The Death List Novel - Chapter 519
Chapter 519 After The War
The nuclear explosion turned this place into a huge funnel-shaped pit. Judging from where Qin Lun was, they were right at the center of the pit. Only a few hundred meters away could they see a smooth ramp up.
Because Leo’s goal was to kill a specific target, the bomb deliberately strengthened the shock wave and weakened the radiation intensity. Qin Lun and the others were lucky to survive.
Leo gave Captain America and Little Red Riding Hood a few seconds to get out of danger when he activated the bomb. If Qin Lun and the others hadn’t been able to dodge dozens of meters of quicksand in these few seconds, they would have definitely died if they had resisted on the ground.
However, this nuclear bomb was too powerful. Captain America and Little Red Riding Hood should still be within range of explosion. Whether or not they could escape depended on the defensive capabilities of the S-men.
Qin Lun searched through his memories, but he still found nothing. He didn’t find anything in the desert-like explosion zone.
“What a fool!” Qin Lun suddenly knocked his head unconscious. A blue-green Yin-Yang fish pattern appeared in his left eye, and he began to use Gannettes’ left eye to see through the black sand.
After a few glances, a trace of joy appeared in Qin Lun’s eyes. He endured the pain all over his body and removed a soft black ash. He took out a long, thin iron nail that was stained with rust.
“Elena Sacred Nail!” Qin Lun couldn’t help but smile. With it, he and Grant wouldn’t have suffered in vain.
‘”There’s something else” Qin Lun’s heart grew more and more eager, but there was also a trace of vigilance.
After so many years, the Holy Artifact of Christ has not decayed. It can be seen that the energy of the Laws contained in it will not be destroyed by a nuclear explosion. However, since Qin Lun and Grant were able to survive, Lancelot might not have died by relying on the power of the sacred object.
Right now, Qin Lun was heavily injured, and his entire body was covered in internal injuries. He didn’t know how many bones he had broken, but the pain caused his eyes to turn black with a single move. He had almost no ability to resist. Of course, he had to be more careful.
After looking through it again, Qin Lun finally noticed the abnormality at the bottom of the pit. He leaned over carefully and slowly used his hand to clean up the dust on the surface.
“This is … Alcatel’s Curse Seal?!” Seeing the crystallized earth beneath the sand, Qin Lun’s heart couldn’t help but tremble.
There was a blood-colored pentagram carved on it, exactly the same as the one that appeared when Qin Lun fought Alcatel for the first time. However, the blood color of this pattern was almost invisible, only a faint circle of traces could be seen.
Qin Lun took out the Evil Dagger and viciously scratched the curse seal. He even scratched off a layer of stone fragments, but found that it was useless. This curse seal was like a mirage. It was basically an image, and its body seemed to be in another spatial dimension.
“You’re lucky!” Qin Lun sighed regretfully. Alcatel was truly lucky. He had schemed twice, and both of them were able to escape a calamity.
‘”If Alcatel is in this position, then what about the other guy” Qin Lun’s eyes twitched as he checked the surroundings one inch at a time. Finally, he found another anomaly three meters away from the curse mark.
This abnormality was two meters below the crystallized ground. Originally, it was dark and identical to the surroundings. However, when the Eye of the Clock detected it, he finally felt a trace of life fluctuation.
“Good hiding!” Qin Lun grinned and flipped his left hand. Ayala’s weapon case fell out of his storage space with a “bang”. He pulled out the Wind Chasing Frost from the weapon box with one hand and plunged it into the ground to dig hard, directly using the legendary weapon as an engineering shovel.
After digging, Qin Lun’s bones creaked and his head was covered in cold sweat from the pain. His face was as pale as a dead man’s, and a tall green dumpling was exposed to the ground.
If it weren’t for the dark green thorns wrapping around it, it would be almost the same as an Egyptian mummy.
Qin Lun thought for a moment and without hesitation stabbed the Evil Dagger into the biggest thorn vine, but he still carefully avoided the vital parts of the mummy.
As the Evil Dagger pierced through, the mummy’s thorn vine trembled slightly. It twitched like a dead fish, then it loosened, revealing the’corpse ‘inside.
“Your luck is not bad either!” Qin Lun glanced at the “corpse”. Although he had already anticipated it, he couldn’t help but laugh bitterly. The Thorned Vine was not protecting Lancelot, but Lily, who was dressed as a nun. The knight of the round table was actually a thorn vine wrapped around it.
Qin Lun poured a bottle of recovery medicine into the unconscious Lily, then groped around her body and took out a tube of blood-colored liquid in the form of an injection.
The syringe was originally hidden inside Intergula’s head, but Lily took it out. The blood-colored liquid inside was called the Demon’s Blood, and it was taken from Abyss Devils’s blood pool.
For some Apostle, this was actually a special healing drug, just like holy water. Of course, with Qin Lun’s current bloodline, holy water was a kind of poison, and demon blood was the nutrient. On the other hand, to Lancelot, who was using the sacred object of Christ, the blood of the Abyss Devils was definitely a poison among poisons.
Qin Lun and Grant handed the tube of demonic blood to Lily, hoping that she would give it to Lancelot. As a result, Leo’s big move was unexpectedly powerful, causing Lily to not be able to make a move at all.
Fortunately, Lily didn’t make a move, so she avoided the calamity under Lancelot’s protection. As for the Knights of the Round Table, they were now like Grant the Clown, but they had fallen into a deep slumber and hadn’t completely died yet.
Qin Lun tested Lily’s pulse and felt that her life wasn’t in danger, so he refocused his attention on the paralyzed thorn vine. After thinking for a while, he held the Evil Dagger and thrust it into the thorn vine.
Every time the Evil Dagger pierced into the Thorned Vine, it would cause the Thorned Vine to twitch and emit some dark green juice. It looked extremely disgusting. Finally, after the last stab, Qin Lun felt his hand sink. A thin spirit body was pulled out of the thorn vine along with the evil dagger.
After leaving the Thorned Vine, his spiritual body revealed a human face. He looked about seventy to eighty percent like Lancelot, but he looked a little older. At this moment, it angrily opened its pale eyes without pupils. Its face was sinister and twisted as it opened its mouth wide towards Qin Lun and roared silently.
However, Lancelot’s final struggle did not last and was instantly sucked clean by the Evil Dagger. After devouring the Knight of the Round Table, the black luster on the surface of the Evil Dagger became even more solemn and agile, giving people the illusion that it was a living creature.
Without Lancelot’s spiritual body, the Thorned Vine withered at a visible rate and quickly condensed into a Magic Cube made of dark green Thorned Vines. However, the patterns on the surface of the Magic Cube were somewhat unique. On all six sides, there was an engraved pattern of a thorn crown, floating quietly in the air.
Qin Lun soundlessly grinned. He picked up the Thorned Crown Magic Cube and threw it into his storage space. He picked up Lily with one hand and hugged Monica’s leather trench coat with the other. He staggered off into the distance.
…
“How are they?” Qin Lun looked at the two amniotic tanks in front of him and asked.
At this moment, Qin Lun’s image was rather awkward. His upper body was wrapped in white bandages, and he had an arm hanging in front of his chest. According to the medical feedback from the USS Qi Bolin, when he returned to the ship, all his ribs showed signs of breaking. The only difference was whether it was serious or not.
In addition, bleeding is still slowly seeping through the organs, bone fractures in the right hand and left leg. What was most shocking was that a piece of unknown debris had been pinned into the back of his head. He could even see brain fluid at the wound. To be able to survive was simply a miracle.
Qin Lun knew that if it wasn’t for the Law Body, he would have fallen into a deep slumber like Lancelot, Alcatel and the others, even if he hadn’t died.
“Captain Klug’s condition is very strange. I thought he would need a long time to recover, but it’s only been half a day since dawn and he has already repaired his body.” Dr. Shahr checked the data on the amniotic fluid tank and shook his head hesitantly.
“I’ve never seen such a situation. You guys are much stronger than the Y2K bug’s superhuman. I can’t make an accurate judgment based on my past experience. However, judging from the data, his body has almost recovered. He should wake up soon.”
Dr Shahr smacked his tongue as he looked at the supplementary data from the amniotic fluid tank, the medical amniotic fluid tank on board the battleship was rich in a variety of minerals and nutrients. From the moment Grant entered the amniotic fluid tank, the rate of consumption of these nutrient fluids was astonishing.
In terms of average human data, Grant consumed more than half a day’s worth of nutrients to form more than 20 complete humans.
“What about her?” Qin Lun pointed at Lily in the amniotic fluid tank with his intact left hand.
“She did not have much external injuries, but the situation is more troublesome than Captain Klug. There was a severe concussion in the brain, and the brain on the X-ray film was almost like a ball of paste. “For ordinary people, even if she survives, she will become a vegetative. However, she seems to be a superhuman who can recover from her injuries. Her brain is currently slowly recovering. I’m afraid it will take another day or two.”
Dr. Shahr shrugged his shoulders and hesitated for a moment before he said, “However, we found out from the information that she is a nun attached to the Holy See’s Law Palace. Are you sure that there is nothing wrong with her?”
“No problem. She also contributed a lot to our killing of Lancelot this time.” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up and he smiled. “Besides, you might not know that she was actually one of our former companions. She also participated in the Battle of Casablanca.”
“Oh?” Dr. Shahr looked at Qin Lun in surprise, but the young man smiled and didn’t explain.
Sometimes it’s better not to explain than to explain. In the Battle of London, Major Montana had displayed an extremely high level of strategic accomplishment, and even Qin Lun admired the Yang scheme he had planned. However, this plan still had traces to follow, but the storm that Qin Lun set off was basically unpredictable and unexplainable.
He couldn’t tell Montana and the others that they were all Apostle, and that there were also Apostle and Samsara amongst the enemies. It was normal for them to fight and betray each other.
With Major Montana’s shrewdness, the more explanations Qin Lun gave, the more flaws he might have, so he simply didn’t explain. In any case, that fat man loved to associate with others, so he would probably regard Apostle as an expert that Qin Lun had recruited over the past few decades.
Not to mention Lily, Montana had read the report on the Battle of Casablanca, and she should be linked to the female nurse very soon. Back then, Lily had already done what people did in Cao Ying Xin Zai Han, so she could naturally understand it this way now.
“Cough cough, and … what about Mrs. Monica?” Qin Lun coughed twice and asked with some embarrassment.
“Mrs. Monica has awakened. However, she has lost too much of her origin energy. She will probably need to rest for a long time to get rid of her weakness.” Dr. Shahr suppressed his laughter. Ever since the couple met, they had been ambiguous. It was just that Qin Lun was a bit prudent and had been teased countless times in private, but he was still at a loss for words.
“Oh right, can’t you persuade her to enter the amniotic fluid tank? In that case, her body will recover much faster!”
“Monica will never agree to enter the amniotic fluid tank!” Qin Lun sighed. Back then, the Alliance Army had confined him to an amniotic fluid tank, leaving a deep shadow in the heart of the Sandstorm Queen. Even now, she still had hydrophobia.
“Have we calculated our losses? Is Major Montana out of danger?” After a moment of silence, Qin Lun started the conversation again.
“The major is fine, but the replacement parts on the warship are not enough. He needs to return to the base before he can recover. He is in his room now and is losing his temper!” Dr. Shahr smiled. They all knew that major montana was a mechanical body, and they discussed it without hesitation.
“As for the losses, everyone in the Millennium Bug is prepared to sacrifice. Compared to the Allied supra-human casualties, we can be said to have won the Battle of London at the smallest price.” Dr. Shahr said excitedly, “Now that the Allies have been torn apart by the Battle of London and are no longer united as they were before the war, our chances of reviving the empire are greater.”
Qin Lun smiled and nodded, quietly listening to Shahr’s detailed report on the aftermath of the war.
The biggest loss of the millennium bug occurred in the later stages of this battle. The Montana Major’s personal visit to the battlefield caused a huge loss of the millennium bug. The year 2000 bug commandos and reinforcements led by captain hans were annihilated, and the top superhumans lost three men: lieutenant solin, warrant lieutenant luke, and walter the god of death.
Luke had nothing to say. The other two had actually died barehandedly, so it could be considered bad luck. Apart from illusions, Lieutenant Sorin’s other combat abilities weren’t outstanding. When he encountered Apostle, who was part of the entire team, he had almost no ability to resist. As for “Reaper” Walter, tonight’s fate had long been decided.
The old butler had undergone a temporary transformation by Dr. Shahr, and his body had recovered to its peak youth. However, due to the time constraints, this transformation had a great flaw, and his body would collapse in just two hours.
After abandoning his lord and loyal “god of death”, he still failed to fulfill his desire to fight Alcatel and was killed by Apostle when his body was about to collapse.
However, Reaper’s offensive power was worthy of its name. Before his body collapsed, he had actually killed two people under the siege of seven Apostle. In this world, the storyline characters had fallen after killing Apostle. Who knew who had picked up the Magic Cube of these two unlucky people?
Another lieutenant worth mentioning was Uncle Li. This beautiful lieutenant was originally a chess piece that Qin Lun had planted for him. However, during the battle, before Lieutenant Li Bo had time to support her, her location was discovered by two Apostle who were wandering around.
Fortunately, the beautiful lieutenant’s “magic bullet” was very powerful. With the support of the helicopter that rushed over, even though she was seriously injured, she killed one Apostle and repelled another.
The Avengers and Hunters on the other side didn’t get much benefit from the position of Major Montana. The thumbnail girl in the fairy tale girl group, Xena, died in the hands of the messenger. Snow White, Elaine, escaped with serious injuries.
Natasha, the black widow of the Avenger, was killed by Apostle after seeing through her disguise. Iron Man ran out of energy and her whereabouts were unknown after she fell into the sea. The only avenger who escaped unharmed was the Hulk Bruce Banner. This fellow’s skin was thicker and thicker than the white giant Leo’s. Elementary Apostle was powerless against him.
As for Captain America and Little Red Riding Hood Liv on the other battlefield, they had yet to receive accurate information. However, Qin Lun felt that the two of them should not have died. After all, the White Giant had thrown them out of the center of the explosion. With the protection of the S-Battle Police and the Super Alloy Shield, their chances of survival were very high.
The battle lasted an entire night from the beginning to the end. As for the aftermath of the war, it continued to develop. During the day when Qin Lun returned to the warship, the major powers of the world had issued statements about the expected battle.
The Vatican won a huge war, but in one way or another they were total losers, mostly because of Apostle.
During the war, Apostle was only part of the way to where the Montana major was, and half of Apostle was intercepting the Vatican’s priest squad. However, after killing a portion of the priests, Apostle discovered that these priests were only reinforcements and did not receive much in return.
As dawn approached, the Crusaders were organizing their withdrawal, and the blockade of London had fallen sharply. Thus, after some discussion, these Apostle actually dared to try to rescue the captured British royal family. The weaknesses of the Holy See’s Crusaders, who lacked real combat power and the organization of their regular army, were exposed. These Apostle had actually succeeded.
Their bold assault broke through the scarabs’ flying ship, killed Archbishop Maxwell, who led the campaign in France, and protected the British royal family and key government officials into the mountains of Scotland.
After dawn, the lucky British royal family immediately issued a statement saying that Britain would fight to the end with the Catholic Court and call on all British people to rebuild their homes.
The Vatican’s overall strategy is now completely bankrupt, with little to no other than turning half of London into ruins and killing millions of British civilians.
More importantly, after this battle, the Vatican’s transcendent influence in the outside world vanished. In the future, there would probably not be so many reinforcements who would join the Vatican. Even the Crusaders inside had their beliefs shaken.
In addition to these ostensible political writings, the war’s biggest influence continues to ferment. After this battle. Governments around the world seem to have pierced through a layer of window paper, suddenly realizing that the low-key approach to strengthening humans was not the right one.
The future divine melody world will undoubtedly enter an era of evolution, and they should send a positive signal to unite their own reinforcements and superhumans.
Under this general trend, all countries in the world, for their own purposes, also issued statements condemning the Vatican Holy See for rashly waging war. They abandoned the political compromise that they had originally endured and began to try their best to rope in all the reinforcements and superhumans within their borders.
In this way, the three Nazi organizations received the greatest war dividends. Their initial attack on London was concealed, and the Holy See took the blame. And because of the cracks in several of the main superhuman organizations of the Alliance Army, their living environment has greatly improved.
The millennium bug, hydra, vampire brigade, and the long-lurking Nazi organisations can finally openly start fighting for control of the German government. As long as they give up on terrorist attacks, governments around the world will have to admit that the forces of the Third Reich have once again stepped onto the stage of history.
