Chapter 507 - Uproot (1/2)

The smoke and dust gradually settled. The fire on both sides of the road slowly died as well.

Rains were more frequent recently, and the forest was extremely humid. Other than where the cannon shells had fallen catching fire, it was difficult for the vegetation at other places to ignite.

Given how big of a commotion there had been, the military camp at the spatial gateway was long aware of this. A group of soldiers were currently rushing over in an armored vehicle.

However, by the time they got here, the battle had already ended. All they saw was the ruin left behind where Zhang Che was ambushed.

Not only that, the fog of poison from the poisonous shell had yet to fully scatter. The soldiers who got out of the vehicle to investigate all felt various degrees of dizziness, some of them even vomiting.

The soldiers were astonished. They quickly got back into the vehicle and got treated.

Luckily they were in a spacious valley. The mountain winds were strong and had scattered the poisonous air into the forests at the sides of the road. Otherwise, the soldiers might have died here for no reason.

The matter was quickly reported to the military in Yuanshan City. Not long after, the rumbling of engines were heard from far away. A series of military helicopters quickly arrived. Afterwards, teams of soldiers wearing gas masks jumped off the helicopters and investigated the situation.

——-

Zhang Che had never suffered such a huge loss before. After returning to Yuanshan City, he immediately notified Huang Juyun about the matter of him being ambushed.

Huang Juyun was shocked, and quickly came to a realization. “No wonder! The southwestern military just reported that a cannons-fired incident happened in the suburbs of Yuanshan City. The military there is still investigating this.

“Very well. I’ll relay the information to them immediately and have them investigate these so-called Freemasons and see what kind of organization they are. They actually dared to ambush our Huang family’s men. We’ll definitely remove them, stem and root!”

After understanding the truth about this ambush, Huang Juyun suddenly remembered something. He asked, “Oh, right, Xiaoche, are you injured?”

He didn’t seem to be too worried about Zhang Che’s safety. After all, they had only used cannons and missiles. It was almost impossible for them to hurt Zhang Che with just those. Also, Zhang Che had mentioned that they were prepared to mobilize epic-quality subdued beasts, but were scared off by him in the end!

A streak of black lines appeared across Zhang Che’s forehead. His father-in-law asked about his well-being only now? Wasn’t he a little too confident of Zhang Che?

“I’m fine, mostly, just that I suffered some slight internal injuries from the explosions. I’ll recover in a few days after consuming some spiritual honey. Luckily they didn’t use any nuclear warheads this time, or I might not have made it out alive.”

-As I expected. I knew this kid wouldn’t be in too bad shape,- Huang Juyun thought. Afterwards, he chuckled, “Don’t worry. Not just anyone can get their hands on nuclear warheads in Hua Xia. Thorough checks are made even if the government wants to use nuclear weapons. You don’t have to worry about anyone using nuclear weapons to attack you in the future.”

It made sense to Zhang Che, when he thought about it. Hua Xia wasn’t like other regions, after all. Except for the government, it really was unlikely for individuals or factions to obtain strategic military weapons like nuclear devices.

If those who wanted to ambush Zhang Che were really someone or some faction with the ability to get their hands on nuclear weapons, they wouldn’t have to use it anyways. The high-end forces they would have would be enough to ensure Zhang Che had no chance of escaping alive.

After ending the call with Huang Juyun, Zhang Che remained in the hotel and took out a bowl of spiritual honey, treating his injuries.

His organs were injured from the resulting shockwaves of the explosions. It wasn’t a small matter. If it were any other beastmasters in his place, they’d need to spend quite a lengthy amount of time to recuperate without any medicinal pills or spiritual herbs.
