214: Chapter 214 Thunder Fusion

Unrecognized!

"Pfft! Haha, Dean Xia, did Jiang Chen develop a brand-new intelligent mecha behind your back?"

Seeing Xia Zhongxun's frustration, the Dragon Group members couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Xia Zhongxun frowned. "That's impossible. This thing... might not be a mecha... I think it looks a bit like a Horse Terracotta Warrior."

"Whether it's a mecha or not, it can't possibly be my match."

Commander Long Kui stepped forward, preparing to test his strength against this Horse Terracotta Warrior.

After all, Commander Long Kui was the founder of the Dragon Group and a standard S-sequence. Currently, apart from those in the Super S-sequence whom he couldn't defeat, no one else was his match.

Moreover, as far as he knew, the level of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals series of intelligent mecha was only A-sequence. Even if this Horse Terracotta Warrior was a brand-new intelligent mecha, it shouldn't exceed the A-sequence by too much, right?

Thinking of this!

Commander Long Kui stepped forward and threw a punch at General Meng Tian.

General Meng Tian caught Commander Long Kui's massive fist with one hand and snorted coldly, "You're asking for trouble!"

As the words fell, he directly threw the nearly two-meter-tall Commander Long Kui right out of Base No. 7.

Bang!

The dignified big boss of the Dragon Group, Commander Long Kui, landed upside down on the ice sheet outside with his limbs in the air.

The Gene Warriors on the nearby transport planes were dumbfounded by the sight.

"Holy crap, who just sent Commander Long flying?"

"That's incredible!"

"Could it be that the aliens are back?"

While everyone was marveling in shock,

Commander Long Kui shot up from the ice. He patted the snow and slush off his head and waved to the Gene Warriors, saying, "I'm fine."

After saying that,

He fell flat on his face and passed out.

Having been blocked from entering Base No. 7, Xia Zhongxun and his group had no choice but to retreat.

Commander Long Kui was the strongest individual combatant present.

Since even he was casually tossed out, anyone else would just be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Furthermore!

They seemed to remember that there were several other Horse Terracotta Warriors following Jiang Chen at the time.

"What on earth is Jiang Chen up to?"

Xia Zhongxun shook his head, planning to ask Jiang Chen once he came out on his own.

They dragged Commander Long Kui onto the transport plane.

Half a day passed.

Although the Arctic was currently in a state of polar day, according to the time, it was already night.

The group went into the transport planes to rest.

Jiang Chen remained inside Base No. 7, and there was no sign of him coming out.

As it approached midnight, Xia Zhongxun couldn't stay awake much longer. He gazed at Base No. 7 and muttered to himself, "What is this kid messing around with?"

After saying that,

He went to sleep.

Inside Base No. 7.

At this moment, Jiang Chen was surrounded by a massive net of lightning, suspended in mid-air.

Countless Lightning Qi particles swirled around him, passing through his body and tempering it. A slight curve hung on the corner of Jiang Chen's mouth; he looked like he was enjoying it, showing no signs of discomfort.

As the lightning net expanded, his entire body began to rotate, flip, and turn upside down.

But no matter what, he didn't open his eyes, as if he were in a fishbowl, letting his body spin freely...

The night passed.

The clothes on Jiang Chen's body had been completely worn away by the Lightning Qi particles.

His skin gradually took on the luster of thunder and lightning.

He looked as if he had been coated in a layer of mercury, appearing quite miraculous.

"This is the process of Thunder Fusion."

Ren Xiao, standing guard not far away, watched the changes in Jiang Chen's body and made a judgment.

As Terracotta Warriors, they also had high-energy particle columns in their bodies, but those were columns of ordinary matter particles, not Qi, and certainly not Lightning Qi.

What Jiang Chen was absorbing were Lightning Qi particles, a type of high-energy matter particle.

When enough of these particles condensed in the body, Thunder Fusion could occur.

That is, fusion would occur within the body.

"Only because the Inheritor himself absorbed a bolt of lightning can he withstand these Lightning Qi particles. Otherwise, an ordinary person would have exploded and died long ago."

Ren Xiao murmured.

An average S-sequence would also find it unbearable to absorb so many Lightning Qi particles.

But Jiang Chen absorbed such a vast amount without any reaction, continuing to greedily take them in...

Two days passed.

A week passed.

Jiang Chen was still in Base No. 7, with no movement at all.

Xia Zhongxun and the others finally became vigilant.

It wasn't just because Jiang Chen hadn't come out of Base No. 7 for a week, but because the energy monitoring equipment showed that inside Base No. 7, an energy comparable to nuclear fusion was constantly growing.

"What's going on? Energy comparable to nuclear fusion? Are there a thousand atomic bombs in there?"

Xia Zhongxun was horrified.

Taking the 'Fat Man' atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki as an example, it would take 1,000 such bombs detonating simultaneously for their energy to rival nuclear fusion.

And now, they were actually detecting an energy response comparable to nuclear fusion inside.

Does that mean there's something on the level of 1,000 atomic bombs inside?

This discovery terrified everyone.

Overnight, they moved a large amount of equipment, transport planes, and other things far away, clearing out everything they could from Area 51.

"What about Jiang Chen?"

Commander Long Kui asked Xia Zhongxun.

Although he was a super-strong Gene Warrior comparable to the S-sequence, he still felt an instinctive fear in the face of an energy response equivalent to 1,000 atomic bombs.

This was too terrifying!

However, it also made Commander Long Kui wonder what Jiang Chen was doing inside and why he hadn't come out yet.

"Could the energy response equivalent to 1,000 atomic bombs inside be caused by him?"

At the thought of this, Commander Long Kui shuddered.

If that were true, wouldn't Jiang Chen's strength far exceed his own?

"And then there's his wife, suppressing all the Gene Warriors and becoming an aircraft carrier commander..."

"This couple... are really playing the long game!"

Commander Long Kui couldn't help but complain in his heart.

They were hiding too much!

Looking at the constantly climbing energy response on the monitoring equipment, Xia Zhongxun frowned and said, "If Jiang Chen can survive such an energy response, he'll become a god... If he can't, he's most likely turned to ash by now."

"..."

Cold sweat broke out on Commander Long Kui's forehead.

If he were in that level of energy, even his ashes probably wouldn't exist.

Faced with this steadily rising energy response, everyone withdrew from the Eskimo Ice Sheet.

Before long, this news also reached the Sister Li, which was still cruising near the Antarctic continent.

"What! You left my husband alone in the Eskimo Ice Sheet?"

Xue Yao was extremely anxious.

She wanted to rush to the Arctic Circle overnight.

Xia Zhongxun responded with a bitter smile, "Commander Qin, it's not that we left him there, but the place he's staying in has produced a reaction comparable to nuclear fusion. We can't get in."

"With our physical constitutions, if we go in, we'll probably be turned to ash."

Xue Yao didn't believe it. She applied for leave overnight.

Then.

Taking her son and daughter, she rode a Black Eagle and rushed to the Arctic Circle through the night.
