Chapter 160: Leaving (Part 1)

~8 min read 1,438 words

Such explosive power could only have come from the "Hunter-type individual combat support equipment" equipped by Ghost.

Sun Cheng had studied that thing in detail with Atlas and the others while in the 【Transformers】 world; it not only provided energy for all the exoskeleton equipment and Optical Stealth Net on Ghost's body, but could also be detonated as a last resort, with power equivalent to over three hundred tons of high explosives.

Under normal circumstances, the Hunters would certainly not easily detonate their support equipment unless they were in dire straits or knew they were doomed; only with their ferocity could they make such a crazy move.

Sun Cheng stared intently at the explosion site for a few moments, but after feeling a stinging pain in his retinas, he hurriedly turned his face away.

"You two, are you alright?"

The shockwave from the explosion was already unlikely to cause harm to him, as he was at least ten-plus kilometers away from the center of the blast.

On the contrary, for Hanyi and Fuchou, these two Decepticons, the electromagnetic field disturbance caused by the explosion meant the impact on such Mechanical Life was far greater than on humans.

The two Decepticon Scouts took a good while to recover before emerging from the electromagnetic interference caused by the explosion, the light flickering in their electronic eyes still somewhat dim.

"The Core received some electromagnetic shock, and its status is temporarily affected to a certain degree. But it does not affect operation..."

Hanyi answered first.

Fuchou was even more direct than him, "Master, I am fine!"

"It's good that you're fine..."

Sun Cheng patted his backside; having rested for a long time, his physical strength had recovered quite a bit.

Looking at the sky that was about to brighten, he did some quick calculations in his heart before continuing: "In at most another hour, the sky will be completely bright. After Ghost died, there is basically no more danger on the island..."

There should still be two or three velociraptors and an unknown number of dilophosaurs on the island that escaped their cages and were wandering outside.

However, he also had weapons in hand; inside Sun Cheng's Spherical Space, there were currently thousands of weapons he had purchased in the 【Transformers】 world, including many high-powered individual weapons, so he was not that apprehensive.

It was likely that the explosion had destroyed the Exhibition Center; when Hanyi prepared to open the keypad lock on the other side of the gate, he discovered that the island's security system had gone on strike again.

This time, it was likely impossible to repair; after all, with such a huge commotion on the island, especially under Ghost's insane hunting, in a single night, most of the dozens of people left behind on Nublar Island had already lain here forever.

International Genetic Technologies had poked such a huge hornet's nest; never mind wanting to continue operating any "Dinosaur Exhibition Park," just the aftermath and compensation would be enough to make Hammond go completely bankrupt!

After exiting E Zone, they walked all the way toward the Exhibition Center.

The closer he got to the Exhibition Center, the more Sun Cheng could feel a hint of relief.

Ghost's detonation of the support device just now had clearly terrified the creatures on the island; such a terrifying explosion had obviously scared those dinosaurs as well.

The further they walked toward the Exhibition Center, the harder it was to see any living things.

Especially the dinosaurs; from the messy footprints on the ground, it was not hard to see that these prehistoric giants had also instinctively fled the grasslands, forests, and valleys near the Exhibition Center, running toward other areas of the island they considered safe.

When approaching within three or four kilometers of the Exhibition Center, traces left by the explosion could already be seen.

Sun Cheng picked up a shattered metal plate from the ground, took it to look at, and recognized that this metal plate was a metal dining tray deformed by the blast; without needing to think, it must have come from the Canting or kitchen of the Exhibition Center.

Continuing to move forward, there were more and more various objects blown away by the shockwave of the explosion.

Because the explosion had scared away the birds and beasts nearby, in order to reach the Exhibition Center as quickly as possible, Sun Cheng did not take any more detours along the road he had come from, but walked straight through the forest; ten-plus minutes later, he had already arrived outside the door of the Power Station.

Because it was very close to the Exhibition Center, the Power Station had also suffered a severe impact from the explosion.

As soon as Sun Cheng walked out of the forest and saw the Power Station clearly, he couldn't help but be startled.

The Power Station on Nublar Island was not a very large, low, one-story building; it was originally built relying on a depression on the island, which was why it appeared to be two stories deep inside, and the whole structure was built using rust-proof steel plates.

After the Exhibition Center exploded, although the violent shockwave caused the Power Station to collapse, the wild electromagnetic waves had completely destroyed the island's power supply system.

When Sun Cheng arrived, thick smoke and fire were emerging from inside the Power Station.

It was clear that the previous explosion must have destroyed the equipment in the Power Station's machine room, and the resulting electrical sparks had finally triggered a fire.

At this moment, he finally remembered that before leaving the real world last time, he had placed Doctor Saitele, who had been poisoned by the dilophosaur's neurotoxin, here.

He immediately gave an order, commanding Hanyi and Fuchou to transform back into an ultrathin laptop and a Camera respectively, before he rushed forward and shouted loudly: "Doctor Saitele, Doctor Saitele... can you hear me?"

After shouting a few times without hearing a response from the machine room, Sun Cheng hesitated for a moment; seeing that the fire had not yet fully spread, he kicked the door down.

Scorching heat instantly blew out from the Power Station; he hurriedly poked his head inside and quickly scanned the area before letting out a sigh of relief.

Glancing around, Sun Cheng did not see any living person in the machine room; clearly, Doctor Saitele must have already left this place.

Seeing that the fire was burning larger and larger, he hurriedly closed the door, trotted away from the Power Station, and continued running toward the Exhibition Center.

Thirty minutes later, with the help of the already bright daylight, he could already see that severely dilapidated building impacted by the explosion in his line of sight.

Taking two Hand Grenades from the Spherical Space and placing them on his body, Sun Cheng put the Flashlight into his bag, gripped his weapon, slowed his pace slightly, and walked toward the building.

Because the ground was covered everywhere with rubble and steel bars left by the explosion, he had to slow his pace, while carefully looking around.

Soon arriving at the ruins of the Exhibition Center, Sun Cheng couldn't help but frown slightly.

From the degree of destruction caused by the explosion, he could already see that the center of the great explosion from a short while ago was not here at the Exhibition Center.

He immediately followed the blast zone to search, and soon arrived at a giant pit more than ten meters deep, several hundred meters behind the Exhibition Center, and took a long breath.

The explosion had destroyed everything, and it also made it impossible to see anything in the vicinity.

Sun Cheng looked around and then gave up completely.

He had originally been very curious about whether it was Daqi shao xiao and the others who had killed the last Ghost; now it seemed it was likely a pyrrhic victory.

He was just preparing to leave and then have Hanyi contact the Costa Rica government to send people to pick them up and leave.

Suddenly, Sun Cheng's ears twitched; he had vaguely heard some faint sounds coming from somewhere nearby.

Hurriedly tightening his grip on his weapon, he followed the sound to search, and before long, he found a twitching figure in a water pool more than ten meters away that had been completely evaporated dry by the explosion.
