章 221: Chapter 221: Who Dares to Launch a Nuclear Bomb?
"Phew!"
"Damn, fresh air is always so enchanting."
Old Sword God Baiyun led them out of the deep pit, taking large gulps of fresh air. Trapped down there for so long, all they could smell was the stench of evil creatures, nearly suffocating them.
"Strange, why didn't the evil creature chase us out?"
Based on the previous situation, in his current state, forget about being evenly matched with the Evil Lord, even holding on for a few moves was already quite impressive. Yet, the Evil Lord hadn't pursued them.
Could there be a reason?
"Old Sword God Baiyun!"
Qin Han and Li Dacheng shouted.
They hadn't expected Lin Fan to actually rescue Old Sword God Baiyun. In truth, they were unaware that everything was a matter of fate. If Lin Fan hadn't been curious about the sword ball, Old Sword God Baiyun would still be stuck in the pit.
The two groups converged.
Old Sword God Baiyun expressed his gratitude: "Thank you for coming to save me. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know how much longer I could have held on."
Qin Han and Li Dacheng were embarrassed.
They had indeed come to save the Old Sword God.
But unfortunately, they had been completely wiped out by the Evil Lord. If it weren't for Lin Fan, the result would have been the same; they would definitely have met their end before the Old Sword God.
"Old Sword God, your thanks are directed at the wrong person. It was actually him who saved you, and us as well."
Qin Han pointed at Lin Fan and explained to the Old Sword God, "He is Lin Fan, a powerful expert invited from Yanhai City by headquarters. Don't let his youth fool you; he's very strong, stronger than all of us."
Old Sword God Baiyun stared at Lin Fan with wide eyes, somewhat surprised, then laughed heartily: "A hero emerges from youth! It seems I was blind. I didn't expect such a young expert to appear among us humans. Now I understand why the Evil Lord didn't chase us. Clearly, it was subdued!"
He thought back, recalling how the Evil Lord's armor and weapons were gone.
Looking at the surrounding environment, the scene didn't seem man-made, clearly indicating a fierce battle had taken place.
Thinking about how he had grabbed Lin Fan in the pit and led them out, his old face flushed slightly; it was a bit embarrassing, like showing off one's meager skills before an expert.
He was even more shocked by Lin Fan's youth.
The deception was too strong.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard to believe his strength.
Qin Han said: "Old Sword God, our mission was to rescue you. Now we should hurry back. After all, this is the outskirts, and a gathering place for evil creatures. If something unexpected happens, there could be trouble."
The strength of evil creatures was terrifying.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be so troublesome for countless human experts.
In the past, evil creatures were relatively docile.
The appearance of terrifying evil creatures wasn't frequent. But recently, terrifying evil creatures had become increasingly common.
As if the evil creatures had been purified.
Honestly…
This was not a good situation.
"Alright, let's leave first." Old Sword God Baiyun agreed.
He didn't suggest entering the pit to kill the Evil Lord.
Although he was quite confident.
There were unknown dangers.
And just at this moment.
They noticed Lin Fan looking up at the sky.
"Lin Fan, what's wrong?" Qin Han asked.
Lin Fan said: "I sense danger approaching us."
Their expressions changed drastically.
Danger?
"Could it be an even more terrifying evil creature?"
For Qin Han, Lin Fan's strength was obvious, terrifyingly strong. If even he felt something was dangerous, how terrifying must it be?
To be honest.
In Old Sword God Baiyun's current condition, he couldn't exert much fighting power.
And there were so many injured people at the scene. If they really encountered danger, how could they be protected?
Lin Fan looked at the sky.
They also looked at the sky, but saw nothing. If it were an evil creature, they would have sensed it long ago. Or was it just an illusion caused by tension?
Soon…
They knew it wasn't an illusion, but exactly as Lin Fan had said, danger was approaching, the kind that could be fatal.
"Nuclear… Nuclear bomb."
Li Dacheng recognized the object flying towards them from the distance. It wasn't an evil creature, but a weapon developed by humans, extremely powerful, a weapon that even Heavenly King realm experts couldn't withstand.
In these past decades.
A nuclear bomb had only been used once. The situation at that time was dire, with the evil creature army attacking Xiadu. It was a critical moment for human survival, and in the end, there was no other choice but to use a nuclear bomb, directly bombing the evil creatures.
And the result was unbearable for humanity.
150,000 human deaths, 400,000 injured.
The evil creatures naturally suffered heavy losses, but the radiation after the nuclear explosion was the most terrifying, turning the area into a living hell. A small number of evil creatures mutated due to the radiation, indirectly creating a batch of powerful evil creatures.
Who gained, who lost?
After careful calculation, it seemed humans gained a little.
At least they weren't annihilated by the evil creatures, and it made the evil creatures learn a lesson. Until now, they hadn't assembled an army to attack Xiadu.
"Who? Who launched it? Who are they trying to destroy?" Qin Han roared angrily, his heart completely despairing. At this moment, they could only wait for death; there was nothing else they could do.
For the Evil Lord?
Impossible.
They hadn't detected any energy fluctuations from the Evil Lord. Who would know what level of evil creature was here? And even if they did, it wouldn't be worth destroying with nuclear weapons.
Old Sword God Baiyun said gravely, "There's a traitor among humans. If I'm not mistaken, they are aiming to destroy him."
They looked at Lin Fan.
Even they didn't know Lin Fan's exact strength. Was he worth such destruction?
"Old Sword God, how do you know?" Qin Han asked.
Old Sword God Baiyun said: "Is there anyone else here more worthy of destruction than him?"
Everyone fell silent.
They all felt that the Old Sword God made a lot of sense. It seemed to be the case. Besides him, who else could it be?
But was it really necessary?
Or had the other party seen more disturbing factors, preferring a devastating strike to letting things be?
"No need to run. A high-altitude detonation, no one can escape." Old Sword God Baiyun said.
Old Zhang said: "Lin Fan, I think I see a small metal thingy."
"It's not a metal thingy, it's danger. Old Zhang, I won't let anything happen to you." Lin Fan said.
Then they saw Lin Fan bend his knees, his eyes fixed on the sky with a serious expression.
Bang!
His legs were like springs, the immense recoil force cracking the ground as he soared into the sky, reaching thousands of meters in the blink of an eye.
The loud noise startled Old Sword God and the others, filling them with questions.
They weren't children, but the questions remained.
"What's he doing?" Li Dacheng muttered, looking up.
Qin Han sighed: "Self-sacrifice, swallowing the nuclear bomb to protect us?"
Old Sword God looked at them as if they were fools. Swallow a nuclear bomb? You swallow one and show me. Stuffing it in would be more like it.
High in the sky.
Facing the incoming nuclear bomb, Lin Fan's expression remained unchanged. He only felt danger and didn't know what this thing was. In any case, throwing it far away was the most important thing.
He held the nuclear bomb in his arms. The powerful momentum tried to carry him away. Never one to back down from a strength challenge, he gripped the nuclear bomb with both hands, roared, and hurled it even higher into the sky.
"Get away from me!"
The nuclear bomb was already flying at high speed. With Lin Fan's throw, its speed increased countless times, disappearing into a speck of light in the blink of an eye.
"Finally gone."
Lin Fan couldn't fly, hovering in the air for a moment before plummeting back down at tens of meters per second. The wind felt good, cool against his skin, and he could see further.
Whoosh!
Bang!
He landed.
The ground shook. The soil couldn't withstand the impact, and the splashing dirt pelted Qin Han and the others, making them cry out.
But now, who had time to think about whether the dirt hurt or not?
They were more concerned about how Lin Fan was doing.
The dust settled.
Lin Fan's entire body was buried in the ground, only his head remaining above the surface.
"Old Zhang, where's the metal thingy?" Old Zhang asked.
"I threw it away." Lin Fan replied.
"Where did you throw it?"
"I threw it higher up."
The nuclear bomb flew proudly, as if it was about to leave Earth's atmosphere, becoming the first nuclear bomb to fly into space.
I'm going to detonate.
Boom!
The terrifying explosive power shook the heavens and earth. Qin Han and the others, still on the ground, didn't feel this destructive power. Looking up, they could see a white light, and only heard the sound a long time later.
The speed of light is faster than the speed of sound. Learned something new, haven't you?
Lin Fan smiled: "The crisis is averted. I didn't expect that metal thingy to be so powerful, very dangerous. I wonder who was messing around, really."
Having just walked back from the brink of death, they were speechless at Lin Fan's words.
If this was just messing around, then what wasn't messing around? They couldn't understand, it was hard to comprehend.
Lin Fan climbed out of the ground, bending down to pat the dirt off his clothes.
Now, only Lin Fan and Old Zhang remained calm. As for Qin Han and the others, they were scared half to death.
After they left.
The Evil Lord appeared at the edge of the pit, fists clenched, eyes determined.
"I will remember this grudge."
Such an ungrateful evil creature. If Lin Fan hadn't thrown the nuclear bomb away, forget about revenge, whether its bones would even remain was a question.
But for the Evil Lord.
It didn't know these things.
It could only remember the humiliation of being beaten, not only miserably, but also losing all face. It couldn't even hold its head up in front of other evil creatures.
At the same time, it held a grudge against the Evil Rooster.
Truly a traitor among evil creatures. It had to spread the news of this traitor, letting more evil creatures know about this kind of betrayal. It somewhat regretted crushing the Evil Groundhog. With that guy's gossiping ability, it wouldn't have taken long for it to dig a tunnel and spread the news.
After this incident, Qin Han and the others' attitudes towards Lin Fan changed, adding a new emotion: respect. Strong individuals are worthy of respect, and sycophants exist regardless of age. Adult life isn't easy.
Experts in the special department don't lack money.
So they wouldn't fawn over the rich.
But towards the strong, they expressed a humble attitude from the bottom of their hearts, desperately trying to gain the strong individual's approval, hoping to become good friends with them.
Just in case they encountered a situation like Old Sword God Baiyun's.
At least the strong individual might come to their rescue, considering their past efforts in flattering them.
