Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Who the Hell Installs Nuclear Warheads Under Their Own Home?
“Crack.”
A faint sound drew everyone’s attention.
Mao Mao innocently lifted its paw and hopped down from the damaged base of the Divine Statue.
Then it trotted all the way back to Lu Wenwu’s side, lying down beside Su Qinghong, pretending to be dead.
With that light leap from Mao Mao, the base cracked more severely, with large fragments falling off, emitting dense cracking sounds.
The “stone” coat peeled away, revealing a square metallic creation underneath.
Strips of light blue energy beams circulated on its surface like water waves, continually emitting a faint energy fluctuation.
No need to look at its functions; just the seamless outer shell alone is something that could be produced by the Wastelanders after nuclear warfare.
A thick special cable connected to the bottom of this creation, presumably its power supply line.
“This stone shell is peculiar, it can actually block the penetration of spiritual power?” Anthony remarked in surprise, “I clearly scanned the priest room three times just now!”
“Incredible, Wastelanders actually have the ability to continuously supply power to it.”
Kashan, rarely taking the initiative to speak, was the first to step forward.
She crouched down, her eyes turning into an eerie black, placing her right hand shrouded with a layer of magical glow on the metal block, quietly sensing something.
“This should be part of the core of some large electromagnetic confinement device; the secondary structure has been damaged due to overload and years of neglect, but the main structure is largely intact.”
“Originally, it should have been able to store a certain amount of information inside, unfortunately, the storage area was rendered unusable due to the aftermath of battle, and the primary artificial intelligence installed inside has also been completely destroyed.”
“With ultra-high-intensity high-voltage electricity as energy… this level of energy consumption… there are still large-scale power generation installations running on the wasteland? This is definitely not something that small generators or ordinary wind turbines can drive…”
This social-anxiety-ridden Little Enchanting Demon may have inherited skills even more inferior than Big Fox Lady, but she unexpectedly possesses significant expertise in the field of technology.
Moreover, when Kashan speaks of these matters, her confident demeanor is strikingly similar to that of a renowned expert in a certain field giving a lecture.
So charismatic!
No one could tell that she is essentially a social anxiety-prone individual.
The four immediately regarded her with newfound respect.
“So, does this mean we can crash through the electrical lines and find the power generation installation running behind it?”
Lu Wenwu rubbed his chin, proposing a simple and crude idea.
“If this device is being maintained by someone, we can catch them and beat them up, ask if they know any information about those two Divine Spirits.”
Anthony’s mouth twitched slightly, he sweated and retorted: “Can’t you communicate peacefully with others? Why are you thinking of physical persuasion before even asking them?”
Not far away, Kashan nodded: “In theory, it’s feasible, but the premise is that the Wastelanders haven’t mastered wireless energy transmission technology before the outbreak of nuclear warfare; if they have control over this, then we have no trace to follow.”
“Under normal circumstances, I have some equipment that can trace back to some extent, but the radiation and unknown contamination on the wasteland are too dense, causing severe interference and can inflict irreversible damage on the equipment.”
“Under the current circumstances…”
Before she could finish her words, the originally glowing blue metal cube suddenly went dark.
Kashan felt somewhat surprised, then leaned down to unlock the slightly rusted connection lock at the junction, forcefully pulling out the thick power supply line.
“It’s out of power, not sure if it’s due to damage to the power supply pipeline or if the power generation terminal has stopped transmitting energy.”
Old Monk Ruhuo sighed: “Amitabha, it seems we are not destined to uncover this secret.”
“Danger, quickly leave here!”
At this moment, Su Qinghong, who had been playing dead, suddenly twitched her fox ears and sprang up from the ground, staggering and almost falling.
Danger?
Although unaware of what she discovered, out of trust in their teammates, everyone reacted swiftly.
Lu Wenwu immediately recalled Mao Mao to Spirit Heaven Mountain.
His right arm wrapped around the unsteady Su Qinghong.
His left hand surged with Qi Force, pulling the petite black-skinned Enchanting Demon close and tucked under his arm. Unfolding the Azure Sky Wings, he crashed straight through the roof.
Anthony’s reaction wasn’t slow either.
He reached out and hoisted the Fighting Spirit-unrestored Old Monk onto his shoulders, flapping the bat wings behind him, closely following through the hole Lu Wenwu busted open.
“Quick, quick, fly past the city!” Su Qinghong urged anxiously.
“Flying past the city? Isn’t that exhausting?” Lu Wenwu quipped.
“You, still have time to joke! Hurry up and get moving!”
The frantic Big Fox Lady attempted to pinch him.
But this well-honed body was too sturdy, she couldn’t pinch it.
Lu Wenwu laughed heartily, propelling the Azure Sky Wings to the maximum, shooting out at hundreds of meters per second vast distances in an instant.
About seven or eight seconds after they had fled, a earth-shattering explosion reverberated from the Ghost Shadow Gathering Place.
A mighty blaze surged instantly, and the terrifying shockwave almost knocked the frantically flying Lu Wenwu off balance.
Anthony hastily cast Blood Magic to set up a shield, enveloping the group as they rushed out several more kilometers, the somewhat unsteady group of five finally stabilized.
“Damn it, someone out there is trying to kill me!”
Seeing all seventeen gathering places swallowed by the powerful explosions, miniature mushroom clouds rose directly on the edge of the city ruins, and Lu Wenwu couldn’t help but curse.
“Who in their right mind installs freaking tactical nuclear bombs under their own gathering place? Whoever sets up self-destruct devices in their own home is definitely not mentally sound!”
“So… what exactly is going on here… could it be some contingency left by the Ghost Shadow base?”
While casting the Blood Barrier and borrowing Master Ruhuo’s Lotus Platform to aid their flight, Anthony murmured in fright.
If Su Qinghong hadn’t discovered it a few seconds later, if their flight speed had been slightly slower, the five of them would have all become roasted humans!
Even the special Physique of a peak Blood Count would be unable to withstand a nuclear explosion; the intense heat and force would obliterate him in a very short span of time.
Yet, the explosion of the tactical nuclear bomb wasn’t the end.
Following that wave, countless brilliant meteors appeared in the sky!
These meteors split into hundreds of sub-bodies during descent, with thousands of them once again kindling the explosions at the Ghost Shadow Gathering Place vigorously!
Lu Wenwu exercised his Eye Power to take a closer look, were these meteors falling?
This was clearly one missile after another!
At this moment, he profoundly understood the essence of “A thousand trees blossom with lights in the night of the east wind, stars fall like rain.”
If only that beam of light piercing through the heavens from the flank wasn’t aimed in their direction, that would be even better.
