In a flash, before Xia Qingtian could use her abilities, the sound of hurried footsteps approached from afar.
"Hahaha, my people have arrived," Xiang Xueyuan grinned. "Now you have no choice but to wait here and die."
Xia Qingtian frowned upon hearing this. Her adrenaline boost could only be used once, and it wouldn't save this many people.
Damn it, I should have blackmailed the dog system for another Supreme Valkyrie card earlier.
"Hey, hey, hey! I can hear you!" the system said speechlessly. "Do you think I'm dead?"
Xia Qingtian immediately replied in her mind, "Then give me the Valkyrie card!"
"You think I'm dead." The system immediately backed down.
Xia Qingtian secretly rolled her eyes. This dog system was unreliable. She'd just have to take it one step at a time.
Fortunately, Xiang Xueyuan seemed to be in a very good mood. Seeing his people surge in, he sneered in Xia Qingtian's direction.
He wanted to see what else this Xia Qingtian could do.
Meeting Xiang Xueyuan's gaze, Xia Qingtian could only roll her eyes again in her mind.
"Master, the detonation devices have been placed around the island, and the third fleet responsible for the reception is ready," someone immediately reported to Xiang Xueyuan. "All preparations are complete, awaiting your further instructions."
"Detonation devices?" Everyone was stunned. This madman was going to blow up the island!
"There are still many people on this island!" Xia Qingtian immediately said. "We can't blow up the island!"
If it came to blowing up the island, even with the Valkyrie card, it would be useless!
This was an entire island!
"No way, all this gold and treasure is going to be blown up?" Bai Yuqi, who had been cowering, whispered incredulously. "My love, this person is even more heartless than you..."
Lu Yaoyang merely shot Bai Yuqi a glance and didn't reply. His gaze fell on the stone behind Xiang Xueyuan.
This stone must not be taken away by Xiang Xueyuan. This was the last chance; they absolutely could not let Xiang Xueyuan mess around.
With this thought, Lu Yaoyang scanned his surroundings and quickly found something.
"Cover me," Lu Yaoyang said in a low voice.
"How can I cover you!" Bai Yuqi was startled. Before he could react, Lu Yaoyang was already bending over and walking to the other side.
Bai Yuqi dared not shout loudly, so he could only silently pick up a golden Buddha statue. To his surprise, it was much lighter than he expected. Without time to think, Bai Yuqi could only use it to shield his face and start moving horizontally.
The strangely moving golden Buddha statue couldn't help but attract Xiang Xueyuan's attention. He shifted his gun towards Bai Yuqi and was about to shoot, but at this moment, Xia Qingyu seized Xiang Xueyuan's wrist, using her elbow to flick upwards. Xiang Xueyuan let out a cry of pain, and the gun in his hand dropped to the ground.
Nie Qingkong immediately picked up the gun and pointed it angrily at Xiang Xueyuan.
"Kill me, and everyone will die," Xiang Xueyuan said with a cold smile, looking at Nie Qingkong. "Not only will you be buried with me, but the entire world will be buried with me."
"Aren't you being too arrogant, just you?" Bai Yuqi saw that the tide had turned and immediately moved the golden Buddha statue away from his face, sneering. "What? Is it the end of the world if you die?"
"Want to bet with me? Let's play a game?" Xiang Xueyuan smiled.
His smile was so natural that it made Bai Yuqi hesitate.
"Tarik, you must know things they don't," Xiang Xueyuan said with a smile, looking at Nie Qingkong.
Nie Qingkong pursed his lips, his gaze intense.
"What's going on? I'm so confused!" Bai Yuqi said. "What are you all hiding? Can't you just explain it all at once!"
"His underground research facility in Northern Europe wasn't just for energy research," Tarik, who had been groomed as a young master, knew more about that facility than anyone. "There was also a massive nuclear bomb detonation device."
"Nuclear? Nuclear bombs?" Everyone was stunned. What was this thing?
What was going on with this madman!
Xia Qingtian's mouth twitched. This was terrible; she had just thought of it casually, and it had actually come true.
Was this madman really playing this big of a game?
"And he has two of them," Tarik dropped one heavy piece of news after another.
"You... are you talking about the kind that... explodes with immense energy in a millionth of a second, heating the center to hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius, and could destroy all humanity with just a hundred of them... nuclear bombs? Not... not anything else..."
"Exactly what you're thinking," Tarik said, looking at Xia Qingyu. "Moreover, the controller for one of the nuclear bombs is linked to his cardiac pacemaker."
Only then did everyone shift their gaze to Xiang Xueyuan's chest, their faces full of astonishment. They had underestimated the extent of this man's madness.
"Living longer and experiencing more things isn't always a bad thing, right?" Xiang Xueyuan's lips curved into a slight smile.
Over the years, the experiments he had conducted on himself were not limited to these.
The locations of these two nuclear bombs were also carefully chosen by him. If they were detonated, even if they couldn't destroy the whole world, they could trigger floods and tsunamis, and the subsequent nuclear pollution could shroud half the earth.
"I am blowing up this island, I've decided. Since you're all so reluctant, why don't you stay and disappear along with this island?" Xiang Xueyuan walked out with a cold smile, not forgetting to command, "Take my energy away, and be careful."
If any problems occurred, they would disappear with this island.
Watching Xiang Xueyuan leave before their eyes, Xia Qingtian clenched her fists at her sides.
"Hey, hey, hey! Let go of my things! Did you hear me! Hey!" The system roared in Xia Qingtian's mind. "Qingtian! Look at them! They're raiding the base! No! They're stealing my home!"
"What's the use of you yelling at me? What can I do?" Xia Qingtian clenched her fists at her sides. "I told you to take that thing away earlier, and you didn't listen! Serves you right!"
"I... he... you..." The system was so angry it couldn't speak, only cursing inwardly that everyone was bullying it!
Xia Qingtian could only watch as the stone was carried away. At the top of the stone, a cluster of blue currents was anxiously jumping.
Xiang Xueyuan had now reached the violently damaged door. His face was filled with triumphant joy.
As long as he took the stone away from here, everything would be back in his control.
Just then, with a deafening roar that shook the earth, before anyone could react, a stone wall rose from the ground, pushing up and crushing the violently damaged heavy door.
It sealed the entire space tightly.
"This!" Xiang Xueyuan incredulously raised his hand and patted the sudden stone wall, then turned sharply to glare in Xia Qingtian's direction.
Xia Qingtian was equally shocked. What was going on? Was the system this powerful?
In the next second, the system's voice sounded in her mind, "What the hell! You scared me!"
Alright, this had nothing to do with the system.
And just then, Lu Yaoyang walked out from a corner. This stone must not be taken out, nor should it fall into Xiang Xueyuan's hands.
Since the system said it would take time, then let's waste time here.
What kind of world-ending nonsense was this, he had had enough.
