Night of Despair-Chapter 463 - 461 Anxiang 3

"Such a huge meteor, is it going to annihilate the entire planet?!" Chi Xiao moaned from the side.

"The Array has been partially damaged. The recent meteor shower bombardment is at least equivalent to dozens of hydrogen bombs exploding together. This bigger one... we definitely can’t withstand it!" Yu Hong said anxiously.

The protective strength of the bunker is much stronger than his and Ku Chan’s own protections. If the bunker can’t hold it, they certainly can’t either, and will die as well.

"What should we do!??" Chi Xiao was also panicked.

"I have to watch for the right moment to activate the isolation state to cut off everything, otherwise we’re doomed!" Yu Hong said sternly.

He was sweating all over his body now, the intense sense of crisis completely dominating every nerve of his.

The volume of the meteor outside, at least by visual estimate, reached over ten kilometers in diameter.

The scale of the Hickeslubur meteor that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs is also estimated to be ten kilometers. This one definitely surpasses that!

In his past life, the power of a standard hydrogen bomb was at least several hundred thousand tons of TNT, with a strong one like the United States’ Mike at tens of millions of tons, and the strongest being the Soviet Union’s Tsar Bomba at fifty million tons.

This was already the limit for humans.

But the power of the Hickeslubur, equivalent to hundreds of quadrillion tons... this is not a comparable concept at all.

This is the doomsday strike that cleanses the surface of the earth, extinguishing all beings.

Yu Hong looked at the huge meteor outside getting closer and closer!

The only eye he exposed was bloodshot, filled with blood vessels. He stared fixedly at the meteor outside.

He was uncertain how long the meteor bombardment would last. If it were just a normal meteor, the maximum force would last a few minutes at most.

But his premonition told him, there was something wrong with this meteor!

It had an extremely strong Source Disaster aura!

If it were just a simple meteor, he and Ku Chan would not have discovered it only when so close.

"Wait, the isolation state can last for an hour! What am I hesitating for?" Suddenly, Yu Hong’s brain buzzed, and he realized.

He immediately activated isolation.

Buzz!

After a slight tremor, the entire bunker, Black Black Spirit, began to turn transparent, and in less than a second, vanished into thin air from the blackened earth.

Inside the bunker.

Yu Hong, Ku Chan, and the others stood by the window, ignoring the scattered items all around, staring fixedly at the huge meteor about to fall outside.

Yu Hong himself was not sure if the isolation state could withstand this collision. That meteor was not normal matter at all.

And even if it were just a common meteor, the force generated by the instant collision was far beyond what ordinary things could withstand.

"Looking at the distance, I guess it will take about half a minute to..." Ku Chan said in a low voice.

But the next second.

The meteor in the sky crashed down thunderously.

The outside became dark in an instant.

The outer layers of the Array of the bunker, under the enormous pressure of the crash, burst like soap bubbles in an instant.

The layers of the Array didn’t last even a second.

Next were the high-strength special alloys from interstellar civilization, which also deformed rapidly under this terrible explosive impact, cracking.

Even though the bunker was already in an isolation state, theoretically cutting off all external damage, the huge impact-induced shock waves still caused a chain reaction that severely damaged the bunker.

A series of enormous vibrations that could not be identified by ears engulfed all the sounds that could be heard inside the bunker.

The essence of sound is vibration, and the terrifying vibration caused by the impact immediately destroyed the Inner Strength defensive layers of Yu Hong and Ku Chan.

The ceaselessly flowing Tai Ling Skill Inner Strength and Red Food Method Inner Strength, combined with the Spirit Light Secret Skill, only lasted less than two seconds before declaring collapse.

Then came their auditory systems.

Without the protection of the Array and Inner Strength, merely relying on their physical bodies to withstand the impact immediately exposed the gap in strength.

Yiyi fainted first but was quickly revived due to her half-Black Disaster constitution’s super-fast recovery powers and Yu Hong and Ku Chan’s protective efforts, which shielded her from much of the physical damage, and her body began to quietly heal.

Such a constitution had allowed her to survive fatal injuries in her early years. Naturally, it was no exception here.

The Chi Xiao Sword Handle, being made of very hard material, only developed some more cracks at the moment, which was not a big deal.

Yu Hong himself flashed with Golden Light, Divinity reducing half the damage, plus his own high strength of the body, he only felt like he was heavily punched in the face, a bit dizzy in the head.

After spitting out a pool of blood, it was nothing major.

Ku Chan, however, got the worst of it.

He practiced the powerful Red Food Method, but for the time being, it was not stronger than Yu Hong’s multiple Cultivation Techniques.

After all, he didn’t have the characteristic of Tao Breath Circulation, which allowed for 24-hour automatic Cultivation. He also lacked other miscellaneous traits and had to divide some of his Power to protect Yiyi and the Chi Xiao Sword Handle.

Struck head-on by the massive impact-induced vibration, Ku Chan’s chest collapsed on the spot, and his entire body’s flesh, bones, and organs shattered countless times within one second.

He flew out and stuck to the wall, with the pattern of the Array on the wall imprinted on his back.

Blood, like free-flowing water, seeped out from his body, and he looked like he was about to be finished.

"Fuck!" Seeing this, Yu Hong quickly got up and approached, pulling down the person from the wall.

The faintly golden light of the Elf Ancient Tree’s Call worked furiously to heal everyone’s injuries.

The effect was especially pronounced on Ku Chan’s body. All his injuries were healing at a rapid pace.

But it’s not enough...

This new ability can at best heal moderate injuries. Ku Chan is at death’s door.

"Medicine...." Ku Chan struggled, using the Golden Light from the Elf Ancient Tree’s Call to recover, managing to squeeze out a single word with great difficulty.

Yu Hong immediately reacted, reaching into his pocket to search, only to find a mushed paste that had been smashed to a pulp.

Right then and there, without a second thought, he lumped the mush together with the broken bottle shards and forcefully shoved it into Ku Chan’s mouth.

"Swallow it!" He pressed firmly, then with a surge of Inner Strength, pushed it down through Ku Chan’s throat and straight into his stomach.

At their level, a few shards of glass or ceramic didn’t matter.

"After this.... I’ll definitely never use... ceramic to store medicine again..." Ku Chan said, with his first words after swallowing the medicine paste and opening his eyes.

"Let’s talk about that later." Yu Hong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and glanced at the window.

The window glass had shattered, leaving only a few sharp fragments stuck in the corners.

Outside was an engulfing inferno.

The orange and white flames devoured everything. Aside from the fire, nothing else was visible.

"Good thing we weren’t knocked out of the isolation state, otherwise..." Yu Hong sighed. "A blessing in disguise amidst misfortune."

"What’s the extent of the damage?" Chi Xiao emerged from the ground, looking haggard and seemingly even older than before.

"Black Black Spirit destroyed over half of the Array. Thankfully, we were in the isolation state; otherwise, we would’ve been undoubtedly dead. Our location was exactly in the area hit by the meteorite, so.... our luck was just that bad." Yu Hong got up and propped Ku Chan against the wall.

"No... it’s not luck..." Chi Xiao shook his head. "You both passed out briefly just now, but I remained conscious, and during that time, I heard five more identical impacts and vibrations."

"Not the subsequent aftershocks? Are you sure?" Yu Hong was stunned.

"No. Even an old man like me can tell the difference. That one just now was on par with a full-force strike from the Heavenly Emperor above the Great Emperor." Chi Xiao shook his head.

"....." Yu Hong didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Watching as Yiyi and Ku Chan were recovering under the Golden Light, he returned to the window.

"We can’t stay here any longer; we must leave immediately!"

"The problem is, wasn’t the river route blocked earlier?" Chi Xiao said helplessly.

Yu Hong’s face grimaced, trying in his mind to activate the Savior Ship’s Black River mobility power.

An invisible black fog emanated from behind Black Black Spirit, enveloping it.

In the next instant, the entire safe house was relocated back atop the Black River. The next stretch of the river was still the narrow channel that had been mostly blocked by the black mountainous mass.

"Wait, it looks like that mountain was also shattered quite a bit!" Yu Hong’s eyesight suddenly caught the difference, his spirits lifting.

"Move! Another one is coming!!!" Ku Chan suddenly yelled out again.

He practiced the Red Food Method and seemed to have a stronger sixth sense than Yu Hong. He sensed the anomaly before anyone else.

Yu Hong’s scalp tingled at the sound. He hurriedly propelled the safe house at full speed into the depths of the Black River.

The black fog gradually diluted the fire’s glow behind them, obscuring it.

But less than two seconds later.

Boom!!!

A massive white flame broke through the black fog, like a white tidal wave, engulfing both the Black River and the safe house in its path.

At that moment, the safe house, being in transit, couldn’t enter the isolation state and was caught by surprise by the huge impact force and heat wave, being thrown out violently.

"Ah!!!!" "Whoa!!!!"

Everyone inside the house screamed aloud.

Everything tumbled and swirled, mixing into chaos.

All objects lost their balance.

Yu Hong’s head collided with Ku Chan’s belly, knocking him unconscious on the spot, and his spine shattered.

Yiyi stepped on the broken end of the Chi Xiao Sword Handle, piercing her foot completely.

The washing machine, which was initially secured, took off with the lid flying open, its cord breaking off.

The communication device on the table was flung around like a bowling ball, all edges worn off, turning blunt and rounded.

The lid of the freezer separated from the cabinet, one ending up on the bed, the other in the fireplace.

Large items were tossed around and smashed, not to mention the smaller ones.

With the protective Array gone, the appliances were thoroughly damaged. Packaged foods had not managed to survive their debut, already smashed and scattered, forming a messy paste that flooded the basement.

It was unclear how much time had passed until the enormous tumbling vibrations completely stopped.

Only then did Yu Hong slowly rise from the ground.

That last hit, though just residuals, had destroyed the safe house’s outer wall since the protective Array was gone, breaking his Inner Strength and Spirit Light; everything had to be endured physically, making it even more disheveled than before.

"Cough cough..."

He coughed a few times, leaning against the wall, trying to steady his dizzy head.

The first thing he saw was the small white rats’ cage which had turned into an oval shape.

The white rats inside were all skewed, long devoid of life.

"Huff... Yiyi, Ku Chan! Are you guys okay!?" Yu Hong stood up and surveyed his surroundings.

Ku Chan had been buried under a pile of debris, with a heavy table that had lost two legs crushing down on him, and large puddles of dark red blood were underneath.

Already motionless.
