Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

Chapter 1709: Premature Detonation

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

No, it was not a glass wall. To be more precise, it was a completely transparent cotton wall.

The ordinary citizens who crashed into it did not sustain bruises on their faces. Instead, they felt an extremely gentle buffering force that penetrated their bodies and traveled to the citizens behind them.

Usually, if a huge team crashed into something and stopped abruptly, the people behind them would definitely fail to stop. If they crashed into the people in front of them, they would definitely be knocked over.

However, as this gentle force buffered, everyone miraculously stopped at the same time and stood firmly on the spot.

Also, the ordinary citizens, who had been crowding together and fleeing in panic, were divided into two teams as a result.

Between the two teams was an open space that was more than twenty to thirty meters long.

Just as the two teams of citizens looked at each other across the open space, Meng Chao, who was mixed in the crowd, lightly stepped on the ground again. Along the ground, he injected weak spirit energy into the foundation of the building next to him.

The spirit energy surged into the spirit energy transmission tubes between the third and fifth floors of the building like living lightning.

The friction between spirit energy of different natures formed extremely dangerous vortexes, which finally broke through the critical point under Meng Chao’s encouragement.

Sparks appeared from the depths of the spirit energy transmission tubes and spread out at the speed of lightning, turning into a hissing fire snake in an instant.

The fire snake danced and crawled out of the tube, detonating the inflammable and explosive organs and materials of the monsters in the warehouse more than ten seconds in advance.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Earsplitting thunder immediately echoed from the depths of the building. Dazzling brilliance was flashing out as if several hundred balls of lightning were crashing inside.

As the blast swept across the place like a burning hurricane, the monster organs and crystal materials that were reacting intensely, the charred corpses of thousands of fierce rats, the shattered reinforced concrete, and the shards of sharp glass windows all turned into a meteor shower. They then splashed onto the street directly below.

All the citizens were shocked into a blank by the earth-shattering series of explosions.

It was as if they had been injected with a muscle-freezing agent. Forget about escaping, even their ability to scream was sealed.

When the superhumans not far away saw the sudden scene, their eyes almost exploded, and their pupils bled. However, they could not do anything about it.

At that critical moment, layers and layers of soft but powerful spirit energy ripples were once again released from the soles of Meng Chao’s feet.

The spirit energy ripples rapidly entered the burning and exploding building at lightning speed.

Soon, something unbelievable happened.

When his spirit energy was added to the complex spirit reactions inside the building, the chaotic spirit flames suddenly became clear and controllable.

Even the dangerous debris that started to burn after being blown out of the building by the shock wave gathered together and fell onto the empty street twenty to thirty meters between the two groups of citizens.

This section of the street was seemingly being attacked by a meteor shower. Amidst the hair-raising crackling sounds, several hundred thousand densely packed holes appeared on the ground in an instant. The originally-smooth asphalt road became… an ugly hornet’s nest.

The scene caused the ordinary citizens on both sides to gasp.

They could completely imagine how tragic the casualties would have been if they had not inexplicably moved forward or stopped but had continued to cluster together and pass through the bottom of the building slowly and messily instead.

Boom!

Right then, another earth-shaking explosion was heard inside the building.

The organs of the most abundant, unstable, and dangerous beasts and high-level crystals were stored in the core of the warehouse. But they were now being detonated.

In the beginning, if all the dangerous products had been detonated at the same time after more than twenty seconds of preparation, the damage would have been enough to destroy the entire block in an instant.

However, since the dangerous goods on the periphery had exploded first, the shock wave that was released in advance severely damaged the building’s floor.

The so-called explosion was like water flowing down to the lowest point. It was the most violent energy that was ruthlessly released toward the most vulnerable place.

Now, the vertical downward floor had already been blasted into thousands of holes and even turned into rubble.

The unprecedented flames and shock waves naturally rushed downward.

Right below this building was the intersection of two underground rail lines. Through various sidewalks, ventilation ducts, and maintenance channels, it connected the entire underground space.

At this moment, a large number of rat-type monsters were lying in wait on these sidewalks, in the ventilation ducts, and in the maintenance channels.

Tens of thousands of rat-type monsters stared at each other with their small scarlet eyes. They gnashed their sharp teeth repeatedly in the pipes and corners of the walls. They wriggled, twitched, and squeezed together, forming a strong stench. The black rat tide was waiting for the wave in front to climb up to the ground through the manhole. They followed closely behind, breathing in fresh air, and the strongest smell of blood.

When the shock wave, which was mixed with strong poisonous gas and raging flames, came crashing down from above their heads, these biological weapons, which were only controlled by their killing instinct, were still dreaming of feasting.

By the time they heard a boom that was even more intense than the rat tide and akin to a volcanic eruption, it was too late for them to escape.

To escape as quickly as possible, the fierce rats had hidden in the depths of the ground and gathered near the manhole three to five meters above the ground. As a result, they were squeezed like canned rat meat.

Many of the smaller fierce rats had already been stepped on by their companions, and they suffocated to death.

When the storm of death descended from the sky, these fierce rats could not even move their tails.

In the almost closed space, the power of the explosion increased exponentially.

Many of the fierce rats’ internal organs and brains shattered the moment the explosion occurred.

Some fierce rats lived for a few more seconds before they were crushed into meat pies by the collapsed reinforced concrete, while others were firmly blocked in the closed space, leaving only a path of suffocation and death.

A few of the rats still had room to struggle. However, they discovered in despair that from the cracks in the shattered reinforced concrete above their heads, all kinds of burning acid and poisonous fog were seeping in. The threatening fog was infiltrating and taking away their vitality.

Some of the rats that had a large amount of Blood Flower spores in their bodies and extremely tenacious vitality were not willing to die just like that.

Along with waves of bone-breaking and flesh-tearing sounds, Blood Flowers that were waving their scarlet tentacles burst out from their charred corpses.

Despite that, their surroundings were either collapsed reinforced concrete or constantly flowing flames. There was no road leading to the ground.

No matter how ferocious and strange the Blood Flowers were, they were still carbon-based creatures.

Flames would always be the best weapon against carbon-based creatures.
