I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

"Come on!"

Mu Mu pulled Yan Ziming and Ye Qianxue away quickly, traveling more than ten kilometers. When they came out again, the three women looked at the six mushroom clouds rising in the distance and fell silent.

They arrived too late...

28. Caught off guard

"Report: All five Dongfeng missiles have been launched."

A general reported the situation to Mo Sheng.

Where are they now?

"Target location reached."

Mo Sheng frowned slightly, as if he had missed something of utmost importance.

But she just couldn't remember what it was, which made Mo Sheng very anxious.

Yan Shan is guarding Xiyue City, another bridgehead in the Sichuan Military and Administrative Region. Mo Sheng is in charge of Panzhihua. The Great Sage is next to her, and the other two from Odyssey are with Yan Shan.

These five men formed the strongest defensive line in the Sichuan Military Administrative Region, and even high-ranking officials would find it difficult to defeat them.

"I wonder how Zimo is doing."

Disturbed and confused, Mo Sheng tried to distract herself by thinking of other things, and she thought of Yan Ziming.

If anything were to happen to Yan Ziming and Ye Qianxue, the blow to China would undoubtedly be extremely heavy.

After a moment of worry, the sight of more than a dozen artificial suns lighting up in the distance robbed her of her thoughts, as if the world was facing its end and was about to sweep over this place, wiping everything out.

Five Dongfeng missiles have reached their designated positions and detonated.

Mo Sheng has strong confidence in this round of nuclear strikes.

Even if you have over a million mutated species, with an average strength far exceeding that of a typical occupied area, so what?

A nuclear strike, representing the highest destructive power of human civilization, would wipe out most of them!

Only those powerful enough can survive a nuclear strike, starting at least at the S-class level. Even if you are SSS-class, it won't help if you are in the core of the explosion, unless you specialize in defense, you will still die.

Five Dongfeng missiles, with a total nuclear yield of over four million tons, can deal a heavy blow to these "distinguished guests" from western Tibet, weakening them multiple times along the way. This way, when they arrive at the city gates, the pressure on the Sichuan military will not be so great.

Their formations were relatively scattered, but they still managed to drop several nuclear bombs at once, covering an area of ​​dozens of miles around.

Mo Sheng estimated that by the time they reached this point, the original million-strong force would only have 600,000 to 700,000 left.

A moment later, a series of strong winds swept in from afar, carrying with them heat. The violent blast from the nuclear explosion could be felt even from this distance, like a typhoon had struck, with dust and sand filling the air.

"Hmm? Why do I feel a little shaky?"

"It's obvious you've been charging too much. I told you to be more restrained in normal times, but you didn't listen. Now that it's war, you're all scared, aren't you?"

"Wait, what... eh?"

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Medic, quick...come...go ugh—"

"Holy crap, your face is covered in blood!"

"Aaaaaaah!!! My eyes, I can't see anything! All I see are sparks!"

Within a minute, hundreds of soldiers from the tens of thousands already on the city wall fell, and thousands more suffered from a series of unusual and severe reactions such as bleeding, dizziness, and weakness.

The army was in an uproar. People kept falling down, and at the same time, some instruments and equipment malfunctioned, turning the display screens into a "snowy white screen," causing a new round of trouble.

"What's going on?" This quickly caught the attention of Mo Sheng and other high-ranking generals.

Mo Sheng descended the city wall and casually steadied a swaying soldier. When the soldier turned his head, Mo Sheng was startled.

His face was covered in blood, and the scars left from past battles, which had long since dried, were now bleeding like fresh wounds, with blood flowing out uncontrollably.

"this is!"

Mo Sheng's expression changed drastically.

With her knowledge, she quickly deduced several possible symptoms, and after eliminating them one by one, only one remained—

Nuclear radiation!

Only now did she realize that these mutated species came from that extraordinary place, from that land that had been completely destroyed by nuclear radiation!

A group of over a million beasts that have lived in that heavily polluted land for years—the combined radioactive material on these million mutated species is likely far more terrifying than the radiation released by a nuclear strike…

When highly radioactive materials are detonated by a nuclear bomb, the radioactive material will travel to extremely far places with the violent airflow.

Mo Sheng felt a chill run down her spine.

She recalled how Tibet was destroyed in the same way; a nuclear strike spread radioactive material throughout the entire province, and it remains a forbidden zone for humanity to this day.

Although the consequences this time will not be as severe as before, it will still cause great harm to the soldiers on the front lines.

Unfortunately, it's too late to realize this now. The nuclear bomb has already detonated amidst the wave of mutated species, and the radioactive material has been blown here by the airflow. The soldiers have successively suffered from nuclear radiation, and there's no way to undo this bitter outcome. We must take countermeasures immediately.

Suddenly, Mo Sheng felt a slight urge to vomit, a very mild but real urge, accompanied by dizziness and a distorted vision.

"?!"

The great sage on the city wall also had his brows furrowed. A transparent prism appeared in front of him, and the light from all directions was refracted by it, converging into rays that shot into the distance.

Among them, several rays made Mo Sheng extremely uneasy; one ray shone on a boulder, and the boulder was instantly tainted with an ominous aura, so much so that even just looking at it caused a stinging pain in his eyes.

"Everyone, get behind the bunkers! Don't come out! This is nuclear radiation! Anyone with symptoms, get back to the city for treatment immediately!"

Mo Sheng shouted anxiously, and waves like boiling sea surged from her body. A curtain of celestial light descended from the sky, blocking the way and cutting off most of the battlefield. The violent air currents were blocked, and the dust and impurities mixed in with them were instantly annihilated upon touching the celestial light.

The prism created by the Great Sage also expanded with the wind, reaching a length of over a thousand meters, refracting the spilled nuclear radiation and sending it far away.

The situation was urgent, and they had no choice but to withdraw their troops first. They could only let the soldiers in the city who hadn't been exposed to the radioactive materials put on protective suits and take over. They couldn't just abandon the city walls because of the nuclear radiation, could they?

Immediately afterwards, Mo Sheng issued a top order: all outdoor activities in the city must cease immediately, and everyone must take refuge in the nearest building; going outside is strictly prohibited.

"Quickly! Everyone hide inside the houses! Don't come out!"

"You guys, put on your protective suits now, let's get ready to go!"

"Hospital, please prepare for a blood transfusion immediately! Move all the blood out of the blood bank! Our staff urgently need a blood transfusion!"

"The blood bank may not have enough blood! We need to replenish it from the citizens!"

With Mo Sheng's order, the entire Sichuan military and administrative region was mobilized. The situation had reached its worst point, and the slightest mistake could result in huge casualties and social unrest.

There is also some bad news: following ordinary people, people with superpowers have also begun to experience adverse reactions.

Their symptoms appeared later, and the timing varied from low to high, all influenced by previous nuclear radiation.

Mo Sheng was utterly devastated. This was a huge problem. Not every superhuman has the means to resist nuclear radiation, and the defenses of the entire city wall were at their weakest point.

Given the current situation, how can we hold onto Panzhihua City?

The most critical issue is the current battlefield environment. Once fighting breaks out, radioactive materials will spread again with the explosions of artillery fire, creating a vicious cycle.

How is this played?

29. Temporary Measures

Xiyue City, Sichuan Military Administrative Region.

Yan Shan immediately sensed something was wrong as soon as the radioactive material spread with the strong winds.

He calmly and collectedly issued the same order as Mo Sheng. At the same time, his body rapidly swelled and grew larger, spewing out countless strands of primordial energy from every pore of his body, vaguely enveloping the entire frontal battlefield, making it only a blurry expanse.

Within it, a towering figure, exhaling clouds and mist, slowly rose higher, gradually covering the sky, its Rank-level pressure stirring up a whirlwind of sandstorms.

"It's the marshal!"

The moment those troops whose morale was beginning to waver saw this towering figure, their unease was instantly dispelled, a sense of pride surged in their hearts, and their morale soared.

However, boosting morale is not enough to protect them from the harm of nuclear radiation, and Yan Shan needs to come up with a solution as soon as possible.

The mountain qilin roared, and the boundless primordial yellow energy was like a continuous mountain range, each strand weighing tens of millions of pounds. Everything was frozen in place, unable to advance an inch.

Immediately afterwards, some dust settled rapidly. After it all landed, the earth turned over, and the churning soil and debris buried the radioactive dust thousands of meters underground, completely isolating it from the effects of the radioactive dust.

All people could hear was a rumbling sound from the ground, like an earthquake, then silence, and no one felt that nauseous feeling anymore.

Underground is the best place to resist nuclear contamination and a powerful tool to isolate it. Early nuclear waste was buried deep underground, waiting for time to erase it. Now, Yanshan is recreating this process, only in a more brutal and simple way.

"The Marshal's methods are extraordinary!"

"My goodness, a major crisis was resolved just like that! The Marshal is incredibly powerful!"

The soldiers were overjoyed and cheered. A low growl came from the mountain unicorn's mouth: "All personnel, check the equipment for any problems. Everyone take cover behind the bunkers. Transfer the wounded to the city for treatment. The rest of you, stay at your posts. Hurry!"

Things were far from as easy as people thought. The gusts of wind generated by the nuclear explosion did not dissipate quickly and continued to blow radioactive dust over.

Even after dissipating, the radioactive dust particles that were already engulfed in the high atmosphere will drift with atmospheric movement and continuously settle along their path. This will form a distinct settling zone, which is a forbidden area for humans and should not be entered.

Clearly, the battlefield here also falls within the scope of this 'sinking zone'.

Even smaller dust particles can drift to more distant places, posing a serious threat to people in other areas.

Unless Yan Shan can continue to protect this place, but he has already exhausted all his strength, it is too much for him to continue.

"Bring Huang Tao here."
