Xiao Changming nodded.
The convoy moved forward at full speed, only encountering so sporadic attacks, which were resolved by the three people on the roof before Chen Shouyi could even be on alert.
"That should be a nuclear crater, right?" Lu Shouhu spoke up.
Upon hearing this, Chen Shouyi imdiately looked over, seeing a circular creation several kiloters away, elevated seven or eight ters above the ground. Its diater was about three to four hundred ters, resembling a crater.
"Is there any radiation here?" Sun ngyuan asked with so concern.
"There definitely is, but it shouldn't affect us much. According to the provided intel, there were four nuclear missiles launched last ti, the largest being only ten kilotons. With such nuclear missiles, the radiation wouldn't be lethal to ordinary people one or two kiloters away, and we are at least three or four kiloters from the nuclear crater." Lu Shouhu said, not very worried.
Although nuclear weapons have terrifying destructive power and radiation, it also depends on the yield and range.
Chen Shouyi looked at the massive nuclear crater, feeling inexplicably heavy in his heart. This area might beco uninhabited for decades.
Of course, there's no point in thinking too much unless we resolve that God of Hunting.
The black dots circling overhead grew more nurous, and under the distant, hazy moonlight, the massive figures of the two nuclear strategic airships were already visible from afar.
Chen Shouyi noticed that these two airships weren't far apart, roughly just one or two kiloters, and happened to have crashed into a village.
This is undoubtedly good news for the mission.
A village ans there must be direct roads. If it had crashed into fields, it would be too troubleso.
These nuclear warheads weigh hundreds of kilograms at the lightest and several tons at the heaviest. Not only would transportation be difficult in the fields, but it would also waste a lot of ti. The longer the delay, the more dangerous it becos for this operation.
"Stay alert, watch above." Ye Zong on the roof suddenly shouted loudly.
Chen Shouyi imdiately looked up, just in ti to see tiny black dots rapidly falling from the sky, enlarging quickly.
Damn!
It's spears!
The Barbarians are starting to throw spears from a high altitude!
"Watch out!" Lu Shouhu shouted.
Soon, the sharp whistling sounded, as one spear after another fell like rain into the fields on both sides of the road, raising clods of earth.
The accuracy of these spears thrown from one or two thousand ters in the air was pretty low, with so spears landing hundreds of ters away.
However, the sheer number made up for the accuracy.
With a "boom," a spear landed on one of the enclosed carriages ready to load nuclear bombs. Fortunately, the carriage armor was thick enough, leaving only a shallow dent on top and continued moving normally.
"Not good, watch out!" Ye Zong shouted suddenly.
A spear whizzed towards the bed of their truck.
The spear rapidly enlarged, and Chen Shouyi could almost see the intense air currents around the spearhead, unfortunately heading right for him.
He quickly dodged to the side, avoiding it swiftly.
At the sa ti, a small figure flew out from his chest due to the body's montum, rolling onto the truck bed.
With a "boom."
The truck bed was pierced through, resulting in a bowl-sized hole!
The Shell Lady was a bit dazed from the fall, sitting on the ground with tears welling up.
However, upon seeing the unfamiliar Giants around her, she was scared into a shiver, found Chen Shouyi, and started running towards him desperately on her little legs.
At this point, the attack began to cease.
The Barbarians had a limited number of spears, exhausting them within ten seconds. All the war beasts began flying away into the distance.
Everyone suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"What is that?" Beside him, Xiao Changming's sharp eyes noticed the Shell Lady quickly climbing up Chen Shouyi's pant leg, opening his mouth in surprise.
Chen Shouyi snapped back to reality, finally realizing the Shell Lady had been thrown out. He gently picked up the Shell Lady and placed her on his shoulder: "My daughter!"
Xiao Changming looked at the Shell Lady, who wasn't much longer than a finger, and was astonished: "Are you kidding?"
Daughter, whose daughter is that small?
"It's an alternate world creature. This is the first ti I've seen such a small humanoid creature. Where did you find it?" Lu Shouhu asked curiously.
"Found it during an exploration of the alternate world," Chen Shouyi said, cutting off his fantasy: "Don't even think about it, there's only one."
"Ah, what a pity! I also want to raise one!" Lu Shouhu said, his face full of disappointnt.
Even Sun ngyuan, who hadn't gotten along with Chen Shouyi earlier, was now sowhat restless, her eyes shimring, occasionally glancing at the Shell Lady. She had no resistance in the face of such a Thumbelina from a fairy tale.
Only Lei Ruiyang remained unmoved after a glance, a trace of disdain passing through his heart. What use is such a powerless pet apart from being pretty?
"Giant, I'm scared!" Facing the strong gaze of the surrounding Giants, the Shell Lady shivered and said in a small voice.
"Whoa, she can talk!" Ye Zong suddenly leaned his head out from above and exclaid in surprise.
It's not surprising at all. In my heart, Chen Shouyi thought, my Shell Lady not only talks but can also dance and sing.
"Co, don't be afraid, co over to Uncle here, there are good things," Ye Zong said in a common language.
Trying to lure my daughter!
Seeing the Shell Lady's hesitant expression, Chen Shouyi picked her up and placed her in his jacket's inner pocket, saying: "Alright, stop looking. The danger isn't over yet."
"Tsk!" Ye Zong revealed a hint of disdain, clearly seeing through Chen Shouyi.
For those like them, battle-hardened, even if relaxed, they wouldn't really let their guard down, being aware of everything, almost instinctively.
...
What followed was incredibly smooth, with no more Barbarian attacks.
They might have been scared off.
The strategic airship got closer and closer. Soon the convoy left the road, heading into the village where the airship was located.
It's, it's just too big.
From a distance, it didn't seem like much. But up close, Chen Shouyi found it was like two towering mountains, crushing half the village.
The two nuclear-powered airships were severely damaged, with a large hole, tens of ters in diater, torn in the armor of one, and half of the other's body nearly ripped apart.
"Look at the road, sothing's not right," Ye Zong suddenly said.
In the hazy night, huge footprints were faintly printed on the road, surrounded by cracks. Each footprint was six or seven ters long and half a ter wide.
"Damn, what the hell is this creature?" Chen Shouyi cursed.
As soon as the word left his mouth, the ground began to tremble slightly. A series of dull yet rhythmic thuds ca from afar, making Chen Shouyi's heart beat violently.
Within ten seconds, a huge Giant about forty to fifty ters tall erged from behind one of the airships.
"Damn, I wondered why it was so smooth along the way, turns out this monster is guarding here," said Lu Shouhu, stunned, with a shocked expression.
"Damn it, why didn't the intel ntion this Giant."
"Maybe it just ca through the Space Portal today, maybe it wasn't here before!" Sun ngyuan said with a serious expression.
The entire Giant looked like a building, standing in front of the massive airship, it wasn't much shorter, with wild hair and naked body, its terrifying knotted muscles showcasing its frightening strength.
His eyes were directly fixed on the convoy, his entire face nacing.
"Tiny humans, without the permission of the Great Kipps, no one can approach here." His voice was grand and impressive, like thunder booming: "Violators will die!"
The driver inside the vehicle, just an ordinary soldier, was apparently so intimidated by the Giant that he lost focus, causing the vehicle to sway slightly. Fortunately, he quickly stabilized and continued forward.
In an instant, all weapons were aid at the Giant.
"No one can defy my orders." Seeing the convoy continue to move forward, he revealed a trace of malice, bending down and plucking a large tree, like pulling out a weed, and threw it over here.
The tree flew several kiloters, landing heavily behind the convoy, rolling and breaking several large trees along the way, finally falling into the fields, splashing large amounts of water and mud.
Chen Shouyi gasped, his face full of fear. Such pure strength might even surpass that of the God of Courage.
