Chapter 29: The Runaway Admiral
"What's going on?"
In the small, purpose-built cabin, a few people were arguing over the unusual shaking of the ship, but that was all.
"It must be a djinn......"
"And the snake!"
Everyone is exhausted at the moment, and they are terminally ill, and the fear for their lives is in front of them.
And this life-threatening concern is not the djinn and Jörmungandr outside, but the radioactive sources they brought on board in their briefcases! It is one of the baits used to lure the djinn.
Moreover, the bleeding of the seven orifices is no longer enough to describe their tragic situation at the moment, and it is more appropriate to add a bruise all over the body to describe it.
"Silence!"
A shout that wasn't too loud.
Finn spoke, and although Finn, like the death squads, had begun to fester, his mental outlook was getting stronger and stronger, as calm as those brave and fearless heroes before they died.
With these words and Finn's prestige, the chattering cabin suddenly fell silent, and only Finn's voice remained.
"Since you are going to be heroes here, please forget your fears!"
Finn doesn't have a good face with these fellows who have come to dilute his glory!
After all, lone heroes are better.
Yes, Finn was asked to be a hero from an early age, to be a hero like in ancient Greek legends, and to be willing to die before death......
And it's the kind of tragic hero who can die heroically on the way to the charge, which is also an acceptable choice for Finn.
And as a hero, he is called to forget everything about mortals, gratitude and fear are only shields that the weak and cowards have! Forbearance and obedience are the qualities of a true hero, at least before he betrayed Attila.
Suddenly, one of the soldiers said, "Sir, the djinn has begun to devour the metal, do you want to detonate the nuclear bomb as planned!" ”
The soldier's arms and lips trembled as he said this, and his tone was eager.
"Have you asked the headquarters? What do they think about the tipping point being too close to the coastline? ”
"I didn't ...... No reply ......"
Suddenly, the atmosphere in this cabin was quieter than when Finn had asked for silence just now, and even everyone's heartbeat could be heard under the raging storm outside.
"Huh...... Bureaucratic ......"
Finn closed his eyes, the blood scab that had congealed at the corners of his eyes was torn by his eyelids, and he was stained with a few short eyelashes, and he said, "Detonate!" ”
A real hero, as long as he knows his noble character, even if he bears the infamy of a butcher, he always feels so uncomfortable!
Finn's hands clenched into fists, his teeth clenched together, and his gums began to ooze blood.
"Yes......" the crowd replied.
Apparently, the people did not hear the answer they wanted in their minds, and their desire for life was obliterated by their superiors and the glory of their hearts! After all, he didn't say the words of begging for mercy and quitting.
Outside the cabin, the djinn had begun to evolve under the protection of Jörmungard, and the old scale armor was gradually replaced by new scale armor, and this new scale armor was not the same chaotic growth as before, but wrapped around him like the scales of a fish, fine and uniform.
Energy flowed like a torrent, and the consequence of the frantic operation of the Atomic Furnace was the heat, and even the metal that the Djinn used to evolve was melted! Dripping into the sea and creating a mist.
Therefore, the djinn's whole body was red like a ripe dragon fruit, and some sparks splashed into the air when the evening breeze blew! A few stars were added to the moon's outstanding night sky, and the evaporating white vapor of the djinn filled the entire surface of the sea.
"The time has come!" Finn muttered.
They firmly believe that any creature will have a brief period of weakness when the old armor alternates with the new armor, which is unfortunate...... They guessed right!
Of course, it's not just the djinn who is calculated, but also the guys who only think of heroes as cannon fodder.
The red mercury bomb is the first time that it has shown its edge in this other world! But he didn't expect that the mushroom cloud it brought would bloom on the land where it was developed, just like a trap that he had worked so hard to prepare, and he had accidentally stepped on it all over again.
The special steel carried by the freighter turned into the best shrapnel! The radioactive sources used to lure the djinn and Jörmungård were scattered.
……
"General...... Detonated! The secretary, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head to the director of the sanitation bureau and said.
"Is this out of the radiation range?"
The secretary did not answer, or he did not know how to calculate the radiation range of a nuclear explosion.
The answer was finally clear, why the admiral didn't respond to Finn's question, it turned out that he was busy running away, escaping the radiation zone that could threaten his life.
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew quickly from the shoreline, but it was only a strong wind.
The wind blew, and nothing happened to the two men except to snatch the hats of the general and the secretary away, except for the admiral to get into the car and step on the clutch like crazy.
"Mushroom Cloud...... It's over......"
The general sat in his position dejectedly, he knew that everything was over for him! Whether it is his reputation or his future, it will be ruined by those media who are desperate for ratings!
All his efforts, even shameless efforts to win the position of the Environmental Sanitation Bureau, are not just for the legendary fifth star? Just like the great Pingyang general in the past.
But with that red mercury bomb exploding not far from the coastline, it was all over......
He is no longer a respected general, but a spurned old fellow, an old immortal waste, a madman who dares to gamble with countless civilian lives.
"But, who would have predicted that those damn otherworldly creatures would appear so quickly!"
The admiral climbed out of the car door and roared hysterically at the sky!
"It's clear that the place where they attacked the freighter is still so far away...... Why does it appear in the offshore? ”
The Admiral's tears rolled down with the dirt, while the mushroom cloud rose not far away!
The huge yield brings with it a larger mushroom cloud, so the Admiral can see clearly even outside of the radiation range! See the white mushroom cloud that pierces the atmosphere. Just as the inner demon stood in the heart of a qi practitioner, this huge mushroom cloud also stood in the heart of the admiral forever.
After a while, the secretary cautiously came to the admiral, who was still asking why, and handed him the satellite phone from his hand.
Facing the general's puzzled eyes, the secretary explained in a low voice: "It's the League of Nations, not the ...... of the military department."
The secretary thought that he could comfort the general, but he didn't expect that as soon as the general heard the words of the League of Nations, he fainted directly, so it was better to tell him about the military department!
After all, malfeasance and incompetence are no better than crimes against humanity, and even they are not a good thing.
