Wasteland Love Game

Chapter 278 272. Necessary sacrifice

The live broadcast in the Holy Land is still going on.Holding the sword in one hand, Chu Jianlai walked slowly towards the depths of the holy ground.

As Chen Entropy said, the "Holy Land" is actually a giant nuclear reactor.It's just that it was deified by the sky city government and became a tool to control the beliefs of the people.

Chu Jianlai was walking in the deep passage, and the radiant heat wave kept rushing towards him.Every time he took a few steps forward, he felt the temperature around him rise a bit, as if every inch of his skin was being burned.

The camera mechanical spider following Chu Jianlai was also affected by the high temperature radiation, and it stuttered as it walked, as if it had malfunctioned.

——If there really is a sword in the Holy Land, then that sword must be a weapon of famous soldiers.

Chu Jianlai looked at the iron sword in his hand, which was so hot that it was about to melt, and thought silently.

After getting this sword, Chu Jianlai can logically become the king of this city and wield supreme power.The life and death of all the people in this city depend on his thought, and he is the king of the sky.

One swing of the sword can summon thousands of troops. Isn't this the most powerful weapon in the world?

If it was ten years ago, such a great opportunity would definitely make him ecstatic, thinking that he was the chosen one who was favored by heaven.

But today, ten years later, Chu Jianlai did not feel any excitement about his current opportunity.

Ten years had brought him great changes, and he had no desire for power and fame.

What he wanted was so simple, that is to behead all the culprits who participated in the extermination of the clan.He chose to enter the Holy Land and draw his sword just to help Chen Entropy, an ally who was willing to avenge him.

Thinking of his experience after coming to Sky City, Chu Jianlai felt extremely absurd.He originally just accompanied Chen Entropy to investigate a workshop, but in the end, the city was full of ups and downs, and finally turned into a tumultuous battle for the throne.

Chu Jianlai walked dozens of steps along the passage of the Holy Land.He only felt that the surrounding environment was getting hotter and hotter, as if it was going to melt his flesh and blood.

It seemed that the nuclear radiation was too strong, and the skin of Chu Jianlai's whole body began to show signs of ulceration, and his brain trembled violently, making him feel dizzy.

"Pa-ta!" A strand of blood flowed out of Chu Jianlai's nasal cavity and dripped onto the ground.

There are various signs that his body has begun to gradually collapse due to the intense radiation.

The mechanical spider who was in charge of taking pictures behind him could no longer withstand such a harsh environment, and collapsed powerlessly on the ground.Chu Jianlai turned around staggeringly, walked to the side of the mechanical spider, picked it up, and carried it on his shoulder at the angle of taking a selfie.

"Go on." Chu Jianlai said in a low voice, and continued to drag his steps forward.

In the conference room of the White Cloud Palace, King Dickassang and his ministers sat around a long table.They all had iron-faced expressions, as if they had received some terrible news.

"Report to the king, we just received a report." An official picked up the communicator and carefully reported:

"The signal base station we used for external communication was bombed, and now we can no longer contact Yeshu City."

"I'm not deaf, I can't hear such a loud explosion outside!" King Dekasang forced himself to collapse on the chair, his voice trembling:
"Then did you send the news before they blow up the base station?"

At this moment, the male secretary at the side stepped forward and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness"

"What are you sorry for?" King Dickassang turned his head and asked through gritted teeth.

"The foreign affairs department just sent a message saying that the information they sent to Yeshu City for the first time was intercepted by hackers. It seems that they are the same person or organization as the hackers who hijacked the signal base station." The male secretary pushed the frame of his glasses with a full tone. sad:
"When they tried to send information to Yehu City for the second time, the signal base station was blown up."

Hearing this news, King Dikasang finally couldn't hold back anymore.He stood up with glaring eyes, the mechanical engines of both arms started at the same time, and he directly raised his hand to overturn the conference table, causing all the ministers to shrink to the side and tremble.

"My lord, please calm down!" His male secretary was the first to go up to appease the king:

"It's not at the end of the mountain yet, think about whether there is any other way!"

"My lord, the enemy has far more cards than we imagined." An official also boldly stepped forward to persuade:

"But you still have us! We are all loyal to you! Even if they succeed in seizing power, we will do our best to assist you in escaping"

It seemed that because the official said something unlucky, King Dekasang suddenly glared at him fiercely, and wanted to throw his fist at him.

Fortunately, his male secretary stopped him in time, so that the official didn't directly splatter blood on the spot.

The king, who had nowhere to vent his anger, could only stand there panting.After staring at the live broadcast for a long time with his blood-red hateful eyes, he sat back on the chair again and asked:
"My dear friends, what else can you do?"

In the live broadcast, Chu Jianlai had already gone deep into the Holy Land.As the king, Dickassang knew that this man only needed to advance about [-] steps to get the holy sword, and the city would be transformed into a new sky by then.

At this moment, an official with a "Department of Energy" badge on his chest stepped forward and gave his advice:
"My lord, the nuclear reactor where the Holy Land is located is one of the important energy sources of our sky city, so our "Ministry of Energy" is well aware of it and has full control over it. "

King Dekasang seemed to feel that the official from the Ministry of Energy had a plan in mind, so he nodded and said: "Speak up!"

"There are 25 layers of protective measures in this nuclear reactor to prevent nuclear leakage. But even so, if you enter the nuclear reactor rashly, you will still suffer serious nuclear radiation damage." The official of the Ministry of Energy picked up a document, confident said:
"That thief does have a powerful self-healing ability, but as long as I remove the protective measures of the nuclear reactor and let the radiation inside the reactor leak out with heat, no matter how strong his self-healing ability is, his body will evaporate in an instant !"

The proposal of the Ministry of Energy officials surprised everyone present, but the king's male secretary was full of doubts about the proposal:

"If nuclear radiation leaks out, won't the residents of "Bahamut" be affected?The upper zone might not be affected, but what about the residents of the middle zone?What about the workers on the lower floors who maintain vital equipment?Don't they have to worry about it? "

"But now is not the time to take care of the residents!" The officials of the Ministry of Energy were a little anxious:
"Residents are just a series of numbers after all, and it's normal to go up and down! Instead of watching those traitors take the city, it's better to sacrifice some residents to keep the throne!"

The Ministry of Energy official seemed to have some truth in what he said, but the male secretary still seemed unable to accept such a statement.He turned his head anxiously, wanting to ask the king's opinion.

"If you can't come up with a better solution, then do it this way." After a moment of silence, King Dekasang said calmly:
"These are necessary sacrifices!"

"Your Majesty the King." The male secretary took a deep breath in disbelief, his eyes were a little astonished.

But when he thought that this was the king's request, he could only nod slightly, and said to the ministers:
"Since His Majesty the King ordered it, why not execute it quickly?!"

"Yes!" Everyone responded one after another, and each started to make their own preparations.
