Conquer’ (a song)!]

— — [I have a question, if I’m abducted to a mountainous area and intentionally dig up a national defense fiber optic cable, will I be rescued because of it?]

— — [Our soldier brothers are about to arrive on the battlefield!]

...At the same time.

The headquarters of “the strongest challenger” program group.

Heads of various departments and team leaders.

Were already sitting at their workstations, trembling... Contestant No. 54, still performing consistently today!?

First you found a corpse, then a cannon... I could understand if you found an armory!

But why did you have to find a national defense fiber optic cable!?

Is that something you can just pick up?

A group of people looked at each other.

They were incredibly confused: Didn't the Chief Director say he called Contestant No. 54 this morning?

Didn't he give him a welfare reward?

Was a 10% profit share not enough?

Ancestors, do you really have to ruin the show to be satisfied?

The monitoring team leader trembled.

He wanted to pack up his things and get up from his workstation...

He found that his legs wouldn't obey him.

“Damn it, I’m really useless...”

The logistics department leader cried with a long face.

“Brothers, is it still not too late for us to book tickets and run away now?”

The editing department leader typed frantically with both hands.

“I’ll make arrangements for my family...”

The Chief Director sat in his office.

He kept calling the chairman, investors, and producers.

None of them answered!

Just as he was feeling depressed, a knowledgeable assistant secretary pushed open the door and entered.

“Director.”

“Just got news...”

“The cable was broken at 11:30, and the chairman and investors drove off at 11:31...”

Chief Director: “...”

...Longhai City Police Bureau.

At this moment, the business hall was already bustling.

The Bureau Chief was not present, so the various brigade leaders were in charge.

Officer Hong's expression was serious.

He said solemnly: “We just received news.”

“The Longhai City Military Region, while conducting military exercises with troops stationed in another area, unexpectedly experienced a signal interruption!”

“According to the investigation, a primary trunk national defense fiber optic cable near Yongchang Street was intentionally dug up...”

“Currently, the Armed Forces Department has requested our support.”

“They hope we can find the culprit as soon as possible!”

national defense fiber optic cable, primary trunk line?

Good heavens, and it was intentionally dug up?

Which death-seeking fellow, tired of living, did this?

Truly insane... There wasn't much time to dwell on it.

Officer Hong immediately assigned tasks to the various brigades.

Then.

He said solemnly: “The national defense fiber optic cable is of great importance.”

“It involves our military’s military secrets, military exercise combat information, and so on...”

“Please, everyone, take this seriously!”

The Bureau Chief was not here, they couldn't disappoint the Bureau Chief.

SWAT Team, Criminal Investigation Brigade... every Police Officer who could be mobilized went downstairs to organize their equipment and get into vehicles.

Swish!

It was at this very moment.

At the main entrance of the Longhai City Police Bureau.

A taxi slowly pulled to a stop.

Little Fatty Wang Fan mechanically and dully scanned to pay.

The taxi driver chuckled.

Seeing the two of them with bulging pockets and nervous expressions.

Something not very friendly must have happened, right?

The taxi driver was enthusiastic and kind-hearted.

He patted his chest and said: “Young men, your faces don’t look quite right?”

“Did something happen?”

“Tell Uncle about it.”

“Uncle is quite well-connected in Longhai City.”

“Uncle will sort it out for you!”
