Nuclear bomb.
This is an almost taboo term.
At the beginning of the end of the world, all kinds of electronic equipment were melted down, and the stored nuclear bombs were turned into iron cans.
But as time goes by, high-tech products are gradually repaired by various experts, and occasionally there are examples of the use of nuclear bombs, the ultimate weapon.
Gu Fan once used a nuclear bomb to kill the newly born [Abyss Devourer] master, and then gained invincible power at the level of divine gold, as well as an even weirder and more powerful [devouring] power.
Southern War Zone.
The paranoid sect of the Unbelievers also has such technology in their hands.
"A year or so from the end of the world."
"A branch of the unbelievers sect has emerged. They believe in science paranoidly and have made many contributions."
"In order to regain the area where humans live, nuclear bombs were dropped into an abyss crack, destroying the entire abyss crack..."
Hongdou explained that the City of Mechanical Steel was a branch of the Unbeliever sect, which madly believed in science and developed various machines and war weapons.
The abyssal fissures are taboo to humans.
But throwing a nuclear bomb into the cracks of the abyss can kill all those hateful carrion mutants once and for all.
The old musket took a puff of his cigar and said matter-of-factly: "Things shouldn't end so easily, right??"
Of course.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many accidents.
Hongdou nodded and continued: "At the beginning, the cracks in the abyss were completely silent, with no living creatures surviving, and there was super radiation deep in the ground that was enough to kill any living thing."
"But a month later, a small number of alien species crawled out of the ground."
"Their flesh and blood has been corroded by nuclear radiation and is extremely fragile. Ordinary weapons can deal with it, but... I don't know why, but as time goes by, they become stronger and stronger and become resistant to radiation."
"The Faithless Sect can only send troops to suppress the areas around the cracks and kill all the alien species that appear."
"As for what happened next, I'm not sure."
Gu Fan on one side sneered.
In the apocalypse, the reason why nuclear bombs are called taboo weapons is because their side effects are so great.
Unless absolutely necessary, nuclear bombs must not be used lightly. Radiation energy can cause the genes of organisms to mutate, which may make them fragile and fragile, just like the alien species that crawled out in the first place.
But there is another possibility.
Super mutation! !
Once the alien species adapts to the corrosion of nuclear radiation, the genes in the body will undergo super mutations with the support of nuclear energy, and they will become stronger than before.
"The Adeptus Mechanicus is so stupid."
Gu Fan said to himself, and Hong Dou suddenly remembered something after hearing this: "Yes, the Mechanicus, that's the name, a branch of the Faithless Sect, they seem to have used this name recently!!"
Mechanicum.
Gu Fan, who had experienced the previous life, knew very well that they were originally a group of unbelieving believers who believed in science, but later they became increasingly paranoid and crazy, and their worship of science and machinery had reached an almost blind level.
They invented human mechanical devices, mechanical neurons, which can integrate machines with the human body.
In order to transform themselves, some crazy believers even amputate their hands and feet and install mechanical prostheses, becoming half-machine and half-human beings.
Gu Fan didn't have much favorable impression of these paranoid lunatics.
As he said before, blindly believing in anything is a kind of superstition.
"Gun of Death, give me the communication device."
Gu Fan ordered: "Also, Tour Guide Hongdou, you take the rest of the Wild Hunting team to the Red Dragon Base first, leaving only the Singer Siren to follow me."
It is clear.
Gu Fan did not intend to take everyone with him to the Iron and Steel Machinery City.
Baby Xu Manman pouted, shook Gu Fan's palm, and said aggrievedly: "Gu Fan Guo Guo Guo, take me with you. Manman wants to go with you too."
Gu Fan shook his head: "The abyss crack we are going to has been baptized by nuclear bombs, and there is radiation everywhere. Only awakened ones who have reached the legendary mithril level can offset the mutation."
The awakened person of the legendary mithril level is also the saint.
Currently, among the Wild Hunt team, the only ones who have truly reached this level are the Immortal King Kong and the Singing Siren. Even the body of the Death Spear has not reached the level of the Saint. It only barely possesses it with the characteristics of weapons and snipers. The destructive power of the saint level.
Long-term exposure to radiation can cause damage to genetic tissue and, in severe cases, mutations.
The rest of the Wild Hunting team are not suitable for going to the radiation-filled rift. It is the best choice for others to go to the Red Dragon Base first, and the Singer Siren just takes this opportunity to practice.
"Baby Manman, if you stay in the radiation area for a long time, you might grow a scary one-eye on your head, and then a foul-smelling mouth!"
Lucky Star came to Xu Manman in a dark way and continued to scare her: "When the mutation occurs, you will grow a toe on your hand..."
"ah?"
"woo woo woo woo!!"
"Baby Manman, please don't have any more eyes or a little toe on your hand."
Xu Manman covered her forehead and turned around anxiously, her watery eyes filled with mist, fearing that she would turn into a little monster like Lucky Star said.
"Okay, okay, don't scare Manman."
Immortal King Kong waved his hand and patted his chest: "Don't worry, boss, I will protect others. As long as I and the Death Spear are here, there will be no problem."
"Um."
Gu Fan finally ordered: "Then let's divide the troops into two groups. Once this matter is settled, I will go to Chilong Base to join you."
…
…
Three days later.
Gu Fan and the members of the Wild Hunt team parted ways.
He took the singer Siren Shen Mengxi through the mountains near the Tianshui line, and through a deep forest that was born after the end of the world.
The lush and lush deep forest gradually turned yellow. A few fallen leaves fell with the wind, and the boots made a crisp "squeaking" sound when stepping on them. It was obvious that all life nutrients had been lost.
Shen Mengxi picked up one of the dead leaves.
There was a little dust on the dead leaves, and her saint-level perception allowed her to notice that the dust was still emitting energy, like a small handful of flames, releasing a faint light of fire outwards.
"This dust??"
Shen Mengxi raised her head in confusion, picked up a clean piece of paper in her pocket, wiped it gently, and handed the dust to Gu Fan.
"ash."
"You also feel the radiant energy above, right?"
Gu Fan pointed at the increasingly withered trees in front of him: "They are all corroded and will wither and die soon."
A nuclear bomb explodes.
It will burn everything around it, whether it is living things, soil, or even rocks, and turn it into ashes and float into the sky.
More than thousands of tons of ash drifted in the wind and spread vastly over a hundred miles. Some fell on the dilapidated windows to form a patch of plaster, and some fell on the forest logs, dispersing radioactive materials that made them withered.
The impact of a nuclear bomb cannot be eliminated for hundreds of years.
