Chapter 708: Explosion
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Five minutes before the explosion.
A soldier looked at the target and asked Uncle Ho, “Are you sure? We are using so many weapons on a human? This is too exaggerated even if he is an apostle.”
“Don’t worry. Laosha.” Uncle Ho smiled confidently. “If we can kill him with a few cannons, then we would not worry so much about apostles and supercats.”
The officer who was named Laosha shook his head. “I am afraid that you guys underestimate the power of modern weapons. With 12 fuel explosives, he would melt even if he was made of metal. I am afraid that you guys may blame me if he dies.”
When he saw that Uncle Ho did not speak, he continued, “Apostles and supercats can only be used for ambush and indirect combat. When it comes to an upfront battle, we still have to rely on modernized army and weapons.
They invest so much money on the supercats, I think it would be more useful to use it on the development of weapons.
The laser weapons that we just developed can restrain the powers. No matter how fast he is, can he be faster than light? We can kill him before he activates the power.”
All the other military officials also agreed to that. They did not believe the idea of apostles having the greatest power and fighting an entire army alone.
Uncle Ho just laughed and remain silent. He knew that it was two different ideologies fueled by different background and needs. After all, for official apostles and supercats to develop, they needed investments. To fight against apostles and supercats, naturally they would need more development of modernized weapons and equipments.
Should more investment go into the supercats or developing weapons? What are trends in future development? There is so much different research and hence there will be competition and different needs.
When all the 12 fuel explosion exploded and Zhao Yao walked out unharmed, everyone in the control room fell silent.
“There are no changes on the target.”
“How is that possible? That was a high temperature of 2500 Celsius and above.”
“It may be some kind of power. Although he was healthy and strong not more than an ordinary human.”
While everyone marveled at Zhao Yao’s defending abilities, Laosha stood up and said solemnly, “Use the laser cannons. Fuel air explosion is for large scale destruction and to attack targets inside buildings. If it is weak against the apostles, it is normal.”
Immediately, people started echoing his statement. “Yes, the laser cannon is a bigger threat for a single target.”
More than 20 bluish-green laser lights shot across the air and produced up to ten thousand Celsius of high heat. The air was chaotic as the high temperature distorted it.
However, when the laser was shone on Zhao Yao, it was like shooting a phantom. It melted a hole in the stone several meters away but could not harm Zhao Yao at all.
“What?”
“The laser cannon went through his body.”
“There are no signs of any change in temperature of the target.”
Laosha stared at Zhao Yao through the screen in disbelief. “How can that be?”
Then he said, “Use the electromagnetic weapon.”
Uncle Ho was shocked. “The newly invented electromagnetic weapon is already in use?”
Meanwhile, several armor-piercing bullets penetrated Zhao Yao’s body and left several pits on the rocks several meters away.
Zhao Yao turned his head in bewilderment. “Did something just go past?”
Rice Cake: “Zhao Yao, stop acting! It has already been 42 minutes. How long do we have to wait?”
“Five minutes. Wait another five minutes.”
Rice Cake was so mad. “Five minutes after five minutes. How many five minutes are you going to say?”
“Enough.” Zhao Yao pulled out the Murasama Blade. “Do you believe that if you continue I will stuff you up Matcha’s ***. You are a blade and you are screaming at me? Can’t you see that so many people are watching? If you continue like this where do you want me to put my face?”
“Meow...” When she thought about being stuffed up Matcha’s***, Rice Cake fell silent after being shouted at by Zhao Yao. Rice Cake felt aggrieved and burst into tears. “Waaaaaa,” she wailed.
Cheese raged, “Zhao Yao! What are you doing! Don’t bully my sister!”
Zhao Yao felt helpless. “Okay, okay. Rice Cake, stop crying. I was just scaring you. I won’t do it.”
“Waaaaa” Rice Cake was crying as she said, “I accompanied you for so long... Waa... You still want to stuff me up Matcha’s ***... You were the one who didn’t keep your promise... Waa... Zhao Yao why are you so bad...”
Zhao Yao comforted her. “Rice Cake stop crying. We will go back in five minutes. This is the last five minutes and I will send you back.”
Cheese was saying at the same time. “Don’t worry Rice Cake, if Zhao Yao doesn’t send you back I will...”
Rice Cake who was crying shouted, “I don’t want you to send me back. All you can do is fly, it’s so slow. I want to go into the Extradimensional Belly immediately.”
“Actually flying is pretty cool...” Cheese rebutted silently and felt really hurt. “My powers were despised by my sister.”
When the human and two cats were communicating in their consciousness, all the new weapons took their turn to attack. The land around Zhao Yao sunk a few meters and became a pit filled with scorched soil and crystals.
Everyone who was in the control room was stunned by what they saw on the testing grounds.
“This kind of gun power, it could have sank an entire battleship.”
“There is no change in the target’s body...”
“It is completely ineffective. What power is this?”
That moment, all the military officials, experts and official apostles in the room understood something. Zhao Yao could defend himself against all the weapons. It was not a resistance.
An expert said, “It must be a kind of special power such that all the attacks are useless on him.”
Someone shook his head and said, “Before we understand the principle behind this power, all conventional weapons will be useless against him.”
A professor made a guess. “Could it have something to do with dimensional powers?”
In fact, even if these people knew the principle behind the Extradimensional Belly, it was still hard for conventional weapons to fight it. As the technology today was not advanced to the point it could alter dimensions.
At that point of time, the only ones who could deal with Zhao Yao’s Dimension Portal were other apostles and supercats.
When Laosha heard the experts analysis, his face grew black. Didn’t that mean that all their weapons were useless against the target?
Then, everyone heard Zhao Yao speak in the walkie-talkie.
“Is the first test over? Can we started the second and third? I am in a hurry.”
Laosha was slightly stunned and grew furious. “Right in front of you, for 10 kilometers, there are armored vehicles, tanks, trucks, and bunkers... Next, we shall...”
