Chapter 167: Nuclear Strike, Evacuate
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After confirming the failure of the plan, Zhou Chen and Teresa sped up and quickly pulled away from the huge monster. Then, they drove towards the spot where the flying car had stopped.
“What do we do now? Evacuate everyone?” Zhou Chen asked Teresa. Because he had just joined this native organization, he was not privy to their internal decisions.
Teresa’s expression returned to normal as she left the range of the monster and the pressure she felt was much lighter. She turned around and replied, “No, we plan to try the nuclear warhead first and see how it goes.”
“You still have nuclear bombs?” Zhou Chen was somewhat surprised. “Let’s hope the nuclear bomb can destroy that monster…”
Since that monster was a tree monster, Zhou Chen felt that it should not be too tanky. A nuclear bomb attack might be effective.
Calamity Grade monsters had their strengths and weaknesses. Some Calamity Grade monsters could resist nuclear bombs without an injury, but that did not mean that every Calamity Grade monster could ignore a nuclear bomb.
Teresa fell silent. They drove the hovering motorcycle at high speed for a while before seeing the flying car parked in front. They quickly entered the car and returned the way they came.
After sitting in the flying car for a while, Teresa suddenly put a small black card to her lips and reported to the headquarters, “We have retreated to a safe distance. Please launch the nuclear warhead at the target immediately.”
Zhou Chen, who was sitting by the window in the flying car, heard it. He immediately turned his head and observed the back of the window, waiting for the nuclear bomb.
‘It should arrive soon…’ Although the monster was quite far from Paradise City, it was just a matter of minutes for a warhead.
The wait was not long as Zhou Chen had expected. After about a minute, he suddenly saw a dazzling light on the horizon through the car window. After about another minute, a terrifying rumbling sound came. The entire flying car began to shake violently.
‘I can’t see the mushroom cloud, but this is a good thing. Zhou Chen was a little regretful that he could not see the mushroom cloud formed by the nuclear bomb explosion from his current location, but he was also a little glad because the places from where he could see the mushroom cloud might be severely affected by the nuclear attack.
The rest of the journey was relatively peaceful. They returned to Paradise City at high speed before heading to the headquarters’ office.
“How is it? Is that monster still alive?” The moment she entered the headquarters, Teresa asked the middle-aged staff surrounding the computer.
“According to the satellite surveillance, it should still be alive,” one of the middle-aged men looked away from the computer and replied. “But it hasn’t moved much after suffering the nuclear attack. We’re preparing for the second nuclear warhead strike.”
“That’s good,” Teresa nodded. “It should not be able to endure another attack.”
‘Looks like our luck is not bad this time. We encountered a Calamity Grade who is not too tanky,’ Zhou Chen thought to himself.
However, just as this thought flashed across his mind, another staff member in the office suddenly looked up and reported to everyone, “Report! A Calamity Grade monster has been detected in the southwest! Its movement speed is extremely fast! It is estimated to reach Paradise City in five minutes!”
“Southwest? Another Calamity Grade monster?!” Teresa immediately reacted. “Are you sure?”
She began to doubt this report. How could another Calamity Grade monster suddenly appear after they had just suppressed one?
“It can’t be wrong. Our drones have sent back images of the monster,” that staff member also was shocked. When Teresa and Zhou Chen walked toward him, he pointed at the short video on the screen with a trembling finger.
In the video, there was a majestic tornado-like thing moving at high speed in the wasteland, sweeping up everything in its way.
‘Isn’t this a super-large tornado?’ Zhou Chen frowned at the video, but he quickly denied his thoughts because he saw that there was a blood-colored object twisting in the main body of the tornado, as if it was leading the tornado.
That terrifying tornado was indeed a monster! Or it was closely connected to a monster!
“Immediately inform everyone to evacuate!”
Looking at the satellite data and confirming that there was indeed a second Calamity Grade monster moving this way, Teresa immediately gave the order to evacuate because the second nuclear warhead was not ready to launch yet. There was no time to test if this Calamity Grade could endure the nuclear bomb.
“Li, quickly retreat with us. There’s not much time left,” After giving the order to retreat, Teresa turned to look at Zhou Chen.
She had to value Zhou Chen seriously. In her eyes, Zhou Chen was the only mutant here other than her. Mutants could resist the apocalyptic pollution and would be very helpful in the evacuation.
“Sure,” Zhou Chen immediately replied.
He knew the seriousness of the situation. At this moment, he had to run as fast as he could. He could not hesitate.
A few seconds later, Zhou Chen, Teresa, and the others jumped out of the window and entered a flying car parked outside.
Near this flying car were several heavy transport helicopters filled with various supplies. Other than these flying vehicles were more than ten trucks on the ground.
These were all prepared when they detected the first Calamity Grade monster. They were for the sake of escaping when the plan failed.
“Let’s go! That Calamity Grade will reach here soon!” After getting on the flying car, a middle-aged man shouted to the driver, looking a little nervous.
“Let’s wait a while more. There are still people who haven’t arrived,” Teresa scanned the people in the flying car and noticed that some key people were still not here.
‘I wonder if Li Guofu has escaped… and Lucy. She doesn’t seem to be here.’ Zhou Chen was somewhat concerned about Li Guofu and Lucy.
He immediately took out his access pass and sent a message to Lucy, “Lucy, quickly come to the flying car beside the office window of the headquarters! It’s an emergency evacuation!”
Half a second after he sent the message, Lucy replied, “Yes, Captain!”
After all, Lucy was a robot. As long as she did not go to hibernate, she would always be on standby.
‘Unfortunately, I have no way to contact Li Guofu.’ Zhou Chen could inform Lucy, but not Li Guofu.. He had yet to integrate with the native forces here and had not obtained this pass.
