Then, a panoramic view appeared on the huge main screen, which was the panoramic camera set up on the top of the hill at the Xiling base.

Although the camera is positioned high, it has a wide field of view.

However, due to the distance from the target, the footage in the heavy rain was still very blurry.

Even so, everyone could still clearly see that on the screen, the distant target was shrouded in a ball of light about two kilometers in diameter.

The sphere of light was as dazzling as a small sun, and everyone knew perfectly well what would happen to the people inside.

No one could survive such an attack.

"The Fire-Speaking Clan is extinct..." Ma Hao murmured.

Although he had successfully resolved the hidden danger in his heart, he was still so shocked by the earth-shattering explosion that he was speechless.

At this moment, Ma Hao vaguely recalled what the engineer from headquarters had said to him when the base was setting up the pulse cannon.

"The biggest advantage of electromagnetic pulse weapons is their cleanliness," the engineer said proudly at the time.

Therefore, it will not leave behind radioactive contamination that needs to be treated, nor will it have long-term ecological impacts on the environment. This assumes you don't care about the minor issue of erasing the target at the molecular level.

But the engineer could never have imagined that this pulse cannon, under Li Yu's control, could unleash such terrifying power.

Ma Hao's gaze involuntarily fell on Li Yu, his heart filled with immense curiosity about how he had managed to do it.

There really is such a miraculous superpower in this world, capable of increasing the power of a pulse cannon to such an unimaginable degree.

Upon seeing the stunning visuals on the screen, along with the notification "Target successfully destroyed," a cheer suddenly erupted in the control room:

"Success! Target hit!" The staff clapped and celebrated excitedly.

After all, this was the first time they had successfully used pulse cannons to carry out an enemy annihilation mission, and they had achieved such amazing results.

Touching his eardrums, still sore from the loud bang, the technician loudly reminded the cheering crowd:

"It's not over yet, watch out for the shockwave!"

As if in response to his reminder, the aftershocks swept in like ocean waves.

The entire Xiling base suddenly shook violently, the surveillance footage swayed wildly, all kinds of equipment flickered, and many people were thrown to the ground.

The earthquake triggered by the pulse shell explosion continues to expand outward.

Just like when the dragon vein rose up before, this pulse cannon attack caused the earth to tremble, and the tremors were felt throughout most of the Central Continent.

Recently, strong and frequent earthquakes have occurred one after another in Zhongzhou, and everyone has become accustomed to it.

Faced with yet another widespread earthquake, the awakened ones, while not panicking, couldn't help but speculate:

"Another earthquake?"

"What was that sound? It was so loud."

"What? Has another dragon vein risen up? But that's too fast!"

Some awakened individuals who knew the inside story thought that yet another dragon vein had erupted.

......

At the same time, the phone at the Thunder Bureau headquarters rang incessantly.

One of the calls was from the official defense department of Zhongzhou, requesting that it be immediately transferred to Lei Zhanyong to answer personally.

Just now, alarms were flashing wildly in the official monitoring center of Zhongzhou, and the energy peak data directly exceeded the range that the instruments could measure.

Countless sensory awakened individuals within the department clearly captured the terrifying pillar of light piercing the sky; its powerful energy fluctuations caused the entire Central Continent to tremble.

After a swift official investigation, they were surprised to discover that this was actually the commotion orchestrated by the Central State Thunder Bureau.

Inside the office, Lei Zhanyong had just answered the phone when the Minister of Defense's angry voice immediately came through, issuing an urgent inquiry:

"Is your Thunder Bureau testing a weapon that could destroy the world?"

"Why wasn't this reported!"

Lei Zhanyong replied in a serious tone, "This is just a routine experiment by the Thunder Bureau. Everything is under control and there is no need to report it."

"Lei Zhanyong! You call this a controlled experiment?!"

The Minister of Defense on the other end of the phone was visibly agitated; there was even a sound of him angrily slamming his fist on the table.

"Developing new weapons is one thing, but secretly conducting experiments on them and not reporting such a big thing? Is your Thunder Bureau trying to rebel?!"

"Don't think we don't know, that's not a regular pulse cannon! It's an antimatter annihilation reaction!" The Minister of Defense's voice was filled with anger and accusation.

Upon hearing this, Lei Zhanyong's pupils constricted sharply, and he was secretly shocked.

He hadn't expected the official investigation to be so thorough, but he still replied slowly:

"Calm down first. Things are complicated, but this is indeed just a routine test and is definitely not some new weapon that could destroy the world."

Lei Zhanyong paused briefly, then changed to a more conciliatory tone and said:

"Give me twenty minutes, and I will investigate this matter personally."

"Then you'd better hurry." The call was immediately disconnected.

Lei Zhanyong hung up the phone. He was perfectly aware of the cause of the earthquake and there was no need for investigation.

He also understood that this was not a new weapon test at all, but rather Li Yu was using a giant pulse cannon at the Xiling base of the Thunder Bureau!

Saying they're conducting a personal investigation is just an excuse to delay things.

After sitting down, Lei Zhanyong stared intently at the screen in front of him, which was showing the entire process before and after the pulse cannon hit the target, and even the recording of Li Yu firing the cannon.

In the video, after a thunderous roar, the pulse cannon leveled the target, and the intense tremor was comparable to an earthquake caused by the rise of the ley lines in the Central Plains.
