Chapter 184
Drip!
Water droplets slowly fell to the ground, causing a sound in the quiet passage.
Terminator Arnold stepped with firm steps, walked to the two large boxes, and stopped.
The electronic eye slowly scanned the boxes. Suddenly, he lifted his foot and stepped on the ground. After he moved his foot away, a crushed scarab beetle remained on the ground.
Arnold grabbed the scarab beetle, put it into his body, and then slowly opened the box.
Inside the two boxes were two bodies as silent as death, precisely the first generation of Nemesis.
This Nemesis was originally a biochemical weapon Ye Nan used for battle, but because of the scarab beetle's attack, he abandoned it and let it sleep here. It is strange to say that the scarab beetle gnawed on the Terminator but had no reaction to the Nemesis in the box.
After Arnold opened the two boxes, he didn't make any further moves, but instead took a step back, focusing his electronic eye on his companion, the Terminator.
The once majestic Terminator was covered in traces of gnawing, and some parts inside its body were exposed.
"Recycle."
Arnold took out palm-sized crystal blocks from his companion's body. This was the Terminator's power source, the hydrogen battery.
One after another, he took all the hydrogen batteries from his companion's body. Arnold walked to the Nemesis again and used violent means to break open the Nemesis's body, revealing the bomb inside.
"Warning, warning, Nemesis has suffered heavy damage, initiating self-destruct program."
The moment Arnold broke open the Nemesis's flesh, the intelligent chip in the Nemesis's brain sounded a crazy alarm, and commands were sent out from the chip one after another.
"Terminate self-destruct program."
"Higher authority command discovered, self-destruct program terminated."
Arnold's cold voice sounded, and the Nemesis, which was about to explode, suddenly stalled and returned to its original state.
Arnold placed the hydrogen battery inside the Nemesis's body and used the Nemesis's own flesh and blood to cover it up.
"After twenty-six hours, initiate nuclear reaction and release energy."
Arnold gave the order to the Nemesis, his voice cold and ruthless.
Ye Nan and Lie Hu constantly passed through the passage, walking rapidly under the ground of Hamunaptra.
"Where are we going?" Lie Hu asked.
According to his original intention, they should go to hunt other cloned mutants and cut off the wings of the organization. After all, the birth of cloned mutants also required luck. Many cloned mutants were just beasts through and through when they were born, unable to be used and could only be killed.
However, Ye Nan ignored those cloned mutants and marched rapidly toward the underground, as if looking for something.
"We are going to find the Book of Amun-Ra," Ye Nan answered.
"Book of Amun-Ra?" Lie Hu was somewhat confused, "How can such a thing in mythology exist?"
"Since Imhotep has appeared, why can't it exist?" Ye Nan asked back.
"As far as I know, if Imhotep wants to be resurrected, he must recite the incantations in the Book of the Dead, and to kill him, one needs the Book of Amun-Ra."
"Of course, these are all just mythological legends. In fact, I am looking for the Book of Amun-Ra to solve a mystery, a mystery that has been bothering me."
"What mystery?" Lie Hu asked curiously.
"A mystery about whether Imhotep is technology or a mutant."
"I have always been confused. If Imhotep is a mutant, why can the legendary Book of Amun-Ra eliminate him? But if he is not a mutant, but borrowed the power of alien technology, then why can he emit such strong brain waves?"...
Ordinary humans cannot emit such strong brain waves. Ye Nan even suspected that Imhotep only needed to turn his thoughts and think about problems, and his brain waves would interfere with the real world.
"To solve this mystery, one must find the Book of Amun-Ra and take a look at the text inside."
"But what about the other cloned mutants? They are the organization's weapons. With them, the organization's strength is not just a little bit powerful." Lie Hu became somewhat anxious.
The main force chasing him was those cloned mutants, so he hoped that these cloned mutants would all die to reduce his pressure. If Ye Nan was unwilling to help him, the outcome would be an unknown variable based on his own strength alone.
"Don't worry, they won't be able to go back." Ye Nan sneered, "I have already ordered Arnold to find the remains of the Terminator. I estimate he has already found them and done as I said."
"Using the hydrogen in the hydrogen battery and the bomb inside the Nemesis to produce a fusion reaction, thereby releasing even more powerful energy. Even if the power is not comparable to a nuclear bomb, it will definitely not be much smaller. They cannot escape from Hamunaptra. You can rest assured about this point."
"Nuclear bomb explosion!" Hearing this, Lie Hu shuddered and subconsciously moved away from Ye Nan.
What is a nuclear bomb? A nuclear bomb is the Sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of humanity, which may fall at any time and destroy humanity.
But this madman Ye Nan actually dared to play with the Sword of Damocles; he was simply a madman through and through.
He originally wanted to dissuade Ye Nan, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that he had no qualification to dissuade Ye Nan at all. Now it was Ye Nan helping him, not him helping Ye Nan. If he dissuaded him, he would only leave a bad impression.
"Forget it, anyway, Hamunaptra has nothing to do with me. If it's destroyed, it's destroyed."
Lie Hu said so in his heart, and his mood relaxed.
Ye Nan looked at Lie Hu's relaxed expression and couldn't help but reveal a smile. He knew that Lie Hu had completely figured it out.
Until now, he had not given up the idea of taking Lie Hu under his command, because he knew very well that since Lie Hu possessed strength, it was destined that he would not be mediocre and would not always be an ordinary person. One day, he would come out of the mountains again, and when he came out of the mountains again, that would be when Ye Nan took him under his command.
But before that, he had to let Lie Hu recognize his own position. He was not a hero who saved the country and the people, but an ordinary person, an ordinary person with limited ability and responsibility. And in the future, he would be Ye Nan's subordinate. A subordinate had better not resist orders from above.
The result made him very satisfied. Although Lie Hu revealed a look of intolerance at first, his intolerance dissipated afterward, proving that Lie Hu had successfully recognized his position.
"Hamunaptra, although it is a human relic, the rays contained within it are a fatal curse to ordinary people. An ordinary person living under radiation for a long time will only be eroded by various rays. So destroying it can be considered doing a good deed."
Ye Nan explained with a smile.
"Also, you know clearly that Imhotep is very difficult to deal with. Even if his flesh is eliminated, he will still exist in the form of brain waves and can be resurrected through another body at any time. If he cannot be completely eliminated, I will not be able to eat or sleep in peace."
"Indeed, having such an enemy, one really can't eat or sleep."
Lie Hu fell silent and said nothing.
A person who can't die no matter what, no matter how cunning, won't offend him. And once offended, if one can't find a way to kill him, it's really a nightmare...
"But are you sure your method can kill him? Do you want to drop a few nuclear bombs? I remember there is a suitcase nuclear bomb in the organization."
Lie Hu said worriedly. He was one of the people who offended Imhotep. In order not to be remembered and retaliated against by Imhotep, he began to offer ideas for Ye Nan.
"Suitcase nuclear bomb, how did they get that kind of thing?" Ye Nan exclaimed.
A suitcase nuclear bomb is a micro nuclear bomb, the real Sword of Damocles. Don't look at the satellite orbital cannon claiming that its power is comparable to a nuclear bomb; in reality, the lethality of the satellite orbital cannon is far less than that of a nuclear bomb.
The damage caused by a nuclear bomb has never relied on the explosion to injure the enemy. The explosion is only a very small part. It mainly relies on that terrifying radiation and ubiquitous pollution.
The light radiation produced by a nuclear bomb explosion, such as a 20,000-ton equivalent nuclear bomb explosion, has a light duration of about 2.4 seconds, which is enough to melt a person.
Then there are the N-rays and neutron streams produced by the nuclear bomb. Among them, N-rays are the so-called gamma rays, which can penetrate the human body and kill cells. Even if one is lucky and escapes a disaster, in the days to come, one will be in pain due to cell mutation. The best result is self-mutation, becoming a mutant species adapted to gamma rays.
For example, Godzilla, for example, the Hulk, they are survivors under gamma rays, mutating themselves to adapt to gamma rays. It's just that the Hulk is not just a mutant of gamma rays.
Finally, there is the radioactive contamination produced by the nuclear bomb. This is a long-term and the most terrible sequela after a nuclear bomb explosion.
After a nuclear bomb explosion, the ground soil close to the lower edge of the fireball will be melted by the nuclear bomb and mixed with explosives to form a highly radioactive slag.
These slags splash everywhere along with the explosion and fall on the ground, forming a very serious radioactive contamination area. Once people without protection enter these radioactive contamination areas, they will be caused to get radiation sickness. This disease is very difficult to cure. It can be said that if you get this disease, you can just wait for death.
Of course, in addition to this, there are shock waves produced by the nuclear bomb and nuclear electromagnetic pulses that destroy all electrical appliances. These are fatal injuries.
"Bought from the black market. In the past, there have always been countries that have caused suitcase nuclear bombs to flow out due to this or that negligence." Lie Hu smiled bitterly, but also somewhat dissatisfied.
A country's protection against nuclear bombs is absolutely top-notch, because no one will let nuclear bombs flow out. But even with this top-notch protection, it led to the outflow of nuclear bombs, which is enough to prove that there is a problem within this country. And they clearly knew that the nuclear bomb was lost, but they didn't speak out, purely playing with the fate of all humanity.
"They probably can't open the nuclear bomb, nor can they detonate it." Ye Nan said in a deep voice, "A suitcase nuclear bomb cannot be opened without the correct password, nor can it be detonated, so there is no need to worry."
"We are here." (PS: The subscription is somewhat bleak. I am also adjusting my content. The manuscripts behind all need to be modified, so there are only two updates today. It counts as me owing everyone a chapter. When all the manuscripts are adjusted, I will return them to everyone.)
