Chapter 338: The Hidden Dragon Emerges from the Abyss

And that deafening roar was exactly the breach of the containment shell!
The sound of the nuclear reactor exploding!
A massive amount of uranium-235 fuel rods had lost the moderator "heavy water" as a barrier!
Completely exposed to the air, capable of releasing lethal doses of radiation!
And a huge quantity of highly radioactive material was scattered across the entire sky above Yulong Town with the explosion!
It goes without saying how dire the situation had become!
Such accidents had occurred in history before!
But they were always caused by unforeseen factors or natural disasters!
This time, however, it was deliberately orchestrated by Dracula!
This move!
Directly turned the entire Yulong Town into a living hell!
Before anyone could react from the panic!
With a loud "bang!"
The steel ceiling of the venue was smashed through!
A massive concrete block over 20 meters in diameter came crashing down!
Everyone’s minds went blank, some even crouched on the ground, covering their heads and closing their eyes tightly!
Jiangnan's eyes nearly split with fury, with no time to think!
He teleported in an instant to one side of the concrete block, his figure almost blurred!
Snapping his fingers, he yelled: "Void Black Hole!"
A wild gravitational force erupted, annihilating most of the concrete!
But it was too fast—even the Void Black Hole couldn’t hold it back!
Jiangnan roared: "Qi Yu!"
How could Qi Yu not know what Jiangnan meant?
"Ordinary Punch!"
"Boom!"
The fist wind was like a tiger’s; after the golden blast, the concrete block was shattered into rubble!
At that moment, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief!
Looking at the huge hole smashed in the ceiling, everyone’s scalps tingled!
If that had fallen on them, how many would have died?
Just how powerful was the reactor explosion?
To send such a giant concrete block all the way here?
Remember, this was the center of the town!
And the nuclear power plant was…
Through the hole in the ceiling, they could vaguely see dark clouds hovering over the town, mixed with falling dust!
Jiangnan: "Mu Qing! Use your tree vines to block the ceiling hole!"
Mu Qing snapped back to reality at Jiangnan’s call, quickly activating her spirit skill!
Thick tree vines grew from the floor, climbing up the walls to patch the hole!
But at this moment, the crowd was completely panicked!
"Nan Shen! What’s happening outside? Did the nuclear plant explode?"
"Wah~ Are we going to die?"
"Dammit, we shouldn’t have come here!"
"I’m still young! I don’t want to die!"
"Who can save us from here? I don’t want to die! I don’t want to be irradiated! I’ll get cancer!"
Inside the venue, thousands of people were in an uproar, the scene chaotic, panic spreading rapidly!
Even the contestants started to panic!
Jiangnan took a deep breath: "Everyone, stop shouting!"
A loud shout! The venue fell silent. A pair of eyes looked at Jiangnan, full of helplessness!
"Radiation dust won’t enter the indoor area for now. No one go outside!"
"Cover exposed skin with clothes and wait for evacuation!"
"Who’s injured? Raise your hands!"
Over a hundred people in the venue raised their hands!
Jiangnan directly spent 100,000 resentment points to exchange for 1,000 Vitality Ginsengs!
In the 15 days of the hunting operation, Jiangnan had done every evil deed, incurring the wrath of heaven and man!
The 200-plus contestants had provided Jiangnan with 9.47 million resentment points!
He had saved them up and rarely used them, but now they came in handy!
"Xuexue, Lang Mie, distribute these to them, start with the injured!"
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao didn’t hesitate—at this moment, whatever Jiangnan said, they would do!
"Injured people, eat the ginseng. Your wounds will heal, but you might get a nosebleed; don’t panic! It’s harmless to the body!"
"Those not injured, put one in your pocket! Eat it only when you’re hurt; don’t waste it!"
At that moment, the panicked crowd began to stabilize!
Looking at Jiangnan, they felt as if they had found a pillar of strength!
Even in this situation!
Major news media were still broadcasting live with cameras!
For them, this was the best material!
And at this moment, the internet was also in an uproar!
"What’s happening? The nuclear plant in Yulong Town exploded? How?"
"Terrorist attack? Dammit, how could this happen!"
"Phew! That explosion just now scared me to death! That huge concrete block nearly crushed us—thank goodness for Nan Shen!"
"My Nan Shen never fails in critical moments!"
"Other contestants just stood there watching? Couldn’t they have helped?"
"Come on, dude! Don’t moralize! Who wouldn’t panic in a situation like that? These greenhouse flowers can’t compare to Nan Shen!"
"Who knows how many missions Nan Shen has been on? A man who dares to carry a nuclear bomb into the sky definitely has responsibility in his heart!"
"That’s what I love about him! So reliable! So reassuring!"
But right now, the crowd in the venue had no time to pay attention to the internet!
Mo Ling was already crying from the series of events!
Yet Ye Xinghe and the other contestants felt mixed emotions!
What is the difference? This is the difference!
At the first moment of the incident, they all panicked, only thinking of protecting themselves!
They didn’t even know what to do!
But Jiangnan thought about how to save people and took action, quickly organizing and stabilizing the scene!
Just this point alone was incomparable!
Ye Xinghe couldn’t help but recall how he had shown off during the competition, thinking he could compete with Jiangnan!
What did he have to compete with?
The more he thought, the more ashamed he felt!
He couldn’t help but step forward: "Nan Shen, is there anything we can do?"
"Yeah, yeah! Just say the word, Nan Shen!"
"We want to help too!"
"Don’t worry, we won’t cause any trouble!"
At once, many contestants spoke up!
Jiangnan was about to speak when he heard explosions and shouts outside!
"Brothers, charge! Under the Blood God’s order, the mission must be completed!"
"Capture Jiangnan alive! Bring him back to the mother body!"
"Kill!"
The shouts were continuous—Dracula had sent a considerable number of people!
And just then, Mountain Cat’s voice, as cold as ice, rang out!
"All Dragon Abyss Army soldiers!"
"Here!"
That single “here” was like a torrent of steel!
"What is your mission?"
"To forge the Great Wall with our bodies! To protect our Huaxia land!"
"To shoulder responsibility with both shoulders! To ensure the people’s safety!"
"When the hidden dragon emerges from the abyss!"
"With sharp fangs, it shall tear the enemy apart; with fierce claws, it shall crush the invaders!"
Mountain Cat: "I have only one requirement for you: Better to die here than to retreat even half a step, damn it!"
"Because behind you is what you must protect with your lives! Even if you die, you must hold the line!"
"Understood!"
"Kill!"
Even inside the venue, the roars of the Dragon Abyss Army could be heard!
It stirred people’s blood and brought a deep sense of security from the bottom of their hearts!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Outside the venue, gunfire and explosions were endless!
The shockwaves even rattled the wooden doors of the venue, causing the ground to tremble!
Shouts and screams were drowned in the sounds of battle!
Just one door away!
Outside the door was a battlefield of gunfire and blood, with flesh flying!
Inside the door was a stretch of peace!
Mountain Cat led the Dragon Abyss Army to hold off Dracula’s offensive!
Even Chen Xuan and the Spirit Martial Association staff were holding the line outside!
At this moment, Jiangnan was extremely anxious. He couldn’t care less; he stepped forward to go out and help!
But the two Dragon Abyss soldiers guarding the door immediately blocked Jiangnan!
"Nan Shen! Captain Mountain Cat specifically ordered that you must not go out!"
"Yeah! Please don’t make things hard for us!"
Jiangnan’s eyes turned red: "Move aside!"
"Sorry! It’s the captain’s order! We must obey!"
Jiangnan directly pulled out his military ID: "I command you as a Major! Move aside!"
These words made everyone in the venue freeze!
What?
Major?
Jiangnan is a Major?
Everyone only knew that Jiangnan had a status in the Dark Night Army!
But how could he be a Major?
An 18-year-old Major?
