The entire Hedong City was in a state of panic.
More and more people surged onto the streets, staring blankly at the sky.
A large number of military officers began to maintain order, holding loud tin megaphones, shouting for citizens to orderly enter the air raid shelters.
Since humans discovered the other world twenty years ago, a large number of air raid shelters have been built. In cities like Hedong, there is an air raid shelter almost every few kilometers. Even every newly built community requires developers, according to national regulations, to construct a certain area of underground civil defense engineering.
These air raid shelters are primarily not for defending against invasions from the other world, but to guard against bombs being thrown from overhead by armies.
Of course, there are plenty of Safe Zones too.
Chen Shouyi also did not dare to be reckless. Given the unclear situation now, who knows if a nuclear bomb might be dropped on the Safe Zone the next moment.
No need to worry about his parents and sister.
They should have entered an air raid shelter as well.
Chen Shouyi followed the crowd and walked into a nearby air raid shelter.
Inside, it was bustling, some were speaking loudly to vent their inner fears, and some were leaning against the wall, squatting on the ground, silently dazed.
The air was filled with a mood of oppression, uneasiness, and anxiety.
A baby wailed loudly in the arms of a young lady, but the young lady looked lost and did not react at all.
"Your child is hungry!" Chen Shouyi reminded.
"Oh! Oh!" The young lady snapped back to reality, subconsciously lifted her clothes and began to breastfeed.
The sight of that swelling whiteness made Chen Shouyi's face slightly red, and he quickly turned his gaze away.
...
Chen Shouyi stayed in the air raid shelter for over an hour. Seeing no more nuclear explosions, he began to leave along with the others.
Upon returning home, Chen Shouyi found his parents were already back.
"Why are they dropping nuclear bombs for no reason, Shou Yi? We're not going to be affected by radiation here, are we?" Mrs. Chen said with some panic.
"Don't worry, it should be fine. The nuclear bomb's distance is still far from here! But don't leave home for the next few days, let's see how things unfold first!" Chen Shouyi thought and spoke calmly. Besides this time, he had already witnessed nuclear explosions twice, even close enough to approach the nuclear crater. He was no longer as panicked as ordinary people.
The nuclear bomb exploded roughly tens of kilometers away, a distance already far exceeding the effective killing range.
"I kept saying it's fine, this far away, how could it be a problem, always worrying needlessly," Chen Dawei said.
"What needless worry, didn't you hear clearly? Shou Yi said, don't go out, let's see how things unfold first!"
Seeing the two elders starting to bicker again.
Chen Shouyi went out again to find Bai Xiaoling.
"What happened with this nuclear explosion?" Chen Shouyi asked as soon as they met.
"I don't know either, there was no notification at all, but I think it might be a problem on Pingzhou's side," Bai Xiaoling said.
"A few Barbarians?"
"Maybe it's not Barbarians?"
"Barbarian God!" Chen Shouyi's heart skipped a beat, and he understood instantly.
Pingzhou City is very close to Hedong, the Barbarian God invasion incident not long ago is still fresh in memory. The memory is vivid, the entire Hedong City panicked, and a huge number of people fled. Now the city is sparsely populated, turned into a ghost town, the impact of that time still lingers.
The authorities are clearly worried that once the truth is revealed, many people might flee again.
...
Chen Shouyi returned to the bedroom and closed the door.
Shell Lady emerged from beneath the pillow and said, "Good Giant, you're finally back!"
"Mm!" Chen Shouyi sat down at the edge of the bed and responded.
"There was just thunder!"
"I heard it!"
Chen Shouyi replied perfunctorily and then silently got lost in thought.
There was the shock of the nuclear bomb and the worry over the newly appearing Barbarian God. No matter how confident he was, he dared not face the real Barbarian God. It was a pity communications were poor, all messages were not timely.
"Forget it, thinking too much is useless, let's see what happens tomorrow!"
Chen Shouyi sighed, walked into the bathroom, and prepared to wash his face. Suddenly, he saw the stopper of the test tube had been removed, and he wondered in his heart, clearly remembering he had sealed it tightly.
He picked up the test tube and walked out of the bathroom: "Little One, did you open it?"
Shell Lady, who was organizing her clothes, looked up at his words, turned her back to him, and ignored him.
Seeing this, Chen Shouyi felt a pang of irritation in his heart, this was evidently guilty behavior!
He repeated his question.
Shell Lady finally spoke, saying with grievance: "You secretly eat yummy things while I'm asleep!"
As she spoke, she felt increasingly wronged, her mouth cupped, and tears finally started to flow uncontrollably:
"Wah wah wah... And to think I covered you with a blanket!"
Chen Shouyi opened his mouth, looked at the test tube in his hand, and then at the aggrieved Shell Lady, unable to find words.
Could it be my fault!
...
A village had already turned into ruins, mixed inside were sporadic bodies, a few fallen trees were burning fiercely.
All around was dead silence!
Only the sound of the wind could be heard coming from a distance.
A short-haired young man looked indifferently at all this without a trace of emotional fluctuation on his face.
After a long time, he stepped over a twisted corpse and quickly walked forward.
The rice seedlings in the field had been uprooted and were floating on the water, with scorch marks on them.
The whole land was in ruins, everything above ground, whether buildings or trees, had been leveled, many places were burning with flames.
After several minutes, he stood on a bare small hill.
Life had completely vanished here, with large amounts of radioactive ash falling like goose feather snow from the sky. It hadn't been long before he had become a "snowman".
Not far away, within a giant pit six to seven hundred meters in diameter, scorching and viscous lava was boiling violently, with waves of hot air blowing intermittently.
He watched for a long time but didn't see what he wanted to see.
"What an idiot!" he whispered, a flash of fear in his eyes.
Undoubtedly, he was the God of Hunting in the Saint descension state.
He had never left Pingzhou City. Once the nuclear bomb was detonated, he came here promptly.
He originally intended for the God of Fury to divert human attention, but didn't expect that idiot to die so easily.
This time, humanity's attack was far more powerful than what he encountered last time. He dared not confidently say his true form could evade attacks like before, making him all the more certain he couldn't let his true form descend.
This world is far more dangerous than the Tamu world.
Assuming personal risk on the battlefield, one misstep may lead to death, requiring cautious planning.
"However, there is some gain!" he muttered to himself, "At least, effortlessly acquired another land of faith."
With the God of Fury dead, His earthly realm became ownerless as well.
"Buzz..."
He looked up at the sky, a helicopter was flying in from the horizon.
He sneered, stepped down quickly from the small hill, and soon disappeared into the distance.
