Chapter 1652: Chapter 876: Shrouded by Radiance (Part 3)

Qing Chen shook his head: "I need to correct something."

"Firstly, Boss He did not betray me. Although he has taken some crooked paths and used unscrupulous means, deep down, he is still the Republic soldier who, during flood relief, shouldered sandbags and charged onto the river bank to build a human wall for the city behind. He has his conscience and his limits. I used to worry like you, but later I found my worries were unnecessary."

Qing Chen continued: "Secondly, I made a mistake in this matter. When Bolton called you, Lao Shiyi’s keen hearing caught it, and then the Black Knights intercepted the medicine that could save He Jinqiu’s life. They began to secretly communicate with He Jinqiu, indicating that if he didn’t follow their orders, they would destroy the medicine. Boss He’s meaning at the time was that he’d rather die with Lao Shiyi than let the Black Knights see the spirit of our Eastern Continent. We were on the same airship as Lao Shiyi, and killing him would have been easy."

"However, I proposed a new plan to Boss He," Qing Chen said, "I thought, since the medicine is with the Black Knights, let him actively betray me to gain the opportunity to exchange for it. In the middle, we killed so many people, destroyed so many war robots, and now we’ve helped Boss He obtain the medicine, why not?"

Viola shook her head: "But in doing so, you will be very dangerous. I don’t understand why you want to do this."

Qing Chen smiled and said: "Because I promised him beforehand that I would definitely help him obtain this medicine."

Although Knights are sometimes deceitful and often criticized, their promises are always invaluable.

Even the Grand Elder of Fire Pit, who always spoke disapprovingly, never denied this fact.

Therefore, since Qing Chen promised, even if he had to walk through a sea of fire and knives, he would accomplish it.

Viola looked at Qing Chen seriously: "I didn’t expect you’d risk your life for a promise. I need to reassess my understanding of you and hope our cooperation goes well. By the way, why does He Jinqiu need this medicine? Is it just to save his life, even at the risk of turning into a monster?"

"It’s confidential, just hope everything goes well over there," Qing Chen said as he walked into the elevator.

Viola was stunned: "Why are you going back into the elevator again?"

Qing Chen replied with a smile: "Because I found something interesting. Remember, solve my legal status as soon as possible."

However, at this moment, 120 kilometers away at the Empire’s TOP military base, a sudden burst of flames appeared.

In the next instant, an extraordinarily bright light burst forth, enveloping Qing Chen and the others.

Illuminating the dawn sky, piercing through clouds on this rainy night!

Long after, the thunderous sound slowly arrived!

Qing Chen and Viola avoided the time when the light was the most intense, then looked at each other in astonishment.

They saw a small mushroom cloud slowly rising from the horizon, ascending into the sky!

Massive sandstorm was blowing, messing up Qing Chen and Viola’s hair.

"This is..." Viola murmured.

Qing Chen was also stunned; this wasn’t in his plan, he hadn’t expected to experience two nuclear explosions within a week.

According to the plan, Viola was supposed to notify the Daytime Members in the Superconductor World, and then find a way to attack here before the military base’s defenses could recover.

However, everything happened faster than imagined!

Viola looked at Qing Chen: "Your people! Bolton went to the Superconductor World to inform your people, they stormed the military base but didn’t find you, and in anger, they detonated it!"

Qing Chen: "Ah, this!"

Seems like there’s no other explanation!

But the problem is, after the Daytime Members set the nuclear bomb to explode at a specific time, they ran away using the Key of Gate.

But he was still in the radiation zone!

In just a few seconds, Qing Chen felt itching in his throat, slight burning sensations on his skin, and difficulty keeping his eyes open; once opened, tears involuntarily flowed.

Unbelievable.

Qing Chen had always pondered what it meant to be "engulfed by light," but he didn’t expect it to be engulfed by his own people’s light!

A bit of a trap!

Thinking of this, Qing Chen whispered a few instructions to Viola, then hurried back to the secluded elevator to hide from the radiation.

Seeing him so decisive, Viola also grumbled and hurried back to her own floating airship, relying on the pulse-resistant coating to barely evade the strongest wave of radiation following the nuclear explosion.

The enormous sandstorm blew in, reducing the world’s visibility dramatically, akin to experiencing a vast dust storm, erasing the traces of prior battles.
