Chapter 64: Which good person would install a nuclear warhead at home?
“Crack.”
A slight sound attracted everyone's attention.
Maomao raised his paw innocently and jumped down from the damaged base of the statue.
Then he trotted back to Lu Wenwu's side and lay down side by side with Su Qinghong, pretending to be dead.
With Maomao's light kick, the cracks on the base became more severe, and a large amount of fragments fell off, making a continuous and dense cracking sound.
The "stone" outer layer peeled off, revealing a square metal object underneath.
Light blue energy beams circulated on its surface like water waves, constantly emitting faint energy fluctuations.
There is no need to look at the function, just the seamless shell is something that the wastelanders can create after a nuclear war.
A thick special pipeline is connected to the bottom of this creation, which should be its power supply line.
"There's something strange about this stone shell. It can actually block the penetration of spiritual power?" Anthony said in surprise. "I clearly scanned the sacrificial chamber three times just now!"
"It's incredible that the wastelanders are able to continuously supply it with energy."
Kashan rarely took the initiative to speak and was the first to step forward.
She squatted down, her eyes turned into a strange darkness, and she placed her right hand, which was shrouded in a layer of magical glow, on the metal block, quietly feeling something.
"This should be part of the core of some large electromagnetic restraint device. The secondary structure has been damaged due to overload and disrepair, but the main structure is mostly intact."
"Originally, it should have been able to store a certain amount of information, but unfortunately the storage area was destroyed by the aftermath of the battle, and the rudimentary artificial intelligence inside was also completely destroyed."
"Using ultra-high-intensity high-voltage electricity as a source of energy, this level of energy loss... Is there still a large-scale power generation device operating in the wasteland? This is definitely not something that a small generator or ordinary wind turbine can drive."
Although this socially anxious and timid succubus's inherited craftsmanship is even worse than that of the giant fox girl, she has surprisingly made great achievements in the field of science and technology.
And when Kashan talked about these things, the confident look on his face was very similar to that of well-known experts in certain fields when they were giving lectures.
Very stylish!
There is no way to tell that she actually has the ultimate social anxiety.
The four of them immediately looked at her with admiration.
"So, can we just follow the power lines and look for the generator that's actually running behind them?"
Lu Wenwu rubbed his chin and put forward a simple and crude idea.
"If this device is being maintained by someone, we can capture them, beat them up, and ask them if they know any information about the two gods."
Anthony's mouth twitched, and he blushed and complained, "Can't you just have a peaceful conversation with them? Why are you trying to persuade them physically before even asking?"
Kashan nodded not far away. "It's theoretically possible, but only if the wastelanders don't discover wireless energy transmission technology before the nuclear war breaks out. If they do, we won't be able to find any trace of it."
"Under normal circumstances, I have some equipment that can trace it back to its source to a certain extent, but the radiation and unknown pollution in the wasteland are too dense, the interference is too severe, and it will cause irreversible damage to the equipment."
"Based on the current situation."
Before he could finish his words, the metal cube that was originally flashing blue light suddenly went out.
Kashan was a little surprised, then he bent down to open the slightly rusted connection lock at the connection point, and pulled out the thick power supply line with force.
"There's no power. I don't know if it's because the power supply pipeline is damaged or the power generation end has stopped transmitting energy."
The old monk Ruhuo sighed and said, "Amitabha, it seems we have no chance to learn the secrets of this place."
"There's danger, get out of here!"
At this moment, Su Qinghong, who had been lying dead, suddenly trembled her fox ears, and she suddenly jumped up from the ground, then staggered and almost fell.
Is there danger?
Although no one knew what she had discovered, everyone reacted quickly out of trust in their teammates.
Lu Wenwu immediately took Maomao back to Lingtian Mountain.
He put his right arm around Su Qinghong, who was unable to stand steadily.
The energy in his left hand surged, and he pulled the petite black-skinned succubus closer and tucked her under his armpit. He then spread his wings of heaven and crashed straight through the roof.
Anthony's reaction was equally quick.
He stretched out his hand and carried the old monk, whose fighting spirit had not yet recovered, on his shoulder. He flapped his bat wings behind him and followed closely along the big hole that Lu Wenwu had knocked open.
"Hurry, hurry, fly with the city on your back!" Su Qinghong said anxiously.
"Carrying the city on your back? That would be so tiring." Lu Wenwu joked.
"You guy, you still have the time to be so idle! Hurry up and flirt!"
The frantic fox lady tried to pinch him.
But this body, which had been tempered through thousands of trials and tribulations, was too strong to be twisted.
Lu Wenwu laughed loudly and pushed the Wings of the Sky to the extreme, instantly shooting out at a speed of hundreds of meters per second.
Just about seven or eight seconds after the group escaped, a deafening explosion sounded from the gathering place of ghosts.
A huge amount of flames rose up instantly, and the terrifying air waves almost blew Lu Wenwu, who was flying wildly, off his balance.
Anthony turned around and cast a blood magic to cast a shield, and rushed everyone forward for several thousand meters. The slightly shaky group of five finally stabilized.
"Damn it! There are villains trying to harm me!"
Seeing that all seventeen gathering places were engulfed by the powerful explosion and several small mushroom clouds rose directly from the edge of the city ruins, Lu Wenwu couldn't help but swear.
"What kind of good person would install a small tactical nuclear bomb under their own gathering place? Anyone who installs a self-destruct device in their own home must be seriously sick!"
"So, what exactly is going on here? Is this some kind of backup plan left by the Ghost Base?"
Anthony, who was casting a blood barrier and using Master Ruhuo's lotus platform to assist in flying, muttered with lingering fear.
If Su Qinghong had discovered it a few seconds later, and if she and Lu Wenwu had flown a little slower, the five of them would have all become familiar faces!
Even the special physique of a top-level vampire earl would definitely not be able to withstand a nuclear explosion. The powerful high temperature and impact force would destroy him in a very short time.
However, the explosion of small tactical nuclear bombs is not the end.
Just after this round of shock wave, countless shining meteors appeared in the sky!
These meteors split into hundreds of sub-bodies on their way down, and thousands of them once again added fuel to the explosion of the ghost gathering place!
Lu Wenwu used his eyesight to look carefully, but how could this be a falling meteor?
These are clearly missiles one after another!
At this moment, he deeply understood the artistic conception of "the east wind blows thousands of flowers in the night, and blows down stars like rain."
It would have been better if the beam of light that pierced the sky and earth from the flank had not come towards the five of them.
