Shadow of the Beautiful World

The insane Decepticons detonated a large-yield nuclear bomb in the hollow world under the Arctic Ocean.

Falling, the ancient ark that has been hidden here for tens of thousands of years can theoretically withstand such an explosion, but the problem is that it has been shut down for a long time, and the location of the explosion is inside the ark.

It was, of course, blown up.

And the detonation of the nuclear bomb is just an introduction.

The destructive energy of that riot destroyed the Ark's power system, shattered the Ark's power furnace, and directly triggered a second round of even more terrifying explosions.

The explosive power of the advanced technology derived from the Cybertronians is much more terrifying than the nuclear bomb left by the Decepticons.

That terrifying energy exploded in the sea abyss, instantly evaporating nearly one-fifth of the seawater in the underground sea area.

The energy erupting in all directions cut the crust above the underground world, causing a major earthquake that ravaged the entire underground world.

But fortunately, this underground hollow layer is at least 3000 meters away from the ground...

A rock layer of this thickness will not be destroyed by a nuclear explosion and the subsequent terrorist explosion.

Therefore, what these two rounds of explosions destroyed was only the underground world here.

Except for the few robots who took refuge in advance, all life here is over...

And the ark itself, like a torn whale, the upper and lower halves were completely torn apart by the damage of the power furnace.

As you can see.

A few hours later, when the aftermath of the explosion subsided, Icarus took the two remote-controlled machines Smash and Star Howl, and searched for the remaining things in the unrecognizable underground world.

She knew that in the wasteland, Merlin was looking at the dead underground world from her perspective through the link of the soul.

As she walked on the wasteland covered with stones and scorched soil, and the nuclear radiation concentration exploded, she said to Merlin like a tour guide:

The whole ark was blown to pieces.

A third was reduced to fragments, the upper half was blasted onto a completely reshaped subterranean landmass, and the lower half... disappeared.

The glasses girl kicked the twisted metal piece inserted into the mud. She pointed to the almost dry seabed in front of her eyes, which was full of mud and mechanical debris, and was completely exposed.

she says:

This underground abyss is connected to the outside sea.

Under the impact of the terrifying vortex caused by the two explosions, the lower half of the broken ark was drawn into the terrifying undercurrent, and was pushed to disappear into this underground abyss.

The glasses girl curled her lips, pushed the half-melted black-rimmed glasses on her face, and said:

It may appear anywhere in the ocean of the world in a few months...

Another unsolved mystery.

Merlin's voice sounded in the glasses girl's mind, and he jokingly said:

Maybe I should go over to Bermuda.

It's not a joke, Merlin.

Icarus scratched her long blue hair a little annoyed, and said sullenly:

According to Optimus Prime's previous conversation with Jazz, apart from the leadership module that was brought back to the wasteland, there was a mysterious scepter in the ark, but now it has disappeared along with the rest of the ark's wreckage.

If it hadn't been destroyed by the explosion...

Merlin says:

Then it will always appear again. What we need to do is to wait patiently. Well, I will check the leadership module that was brought back first, and the search over there will be handed over to you.

Well, I'll look here again.

Icarus said suspiciously:

But do you really think Optimus Prime could have survived an explosion like that?

I think it's possible.

Merlin replied:

At least when my projection dissipated, I saw it and another big robot hiding in a cabin in the Ark's control room.

However, judging from the energy level of the aftermath of the explosion, they have a high chance of not surviving.

Search it again, maybe there will be surprises.

Merlin's voice faded away in the glasses girl's mind, Icarus curled her lips, and she directed Smash and Xingxiao to look around for the piled up metal trash.

She herself was a little lost and walked aimlessly in this completely flattened underground world.

Soon, in what was once an underground forest, Icarus saw some bones half buried in the soil.

That was the life that lived in this underground world before.

They may have undergone incredible evolution over tens of thousands of years, but unfortunately, no matter how powerful the flesh and blood were, it was difficult to survive in the face of the devastating explosion before.

The glasses girl squatted down.

She stretched out her hand and stroked the burned bones. She was silent for a moment, recalling the gentle brachiosaurus she had seen when she first came to this underground world.

There was a look of sadness in her blue eyes, and she whispered:

sorry...

We brought the disaster, you could have lived without any worries.

Flesh and blood...

Icarus closed his eyes, as if reciting scriptures, seeing off the innocent souls who had disappeared on this land.

After a few minutes, Tony Stark's voice rang through the communication.

Icarus, come on! We've found something.

Hold on.

Icarus responded.

After a few seconds, she stood up and flew in Tony's direction.

Behind her, on the scorched, hopeless land, two white bones crossed and inserted there.

It's like a grave.

Like a memorial tombstone.

Another world, dead in a stupid war.

———————————

For the current human civilization, nuclear weapons are the top means of warfare.

When those terrorist gadgets made to serve the war explode, they will be killed by strong impact, light radiation, high temperature, and long-term residual nuclear radiation after the explosion.

But nuclear radiation can be offset by cement concrete, not to mention, above the underground world, there is a crust from more than 3000 meters behind.

The nuclear bomb detonated by the Decepticons will not harm the world itself at all.

Just like the battle between steel and the earth, steel has almost never won from the moment it was born to now.

However, the radiation from nuclear bombs is not a problem, but another thing is deadly to this world.

The Shredded Ark Power Furnace was made according to Cybertronian technology.

The energy leakage inside it may not be a big problem for robots, but for flesh and blood life, it is very, very scary.

In the Arctic Ocean, tens of thousands of meters away from the destroyed underground world, a research ship that just returned from the North Pole is docking on the sea.

This is a scientific expedition team including biologists, geologists, physicists and astronomers. Their members come from various countries in the world, and they are a group of out-and-out high IQ scholars.

These scientists have just spent unforgettable months in the Arctic, and they can't wait to go home and enjoy life.

But before leaving this desolate and dead sea, they have one last job to do.

On the bridge of the research ship, Daisy, wearing a peaked cap, yawned, holding coffee in one hand and holding the other to her chest.

This action made Daisy's already plump breasts look even more magnificent.

Her eyes are full of dark circles from lack of sleep. For a student who just graduated from Columbia University in social and political science, she should not be on this research ship, regardless of her knowledge reserve or her industry.

But who made Daisy have a group of awesome buddies?

Renowned astronomer Jane Foster, who had risen to prominence in recent years, needed a research assistant before joining this Arctic expedition.

She originally wanted to find some interns in the school, but Daisy, who had just graduated, recommended herself.

As a result, Daisy got another chance to travel to the North Pole for free.

Now, this girl is staring at the sonar on the bridge, chatting with Jane Foster who dived into the sea in a one-man submarine.

Jane, you have now descended to 1,500 meters below sea level.

Daisy pushed her round glasses, and she said:

You can start collecting rocks on the seabed, but seriously, I don't understand why you, an astronomer looking at the stars, go into the sea floor to find rocks? Are you looking for fallen meteorites?

Were you dozing off when I was talking?

Jane's unclear voice came from the communicator.

At this time, she was driving the submarine specially made by Wayne Industries for this expedition, and was swimming in the seabed.

While looking for suitable rocks on the seabed by the lights of the submarine, she explained to Daisy, the assistant on board:

Thor has described to me the generation theory of the Rainbow Bridge. I am very interested in that theory, especially the energy operation principle of the Rainbow Bridge when it is generated.

The last time Thor returned to Asgard, he brought me back a book that recorded several places where Asgardians descended on Earth in ancient times.

Jane, who fell into a research frenzy, said a little chatteringly:

This is one of the recorded 'landing points'. If I am lucky enough, I will be able to detect some energy remnants from the stones on the sea floor when the Rainbow Bridge was formed thousands of years ago. for comparison with stones collected in Norway over the past month.

Can you understand? Daisy, this is a great discovery that can shock the physics world.

As soon as I publish my paper, those bastards who say 'physics is dead' will shut up and applaud me.

How are they supposed to cheer if they keep their mouths shut?

Daisy has no interest in these incomprehensible studies, she just wanted to take a North Pole trip.

While talking to Jane, she was joking with nasty jokes. The girl with a great figure and boldness lowered her voice, and she said:

I'm more interested in you than your research...Jane, do you still remember the night when the power went out at the research station half a month ago, the two of us slept together...without clothes, not even underwear...

Shut up! Daisy, don't mention that again!

Jane Foster, who was far away on the bottom of the sea, shouted shyly:

If we didn't do that that night, we'd freeze to death from hypothermia, and besides, girls have to take it off when they sleep... Wait, I found something.

Jane's voice became puzzled, and she said:

It seems to be a pile of steel. Is there any record of ships sinking here in the past few years?

how could I know.

Daisy drank her coffee, turned her head to look at the sonar instrument at hand, she complained:

Again, I don't have a database in my head, but I've heard some radical omnicists have started putting chips in their own brains, it's crazy...

Jane, according to the sonar, there is indeed an obstacle a few hundred meters ahead of your submarine.

Daisy says:

But I suggest you don't get too close to that thing. Do you remember that when Thor sent you away, he warned us that there are sea monsters in this sea!

It's okay, I'm carrying a magic amulet.

Jane didn't care.

Compared with the sea monster, she is obviously more interested in the weird metals in front of her that shouldn't appear in this sea area.

Under the sea of ​​1500 meters, Jane manipulated the one-man submarine, and slowly approached the twisted pile of steel that couldn't distinguish the original appearance.

With the help of the submarine's not-so-bright lights, she could see that those steel surfaces actually shone with strange fluorescence in the deep seabed.

Drip, drip, drip

Just as Jane's submarine approached within 200 meters of the seabed steel, the piercing sirens sounded simultaneously on the bridge of the submarine and the research ship.

The sudden siren startled Daisy, who was drinking coffee.

She looked at the dashboard, and in the next second, Daisy's scream of fear sounded through the communicator:

Come back quickly! Jane, the radiation there is as high as 500 sieverts! Hell, come back quickly! Jane, did you hear that?! Answer me! Jane, don't scare me!

There is no voice from Jane in the communicator.

There was only a loud noise caused by atomic radiation. Under Daisy's desperate gaze, the submarine that could have been operated remotely also lost its signal due to extremely high nuclear radiation.

Daisy stood up in horror, she instinctively rushed out of the bridge, onto the deck, and lay down on the side of the ship.

After five seconds of blank mind, Daisy grabbed the cell phone in her pocket and dialed a number with trembling fingers.

She put the phone to her ear and said in a trembling voice:

Hello? Justice League?

I...my friend needs help! This side of the Arctic Ocean, come and help!!!
