Chapter 401: Three Explosions

Translator: Lonelytree

When the first explosion happened, Lou Xiaoning and the other researchers were not far froear but they were still blown several metres away from the blast wave When they came to, all of them stood up and ran However, they experienced from first hand the explosion did not contain any flay It was like the air itself had exploded The best analogy was that of an expanding balloon It reached its maximum size and thus had no other option but to pop

After the explosion, the size of the mutated area reached 30000 cubic metres, it had expanded about 100 times The bolometer recorded a value of 137Gy/h, the radiation had increased by 1000 ti from the time Tian Fuhou reported the incident, only 4 hours had passed

The second explosion occurred at 16: 03, 6 hours fro from the previous one The mutated area expanded to 3,000,000 cubic metres or 3 cubic kilometres It too had expanded 100 times The radiation value was recorded at 252Gy/h By then, Tian Fuhou’s entire tree farrounds around it The soil darkened and the air was heavily radiated The trees that took decades to grow, the pines, the locust trees, the s… they were perishi+ng before one’s eyes They were literally pulled out of thin air

The hearts of the people at headquarters quivered as they watched Tian Fuhou and Mai Dong’s decades of hard work being undone The forest ed up by the abyss and the land turned back into a wasteland When the last tree disappeared, the explosion seemed to cease The hypothesis was that it was the trees that caused the explosion and subsequently expansion of the mutated area But ould that be the case? What was so special about these trees that they could control the explosion?

However, this hypothesis was disproved about 10 hours later when the third explosion occurred at 02:18 on the h the area only expanded 10 times, it had already reached a size of 30 cubic kilometres and the radiation value was at 306Gy/h The entire Bei Mian Village was over

Thankfully, there was no life loss All of the villagers had already been evacuated That included the pets, livestock and even wildlife Radiation poisoning could cause genetic ht lead to mutated creatures or mutated parasites At the same time, evacuation was underway at all 6 srown from 300 cubic rowth of 1,000,00 times! If this speed was maintained, within the next day, the whole Mo Bei would be turned into a wasteland and then within a week, the whole state would be destroyed Yes, radiation poisoning was serious but when the police station received the call from Tian Fuhou, they did not expect the situation to worsen so quickly By now, the governiven the order to stop the expansion immediately

However, that was easier said than done One could quarantine the patients to curb the spread of legionella pneumonia; but no one kne to stop a radioactive explosion that appeared out of nowhere Furtherht and by the speed this expansion was going, could they even outrun it?

The One from GOA and many Mobile Special Forces were sent out Phecda mobilized everyone towards Mo Bei Members from GOA also sent in reinforceht eventually expand to their own country and radioactive substances could corrupt water sources and air Once the h, it would destroy the entire world

To be honest, since the first explosion, Phecda had already atte stones around the border and tried firing missiles into the mutated area but none of that was effective Then they tried to treat theboric acid through airdrops to neutralize the radiation but that was no use either

“For the third explosion, why has the expansion only increased tenfold and not a hundredfold like before, even though it has taken the longest to accuineers noticed this discrepancy The expansion speed had slowed down! Was it the effect of the boric acid or this was its natural progression?

There was another thing worth nothing though, it was the trees For the first explosion, the mutated area was limited to Tian Fuhouo’s tree harm There were trees everywhere But for the second explosion, the tree farm was only half of the 3 cubic km radius The other half was mostly desert

“Let us try to envision this ested, “It’s like a ritual that needs sacrifice, and consureater nu objects in the row and vice versa?” This was a hypothesis of course, but it was also the only possible solution that could slon the expansion With so many uncertainties in the air, airdrops of boric arid continued while Action Department members were sent out to kill all the plants near the border The 10 kilometres around the border was delineated as the quarantine circle Every tree within the quarantine circle was logged and removed while small plants were burned on the spot The quarantine circle was limited to 10 kilometres because of two reasons 1 was the lack of tiht cause the expansion to grow faster After all, this was just a hypothesis

However, they could not do anything regarding the plants that were already caught within the mutated area With 306Gy/h radiation value, one e to the body This was proven by robots and lab rats So the headquarters did not send too many people into it to avoid unnecessary sacrifice

Nevertheless, despite this, The One still planned to send soet a feel of the place This excursion would last for a mere 5 minutes

At the say Research Centre When Elder Tong and Yao Sinian saw the result, they did not knohat to think

The radioactive substance inside the area did not coiant one at that But it was clear that wherever the nuclear explosion was, it was not anywhere on Earth
