Chapter 192 Today’s cicada sheds its shell
Bad Army Base in Bayita City.

Just half an hour after the nuclear explosion that shocked the world occurred in the Manaus Industrial Park, an AH-64E Apache armed helicopter quickly took off from the runway of the Bad Army Base in Bayita City.

This well-equipped "Nautilus" quickly disappeared into the night sky like a sharp arrow in the dark night.

More than an hour later, the helicopter arrived over the Manaus Industrial Park, which was still filled with smoke and unknown danger.

In the cabin, Jiang Sheng, wearing a special anti-nuclear suit, jumped out from an altitude of more than 500 meters without hesitation, like a powerful eagle heading towards the target area.

He did not take any buffering measures and allowed his body to impact towards the ground at an acceleration of approximately 55 meters per second.

However, at the critical moment when he was only about 10 meters from the ground, he suddenly activated his mental force field.

A powerful force instantly enveloped the falling body, as if time had been frozen, and his figure suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Then he landed leisurely on the devastated ground. This scene was like a god coming to earth. If anyone saw it, they would definitely exclaim a god.

At this moment, two hours have passed since the nuclear explosion.

Immediately afterwards, he used his strong force to grab the gap, and with a violent tear, he tore the elevator door open.

However, when these armor-piercing pills that could destroy tanks came into contact with the body-protecting Qi formed by Jiang Sheng's body, they returned in vain, making only a dull impact and falling to the ground one after another. .

The originally tall and lush trees and vegetation were uprooted in the shock wave and scattered across the charred land. The ground landscape was drastically changed by the force of the explosion, and the roads bulged or collapsed into huge potholes.

Turning his head and looking around, Jiang Sheng witnessed the tragic scene within one kilometer of the center of the nuclear explosion.

He approached the humanoid and turned it over.

After the high-power charge mixed with TNT and RDX exploded, the armor-piercing pills, which were enough to penetrate the tank armor, shot out quickly driven by the shock wave.

Despite the body-protecting Gangqi protection, he could still feel the scorching heat remaining in the air. It was the terrifying residual temperature that could not dissipate in a short period of time after the nuclear explosion.

His figure flashed into the interior, where there were several high-speed elevators leading below, as well as steps similar to fire escapes,

With the help of the control of the mental force field, his body slowly descended, as if walking on flat ground.

This corpse showed an unusual shape and was two meters long. The limbs and joints were abnormally thick, obviously exceeding the normal human proportions. In particular, the palms and soles were deformed and swollen, which was shocking.

Three of the large craters were the center points of the nuclear bomb explosion. The reinforced concrete below was melted by the high temperature, revealing a crater leading to the underground fortress.

Jiang Sheng remained calm and calmly walked into the elevator shaft that was damaged beyond recognition.

Although the Japanese set up ambushes inside the elevator shaft and set up multiple explosives, including poison gas bombs, it was a pity that they were of no use.

There is an obvious depression in the chest area, and a huge steel plate penetrates it. The front end of the steel plate even melts at high temperature and is adhered to the flesh.

He immediately took off his bulky radiation protection suit.

The once towering building is now in ruins, with broken walls and twisted steel bars exposed, like a toy model that has been torn apart by giants.

This scene clearly proves that the creature was indeed located in the core area of ​​​​the nuclear explosion before dying, enduring fatal radiation and impact damage.

The anti-tank mines that were triggered instantly exploded one after another the next second.

He turned around and continued exploring forward.

Under the night, fires were burning among the ruins.

Not only that, he could also feel a faint threat from behind the stairs and elevators. It was obvious that Xiaori had arranged traps and hidden weapons behind them.

The deafening loud noise echoed in the empty underground space.

He walked straight to the elevator door and kicked it violently.

The uncomfortable aura disappeared immediately.

With a sharp sound of metal twisting, the thick elevator door hinges broke due to the heavy impact, and a crack appeared on the door panel.

However, the elevators had stopped running at this time, and the stairs were blocked by a huge alloy steel door comparable to a bank vault door, making it impossible to go any further.

The steel door leading to the underground bunker was melted, leaving a gap large enough for people to pass through.

He let his true Qi flow outward, forming a layer of protective Qi of about 0.5 centimeters on the body surface, and at the same time, his breathing turned to internal breathing.

Soon he came to the center of the nuclear explosion. The temperature here was even higher, and even the air seemed to be distorted by the high temperature.

This area seemed to have been baptized by the end of the world, with almost no buildings spared.

"Boom boom boom——"

At this time, two hours had passed since the nuclear explosion occurred, but the moment he landed, Jiang Sheng felt an uncomfortable breath flowing in the air. If nothing else, it should be nuclear radiation.

He immediately thought of the genetic warrior project secretly developed by the Nippon Zaibatsu - super warriors transformed through biotechnology.

He flew and landed in the pothole.

Thick smoke billowed into the sky, like a demonic dance in the darkness, indicating the destructive power of this disaster.

While walking, his eyes locked on a strange humanoid corpse next to a collapsed building.

In the end, even though the elevator shaft suffered repeated explosions and was in disarray, Jiang Sheng still reached the bottom level unscathed.

Jiang Sheng walked over and kicked the twisted steel door. In an instant, his power was like thunder, tearing the already fragile steel door into a huge gap that was large enough to pass through.

It is easy to see from the traces on it that it did not take long, which means that the benzene below was reinforced against the terrifying high temperature after the nuclear explosion. The purpose was naturally to prevent him from entering.

The scene in front of him was even more horrifying. The face had been completely melted and deformed, and its true appearance could no longer be recognized under the high temperature.

Wearing protective clothing is a sign of respect for the nuclear bomb. Taking off the protective clothing now is a sign of confidence in one's own defense!

At the bottom of the elevator shaft, Jiang Sheng's position was 110 meters deep from the ground, equivalent to the height of dozens of floors.

But this is just a transfer platform to the real underground fortress.

When he walked out of the elevator shaft, what was waiting for him was no longer those modern defense facilities, but two genetic warriors secretly developed by the Nippon-Benzene Zaibatsu.

Jiang Sheng didn't even bother to take action. He directly controlled their heads with his mental force field and twisted them back violently. The heads of the two genetic warriors turned 180 degrees and then collapsed to the ground.

Keep going!

What they encountered next were ordinary security personnel equipped with firearms and ammunition, who launched an attack on Jiang Sheng regardless of their own safety.

In fact, this underground nuclear-proof fortress is really amazing.

Even the special forces would have a hard time breaking in. Flooding and fire would be useless. With the caution of these Nippon Zaibatsu, it is estimated that even the most advanced ground-penetrating missiles in the world would not be able to penetrate.

But when they meet someone as cheating as Jiang Sheng, they can only be considered unlucky.

Get rid of these ordinary security personnel in three strokes, five strokes and two divisions.

Finally, in the core area of ​​​​the underground fortress, Jiang Sheng met this group of mysterious chaebols who controlled the lifeline of Japan's economy and owned 60% of the country's wealth.

When they saw Jiang Sheng walking in, the faces of the chaebols who were already shrouded in fear and panic instantly turned pale, and despair permeated the entire space.

They were so frightened that one of the chaebols couldn't help but kneel on the ground and begged with a trembling voice: "No... please don't kill us!"

Another quickly echoed: "Please, I have endless wealth, and I am willing to dedicate it all to you!"

Others also spoke out, trying to exchange money or any possible conditions for a chance of survival, and some tried to shirk the blame.

"Whatever you want, we can do our best to satisfy you!"

"All this was planned by Taro Miyazaki."

"Yes! We originally intended to surrender to you and were willing to accept any of your conditions, but Taro Miyazaki firmly opposed our decision. He not only restricted our personal freedom, but also insisted on stubborn resistance."

"Yes, it's all Taro Miyazaki's fault. His arbitrary actions pushed us all into a desperate situation."

Everyone nodded and unanimously pointed the finger at Taro Miyazaki.

At this tense and depressing moment, there was a dull sound of footsteps from the door on the left.

Taro Miyazaki, who is about 1.7 meters tall and dressed in traditional Japanese bushido attire, trudged into the room under the escort of two deeply hypnotized security personnel.

Although the chaebols around him begged for mercy, Taro Miyazaki tried to maintain his last dignity.

He straightened his back and roared loudly at the trembling chaebols around him: "You cowards, bastards, you are a disgrace to Japan. No one can truly understand my good intentions..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Jiang Sheng said coldly: "Slap me!"

A harsh slap sounded in the air instantly.

"Clap clap-"

The two hypnotized security guards carried out the orders as accurately as robots and slapped Taro Miyazaki mercilessly.

Taro Miyazaki tried to escape, but two sturdy security guards behind him clamped down on his head, preventing him from moving at all.

After dozens of blows, Taro Miyazaki's teeth were knocked out one by one, and his cheek bones were cracked by the violent impact. The sight of bloody flesh was shocking.

You know, when a normal person slaps someone violently for a long time, the force of the shock will make the palm of his hand unbearably painful, and then the force of the slap will be reduced. It is impossible to break the cheek bones with just the palm of his hand.

However, at this moment, the two security guards who were deeply hypnotized seemed to have lost their sense of pain.

No matter how powerful they are, they can continue to strike without hesitation, even if their hands are broken, they just follow the orders mechanically.

"bring it here!"

Under Jiang Sheng's order, Miyazaki Taro was dragged over.

Jiang Sheng looked at him and asked: "Do you have anything to say? Oh, looking at the sunken cheek bones, I guess you can't say anything. In that case, then go to hell!"

Taro Miyazaki's eyes were filled with madness and unwillingness at this time.

Suddenly a "gurgling" laughter burst out from his throat, even with a hint of mockery.

Jiang Sheng thought quickly, Taro Miyazaki has already reached this point, how can he resist?
He signaled the security to stop breaking Miyazaki Taro's neck and tried to hypnotize Miyazaki Taro.

But what he didn't expect was that Taro Miyazaki couldn't be hypnotized.

He thought of the previous genetic warriors who were also unable to be hypnotized by hypnosis.

Obviously, Tianjinghui has mastered a technology that cannot be hypnotized through biological genes.

The next second, I suddenly remembered that the reason why I came to the underground fortress was not these plutocrats, but them to study super gene data.

And Taro Miyazaki was still so arrogant before his death. It is possible that he understood his intentions...

"not good!"

When he realized the serious threat that the laboratory might face, Jiang Sheng rushed to the laboratory without hesitation, hoping to get all the engineers and experimental data out of the fortress.

However, reality is often more cruel and ruthless than imagined, and he is still a step late.

At this critical moment, a heart-stopping energy fluctuation instantly filled the entire underground fortress.

The next moment, a deafening loud noise rolled from the direction of the laboratory like thunder, and the entire space trembled.

Apparently there was a large-scale explosion in the laboratory. The huge destructive force was like a wild horse, sweeping through the entire underground fortress.

"What's wrong——"

Jiang Sheng cursed angrily, knowing that the situation had reached an irreversible point. Immediately afterwards, a terrifying shock wave rushed over with a scalding heat wave.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the chaebols in the hall were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they screamed and ran towards the only escape exit - the elevator.

However, they were disappointed to find that the passage to the ground had been tightly locked.

If you want to leave this underground fortress, you must obtain the password mastered by Miyazaki Taro to unlock it.

And now, although Taro Miyazaki is here, he has successfully resisted hypnosis by some unknown method, making Jiang Sheng unable to use hypnosis to obtain coded information from him.

Time was running out, and Jiang Sheng made a quick decision, dragging Taro Miyazaki, who was still alive but unable to resist, to retreat quickly in an attempt to escape from this devastating disaster.

Sadly, under such extreme high temperatures and strong shock waves, Taro Miyazaki's signs of life quickly disappeared, and he died of suffocation in just a few seconds.

Other members of the chaebol were also unable to withstand this terrifying high temperature and hypoxic environment.

Their lives fade away in fear and despair.

The scene was in a mess, with bodies scattered everywhere.

The air was filled with a disgusting burnt smell, and the tragic scene was horrifying.

Jiang Sheng came to the laboratory that was burning with blazing flames. The experimenters and equipment inside had been burned beyond recognition.

But what he didn't expect was that under such terrifying high temperatures, there was still life left.

If you look closely, you will see that it is the genetic warrior who is still undergoing experiments.

Jiang Sheng was so depressed that he wished he could pull Miyazaki Taro up and have him whipped.

He was really curious as to what method he used to create those genetic warriors. The abilities of those genetic warriors had completely surpassed the current level of technology.

And what methods did he use to avoid his mental hypnosis?

Unfortunately, all the answers were lost in the fire.

Jiang Sheng stood at the door of the blazing laboratory for a long time, and finally had no choice but to turn around and leave.

While passing by the hall outside, he casually glanced at the bodies on the ground.

Something suddenly occurred to me.

In the chaos and shock after the explosion, Jiang Sheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration and remembered a key thing.

"Miyazaki Taro is an extremely cunning guy. He has always been known for his resourcefulness. He never forgets to leave a way out for himself when dealing with any matter."

"Especially in the research and development of super genetic warriors, he devoted his life's efforts, and even harbored the ambition to use these genetic warriors to restore the former glory of the Japanese Empire."

"However, in this big explosion in the underground fortress, faced with the fact that the genetic warriors he created were destroyed and the laboratory was reduced to ashes, a calculating person like Taro Miyazaki would really willingly put himself at risk. Is a lifetime of hard work just in vain?”

The answer is obviously no.

He firmly believed that the wily Miyazaki Taro must have arranged some kind of escape plan or back-up plan in advance.

So, he acted quickly and carefully checked the situation of every chaebol member present.

Although the heat had begun to melt their facial features.

But through the remaining clothes and body shapes, Jiang Sheng could still barely identify their identities.

However, in the process, he discovered something extremely strange - two crucial personnel were missing!

These two people are Shinya Oda, the president of the largest pharmaceutical company under the Sanwa Consortium.

and Koichi Yamashita, president of the most important biopharmaceutical company under the Mitsui Foundation.

"These two people are not only the core members of the Tenjingkai, but they are also the right-hand men of Taro Miyazaki. How could they disappear?"

Their absence at this moment made Jiang Sheng full of doubts.

"I know, these two guys are the seeds planted by Taro Miyazaki for Japan's future!"

"He deliberately planned this laboratory explosion, on the one hand to destroy key evidence that might reveal secrets, and on the other hand to take this opportunity to cleverly transfer his right-hand man away."

"This fire not only prevented me from continuing to pursue the investigation in depth, but also successfully preserved the results of Taro Miyazaki's painstaking efforts, allowing it to rekindle the fire of Nippon's ambitions at some point in the future."

"Even this Taro Miyazaki might be fake, a substitute for the real Taro Miyazaki..."

Thinking of this, Jiang Sheng couldn't help but marvel at Taro Miyazaki's insidious layout.

"This old fox is really powerful."

"It's a pity that your cleverness was mistaken for you!"

"You think this will help the golden cicada escape from its shell, right? Humph! I'll dig three feet into the ground to find you!"

……

……

Manaus, a Brazilian city located in the heart of the Amazon rainforest, the nuclear explosion in its free trade zone was like a stone thrown into the global lake, causing ripples that quickly spread to every corner of the world.

Although it was only a local explosion caused by three small-yield nuclear bombs, the psychological impact and actual impact it caused far exceeded expectations.

In major financial markets around the world, this news was like a sudden financial storm.

When global stock markets opened in the early morning of the next day, investors' panic was instantly transmitted to every number on the electronic screen.

The stock price index plummeted like a waterfall.

Whether it is Wall Street, the London Stock Exchange or the Tokyo Stock Market, there has been massive selling without exception.

Investors have sought safe havens, causing the overall market value to shrink significantly, and the global economic situation has suddenly become tense.

At the same time, energy and raw materials markets have not been spared.

Prices, which were already volatile due to supply and demand conflicts, geopolitical tensions and other factors, further intensified the fluctuations under the influence of the Manaus nuclear explosion.

Energy prices such as oil and natural gas, as well as raw material prices such as metal minerals, have soared to record highs.

Facing the world food crisis that may be triggered by this, governments in various countries are also taking precautions and taking emergency measures to restrict food exports to ensure the basic living security of domestic people.

Although this series of measures is aimed at protecting the country's interests, it has also aggravated tensions in the global food market and triggered a new round of rising food prices.

When the news reached Japan, the psychological defenses of the Japanese people were severely challenged.

Driven by stress reactions, the public became extremely panicked about radioactive contamination, food shortages and other issues that may be caused by nuclear explosions.

As a result, the streets and alleys presented an unprecedented scene.

Supermarket shelves were empty.

There is a long queue in front of the convenience store.

People with their families and large and small bags crowded the roads. They had the mentality of rather trusting them than trusting them. They rushed towards the airport and dock, hoping to leave this area that seemed to be about to fall into chaos as soon as possible. Niben in the Land of Chaos.

At the same time, the Brazilian government has already conducted countless scenario deductions and formulated crisis response plans, trying to ensure that any emergencies can be resolved within a controllable range.

However, reality is often more cruel than expected.

The panic and impact caused by this disaster caused by a small-yield nuclear bomb cannot be easily quelled or controlled by Brazil alone.

Faced with overwhelming doubts and accusations from the international community, the Brazilian government appears extremely passive and finds it difficult to give a convincing explanation to the world.

After all, no one can accept the absurd reason for a country to pursue and kill a person by launching nuclear weapons.

This will not only become the laughing stock of international public opinion, but may also plunge Brazil into an unprecedented isolation situation.

In fact, the Brazilian government is indeed speechless.

According to the latest intelligence feedback, the target person they regarded as a devil was not in the Japanese Benzene Industrial Park in Manaus when the nuclear explosion occurred, but was in the mold army base in Bayita City.

What's even more shocking is that the three small-yield nuclear bombs that exploded were launched and detonated under the control of that demon.

The current situation is that if the Brazilian government dares to publicly admit that their intention is to eliminate Jiang Sheng, the consequences will be unimaginable.

At this moment, in the underground conference center of the Capitol Building in Rio de Janeiro, a group of senior officials were sitting upright, frowning.

There are intense discussions surrounding this sudden nuclear explosion crisis and the subsequent domestic and international political, economic, security and other aftermaths.

But these issues are beside the point.

They can pretend to be dead because of the criticism from the international community. Anyway, bad luck is also involved, and they are not worried about being actually blocked for this.

But there was one person they had to face - Jiang Sheng.

Just as everyone in the conference room was anxious and panicked, someone suddenly proposed a bold idea loudly and loudly.

"Everyone, now that the matter is over, we might as well work together and continue to chase each other! Otherwise, wouldn't our previous efforts be in vain?"

However, her claim was immediately strongly refuted by the head of the Ministry of Defense.

"Senior Rowena, I'm afraid you are overwhelmed by fear and impulse."

"Do you know how terrifying that person is? He can control nuclear bombs and turn Manaus into rubble in an instant. This means that he may break into this place at any time and completely wipe out all of us!"

The words of the head of the Ministry of National Defense were full of seriousness and warning.

At this moment, another senior military figure interjected with a solemn expression.

His voice was low and powerful: "Please everyone must clearly realize that our underground bunkers are sufficient to resist attacks by conventional ground troops."

"But Jiang Sheng is no ordinary warrior. He is an existence that cannot be measured by common sense. He is as omnipresent and omnipotent as the devil. We cannot deal with him with our inherent defense system alone."

The words of this military boss were like a huge stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples in circles and making all the senior officials present feel deeply worried.

Councilor Rowena, who had insisted on the pursuit strategy before, was speechless and turned pale after this deafening reminder.

Reality is often cruel and ruthless.

When these dignitaries discuss war strategies, as long as their own safety is not involved, they have no hesitation in advocating fighting to the last soldier.

However, when they are truly facing life and death, when they may become victims, their courage becomes so fragile.

The lives of the soldiers may be just a series of cold numbers in their eyes, but when it is their turn, each one is a living life, and each one is extremely precious.

Finally, the Brazilian president, who was sitting at the top, broke his silence after careful consideration and proposed a relatively moderate but more sensible plan.

"Since the situation is so serious, I think we should seek opportunities to negotiate with Jiang Sheng. Perhaps we can find a solution to the problem through dialogue and avoid further escalation of the conflict and the harm of more innocent lives."

This sentence was like a life-saving straw, giving everyone a chance to breathe temporarily, and at the same time, it also gave a step up to those who suggested fighting.

……

On the morning of the third day after the Manaus nuclear explosion, under the mediation of a certain big country in the East, Jiang Sheng and Brazil's government started a face-to-face conversation.

Under the gaze of thousands of people, Jiang Sheng, like a demon, slowly landed from the air at the door of the Capitol Building in Rio de Janeiro.
