242: Chapter 242 Watching Fireworks

The gate above the tunnel closed.

They immediately started locking it from the outside.

However, this lock was very rudimentary, or perhaps, difficult to speak of in certain terms.

After all, the gate had no lock at all; they were worried that people outside might suddenly seal them in, so they hadn't installed any locks initially.

At this moment, they were all forcibly securing the thing using their own belts, clothes, or other items they had on hand.

When they stood up, they were all somewhat awkwardly clutching their pants, afraid they might slip down...

Meanwhile.

Looking at the tightly sealed exit, everyone let out a long sigh of relief.

Hoo...

This way, they should be able to hold out until they leave, right?

After confirming there were no issues, Chen Sheng and the others quickly walked over.

The man who had just contributed his belt quickly walked towards them, borrowed some items, and only then did his expression ease.

Chen Sheng turned his head to look at Lin Heng.

A smile appeared on his face.

He lightly patted Lin Heng's shoulder and said with a smile:

"Thank you for everything today. Dragon Country's reinforcement troops are already on the way. When we return to the Dragon Country Embassy, we will certainly thank you properly!"

"For what you did today, even granting you a First-Class Merit would not be an exaggeration!"

What!?

A First-Class Merit!

The others were still shaken by the recent events, but upon hearing this, their expressions quickly became unnatural.

Good heavens!

For the things Lin Heng just did, even if they awarded him a First-Class Merit, no one could really argue against it.

After all, Lin Heng had risked his own life and safety to rescue everyone present!

If it weren't for Lin Heng, everyone here would probably already be dead...

A First-Class Merit... Lin Heng deserved it!

However, very quickly...

The expression on Lin Heng's face became somewhat strange.

"What? You look down on a First-Class Merit? Do you know how difficult it is to obtain one?"

"Although there is only a single word difference between a First-Class Merit and a Second-Class Merit, the gap between them is worlds apart!"

"In our Dragon Country, very few people have ever obtained a First-Class Merit!"

Chen Sheng thought Lin Heng was dissatisfied, so he quickly emphasized the importance of the First-Class Merit.

The others all looked at Lin Heng with a unified expression.

What kind of person looks down even on a First-Class Merit?

Or perhaps he was just too happy, to the point where he couldn't even control his facial expression?

The crowd felt a slight doubt in their hearts.

Even the viewers in the live stream started to tease him.

"Good grief... Someone actually looks down on a First-Class Merit. If I had one, I'd probably wake up laughing from my dreams."

"Hahaha... I'd have someone embed my First-Class Merit right on my forehead, strut around every day, and go find the old ladies and gentlemen in the park to play chess!"

"Awesome! Wouldn't I become a celebrity at my school?"

"..."

However, at the scene.

After hearing Chen Sheng, Lin Heng quickly shook his head.

"None of that..."

"Then what is it?"

The crowd quickly pressed him.

At this moment, Lin Heng hesitated for a moment.

He subconsciously pursed his lips. He glanced at Chen Sheng in front of him and said hesitantly:

"May I say it?"

Pfft...

The crowd inwardly rolled their eyes.

Chen Sheng was speechless with exasperation.

He slapped his chest.

"Say it! We are all our own people here, bound by life-and-death camaraderie! What is there to be afraid to say?"

The others quickly nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, just say it! What's the big deal?"

"Exactly! If it weren't for you, we would have already been killed by those Black people. What can't be said?"

"Even if you sold us out, we'd accept it!"

Hearing this, Lin Heng finally relaxed.

He quickly nodded.

"Then I'll be direct. Did you bury a lot of explosives underneath your Dragon Country Embassy?"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Sheng and the others were stunned.

They had a vague, bad premonition.

What did Lin Heng mean by suddenly saying this?

Did he intend to detonate those bombs?

But that seemed impossible.

After all, for safety reasons, they had intentionally separated them when placing them, keeping a considerable distance between each batch, precisely to prevent a sudden chain explosion.

"Yes, some were buried, but why are you asking about this?"

Someone quickly asked in confusion.

But Chen Sheng and the others' complexions were not good, because they could vaguely sense a dangerous aura emanating from Lin Heng.

It wasn't that Lin Heng himself was dangerous, but rather that the words he spoke were dangerous!

Lin Heng soon laid his cards on the table:

"I connected them all together."

"Oh... I see..."

"Ah!?"

The crowd was stunned for a moment, and then immediately exploded!

Good heavens...

Lin Heng actually said he connected all the explosives together!?

How did he manage that!?

At this moment, while the crowd was still dazed, Lin Heng had already started to squat down.

In his hand, he was holding a fuse that had appeared out of nowhere.

The crowd noticed that the thing looked exactly the same as the fuses for the explosives they had buried underground earlier!

When Lin Heng was setting up traps in the rear to buy them time to escape, was it because of this matter!?

Hiss...!

The moment everyone realized this, they immediately sucked in a cold breath.

Good heavens...

Isn't Lin Heng a bit too exaggerated?

Did he do this while setting up the traps?

Gulp.

Chen Sheng subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

He asked nervously:

"You... you didn't connect all the explosives together, did you?"

"Yes, that way the destructive power will be sufficient," Lin Heng replied.

"After all, the space below is quite large. If those people manage to hide, it might not be possible to wipe them all out."

Hearing this, Lin Heng nodded in response.

Hiss...!

Good heavens...

So the traps were just a diversion, and connecting the explosives was the real plan from the start!?

Did Lin Heng think of this from the very beginning!?

The crowd was shocked.

At this moment, they suddenly realized that Lin Heng had already calmly lit the fuse while speaking.

Damn it!?

"Wait...!"

"What are you doing!?!"

The crowd was instantly terrified.

The viewers in the live stream were somewhat bewildered.

"What are they doing? Why is there nothing good to watch together?"

"Wait... why does it feel like the image is getting farther and farther away?"

"Ah! Why are Lin Heng and the others running too? Did the Black people rush over?"

"No, the camera crew is rapidly retreating! This speed...! Holy crap! Look quickly!!"

"Hey! You guys... look at the fireworks!"
