Chapter 198: Chapter 33: A Mushroom Cloud in the Sky_3
Translator: 549690339 |
A deep pit the size of a small lake appeared in the center of the basin.
One beam of white light after another swiftly descended.
Just in time, dozens of critically injured apprentices were relocated.
Not all local apprentices in the North District are rich enough to afford the “Defender 3202” suit, let alone have extra witch tools for protection.
Among the pursuing soldiers, only a few well-off pure bloods or half bloods,
Managed to narrowly survive the massive explosion from the four great weapons, dozens of ordinary and the enhanced version of timed bombs.
But the impact, as intense as a mountain’s pressure, has left the survivors in unbearable pain and in clouded minds.
Those who weren’t immediately passed out were just incapacitated, which was already a blessing in disguise.
Anyway, they needed to take a rest.
By the river.
Elise put Link down, also landed herself, looked at the blood seeping from the corners of Link’s mouth, and asked, “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.”
Link shook his head, staring at the mushroom cloud that hadn’t dissipated for long, and asked, “Did Monroe and the others evacuate?”
“I don’t know.”
Elise’s gaze was also cast in that direction, but she apathetically said, “Who cares. They won’t die anyway, let them be eliminated if they must.”
These words might sound ordinary at first.
But Link couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart.
It was Elise who had told him about the function of the “Keychain”.
Now Elise confidently stated Monroe and the others won’t die, what does that mean?
It means that, regardless of how tense the conflict between pure bloods and half bloods, or how irreconcilable the family disputes are, they have reached an agreement not to actually slaughter each other during the contest between the two districts.
But the “Pure Blood Will”, Lucia’s Family, spared nothing to kill Link.
Storm Sea New Blood has no human rights!
That’s the reality.
Link had long since accepted it, although he’s come to acknowledge it deeper and once again.
Taking a deep breath, Link set aside these thoughts and said, “We shouldn’t stay here for long, let’s enter the underground stealth bunker.”
When setting up the traps, Link had calculated the explosive power of the great weapons and intentionally placed the underground bunker outside the range of the explosion.
A ample amount of defensive witchcraft, rune items, and witch tools were used to improve its defensive strength.
But now, Link was uncertain if the underground bunker would withstand the blast impacts from four great weapons and so many timed auto-destruction bombs.
Jasmine, the Brotherhood Group, and the Social Phobia Group, all followed the plan and retreated into it.
Hopefully, they won’t be buried alive.
As for Team Monroe and Team Elise, Elise herself didn’t seem to care, naturally Link wouldn’t give a damn either.
Each fends for themselves.
“You go ahead, I’ll wait a little longer.”
Elise declined Link’s suggestion, her attitude didn’t match her indifferent words about her companion’s safety.
“Okay.”
Link nodded, found an entrance to the tunnel, heading towards the real underground bunker deep underground.
Yes, there are two concealment works.
One is known to Monroe and Elise, the concealment work on the surface is used for rest and preparation for battle.
The other one is located deep underground to resist large explosions and defend against backstab.
Once Link’s figure disappeared and the mushroom cloud dissipated, Elise went down to the bottom of the pit and began to clear the battlefield.
If she encountered any enemies who still had a breath left, she would directly end their lives.
After searching for a while, she finally found Monroe and others, who were buried under the rubble of rocks and broken woods.
Through the shaky defense shield, Elise confirmed that there was no loss of Monroe and others, she couldn’t help letting out a sigh of relief.
“Good thing you’re alive!”
