Gene Unlocking: I Evolve Every Day-Chapter 378 - 333: Withstanding the Nuclear Bomb (Part 1)
An aircraft carrier battle group on the coastline?
About to launch nuclear weapons with megaton yields?
Most crucially, from the looks of it, our ancestors are preparing to take this head-on?
Han Lina silently marveled, these people are truly incredible!
The other wartime correspondents rapidly fleeing the scene were also completely shocked.
Especially experienced war correspondents like Douglas and Lu Guang, they’ve never seen such audacious people.
In fact, at this point, neither Lu Guang, Han Lina, Douglas, nor others knew if there really was an aircraft carrier battle group on the coastline, much less if nuclear weapons would actually be launched later.
They were all in a state of half-belief and half-doubt.
But with the ancestors’ warning, these war correspondents didn’t dare to take risks and evacuated immediately.
Just like these war correspondents, those media bosses were also half-believing and half-doubting.
They couldn’t believe Old Ugly’s consortium had such incredible energy and would be so daredevil.
They even brought over an aircraft carrier battle group and nuclear weapons with megaton yields?
Their state of half-belief didn’t last long.
Because less than fifteen minutes after Lu Guang, Han Lina, and Douglas evacuated, the sky resounded with the rumble of fighter jet engines.
The engines’ roar came closer from the distance.
Initially, when the war correspondents looked up, they could only see small black dots in the distance, unable to discern anything else.
However, in less than a blink, a Super Hornet fighter jet, about twenty meters long, appeared at low altitude.
The war correspondents’ understanding of military weapons was undoubtedly comprehensive.
They could immediately tell this Super Hornet was a typical aircraft carrier-based aircraft!
This meant that it was true that there was an aircraft carrier battle group six hundred kilometers away, as the ancestors had said!
Typically, an aircraft carrier has seventy or eighty fighter jets.
These jets fly extremely fast and are hard to target.
Now, seeing the first Super Hornet appear here, many war correspondents furrowed their brows, pondering how the ancestors would eliminate these Super Hornets while protecting the hundred Morgan Clan members.
Just as this thought emerged, everyone witnessed a shocking scene.
The first Super Hornet, for some reason, suddenly exploded, transforming into a massive fireball in midair that plummeted into the desert.
Then, with a loud boom, the Super Hornet fighter jet was engulfed in flames!
What?
Destroyed a Super Hornet in less than a second?
Han Lina was immediately stunned.
Lu Guang, peering through the window, was also shocked.
Douglas and the remaining war correspondents had nearly identical expressions.
As excellent war correspondents, they knew how superior the Super Hornet’s performance was, yet it couldn’t withstand even a second in front of the ancestors?
The most crucial thing was, they had no idea what kind of "magic" the ancestors used to destroy this Super Hornet!
Man, the ancestors are terrifying.
Douglas’s heart trembled once more, even subtly beginning to feel an anticipation.
If the ancestors could destroy the aircraft carrier’s fighter jets with such ease, could they really confront nuclear missiles in a world-shocking spectacle later?
As everyone was filled with curiosity, a swarm of dark fighter jets appeared on the horizon, bombarding the ancestors and the Morgan Clan members from a distance.
Rumble, rumble.
The massive explosions echoed continuously from the desert behind the journalists.
Everyone tried to keep their eyes wide open, wanting to see the fate of these Super Hornets.
...
At this moment, from the war correspondents’ perspective, the ancestors remained motionless.
Yet on the left side of the low sky, a large group of Super Hornets kept exploding one after another, turning into fireballs and crashing.
One!
Three!
In just a short while, a dozen Super Hornets inexplicably exploded and were completely consumed by flames!
...
Elsewhere, in the desert.
Lu Li activated the Biological Force Field, covering over a hundred Morgan Clan members while using the energy’s omnipresent properties to locate the fuel tanks of the Super Hornets, then used invisible, intangible energy to ignite the fuel inside the tanks.
It’s well known that a fighter jet is an "airborne fuel tank."
Imagine the psychological pressure on pilots sitting atop a tank that could explode at any moment.
In reality, when an aircraft’s fuel tank is breached in battle, it doesn’t cause fires or explosions.
Modern aviation fuel has very low volatility; ordinary flames can’t ignite it.
However, Lu Li’s energy could easily ignite the fuel, creating spectacular explosions.
Therefore, while he seemed to be doing nothing, he was actually launching the fiercest attacks on the seventy or eighty carrier-based aircraft.
The Super Hornets were very fast.
So fast that ordinary defense systems had difficulty countering them.
Unfortunately, this time they faced not a defense system, but Lu Li with the "area omniscience" ability!
...
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Several explosion sounds rang out once more, with another ten or so Super Hornets swallowed by waves of flames.
The carrier-based aircraft had only flown in for a matter of seconds, yet over twenty of them had already been sacrificed!
Such an astonishing record, if seen at any other time, would surely leave jaws dropping in shock.
However, Lu Guang, Han Lina, Douglas, and other war correspondents had already witnessed the more terrifying and powerful tactics of the Ancestors, so they weren’t moved at all by the successive destruction of these Super Hornets.
They only care about one thing now.
Will the carrier strike group really launch a nuclear weapon with a yield of millions of tons?
And are the Ancestors truly prepared to withstand it?
In the brief moment when everyone was deep in thought.
Another series of explosions from the fighter jets rang out.
The thirtieth Super Hornet was destroyed!
The forty-fifth Super Hornet was destroyed!
The sixty-sixth Super Hornet was destroyed!
In a flash.
In less than a minute.
Seventy to eighty Super Hornets all turned into flames.
They all vanished from the war correspondents’ sight!
By now, the war correspondents had fled to a distance of twenty to thirty kilometers away.
Well, they would normally never be this fast, but now everyone knew that a nuclear weapon with a yield of millions of tons might be coming, so they all pushed the sand vehicle’s power to the max, allowing them to escape twenty to thirty kilometers away within ten or twenty minutes.
With the destruction of seventy to eighty Super Hornets, a rare brief silence descended on both the desert floor and the sky.
The sun had already set behind the West Mountain.
Nightfall gradually enshrouded the desolate desert.
As if the desert was about to welcome the calmest moment of the day.
But at this moment, the rapidly escaping war correspondents Lu Guang, Han Lina, and Douglas all felt incredibly stifled.
Because they sensed that the current silence was like the calm before the storm.
The oppressive atmosphere made Lu Guang, Han Lina, and Douglas feel a bit suffocated.
Despite this, they continued to flee frantically, fearing to waste the hard-won gap.
Finally, after another ten minutes or so.
These war correspondents had fled to a distance of forty to fifty kilometers away.
Lu Guang, Han Lina, Douglas, and others disregarded taking a moment’s rest, urging their team members to set up the filming equipment aimed at the location of the Ancestors and the Morgan Clan members.
Then, they took a deep breath, put on anti-glare sunglasses, and took out earplugs to block their ears.
As soon as there was any movement, they would close their eyes and hold their heads to dodge.
Time ticked away second by second.
Before long, five minutes flashed by.
Han Lina looked at the sky, musing to herself, "Hasn’t the nuclear bomb arrived yet?"
On the other side, Lu Guang was also puzzled, "The Super Hornets were all destroyed ten to twenty minutes ago. If the carrier strike group really intended to launch a high-yield nuclear bomb, it should have arrived by now, right?"
Although Douglas wasn’t talking to himself like Han Lina and Lu Guang, his gaze at the sky was filled with confusion and puzzlement.
Or rather, every war correspondent on site was baffled.
Calculating the time, the nuclear bomb should have arrived.
Yet it hasn’t appeared now.
Could it be the Ancestors misjudged?
For some reason, when everyone thought that the Ancestors might have misjudged, a faint sense of disappointment arose deep within them.
They really wanted to know if the Ancestors truly had the ability to withstand a nuclear bomb.
As for the hundreds of Morgan Clan members, they had already been completely ignored by these war correspondents.
In their view, as long as the Ancestors could withstand the nuclear bomb explosion, it would already be the most shocking thing in the world.
Who would still hope that the Ancestors protect the lives of hundreds of Morgan Clan members like they did just now?
In short, as long as the Ancestors could directly withstand the nuclear bomb, regardless of when the Morgan Clan members died, Lu Guang, Han Lina, Douglas, and other war correspondents would all feel that the Ancestors had already won this sensational battle.
Or rather, the entire world would think so.
No one would demand that the Ancestors must protect the lives of the Morgan Clan members, insisting they must wait until midnight to kill.
While everyone’s thoughts were racing.
Suddenly!
It seemed as if something enormous was happening in the sky.
No one heard any sound at all.
They just felt an inexplicable pressure layering down.
Everyone hurriedly looked towards the southern sky, gasping one by one!
At that moment, everyone saw a fierce flash of light shining from the southern horizon.
It goes without saying that a nuclear attack must be coming!
Lu Guang, Han Lina, Douglas, and others didn’t bother observing, quickly hugging their heads and crouching on the ground, trying to avoid the damage from the nuclear explosion’s strong light and massive thunderous sound.
Clearly, the moment the nuclear attack hit was the most dangerous moment on earth.
Yet for some reason, as soon as Lu Guang, Han Lina, Douglas, and others crouched down and huddled, they couldn’t resist feeling a surge of excitement inside.
They were somewhat excitedly anticipating.
Anticipating that the Ancestors could withstand the power of the nuclear bomb head-on!
Can they... really endure it?
None of Lu Guang, Han Lina, or Douglas knew the outcome.
But one thing they could be sure of was that in just a few seconds, they would know the result!
