Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System

Chapter 981 - 378: You Can Join the Ninth Bureau Already—Who Needs a Big Truck?

Due to the need to evacuate people around the coastline beforehand.

At this time, there were still some patrol boats and such around the coastline.

And these boats weren’t very far from the semi-trailer thrown out by Zhang Beixing.

About three to five kilometers away.

If the semi-trailer exploded in mid-air.

Goodness gracious.

These boats would be affected to some extent.

Some metal fragments from the semi-trailer explosion could likely hit some unlucky individuals.

If it fell into the sea, it would be different.

The resistance from the seawater is considerable.

Even if those metal fragments appeared with the shockwave from the explosion, the seawater resistance would significantly weaken the shockwave.

By the time it reaches here, the impact will be much less.

But now, Zhang Beixing was really worried, the force from his kick was too great, kicking it too far, in case it didn’t fall into the sea.

Since he started practicing martial arts, Zhang Beixing rarely felt this tense.

Watching the semi-trailer fly through the air without exploding, Zhang Beixing’s heart gradually calmed down a bit.

Bang!

The semi-trailer hadn’t even hit the sea surface yet.

A loud explosion.

Zhang Beixing’s heart sank instantly.

Damn!

So close!

At that moment, Zhang Beixing really felt like cursing.

Really wanted to curse.

But just as he was about to pull Little Wang and run, he lowered his hand the next second.

Because he saw that the semi-trailer sank into the water.

Good!

It was likely because there were too many bombs, only a portion of them detonated on time, while the majority were delayed by about a second.

In the next moment, as all the bombs exploded, a towering giant wave rose everywhere within sight.

Zhang Beixing quickly grabbed Little Wang and hid behind a large rock.

The giant wave came swiftly.

Except for the area shielded by the rock.

Everywhere else was swept by the seawater.

Even though Zhang Beixing and Little Wang hid behind the rock, they weren’t completely spared from the seawater.

Little Wang was mostly drenched by the seawater, soaking wet.

Zhang Beixing fared better, thanks to a layer of energy around him protecting him, keeping him dry, not the slightest bit wet.

When the waves subsided, withdrawing with the changing tides, Zhang Beixing glanced outside.

Tsk tsk.

Some unfortunate, overly eager media drones were scattered everywhere.

The waves just now had risen over a hundred meters.

Some unprepared drones were directly swept into the sea, disappearing without a trace.

Those slightly luckier were swept onto the beach, becoming debris, which was somewhat fortunate.

After all, while the drones were damaged, retrieving them and fixing the memory cards might allow them to be used again.

Zhang Beixing didn’t care about those media memory cards; he was more concerned about whether the official vessels were unharmed.

After scanning around for a while, he saw at least one overturned boat.

But luckily, other nearby boats noticed quickly and rushed to rescue.

The ship was definitely damaged, but it could be repaired and used again, as long as the people on board were unharmed.

As long as no one was hurt, the damage to the ships was a minor issue.

This time, Zhang Beixing had seized a substantial amount of money from the DE Organization branch in Willpower Country — enough to build thousands more patrol boats like these; the vessels were a minor issue as long as the crew was safe.

However...

Zhang Beixing glanced at the shore.

Hmm...

"Little Wang, that truck head you worked so hard to save, it’s probably a soaked truck now, but luckily it wasn’t washed away."

Zhang Beixing looked at the semi-truck head stranded on the shore, lying on its side, and said with a bit of resignation.

There’s really no way about this.

The truck head lay on the beach, its windows and whatnot closed tightly, but alas, with such a large wave crashing over, no matter how well-sealed, it couldn’t avoid becoming a water-logged vehicle.

Just like that, its value was more than halved.

If it was worth millions before, now it’s down to two or three hundred thousand at best.

The performance of the entire vehicle was greatly reduced, even if repaired, Little Wang wouldn’t dare take it for long-haul drives.

Upon hearing this, Little Wang quickly went to take a look.

Seeing the once brand-new semi-truck head now lying quietly on the beach, its windshield and doors covered in sand, and some sea debris, looking filthy.

He let out a helpless sigh.

"It’s alright, Minister Zhang, I understand some things are beyond our control, what’s meant to be will be, what’s not can’t be forced."

"No worries, I’ll just go back and work well later. Though the truck isn’t as valuable as before, I can still get two to three hundred thousand from its salvage value."

"It can still help improve my life a bit, that’s enough."

"..."

Though his expression wasn’t great.

That calmness, and his ability to process emotions, won Zhang Beixing’s admiration.
