Chapter 591: Chapter 565 Daybreak_3
Gao Yi laughed and said, “I saw a really big fire, along with four smaller ones, but the fire keeps growing, bigger and bigger. It can’t be put out, absolutely can’t be put out. Uh, where are you? Do you need assistance?”
“No need. We’re burning the remaining drones on the vehicle and then withdrawing. We’re not regrouping with you.”
At this mont, Lucy suddenly shouted, “Phone call! Yuri’s calling!”
Gao Yi had been chatting with Xinfeng, and his call couldn’t get through, so soone forwarded the call to Lucy’s phone.
Gao Yi picked up the phone and said, “Hello, it’s .”
Yuri’s voice ca through urgently, “It’s intercepted. We can’t wait any longer— airburst, it can’t detonate on the ground.”
Gao Yi’s heart sank. “What’s going on? Is everything okay? When’s the detonation?”
Yuri scread hoarsely, “Hurry and find nuclear protective shelter! Three!”
“Oh crap…”
“Two!”
“Don’t do it yourself…”
Gao Yi didn’t even know where Mount Fuji was, especially at night.
Right now, Gao Yi was terrified that Yuri might lose control and detonate the nuke himself.
Gao Yi heard Yuri shout.
“One. Detonate!”
Yuri’s tone sounded more like issuing a command, but after he said “One,” nothing happened.
Gao Yi panicked and yelled, “Hey, hey, don’t risk it! You didn’t set it off yourself, did you? Hey, speak up…”
Unable to hold back, Gao Yi cursed, but before he could finish, the sky lit up.
In an instant, the sky brightened— blindingly bright.
The flas that had been extrely conspicuous monts ago instantly disappeared because the brightness contrast was so overwhelming that the flas were drowned out.
The light ca from behind. Gao Yi instinctively wanted to turn around, but Dani shoved his head down.
No sound, no vibrations— only light.
The light lasted for a very short ti. After the extre brightness, everyone’s vision plunged into darkness— unable to see anything.
The piercing brightness had vanished; now, a mushroom cloud appeared, accompanied by a dimd fireball rolling toward the sky.
The fireball soared high, very high up in the heavens.
“Get in the car! Don’t look!”
Dani yelled hysterically.
Sith, standing nearby, shouted the sa, “Eighty kiloters, the shockwave won’t reach us. Shield against nuclear dust!”
They couldn’t see anything but could hear. And then, Lucy’s hand groped around and grabbed Gao Yi’s arm.
Gao Yi reflexively gripped Lucy’s hand in return and shouted, “Don’t be scared! We’re far away— it’s okay…”
The phone call had gone completely silent.
After their eyes adjusted back to the surroundings, they could start to see again.
Not all the lights had gone out, but a lot of them had disappeared. The night sky beca significantly darker, making the blaze from the Divine Toilet even more pronounced.
anwhile, the vehicle’s lights had gone out— even the roof lights had extinguished after the car had stopped.
At that mont, Gao Yi suddenly heard a thunderous explosion, followed by a continuous rumbling.
So this is the sound of a nuclear bomb. Having watched nurous nuclear detonation videos in the past, it was the first ti hearing the actual sound.
There seed to be a long delay between the flash and the sound, possibly tens of seconds. The shockwave generated by the nuclear detonation traveled far faster than typical sound waves. Although it had weakened over the 80 kiloters to beco sound waves harmless to human bodies, it was still faster and louder than ordinary explosions.
The vibrations, which should have arrived before the sound, only reached them afterward. Gao Yi felt the ground beneath him begin subtly trembling.
Fear started bubbling in Gao Yi’s heart. Faced with such an apocalyptic weapon, no one could remain calm.
At this point, Dani also began to feel terrified. In a trembling voice, he said, “Eighty kiloters away— we shouldn’t be feeling earthquake tremors this strong, right?”
Sith said, shaking, “I don’t know. I don’t know. But I rember Mount Fuji is an active volcano— could the nuclear detonation have triggered a volcanic eruption? Or an earthquake?”
Dani took a deep breath and shouted, “Oh, shit— get back in the car, stay in open areas!”
Everyone was yelling, partly out of panic, partly because softer voices couldn’t be heard.
It was chaotic, but after the initial wave of fear passed, an undeniable thrill surged in Gao Yi.
