78: Chapter 78 The Exploding Nuclear Bomb

Soon, all 208 people had arrived. kunpeng no. 1's engine roared as it took off instantly, flying away from this place of trouble.

By the time they left, the Star-Devouring Beast had already reached the edge of the city.

From a distance, the sense of oppression was incredibly strong.

Countless people still stranded in the city fled in despair toward the other side.

The Eagle Nation had also arranged for the military to evacuate the masses, but there were still unlucky individuals who couldn't leave.

In the following hour or so, this city was also completely destroyed by the Star-Devouring Beast.

Between it and the next city, there was an uninhabited area filled with forests.

The Eagle Nation had already issued an announcement that once the giant beast reached this forest, they would drop a high-yield hydrogen bomb.

Su Fan sent the compatriots in the spacecraft back to Great Xia. He didn't stay there but continued to fly the ship back to the Eagle Nation.

In a while, the Eagle Nation would drop a hydrogen bomb on the Star-Devouring Beast. He planned to pilot the ship and watch this spectacular event from a distance.

Of course, his ultimate goal was to ensure the Star-Devouring Beast didn't survive the nuclear strike; it would be troublesome if it escaped.

One must pull up weeds by the roots; if you don't kill the small one and let it escape, it will go home to find its elders.

The Eagle Nation sent several fighter jets to attack and provoke the Star-Devouring Beast from the front, keeping it moving toward the uninhabited area.

Su Fan also followed from a distance.

He discovered that the Star-Devouring Beast had a weakness.

It was that its movement speed was too slow.

He specifically asked the system about this situation, and the system gave an affirmative reply.

Because it had lived inside a planet for a long time without worrying about food or water, it didn't need much activity to find food or hunt prey, so the Star-Devouring Beast's mobility was relatively slow.

Of course, "relatively slow" was relative; with a height of 880 meters, a single step covered several hundred meters, so even the fastest car couldn't keep up with it.

"System, what yield of hydrogen bomb is needed to kill this Star-Devouring Beast?" Su Fan asked the system.

"This question requires 1,000 influence points. Would you like to pay to get the answer?" the system said coldly.

"Fine, fine. Can't an old customer get one for free?" Su Fan grumbled.

"Deducted."

"A 5-million-ton yield hydrogen bomb will suffice."

Su Fan frowned. "System, didn't you say before that kunpeng no. 1 could deal with a growth-stage Star-Devouring Beast?"

"However, the design power of kunpeng no. 1 is only about the same as those two ten-thousand-ton atomic bombs used on Japan."

"But you're saying it takes a 5-million-ton hydrogen bomb to kill this Star-Devouring Beast. That seems a bit contradictory."

"It's not contradictory," the system explained. "Have you forgotten that kunpeng no. 1 also has two Electromagnetic Railguns?"

"The Star-Devouring Beast likes heat and is also heat-resistant. It has a Cold Nuclear Fusion core inside its body, so it isn't afraid of nuclear radiation at all."

"Whether it's an atomic bomb or a hydrogen bomb, the damage they deal to it is greatly reduced."

"On the contrary, the purely physical attack of an Electromagnetic Railgun—a massive solid projectile accelerated electromagnetically—has the power to directly destroy the Star-Devouring Beast's body," the system explained.

"This is also why it's said that an adult Star-Devouring Beast cannot be killed by the Blue Planet's nuclear bombs alone."

"Because in an adult Star-Devouring Beast, the Cold Nuclear Fusion has already formed and its body is fully developed. Its tolerance for heat and nuclear radiation has reached a terrifying level," the system's mechanical voice continued.

Su Fan nodded.

"Red Queen, play the news. I want to see the Eagle Nation's latest movements."

"Yes, Captain," the Red Queen said obediently.

The spacecraft's large screen immediately began playing the Eagle Nation's news.

"Ladies and gentlemen!"

"Today is a day of grief!"

In the news, Chuan Jianguo stood on the podium, his expression sad and solemn.

"In less than a day, two cities have been destroyed by this beast!"

"Over 30,000 compatriots have died!"

Su Fan was stunned to hear this. That number is so fake!

Chuan Jianguo continued his impassioned speech.

"Now, our great pilot heroes have bravely lured the monster to an uninhabited area."

"We have tried all high-powered weapons except for nuclear bombs."

"But unfortunately, these weapons could not harm the monster in the slightest!"

"Now, in the name of the leader of the Eagle Nation, I authorize the military to use nuclear bombs against this monster!"

Below the podium, countless people from the Eagle Nation were incensed, wishing they could instantly transform into superheroes to kill the monster and save the Eagle Nation.

On the ship, Su Fan had the Red Queen turn off the news and quietly watched a large fighter jet flying in from the distance.

This fighter jet was carrying a nuclear bomb.

However, Su Fan didn't know exactly what the yield was.

"Red Queen, point the long-range cameras at the Star-Devouring Beast and turn all temperature sensors to the maximum. If the beast survives the strike, we'll finish it off immediately," Su Fan said with a serious expression.

"Yes, Captain."

In the distance, the fighter jet carrying the nuclear bomb rapidly approached the Star-Devouring Beast.

As it neared the attack range, the fighter jets previously responsible for luring the beast fled like crazy.

They didn't want to be killed by friendly fire!

From an altitude of ten thousand meters, a nuclear bomb fell rapidly, aimed directly at the Star-Devouring Beast on the ground!

Guided by the missile, the nuclear warhead struck the Star-Devouring Beast's head directly!

BOOM—

Time seemed to stand still. With the Star-Devouring Beast at the center, another sun rose!

A massive mushroom cloud then billowed upward!

Next, the shockwave swept forward with an unstoppable force, flattening all obstacles in its path!

Su Fan's kunpeng no. 1 was also affected by the shockwave, but given its defense, it wasn't a major problem.

As the nuclear bomb detonated, the eyes of the entire world were focused here.

Would a nuclear bomb actually work against this monster?

Chuan Jianguo was also feeling apprehensive, and the people of the Eagle Nation were nervous, praying with their hands clasped.

People from other countries had various thoughts, but most hoped it would work; they understood the principle that if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold.

If nuclear bombs were useless against this monster, it would only be a matter of time before every nation was destroyed one by one.

Inside kunpeng no. 1, Su Fan was about to fly closer once the shockwave passed, but unexpectedly, an even more violent explosion suddenly occurred!

BOOM!!!

This explosion sent kunpeng no. 1 flying!

After tumbling several times in the air, the ship's stabilization system finally fixed it in mid-air!

Although Su Fan had sat down and buckled his seatbelt before the detonation, the consecutive flips still left him dizzy.

"Holy crap, what's going on!"

"Why was there a second explosion?"

Su Fan was full of confusion and questions.

The Eagle Nation clearly dropped one nuclear bomb, so why were there two explosions?

And the second explosion was clearly much stronger than the first!

"System, do you know the reason?"

"I do!"

"1,000 influence points. Would you like to pay for the answer?" the system said calmly.

"Pay!"

"Tell me the answer quickly!"
