A powerful mental field struck in less than a thousandth of a second. The strongest one finally made its move. The silver rays of the mental field formed a dense net of light at the exit. As soon as the net of light was formed, it suddenly emitted an extremely bright silver light. Xia Lan's body, which had already reached the outside of the exit, suddenly stopped as if it had braked suddenly. Then she quickly retreated back, as if the net of light had an extremely strong suction force.
The hidden figure flashed again, and amidst the roars of several super strong individuals, Ling Yun swiftly pounced forward. His five fingers emitted a blazing silver light, tearing the light net to shreds in a few moves. Xia Lan felt the suction force loosen, and her body shot outward in a straight line.
With several loud bangs, the super-strong individuals reacted swiftly, launching counterattacks. Several psychic beams of light struck Ling Yun; at such close range, even the strongest could not dodge. Ling Yun grunted; this was no time for arrogance. The energy of the yellow book's barrier instantly formed a shimmering silver shield on his body, blocking all the attacks.
Xia Lan didn't turn her head, running outside with all her might. Tears welled up in her beautiful eyes and she couldn't help but let them spill over. Ling Yun's voice rang in her mind again, with only one simple word: "Run!"
At this moment, she had lost her sense of direction and only knew that she should get as far away from the main control base of the Superpower Bureau as possible. As the most outstanding young genius of the Superpower Headquarters, Xia Lan knew very well why Ling Yun had made his move. She only hated that she was not strong enough to help Ling Yun and had become a burden to him at the most critical moment.
Ling Yun will do everything in her power to block the attacks of the world's top super-powered organizations, buying her enough time to escape. At this time, any hesitation or reluctance would be tantamount to harming Ling Yun. The greatest help Xia Lan can give Ling Yun is to run as far away as possible, until she is out of the jurisdiction of the Superpower Bureau.
Xia Lan's heart trembled violently. Self-blame and resentment gnawed at her heart like venomous snakes, making her feel a burning pain with every breath. How she wanted to turn around and look at that determined young man again, but she couldn't. Not only could she not show her reluctance, but she also had to leave as quickly as possible. The extreme inner conflict and pain almost made Xia Lan faint.
Lingyun, wait for me, I will definitely come back to rescue you, please... please don't die! Xia Lan's tears finally couldn't be held back and fell down, turning into crystal teardrops in the wind, sprinkling on the dry brown earth.
On the eastern horizon, the newly risen sun peeked out with dazzling brilliance, illuminating the graceful figure that was swiftly running across the barren land.
Aside from Weish, the five deputy directors were practically red-eyed with rage. What kind of mess was this? On their own turf, five super-strong individuals had joined forces, yet one of the two outsiders still managed to escape. If word got out, the Supernatural Abilities Bureau would lose all face.
Two deputy directors immediately stepped forward to capture the escaped superhuman. The target possessed a mysterious invisibility ability, and if he ran far away, no one but Wesh would be able to find him.
The other three super strong individuals attacked Ling Yun together, even using their full strength. Although they knew it was inappropriate and could potentially kill him instantly, they couldn't care less in their rage.
Vish took a small step forward, intending to stop this scene, but after thinking for a moment, he withdrew his hand. It wasn't that he didn't want to save them, but he could tell that this super strong expert who stayed behind wouldn't die so easily. He hadn't expected this super strong expert with his special stealth technique to be such a loyal and compassionate fellow, willing to stay behind himself to do everything in his power to send his companion away.
The four mental energy fields collided violently, creating an air storm that resembled the end of the world. Countless air vortices bloomed and disappeared under the silver mental energy field, and rare pure white flames with temperatures of over a thousand degrees Celsius burned at the exit of the barrier as if they were being sprayed from a flamethrower.
The two super-strong individuals had only run a few dozen meters when they suddenly seemed to sense something. They stopped and looked back to see two ghostly blue energy flames silently coiling around them. Unlike other flames, these energy flames were extremely domineering and could not be extinguished even by a mental energy field. They were quite troublesome to deal with, so the two deputy directors had no choice but to stop and grit their teeth to patiently deal with this strange thing that had appeared out of nowhere.
The collision of mental energy fields reached a fever pitch in the blink of an eye. Ling Yun gritted his teeth and endured the immense pressure. The power of a super strong person was no joke. In just a moment, he felt himself unable to hold on. If it were any other mid-level strong person inside, they would have been turned into mincemeat by now.
The deputy directors exchanged glances. Their target was already trapped. The outcome of the battle of mental energy fields would soon be decided, and capturing Ling Yun was only a matter of time.
boom!
A deafening roar unexpectedly rang in everyone's ears!
Chapter 380 Neutrino Bomb
Even the strongest individuals were stunned by the deafening roar, their mental energy fields momentarily weakening. Before they could react, the group abruptly stopped attacking, staring dumbfounded at the exit. Even Wesh's seemingly unchanging face showed shock, as if he had witnessed something unbelievable.
Ling Yun finally got a chance to catch his breath. Although he didn't know why his opponent suddenly stopped attacking, he knew that if he didn't run away now, when would he? Ling Yun made a quick decision, and with a flash of silver light, he turned into a blur and flew out of the barrier.
However, Ling Yun immediately flew back at twice the speed of his escape, his body, which had barely stood firm under the full force of the four super-strong individuals' attacks, became unsteady and nearly fell to the ground. Fortunately, the super-strong individuals cleared the way in time, otherwise they would have been smashed away by Ling Yun along with them.
Along with Ling Yun, a beam of white light entered—an extremely bright beam, devoid of any meaning, but brimming with abundant energy. If the light's speed were slowed down, countless miniature, dazzling mushroom clouds could be seen rising slowly. The light was incredibly thin, only as thick as an arm, but the moment it entered the barrier, it transformed the entire space into a white ocean.
The instant they saw the white light, all the super-strong individuals closed their eyes; otherwise, such brightness would have ignited their eyes into two fireballs. As the white light spread, everyone unleashed their mental energy fields to the maximum, desperately resisting the overwhelming shockwave. The silver light appeared so insignificant in the white ocean that it couldn't even reveal its pure silver color; white reigned supreme.
Wesh took a deep breath. He only had time to make a few strange hand gestures before the white light released its energy. Then, like the other deputy directors of the Superpower Bureau, he quickly set up his mental field for protection. In the midst of his busy schedule, he still had time to glance at Ling Yun, who had been thrown in in a disheveled state. At this moment, all of Ling Yun's concealment and disguise had been shattered in the face of the powerful force. To Wesh's surprise, this powerful target was actually a teenager.
The barrier space was rapidly changing. Countless ethereal stars fell from above, quickly growing larger and becoming transparent, forming transparent light shields that protected the weaker ability users. At the most critical moment, Wesh activated the barrier's strongest defense system, forcibly extracting energy from the power reactor. This would significantly reduce the lifespan of the barrier's high-tech components, but to avoid total annihilation, the lesser of two evils had to be chosen.
The white light relentlessly and wantonly destroyed the spatial structure of the barrier, instantly creating countless gaping holes within it. Before the defense system could automatically repair itself, countless new holes appeared in the spatial dimension. The low- and mid-level ability users huddled together inside the light shield, trembling. The white light mercilessly eroded the shield's protective membrane; in the blink of an eye, only a thin layer remained. Fortunately, the defense system was sturdy and durable, maintaining its stability even amidst the turbulent storm. The shield was constantly being smoothed out by the shockwaves, only to be replaced by new layers.
Many novice ability users, even under the protection of the light shield, could not withstand the immense pressure. Their mental energy field automatically shut down their consciousness, and they fainted.
Six super-strong individuals struggled to form a circle within the ocean of light and fire, working together to arrange their mental energy fields into a simple array. This array blocked the most rampant portion of the ocean of light from the barrier's defense. Looking at the shaky barrier, which was already showing spatial cracks, each of them felt their hearts bleed. This was a base and barrier painstakingly built by generations of people from the Superpower Bureau over decades, and it had never made a mistake before. Now, in the blink of an eye, it was already showing signs of collapse. How could this not cause them sadness and anger?
A swaying figure stood up in the playful sea of light. The golden light of the Eye of Illusion flashed briefly in the ocean of white light before disappearing. However, as the energy aura concealed, the shockwave of the white light actually pierced through the figure, as if the figure were just a non-existent illusion.
The figure continued to stagger towards the exit, which was no longer a door but had been torn into irregular holes by the raging storm. Ling Yun, like an old man suffering from a long illness, shuffled towards the door step by step. Although his movements were extremely slow, no one could stop him anymore.
Although the powerful figures couldn't open their eyes, their senses made little difference whether they had visual organs or not. However, they were currently struggling against the shockwave and couldn't concentrate at all, let alone speak. Although they were unwilling, they could only watch Ling Yun slowly leave, and their hearts were burning with resentment.
"Who are you? Why did you steal our secrets and use a neutrino bomb to bomb us?" A solemn voice suddenly rang out in Ling Yun's mind. Without turning around, Ling Yun knew who it was. Apart from the strongest, Wesh, no one could communicate telepathically while resisting the shockwave.
“I can’t tell you who I am. The reason I’m here is to rescue someone, my companion from earlier. She was supposedly kidnapped by a super-powerful individual from your Superpower Bureau. I have no ill intentions towards the Superpower Bureau and thought the kidnapping was just a frame-up. But unfortunately, I found my companion in your underground base. So, your bureau should investigate its own problems first. Someone will come to question me, and then you will naturally know my identity. As for the neutrino bomb, I have no idea what that is.” Ling Yun didn’t stop walking and answered Weish directly in the consciousness communication.
"Wait, you mean our people kidnapped your companion? You're just here to rescue him?" Wesh's surprised voice came through urgently.
“Yes,” Ling Yun said.
How do I know if what you're saying is true?
"Do you think I would need to lie to you, Chief?"
"The one who kidnapped your companion is a super strong person? All the super strong people in our Special Abilities Bureau are here. You can identify who did it?" Wesh hesitated for a moment before saying.
“It wasn’t these people. I’ve already said it could be a frame-up, but my companion was indeed found in the storage room of the underground base. You’re the director, how do you explain this?” Ling Yun’s cold voice rang out.
"I know absolutely nothing about this. I just got back from Europe today, and this happened before I even entered the barrier. How am I supposed to answer you like this?" Wesh couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was indeed helpless. He had just returned from Europe and unexpectedly encountered the leak of base secrets. Before he could even figure things out, the shockwave from the neutrino bomb swept everything away.
Neutrino bombs are among the most advanced defense technologies and weapons developed countries in the world. In terms of sophistication, they are even more complex than nuclear weapons. Because bomb research is still in the laboratory stage, all countries keep it a secret and conduct research in secret. Of course, what is a national secret that ordinary people cannot know has become common news for people with superpowers. As the director of the Superpower Bureau, Wish, who is only under the leadership of the president, has naturally seen the power of this terrifying thing.
However, what was unexpected was that the Bureau of Supernatural Abilities base would become one of the victims of the experiment. Judging from the extent of the radiation and shockwave, this should be the most powerful neutrino bomb test subject. Although the bomb body was less than the size of a palm, in terms of the destructive power in the area, the neutrino bomb was even more powerful than a miniature nuclear bomb.
"That's your business, Mr. Wesh. You're the director of the Bureau of Supernatural Abilities, you shouldn't be asking me that." Ling Yun shrugged. Under the neutrino bombs raging in the ocean, he was also experiencing a huge impact. Fortunately, after the Eye of Illusion concealed its energy, it was able to shield the energy attack of the shock wave as well, which surprised and delighted Ling Yun.
The shockwave at the exit began to weaken rapidly, a sign that the neutrino storm was about to pass. Ling Yun quickened his pace. Although he didn't know who was so ruthless as to place a neutrino bomb at the entrance of the Superpower Bureau, if he didn't leave now, would he wait for someone to catch up? The shockwave only caused some minor physical tremors, which Ling Yun could easily withstand with his current strength and physical abilities, not to mention his powerful self-healing ability. Thus, the super-strong members of the Superpower Bureau could only watch helplessly as Ling Yun leisurely left, seething with resentment but unable to do anything about it.
In just a few breaths, Ling Yun's figure had disappeared from everyone's sight. Once such a super strong person left, even if Wesh himself chased after him, it would be impossible to catch him. The people from the Superpower Bureau felt their mouths were salty and bitter, as if they had eaten bitter melon. In these few short hours, the Superpower Bureau, which was once as famous as the world, had lost all face. Not only did they allow someone to easily walk into the base and swagger around, but they also let two superpowered people leave calmly despite having sent out all their best people. What's worse, the power of the neutrino bomb was not to be underestimated. After the shock wave dissipated, the lifespan of the barrier would probably be over.
Everyone was feeling frustrated and didn't know what to say. The pressure on the mental energy field had greatly decreased, and the deputy directors could have easily jumped out to chase after Ling Yun, who hadn't gone far. But for some reason, no one did.
The luminous ocean suddenly darkened, and the raging storm of neutrinos finally ceased. The six super-powerful beings exchanged wry smiles. The barrier returned to its original state, but the illusory blue sky was now riddled with black cracks, as if painted on by a brush, with sparks and lightning occasionally flickering within them.
Hans tried to input several light images into the space to control the barrier, but after several attempts, the barrier did not respond at all. Although the background changed from bright to dark several times, the barrier, which usually executed commands immediately, finally became completely silent and unresponsive, like a computer that had lost power.
