Dawn of a New Era

Chapter 234: Nuclear Explosion (4K)_2


She obviously didn't hear the sound of artillery, after all, the battlefield is at least thirty to forty kilometers away from here in a straight line, an ordinary person could not possibly hear the sound of guns from such a remote distance.

"No, we are leaving today, notify Auntie that we are leaving immediately," Chen Shouyi said seriously.

This kind of war with the gods is no joke. Given the high mobility of the gods, if the war becomes unfavorable, Ningzhou could be affected at any time.

"Shou Yi, what's wrong?" Chen Yuwei asked anxiously, sensing something amiss.

In the corridor, a young couple walked toward them, chatting and laughing.

"You guys prepare first, pack up, we'll talk on the road!" Chen Shouyi glanced over and retracted his gaze, saying.

He quickly went into the room, put on a coat, ate breakfast, and closed the door: "I'm going outside for a while."

Chen Yuwei stood for a while, with a changing face, and promptly walked briskly to the next room.

Chen Shouyi walked out of the hotel, looked up at the gloomy sky in the distance, asked a passerby for directions, and quickly headed to a nearby bike shop.

Within a few minutes, he reached his destination.

The bike shop was quite lively, crowded with people.

After the mutation, bicycles became the most important means of transportation, and despite the high cost, they couldn't resist the reality of demand.

Originally, Chen Shouyi intended to buy three bicycles, but was instantly drawn to the tricycles when he saw them.

Ten minutes later, Chen Shouyi, whose wallet shrank once again, was riding a tricycle with a serious expression, controlling the handlebars with stiff hands, moving crookedly forward.

Initially, he thought tricycles were like bicycles, and even more balanced due to three wheels, should be simpler to maneuver, but once he got going, he realized it was a completely different thing.

The tricycle was not only bulkier than a bicycle, but the handlebars seemed impossible to straighten, slightly careless, and it veered to one side.

Fortunately, he wasn't an ordinary person, with meticulous control of his whole body's strength, after a few adjustments, he gradually tamed the unruly tricycle.

When passing a repair shop, he got off, specially bought five sets of matching chains, to avoid breaking down like last time.

Ten minutes.

Luggage packed, Chen Shouyi and his aunt stepped out of the hotel.

"Aunt, wait here, I'll get the vehicle," Chen Shouyi called to them.

He went to a brand-new tricycle parked outside the hotel, unlocked it, pushed it in front of them, patting the sidecar: "Aunt, Sis, hop in."

"Shou Yi, are you taking us to Hedong with a tricycle?" Aunt opened her mouth, asked in surprise.

Beside her, Chen Yuwei was also shocked, this was too exaggerated, even by car it would take four or five hours to get from here to Hedong, and most of the journey would be on the highway, yet the tricycle is slower than a bicycle.

"Well, for safety reasons, we can only make do for now," Chen Shouyi said.

"It's not... I don't mean that, just it's so far..." Aunt said.

Chen Shouyi looked at the time: "Actually Hedong isn't that far, if we depart now, we should arrive tonight!"

As he spoke, a pedestrian on the distant street suddenly shouted: "Look at the clouds over there!"

Chen Shouyi was taken aback slightly, hurriedly looking up at the sky.

Today's weather was gloomy, full of dark clouds, yet at this moment, one area of cloud was slowly dispersing, breaking open a large hole, as if a powerful force was dispersing all of it.

The next moment, a red-black mushroom cloud slowly ascended from the horizon, with colorful ribbon-like white clouds swirling around it.

The street suddenly fell silent, all pedestrians stopped in their tracks, as if petrified, quietly watching the distant sky.

It's a nuclear bomb!

The scene of a nuclear bomb, everyone has seen it more or less in movies or online videos.

But witnessing it firsthand is rare.

This destructive power, shocking and terrifying.

It's not just one mushroom cloud, soon a second one slowly rose, followed by a third a few seconds later, notably the third mushroom cloud was several times larger than the previous two.

This third nuclear bomb has a greater yield.

Chen Shouyi noted that these three nuclear bomb's mushroom clouds were not clustered together, but spaced at a certain distance, apparently the first two smaller yield nuclear bombs didn't kill the God of Hunting, hence fired the third larger yield bomb.

Afterwards, no new mushroom clouds appeared for a long time.

"Hopefully, the God of Hunting is really dead!" Chen Shouyi couldn't help but silently pray.

Time ticked by, about two minutes after, the sound of the nuclear explosion faintly arrived, like a series of low rumbling thunder, based on the speed of sound, Chen Shouyi estimated the distance to the nuclear explosion site was roughly thirty kilometers away.

By now, the crowd slowly came back from the shock.

"Oh my god, they really used atomic bombs."

"Maybe it's a hydrogen bomb!"

"Will we have radiation over here?"

"Probably not, since it's so far away?"

"Who can say for sure!"

The crowd was discussing, fearful and uneasy.

Only a few clueless kids, excitedly shouting, ran around.

Soon, more and more military and police appeared on the streets, starting to maintain order. The power of nuclear weapons not only lies in destruction but also in the panic of people's hearts, without a strong maintenance of order, the whole Ningzhou could instantly turn chaotic.

"Get on the vehicle, we're leaving!" Chen Shouyi snapped back to reality, immediately said, a vague feeling of unease arose in his heart, he suspected that the God of Hunting was not dead at all.

Maybe he was overthinking it, but as long as there's a one in ten thousand chance, he wouldn't take the risk.

The Barbarian God's strength, he couldn't possibly contend with, even the injured and weakened God of Courage he couldn't deal with until now, let alone this even stronger God of Hunting.

Qin Shufen and Chen Yuwei were already at a loss, immediately climbed into the tricycle upon hearing.

Once both of them settled down, Chen Shouyi stepped on the pedal, and the tricycle swiftly drove onto the street.

He rode faster and faster, the pedals were like spinning wheels of fire, overtaking steam trucks one by one, the scenery on both sides quickly receding, the two clung desperately to the tricycle's handrails, afraid of being flung out if they weren't careful.

An hour later, the tricycle gradually drove out of the urban area, then Chen Shouyi suddenly sensed something, instinctively, he turned to look back at the sky.

In the distance, a blurred human figure emitting faint golden light, quietly floating in mid-air, auroras swirling around, dancing enchantingly.

With just one glance, Chen Shouyi's mind trembled, faintly seeming to see a majestic and grand figure with a bird's head and human body, reflected in his soul.

The God of Hunting!

He immediately turned around, dared not look again, pedaled fiercely, heart a tangled mess.

"The war really failed!"

Although he had already suspected in his heart, truly seeing the terrifying figure was still somewhat beyond belief.

"Could it be even nuclear bombs have no effect?"

But such thought was immediately dismissed upon turning.

"No, maybe it's the military being too cautious this time, after all, used on the battlefield, surrounded everywhere by soldiers, nearby are cities, the nuclear bomb yield was obviously not large, except the third one slightly larger, the first two estimates are just several kiloton-level nuclear bombs.

For a Barbarian God with keen danger instincts, it is entirely possible to dodge beforehand at high mobility, at one-fold or even several times sonic speed, escaping this level of nuclear attack range in the blink of an eye.

Don't know if those three nuclear-powered strategic airships managed to escape?

As a nuclear arsenal, there must be quite a few nuclear bombs left inside, if caught by the God of Hunting or its Church, it would be a threat to Jiangnan and even the whole Great Xia Country."

Thinking of this, Chen Shouyi's heart felt as though pressed by a boulder, a bit suffocated.

"Shou Yi, what is that?" Chen Yuwei apparently also noticed the small golden dot, asked with unease.

"It's the God of Hunting!" Chen Shouyi said solemnly.

The atmosphere instantly fell silent, into quietness, only left with the sound of heavy breathing.

Soon, the tricycle entered the highway.
