Chapter 365: BOMBARDMENT
Dongying is a country with little land and many people, and every city has a massive population. As long as Zhang Sanfeng rushes into a city, the power-holders of Dongying would not dare to release a Mushroom Bomb, unless they were insane enough to want to sacrifice the lives of hundreds of thousands or millions of commoners.
Meng Yifan did not intend to tank a Mushroom Bomb either; he wanted to run, but he had now encountered the same situation as Ao Bi'an had back then.
That is, the missile's flight speed exceeded Meng Yifan's movement speed, and the missile also carried an automatic target-locking function, sticking to him like a dog-skin plaster, never giving up until it reached its target.
"Blow up for me!" Meng Yifan shouted loudly, pulled two Gustav Rocket Launchers out of his Space Ring, aimed them at the two missiles carrying Mushroom Bombs, and fired the rockets.
The flight trajectory of the missiles carrying the Mushroom Bombs was not a straight line, but this did not matter. With Meng Yifan's current marksmanship, he could easily calculate the missiles' subsequent flight trajectories, and the two rockets struck the Mushroom Bombs almost simultaneously.
"Boom! Boom!" The two Mushroom Bombs were detonated. In an instant, the Greater Yang lost its color, and two massive mushroom clouds rose off the coast of Dongying, with a huge shockwave spreading out in all directions.
The seawater at the center of the explosion was directly vaporized, and the seawater in the distance was pushed by the shockwave, forming a tsunami hundreds of meters high.
There were no large towns near this coastline, but there were still some villages along the coast. They were inevitably affected by the Mushroom Bomb explosion; the overwhelming tsunami, combined with the spreading nuclear radiation, caused at least over a thousand people to lose their lives.
For the power-holders of Dongying, as long as they could take out Meng Yifan and Zhang Sanfeng, let alone sacrificing over a thousand commoners, even the death or injury of over ten thousand commoners was a trivial matter not worth mentioning.
"That guy was blown to death, right?" In the Dongying command room, the short man stared intently at the LCD screen. The image on it was filled with light and heat, and the air was burned and distorted, making it impossible to see what the scene at the center of the explosion looked like.
The Major General in the command room also stared intently at the screen and said, "Prime Minister, these two Mushroom Bombs are each equivalent to a 100,000-ton TNT explosion. Exploding simultaneously at close range to Meng Yifan, he must certainly be dead without a doubt."
At this very moment, the major military powers across the globe had locked onto the center of the two Mushroom Bomb explosions via satellite, waiting to see if Meng Yifan could survive after the mushroom clouds dissipated.
Since the invention of the Mushroom Bomb, it has rarely been used in actual combat; only Dongying was bombed twice by the Americans, destroying two cities and causing over 400,000 casualties.
Now Dongying had also launched these two for actual combat, yet the target was locked onto only one person. It sounds somewhat unbelievable, but such a thing had truly happened.
That black Lieutenant General from Meili Country understood the actions of the Dongying power-holders very well. Facing peak combatants of Earth like Meng Yifan and Zhang Sanfeng, only by using Mushroom Bombs could they deal with them; other conventional weapons were useless against them.
Inside the Shenzhou command room, Chu Yunlong and Yang Yijian were also nervously watching the images transmitted back by the satellite. Never in history had anyone ever tanked a Mushroom Bomb.
Everyone knew that the Mushroom Bomb was a strategic weapon, a National Guardian Divine Artifact. As long as one had the Mushroom Bomb in hand, one could awe all directions and make the masses tremble with fear.
"True Person Meng, he should be fine, right?" Chu Yunlong asked worriedly.
"Hard to say. After all, that was a Mushroom Bomb explosion, and two of them exploding at the same time; the destructive power is too great. Even if True Person Meng is a Fifth-grade Cultivator, he might not necessarily be able to withstand it," Yang Yijian said with deep concern.
At this moment, Yang Yijian suddenly understood that Meng Yifan not letting him follow to take revenge was the right decision.
This was too terrifying. Before even getting close to the Dongying mainland, they were hit by two Mushroom Bombs. If Yang Yijian had been present, the speed at which the Mushroom Bombs flew was far too fast, far exceeding the speed of Yang Yijian's sword flight.
Even if Meng Yifan went to block the Mushroom Bomb explosion, Yang Yijian flew too slowly and simply could not dodge the ensuing shockwave.
With Yang Yijian's Third Grade Peak cultivation, let alone a Mushroom Bomb explosion, he wouldn't even be able to dodge the volley of over a hundred Patriot Missiles from before.
"My strength is still too weak. I must advance to a Fourth-grade Immortal Cultivator as soon as possible, otherwise I won't even have the qualifications to participate in the decisive battle," Yang Yijian muttered.
It is unknown how much time passed, but when the mushroom clouds slowly dissipated, everyone was surprised to find that at the center of the explosion, a massive Black and White Grinding Disc stood horizontally in Heaven, surrounded by gusts of wild wind, Lightning and Thunder, and streams of water.
"This is... Meng Yifan's Divine Ability. Could it be that he is still alive?" The short man in the Dongying command room stood up abruptly.
"Impossible, those were two Mushroom Bombs. How could it be possible not to even blow a person to death?" The Dongying Major General was dumbfounded, looking at the LCD screen in disbelief.
As the mushroom clouds completely dissipated, the image on the LCD screen became clearer and clearer. Everyone in the combat command room clearly saw that although Meng Yifan's clothes were tattered, his hair was scorched, his face was pale, and blood was flowing from the corners of his mouth, he had truly survived.
On Earth, everyone who saw this scene was stunned. It could be said that Meng Yifan had set a Guinness World Record.
That is, an individual tanking two Mushroom Bomb explosions and still fucking surviving.
It is believed that for a long time to come, no one will break this world record.
"Even such a great killing weapon as the Mushroom Bomb couldn't blow that Shenzhou person to death? Heavens, the Immortal Cultivators of Shenzhou are actually this powerful. If we become enemies with Shenzhou in the future, what method should we use to deal with his attacks? His threat alone is even more terrifying than a Mushroom Bomb," the black Lieutenant General from Meili Country said in surprise.
"Cough! Cough!" Meng Yifan coughed violently a few times, then opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of stagnant blood. Tanking the explosion of two Mushroom Bombs was also very uncomfortable for him; his internal organs had all been shaken out of place, and he felt very unwell now.
Fortunately, Meng Yifan had just used two rockets to detonate the Mushroom Bombs from a distance; otherwise, if he had really let these two Mushroom Bombs explode right next to him, he would have been severely injured if not dead.
"Daring to use Mushroom Bombs to bomb me, damn it! I'm not finished with you lot." Meng Yifan did not stay in the air. Since Dongying had Mushroom Bombs, staying in mid-air would make him a living target.
Meng Yifan's body flickered, and he rushed into the Dongying mainland as fast as lightning. In a few flashes, he had rushed out several kilometers. With the obstruction of mountain forests, houses, and other debris, the satellites in the sky simply could not lock onto Meng Yifan's figure.
Meng Yifan and Zhang Sanfeng converged and quickly rushed toward the Dongying missile launch base. Soon, the two arrived at a desolate mountain peak.
No one expected that this mountain peak, which looked overgrown with weeds, had actually been hollowed out long ago, with a large number of missile silos deployed inside.
