Armor-Piercing Munition: Face Me, Carbon-Based Monster! Chapter 84: Ancestors’ Blessing

A 20,000-ton tactical nuclear bomb, with a blast radius of about 600 ters, a radiation radius of less than 1 kiloter, and an early nuclear fallout radius of 1.5 kiloters, has a comprehensive killing radius on humans of only up to 2 kiloters.

For field armies, such killing effects are not as substantial as a round of bombardnt from an artillery formation. During the Cold War, even the Soviet army required its field troops to possess the quality of charging forward under a nuclear explosion.

Because this thing is indeed quite useless, only in attacks on cities can it exert its maximum destructive effect.

----However, there is always a "however" to everything.

The nuclear bomb detonated by Lei Jie had an extraordinarily high delivery precision.

Although it was not an airburst, the explosion point was right in the middle of the chanical God Sect fleet.

In an instant, the intense heat almost incinerated all the wooden structure vessels on the river, and turned to ashes were also the four hundred Holy Temple Guard soldiers ready to advance there.

Their armor beca a burden; the high temperature lted the tal, turning it into molten iron that tightly enveloped their muscles and bones.

After an exceedingly brief mont of splendor, the vaporized molten iron was carried away by the shockwave, dissipating into the air over an area of nearly 5 square kiloters.

This was true annihilation of bones and bodies, but it was not the most painful and tragic way to die.

ters from the center of the explosion, the shockwave was no longer strong enough to cause instantaneous death.

The Church Protection Army from Han Shui City was knocked to the ground, and when they struggled to get up, they shockingly found their bodies were lting.

The last images retained in their retinas witnessed their grueso state before death, followed by their souls disappearing from the world with the intense light radiation.

Further away, when the light radiation was greatly weakened by the turbid air and nurous obstacles, the imnse power it carried still ignited the clothes of most of the Church Protection Army, and their swollen skin peeled off layer by layer.

They too had no chance to survive.

----Perhaps in the era of Chen Jianlai, they could barely hang on to life with modern dicine, but here, their survival ti is calculated in minutes.

Extending to 1 kiloter away, the power of the light radiation was reduced to its limit.

But the various intense radiations from the explosion had already penetrated the enemies’ bodies, shattering the DNA of the surface skin.

It won’t be long before they die slowly in pain.

Yet at this mont, they hadn’t realized their fate.

The enemy in the Yuqing State direction was already annihilated.

In fact, after this round of blinding sun rose, the scene resembling a miracle had already shattered all the enemies’ will.

.Côm-cσ๓

The chanical God Sect forces in the Xianning direction were also fleeing for their lives, when the terrifying heatwaves swept in, when the fierce winds ignited the dry woods, carrying the irresistible power to engulf them, all faith no longer had aning.

Flee for life.

Just flee for life.

In their eyes, this was no longer a battle between n, but Divine Punishnt on sinners.

But why would Divine Punishnt fall on their brothers?

Those heretics...

Are they the true emissaries of the gods?

A terrifying thought spread like a plague among their ranks.

Will the next Divine Punishnt strike us?

This question had no answer, nor did it need an answer anymore.

Just run for your life!

The enemy from Xianning collapsed at a speed that seed only natural, not caring to wait for allied forces or to gather their heavy equipnt, but frantically sprinting towards Xianning as if throwing everything away....

...

And in Yellow Stone City, many also witnessed this cataclysmic scene.

They did indeed follow Chen Jian’s command, lying low on the ground, burying their heads in their chests.

But when they found the sky suddenly lighting up in a bizarre way, they couldn’t help but raise their heads.

At that mont, a great mushroom cloud glowing bright yellow was rising in the distance, at the enemy’s location!

The hurricane swept in, people stumbling to the ground.

Standing beside Chen Jian, Huang Yu gazed in fascination at the distance. At that mont, a sudden epiphany struck him, understanding what Chen Jian had told him.

The sun is about to rise.

Indeed.

The sun has risen, but it’s the "ancestors’" sun!

He opened his mouth, wanting to say sothing but couldn’t utter a word.

And after the impact of the blazing sun finally dissipated, his voice, long strained to the point of being hoarse, managed to squeeze out a few words:

"Is this... the sun... is this really....a miracle?"

Chen Jian shook his head and replied:

"Your ancestor told you to believe in the ancestors, not in religions."

"And of course, don’t believe in gods either."

"This is certainly the sun, but it’s the ancestors’ sun."

"The ancestors’ sun...."

Huang Yu silently repeated these words, unable to comprehend in his thought process, worn out and even transford by this apocalyptic era, how such a thing ca to be.

The enemies were evidently wiped out, and the entire process took just a few seconds.

"Our ancestors... possessed such astonishing power..."

Huang Yu kneeled to the ground in the ritual of worshipping ancestors, gazing reverently at the slowly dissipating mushroom cloud, and said:

"You must be saints like them...."

"Creating the ’sun’ has never been the work of a saint."

Chen Jian let out a long breath, then said:

"So among them were indeed brilliant geniuses, leading the way forward."

"But most were ordinary people like you and ."

"When the sun you saw first shone on this land, tens of thousands had already dedicated most of their lives to it."

"In a way, their lives were even harder than yours."

"Lacking water, lacking food, deserts, desolation, loneliness...."

"Even many had just returned triumphantly from the battlefield, with the blood of enemies on their bodies still wet."

"They tackled an almost impossible task."

"Like planting an apple tree in the desert, or riding a bicycle to the moon."

"But in the end, they succeeded."

"And 400 years later, the legacy they left still shelters us."

"The sun was raised by them, not us."

After Chen Jian finished speaking, Huang Yu nodded half-understandingly.

He couldn’t grasp the stories Chen Jian spoke of, but he understood one thing.

Triumphant warriors could still achieve new feats.

If they could do it....why can’t we?

To live up to the ancestors!

Huang Yu’s eyes fird with resolve.

He looked at Chen Jian and asked:

"Commander, the battle isn’t over yet."

"I believe I can lead our people to completely clear out those enemies..."

"You may."

Chen Jian gently clenched his fist, then quickly ordered:

"Hear my command!"

"Shen Yue, take Huang Yu and an additional 30 combat personnel to pursue the escaping enemy towards Xianning in the southwest."

"He Shuo, Li Shi, and the other combat personnel, co with to Yuqing State."

"The radiation from the 20,000-ton atomic bomb will drop to safe levels within half an hour."

"There are still so scattered enemies on the outskirts."

"Let’s send them on their way!"
