Chapter 541 - 541 Finally Killing It

541 Finally Killing It

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The Tafaronian was so fast that it was like an afterimage, which left the people dumbfounded.

Its speed was still increasing, and its acceleration was even faster than a free fall.

Wu Mo was shocked when he noticed the Tafaronian’s speed!

He gritted his teeth and activated a hidden setting inside the Divine Dragon mech—top speed.

After he activated this mode, all the steering devices were temporarily shut down, and the mech’s internal structure was fully dedicated to linear acceleration.

“Oh?” The giant ape never thought this primitive planet could actually develop such a fast mech!

The Tafaronian’s voice was filled with surprise and disdain. It pursued Divine Dragon relentlessly and tried to defeat the mech, the pinnacle of the human world’s combat power.

“Lowly race, give up your resistance! I’ve sent a cosmic star map to Tafaro. We’ll send a spaceship to conquer your desolate planet and lead you to a higher civilization!”

The Tafaronian’s taunting words almost made Wu Mo collapse.

‘What? This guy actually sent out a signal and gave an accurate location of our planet? On top of that, it’s asking Tafaro to send a spaceship over?’

Wu Mo felt despair in his heart.

Just imagine, once a large number of Tafaronians or even more powerful beings like the giant ape monster arrived on this planet, the entire human world would probably be destroyed.

The best outcome would probably have them live as a slave race and be taken away, or have the entire planet become a colony.

The worst thing was that they would be erased forever and cease to exist.

“Our planet’s thousands of years of civilization is something that you aliens cannot destroy. Although your technology is more advanced, you have neglected something called faith,” Wu Mo replied coldly as he sped up.

“Faith? Ha, what a joke! Before our advanced civilization, your beliefs are nothing but ants!”

The Tafaronian mocked him arrogantly while it gave chase with all its might.

At this moment, more than ten sea monsters were entangled with the conventional weapons, and both sides were in a stalemate.

However, when the nuclear-powered submarines and large nuclear-powered aircraft carriers arrived, the air force would launch a triple attack on the sea, land, and air. Once that happened, these sea monsters would have nowhere to escape!

…

Finally, they arrived in the desert.

Before Wu Mo got there, he had already observed his surroundings. He rushed toward the core of the desert and ran into the distance.

After he shifted his position several times, Wu Mo finally found an ideal place.

About seven kilometers deep in the desert, there was a natural mound. While it was only ten meters above sea level, it would not prevent the line of fire from moving straight.

Wu Mo decided to detonate a large nuclear missile near this mound!

“Wu Mo, how are you escaping from the large-scale nuclear explosion?” an officer asked nervously. The atmosphere in the command center became tense.

All life within at least thirty kilometers of the nuclear explosion would be reduced to ashes.

“I already took this into consideration when I was developing the Divine Dragon mech,” Wu Mo replied after pondering for a moment. “Its multi-layer composite shell can effectively withstand nuclear radiation and high-temperature shocks. There should be no problem if I can move five kilometers away.”

However, he still had to find a way to retreat that distance during the nuclear explosion.

Without hesitation, Wu Mo activated Nitrous Mode and Straight-fire Mode. The terrifying acceleration of the dual modes made the Divine Dragon mech fly like an arrow. It instantly traveled more than ten kilometers and advanced into the distant horizon.

“Now!” he shouted. “Detonate it immediately!”

The large nuclear missile was launched on time following Wu Mo’s order.

In the howling wind, the large nuclear missile fell and ignited the fuse.

At this moment, the Tafaronian finally realized how careless it had been!

It tried to slow down, but the huge inertia prevented it from stopping immediately.

“D*mn it! The gravitational force of your low-level planet is too weak. I can’t stop soon enough!” the Tafaronian cursed.

Unfortunately, it was unable to escape the nuclear explosion.

Boom!

With a loud bang, a trace of fear flashed in the Tafaronian’s eyes.

Then, the entire world was engulfed by the white light.

The dazzling white light destroyed everything in sight.

Wu Mo managed to make it past the five-kilometer range with Divine Dragon’s terrifying speed.

Even so, the Divine Dragon mech also suffered devastating damage. Its outer shell was falling off, and pieces of it quickly melted into molten iron.

Wu Mo immediately jumped out of the cabin, rolled on the ground, and ran away.

At this moment, the satellite surveillance found that at the center of the explosion, a small red box dropped off the Tafaronian’s body when it exploded. It was not destroyed.

The moment they caught sight of it, the researchers speculated that it was most likely a map of the planet five hundred light-years away!

With the map, humans might be able to start a long-distance voyage.

This speculation made the entire command center ecstatic!

A senior expert stared at the red iron box on the screen. Though his temples were pale, his eyes were bright.

Such iron boxes were usually extremely tough when placed inside the body, and it could withstand extremely high temperature explosions.

The scene they just witnessed undoubtedly confirmed this point!

“Hurry, hurry, bring that red box back!” the expert could not help but say.

However, the nuclear explosion had just ended, and the nuclear radiation was still incredibly heavy. No one could grab the red box in such an environment.

They had to wait for a period of time until the nuclear radiation weakened a little.

They would only have a chance of retrieving the red box if they sent out soldiers who wore special protective clothing.

Wu Mo still had no idea about this. He suddenly started coughing and felt a little uncomfortable.

For now, he had to return to the base to recuperate for a period of time.

After all, the radiation and pollution produced by a large-scale nuclear explosion were extremely serious. The slightest mistake could lead to lifelong effects.

Wu Mo had not gone far when he met the person who came to pick him up.

“Chief Engineer Wu, are you okay?” the doctor could not help but ask with concern.

Wu Mo shook his head to indicate that he was aware of his current condition. He did not need to receive treatment immediately. He just needed to rest for a while.

Wu Mo then returned to China with the other rest.

The storm finally subsided, and Divine Dragon still stood tall in the ruins about five kilometers away from the nuclear explosion.

China brought it back to the base for repairs, but no one dared to touch it.

This was because aside from Wu Mo, no one else was qualified to repair this Divine Dragon mech.

The mech had many technological facilities, and things could easily backfire if they repaired it rashly.

After two days of rest, Wu Mo reappeared and saw the mysterious red box before him.

A group of experts had already conducted two days and two nights of research on the box.

The latest infrared scan revealed that the red box was made of a sturdy metal shell.

It was composed of metals that did not appear on the periodic table of elements. It was a special element that originated from a distant planet.

The hardness of this element was simply astounding!
