Chapter 102: After the Nuclear Bomb
Looking at a missile flying rapidly from a distance, Guo Jia had a wry smile on his face.
"Space really doesn't make it easy for us." With a sigh in his heart, he had already opened all the shields on his body.
Although Lu Chen had been prepared for this, the moment the attack really came, there was still infinite tension in his heart.
And the moment the Snow Maiden saw the missile coming, she had already manipulated the ice bird to meet it.
The ice bird is just a summoned creature, and if it dies, the Snow Girl will not feel distressed at all, and if it can be retrieved, if the nuclear bomb can be intercepted, it will be the best news for Lu Chen and them.
Under the nervous gaze of the contractors, the icebird slammed straight into the flying missile.
But such an important missile has an automatic navigation function, and the function is still very powerful, and when the ice bird crashed straight into it, it was instantly thrown away by the missile.
Then, the missile attacked Lu Chen's base straight away, although the ice bird then reacted and chased frantically behind, but its speed was still too slow compared to the missile.
After the ice bird was left far behind, Lu Chen shook his head with a wry smile, and then he no longer had any other thoughts of luck, and began to mobilize the spiritual power of his whole body, reinforcing the space above their heads for a while.
When Lu Chen was reinforced, the Snow Maiden had not given up hope, and desperately urged the ice bird.
At the same time, Guo Jia and Gu Worm also have their own countermeasures, the former is manipulating the base's automatic defense weapon to attack, while Gu Worm is controlling the tyrant under his control to make a final struggle, and the contractor is making a final effort.
Their efforts still had some effect, and the dense bullets finally hit the nuclear bomb. But at this time, the nuclear bomb was already only a few hundred meters away from the base.
A nuclear bomb that was shot. First for a moment, then for a moment. A dazzling glare erupted from the Snow Maiden's ice mirror.
The bright light shattered the ice mirror formed by the magic in an instant, and the contractor lost the ability to observe the outside.
But Lu Chen didn't have time to think about this, in the moment after the strong light, even two hundred meters underground, Lu Chen and the others were affected by the explosion.
First, a loud noise came from above, and then, Lu Chen and the others felt a violent vibration, relying on magnetic perception, Lu Chen could clearly sense that the small hill on the ground was instantly wiped out by the high temperature and shock wave. Then the high temperature brought by the explosion of the nuclear bomb caused the hard steel of the base to melt in an instant, and the weapons and other traps arranged by Guo Jia were all destroyed in an instant.
In just an instant, the entire base was completely reduced to nothing, and at this time, the impact of the explosion had not stopped, and the base formed of steel had come to naught, which did not prevent the spread of the high temperature, and the soil above Lu Chen's head was also burned into glass-like substances by the terrifying high temperature.
Fortunately. The hole Lu Chen dug was deep enough, they were two hundred meters underground, and the nuclear bomb dropped by the umbrella company was not too big.
By the time they reached more than 170 meters underground, the terrifying heat could not destroy everything.
But this does not mean that Lu Chen's disaster has passed. And that's just the beginning.
In addition to the terrifying heat, the nuclear bomb explosion was accompanied by a powerful shock wave.
Everything on the ground has been completely destroyed by the shockwave, which is also spreading underground.
Lu Chen felt as if the cave they were in had suffered a magnitude 9 earthquake. Intense oppression rushed towards the hole from above.
The hard obsidian above was instantly covered with cracks, which made Lu Chen have a lot of strength to make up for it. Fortunately, it was obsidian, and all other stones would be shattered under such a shockwave.
But obsidian can withstand it. It doesn't mean that the pillars in the hole can withstand it, although Lu Chen has deliberately used steel bars in order to reinforce them, but at such a close distance, the role of steel bars is also limited.
A lot of the steel bars that supported the passage of the underground cave were broken in an instant, although Lu Chen was trying his best to make up for it, but he was only one person after all, and the support collapsed, and the soil supported by it also collapsed.
Moreover, the shock wave also brought violent vibrations, and the people in the cavity were dizzy from the shock, unable to stand steadily, and had no strength to dodge.
The collapse caused many refugees to be stoned to death in an instant, and of course Lu Chen tried his best to rescue him in the cave, but after all, he was only a high-level contractor who had just been upgraded, not a savior, and the collapse of a large amount of soil made him feel powerless.
At this moment, the Snow Maiden was not idle, and kept freezing the soil on it with her ice and snow ability, wanting to strengthen it, but her strength was much weaker than Lu Chen's, and these actions were somewhat insignificant.
Seeing this, Oak also stepped in to help, not only him, but Guo Jia, Vivian, and Viper all came to the rescue of the refugees, but there were still many refugees who were stoned to death.
And the contractor is not very safe.
When rescuing people, the earth often falls from the top of their heads, and the contractor is also affected by the shock, and often cannot dodge in time.
Guo Jia is so strong that it's okay, he can't dodge and can use his skills to resist, Dragonfly, Vivian can't be weak, the falling soil still has a terrifying high temperature, it is easy to kill them all, in this case, Lu Chen can only shoot with all his strength to protect the people in the cave.
I saw that at this time, Lu Chen had already maximized the output of spiritual power, and at the same time, the earth element was also summoned by Lu Chen, and this time it was not summoned to let it fight, but to withstand the collapsed wall above.
The power of the earth elemental became extremely strong with Lu Chen's ascension, and under the ground, its strength was simply irresistible, and its arms supported the sky, holding up a piece of the sky for the refugees and contractors below.
And Lu Chen was also constantly consuming his spiritual power, releasing his abilities with all his might, such a terrifying release of spiritual power, Lu Chen also felt great pressure, his face was distorted because of this, and his nostrils and eyes even flowed blood.
The supernormal release of spiritual power can only be carried out at critical moments, and the time cannot be too long, otherwise without the attack of others, the user himself will collapse because he can't withstand the terrifying pressure.
But at this time, Lu Chen couldn't take care of it so much, anyway, he was about to return to the nightmare space, even if he was injured. It can also allow the main god of space to heal.
Lu Chen's powerful outburst finally allowed the void to hold up. It didn't collapse completely, but Lu Chen, who had already collapsed, had no choice.
The nuclear bomb exploded quickly. But it came quickly, and it went quickly, and the strong shock wave quickly spread into the distance, Lu Chen and the others were temporarily safe, and it was only at this time that the refugees recovered from the panic.
They escaped the catastrophe, but they did not feel the slightest sense of joy, too many people died here, and a low, suppressed cry echoed in the cavern.
See here. Because he dodged the nuclear bomb attack, there was also a happy contractor, and he didn't show his expression.
At this time, the shaking stopped, and Lu Chen also spoke.
"Get out of here now, I'm about to run out of it." At this time, the cave was completely supported by Lu Chen's ability, and Lu Chen didn't have the strength to fix them all at this time, and leaving immediately was the best choice for refugees.
Hearing that they are about to be unable to support it, even if they are still sad for their dead companions and loved ones, but the deceased have been laid to rest in peace, and the living people will continue to live, they can only carry a heavy heart. Follow Lu Chen out of the cave.
Lu Chen let the earth elemental support the hole in the ground, while he dug the passage himself.
This time, Lu Chen did not dig directly into it, it was the central location of the nuclear bomb attack, and there may be an accident when he went out at this time.
And it is difficult for refugees to survive anywhere. Since he had already saved them, Lu Chen simply did it to the end and dug it out from the side. It took more than half an hour for Lu Chen and the others to come out of the ground.
And halfway through the march. Lu Chen: They heard the sound of a prompt coming from the nightmare space.
"Nightmare Reminder: The Contractor has survived for seven days and completed the mission in its entirety. You can return to space immediately, or you can be forced to return after twenty-four hours. ”
Lu Chen chose to return twenty-four hours because of the dragonfly, and the other contractors also chose to return twenty-four hours.
Although the role of these refugees is likely to be just to give Lu Chen a reminder from the space, but after all, they are human beings, and if they do not completely destroy their humanity, if they can, the contractor will not be able to see death and not save them.
After all, the mission has passed at this time, and as long as the contractor does not die, it is rare for the enemy to take the initiative to attack them.
Drilling out of the ground, it was not far from their original base, and the speed of underground travel was still incomparable to that of the ground, especially when they had to carry hundreds of people.
Out of the ground, Lu Chen raised his eyes to look at the place where the original base was, where there was already nothing, a huge pit appeared where the original base was, and the soil on the edge of the pit had solidified into other substances due to the high temperature.
Above the ground, things within a few hundred meters were completely destroyed, and the place where Lu Chen was now was originally a small hill, but at this moment, the hill was gone, leaving only a barren plain.
Lu Chen only felt the horror of the power of the nuclear bomb attack, if he hadn't noticed it in advance, he would have been hit defenselessly, not to mention him, even if he had been a high-level contractor who had been famous for a long time, he might not be able to resist it.
However, this is only a low-level mission world, and the space will not issue a mortal mission, giving the contractor a glimmer of life, and the early warning in Lu Chen's heart, the space is not shielded at all, which makes Lu Chen and them prepare in advance.
After Lu Chen, the refugees also came out one by one, they were all injured a little at this time, even if they were not directly hit by the nuclear bomb, the shock and falling rocks were enough to make them die, life is actually a very fragile thing.
Coming out of the ground, I saw that the base where I was originally located was nothing left, and even the ruins were gone.
The captain of the mercenary, this man who was already difficult, actually cried out loud, he was already desperate.
Not only him, but after the refugees behind him came out, looking at the tragic situation in the distance, they couldn't hold back, and the suppressed cries echoed in this area.
They wouldn't have been like this if they hadn't found this base, and they wouldn't have lived in it for a few days, but coming to this base from the chaotic wilderness and dangerous cities made them feel like they had gone from hell to heaven, and the Umbrella Corporation's nuclear bomb attack had them fall from heaven to hell. Such an anti-difference said that even Lu Chen himself could not bear it.
Even a few children in the crowd of refugees could not hold back, and an atmosphere of despair permeated the refugees.
In the past, it was the mercenary captain who came out to appease people, but at this moment, he was also desperate, he was just an ordinary person, the previous mercenary life gave him a little force value, and the guns in his hands gave him a trace of self-protection.
But that's limited to that, in front of the stronger and stronger zombies, he is becoming more and more powerless to return to the sky, this base is his last hope, and it is also destroyed at this time, and he no longer knows what to do next.
Dragonfly tried her best to comfort the refugees, but everyone looked desperate, and he didn't know where his mother would go.
The helpless dragonfly could only look at Lu Chen, but Lu Chen couldn't make the refugees safe, Lu Chen looked at Guo Jia, Guo Jia looked at the ragged refugees and couldn't bear it, but he frowned, and he couldn't think of any good way.
Leaving all the refugees here and then returning immediately was easy for the contractor, but looking at these fellow human beings, the contractor had an indescribable feeling that none of them had returned.
In the end, Lu Chen sighed helplessly.
"Let's all leave, don't stay here for long."
Lu Chen's words made the mercenary captain laugh miserably: "Leave, we can still go there, we are so close to the center of the explosion, we have all been contaminated by nuclear radiation, do you think we can live for a few days." ”
"You have lived in the last days for so long, maybe you have developed antibodies." It's just that when he said this, Lu Chen himself was not confident.
"Antibodies, haha, we're all done." Desperation has driven the mercenary captain a little crazy.
"Damn, it's all you, if it weren't for you here, we wouldn't have been attacked, we would have lived a good life in the base, it's all you." Saying this, the mercenary captain had already rushed over and grabbed Lu Chen's throat tightly, wanting to strangle him to death, but this was stopped by the Gu worm next to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen wanted to say: "If it weren't for us, you wouldn't have been able to seize the base at all, and you would already be involuntary when you entered the base, and whether you could come here or not was a question." ”
But looking at the mercenary captain's blood-red eyes, Lu Chen understood that it was useless for him to say this now, and he had lost his mind by despair.
With a wave of his hand, Lu Chen asked the Gu worm to put the captain down, looked around, and Lu Chen spoke; "I can understand your despair, I have also experienced such a thing, you want to die Actually, I don't want to stop it, but those children, do you also let them die here now?"
When the cave collapsed, the dragonfly had been by those children's side, so Lu Chen deliberately took care of that side, and their side did not collapse at all, and all the children were still alive. (To be continued.) )
