Chapter 1630: Chapter 867: The Empire’s Bad News (Part 3)

"The Key of Gate has a miraculous ability; it can take you to the place you most desire in your heart. But its most crucial function now is to instantly help everyone evacuate."

"When we presume... remember, it’s just a hypothesis, that Duke of Storm City wants to use the Key of Gate to escape, we can further speculate: Duke of Storm City is on the impregnable Storm Fortress, and he himself is a Demigod, facing no real danger. Moreover, it’s clear that he confidently set out to rebel—why would he prepare a flawless escape method in advance and keep it secret? Whatever he’s planning, the outcome is certainly unfavorable for the giants."

"At this point, Brother Qing Chen no longer needs to know what means Duke of Storm City plans to use against the giants; he simply wants to leave the giants with the same retreat. So he has Uncle Qing Ji hasten over at full speed, leaving you all along the way. Uncle Qing Ji opens the Door of Shadow and retrieves the Key of Gate that we’ve long prepared, so you can crawl through one by one, directly transported to the Taboo Forest outside Outpost Base No. 5. With this layer of insurance from the Key of Gate, no matter what danger lies ahead, it at least offers a way out."

"Brother Qing Chen didn’t expect the other side to throw a nuclear bomb; he wasn’t even sure what they were doing, only sensing they likely prepared a disaster for the giants, a disaster that would come swiftly, which is why Duke of Storm City needed an instant evacuation method."

Can Qing Chen really be completely infallible? Certainly not.

So in his speculations, there might be a nuclear bomb thrown down, or the giants might be deceived into a trap, or the giants might be hunted down.

He can only speculate the results through Duke of Storm City’s intentions, but doesn’t know the process.

Thus, since the giants are to charge forward, putting this insurance on them can’t be wrong.

All along, he’s been the one aiming to prepare to perfection, never changing.

Just like when the countdown first appeared on his arm, he even prayed to Buddha to make preparations.

Of course, he can also later make himself appear infallible, let the giants worship him, and mythologize him.

What he did is indeed enough to elevate him to godhood among the giants.

But Qing Chen feels it’s unnecessary; he certainly isn’t infallible, just made extra preparations.

Giant Prophet listened to Li Tongyun’s recap and softly sighed: "That great friend, although lacking the ability to foresee the future, still created miracles we couldn’t, candidly admitting he didn’t predict everything... That’s perhaps his true charm."

Beside her, Black Spider silently listened to Li Tongyun’s recap, experiencing Qing Chen’s wonders firsthand for the first time.

Well, now that she provided crucial information, presumably the giants wouldn’t kill her, right? She’s a hero now...

Black Spider pondered: Should she follow the giants or Qing Chen in the future?

Seems like a fine choice either way.

The giants looked at the King of Giants, waiting for his decision on what to do next.

Li Tongyun said, "Brother Qing Chen said if this really is a conspiracy, then the Giant Race should remain tactful, as the Roosevelt Kingdom remains strong and unscathed."

Prophet chuckled and said, "Why don’t you all join us as guests at the Giant King Court, there are fruits you’ve never seen before."

Li Tongyun nodded, "Just as the War Academy on Whale Island needs to replenish with new varieties!"

...

"Ship Eleven" levitates 290 kilometers from the nuclear explosion’s epicenter, where pulse and radiation are relatively weaker, unable to affect the anti-EMP coating of an airship.

When the Eternal Spear was about to strike, Lao Shiyi closed the airship’s glass, hovering in midair.

Then, he activated the holographic projection, real-time casting satellite imagery.

Lao Shiyi summoned everyone: "Come, come, a rare spectacle—missing it is regrettable."

After 10 seconds, the Eternal Spear swiftly dropped to the ground.

Boom.

A gigantic mushroom cloud vaporized to the sky, spectacular and magnificent.

Lao Shiyi pulled in a female soldier and said, "Did you know humans nearly destroyed themselves because of this? That war between the West Continent and Eastern Continent was earth-shattering, unprecedented, plunging the entire Earth into a prolonged nuclear winter. Dust filled the atmosphere, sunlight couldn’t reach the ground; some places dropped to -150°C at night, freezing 6.8 billion people to death in three days, with survivors scraping by."

The female soldier snuggled into his embrace: "Ah, so frightening."

Qing Chen raised an eyebrow; this was truly an eager offer and an eager acceptance.

Just hearing this depiction, what’s frightening is the hunger and cold after the nuclear winter, the helplessness and despair of everyone huddling underground for warmth.

Qing Chen knew, the Eastern Continent once had an organization called ’The Mob’, dedicated to destroying all nuclear weapons around the world to prevent humanity from facing the same crisis again.

Unfortunately, the Mob organization already vanished like smoke.

At this moment, the female soldier looked up at Lao Shiyi: "Will the current nuclear explosion trigger another nuclear winter?"

"No."

"Why?"

After serious contemplation, Lao Shiyi replied, "It’s like... when flying an aircraft, you can’t do it just once a minute. Dropping one nuclear bomb a year won’t trigger a nuclear winter."

Qing Chen: "..."

He Jinqiu: "..."

Bolton: "Crude, greasy."

Watching the holographic projection, it was now Qing Chen realized the exact plans of Duke of Storm City.

Such a cruel scheme!

Luckily, he left a way out for the Giant Race, otherwise the Roosevelt Kingdom would no longer have any hindering force to counter them in the West Continent.

But a question arises: how did the Black Knight Corps anticipate the nuclear bomb’s descent and position themselves at just the right distance?

The Black Knight Corps of Silver City isn’t as simple as they seem, not merely indulging in pleasure.
