N City.
A week had passed since the explosion incident, and even in the neighborhood where it occurred, few people were still paying attention to it.
With so many things happening every day and limited energy to spare, people only chatted about it during idle moments after meals. Residents in other parts of N City had already pushed the incident to the back of their minds.
In reports, it was said that the explosion was caused by a gas leak in an old building.
Accidents caused by gas or coal gas in old buildings were not uncommon. If there were no issues found during the last inspection, the gas line was either deliberately cut, or rodents had gnawed through it—it was hardly a new phenomenon.
It was only after this incident that the orders for pest control companies had significantly increased. Some marketing account claimed that the rodent control companies might be behind it all.
New rumors and debunking of those rumors started again.
