Magic? My Iron Torrent will sweep it all away!

Chapter 546 My God! This is not scientific!

The lieutenant, having received the order, hung up the phone and looked around at the dozen or so soldiers who remained beside him.

Everyone heard the command.

Go to the nuclear blast zone.

No one said a word.

The lieutenant knew exactly how high the radiation levels were in that area, less than three minutes after the nuclear bomb had detonated.

Wearing any kind of protective suit is pointless.

He didn't explain these things, otherwise he would have had to carry out this certain death mission himself.

He turned and said:

"Leo, Parker. You two go!"

The two people named were young men in their early twenties.

He had red hair, a face full of freckles, and chapped, peeling lips.

Another tall, thin man wore a pair of crooked glasses, the lenses of which were covered in dust.

The two men exchanged a glance, hesitant, but seeing the lieutenant draw his pistol and cock it, they had no choice but to obey.

Someone brought two sets of NBC protective suits, quickly put them on, grabbed a radiation detector, and climbed into an off-road vehicle.

The engine started, the wheels rolled over the gravel on the road, and headed towards the nuclear explosion.

Leo drove, and Parker sat in the passenger seat, nervously clutching the diagnostic device.

The view outside the car window made neither of them want to talk.

The once bustling streets were transformed into a true hell after being ravaged by the nuclear shockwave.

The buildings resemble chewed gum, twisted, collapsed, and piled up into absurd shapes.

Thick smoke and dust were everywhere.

Someone is climbing by the roadside.

A middle-aged woman dragged a clearly broken leg, inching forward with her elbows, leaving a long trail of blood behind her.

Her mouth was open, as if she was shouting something, but the car window was closed, so it was impossible to hear.

Further on, a man leaned against a collapsed wall, holding a child in his arms.

The child remained motionless.

The man remained motionless.

But his eyes were open, fixed on the direction the SUV had passed.

Leo gripped the steering wheel tightly, his eyes fixed straight ahead, ignoring the roadside.

Parker lowered his head and stared at the radiation detector in his hand.

The numbers are rising rapidly.

200 millisieverts... 500 millisieverts...

Parker swallowed hard.

"The radiation levels have exceeded the standard."

Leo didn't turn around:

"Will the protective suits be able to withstand it?"

Parker fell silent; he didn't know either.

Protective suits can block alpha and beta rays, but not gamma rays.

At this distance and at this point in time, the dose of gamma rays would be enough to kill them within hours.

Radiation sickness might be curable in the future, but if this disaster isn't resolved now, people will die that very day!

Let's focus on surviving this disaster first.

Leo stepped on the gas, and the car picked up speed.

Beneath the mask, sweat streamed down his face and into his neck, sticking so thick it was maddening.

The SUV rounded a collapsed intersection, and visibility dropped sharply ahead.

The air was filled with swirling dust and debris.

The headlights were turned on, and the beams of light pierced into the gray fog, like tucking a wad of cotton, illuminating less than five meters away.

Leo was forced to slow down, and both of them perked up their ears.

"Boom..."

A muffled sound came from the depths of the gray fog ahead.

The ground trembled slightly.

"Was it caused by an explosion in another area?" Parker's voice was a little tense.

Leo didn't speak; he listened carefully.

"Boom... Boom..."

Two more shots, evenly spaced, with a steady rhythm, unlike an explosion.

Like footsteps.

The two exchanged a glance.

The faces behind the masks all looked terrible.

But since we're already here, we should at least take a look and confirm.

Leo took a deep breath and continued driving forward.

The car was moving very slowly, almost as slowly as walking.

The radiation detector readings had exceeded the maximum allowed, with the pointer hitting the bottom and emitting a continuous, piercing alarm.

Parker reached out and turned off the alarm.

It's pointless now.

In the gray fog, the rumbling sound grew louder and closer.

The tremors on the ground became increasingly noticeable.

Each blow felt like something incredibly heavy was hitting the ground.

A shadow appeared ahead of the gray fog.

A blurry, enormous, sky-covering shadow.

As the SUV continued to approach, the outline of the shadow gradually became clearer.

The two men saw a leg.

A leg that's ridiculously thick.

Its surface is covered with a dark gray carapace, and there are dark purple lines that pulsate faintly at the joints.

That leg is slowly rising, unstoppable.

"boom!!"

Stomp down hard!

The moment the foot landed, the ground within a radius of tens of meters collapsed, and rubble and concrete fragments flew out like splashing water.

One of the fist-sized pebbles hit the hood of the SUV, creating a deep dent.

Their eyes involuntarily followed that leg upwards.

The legs are connected to the torso, and the torso is connected to the shoulders.

Above his shoulder... he disappeared directly into the shattered dome ceiling.

Its body forcefully pierced through the entire underground city's ceiling, and large chunks of reinforced concrete were constantly falling, striking its body without causing any reaction.

On the surface of that enormous body was a layer of dark purple, semi-transparent energy shield, emitting a faint glow.

"Oh God..."

Parker's voice sounded like it was being squeezed out of his throat.

"It's not dead...it actually isn't dead!"

A 100-ton nuclear bomb was rendered useless when detonated at close range!

Leo reacted faster than Parker.

Without hesitation, he slammed down the reverse gear and floored the accelerator.

The SUV emitted a screeching sound as its tires spun violently backward.

At the same time, the enormous foot rose again.

A shadow fell.

Leo's pupils reflected the enormous, all-encompassing creature.

"Damn it! Hurry, hurry, hurry!!"

He jerked the steering wheel with both hands.

The SUV swerved into a sharp bend while reversing, almost flipping over with both wheels off the ground.

"Bang!"

The car body crashed heavily back to the ground.

The enormous foot slammed down on the spot where they had just parked, crushing the ground and the three underground levels together.

The off-road vehicle accelerated wildly through the flying gravel, moving as fast as it could away from that terrifying shadow.

We must escape the radiation zone immediately and send the intelligence back.

Twelve minutes later.

command center.

When Leo and Parker's report came back over the landline, the entire command center fell silent.

"impossible!"

An officer suddenly stood up, causing his chair to fall backward.

"A 100-ton nuclear bomb! Exploded at close range! How could it still be alive?!"

"No living being could withstand such an attack!"

"This doesn't conform to physics! It doesn't conform to biology! It doesn't conform to any discipline!"

Hysterical shouts echoed throughout the command center.

But facts are facts.

It's not just Leo and Parker.

Within minutes of their reports being sent back, more frontline soldiers from different directions sent the same message.

"Report! That monster is still moving! It's heading towards the sixth residential area!"

"Report! A large-scale tremor has been detected in the 11th Defense Sector; a monster is suspected to be approaching!"

"Report! A large number of monsters have reappeared around the nuclear blast area!"

"Those monsters are pouring out of the drains!"
