Chapter 420: Chapter 398 Ominous Premonition

Everything happened too suddenly, totally unforeseeable through energy alerts or heat detection, with no missile guidance signals detected. It was as if bird droppings fell from the high sky, yet when they hit the protective layer, they unleashed a power beyond all reason. The Non-Euclidean Union’s entire energy layer was breached in an instant, and the holographic shadow was rendered completely ineffective at that moment.

The forest was destroyed, the raging winds continued to wreak havoc, rushing past the trees and into the surrounding towns. It was like a tornado had passed through, first throwing up clouds of dust into the air, then being blown away by the next wave of force, leaving only a Meteorite Crater that spread outwards from the point of impact of a fallen drunkard. And there, the huge building that had been hidden for hundreds of years was revealed for the first time, looming over the jungle canopy.

At this time, the few townsfolk who had been lucky enough to stay behind stared dumbfounded at the forest of their ancestors and the abrupt high-rise, only then recalling the woman with wings who had appeared on their TV screens months ago and the words that the government had covered up, which they had chosen to forget.

It seemed that illusions did indeed exist and had always been right beside them.

At the point of impact, two people lay in the center of the Meteorite Crater.

Yes, their human shapes could still be discerned, and their injuries were only missing limbs, considered minor wounds.

Struggling to sit up, the nurse picked up her thigh not far from her head and reattached it to herself. She crawled some distance to find pieces of flesh that could still be described as "chunks" and stuffed them into her body haphazardly. In this time, her body had nearly fully recovered. When she was perfectly healed, she draped her tattered clothes "simply" over herself, covering some important parts, and walked towards the other pile of "corpse" at the center.

The drunkard seemed a bit worse off than the nurse. Apart from his head, which still retained a "roundish" shape, the rest of his body parts were mostly torn asunder, with large and small chunks scattered to the winds. This made him appear several sizes smaller than his original mass. Yet even in this state, he seemed to be "alive," for those tissues were still wriggling slightly, trying to squish themselves back into shape.

The nurse didn’t spare him another glance, seemingly quite confident in the drunk’s survival. She found a sharp, elongated stone on the ground and nonchalantly shoved it into her neck... This was a technique she had learned from Chen Xiao last time. At once, the arterial pressure sprayed blood like a faucet, and where the blood landed on the flesh on the ground, it began to grow wildly. The bones, like fast-growing plants, regenerated with a creaking sound, and within minutes, a naked man appeared on the ground. Having completed this, the nurse sat down on the ground, looking very weak, and used a piece of cloth to tightly bandage the wound on her neck.

It seemed her healing ability had greatly decreased.

Before long, several parachutes slowly descended around the Meteorite Crater. The Splitters’ entire team plus Jingjing, Xiao Nan, and Kazuko all gathered around. Those two girls had been brazenly taken by Chen Xiao from boss Xiao Yu under the pretense of "taking them out for fun," a reason with almost zero believability, but ultimately it had succeeded. The specifics will not be detailed at the moment; let’s focus on the situation at hand.

Everyone huddled together, and Reina looked at the nurse, puzzled, "You... have you bandaged your wound?"

With a helpless shrug, the nurse replied, "Maintaining someone’s life in an instant-death situation is very draining, so my self-healing has been slightly affected. But it doesn’t really matter." She answered casually.

Chen Xiao approached with curiosity, "So, how often can you use this ability?" he asked eagerly.

After a moment’s thought, the nurse responded, "Hmm... pretty fast I guess, roughly once a year."

"..." Chen Xiao fell silent.

Then, Xiao Nan considerately conjured up several pieces of clothing and handed them to the nurse.

"Thank you," the nurse said with a smile, accepting them.

Suddenly!

"Ah—!!"

The drunkard’s eyes flew open, and he began to shout and scream, startling the people around him.

"Alright, alright, you’ve been yelling since we got off the plane, if it weren’t for me by your side, your throat would have given out long ago!" The nurse scolded irritably.

Only then did the drunkard realize he was on the ground, and those damned companions of his were by his side, and he looked around in shock...

"Is this... what I caused?"

"Of course, what do you think, the Foundation was bored enough to dig it up themselves? Hurry up and get dressed." Reina glanced up and down at the drunkard’s body with a look of disgust and tossed him some clothes.

A few minutes later, everyone had regrouped and was heading towards the massive building in the distance.

Indeed, the building was not obliterated as everyone had imagined because the impact point Chen Xiao had predicted was not where the alliance group’s building was located, but anywhere around it just needed to breach the protective layer. After all, their target for this mission was in the building. If it got smashed to smithereens, the trip would have been for nothing. Besides, based on what he understood of the Foundation’s style, the drunkard’s impact may not have been strong enough to penetrate the building. If it only breached a few floors and ended up in a corridor, it would be a real hassle to rescue them, and that would truly be "handing over their heads on a platter."

However, although it wasn’t a direct hit, the range of the Meteorite Crater also affected the building. The ground around the skyscraper had collapsed considerably, exposing a large portion of the underground. Such a pure physical impact was not easily dissipating.

At this moment, the alliance group’s building was in chaos.

"Protection field energy is insufficient, holographic images can’t be activated!"

"Defense and surveillance systems are down, no power reading."

"Radar is offline, damage can’t be assessed!"

"Reason unknown, could be a nuclear strike, but no signals were detected, surveillance playback isn’t working, it seems like... there’s no power..."

Voices filled the building as nearly all the systems went down, and a large part of them were destroyed. The building, designed to withstand the highest level of earthquakes and explosions, was suddenly paralyzed in an instant. The base was experiencing its first major power outage since it was built, and no one knew what had happened or what to do.

The boy in the white lab coat clenched his fists. He watched as people below him were thrown into disarray, unable to come up with a solution, and what worried him even more was the conveyer transporting the Angel had stopped... and that ominous feeling was growing stronger.
