Chapter 620 What should we do next?
Lin Mo staggered two steps, coughed violently, and almost knelt down.
Fendona quickly supported him, her emerald green eyes filled with tension and worry.
"Lin Mo, are you alright?"
What she could say was unheard, not even by Lin Mo herself.
The explosion severely damaged everyone's eardrums.
Lin Mo waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, and wanted to ask if everyone had arrived.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, a metallic sweetness welled up in his throat.
In order to maintain the magical barrier, his magical power was quickly depleted, and the shockwave made his internal organs feel like they had been hit by a heavy hammer.
Fendona wasn't much better off.
Her Moonlight Staff was dim, and there was blood at the corner of her mouth. The water barrier she had just created was something she had erected by enduring the aftershocks of the antimatter explosion.
Without that buffer, the portal would have shattered long ago, and at least half of the people wouldn't have been able to get through.
Thorin sat on the ground, stunned for a few seconds, before grabbing back his warhammer.
His beard was a mess, and some of it was in his mouth.
"Thank God, I survived!"
"This is too damn exciting, I can't take it, I can't take it."
Grom silently laid the unconscious Kyle flat on the ice.
Lin Mo forced himself to stand firm and walked to Kyle's side.
He took out a healing scroll from his spatial ring and tore it open.
A soft, holy light descended, covering Kyle's entire body.
Kyle's chest heaving calmed down a little, but he still didn't wake up.
Fendona crouched down to examine for a moment, then whispered:
"His injuries weren't external; they were caused by severe overexertion of his magic and excessive consumption of his mental energy."
Because he couldn't hear, Lin Mo had to check the lip movements several times before he could guess what Fendona was saying.
Lin Mo immediately opened his mouth wide and shouted:
"Can it be restored?"
"Yes." Fendona understood Lin Mo's lip movements and said:
"But he needs to rest."
Hearing this, everyone finally felt a little relieved.
Lin Mo didn't stop; he took out another group healing scroll from his spatial ring and tore it up.
The magical light spread out, enveloping everyone present.
The bruises on Thorin's shoulders visibly faded, and the bleeding from the open wounds of several centaurs quickly stopped.
Grom let out a long breath, and his previously unfocused gaze returned to focus.
Lin Mo himself felt that the tearing pain in his internal organs had eased considerably, and his senses were also recovering.
However, the weakness caused by the depletion of magic power cannot be recovered in a short period of time.
The group stood in the wind and snow, and no one spoke.
The direction of the explosion in the distance was shrouded in wind and snow, and the sky looked as if a hole had been burned through it, with thick clouds churning endlessly.
Even from a distance of more than ten kilometers, the lingering force was still terrifying.
It's not that they haven't seen nuclear bombs before.
In Terra, everyone witnessed numerous nuclear explosions and saw firsthand the horror of nuclear weapons.
Nuclear bombs and antimatter bombs are not even the same thing.
The nuclear explosion was like a sun falling to earth.
In that instant, it was as if a part of the world had been forcibly erased, and all matter ceased to exist.
This is horrible.
Thorin wiped the ice crystals off his beard.
"If this bomb were to explode near the Dwarf King's City, my furnace would be sent flying into the sky."
Fendona gripped her staff tightly, her eyes still etched with lingering fear.
What just happened has exceeded the understanding of "weapons" of most Terran creatures.
Forbidden spells can destroy cities, and dragons can burn mountains.
A seventh-tier powerhouse can change the course of a war.
But that silver-gray bomb almost buried the Demon God, fifteen seventh-tier powerhouses, and all of them together!
This power inspires both instinctive awe and fear.
Seeing the complicated expressions on everyone's faces, Lin Mo didn't bother to explain anything.
Antimatter bombs are not conventional weapons.
This thing is extremely expensive to manufacture, extremely difficult to store, and its quantity is pitifully small.
If Kogas hadn't pushed them to this point, Great Xia would never have used this so easily.
But now, the question isn't whether the weapon is terrifying, but whether it has killed the demon!
Lin Mo turned on his wrist terminal and discovered that it was broken.
So he took out a new spare watch terminal from his spatial ring, put it on, and turned it on.
He switched to a short-range military channel, and the screen was immediately filled with static and static.
"I am Lin Mo."
Please respond.
sizzle-
no response.
So he tried to establish a connection with the satellite and continued making calls.
"I am Lin Mo."
"Please respond if you receive this!"
The piercing electrical hum lasted for several seconds before intermittent sound came from the terminal.
"Was it Commander Lin...? Lin...you guys...?"
"Signal interference...severe..."
Lin Mo continued shouting, "Feed? It's me, Lin Mo, can you hear me?"
The backup watch terminal was filled with a piercing electrical buzzing sound.
The wind and snow swept past from behind the ice slope, making the tattered shields on everyone's bodies flicker. Lin Mo held the terminal with one hand and supported the ice surface with the other, his chest still feeling tight.
A few seconds later, the intermittent sound finally came from the terminal.
"Commander Lin... Commander Lin? This is the Tianyong City Command Center!"
"Can you hear me? How's the situation over there?"
Lin Mo's eyes narrowed, and he immediately said:
"I can hear it, but the signal is very weak."
"I'm fine here. Tell me the results of the explosion. Is the demon dead?"
There was a half-second silence on the other end of the communication.
Then, Chen Jianguo's calm voice rang out.
"Unable to confirm at the moment."
Lin Mo's heart sank.
Chen Jianguo continued:
"All the surveillance drones near the epicenter were destroyed, and the Third Unmanned Legion was also mostly destroyed by the shockwave."
"The battlefield is now filled with high-temperature steam, icy turbulence, and strong electromagnetic interference. Satellite images are severely obscured, so we can't see the demon's corpse or detect any clear signs of its activity."
Lin Mo gritted his teeth and pressed on:
"What about those fifteen Terra Tier 7 powerhouses?"
"That also cannot be confirmed." Chen Jianguo's voice was even deeper.
"Their tracking devices were most likely damaged during the fighting and impact, and all signals were lost."
"However, I have ordered all mobile unmanned units on the battlefield to switch to search mode. Robots, unmanned combat vehicles, and reconnaissance aircraft are all searching the outer regions."
He paused for a moment, then added another sentence.
"Commander Lin, is your position safe now? Are there any casualties?"
Lin Mo glanced at the people around him. Although their condition wasn't great, they were all alive and unharmed. He said:
"We are all alive. Kyle is unconscious due to magic exhaustion, and the injuries of the others have been healed by magic. They are just a little mentally unwell, but there is nothing seriously wrong with them."
After saying that, Lin Mo immediately said:
"Never mind us for now, keep searching for the Demon God. As long as it's alive, no one is safe."
"clear!"
The communication was torn apart by the wind, snow and the sound of electricity, and the last two words of Chen Jianguo could be vaguely deciphered.
Lin Mo turned off the communication, glanced around, and hoped that those seventh-level experts were all alright.
Fendona walked over and asked with concern:
"How is it? Have any of you gentlemen received any news? Is the Demon God still alive?"
Lin Mo shook his head.
"Nothing is certain yet."
Thorin took out his flask, took a swig of wine, exhaled a breath of cold air, and walked over casually, asking:
"What should we do next?"
