Chapter 1197: Beneath the Nuclear Weapon

Beneath the Nuclear Weapon

Purple thunder wandered, and rain clouds shrouded among the mountains.

Chen Ling pondered and spoke,

"If you didn't make a move against Shen Nan, then that means he discovered some kind of secret, which led to the people of Bureau 749 imprisoning him..."

"What does it have to do with Us?" Ying Fu held the golden Long Spear. A purple thunder crashed down, wandering on the surface of the Long Spear. Looking from afar, he seemed to be holding a thunder dragon, slowly walking toward Chen Ling.

"Us does not care whether you misunderstood or what. Since you kidnapped Us's subject and actively provoked... Today, it is impossible for Us to let you off like this."

As his voice fell, Ying Fu suddenly flung out the thunder dragon in his hand. The roaring purple electric dragon shadow directly pierced through nothingness, about to tear apart Chen Ling's figure with one bite.

Chen Ling stepped on Cloud Steps, flying and sweeping through the air among the continuous mountain ranges. The purple electric dragon shadow and Ying Fu closely followed behind.

Chen Ling subsequently spoke:

Ying Fu's eyes narrowed slightly. He coldly snorted, not knowing what he was pondering.

But even so, Ying Fu did not stop the movements in his hands, but still continued to pursue and kill Chen Ling. Purple thunder rolled, the low and deep roars scaring the wild animals among the mountains into fleeing crazily.

At the same time, Chen Ling's flip phone suddenly rang with a message ringtone.

Chen Ling had no time to check the message. He directly reached his hand into his pocket and touched the phone. A message from Yang Xiao surged into his mind.

Seeing this message, Chen Ling was directly taken aback.

Zzzt——!!

Yet another purple electric dragon shadow descended from the sky. The giant mouth exuding a terrifying aura directly bit toward Chen Ling's body. Chen Ling didn't have time to think much, instantly dividing into densely packed Red Paper tentacles. He forcefully crashed that dragon shadow until it shattered in mid-air, then whistled forward.

"Ying Fu! Now is not the time for us to slaughter each other!!" Chen Ling shouted loudly before even converging into human form. "A nuclear strike is about to arrive!!"

Hearing the words nuclear strike, Ying Fu's brows instantly furrowed.

Although Ying Fu hadn't lived in the modern era for too long, during the era of the Nine Monarchs, he had specially studied a portion of history, especially the part concerning the Great Cataclysm...

Cutting-edge technology regressed, satellites went out of control. Under the fear of the unknown, the western hegemonic countries that were gradually losing power actively set off the Third World War. And the term nuclear strike almost occupied 90% of that history.

Especially under the situation where satellites went out of control, the precision of nuclear strikes sharply decreased. All countries possessing nuclear strike capabilities were using quantity to make up for precision. Moreover, facts proved that the global actual nuclear weapon reserves were probably three times that of what was on the surface... Tens of thousands of nuclear weapons crazily destroyed city after city. It was also starting from this time that human destiny began to rapidly go downhill.

Researchers in the Nine Monarchs era even indicated that even with the Calamity Invasion in the later stages of the Great Cataclysm, the number of human deaths in that stage wasn't even one-tenth of the number of deaths in the nuclear strike and nuclear winter stage.

What truly made the Great Cataclysm so severe wasn't the later impacts from the otherworldly realm, but the earlier self-destruction of humanity.

The purple thunder light gradually dissipated among the cloud layers. Ying Fu didn't pursue Chen Ling anymore, but instead, with tightly furrowed brows, looked toward the direction of Wushan Town...

Chen Ling and Ying Fu entangling and fighting had long since gone deep into the mountains. Naturally, they couldn't hear the town's air raid sirens either. If not for Chen Ling receiving the message from Yang Xiao, they wouldn't know what was going to happen right now.

Ying Fu didn't suspect Chen Ling of deceiving him. After all, even if this kind of thing could deceive for a moment, it couldn't change anything. Moreover, although he was hostile to Chen Ling, he still believed in the character of Chen Ling, this Thespian Emperor, and wouldn't play the clown in this kind of matter.

"Fu Kun!" Ying Fu shouted.

Fu Kun immediately rushed over from afar. "Your Majesty!!"

"Have you contacted Chancellor Han and the others?"

"...No, Your Majesty. After they went to the meeting, their phones and everything couldn't be contacted anymore."

Ying Fu's brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

"Chen Ling, Us will settle accounts with you next time."

Ying Fu coldly threw down a sentence to Chen Ling, then set off to fly out in a certain direction. Fu Kun couldn't fly, so he could only fiercely glare at Chen Ling, then crazily stride his legs to follow behind Ying Fu.

Chen Ling looked at Ying Fu's departing back figure, just about to take out his phone to ask Yang Xiao something more, when he saw Ying Fu and Fu Kun suddenly turn their heads, rapidly running toward his direction!

Chen Ling: ?

In the next moment, Chen Ling knew why the two of them were running.

Among the cloud layers in the distance, a warhead trailing firelight was flying toward the mountains like a flaming meteor. Judging from the trajectory, the landing point was not far away!

Chen Ling's face turned white. He instantly urged his own speed to the extreme, turning into a ball of red clouds and together with Ying Fu's duo turned their heads and crazily fled toward the other side!!

That was absolutely not launched by their own side, but a nuclear weapon from overseas. Under the situation where satellites went out of control, nuclear weapons were very hard to intercept. Moreover, this nuclear weapon also seemed to deviate greatly from its intended landing point, unexpectedly flying straight toward the empty mountains with no one around!

Although Chen Ling could undergo Calamity Transformation, he absolutely couldn't resist a nuclear bomb. As long as he was caught in it, it would mean certain death!

Moreover, this morning Chen Ling had just returned to the Integration Faction and stayed for a month. The Audience Expectation Value increased and decreased, but was still at 36%, nor did he have a chance to resurrect.

"Fck fck fck fck..."

Ying Fu and Chen Ling could both fly in the sky, while Fu Kun's legs were almost spinning so fast they smoked. Sweating profusely, he ran madly Risking His Life. But at this speed, it was fundamentally impossible to escape the nuclear strike range. At the moment the nuclear weapon exploded, he would be sublimated.

Fu Kun had never been so desperate, never hated that his Divine Path couldn't fly. No matter how he thought, he couldn't imagine that what would finally finish him off, would actually be a nuclear bomb.

Right at this moment, a long rope of Ink and Brush was suddenly flung out from the sky. Like a python, it directly bound Fu Kun's body, bringing him to soar into the air!

Fierce winds whistled past his ears. Fu Kun was taken aback. Looking up, he only saw an imperial figure currently holding the other end of the long rope, sweeping through under the sky canopy.

"Your Majesty..." Fu Kun's tears were about to come out. He hadn't expected that Ying Fu would actually make a move to take him along to fly...

One must know that at this juncture, adding a little weight meant slowing down speed a little. And behind them, there was the Grim Reaper chasing.

The black dot symbolizing destruction slowly fell into the mountains.

After a brief silence,

A scorching hot fireball as dazzling as the sun explosively erupted!

The good news was, the landing point of this nuclear weapon was slightly further away than Chen Ling expected. The bad news was, the expansion speed of the explosion was faster than the speed Chen Ling and the others were fleeing!

The scorching blazing sun approached behind the red clouds. Chen Ling pushed his speed to the extreme, but could only just manage to escape the core explosion's range.

But in the next moment, the explosion aftershock visible to the naked eye still swept over the red clouds. His entire person violently spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, falling toward the earth.
