Chapter 672 435: Do Your Best to Kill Me [5]

The moment the mushroom cloud appeared, an invisible electromagnetic pulse swept outward in all directions.

In a flash, all electronic devices within a several-kilometer radius were destroyed.

The people watching the livestream saw the various camera feeds dissolve into static, flicker twice, and then go completely black.

Only a few cameras, located at an extreme distance, remained active.

However, no one needed the livestream to witness the earth-shattering scene anymore.

Even from hundreds or thousands of kilometers away, people could clearly see a blinding flash of light detonate in the sky.

The light was so dazzling that it momentarily outshone the sun, illuminating the entire sky as if it were day.

The thick cloud cover was no match for this destructive force, torn to shreds by the shockwave.

All who witnessed this scene were struck with terror, their bodies trembling.

They all knew what it meant.

A nuke.

The ultimate product of human ingenuity, a symbol of destruction and power.

At this moment, this ultimate weapon had finally revealed its true might to the world.

"They actually used a nuke! A fitting end for him, I suppose," someone said, their voice trembling.

No one argued with that statement.

In everyone's eyes, no matter how powerful or terrifying that being was, there was absolutely no chance of survival in the face of such a world-ending explosion.

This understanding wasn't limited to the common people.

Even the High-Level Yin Beasts were thoroughly convinced. After all, they understood exactly how powerful that blast was.

If even one of them were caught in it, they would face certain death.

...

「On the outskirts of Shenmu City.」

Atop a mountain peak, several figures stood silently, shoulder to shoulder.

Their gazes were fixed on the blinding flash of light that had just erupted in the distant sky.

"So this is the power of a nuke. Truly formidable! Even from so far away, I can still feel those terrifying energy fluctuations."

The goatee-wearing old man stared intently at the blinding light, the hand stroking his beard pausing for a moment.

The several eyes on his face blinked incessantly, filled with shock.

The other High-Level Yin Beasts felt the same. In their eyes, human bodies were pathetically weak, yet the weapons they developed were utterly terrifying.

"That guy was far too arrogant. He really didn't even try to dodge! With his power, if he had tried to escape in time, he might have had a chance to survive."

An old crone at the side spoke, her voice hoarse, as she glanced at the livestream monitor before them.

She had clearly seen that in the final moment before the nuke detonated, Hu Qi was still sitting on that rooftop.

He made no move to escape.

Hearing this, the others gave noncommittal responses.

"The more powerful someone is, the more confident they are in themselves! Besides, the power of a nuke is too terrifying. Even if he had wanted to escape, he probably wouldn't have had the chance.

It's just a pity we couldn't capture him alive. I was quite interested in the things he had on him!"

The beautiful woman spoke with a smile, her tone full of regret.

They had come this time just in case.

But now, it seemed they had been overly cautious; it wasn't necessary at all.

As this thought crossed her mind, she seemed to recall something and changed the subject.

"Now that this problem is solved, it's time to interrogate these people about their origins."

The moment she finished speaking, her gaze shifted to the side.

There, a large, heavyset man knelt on the ground, bound by layers of chains formed from Yin Energy, unable to move an inch.

Moreover, whether due to the inherent chill of the Yin Energy or some other reason, the fat man's face was rather pale.

Now, feeling their gazes upon him, his body couldn't help but tremble.

"That man is dead. Now, are you ready to tell us who you people are?"

San Hui looked down imperiously at the fat man kneeling on the ground.

This fat man was a human, yet he could use a special Ability.

It allowed his body to expand to ten meters tall. After transforming, not only did his defense increase dramatically, but his strength also became astonishing. Ordinary bullets couldn't even break his skin.

These people had appeared before, during the siege against that man.

Naturally, the Yin Beasts had noticed this.

So they had taken action and captured a few of them.

These people all had different Abilities.

When it came down to it, almost all of them possessed strength comparable to a Basic Level Yin Beast.

This couldn't help but pique their interest.

As Yin Beasts who had ruled this world for hundreds of years, they had never encountered such a situation.

What was strange was that according to a population data scan, all of these people were unregistered.

It was as if they had all popped out of thin air; no information could be found on any of them.

They had tried to interrogate them for information.

But these guys were surprisingly tough.

They wouldn't reveal a single thing about their origins.

Even when subjected to torture, anyone who seemed willing to talk would suddenly die on the spot for some unknown reason.

This left them, for a time, unable to figure out where these people came from.

According to the fat man, they seemed to be under some kind of restriction, only able to reveal the full truth after the death of the Black Banner Young Man.

At this moment, the fat man, who had been trembling under the gazes of the High-Level Yin Beasts, suddenly developed a bizarre expression on his pale face after hearing her words.

"Are you... are you sure you're not mistaken? How can you be certain that man is dead?" the fat man asked hesitantly.

Before San Hui could respond, the goatee-wearing old man let out a soft chuckle.

"That man's strength was indeed impressive, but he was at the epicenter of a nuclear explosion. No matter how great his abilities, survival is absolutely impossible."
