Chapter 150: Forest Tsunami
At first, there were only one or two exclamations of horror.
But as time went on, the residents of the underground city who were lying on the ground with their eyes closed could not help but open their eyes and look up at the sky.
At this moment, the annihilation reaction has basically come to an end, and the light ball in the sky is no longer dazzling, but the huge mushroom cloud that soars into the sky still attracts everyone's attention.
Hong Chengdong stared blankly at the explosion scene that was mostly blocked by the heavy bulldozer, and swallowed hard.
At this moment, there was only one thought left in his mind:
Damn, you call this fireworks? ! !
Listening to the exclamations coming from behind, Chen Fan's face did not relax, but became more solemn.
The real danger is still behind!
Similar to nuclear bombs, the lethality of a single-soldier antimatter bomb detonated in the atmosphere of a planet is mainly in the supersonic shock wave caused by the explosion!
[Ding! ]
A crisp reminder sounded in Chen Fan's ears, and a blue holographic image automatically appeared beside him.
[Countdown to the arrival of the shock wave: 10, 9, 8...]
Next to the countdown, the aerial footage from the detection drone was clearly presented in front of Chen Fan!
A huge deep pit like a meteorite crater appeared out of thin air in the lush forest. Around the deep pit, a shock wave visible to the naked eye was like ripples splashed by falling rocks on the water, spreading to the surroundings at a very high speed!
Wherever the shock wave reached, the ground was in a mess - whether it was an old tree that had survived for hundreds of years and had intertwined roots, or a rock deep underground, it was like paper in front of this supersonic shock wave, and it turned into a piece of powder in an instant!
In the originally lush forest, a yellow-brown area with the explosion point as the center of the circle, which was still expanding, suddenly appeared!
[5, 4, 3...]
The countdown continued to beat.
As the diffusion range gradually increased, the speed of the shock wave slowed down significantly, but its unstoppable momentum did not weaken at all!
Chen Fan clenched his fist lightly, feeling the slight sweat in his palm that had seeped out at some point, and he subconsciously held his breath.
I don't know when the screams behind me completely disappeared.
Looking at the "tsunami" composed of sand and tree debris sweeping from the sky, all the residents of the underground city showed deep horror in their eyes!
They instinctively lowered their heads and crouched on the ground as much as possible.
[2, 1... shock wave arrives! ]
The moment the electronic synthesized sound fell, the sky and the earth suddenly changed color!
The forest tsunami came instantly with an invincible momentum!
A large amount of gravel and sand hit the almost transparent single-soldier protective force field under the huge wind force, and countless tiny ripples continued to ripple in the air.
Bang! Bang!!
Before Chen Fan could catch his breath, several large trees that were cut off from the waist violently hit the single-soldier protective force field!
The tiny ripples expanded instantly, and the alarm from Yi sounded in his mind.
[Warning! 】
【The area covered by the individual protective force field is too large, and the force field generation device is overloaded. Please shrink the protective force field immediately! 】
Chen Fan ignored the yellow warning signal that kept flashing in the holographic projection in front of him. Shrink
the protective force field?
What a joke!
Putting aside other things, these survivors behind him are real achievements and credit points! ! !
The yellow warning signal in front of him flashed quickly a few times and then turned into blood red silently.
The electronic synthesized sound also became urgent: [Warning! 】
【The force field generation unit is about to overload, and the individual protective force field is about to disappear. Please pay attention to your own protection! 】
Bang!
A two or three meter high bluestone flew lightly in the air and hit the completely transparent protective force field with ease.
Huge ripples were generated from the collision, and the individual protective force field slowly dissipated in the air after flashing several times in succession.
The shock wave is coming to an end.
"Dangdangdang..."
The violent collision sound came from the heavy bulldozer in front of everyone!
As the last barrier, the heavy bulldozer made a violent roar under Yi's control.
The power of heavy machinery was fully displayed in front of Chen Fan at this moment! The
power of the nuclear fusion reactor soared instantly. Driven by the motor, the tracks under it began to move forward slowly, trying to resist the last trace of the shock wave!
Half a second later, the wind was light and the clouds were light.
Chen Fan looked at the suddenly clear sky in a trance for a long time, and then he turned his head and looked behind him.
The ground after the shock wave was desolate.
Only the area where he and the residents of the underground city were still full of greenery.
After waiting for a while.
A huge roar came from the center of the explosion in the distance, like the angry roar of the gods above the nine heavens!
When the roar of the explosion completely dissipated, Chen Fan took a deep breath and whispered to the residents of the underground city who had already fallen into a daze:
"Everyone, we should continue to set off."
...
Varela City.
The ball of light in the sky gradually dissipated, and a huge mushroom cloud slowly rose.
The door of the North Church slowly opened, and Xu Huai, wearing an elegant and luxurious papal robe, slowly walked out of the door.
She looked calmly, looking up at the gray mushroom cloud in the sky, with a trace of shock in her eyes that others could not detect.
Unlike other people in Varela City, as the Pope, she naturally knew more hidden secret information. In her opinion, the scene before her was somewhat similar to the disaster that occurred in the first year of Varela.
Mushroom cloud, huge ball of light appeared in the sky...
Did another nuclear bomb explode?
Xu Huai, who knew the truth of the disaster, could not help but have a terrifying guess in his mind.
What happened outside the city?
Just as Xu Huai was worried, a violent roar came from outside the city.
Then, under the gaze of everyone in the city, the overwhelming dust and tree debris swept in and hit the Wall of Sighs fiercely!
The next second, ripples suddenly appeared on the towering plasma barrier, and the extremely high temperature plasma melted the dust and tree debris in an instant!
The burning crackling sound echoed in the city of Varela, causing panic for a while.
After watching silently for a moment, Xu Huai retracted her gaze - she knew in her heart that these weak dust could not affect the solid Wall of Sighs in Varela City.
Sure enough, after a short wait, the dust outside the city gradually dissipated, and the dim sky became clear again.
"Goddess above..."
"Lord, please protect Varela..."
Prayers came from the side.
Looking at the guards kneeling on the ground and praying to the gods with their eyes closed, Xu Huai sighed silently.
With their efforts, the church that was originally weighing on the heads of the residents of Varela has completely collapsed.
But when will the gods that weigh on everyone's hearts be broken?
After serving as the pope for a short period of time, Xu Huai gradually realized a problem:
the faith that has been continuously reinforced and passed down by generations may not be erased by a simple sentence.
There is no creation without destruction.
To liberate this almost self-contained thought, there must be enough strong turmoil and external stimulation.
As a completely blocked and closed city lacking external stimulation, Varela City is undoubtedly the most difficult to change.
The collision of internal ideas will only lead to huge and tragic bloodshed.
This can be seen from the previous conflict with the church.
But now Varela City...
after experiencing the incident some time ago, it is simply unable to support a new round of changes in a short period of time.
The reason is very simple.
The city of Varela, which is already seriously underpopulated, has even stepped half a foot into the brink of decline.
Let alone the bloodshed, even if it develops normally, Varela may fall into the abyss of continuous decline!
Unless...
Xu Huai's mind once again reflects on the idea that has been circulating for several times.
Unless Varela can inject a batch of fresh blood, a batch of fresh blood that has never heard of gods!
Just like what the church did a hundred years ago!
Only in this way can the two major problems of Varela be solved - while the population is growing rapidly, the ideas of both sides will collide with each other, and the narrow god-worshiping ideas of the residents of Varela will be gradually diluted and eventually disappear in the long river of history.
But... things are different now.
The church at that time could order the city gates to be opened to attract refugees outside the city.
That was because there was a lot of radiation in the outside world, and the terrible and harsh living environment made these refugees regard Varela as their last hope.
But now...
even if she risked being discovered by the intelligent machines and let a small number of residents walk out of Varela, she did not achieve any desired results -
the outside of the city is a real no-man's land.
In the vast forest, let alone refugees, there is not even a trace of human survival!
When Xu Huai first heard the news, she was in a trance for a while. She even suspected that the humans outside the city had been slaughtered by the intelligent machines!
The reason why there was still a little hope in her heart was mainly because she knew Chen Fan's identity and Chen Fan's mission in this world.
I don't know how Chen Fan's investigation mission was carried out.
Xu Huai's eyes moved slightly, and he raised his head again to look at the mushroom cloud in the sky that still retained its complete shape.
This thing...
Could it be made by Chen Fan?
Just as Xu Huai began to think about the possibility of this conjecture in his heart, a burst of hurried footsteps came from the cement road outside the North Church.
The sound of the guards' armor rubbing against each other was particularly harsh in the quiet cathedral area.
"Your Highness!"
"Outside the city, there is a mechanical monster outside the city!!"
The panicked voice woke Xu Huai up.
Mechanical monster?
Could it be... intelligent machines?
When she thought of this possibility, the expression on her face suddenly became solemn.
Without any hesitation, she walked down the steps of the North Church and headed towards the Wall of Sighs: "Notify all the guards in the city, everyone, go to the Wall of Sighs in East City immediately!"
