Chapter 1108: It's Coming
"Boom!"
The sound of the eruption continued, and a figure appeared more than a dozen miles away—it was Richard.
At this time, Richard's face was as pale as paper, and blood was constantly oozing from under his skin. This is nothing, what is more serious is because of the erosion of void energy, the internal organs are damaged, at this moment he feels that there is a fire burning in the entire chest cavity and abdominal cavity, and the intense pain continues to stimulate the nerves.
And if there were no accidents, the pain would have lasted for the rest of his life until he died—unless he could find a way to clean up the Void's energy erosion—but with Alan Pombo having not succeeded for decades, it was very difficult.
However, paying such a big price is not without gain, in exchange for successfully getting out of danger.
He had previously cast a dozen Void Shift spells in a row, reaching Pompeii under the pursuit of the Dead Sea. He then cast a risky, ultra-long-range void transfer spell to keep the Dead Sea in the volcanic passage and activate the last atomic bomb, the most powerful one he had ever made, to survive.
In short, it cost him almost half his life to solve the trouble of the Dead Sea, which is not a tragic thing.
If he had known earlier that the Dead Sea was in Pompey, he would never have risked returning to Pompeii to collect data.
In his thinking, it is impossible for the truth to transmit information in the very short time after a nuclear explosion, when communication is completely blocked. Even if it did, members of the Truth Society from other places wouldn't have rushed to support so quickly. Even if he could rush over to support so quickly, it wouldn't leave him without any power to resist.
The only explanation for the unexpected appearance of the Dead Sea in Pompeii may be that the Dead Sea itself says - it happens to be nearby, so rush over to take a look.
It can only be said that he is really unlucky: there are very few colored rings in the Truth Society, and he can't usually see them, and he doesn't want to see them, but there happens to be one nearby.
But since things have happened, self-pity will not change anything, and the most rational choice is to recognize the reality and follow the logic to deal with it.
"Whew-"
Richard let out a breath, feeling the "hot" lobes of his lungs dry up, the pain eased slightly, and turned over his hand to take out an iron box-like instrument from the spatial iron ring. Glancing back at the location of the eruption, he estimated the distance, and then swept over the various values of the different gauges on the instrument.
With the values in mind, he put away the instrument and burst out a few free energy elements, heading into the distance.
According to his thoughts, he actually wanted to accurately measure the data of the third atomic bomb. But considering that there may be a certain chance that the Dead Sea will not die, and there is a certain chance that the second colored ring supervisor will jump out of nowhere, it is better to be cautious and collect the most basic data.
In this case, the difference will not be too big, and he can be considered to have collected all the data on the three atomic bombs.
This is naturally different from the planned collection, but it can roughly get the final result he wants, but the error will increase to a certain extent.
In other words, he completed the envisaged experiment in advance in another way, the only difference was that he added a negative state of "Void Energy Erosion" to himself.
Thinking about it this way, it's not so bad.
Richard pondered, walked more than ten miles, and saw the outline of a small town appear at the end of a road, and the names of places on the map flashed quickly in his mind.
In front of it should be a small town called "Kano", there is no wizarding organization, and it is not in the sphere of influence of the Truth Society, just a gathering point for ordinary people. It should be relatively safe to pass through there.
With a nodding of his head, Richard stepped forward.
......
Meanwhile.
Another town not far from the town of Kano - Nova Town.
Two men flew through the air at high speed, passed by the side of the town, and landed in an uninhabited field not far from the town.
One of the two men was dressed in green clothes, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a serious expression, he was the bodyguard of the black-faced old man Oscar, a big man in the Soma Alliance, and had the strength of a fourth-level wizard. At the same time, he also has a strange name compared to this world - Zonghu.
The other man was wearing tan clothes, and his face was somewhat similar to Zong Hu's, but a little less serious and a little more bohemian. He also has the strength of a fourth-level wizard, and also has a strange name similar to "Zonghu" - Nagarjuna.
The reason why they are so similar is very simple, the two of them come from the same family, an incomparably ancient family.
At this time, the two of them stood on the ground, looking at the magma and volcanic debris that were constantly spraying into the air dozens of miles away, and some of the volcanic ash was drifting towards here under the action of the wind, causing the surrounding plants to change color.
The gazes of the two became a little solemn, and one of them Nagarjuna turned his head to look at the location of Nova Town behind him, and could hear a faint noise and panic.
Turning his head, he said to Zong Hu: "It seems that many people are frightened and are fleeing the town one after another. ”
"Normal. Zong Hu responded, "They are just ordinary people, and in the face of this kind of disaster, fear is a normal reaction." Seriously, I'm a little scared right now. ”
"So you're so cowardly, my brother. When Nagarjuna heard this, the corners of his mouth curled, and he spoke slightly, "Sure enough, it's still a little brother." ”
Zong Hu's expression did not change, as if he was used to it, and said a little indifferently: "Don't tell me, you are not afraid at all." On the way over, you also saw that it was not just the eruption of the volcano, but also the strange light and fire. We can see so clearly from so far away, we can imagine how bright the light is and how big the fireball will be. Don't you feel wary and intimidated at all?"
Nagarjuna blinked, and suddenly fell silent.
It didn't take more than ten seconds before Nagarjuna spoke again, glanced at Zong Hu with some reproach, and said, "Okay, my brother, you managed to make the atmosphere a little dull." I'll admit that I don't know what the sudden appearance of light and fire was, but the sense of danger it brought to me was intense. My instincts tell me it's best not to go too far from there. ”
"That's what the adults told me. Zong Hu raised his eyebrows and said, "Lord Oscar said that our mission is to rush to Pompey as soon as possible to support one of our collaborators. The other party has strict time requirements, and must arrive before dawn, and if you can't make it, then the farther away the better, because Pompey will become very dangerous at that time. ”
"It's been a while now. Nagarjuna glanced at the sky, "According to the adults, our mission has been failed and we can go back." It's in line with my instinct, don't take any risks, after all, safety is the most important thing. ”
"Then you agree to go back?" Zong Hu looked at Nagarjuna and asked for his opinion.
"Hah!" Nagarjuna suddenly laughed and said in a loud voice, "How is that possible, my brother!
Don't you know, I've been working against intuition for decades, and I've never listened to intuition — otherwise I wouldn't have been stronger than you. In other words, maybe we failed in our mission, but we have come here, and it is always a pity not to take a look and satisfy our curiosity, right?"
