Chapter 253: The Nuclear Explosion Crisis
After leaving the underground royal city, Shu Yungui and Cheng Sikong returned to the power core, as Shu Yungui expected, the fighters of Sky Island broke through strongly under the protection of the torchbearer, and it only took fifty minutes from taking off to solving the arsenal at the mouth of the sea.
After soaking in the deep sea for several hours, Shu Yungui and Cheng Sikong were finally fished up by the underwater robot, and in the process of leaving the water and rising, they clearly saw the miserable situation of the mouth of the reed.
It takes decades or even centuries to build a city, but it only takes a second to destroy it.
Shu Yungui didn't know what kind of big battle had just happened here, but the statue of the Holy Queen that they had seen before entering the sea had been torn apart at this time, and the long sword in her hand was broken into four or five knots*** In the reeds, the fire burned a large area of the reed, a very flammable plant, and in the "crackling" burning sound, Shu Yungui looked around, and everywhere he could see was scorched earth, and the wreckage of weapons was everywhere.
Dozens of torchbearers were still in charge of the surrounding vigilance tasks, Shu Yungui returned to the fighter plane, changed to a new communication device, and realized how earth-shaking the battle situation of the Ninth Star had changed in the few hours since they entered the sea.
Everything changed almost in the blink of an eye, all the arsenals of the ninth star were captured by the muses at the same time, the nuclear weapons that were no longer intended to be used were pushed out of the silos, and the Tiadis Sky Island sounded the alarm the moment the arsenal authority was seized, everyone thought that the muse's target was the sky island, but they didn't expect the muse to aim at the location where all the transport planes on the ninth star were docked.
In this nuclear attack, the Sky Island lost more than 800 transport planes, countless civilian casualties, and the surface nuclear radiation equivalent instantly exceeded the warning value by nearly 1,000 times.
Chen Qianqian immediately ordered the recovery of all mechs and fighters, and the Tiadis Sky Island protection mode was upgraded to a fully loaded state to filter nuclear radiation to the maximum extent, but due to the excessive energy consumption, Sky Island had to be lifted into the air within three hours and leave the ninth star atmosphere to ensure the safety of the people on the island.
And there are only three hours left for the people of the Ninth Star.
For a while, the surviving transport planes that were about to return from all over the Ninth Star were almost surrounded by the displaced people, and those displaced people who were reluctant to leave before were finally frightened by the sound of artillery fire, regardless of squeezing on the transport plane, even the transport planes that were already fully loaded and began to glide were full of people on both wings, and fell down when the plane was heading up into the sky, and were left in place forever.
According to the statistics on the island, through overtime and non-stop transfer of displaced people, more than three million displaced people have already landed on the island at this time, and the life monitoring system estimates that there are at least nearly one million people on the ninth star, but because it is too scattered, some people learned about the transfer too late, and even more only learned about it after the last transport plane took off, so that the current number of people on the island has not reached the five million estimated by Finn Lauren.
In the chaotic and crowded passage to the island, Cornelys squeezed through the crowd with all her might, and she wanted to find Shu Yungui and tell him that there were still many homeless people on the ground who had missed the transport plane and had to come on their own, hoping that Sky Island would wait for them.
But she didn't have the right to pass, not only did she not find Shu Yungui, but she was even stopped in the scanning cabin on the island, and the refugees who came up from the ninth star had an exclusive resettlement location, and they could not enter the core area of the island at will.
"I'm looking for Shu Yungui! Can you please contact him for me?!"
Cornelys hurriedly said, "Excuse me! I'm really in a hurry with him!"
"The commander-in-chief is not on the island, so let's talk about what you have to wait for him to come back."
The soldiers blocked her path and demanded that she return to the scanning pod immediately and strictly prohibit her from entering the classified area.
Through the portholes, you can see that the height of Sky Island is rising, and the refugees who have come from all directions in various ways cannot reach such a high height, they raise their heads and shout, hoping that the only big guy who saves their lives can stop for themselves, but obviously their voices cannot reach the command room, and they can only watch the hope of life getting farther and farther away from them.
Cornelies was so anxious that she couldn't leave the scanning pod, let alone the command center, but she couldn't watch the people of the ninth star being abandoned, and she didn't have time to weigh the pros and cons.
She mustered up the courage to rush to the door, knocking one of the soldiers to the ground, and the two of them fell together in the hallway, and she was immediately pressed to the ground with her hands on the ground.
"Report, there was a violent card rush incident in the 11th scanning module, request riot support!"
"Roger, the riot squad will arrive at the 11th scanning pod in a minute."
Coincidentally, the anti-riot team hadn't arrived yet, but Zhu Xinyue, who had just gotten off the mecha, passed by the end of the corridor with his helmet in his hand, and saw a large number of people blocking the corridor with his helmet.
"Oops! Are a few big men talking to a little girl?"
Zhu Xinyue tore people away one by one, helped Cornelies, who was in tears, up, tilted her head and asked, "What's the matter?" How did you get held down by them? What did you do?"
Although Corneerys and Zhu Xinyue really didn't know each other, they couldn't wait for Shu Yun to return at the moment, Corneerys grabbed Zhu Xinyue's arm and begged, "There are still a lot of homeless people below who haven't gone to the island, can you ...... Can you make them wait a little longer, just ten minutes! Ten minutes is fine!"
Zhu Xinyue sighed, wondering: "Sky Island's lift-off order is calculated according to the degree of harm to the human body due to the external nuclear radiation equivalent, and the protection mode cannot completely isolate nuclear radiation, if you stay here for one more minute, millions of people on the island will be affected by nuclear radiation for one more minute, do you know what kind of harm excessive nuclear radiation will cause to the human body?"
Cornelys choked and shook her head, Zhu Xinyue sighed, and said, "Human cells will produce abnormalities and get radiation sickness, including but not limited to cancer, leukemia, bone deformation, fertility deformities, etc., I know you are well-intentioned, but in the face of the huge number of millions of people, I think you can score which is more important."
"But...... But they want to live too......
In the face of Cornelies's tears, Zhu Xinyue couldn't say anything to comfort her, so she could only shake her head helplessly, the two girls were silent for a while, Zhu Xinyue suddenly clapped her hands and said, "Hey! Hasn't Shu Yungui come back yet? There are several warplanes on his side, so why don't you just bring those people on the ground when he comes back?"
Cornelies' cry suddenly stopped, and she whispered, "Is it really possible?"
"He and Uncle Cheng both use the 'Ingenuity Space, which should be able to insulate nuclear radiation...... Right?"
Zhu Xinyue scratched her head and said, "Oh, it doesn't matter, let's talk to him first, can they make their own decisions."
She connected to Shu Yungui's communication in front of Cornelies, and through the shaking picture, Shu Yungui could be seen standing by the cabin door, the hoisting of the power core had been completed, and the crew was on the way back.
"What's the matter?"
As soon as Shu Yungui's voice sounded, Corneerys felt as if she had taken a reassuring pill, and all the uneasiness in her heart disappeared at this moment.
Zhu Xinyue stretched out the communicator in front of Cornelies, and Nunu said, "No, you can tell him yourself."
"Shu, Shu Yun returns to ......"
Cornelys whispered, but he didn't expect Shu Yungui to speak first, his face was heavy, and he said in a low voice: "Just now, your cousin Finn Lauren's life ended in the place of sleep, without the permission of your royal family, I left his body there without permission, I'm sorry, but I think he should want to sleep in the ninth star forever."
Cornelies froze in place when she heard the bad news, her brain was still blank, but tears were already pouring out of her eyes.
Shu Yungui, who was on the other side, looked at her crying appearance and was silent for a while, before asking, "Jiejie, what about you?" What are you looking for me?"
In the face of great grief, Cornelius clenched her fists and said, "When are you coming back?" I mean...... There are many, many refugees on the ground who have not yet come to the island, can you help them when you come back?"
This is a difficult request, and opening the cabin door in the event of a nuclear radiation explosion will trap everyone on the plane
Dangerous, Cornelys herself also felt very difficult to open this mouth, and sure enough, Shu Yungui replied, "No."
"I'm under attack by the muses here, the artillery is too dense, we can't break through for the time being, I don't know when we'll be able to go back, maybe we have to meet with Sky Island in outer space, I probably won't pass through your current area."
As he said, in the screen of the communicator, there was constantly a fire behind Shu Yun's return, and the fuselage shook even more, Zhu Xinyue immediately squeezed over when he heard the sound, and asked loudly, "Where are you?" I'll go and help!"
"It's okay, we're ready to take the power core to outer space, the Muse's weapons can't get there, the radiation outside is getting higher and higher, you stay on the island, don't run around."
Zhu Xinyue let out an "oh" sound, and then heard Shu Yungui say: "Cornelis, I'm sorry I can't help you, but I can provide you with a few drones, this is the last chance, once the power core leaves the atmosphere, Sky Island will accelerate up, and the flight altitude of the drones is not high enough to enter outer space, so, this is really the last batch."
Cornelies' grey eyes lit up suddenly, and she nodded quickly, and heard the blonde man's voice over the communicator.
"There are all malignant mutants on the ground, and the weapons carried by drones are limited, and once the malignant attacks the body, everyone in the plane will die."
Outside the picture, Shu Yungui seemed to sigh and said softly, "Let's try it first."
