Chapter 753: Chapter 749: Nuclear Explosion
Ye Fan did indeed successfully detonate the suitcase nuke, but he also paid a grievous price.
He managed to infiltrate the Kumogo underground biochemical research facility amid the chaos, only to discover that it was much larger than he had imagined.
Although he knew that the suitcase nuke had an enormous power, equivalent to 1,000 tons of TNT, he was still worried that if it exploded in the wrong location it wouldn’t completely destroy the underground facility, so he kept sneaking to the far end before returning to the central location of the underground base.
The defense and guard force of the Kumogo underground biochemical research facility were formidable, but they had never encountered such an intense attack before. Not only was the entrance to the underground base in disarray, but even the interior was sowhat chaotic, which benefited Ye Fan.
As he sneaked his way to the end of the underground base, the things he saw made even him, who had witnessed countless life-and-death situations and bloodshed, feel his scalp tingle with horror, almost to the point of vomiting.
After reaching the end of the underground base, to facilitate the timing of the suitcase nuke, Ye Fan released the monsters that were locked up in large iron cages.
Those monsters squeezed out from the bars and burst into a furious rampage, attacking everyone like crazed wild beasts.
For a mont, the underground base was thrown into complete chaos.
However, the enemy clearly had a contingency plan for such a scenario, and, after a minute or two of chaos, they imdiately began an effective suppression.
Yet for Ye Fan, that minute or two was more than enough.
In the center of the underground base, Ye Fan set the tir for the suitcase nuke to explode, then hid the device in a cabinet before making a full effort to escape.
Ye Fan was sprinting towards the exit of the underground base when he was finally spotted by the enemy.
However, since there were friendlies everywhere and the distance was short, it wasn’t convenient for the enemy to shoot at Ye Fan. The enemy officers, wary of harming their own, could only loudly order their soldiers to try to stop Ye Fan with their bodies.
Ye Fan was least afraid of close combat. In the blink of an eye, he had broken through the encirclent and rushed out of the underground base exit.
But as soon as he dashed out of the underground base, a barrage of bullets wove a net behind him, shooting in his direction.
Boom—
A loud explosion erupted as a grenade Ye Fan had set off exploded at the exit of the underground base. This special grenade had trendous killing power, instantly killing countless enemies that were pursuing him.
However, Ye Fan did not escape unscathed.
Inevitably, he took five or six bullets, but luckily he was wearing a top-grade full-body bulletproof vest, which prevented any real injury. However, the blast wave from the special grenade behind him blasted him seven or eight ters away, slamming him harshly to the ground, stars bursting in front of his eyes.
Though disoriented by the blast, Ye Fan didn’t stay down for a second. As soon as he touched the ground, he sprang up and exerted his “Dapeng Spreads Wings” Qinggong, desperately trying to escape.
To prevent the people inside the Kumogo underground biochemical research facility from discovering and promptly dealing with the suitcase nuke, Ye Fan set the explosion tir to just three minutes. During these three minutes, he had to get as far away as possible from the blast radius of the nuke.
Although a large number of enemies who had rushed to the underground base exit were killed, there were still many entrenched around the defensive works outside. These enemies imdiately turned their heavy machine guns and began furiously firing at Ye Fan.
Dadadadada…
Countless bullets shot toward him, and although he dodged with all his might, bullets still hit him from ti to ti.
Even though the bullets couldn’t penetrate the top-grade bulletproof vest, each bullet’s impact was so powerful it could nearly knock a person off their feet.
Ye Fan, using cover to dodge as much as possible, endured the impacts from the occasional hits as he made a full effort to escape.
It took him just over a minute to cover those few hundred ters.
Thankfully, having escaped several hundred ters away, Ye Fan found the enemy’s barrage far less dense, which allowed him to flee in a straight line from the Kumogo underground biochemical research facility.
After escaping over a thousand ters, Ye Fan, while fleeing, took out a specially made helt and put it on.
The helt’s sole function was soundproofing, to protect the ears.
Ye Fan didn’t know how far he had fled when suddenly an overwhelmingly massive and prolonged rumbling noise ca from behind him.
Although he was wearing the ear-protective helt beforehand, it couldn’t completely block out the sound; one ten-thousandth of the blast still penetrated his ears, temporarily deafening him.
Furthermore, the blast directly affected his body, causing his Qi-blood to surge, displacing his internal organs and darkening his vision.
Had he not been in the later stage of the Dark Energy and practiced “Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound” for a while, with extrely sturdy internal mbranes, he might have been killed on the spot by the explosion rupturing his organs.
Temporarily deaf and ignoring his surging Qi-blood, Ye Fan exerted all his strength to throw himself into a nearby depression, then clung tightly to the ground within it.
No sooner had Ye Fan pressed into the depression than the shockwave from the suitcase nuclear bomb explosion swept over with ferocious intensity.
It lasted a full minute before the shockwave passed.
Ye Fan struggled to climb out of the depression, removed his special helt, and appeared completely unsteady, bleeding from his seven orifices, looking as if he had crawled out from a pile of corpses, utterly horrifying.
Ye Fan felt he had lost at least ninety percent of his lives. However, he only had ti for a brief respite before clenching his teeth and heading to the Dragon Team’s evacuation assembly point with unwavering resolve.
Apart from the initial terrifying force of the nuclear bomb, what truly frightened everyone was the nuclear radiation that followed the explosion.
Even though the suitcase nuclear bomb detonated nearly a hundred ters underground, Ye Fan dared not gamble with his life.
Ordinary injuries might cost him half his life but still leave him with a chance to recover with his robust physique; however, severe nuclear radiation would likely leave him only awaiting death.
The entire Dragon Team, forewarned of an imminent bomber attack and with a contingency plan in place, received an evacuation order from Leopard a few minutes before the bombers arrived. mbers abandoned their heavy weapons and quickly dispersed to retreat.
And since the Kumogo underground biochemical research facility had been thoroughly destroyed by Ye Fan, the Dragon Team did not have to worry about being pursued by it.
Minutes later, the bombers arrived, but nearly all Dragon Team mbers had dispersed and retreated, with almost no groups left together.
The bombers arrived overhead, and from high above, they could scarcely find a single person. Moreover, the bombers didn’t dare to fly low since they encountered anti-aircraft and anti-missile ambushes en route, confirming that the Dragon Team had weapons specially targeting bombers.
Unable to locate their enemy, the bombers could only circle above and drop bombs indiscriminately in the general area.
The Dragon Team mbers managed to retreat from the Kumogo plains without almost any casualties, reaching the complicated terrain of the mountainous assembly point.
Leopard conducted a headcount and breathed a sigh of relief, having lost only a dozen or so mbers. However, he noticed that Ye Fan was missing.
He imdiately tried to contact Ye Fan but could not get through, which raised an ominous foreboding.
It turned out Ye Fan’s communication equipnt had been shattered by the blast.
“Rest in place for half an hour!” Leopard declared through gritted teeth.
Though resting on the spot for half an hour while still close to the battlefield was dangerous, Mo Shang and a few other core mbers raised no objections, knowing in their hearts that Leopard’s decision was to wait for Ye Fan.
