"How is everything? Did we achieve victory?" Yu Renshu asked impatiently upon seeing Shen Feng.
Shen Feng could see the worry on Yu Renshu's face. He smiled and said, "Of course, we won. As long as we can send the meteorite into space, all problems will be solved. Then I will take all of you to find an island to live in seclusion, and our whole family can live a carefree life!"
Yu Renshu was overjoyed upon hearing Shen Feng's answer.
However, Mu Ying couldn't help but ask, "Does the whole family you mentioned include us, mother and son?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Renshu felt that there was another meaning behind the words. She looked at Shen Feng, seemingly waiting for an accurate answer.
Shen Feng felt very awkward and couldn't respond. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's talk about it after this is over! Speaking of which, I saw two children in the fleet, Xiao Long and Yue Hengyi's son. I didn't expect them to be so daring, running away from home and coming to this battlefield at sea. Fortunately, nothing happened. If anything had happened, I wouldn't know how to answer my good brothers!"
Shen Feng had discovered the two children at sea when the battle began. Fortunately, these two children had helped in the battle, otherwise, the battle might not have ended so quickly. However, these two had sneaked in, so Shen Feng didn't give them a good look.
Yu Renshu, hearing Shen Feng's answer, excitedly hugged him and said, "I knew you were the strongest!"
Shen Feng looked at Yu Renshu's happy expression and the anticipation of the people around him, then said, "Now that we have achieved the final victory, everyone can rest assured. Your positions will not change much in the future, but you are all my direct subordinates. For now, wait here for a day. When Chang Haojie has rested, he will take you all away!"
Gong Changfa, with a limp and leaning on a stick, walked over and asked, "Shen Feng, what do you plan to do now?"
Shen Feng said, "I'm going to take the machinery here away now. The space rocket is ready, just waiting to fly into the sky."
Gong Changfa quickly said, "Please be careful. Those Koreans seem restless. They have a missile base there, and it's said they can launch missiles at any time. Be careful of the Jiuquan launch center, it might be attacked!"
Now, China's superhumans have finally united, which is not easy. They also understand that after the destruction of Yanjing, China was in a state of leaderlessness for a long time. Because everyone's strength was very balanced, it was impossible for the East wind to overwhelm the West wind. Thus, they fought separately until this final battle, when they were finally able to unite.
Shen Feng had also clearly stated earlier that he would choose to live in seclusion afterward, and everyone might be jointly governed. There would be no hereditary succession. Especially now that sixteen or seventeen years have passed since the doomsday, the world has become extremely broken, with ruins everywhere. All regions urgently need development and peace. It is naturally best to have one person lead the overall situation.
"I wish you a safe journey. Be careful of enemy missile attacks. We still have strength here, so don't worry about us!" Li Xiankang also said.
Ke Yiming asked Mu Ying to freeze some of Yun Laizhe's remains. According to him, he needed to send his brother's remains back to Jinling to his family.
"Shen Feng, it turns out your plan was correct. The best way to deal with uncertain things is to put them aside. You said you wanted to launch it to the moon. I hope you can do it, and then the global disaster will end!" Ke Yiming said.
Shen Feng nodded. He felt the weight of everyone's expectations on his shoulders. He had become the hope of the entire nation, and even the hope of ordinary people worldwide. Only by sending the meteorite into space could the mutation of various creatures on Earth be prevented. He had to try his best to complete such an important task.
After understanding this, Shen Feng directly grabbed the huge piece of machinery on the ground. It looked about 5 meters in diameter and was very heavy. However, Shen Feng was now a ninth-tier superhuman, a true god of wind. With the gathering of strong winds, he could move heavy objects. He immediately lifted the machinery and flew away with the sphere, but not too high, flying at low altitude, only about a dozen meters above the sea surface.
After leaving everyone, Shen Feng felt slightly relieved because he had already thought of a way to deal with enemy missiles. Even if the enemy wanted to shoot down the rocket, it wouldn't be easy. Besides, although he had lost many students this time, the casualties were not particularly severe. At least more than half of them could be brought back. It was thanks to his later entry that this strategy ensured that the fresh troops could deal with the exhausted enemy.
"Everything is proceeding as I envisioned. We just need to complete the last step, sending this mechanical sphere to the moon. Moreover, I have two cards that can directly communicate with artificial intelligence in my hands, and my children will be able to retrieve the sphere for research in the future!" Shen Feng thought to himself.
However, after Shen Feng had been flying for several hours, there was suddenly a strong light from behind him. Shen Feng couldn't help but look back. It was already close to dusk. The nights in the Arctic Circle were very long, especially in autumn. A few hours of daylight a day was already good. But now it was getting dark, and yet there was light. This made Shen Feng suspect that something had happened behind him.
But when Shen Feng looked back, he saw intense sunlight emanating, and his eyes felt like they were receiving a large amount of light. He quickly turned his head away, not daring to look directly. After taking out sunglasses from his body, he dared to look back. Fortunately, it was still far away, so he wasn't blinded by the sunlight.
Finally, Shen Feng looked back and was stunned. He saw that in the distance, in the originally pitch-black world, there was suddenly a brilliant light, as if the sun had appeared on the sea. Then, a huge mushroom cloud tore through the sky and rushed into the stratosphere. From afar, it looked like a sun falling from the sky, raising countless dust and smoke. Seeing this scene, there was naturally no other thought.
"It's a nuclear bomb! These beasts! They actually used such a terrifying weapon against humans, against their own kind! What shameless things!" Shen Feng thought to himself, and involuntarily, tears fell from his face.
Hot tears fell, but he didn't feel anything, because he understood what it meant.
On the previous battlefield, Shun Feng had many subordinates and companions who remained there. Because Chang Haojie's stamina was too depleted, he could only rest on the surrendered fleets. But at this moment, a nuclear bomb fell on the battlefield. Even from hundreds of kilometers away, the scorching sunlight was still dazzling. Now, the battlefield must be scorching hot, and it is estimated that the people there have already turned to ashes. Even the so-called fleets would be nothing left.
"Ajie, Yu Renshu, Mu Ying, Xu Xing, Xiao Long, Yue Cangshan..." Shen Feng murmured their names, because he had the worst-case scenario in mind. He estimated that he would never see these people again. Fortunately, he had left the battlefield in advance and thus avoided the nuclear strike. If he had left too late, he probably wouldn't have survived.
Earlier, Shen Feng and the artificial intelligence had engaged in a clash of ideas. At that time, Shen Feng faced the thing he was most unwilling to face: he believed that the entire universe was nothingness, and existence itself was unreasonable. Therefore, his mental state was not very good. But now, witnessing the death of his good friends and loved ones with his own eyes, he still felt very sad. Even if he knew that humanity's future was nothingness, the current state still existed. Watching his friends die and his good friends turn to ashes with his own eyes, this feeling was extremely unbearable.
"These beasts deserve to die! I will avenge you all! Just you wait!" Shen Feng roared at the sky. Witnessing the death of his good friends, his heart was heavy, but he knew he couldn't stop. He still had a more important mission to complete.
Earlier, Shen Feng's mood was slightly relaxed because he felt that his plan was only one step away from completion. But now, witnessing the death of his friends and the loss of his loved ones, he could only hide his grief in his heart. If it weren't for his strong physique, the great joy and sorrow would have been enough to cause him psychological problems.
At this moment, countless insects suddenly appeared in the sky in the distance. These insects had very strange appearances, with the bodies of ants but with wings on their backs. It could be said that the bodies of these insects were like large birds. From afar, they looked like a flock of birds migrating. But upon closer inspection, one could see that these were mutated insects.
"Are even you trying to bully me? Then you can all die! If you dare to stand in my way, you won't live!" Shen Feng seemed to be extremely angry, and just happened to see a large number of flying ants appear before his eyes. He couldn't help but let his anger out on these insects.
But at this moment, a voice came from the backs of a swarm of ants. Shen Feng looked up and saw that on the backs of many giant ants, there were figures.
"Master! I've come to help you. Are you alright?" Wang Feiying, with a pair of wings as white as a swan's, flew down from the sky and hovered beside Shen Feng. He hadn't seen Shen Feng for many years. After all, he had suffered severe damage from radioactive materials and could barely hold on. He could only constantly recuperate his injuries outside and eventually married into another force. But upon hearing that a battle had occurred in the Arctic, he rushed over without hesitation.
"I didn't expect you to come. It's a pity you're a step too late. The battle is over, and those people from Europe and America even launched nuclear bombs. Others are probably all..." Shen Feng's emotions were very low, and he didn't want to talk at all.
Chen Xintie also slowly descended from the sky riding a flying ant. His abilities were greatly restricted in such a cold environment. If he stayed in such low temperatures for a long time, his supplies would be rapidly consumed.
"You should mourn your loss. We originally wanted to help, but we were too late. There's nothing we can do. These insects particularly dislike cold environments, and their flight speed in the snowy north is too slow. Moreover, it had been snowing all along, so we had to rest for a long time!" Chen Xintie said.
Shen Feng suddenly felt a glimmer of hope. He said to Chen Xintie, "Now I need to take this huge mechanical sphere in my hand back to Yuzhou, but someone needs to handle the matters on the battlefield. Perhaps someone can still survive the nuclear explosion. I'll entrust this to you. Hurry to the battlefield and search. Perhaps you can find survivors!"
"What if you find survivors?" Chen Xintie asked.
Shen Feng said, "If you really find anyone alive, no matter who it is, bring them back quickly and use the Dragon Blood Tree to heal them so they can survive as much as possible! I will repay you in the future, no matter what you want, I will satisfy you. I mean what I say!"
Shen Feng didn't think this group of people were here to help. Perhaps they were here to pick up the pieces, but they came too late and missed the battle. Now, he could only place his hope on them. If they could find survivors, no matter who it was, it would be good news. Shen Feng didn't want to see his loved ones die silently, nor did he want to see his friends turn to ashes under the nuclear attack.
Upon hearing this promise, Chen Xintie was overjoyed and said, "Don't worry about this. I will definitely complete it! No matter who I find, I will take them back and take good care of them. After all, my subordinates have a lot of experience in treating radiation exposure!"
After receiving Shen Feng's promise, he was very excited and headed towards the battlefield. Of course, he didn't dare to enter the nuclear explosion site directly to search, because there was still a lot of residual heat here, and the massive radiation would directly kill everyone who approached. He could only search in areas near the battlefield where the radiation was not too strong. Even if he suffered some radiation damage, as long as he returned to his city and had the fruit of the Dragon Blood Tree, he would be healed. Wealth comes from danger, and he only needed to find those who survived to complete the mission and receive Shen Feng's reward.
Wang Feiying gave Shen Feng a hug, and then they parted ways again. Shun Feng continued to carry the huge mechanical sphere and flew south. After a day of flying, they finally reached the ground nearby. This was the north of Siberia, where the permafrost began. From here, Shen Feng gave up flying, because carrying such a heavy object and flying in the sky consumed a lot of energy, and the speed was not fast enough. He would rather run on the ground.
After Shen Feng landed on the ground with the heavy object, his speed exploded. He left a circle of white mist behind him, breaking the sound barrier and surpassing Poppy, running south directly. His speed was very fast, and it would only take a day to reach Yuzhou.
Yuzhou had also heard about the nuclear explosion in the Arctic. The group was very anxious, especially Chang Jianyi, whose husband and brother were still fighting on the northern battlefield. If they were hit by the nuclear explosion, they would likely not survive. So, she knelt before the statue of Guanyin and began to pray.
When a person can do nothing, they most like to place their hope on those ethereal gods, hoping that these gods can protect their families.
Fortunately, soon after, news came from the north that they had seen Shen Feng running at super-fast speed, disappearing in the blink of an eye, leaving only a roaring sound behind him, which was the sound of air violently vibrating.
At this time, the people in Yuzhou finally felt relieved.
Li Keyi said, "Next, I will also go to the launch base and wait for the rocket to launch!"
Chang Jianyi nodded and gave Li Keyi a hug, saying, "Everything is entrusted to you!"
Chang Jianyi had a bad premonition. Although her husband had returned, there was still no news from others, and she didn't know the specific situation.
However, just as everyone in China was waiting for the rocket to finally fly into space, a piece of bad news suddenly arrived. The people at the Jiuquan base discovered that countless missiles were attacking them. The destructive power was very strong, and after falling, they destroyed a large number of buildings. These were missiles launched from South Korea.
"These Koreans are detestable! Give them a nuclear bomb and make them never dare to be arrogant again!" Yang Ye said with a flushed face. Seeing that the rocket was about to launch from the base under his command, which would take away this huge mechanical sphere, and the Earth's peace would be in sight, he didn't expect these guys to dare to sneak attack them.
Chang Jianyi calmly said, "Don't worry for now. I forgot to tell you, but this is a security measure. We have secretly repaired the Xichang launch center. And the space rocket has already been prepared at the Xichang launch center. What is left in Jiuquan is just an empty base to attract firepower!"
After hearing this, the others were relieved. They thought that after so many years of hard work, they finally had hope, but they were almost destroyed by these Koreans. These people were traitors, clearly in East Asia but working for those in North America. After this is over, they must be dealt with.
Shen Feng spent a day, consuming a lot of physical strength, and finally ran back to Xichang from Siberia at supersonic speed. At this time, Shen Feng looked very haggard, and his hair had turned much whiter, completely unlike his youthful and heroic appearance. He had also transformed from a young hero into a middle-aged man.
"How are the others? Were they affected by the explosion?" Li Keyi asked the crucial question upon seeing Shen Feng.
Shen Feng shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about that for now. Let's launch the rocket quickly! We must send this machine to the moon!"
After saying these words, Shen Feng threw the giant graphite-wrapped sphere he had been carrying for a long time onto the ground. Then, people operated a huge mechanical arm to clamp it and send it into the rocket. Immediately, it was prepared for launch. Coincidentally, the moon was very close to the Earth tonight, which was a suitable time for launch.
At this time, almost all the cities in China belonged to Shen Feng. It was also thanks to the hard work of Shen Feng's subordinates. The people in other places had been suffering for a long time and hoped for a better life, so they all chose to defect to Shen Feng. A large "Feng" (wind) flag was raised on the city walls.
Just then, many cities began to have electricity. The first thing these people did was not to supply power to the residents, but to broadcast a scene in many public places. This scene was of a rocket at the Xichang launch center. This rocket was about to fly into the sky, and it was being broadcast globally.
At this moment, whether it was the wicked or the cautious and unfortunate, they all sat on the steps or on the muddy ground, watching the picture on the screen. Although the picture often stuttered, they still watched intently because they knew this might be something that could change their lives and futures, so they paid extremely close attention.
The tail of the rocket suddenly spewed out countless white gases, and then the rocket ascended at an extremely fast speed. It started slowly but became faster and faster, drawing an arc in the sky. The camera kept following, and everyone watched this scene in real-time through the network signal.
"It must succeed!" Everyone held this expectation in their hearts, watching the rocket fly higher and higher. Their hope was now placed on this rocket. As long as the rocket successfully launched and left space, it didn't matter if it reached the moon or not. Then the meteorite would not affect the creatures on Earth, and people could return to their normal lives.
But just as the rocket reached an altitude of 10 kilometers, many unidentified flying objects suddenly flew from afar. They were intercontinental missiles. These missiles could fly across continents and had a very high hit rate, and could attack outside the atmosphere.
Therefore, as the rocket reached the stratosphere, these long-range missiles hit the rocket.
