Chapter 767: Chapter 540 Go Crazy, Tremble
Mu Fan’s eyes traversed a hundred meters and fixed on the “Rain Swift” in the night sky.
Then lowering his head,
“Black, can you track the person behind the signal? I’m very interested.”
“Yes! Daring to sneak up on me unnoticed, let Master Black find him. There’s a 24-meter tall signal tower nearby that can perform shortwave reception simulation, currently trying to match frequency bands…”
“Interesting, this drone’s shortwave is 192-bit encrypted, and it’s such an obscure frequency. Thinking that would avoid Master Black’s detection, huh?”
Black was grumbling in Mu Fan’s ear but was becoming more and more down-to-earth.
Now Black had read some stuff on some forums and no longer called himself Lord Black, but Master instead. Whenever Mu Fan heard this, he couldn’t help but feel amused and helpless.
“Discovered already? Then there’s no more fun…”
The man with the baseball cap chuckled softly, while two faint red lights shimmered beneath the brim of his cap.
Without any warning, the “Rain Swift” that had been soaring high in the night sky suddenly plunged down, targeting Mu Fan’s direction, diving straight at him!
“Due to the target not being connected to the public network, unlocking is slow. Current progress on breaking the shortwave encryption is 20%…”
“32%…”
“47%…”
Black’s reports of progress kept ringing in Mu Fan’s ears, but he didn’t pay much attention. He would know soon enough, wouldn’t he?
However, when the “Rain Swift” suddenly dove, Mu Fan sensed it, and upon abruptly looking up, he just caught the dark green lights in the night sky flaring up.
Then, with an air of deadly stillness, it hurtled directly toward him.
But at this moment, apart from him, the crowd around seemed utterly oblivious.
Mu Fan’s brow was throbbing—that was a combat intuition similar to a sixth sense.
It told him danger was rapidly approaching!
“How much longer until the decryption is complete!” Mu Fan suddenly squatted halfway, his arms bracing against the ground, and as his upper body pushed down, his thigh muscles bulged. Then instantly, like a cannonball, he shot forward.
“Fifteen seconds left.”
Hearing Black’s reply, Mu Fan glanced back at the sky.
The “Rain Swift” that had been diving actually accelerated simultaneously as he sprinted away, and its target was unmistakably him.
Pedestrians around were astonished to see this young man suddenly sprinting down the street. What was up with this guy embarking on a hundred-meter dash on the pavement?
Had this young man taken the wrong medication? Nowadays, it was common to see youths seeking thrills using neurological drugs on the streets—was this guy one of them?
Amidst the shocked and puzzled stares of the onlookers, Mu Fan had already dashed over twenty meters in the blink of an eye.
“There’s no time.”
In mid-run, Mu Fan’s right hand reached into his tactical backpack and yanked out an object that, on closer inspection, turned out to be a 60-cm Manganese Steel Blade.
Leaping forward, Mu Fan forcefully twisted his body in mid-air. His eyes locked onto the “Rain Swift” diving towards him, and his arm flexing forcefully.
A shadow flung out from his hand.
The revolving Manganese Steel Blade flew straight into the air, and Mu Fan himself landed back on his feet.
He didn’t know the outcome of his throw, but he knew he had to bring that thing down.
While the onlookers were still in a daze, the spinning blade flew straight up into the sky, finally intersecting with the figure of the diving “Rain Swift.”
The sound of metal clashing in the night sky was softly carried away by the wind.
Yet, moments later, at the center of the clash between the blade and the “Rain Swift,” a glint of light sparked, then expanded a million times over into a massive orange-red fireball that surged in mid-air and spread out fiercely.
Boom!
An intense explosion occurred almost fifteen meters above the ground.
An airburst…
The figures below were swallowed by the violent shockwave before they even had time to react.
Mu Fan, who had hit the ground running and was already airborne, felt a fierce wave of heat strike his back, and he was knocked forward uncontrollably.
His body crashed through the glass window of a house, a ringing sound echoing in his head. Both of his hands deeply embedded into the flooring, finally dissipating the terrifying kinetic energy of the explosion.
Then, less than 0.1 seconds later, with the explosion’s epicenter as the radius, the glass of all buildings within a hundred meters was completely pulverized by the shockwave.
And the pedestrians on the street were instantly scalded into Fire Men, especially those few directly underneath the “Rain Swift” whose bodies were blasted to the ground, turning into charred remains.
That “Rain Swift” actually possessed destructive power comparable to a miniature nuclear bomb!
However, this was not a nuclear bomb after all; Testom still needed to fight on that land, and he certainly didn’t want to suffer through that disgusting nuclear radiation for no good reason.
The moment the violent explosion occurred, piercing alarm sounds erupted from the nearby streets, both large and small.
Zhongjing City is the administrative city of Blue Capital Star, and its monitoring of energy reactions far surpasses that of other cities.
Staff on duty at the Monitoring Department were stunned when they saw the sudden red warning illuminate the screens.
Someone… was attacking the city!?
“Alert! Explosion detected in E10 area!”
This urgent message was sent swiftly to the city’s garrison and alert troops.
Yet, no one could have imagined that this piercing alert was just the beginning.
A severe explosion came from beyond three streets in E9 district, where a bustling crowd was momentarily stunned, then an overwhelming fear and shock rapidly spread.
Within a mere three seconds, screams suddenly filled the square, and the entire crowd plunged into utter chaos.
Countless people swarmed towards the exits, shoving and trampling sounds ceaselessly emerging, cries and screams rising and falling in that moment.
Testom, who had just stepped out of E9 Electronic Plaza like a regular person, looked up and cracked a smile, revealing his sinister half-metallic face.
“Fatso, what era do you think it is now? How far could your method of attack even go? Hahaha, this is our style.”
“Explode, go mad, tremble…”
His laughter grew louder, his body shaking uncontrollably.
Amidst that laughter, Testom spread open his left palm, revealing a round red button in the center, resembling an old mine detonator.
A few dozen meters behind him, a crowd was scattering in all directions, but no one was running towards him.
Because the east exit was directly facing the fearsome direction of the explosion.
People were desperately avoiding this area, yet they didn’t know they had given up their last chance of survival.
In the midst of his maniacal laughter, Testom’s left hand clenched abruptly.
The red button was pressed directly, and an invisible shortwave spread out.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment…
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Starting from E9 Electronic Plaza, a chain of explosions spread westward, covering a width of over two hundred meters and a length of more than seven hundred meters, as a massive Fire Cloud erupted.
The ground fractured, countless mutilated bodies blasted into the sky.
Those in the very epicenter of the explosion, especially those closest to the trash bins, were swallowed by the inferno without their brains registering any response.
Those who had just fled the E9 district square, thinking they had escaped the site of the explosion, saw a blaze of red flash before their eyes, then felt their bodies lift off weightlessly.
The wave of fire dried up all the water in their bodies, the severe shockwave pulsed through their torsos, and their organs were instantly turned to mush.
Was this the end of the world…
Then consciousness faded.
Severe explosions occurred in E9, E8, and E7 districts.
A terrorizing and violent blast made half of the city district feel the ground shake beneath them.
Countless people looked up in horror, and the piercing air raid alarm rang throughout the city in this moment.
Officials at the Monitoring Department, watching the streets turn into a sea of flames on the screens, saw the countless bodies being blasted into the sky by the cameras. They trembled uncontrollably and then began to scream frantically:
“Connect to the Military Department, the Military Department! It’s a terrorist attack, this is a terrorist attack!”
The sky over the east district of Zhongjing City was completely bathed in red at this moment.
