Extreme Cold Era: Shelter Don't Keep Waste-Chapter 621 - 585 The Great Bombardment

A heavy thermobaric bomb descended like an arrow from the sky, striking directly onto the rooftop of the Evil God Sect's building, piercing through the roof and plummeting inside.

A muffled explosion followed, and Perfikot on the deck saw through her multi-function goggles white mist spewing from the building's windows and exits.

"Ascend!" Perfikot suddenly realized something and ordered to quickly increase altitude.

The captain did not dare to delay upon hearing Perfikot's command. He hurriedly grabbed the lever on the console for emergency ascent and pulled it hard, making the Flying Airship ascend swiftly in an intense manner. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

This rapid ascent in an emergency caused the Flying Airship to lose balance instantly. Everyone on board hurriedly grabbed onto railings or anything nearby to stabilize themselves to avoid falling.

Even Perfikot herself couldn't stand firmly and had to grab a nearby railing.

But at this moment, she couldn't bother with balancing her body, only using her multi-function goggles to stare intently at the building below, as she wanted to witness firsthand the extent of the damage this thermobaric bomb would cause.

Suddenly, she felt the surroundings go silent, as if someone had pressed a mute button.

Following that, she saw the ground below bulge upward, as if something was blowing up from underneath, and then a blinding light rendered her temporarily blind.

Perfikot hurriedly adjusted her goggles, switching to shading mode, enabling her to finally see the scene below clearly.

The once-standing building was now airborne, disintegrating mid-air. A gigantic fireball devoured several surrounding buildings and gradually rose to form a mushroom cloud.

Then came a powerful blast wave, even though they had urgently ascended, the airship was still buffeted and swayed as if it was a sailboat encountering a storm at sea, making people feel like it could capsize at any moment.

"Crack—" Perfikot heard a crisp sound, turning to see a piece of rubble embedded in the airship's bridge glass, leaving it full of cracks.

Seeing this, before Perfikot could issue another command, the captain shouted loudly, "Keep ascending! Avoid the debris!"

In response to the captain's order, the crew braced against the jolting ship, hurriedly maneuvering the Flying Airship to climb higher.

The captain himself came to Perfikot's side and said loudly to her, "Count! You should take refuge inside the cabin! It's too dangerous here! If any debris hits you, I can't bear the responsibility!"

As the captain spoke, another piece of rubble smashed against the glass with a crisp sound.

Furthermore, more debris battered against the airship, creating dense knocking sounds as if the ship was under attack.

Luckily, these military airships had hulls specially reinforced, originally prepared for potential air battles, and though previously thought unnecessary, they proved quite useful now.

As the airship continued to climb, Perfikot could finally see the impact of the explosion below.

The building at the explosion's center had completely vanished, leaving only a mushroom cloud rising steadily and the fire from the explosion.

The buildings surrounding the explosion center were also almost unrecognizable, having collapsed from the severe impacts they sustained.

Moreover, even the accumulated snow and ice on the streets had been blown away by the explosion, melting into raindrops, and causing white mist to rise around the explosion center, making the ground look like it was boiling.

This was only the effect at the explosion center. Even five hundred meters from the center, tiles were blown away, glass shattered, and buildings damaged could still be seen.

The explosion's power clearly exceeded the design power of the thermobaric bomb. It was, after all, just a heavy thermobaric bomb, not the version Perfikot used to bomb the three capitals.

The damage radius of its explosion should originally be within two hundred meters, but detonating it inside a building undoubtedly amplified its power, extending the damage radius to five hundred meters.

"It seems the power of this heavy thermobaric bomb exceeded my expectation; enclosed spaces can indeed magnify explosive force," Perfikot was evidently surprised by the explosion's power.

She didn't insist on staying outside. Once the hull stabilized somewhat, she retreated into the cabin inside the ship.

These cabins were located within the hull, inherently protected by the hull and the ship structure, and to ensure the cabins' safety, their partitions were specially reinforced, offering enough defense to withstand small-caliber infantry cannons.

In here, Perfikot could be said to be in the safest place on the ship.

But she didn't actually want to stay here; rather than being protected by layers of steel, she preferred standing on the deck, watching firsthand the destructive power of her creations and the blow they would deliver to the Evil God Sect.

While thermobaric bombs are not ideal for destroying solid defenses, the Evil God Sect was not a regular military organization, and their stronghold couldn't be considered fortifications.

Otherwise, that heavy thermobaric bomb wouldn't have crashed through the roof just now.

If the ceiling of any fortress could be penetrated by a bomb, then that fortress wouldn't need to exist.

Perhaps in the feudal ages, the buildings occupied by the Evil God Sect could be called sturdy, but in the industrial era, these structures were no longer as robust as before.

Even what were once unbreakable city walls were now overburdened by increasingly improved cannons, let alone mere sturdier buildings?

Let alone when they took a direct hit from a top-attacking heavy thermobaric bomb.

Yet while the thermobaric bomb's destructive power was astonishing, Perfikot felt no relief; instead, she remained anxious.

Because even when the entire Evil God Sect stronghold was blasted sky high, Perfikot didn't sense traces of divine entities like she did when destroying the Death God Sect, let alone a spectral descent.

This made Perfikot deeply worried about whether the enemy was plotting some sinister scheme.

But even after the explosion's aftermath dissipated and the Flying Airship descended to a lower altitude again, Perfikot still did not sense any traces of divine beings, let alone a divine descent.

"Something's wrong!" Perfikot frowned, not believing the Evil God Sect would surrender so easily; surely, they were brewing some scheme.
