Chapter 367: Interception

In the northeastern state, Bae Min went directly there after returning from South Korea, and he wanted to intercept the nuclear bomb on the border of Jiuyou. The Guardian of the Northeast State is only an A-class transcendent, and the air defense facilities are relatively weak.

Zhu Zhiyu has long been there, and Northeast Prefecture is his hometown. He pulled out the fire gourd and laid a wall of fire in the air. As soon as the radar of the military base on the ground detected the nuclear bomb, it immediately contacted Zhu Zhiyu.

After Zhu Zhiyu received the trajectory of the nuclear bomb, he immediately laid a defensive net to intercept the nuclear bomb in the air. This defensive net is the flame spewed out by the fire gourd.

However, the speed of the nuclear bomb is too fast, and Zhu Zhiyu needs to lay a very thick wall of fire to intercept the nuclear bomb.

The first nuclear bomb to enter Tohoku Prefecture passed directly through the wall of fire laid by Zhu Zhiyu, and the air defense bomb on the ground failed to intercept the nuclear bomb because its height was too high.

The target of this nuclear bomb is not in the northeastern state, but in the northern state. The calculation accuracy of the air defense bombs on the ground is insufficient, and the size of the nuclear bombs is too small, and when the air defense missiles fly to a high altitude, the air defense bombs and the nuclear bombs will be more than one kilometer wrong because of the extremely small calculation errors.

The nuclear bombs launched by the United States basically have to enter from the three states of Northeast, Dong, and Southeast. Dongzhou has the strongest military air defense force, the largest number of fighters in the sky, the most advanced ground air defense equipment, and a whole aircraft carrier formation at sea. As a result, most of the top transcendents of the Sword of the Nine Shadows were stationed in the Northeast and Southeast States.

After Zhu Zhiyu missed the first nuclear bomb, he immediately concentrated on the second nuclear bomb.

This time, he seemed to be much more experienced, and after getting the flight path of the nuclear bomb, he used his full fire gourd to burn all the clouds in the night sky.

It took a full second for the second nuclear bomb to pass through the wall of fire, and by the time it passed through the wall it was a fiery red warhead, which then detonated on its own.

A ball of light exploded again in the night sky, and the nuclear bomb's protective mechanism allowed it to explode in the heat. Every nuclear bomb launched by the United States is set to lock on for safety reasons, and when these nuclear bombs fly across the Pacific Ocean, they are unlocked. Once a nuclear bomb is attacked, it will self-detonate, and unless it is intercepted by a laser weapon and completely destroyed*, it has a high chance of self-destructing.

Because Zhu Zhiyu wanted to accurately override the position of the fire wall, when the nuclear bomb exploded, he was only ten kilometers away from the explosion point, which was already his limit.

The radiation almost melted his body, but fortunately he was a fire-type supernatural, with some resistance to high temperatures, and the violent shockwave pushed him far away.

After Zhu Zhiyu stabilized his body, he opened his eyes weakly, the ribs on his chest were completely exposed to the air, and his skin was fiery red, densely covered with disgusting blisters.

Zhu Zhiyu was still holding the fire gourd tightly in his hand, and he lifted the fire gourd with great difficulty, and drank a sip of the spiritual liquid in the gourd as if he was drinking. Subsequently, his necrotic skin began to peel off, and the new muscle tissue began to grow and heal at a rate visible to the naked eye.

But at this moment, he saw a nuclear bomb falling from a high altitude, and it was too late to catch up. The nuclear bomb passed through multiple air defenses* and eventually detonated over a city behind him. The location of the explosion was only three kilometers above the ground, and the maximum power of the nuclear bomb was brought into play.

A bright light flashed, and a mushroom cloud rose......

"No !!"

Zhu Zhiyu was full of grief, and a sense of powerlessness rose in his heart. However, before he could get angry, the communication device in his ear gave another command.

The strength of a country can be reflected in its ability to respond to a nuclear attack. Jiuyou developed anti-jamming communication equipment very early and equipped it with these transcendentals. As long as it is in the Nine Shadows Territory, even in the event of a nuclear attack, the extraordinary communication equipment can still work. Because their communication equipment also has a light sensing mode.

Ships at sea can use searchlights to send signals, and these extraordinarily equipped communications devices are even more convenient when switched to light-sensing mode. The principle is simple, a military base on the ground projects a pattern into the sky, which is an encrypted pattern, similar to a QR code. The transcendent communication device captures this encrypted pattern and decodes it itself, converts it into audio, and transmits it to the transcendent ear.

Of course, for the sake of secrecy, this encrypted pattern is not projected by visible light, but by infrared or ultraviolet light.

Zhu Zhiyu gasped fiercely and continued to fly towards the next target. However, for every nuclear bomb he successfully intercepted, three nuclear bombs passed through the northeastern states.

Zhu Zhiyu was guarding an area in the north of Northeast Prefecture, and Pei Min was guarding the area in the south of Northeast Prefecture when he arrived.

Pei Min hadn't exerted all his strength for a long time, and at this moment, he closed his eyes and sensed all the metallic substances in this airspace with his heart. He has become a radar with a detection diameter of more than 300 kilometers, and once a nuclear bomb in this range is discovered by Pei Min, it will be immediately squeezed by an external force, either detonated or crushed into a discus.

Zhu Zhiyu and Pei Min, two S-class transcendents, guard the front line of Northeast State, but the diameter of Northeast State is also about 1,500 kilometers, and there will still be a large number of nuclear bombs passing through their defense line.

The air defense forces in the military bases on the ground in the northeastern state are the second line of defense, but the hit rate of these anti-aircraft missiles will not exceed 30 percent.

At this time, it is necessary to rely on the third line of defense. Almost all the transcendents above level A of the Nine Shadows Sword and Shield were dispatched, and they always kept an eye on the anti-aircraft bombs launched in the base, and once the anti-aircraft bombs did not hit the nuclear bombs, the transcendents would intercept the nuclear bombs with their lives.

Anti-aircraft bombs have become beacons, and transcendents will follow their trajectory to find nuclear bombs. However, these extraordinary safe distances are only thirty kilometers, and they have a chance of survival thirty kilometers away from the point of the nuclear bomb explosion. And most of the top transcendents are difficult to intercept the nuclear bomb from a distance of 30 kilometers, most of them attack the nuclear bomb with their own strength when they are close enough to the nuclear bomb, and even so, they only have one chance to attack, and if they miss it, they will not be able to catch up with the nuclear bomb.

Those who have artifacts are fine, either for throwing or for body protection, and the chances of surviving a nuclear explosion are much greater. And after the extraordinary close range without an artifact successfully detonates the nuclear bomb, it will be vaporized in an instant, and there will not be even a scum left.

Under the three lines of defense, the northeastern state is able to intercept more than 60 percent of nuclear bombs. Dongzhou is also able to intercept more than half of its nuclear bombs with advanced weapons. However, because the southeast state does not have the same transcendence as Pei Min and does not have the most advanced military weapons, the number of nuclear bombs intercepted by it does not exceed 40 percent.

Those nuclear bombs that pass through the three eastern states will attack the other six states, and the air defense of these six states will be much weaker.

***

In Anyuan City, the capital of Beizhou Prefecture, Shangguan Hong and Shangguan Qingyun walked against the wind, and the two came to the sky above the city to stare at the eastern night sky, nervously speechless.

The two were followed by several A-class transcendents. These transcendents were already trembling, the greatest fear they had ever experienced in their lives, and they had never thought that they would face a nuclear bomb on their own.

However, no matter how much fear they had in their hearts, they did not think of retreating, because under them were their homes, their relatives, and thousands of ordinary people.

Yasuhara is the energy and mineral center of Jiuyou, and it must also be a major target for the United States.

Suddenly, a ray of light rose from the ground into the night sky, the tail of the flame left behind by the burning propulsion of the anti-aircraft bomb.

Shangguan Qingyun didn't say a word, and chased after the trajectory of the anti-aircraft bomb. Everyone wanted to follow Shangguan Qingyun together, but Shangguan Hong stopped everyone.

"Qingyun can handle it alone. ”

Shangguan Hong's tone was calm, but tears were already in his eyes. He clenched his fists, praying that Shangguan Qingyun would survive.
