Chapter 461 Large-Scale Fountain
Clear water flowed down!
Orion, the head of the Arcturus Environmental Agency, still had that deadpan expression.
He reached up to touch his head.
What was this wet stuff?
He turned around in shock, looking behind him.
There, a massive water tank was leaking like a broken faucet, spraying him continuously!
What!
This was nuclear wastewater!
Oh my God!
He immediately covered his head and ran, moving quickly to the side of the stage!
But it was like he was cursed!
Just as he stopped, another small hole burst open in the massive water tank!
Once again, he was drenched!
"I've been exposed to radiation!"
"I'm going to die!"
Orion ran again, but wherever he went, the tank would break there!
A stream of water would hit him precisely on the head, every time!
The reporters were shocked; a wastewater leak was no small matter!
They quickly retreated to a safe distance!
But seeing Orion in such a sorry state, they couldn't help but feel a strange sense of satisfaction!
The other Arcturus officials were also in a panic, wanting to rescue Orion but too afraid for their own lives to get close!
The water tank burst open with several more small holes!
Nuclear wastewater sprayed out wildly, as if it had eyes, drenching every single Arcturus official present!
They froze instantly!
It was as if the nuclear wastewater had a paralyzing effect!
"I've been exposed to radiation too!"
A group of Arcturus officials ran around in a panic, crying out in despair!
They frantically tried to wipe the water off, but it was useless!
The reporters were stunned; they were not far from the officials but hadn't been touched by a single drop of water, remaining completely unharmed!
Was this divine retribution?
Fantastic!
In the pressure chamber, Elbert smiled slightly.
Such a large amount of wastewater, it would be a shame for just a few people to 'enjoy' it!
"Robert, hack into Arcturus's industrial water system."
Elbert said in a low voice.
Arcturus, true to its reputation, was compact and efficient!
With advanced technology, the entire island's freshwater system was highly sophisticated!
The national water supply system was fully automated!
And the Stellar Nuclear Facility's reactor cooling also required freshwater!
The water source was connected to the entire Arcturus industrial water supply system!
In the next moment.
Hundreds of industrial water pressure systems in Arcturus suddenly lost pressure!
And the thousands of water tanks at the Stellar Nuclear Facility suddenly experienced a massive pressure increase!
This directly caused wastewater backflow!
In the following time, 1.23 million tons of nuclear wastewater, at a massive flow rate, entered multiple industrial water pipelines within Arcturus!
Then.
Under the control of the water supply electronic system, this wastewater rapidly flowed into various urban areas!
Boom!
First, the fountains in various parks erupted like never before!
The people of Arcturus were amazed!
How spectacular!
Some even ran to play in the water with great interest!
The people of Arcturus found it novel, cool, and refreshing!
Various alarm systems in Arcturus blared!
Announcements echoed through the city: The water pressure system has malfunctioned, please stay indoors!
Due to the excessive water pressure.
Many fire hydrants and sewer water systems on the streets burst, creating fountains on the streets!
The people of Arcturus found this scene very novel!
They were all excited!
The national alert continued to echo: Please stay indoors!
The people of Arcturus were puzzled.
Why stay indoors?
This is fun, dancing in the water!
Many people took to the streets, enjoying the cool sensation!
This scene was immediately seen by Orion, the head of the Environmental Agency!
He was now soaked, his eyes filled with despair!
He immediately called his son, "Victor, what are you doing? Get inside now!"
"Father!"
"I'm proposing to Ursa in the rain, it's so romantic!"
On the other end of the line, a scruffy-looking man held a ring, kneeling before a girl.
Behind them was an erupting fountain!
The girl said, "Victor, you're not good enough, we can't be together."
Victor was stunned, "I can change!"
Orion, on the other end, was dumbfounded, "You idiot, get inside, that's nuclear wastewater!"
"Father!"
"I'm heartbroken right now, I don't care about nuclear wastewater, I want this cold rain to drench my soul!"
Orion couldn't take it anymore and fainted!
Facing the nuclear wastewater disaster across Arcturus, the officials were completely overwhelmed!
No matter how much power they used, they couldn't regain control of the drainage system!
They could only watch helplessly!
Behind the pressure chamber, Veridiania reporter Henry saw the water tank leaking, and the water was already spreading to his feet.
Serves them right!
They brought this on themselves!
He took a deep drag on his cigarette.
The two bodyguards across from him panicked, "Veridiania man, put out your cigarette, or don't blame us for getting rough!"
Reporter Henry sneered, "I just want to see if this wastewater can catch fire!"
With that, he was about to throw the cigarette butt!
At that moment, a huge pressure chamber beside him changed, and a pitch-black blade slowly cut out a human shape from inside the chamber!
Thud!
The 8-inch-thick lead wall fell!
A young man in white slowly walked out!
Everyone on the scene was stunned!
A man walking out of the pressure chamber, from the nuclear wastewater?
Am I dreaming?
Reporter Henry Phillips was in a daze, his cigarette butt slipping from his hand, falling to the ground!
The two bodyguards ignored Elbert and rushed forward!
In the next moment, the two bodyguards, who were A+ modified humans, were grabbed by Elbert, one in each hand, and thrown into the pressure chamber!
"Are you... human... or what?"
Reporter Henry kept retreating; he could stand up to Arcturus officials, but this man walking out of nuclear wastewater was too much!
The scene was so eerie it made his scalp tingle!
"Don't be afraid."
"I'm just like you, a Veridiania man who can't stand Arcturus's ways."
Elbert smiled slightly, "A journalist who dares to speak the truth and face evil deserves encouragement!"
"You... I..."
Reporter Henry was still in a daze, unable to process it!
Elbert thought for a moment, "Meeting is fate, I'll give you some material to report."
"Report?"
"Report you, the man who walked out of deadly nuclear wastewater?"
"I didn't even take a picture!"
Reporter Henry steadied himself, immediately thinking of news material!
Elbert smiled again, "Then get your phone ready."
Henry instinctively took out his phone, holding it up, "Should I take a picture of your handsome face?"
Elbert chuckled, walked a few steps away, and looked up at the sky!
Henry's camera followed, puzzled. Was he going to take a picture of a lonely back?
In the next moment, a silver light descended from the sky!
A UFO hovered silently!
Henry was petrified on the spot!
Elbert was about to board the Celestial Pioneer!
Reporter Henry's hands trembled violently. He shouted, "Who are you?"
"You can call me..."
"Never mind!"
"Just headline it: Even aliens condemn Arcturus's actions!"
In the next moment, the Celestial Pioneer disappeared into the sky!
For a long time, Reporter Henry put down his phone, his face completely blank!
He shook his head vigorously.
He still couldn't believe it!
He quickly checked the video on his phone!
The UFO was real!
The man in white was real!
But the voice and the face of the man in white had mysteriously disappeared!
It was as if someone had edited it out early on!
