Using the MC system to pretend spiritual revival

Chapter 246 Dividing the river into land, pointing to the ground as mountains

A sound like a deflation of an airlock was heard.

The missile, which had become bulky and cumbersome due to the hasty modifications and additions, trembled and burst into a dazzling flash of light and dust from its base.

And the missile's warhead, which is relatively long and contains more sophisticated instruments.

The red and gold color of the Dongfeng Li Huo made it look like a bullet magnified countless times.

As the preheating process ends, the support that holds the waist back retracts and disconnects automatically.

The missile stabilized, more propulsion units were activated, and the flash changed from red to pale blue.

Finally, under the watchful eyes of Zhou Wu and others, it soared straight into the sky with tremendous momentum and heat.

The long, narrow tail of the swallow resembles a giant, dazzling blade in the night.

After reaching a certain altitude, and following the preset program adjustments, it flew in an arc towards the surging tide several kilometers away, which, hampered by the fighter jets, had begun to spread out and resembled a giant human-headed monster.

The flash of the missile, given the distance, appeared to everyone like a distant spark slowly piercing the night sky.

As Zhou Wu watched the flames fly along their predetermined trajectory, beyond any further intervention, his tense expression gradually relaxed.

He seemed to have aged decades in an instant; his once strong and upright body gradually hunched over as he slowly sat down on the deck.

They remained silent, gazing at the hazy coastline beneath the monster tide at the edge of their vision.

“…Sigh…you…actually, I could press the launch button. According to the division of authority, I also have that permission.”

Seeing his colleague and friend sitting dejectedly on the ground, Lao Zhang sighed and bent down to sit down next to him.

At this moment, Zhou Wu was only staring at the gradually descending flame.

As if relieved of some burden, or perhaps already knowing the outcome, he became less reserved and simply shook his head slightly.
“...I know that you, Xiao Wang, and Xiao Li all have this authority.”

"But no matter who it is, once they press this activation button, the impact of this specially made nuclear bomb will cause tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of deaths, regardless of whether there are any survivors in the city."

"This thing is still an experimental product, only in its early stages. We brought it here just to serve as a trump card and to make a splash."

"No one can predict the specific power and performance of the launch, including its subsequent international impact. It is necessary to have someone of sufficient weight to bear the responsibility."

He paused for a moment, and a slight twitch appeared on his face, which looked even older:
"...Since such a person must exist, why can't it be me?"

This series of words left Old Zhang, who was standing to the side, and several elderly men in military uniforms of similar age behind him speechless.

Finally, after opening and closing his mouth for a long time, Old Zhang finally uttered a sentence:
"You're just so stubborn..."

"For people like us, no matter how much public opinion there is or how bad the impact is, at most we'll be dismissed and go home to farm. But you're the captain of a ship and the head of a region!"

"A bunch of people are scrutinizing you with a magnifying glass all day long. You've pulled this stunt today, aren't you just putting yourself in a hot seat... Sigh—!"

After saying all that, Old Zhang could only sigh as if he had lost his temper and said no more.

They simply looked up, staring at the direction where the firelight was falling.

Many people at this moment are doing the same thing.

Unknown weapons bring unknown power and range.

In fact, when the missile was loaded onto the ship, the research and development department set the safety test firing range to over 50 kilometers.

At this point, the ships were less than 20 kilometers apart.

Although there are many unknowns and a lack of experimental data, the safety standards have been expanded to include a greater degree of tolerance.

But this also illustrates my own uncertainty. In the next moment, when the specially made nuclear bomb exploded in mid-air, no one knew whether the people present would survive.

This was also done before launch, when all other personnel, including the air formation, were dispersed.

Even on the lead battleship at this time, apart from the old guys standing at the bow, only the minimum standard technical personnel who had understood the pros and cons and chose to stay and continue working remained.

To seize this rare opportunity to gain international recognition, Xin Guo has made ample preparations.

Originally, no matter what, things shouldn't have come to this point, but the problem is that since the last time, border defense has been plagued by various issues and problems have arisen one after another.

First came urban riots, then a marine catastrophe, and now a monstrous black cloud hangs over the entire country, refusing to dissipate, and the whole situation has completely collapsed.

Thinking about all this, Zhou Wu, who was casually sitting on the deck, couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"I'm getting old..."

The next few minutes were silent. Whether they knew the inside story or not, everyone was caught up in the atmosphere and stared intently at the trail of flames that was already falling downwards at the end of their line of sight.

Meanwhile, inside the missile, the propulsion phase, which serves as the fuel tank, had already been jettisoned halfway through its flight.

Only the warhead and the rear half of the casing covered with talismans remained stable, rapidly tearing through the air with the tip pointing downwards.

As the altitude approached 6,000 meters, the missile struck just at the end of the slower-moving swarm of monsters.

The multi-ton missile, carrying immense force, required no external power; the sheer force of its propulsion and acceleration was enough to send the swarming monsters flying and tearing them apart.

When the debris came into contact with the high temperature of the missile itself, it was charred and carbonized.

As they got closer, the monsters became increasingly dense, clustering together like a surging tide.

After falling several thousand meters further, the missile's outer shell was deformed by the impact of the densely packed, enormous heads, and the kinetic energy it carried had been almost entirely dissipated by the flesh and blood.

At this moment, when the missile finally came to a slow stop under the frantic howling of the heads and fell over in the monster horde, it was already two thousand meters above the ground.

This seemed to trigger some kind of signal.

Inside the somewhat twisted and deformed missile tip, protected by a thick alloy shield, lies a claustrophobic space illuminated by the light of various runes and cables, less than a meter in size.

Among them, a zombie with its limbs cut off, leaving only its torso and head, is being held in mid-air by several metallic clips.

Some red cinnabar strokes and cables were buried deep inside the body of this zombie, which was still struggling despite all that.

At the instant the distance reached two kilometers, a small device used as a measuring instrument suddenly burst into sparks.

The zombie, stimulated by some kind of incident, began to convulse violently, and a signal that was difficult for science to detect, rather than a spell, spread out.

Under the stimulation of the electric current, the gold and red talismans covering the nuclear warhead located below the missile warhead, along with the missile's already somewhat twisted and deformed outer shell, lit up simultaneously.

A blinding light and intense heat suddenly exploded, and the specially made composite shell quietly melted in the scorching temperature.

The talismans on the surface, which had been activated and were shimmering with light and shadow, were suddenly scattered by the impact and expanded into a hemispherical shape.

As each talisman was thrown into the air, the frequency of its flashing light increased.

A few breaths later, the first talisman suddenly expanded and exploded in a burst of light and flames.

Like a chain reaction, the thousands upon thousands of talismans that had been thrown out began to reach their limits one after another and exploded with a bang.

Propelled by the flash and impact of a nuclear bomb, the talisman was thrown to unimaginable distances.

Between the gaps in the black waves piled up by monsters in the sky, scorching red light gradually flowed like fire.

The most violent attack methods from modern technology, and the flames from the extraordinary rules shaped by some powerful being, simultaneously scorched everything around them. From the outside, however, beams of light shone from within the writhing, grotesque horde of monsters.

A perfectly shaped, scorching white sphere spread outwards, silently engulfing the monsters that had no time to react or dodge.

After a few breaths, the intense wind pressure and the deafening roar that almost shattered eardrums suddenly spread out.

The thin clouds in the sky and the dark, inky sea below were almost simultaneously squeezed together by this force, creating a huge spherical depression.

The impacts transformed into waves, surging and spreading in all directions.

The intense light and heat churned up the seawater, transforming it into unprecedentedly large waves that crashed outwards.

On the battleship, which was more than ten nautical miles away from where the ramming had just started, the wind pressure carried a large amount of seawater down on its head.

In an instant, before anyone could dodge, everyone on the bow of the ship was drenched, and the wind pressure before and after the impact threw them into a tumble.

"Cough cough cough—!..."

Amidst the violent coughing, Zhou Wu disregarded everything else, raised his hand to wipe the warm, salty seawater from his face, and stared wide-eyed at the sky.

The ball of light that exploded in mid-air amidst the black tide of monsters had already devoured most of the monster horde that stretched for hundreds or even thousands of kilometers, and was still expanding outwards.

Below all this, the island's coastline was also filled with intense light, making it impossible to see its original appearance.

Faced with this shocking scene, Zhou Wu was initially surprised, but then felt only bitterness.

He believed there were still survivors in the city, and even survivors from the Kingdom of Xin, but given all the choices before him, he could only choose the one with the least risk.

"..."

In the silent gaze, the intense light blurred the vision of their wide-eyed eyes.

In his daze, he even saw a figure floating in front of the expanding, blazing white sphere.

I couldn't help but raise my hand and rub my eyes hard.

When his vision cleared a little and he looked up again, Zhou Wu froze.

It's not an illusion or a misperception!
There really was a person, a figure standing in mid-air against the backdrop of blazing white light!

Although the night was dark, the figure was exceptionally clear against the backdrop of the explosion spreading out like a blazing white sun.

A plain, unadorned moon-white Taoist robe fluttered abnormally amidst the fierce wind and impact, seemingly unaffected by the external environment.

The more he looked at the figure, the more familiar it seemed, and the more he stared at it, the more horrified he became, his mouth agape in shock.

Zhou Wu strained to open his eyes wide, his pupils almost bursting at the seams, reflecting the graceful figure against the backdrop of the exploding flames.

Sensing that aura of detachment from the outside world, as if it belonged to someone not of this world, a name suddenly surged into my mind:

"Nothing...nothing...! Cough cough cough! The Immortal of Nothingness!?"

His throat, taut from several intense emotional ups and downs, choked out a question that sounded almost like a roar.

But it wasn't just him; that figure could be anywhere, whether it was on a retreating plane, a ship, or somewhere else.

You can see them clearly as long as you look up.

Under the silent, shocked gaze of the crowd, the figure calmly and slowly turned around from behind amidst the intense light and heat that would be fatal to an ordinary person.

He turned his head and looked out at the sea.

next moment.

A gentle, peaceful voice, seemingly weathered by time and stripped of all artifice, clearly reached the ears of everyone who witnessed this scene:

"rise."

As he finished speaking, he raised his hand and pointed to the sea below, waving it gently.

Then, under everyone's stunned gaze, the entire sea surface, which stretched for an unknown distance, seemed to be separated by an invisible hand, leading down to the deep, unseen seabed.

The water walls on both sides are straight as if cut by a knife or axe. The waves are surging, but they are blocked by an invisible force and cannot advance an inch.

Before people could recover from this shocking scene, they saw the person standing in mid-air raise their hands slowly.

At the same time, a series of rumbling sounds emanated from the bottom of the separated, deep trench, growing ever closer.

In an instant, the outline of a massive rock gradually emerged and rose rapidly as if it were growing.

Until it rises to a thousand meters, blocking the gale, obscuring the view, and stopping the waves.

It was like a gray wall, blocking the nuclear explosion and the fleet.

All of this was done as if it were just something done casually.

Without any visible movement, the ethereal figure suddenly transformed into a golden ray of light and vanished from the spot in the next instant.

When they reappeared, they were already standing at the bow of the ship, in front of a group of officers who were so shocked that they were numb with shock.

No words were spoken.

He made a strange hand seal with his fingers and waved it toward the empty space to the side.

In an instant, a series of golden lights flashed, exactly the same as before.

As if a video had stopped and dropped frames, the entire ship's deck was suddenly filled with a dense crowd of people dressed in various outfits and with different expressions.

It looked to be tens of thousands in size, almost filling all the gaps except for the weapons section.

Just then, a series of footsteps approached from afar, and a group of people who had just run off the landing helicopter quickly walked to the bow of the ship.

As soon as Li Qingfeng, who was walking at the front, appeared, he was suddenly stunned. He then quickly ran forward and bowed in greeting.
"Master!"

"Hmm~"

Lu Gu nodded slightly, a smile on his face.

At the same time, without making a sound, they recalled the large group of invisible cattle, horses, and villagers that had just been released, and also removed the barrier blocks that were separating the water surface.

Everything is orchestrated in the mind, with commands activated instantly.

After doing all this, he slightly raised his hand and helped his little apprentice up.

Looking at the unwilling expression on his face, it was easy to tell that he had tried his best but was still powerless, which must have been a blow to him.

He habitually began to comfort her:
"Qingfeng, you did very well this time."

"But remember, success and failure are both possible, so don't lose heart."
