Chapter 554: Why Do Meteorites Always Fall in Meteorite Craters? (Bonus Chapter)
After a wave of meteor showers, Sector 53 was almost completely flattened. As far as the eye could see, nothing but giant craters!
Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions were still ongoing, flames shooting into the sky, smoke and dust billowing everywhere!
A certain brother stood frozen in place, staring blankly at the ruins before him.
"The wish really came true. Ahead is indeed a smooth, flat road, unobstructed in every direction!"
Not even a strand of hair was left, man!
Meteor shower! Did you misunderstand something?
That's not what I wished for!
Isn't this a bit too accurate?
At this moment, Buffett was clutching his burnt-to-a-few-strands hair, looking completely insane, still dodging the attacks of molten lava spit.
Really, misfortune's father opened the door for misfortune—misfortune had truly arrived at home!
Up until now, Flat Valley Volcano was still spitting at me. I just flipped you off, didn't I?
Do you have to go this far?
But Jiangnan didn't dare waste any time. Seventeen minutes had already passed since the battle began.
If he didn't leave now, it would really be too late...
The blood in his body had completely cooled, and he felt like he'd fallen into an ice cellar, bone-chillingly cold!
His heart had nearly stopped, and his body was on the verge of collapse.
He pulled out a Vitality Ginseng and stuffed it into his mouth.
The imagined scene of wounds healing and blood gushing everywhere didn't happen.
Jiangnan's little face darkened, and he stayed silent.
His body's self-healing system had been burned to the point of collapse, overtaxing too many functions. All the blood in his body had been boiled away.
Even the little ginseng couldn't work now?
But Jiangnan didn't have time to think about that. He shook his groggy head, his vision going dark.
He retracted the Vendor Cloth and Small Stool, picked up the Blood-Drinking Blade and Blood-Drinking Halberd that had fallen on the ground, and headed into the lab that was now completely collapsed.
Under such violent impacts, the plasma cage still wasn't completely destroyed. The glowing white barrier still trapped the Bose Body inside.
Seeing Jiangnan covered in blood, the Bose Body's eyes were full of worry. She anxiously asked, "How are you? Are you badly hurt? Just now..."
Jiangnan grinned: "This time counts as 'next time,' right? Do you trust me? Will you come with me?"
The Bose Body's eyes were filled with tears, her lips trembling slightly as she nodded repeatedly: "I trust you! In this world, you're the only one I trust! I'll come with you!"
Jiangnan's smile grew even brighter. He took a deep breath, swung the halberd, and slammed it fiercely against the plasma cage.
The light barrier was completely destroyed.
The Bose Body instantly broke free, tears flying everywhere as she threw herself into Jiangnan's arms like a swallow returning to its nest, holding him tightly.
Jiangnan: )ૢ⁼̴̤̆ᴗ⁼̴̤̆ૢ
It really does feel like hugging an icy jelly!
So great!
Seeing this, Buffett completely lost it. The Bose Body they had finally captured was being released?
"Jiangnan! How dare you! How dare you!"
Jiangnan rolled his eyes: "Nonsense! Sector 53 is already flattened. What else wouldn't I dare to do?"
But the Bose Body was very worried about Jiangnan's condition, because she could barely feel his heartbeat.
"We need to go quickly! If we don't leave now, it'll be too late. I'm very weak right now and can't fight a Dao Heaven."
Jiangnan chuckled: "Running away is a must! But before that..."
"Let me dig up some meteorites first!"
A piece of iron meteorite this big—how much money would that be worth? Why leave it behind?
Bose Body: ???
Hey hey hey! What time is it? You're about to die, and you're still digging up meteorites?
If you like them, I can go out to outer space and bring some back for you later!
Just leave them!
But Jiangnan didn't care at all. He teleported down to the meteorite crater.
In his extreme state, he probably couldn't swing the halberd anymore, but if it came to picking up treasures, that was a different story.
Right now, if you gave Jiangnan a sack full of money, he could still carry it up eight flights of stairs.
He grabbed the huge meteorite with both hands, spat out three mouthfuls of old blood, and somehow managed to stuff it into the Alternate Dimension.
Underneath was Quinn.
At this point, Quinn was almost flattened into a photo, completely black all over—carbon-grilled frog, anyone?
He still had one breath left, barely alive. The vitality of a Star Glory rank was truly tenacious.
But Jiangnan didn't have time to deal with him. He had to run.
He grabbed the Bose Body's little hand and teleported wildly, going as far as he possibly could.
If he had more time, he would definitely dig up all the meteorites and take them away!
Buffett was going crazy, but there was nothing he could do about Jiangnan and the Bose Body.
Chasing them was useless because he had no way to capture the Bose Body.
Seeing the many spirit beasts rampaging all over the place, he couldn't just stand by and let all of Sector 53's people be killed.
So he had to dodge lava spit while suppressing the spirit disaster.
"Dammit! Why isn't Piers here yet? It's already too late!"
No one could have imagined that Jiangnan would actually take advantage of the chaos to kidnap the Bose Body.
...
Dazhou Geological Park.
The forests and rocky mountains spanning tens of thousands of miles had been flattened, craters everywhere, looking like it had been bombarded by missiles.
The spatial fluctuations in the air lingered for a long time.
Qian Benying was in a sorry state, her clothes full of tears, stained with blood.
Her pink hair was covered in dust. Dragging her heavily injured body, she leaned under a big tree, her pretty face full of exhaustion.
She pulled out her phone, the screen shattered.
The timer on it stopped at 22 minutes and 35 seconds. She smiled bitterly.
"I did my best. Good luck to you. If you die, I'll be at a huge loss..."
Saying that, she took out a little ginseng and ate it. Instantly, the wounds on her body began to spurt blood. After healing, two streams of blood shot out from her nostrils.
Her little face darkened: "Again?"
[From Qian Benying's Resentment Value +1000!]
[From Qian Benying...]
She barely got up and muttered to herself: "Time to go. If I don't leave soon, I won't be able to."
...
Meanwhile, in the Dragon Abyss headquarters command room, everyone stared blankly at the snowy screen.
"The picture's gone? What's going on?"
"After Jiangnan rushed into the lab, we couldn't see anything. How is he? Haven't Dao Heaven Ye and the others arrived yet?"
"What were those dozen or so dazzling lights in the sky in the last frame?"
"Give me the picture! Picture! Hurry!"
Bai Qianxun's fingers flew across the keyboard, then she looked stunned: "Reporting to the Secretary-General, the Tianshu Satellite Chain's Satellite 47 was destroyed by a meteorite!"
Everyone was stunned. Meteorite? Seriously?
A meteorite hit the satellite? Those dozen lights at the end of the picture were meteorites?
Yang Jian urgently said: "Switch to Satellite 48!"
Bai Qianxun: "Already in progress. The satellite still needs 3 minutes to reach the scheduled orbit and filming point."
For those three minutes, everyone's hearts were burning with anxiety, unbearable.
How was Nan Shen doing?
The lab was the most heavily guarded place. Jiangnan went in alone—that was jumping right into the fire!
Finally, after the anxious wait, the picture came through.
"Uh... Xiao Bai, are you sure you're filming the right place?"
"No doubt about it. That's Flat Valley Volcano."
"So where's Sector 53?"
"It's... gone?"
From the satellite image, the entire Sector 53 had disappeared. All that remained were meteorite craters still smoking.
Everyone's eyes widened in shock.
The meteor shower just now hit Sector 53? Could it be any more accurate?
Before, they couldn't find Sector 53 on the map because it was hidden.
But now... they really couldn't find it!
Shanmao and the others exchanged glances. There really was a meteor shower!
But nowhere on the screen could they find Jiangnan's figure. Everyone was frantic.
Had Jiangnan been crushed by a meteorite?
But Shanmao said firmly: "Xiao Nan has probably already escaped."
Everyone's eyes turned to Shanmao.
"Why do you say that?"
Shanmao pointed at the largest meteorite crater: "Look, all the other craters have meteorites, but the biggest one doesn't."
"Xiao Nan must have dug it up. Only he would do something like picking up treasures in a crisis."
"And he must have left in a hurry, otherwise, he wouldn't have left a single meteorite behind."
Everyone was stunned. Do you know Nan Shen that well?
But on second thought, that analysis made a lot of sense!
Jiangnan had already kidnapped the Bose Body and escaped?
Thinking of that, everyone's expressions grew excited. Could Nan Shen really bring back a big surprise?
Just then, Li Mietu, who had been rubbing his chin in thought, suddenly spoke: "No! Something's wrong!"
Yang Jian was startled: "What's wrong?"
Li Mietu's expression turned serious: "Meteorites always fall into meteorite craters. All the other meteorites have fallen into their craters. Only the biggest crater has no meteorite."
"Could it be that the meteorite hasn't fallen yet? And why do meteorites always fall into meteorite craters? That's what's strange!"
As soon as he said that, everyone looked at Li Mietu like he was an idiot.
Wang Zhengyang glared: "Why do meteorites fall into meteorite craters? Because you've got a brain embolism!"
Tang Shi nodded in agreement: "At least 20 years' worth."
