Chapter 374: Chapter 330: Shattered Mountains and Rivers, Sunken Earth

Upon witnessing this astonishing scene, the war journalists, who were initially shocked into silence, erupted into a cacophony.

“My Fack?”

“Did I freaking see that right?”

“The high-energy laser beams that shot out from the eyes of the Zu Zong actually vaporized over a hundred light tanks and light armored vehicles in just a few seconds?”

“Oh my God, am I dreaming right now?”

The journalists were truly stunned!

As is well known, it takes temperatures above 2,750 degrees to vaporize steel, and that’s just the basic condition for vaporization.

In reality, for massive objects like tanks and armored vehicles, even generating 2,750 degrees of high temperature around them would not be enough to instantly vaporize them.

Yet now, the high-energy laser beams shot from Zu Zong’s eyes vaporized all those light tanks and light armored vehicles in an instant?

Crucially, it took no more than five seconds to vaporize all the light tanks and light armored vehicles!

This is undoubtedly terrifying.

Anyone with a basic understanding of physics can grasp what this implies.

This means that the temperature of the high-energy laser beams shot from Zu Zong’s eyes is far beyond just 2,750 degrees!

In fact, even at a temperature of ten thousand degrees, it would still take several seconds to melt steel.

Melting steel at ten thousand degrees still requires several seconds.

Let alone vaporizing steel, and we’re talking about a large number of light tanks and light armored vehicles?

Anyone could deduce that the temperature of those high-energy laser beams likely reached tens of thousands of degrees in order to perform such an incredible feat in just four or five seconds!

Tens of thousands of degrees shooting out from Zu Zong’s eyes, yet his eyeballs are unscathed?

This can only mean one thing—that Zu Zong’s physical resilience is strong enough to withstand tens of thousands of degrees without any damage!

After all, if he couldn’t withstand such high temperatures, he wouldn’t be able to emit such scorching high-energy laser beams from his eyes.

Frankly speaking, any object coming close to such scorching high-energy laser beams would probably vaporize, and yet Zu Zong emits them from his eyes?

Bear in mind that when a nuclear bomb explodes, the temperature only reaches tens of millions of degrees for a brief instant.

Then, during the duration of the explosion, typical temperatures are about three to five thousand degrees.

And yet, this is still enough to vaporize everything exposed to it.

Now, Zu Zong can at least withstand temperatures of tens of thousands of degrees.

Doesn’t that mean he already has the capability to endure a nuclear bomb directly?

Although a nuclear explosion involves not only extreme heat but also immense shock waves, radiation, light, and other forms of damage, if a human body can withstand temperatures of tens of thousands of degrees, how strong must that body be?

Anyone can imagine that the explosive power of a nuclear bomb, including impact, radiation, and light, could hardly harm a body of such strength!

Withstanding a nuclear bomb means basically no danger, even at the surface of a star, as long as you don’t dive into the core.

Take the sun, for example, its surface temperature is around 5,500 to 6,000 degrees Celsius, while inside it’s a staggering 15 million degrees Celsius.

If you can withstand the high temperatures from a nuclear explosion, then taking a bath on the sun’s surface wouldn’t be an issue.

Lu Guang, Douglas, and Han Lina, being war journalists, have this basic knowledge.

It is precisely because they know so much that they are so astonished to see the high-energy laser beams from Zu Zong’s eyes reaching at least tens of thousands of degrees in temperature.

A few journalists hurriedly updated the latest battlefield situation on their personal blogs online.

They used brief words to upload all they had seen and speculated online.

More and more netizens were drawn in, excited to see the spectacle, imploring the war journalists for faster text live updates, just like watching a soccer or basketball game.

Some even grabbed beers and sunflower seeds, sitting back while occasionally commenting.

Upon seeing the journalists report and speculate about Zu Zong’s ability to withstand a nuclear bomb, the netizens all showed excitement, eagerly inquiring if there would be a scenario where a nuclear bomb was launched to test Zu Zong’s resilience, hoping the matter would grow even more epic!

…

On the battlefield.

Lu Li had just used his laser eye to obliterate the light tanks and light armored vehicles.

Indeed, at the moment, enduring a nuclear bomb shouldn’t be a problem for him, but the temperature of the laser eye didn’t actually reach tens of thousands of degrees.

The reason it could rapidly vaporize light tanks and light armored vehicles wasn’t solely due to high temperature.

To a large extent, the laser eye also carried a “cutting” function.

The moment the laser eye makes contact with an object, it unfolds an incredibly dense cutting action, reducing material to just a tad larger than large molecules, then instantly vaporizes it at around ten thousand degrees.

Yes, the temperature of the laser eye is around ten thousand degrees Celsius.

Thus, Lu Li’s physical resilience can indeed withstand a nuclear bomb, as long as it’s not at ground zero.

After all, the instantaneous temperature at ground zero is tens of millions of degrees, which no one can withstand.

Therefore, in theory, at this moment, Lu Li already possesses the capability to bathe on the sun’s surface.

“Now’s not the time to think about whether or not I can bathe on the sun’s surface.”

Lu Li looked up toward the armed helicopters and small unmanned combat drones rapidly flying in the sky.

He knew these aircraft were incredibly fast, and while he could use his laser eye to hit them, the hit rate wouldn’t match that of targeting light tanks and light armored vehicles.

To prevent these armed helicopters and small unmanned combat drones from getting scared and “fleeing,” and then returning later for harassment,

Lu Li decided to destroy these armed helicopters and small unmanned combat drones all at once.

Achieving this feat would be extremely difficult for most people.

Because the number of armed helicopters and small unmanned combat drones is overwhelming, almost blotting out the sky.

Even if you have an air defense system, it’ll take a while to deal with it.

But Lu Li is different, achieving this is incredibly easy for him.

Just as the next step was being prepared, the Land Air Corps received Colin Hudson’s instructions to unleash a barrage and bombardment on Lu Li and the Morgan Clan members!

Rat-a-tat-tat!

Rat-a-tat-tat!

The sound of machine gun fire echoed from the sky!

In an instant, enormous machine gun bullets suddenly plunged down from low altitude.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The continuous sound of dozens of shells firing resonated in the air.

Missiles, trailing long flames and with unstoppable momentum, crazily bombarded the position of Lu Li and the Morgan Clan members at high speed!

Almost at the same time, the field artillery brigade also received orders, deploying three hundred cannons.

Self-propelled howitzers, heavy mortars, cannons, and the like, all ammunition was dispatched.

Suddenly, shells screeched through the sky.

The fire illuminated the entire evening, smoke engulfed the land.

Fierce flames spewed from the barrels of the cannons, like thousands of blooming flowers.

The deafening booms seemed to shake the very heavens and earth to their core!

Such an astonishing and terrifying scene made everyone’s hearts tremble!

Everyone knew, once these shells hit the ground, they would unleash immense power.

Sure enough, the first shell hit the ground hard.

Boom, a loud explosion burst forth!

A fierce blaze instantly rose from the ground.

Steel balls mixed within were swept up by the powerful shockwave, shooting in all directions.

The earth continuously roared and trembled, air currents violently crossed, delivering a heart-shaking feeling of oscillation.

Even war correspondents watching from afar could feel the pervasive smell of smoke and the sense of ground-shaking created by the explosions.

None of them dared to take a breath, wanting to see how the Zozoren would deal with the sky filled with flames and those deadly fireworks!

Through a high-powered telescope, Lu Guang saw the white light around the Zozoren in a range of over a hundred meters becoming even more dazzling.

No matter how the flames and steel balls from the blasts of shells and shockwaves pounded, this white light only produced slight ripples, unable to breach the solid defense.

At this point, the Zozoren seemed not to have launched a counterattack at all.

Seeing this, Douglas was taken aback, puzzled over why the Zozoren wasn’t fighting back. Based on the power he displayed earlier, whether it was the freezing breath or high-energy laser beams from his eyes, he seemed able to destroy many shells to reduce the pressure on the “shield.”

But the Zozoren remained motionless, and Douglas had no idea what was happening.

Or perhaps, not a single war correspondent on the scene knew what the Zozoren was brewing.

Suddenly!

Was it an illusion?

Lu Guang, Douglas, and Han Lina all saw ripples seem to emerge in the air around the Zozoren.

Those ripples looked like stones striking a calm water surface.

The difference being, the ripples around the Zozoren did not radiate outward in a circular pattern; instead, they spread towards all directions.

Whether it was the sky or the sand underground, they seemed to shiver slightly at the moment the ripples were born.

This condition only lasted for a moment.

The time was so short that Lu Guang, Douglas, and Han Lina thought it was their illusion.

Yet, in the moment they were still puzzled, an incredibly terrifying scene unfolded!

In that stretch of the battlefield ahead, the flying missiles and surrounding vapor all froze in place for a moment.

This was much like hitting the pause button in a game.

Lu Guang: “Huh?”

Han Lina: “The… the shells are frozen in midair?”

Douglas was bewildered, “What’s going on?”

Just as all the war correspondents were about to react, the missiles, the vapor in the air, even the dust and steel balls swept into the air by the shockwave, all seemed suddenly gripped by immense gravitational pull, crashing violently down to the ground.

Not just the missiles, vapor, and dust.

In that area of the battlefield, all materials, including the countless sands of the desert, were subjected to immense gravitational pull, causing a collective collapse downward!

A violent earthquake-like tremor transmitted from the front!

Soon, the war correspondents observed an utterly terrifying scene.

The sands under the mercenaries ahead collapsed entirely.

Much like a scene drawn from a mythical novel, with shattered mountains and rivers, and a sunken earth!

With mountains and rivers shattered, and the earth sunken, what about the armed helicopters, unmanned combat drones, the three hundred cannons originally on the ground, the remaining tens of thousands of mercenaries, and various vehicles that were forcibly dragged to the ground by “gravity”?

All of these, including people, were instantly swallowed into the depths of the desert!

Such a shocking sight left Lu Guang, Douglas, and Han Lina utterly dumbfounded!
