Eyes looking down.
Thanks to the good cloudless weather, Richard could clearly see at this moment that the Vesuvius volcano was becoming more and more active, stimulated by the previous detonation of atomic bombs underground, and the entire mountain was entering a violent state.
The ground in Pompeii Town bulged over a large area, and nearly half of the stone buildings were destroyed. It seemed that if this situation continued, Vesuvius volcano would erupt in a few minutes at the earliest and a few hours at the earliest.
The remaining wizards in Pompeii Town seemed to have noticed this. They moved heavy iron boxes out of nowhere, quickly flew to the crater of the volcano with billowing black smoke, opened the black box, and took out the black sand-like material inside. Things fell toward the belly of the volcano.
Strangely enough, I don't know if it's an illusion. As more and more "black sand" is poured in, the active state of Mount Vesuvius has actually declined and is slowly calming down.
At this time, Chekhov had already landed back in Pompeii Town with the flapping of his wings. His feet touched the outer ground of Pompeii Town. He turned around and made a provocative invitation towards him, and then quickly entered the interior of Pompeii Town.
Is this... asking you to enter the urn
Richard pursed his lips. He really didn't want to dive into such an obvious trap.
But if you don’t dig in, how can you solve it
He turned his head and glanced at his left arm, and found that the dark red lines on the surface of the skin had spread to his shoulders, then his neck and chest. It looked like it might spread to his whole body.
If the scope of the curse was limited to the arm, he could be ruthless and cut off the entire arm to eliminate it from the source - anyway, he has found the ability to restore the mutilated limbs through several spells, and is not afraid of lifelong disability.
But now that the dark red lines of the curse are spreading so quickly, we can't use such rough methods.
If an arm is cut off, he is confident that it will regenerate, but if half of the body is cut off, he has no confidence that it can be regenerated. After all, he is not an earthworm, nor is he a monster with strong healing ability like Rommel.
So what to do
Looking at the ground again, Richard took a breath.
Do we really have to bite the bullet and take the initiative? Do you really want to return to the town of Pompeii, find Chikafu and kill him despite the obstruction of many truth society wizards? Considering that Chekhov's entire chest was blown away and he still survived, the opponent's healing ability may be weaker than Rommel's, but it won't be much different. One death finger and one finger may not be able to reach the target, and more shots are needed.
The energy in the mask of the Black Spirit King has been used up by now. Without the support of this energy warehouse, he may be consumed by Chikafu and live and die in Pompeii Town.
In a sense, this is Chekhov's conspiracy.
Does he really want to follow the path set by the other party
Or, tear down the opponent's path, break the opponent's trap, and slap the so-called conspiracy in the opponent's face
"Okay, this is what forced me..."
Richard whispered in the air, turned his hand, and an oval-shaped metal creation appeared in his hand.
A 150,000-ton equivalent, implosion atomic bomb, the sister of Truth 1, Truth 2 - Friendship!
Holding Truth No. 2 in hand, Richard narrowed his eyes and looked at the town of Pompeii 10,000 meters below his feet. Thinking of Chikafu who was hiding somewhere and waiting for him to chase him, he murmured to himself:
"Isn't it good to live? Why do you have to ask for death... You have to force me to beat you... And I have to beat you to death..."
"To be honest, I don't want to waste precious atomic bombs on you... You don't deserve it..."
"But you just won't let me go... Use all your methods not to let me go..."
"Okay...I'll help you...satisfy you..."
"Wish you happy!"
"wish you happy!"
"Buzz!"
A large amount of free energy from Richard's source of energy surged out, and part of it was injected into the interior of the No. 2 atomic bomb, activating a built-in timer inside. The other part is to wrap the appearance of the atomic bomb, forming an energy film with protruding sides, like wings, and has a certain invisibility effect.
"goodbye… "
"Shayanala..."
After preparations were completed, Richard pushed hard with his hand, and the entire atomic bomb fell at a high speed. Under the action of the energy film, it fell and moved toward the center of Pompeii Town at the same time.
After Richard finished all this, without even looking at it, he exploded with all his strength and flew towards the distance regardless of consumption. In Chikafu's field of vision, he directly turned into a gray line and disappeared into the sky.
…
this-
Near Pompeii Town Square, on top of a sloping stone building, Chikafu frowned as he watched Richard leave without caring about the curse.
Did you not believe what he said and thought the curse was fake
Chikafu's eyes sharpened, and then he sneered.
Well, then run away, one day you will know what the consequences will be!
When Pompeo's situation stabilized, when the inexplicable crystal ball communication failure was restored, and when the headquarters and branches of the Truth Society received news from Pompeo, that was the beginning of the great hunt.
By then, the entire world, no matter where it is, will not be safe.
It won't be safe!
"snort!"
Chikafu made a nasal sound, turned to look at a group of wizards not far away, and gave instructions to the other party to quickly move to the warehouse to transport black sand and stabilize the volcano.
He didn't know why the volcano under his feet suddenly became inexplicably unstable. It seemed to be inextricably related to Richard. But no matter what the reason is, the most important thing now is not to find the answer, but to stabilize the volcano. Otherwise, if it really erupts, the entire Pompeii will be destroyed.
Even if the people of Pompeii can escape by then, Pompeii's various constructions will be buried under volcanic ash, and the losses will be immeasurable.
"Go quickly, go help!"
Chekhov shouted.
"Yes." The group of wizards who were ordered were all first-level wizards. They were considered the lowest level in Pompeii Town. Facing the order of the inspector Chikafu, they did not dare to resist and hurriedly walked aside.
One of the members moved a little slower, stretched out his hand and pointed upward, asking: "What is that?"
"Huh?" After listening to the words, the rest of the team stopped for a moment and looked in the direction pointed.
Chikafu frowned, a little dissatisfied, but after thinking about it, he also looked towards the sky.
Blinking his eyes, he saw a translucent, oval-shaped object wrapped in energy that was almost integrated with the environment, falling rapidly in the direction of him. Because the speed was too fast and caused changes in the surrounding air, he let The previous level 1 wizard noticed.
What's this
Chikafu was a little confused, but at the next moment, many messy pictures inexplicably flashed in his mind:
Richard was told before that Rommel went to the other party's residence, and Richard showed calmness...
Richard suddenly attacked, and while attacking, he made a countdown sound...
Richard was indifferent when he was forced into a desperate situation...
A sudden burst of blue light…
The wizard of the All-powerful Truth Society was seriously injured...
With residence No. 12 as the center, the occurrence of earthquakes...
The Vesuvius volcano suddenly went into a rage...
Rommel's "disappearance" has not appeared until now. It is very likely that he died...
After Richard suffered his curse, he had every reason to return to Pompeii to hunt him down, but he walked away, and then this strange creature appeared...
Various images flashed crazily in Chikafu's mind over and over again, repeatedly impacting his mind like a revolving lantern. Chekhov was in some pain, his temples were protruding, and the blood vessels on his forehead were protruding. He clenched his hands, and then more chaotic scenes were added:
For example, a long time ago, he investigated the situation in Richard's mine. It was then that he became suspicious of Richard's purpose of mining ores, which was the beginning of everything...
The last time he confronted Richard at the Delan branch, what Richard said...
Richard said that he was planning to use the ore in the mine to make a weapon...
The weapon will release terrifying power, capable of destroying a city...
Able to kill all 270,000 people in the city...
And killed one hundred and thirty-two nobles...
With a fourteen-year-old pregnant girl...
At that time, Richard said that what he said was false to prove his innocence and that the weapons did not actually exist.
But now it is known that Richard is not innocent and is a spy.
So what Richard said, does the weapon he mentioned exist
If it existed, could it really destroy a city
Can it really kill 270,000 people in the city
Can you kill one hundred and thirty-two nobles
With a fourteen-year-old pregnant girl
if…
if!
Chikafu suddenly raised his head and looked at the strange creation falling in the sky. From the corner of his eyes, he saw wizards in all directions, busy without realizing it. Except for a few first-level wizards next to him, they knew nothing about the whereabouts of the creation.
He felt cold all over, and he was horrified by what he suspected.
He doesn't think it's true...
But what if it’s true…
The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, and he wanted to stop it.
He opened his mouth.
He spoke out.
He warned.
"Danger!"
"careful!"
"Dodge!"
In the end, not a single word came out of his mouth.
Almost as soon as his thoughts became clear, the creation falling from the sky made a roar.
The roar seemed to shatter the entire space. After the space cracked, infinite light and heat burst out.
In an instant, a sun, a new sun, rose in the center of Pompeii, hundreds or thousands of times brighter than the sun in the sky.
The "sun" expanded rapidly and turned into a fireball with a diameter of 1,100 meters in an instant. The entire center of Pompeii was swallowed up and ceased to exist. His consciousness went completely blank.
After that, the big fire ball continued to expand, and the surrounding air was affected and heated to an exaggerated degree. Affected by the laws of physics, the hot air is mixed with a large amount of dust and rises rapidly under the control of explosive force and buoyancy, forming a thick cylindrical cloud.
The cylindrical cloud continues to rise, and the top end begins to contact the moist and cold air at high altitude.
At this time, the second law of thermodynamics comes into effect. Heat is transferred from the higher cylindrical cloud to the surrounding moist and cold air, and the temperature at the top of the cylindrical cloud decreases. The rising speed slowed down, and then it moved in a horizontal direction, spreading in a flat hemispherical shape, just like a mushroom umbrella.
The mushroom cloud is born.
The first mushroom cloud created by nuclear weapons appeared on the continent of this world.
Looks very friendly.
The friendlier ones are yet to come.
The huge shock wave spread rapidly along the surface of the earth. Anything within three thousand meters in diameter, including but not limited to buildings, was destroyed like paper. All living things were killed by the overpressure with almost no reaction - no matter in the building Inside the building or outside the building.
The shock wave continues to spread, and the buildings within twenty square kilometers are still unable to resist. Unless a living creature is extremely powerful and extremely lucky, it will be like a canoe in a violent storm, and will be taken away by death in the blink of an eye. —and this was well beyond the limits of Pompeii.
The shock wave did not stop and continued to spread. Eventually, an area of nearly two hundred square kilometers was affected. Solid things became fragile and fragile things ceased to exist. Within this range, almost half of the area - close to one hundred square kilometers - even if the creatures are lucky enough to escape the attack of the shock wave, they will be burned by the high temperature and produce third-degree burns - the most severe burns - the injuries will be spread all over the skin. Full thickness, even deep into the subcutaneous, muscle, and bone.
The consequences of this are skin necrosis and even charring. There will be no pain because the pain-sensing nerves have been destroyed and the skin's function is directly lost. Wounds are extremely difficult to heal, and even if they heal by chance, they will become deformed.
And this is just the first step. Next, there will be lethal radiation, which will attack cells, at least causing DNA mutations, and at worst, destroying all chromosomes in the cell nucleus, causing any cell to lose its ability to add value. Because the lifespan of cells is limited, beings exposed to fatal radiation will clearly feel that every part of their body is dying slowly.
The first is the relatively short-lived cell structures, such as vascular endothelial cells. As a large number of vascular endothelial cells die, the blood vessels in the body begin to spray water everywhere like water pipes in disrepair. A large amount of fluid in the blood vessels leaks out, forming terrible swelling on the surface of the body.
Then there are slightly longer-lived cellular structures, such as the taste bud cells on the surface of the tongue. Wounds appear on the tongue, small at first, then larger and larger.
Then there are cell structures with relatively long lifespans, such as lung cells and other internal organs. Lung fragments and liver fragments will be ejected from the mouth with loud coughs, and if unlucky, they may even be choked.
Finally, there are brain cells. Because brain cells do not increase in value and have a lifespan as long as a living body, a living being exposed to excessive radiation will continue to experience various pains until death.
This was undoubtedly a long process, and before it began, the brief changes in Pompeii were not yet over, or, to be precise, only half way through.
As for the other half—and the most amazing half, that’s waiting to happen.
Then it started.
The power of the No. 2 atomic bomb continued to vent, and the entire town of Pompeii was destroyed. Almost all the wizards in Pompeii were killed instantly. Underground nuclear explosions will limit the terror of the atomic bomb to a very narrow range, but above-ground nuclear explosions will not. , completely demonstrated its destructive power at this moment, telling everyone why it has the power to destroy everything.
However, at this moment, Truth II is not the only protagonist, there is another protagonist, and that is Vesuvius.
As the power of Truth II was released to the end, the vast blue light accompanied by the magic electromagnetic pulse once again spread in all directions. As the impact of Truth II spread along the surface of the earth, it also penetrated downwards. Vesuvida Ke Volcano is fully awake.
…
Vesuvius is a giant, a sleeping giant.
From a long time ago to now, I have rarely woken up, especially recently. If I have the slightest sign of waking up, I will be poured into a drug called "Black Hyun Sand" by the Truth Society, and I will fall into a deep sleep again.
But when you sleep to the end, you will always wake up.
The fundamental reason for its awakening was the underground nuclear explosion of the Truth No. 1 atomic bomb. A large part of the power of the underground nuclear explosion was vented into the belly of the volcano, powerfully disturbing the magma. It's like giving a powerful vomiting drug to the giant Vesuvius volcano, which caused a strong reaction in the giant's stomach, almost vomiting.
After the underground nuclear explosion, the truth will continue to drop black sand into the crater, which is like forcibly swallowing food to prevent vomiting. But it can only be blocked for a while, but it cannot be blocked forever. When the reaction in the giant's belly becomes stronger and stronger, everything will eventually be sprayed out.
It's just that this process will be a little long, it may be a few hours, it may be a few days, or a few weeks.
At this moment, the Veritas II atomic bomb exploded in the center of Pompeii, on the surface of Mount Vesuvius.
It was like a punch in the belly of the giant Vesuvius.
This is the direct cause of the awakening of Mount Vesuvius.
Originally, the giant Mount Vesuvius was forced to endure vomiting. Under the influence of external forces, the hard-to-reach balance was destroyed, so he completely woke up, and everything in his belly began to pour out in rage.
Mount Vesuvius erupts in full force!
"Boom!"
The mushroom cloud of the Truth 2 atomic bomb was still expanding, and the dust had not completely dispersed. The vibration amplitude of Vesuvius volcano suddenly increased by ten times.
"Kakaka!"
The ground is constantly rising and sinking violently, and the flat surface has become crisscrossed with ravines.
The most shocking thing was on the top of Vesuvius volcano. Along with the shaking, a terrifying crack appeared. It was tens of meters wide at first and spread rapidly from the top of the mountain down the mountain.
"Crack, click, click!"
Amidst the permeating sound, it was visible to the naked eye that the entire Vesuvius volcano split open to both sides, reaching a width of several hundred meters. The town of Pompeii, which was located halfway up the mountain and had been almost flattened, was right at the center of the crack. It slowly fell towards the crack with a "crash" sound.
"No!"
"No!"
A human voice sounded, and a figure appeared on the edge of Pompeii Town.
He was an ordinary first-level wizard from the Society of Truth. I don't know whether it was luck or something. Among many disasters, he was lucky enough to survive, but suffered relatively serious injuries.
They saw that nearly half of his body was burnt, his face was pale, his expression was extremely frightened, and he was limping away trying to escape the fate of falling into the volcano.
As a result, before taking a few steps, I suddenly noticed something. When I looked back, I saw a flash of red light in the crack, and a massive amount of magma spewed out like a giant fountain. First it rushed high into the sky, and then crashed down heavily. Cover all Pompeii, cover him too.
"No-"
The screams stopped abruptly.
And this is just the first spurt of magma, and more and more magma will continue to spurt out.
The whole world seemed to turn into a world of fire in an instant.
"Boom!"
A large amount of flames and magma were dancing wildly, and everything around was dyed red.
The huge power inside the planet found an outlet at this moment, burst out crazily, and buried Pompeii and everything around it.
"Rumble..."
The sound echoed through the sky, and the lava, debris, and black smoke erupted from the volcano could be clearly seen for hundreds of miles.
Pompeii on earth, Pompeii in this world, at this moment... reappears in some form...
Goodbye Pompeii.
Goodbye Pompeii.
ps: The explosive power of the 150,000-ton atomic bomb in this chapter is referenced from nukemap. The specific setting data is: Nevada test site, 150 kiloton, ground explosion. The specific effect may be slightly different from reality. After all, I have not actually detonated it (showing my hands). If there are any questions, please understand.
