Chapter 134: Suspension cable (1/2)
Chapter 134 - Suspension cable
[TL: I delayed releasing the next few chapters because the situation on the bridge was confusing as hell. I wanted to make sure it was as accurate as possible to what the author would've wanted it portrayed. One chapter tonight only! My birthday celebration awaits! Bye all!]
“You only have to show me where these locations are, otherwise even if you told me I won’t know which one is which.” Liu Gan interrupted Zhou MingLiang. Once Zhou MingLiang started talking, he really didn’t know how to stop.
“Ah, okay.” Zhou MingLiang revealed a slight with an embarrassed smile and didn't continue to show off his knowledge.
As the two continued to walk, Liu Gan under the guidance of Zhou MingLiang opened all metal plated bridge panels. If there were any unexpected accidents, escaping through any of these bridge panels was possible so they needed to open these covers up before they attempted to blow up the bridge.
“The space in base of this bridge is very narrow, so it's the perfect location for maximizing the effects of a grenade. It should be enough to snap the cable wire holding the bridge. Once the cable wires snap, this half of the bridge will collapse.
“The order that you should blow up the bridge should be like this. Start from there here, then here, after that there, don't forget that location over there… as long as you follow this order, you will have enough time to escape to a safe area. Once this half of the bridge collapses, the corpse tide won't be able to chase after us. Then we can stay on this side of the river and find a safe zone to survive.” Zhou MingLiang said to Liu Gan.
“Okay, let's get started. Time doesn't wait for anyone.” Liu Gan nodded.
”You wait, let me go back up before you start.” Zhou MingLiang said as he was ready to slip back up to the bridge surface.
”No, you and I stay are staying together, incase if I encounter with a technical difficulty that I need help with especially if I blow up the wrong place.” Liu Gan reached out to hold onto Zhou Mingliang.
[TL: LOL you aren't going anywhere bro.]
“I need to go back up to communicate with the others above, so they can rush towards the other half of the bridge. Otherwise, they wouldn't know the situation when we blow up the bridge and they might sink with this side of the bridge.” Zhou MingLiang was trying to find an excuse to escape.
“Oh you don't have to worry about that.” Liu Gan took out his earpiece and told Yin He what the plan was. He told her to rush towards the safe side of the bridge as fast as possible and wait for him there.
Zhou MingLiang was helplessly tagged along with Liu Gan at the maintenance layer. Liu Gan stood on standby until he heard from Yin He that they were nearly done killing off all the wandering zombies on the bridge, then Liu Gan started his plan of blowing up the bridge.
After choosing a safe spot, Liu Gan placed the a grenade at the first location, after he pulled the ring out and ran back to the cover spot. Just as he crouched behind the cover spot, there was a muffled explosion noise and a shock wave shortly followed it.
The whole bridge shook, but there weren’t any sound of cable wires snapping.
”Doesn’t sound like it snapped off?” Liu Gan asked to Zhou Mingliang.
“No need for it snap, it only needs to shift from it’s position. As long as you follow the sequence and explode these point accordingly, then the whole thing will fall from its’ own weight. At that point, the connecting point between the bridge and the cable won’t be able to hold the weight and break. Trust me. My major was Material Mechanics. I helped to design this bridge, so listening to me won’t be the wrong choice.” Zhou MingLiang vowed to Liu Gan.
