Chapter 274: Earthshaking (Part 3)

What he was thinking about was not whether he could go back or not.

It was about how to escape.

After all… with a guilty conscience, he was scared.

The embassy couldn’t possibly find and forcibly bring back each individual; they could only notify them.

Only the students were arranged to be picked up by a bus.

The rest was up to whether or not you trusted the country.

As plane after plane took off, the number of Chinese dwindled.

As for those who didn’t answer their phones and instead started playing hide-and-seek, they really had no other choice.

In the blink of an eye, a whole day had passed.

The news of the asteroid’s impact had already spread among the wealthy.

All the rich in Nevada had evacuated with their families.

As for the middle class, many had also received the news and were frantically running away.

Finally, 18 hours before the asteroid impact, America made the news public.

Why announce it at this time?

Because the wealthy had already safely evacuated, and a portion of the middle class had also left, the rest didn’t matter anymore.

After America announced the news, she also revealed the interception plan, which involved using mushroom bombs.

This asteroid was not sturdy.

As long as it was blown up, there wouldn’t be much left to burn when it passed through the atmosphere.

America’s claim was bold, but no one seemed convinced, because those who did were all dead.

This led to the people in Nevada frantically running out, completely blocking the road traffic.

Then, conflicts began, and then…

That night, flames soared into the sky in Nevada.

From a satellite’s view, one could see lines spreading on the roads across Nevada.

There were fiery clashes on the roads; everyone was enraged, and the cars were ablaze too.

But these things…

No one cared.

Time slowly passed.

At NASA’s command and control center, everyone was staring at the big screen.

There was just one hour left before the asteroid impact.

The ground-based space telescope could already see the asteroid.

The missiles were also ready.

But the missile calculations were still not finalized.

There was no choice.

The asteroid’s movements were too erratic.

It changed directions unpredictably.

But no matter how difficult, they had to calculate and at least provide a reasonable range for detonation.

Otherwise, detonating a mushroom bomb in space wouldn’t be very powerful. Relying solely on thermal radiation would be useless.

45 minutes to impact.

America launched the missiles, firing five at once, three of which were nuclear bombs, and two being high-explosive warheads.

“Brother Yang, all of you board the spacecraft now,” Tang Rui, at home watching the holographic projection screen, also ordered Gao Yang.

“Understood.” After Gao Yang got the order.

He immediately boarded the spacecraft with three others.

As for the original farm owner, he had already evacuated.

After boarding the spacecraft, Red Lotus took off, stealthily flying towards Area 51, but not at a high speed.

At NASA’s command center, everyone watched the missile’s trajectory.

In Crimson’s laboratory, Tang Rui stared at the holographic projection screen, calculating the final moments.

On the big screen at NASA’s command center.

The countdown to the missile impact was displayed: 10…9…8…7…

Tang Rui watched the acceleration countdown calculated by Red Lotus: 3…2…I…

Accelerate!

Under Red Lotus’s control, the spacecraft’s nuclear rocket ignited, ejecting a powerful particle stream.

In an instant, the spacecraft broke the sound barrier and flew over Area 51 at an extremely high speed.

The moment the spacecraft arrived above Area 51, the countdown to the missile strike hit zero.

“Detonate!”

NASA pressed the detonation button.

After all, at this point, whether they could hit it or not, they had to detonate it, otherwise, it would be useless.

However, from Tang Rui’s perspective… The moment the spacecraft accelerated, the asteroid suddenly made a drastic change in direction, veering to the side, which allowed it to dodge the missile.

In the next second, endless light appeared in outer space.

But under this blinding light, there was a small black dot, which was the asteroid.

Boom!

The asteroid plunged into the atmosphere, losing its ability to change direction.

At the same time, its entire body began to shatter into countless fragments.

The core of the wreckage was a 12-meter-long iron core.

This core erupted a blinding light in the air and then smashed right above Area 51.

Boom!

The earth shook and the heavens trembled!
