Chapter 978 Chapter 979 The sky is falling
"Ah..." A cry broke out from the crowd, and the civilians crowded towards the city gate in fear: "Let us out! Let us out!"
Everyone kept shouting, for fear that something would happen if they left too late. The soldiers holding the city gate no longer cared about order. They opened the city gate and ran out of the city first.
Everyone was rushing out of the city. Cars were jammed in the crowd, mixed with horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts. The scene was very lively for a while.
As these people crowded and fled out of the city, the ground shook again. Everyone was frightened and stopped for a moment. Then another ball of white smoke rolled up and a huge explosion followed. Come.
At this time, the crowded crowd became even more excited. No one cared about courtesy and order. Everyone kept rushing towards the city gate. The city gate guards had long since disappeared.
The wall of the Chu Family Courtyard in the Prime Minister's Mansion collapsed... This place was not far from the imperial city. The Tang Empire's missile did not deviate from the target. It hit the imperial palace, so the Chu Family on the periphery was also affected. arrive.
The thunder-like explosion just now still makes Chu Muzhou's sons unable to hear the sounds around them. They have no idea what happened. They just fell to the ground in an instant, with Liushenwuzhu looking at a loss.
The cloud bomb is called the mother of bombs, and its power is evident. In fact, this kind of bomb explodes twice, but because the second blast is really deafening, people tend to ignore the dull blast in front of it. The explosion.
During the secondary explosion, the entire bomb can evaporate all the surrounding air, forming a 2,500-degree high-temperature area, destroying everything nearby.
The power of this thing is second only to nuclear weapons, and may not even be much worse than a small nuclear bomb. The huge explosion is so destructive that even enemies in underground bunkers are not immune.
The first Dongfeng missile that fell from a high altitude landed directly in the palace. Although it was far away from the main hall where Zhao Kai was, it did fall in the palace.
The glass in a radius of ten miles may have been shattered, and the huge explosion echoed over the entire city. The terrifying shock wave destroyed many nearby buildings and even caused many places to burst into flames in an instant.
What is embarrassing is that the Great China Empire is a big country with ancient traditions and a very deep historical background. The main body of the palace was built hundreds of years ago. Although it has been continuously repaired for such a long time, the main design structure is already from a hundred years ago.
Such a building is basically pretty good in terms of earthquake resistance, but lacks the ability to withstand man-made damage.
To put it bluntly, the earthquake resistance of the imperial palace of the Great China Empire is actually pretty good, but in the face of man-made arson and blasting, it is basically no different from running naked.
A cloud bomb exploded hundreds of meters away, and it was loaded with a warhead of nearly 2 tons. The destructive power was not something that these old buildings could compete with.
So the palace where Zhao Kai was located collapsed in the explosion. Zhao Kai was still answering the phone in the study room when the roof suddenly collapsed.
Smoke and dust swallowed up everything in the house at once, and Zhao Kai was immediately hit by falling tiles and fell into a pool of blood.
The surrounding guards and servants and maids did not react. Only after they broke free from the smoke and dust in the sky did they realize that the emperor they were guarding was missing.
In panic, everyone started to search, and then saw the frightening scene of the emperor and his attendants struggling among the ruins.
At this moment, Zhao Kai's hearing had not even recovered. He was panicking, shouting hysterically, waving his arms in the rubble, and keeping strangers away like a madman.
Those who tried to get close to him would eat his fists, and at this time, his head was still bleeding. His dignified dragon robe was covered in dust, and his disheveled hair had long lost the majesty of the former emperor.
"Ah! Ah! There's a rebellion! Someone wants to kill me! Kill me! Assassin the King Shajia! Rebellion! Rebellion! They're all rebelling!" Zhao Kai was so frightened that he went completely crazy. His leg bones were broken and he could only Sitting on the ground, he still kept waving his arms. No matter how much people around him tried to persuade him, he was unwilling to let anyone get close to him.
Shame and anger, nervousness, fear, anger... countless emotions were intertwined and entangled, causing Zhao Kai to completely collapse at this moment.
Tears slid down his cheeks, licking away the dust on them, leaving two ravines. Without the majesty and momentum of the past, Zhao Kai, who fell from the clouds to the mortal world, felt what it meant to live worse than death.
He should hate the ancient palace of the Dahua Empire. A distant cloud bomb destroyed the side hall, leaving him in such a humiliating state.
He should also be grateful that he is in an ancient hall. The roof with only wooden beams and tiles is not fatal even if it collapses, allowing him to still live in spite of his embarrassment.
Because he was too nervous, Zhao Kai was still holding the receiver of the phone in one hand. Although the cord had fallen off, he was still holding on to the receiver, as if he was holding some heaven-defying weapon.
It seemed that this was the only way to keep him a little bit safe, and the guards and palace people who kept gathering in the smoke finally allowed Zhao Kai to regain a little bit of his consciousness. This is how people are. As soon as the madness of nervousness and fear passes, other feelings will suddenly emerge and occupy the freed brain space.
The smoke inhaled into the lungs tortured Zhao Kai. The spasm of nerves suddenly caused Zhao Kai to start vomiting. He kept twitching face down and vomited out all the pasta and sweets he had eaten in the morning.
Even because of excessive force, something rushed into his nasal cavity. For a while, the filth with the smell of stomach acid covered the front of Zhao Kai's favorite dragon robe and fell on his legs.
The pain came and his leg was really broken. He didn't feel anything when he was crazy before, but now his consciousness has somewhat recovered, and the overwhelming pain immediately made his whole body tremble.
As an emperor, Zhao Kai had never experienced such a feeling since he was a child. He didn't know how to face such a state for a while, and he became sluggish while vomiting.
Finally, a loyal guard rushed forward and supported Zhao Kai: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I deserve to die for my crime! I came late to protect you and deserve to die for my crime!"
Zhao Kai saw clearly the faces of the people around him, the ruins around him, and the scattered original furnishings in the house, and finally threw away the broken telephone receiver he was just holding in his hand.
He recalled the moment when the explosion sounded, and he recalled the moment when his roof collapsed. Before that, he received a call from Li Mingshun. Li Mingshun on the other end of the phone was persuading him to hide in an underground bunker.
At this time, he could finally feel the trembling on his arms. It was the constant trembling of muscles, a nervous trembling that could not be calmed down by his subjective will.
The guard who was supporting him could naturally feel that Zhao Kai was trembling. Only now did he realize that Zhao Kai was also afraid. It turned out that Zhao Kai, like ordinary people, would be frightened and trembled by certain things.
The statue of the **** that was disguised with ruthlessness, change, and other means collapsed and shattered, leaving only an ordinary old man sitting on the ground miserably, with a gray head and a miserable face.
"Help me, help me up...get up." Zhao Kai's voice was trembling. The blood and tears on his face, as well as the filth at the corners of his mouth, made him look like an old madman.
"Your Majesty! Your leg is broken! It's better to wait for the doctor to come..." The guard did not dislike Zhao Kai. He was deeply trusted by Zhao Kai and was Zhao Kai's personal attendant in the true sense. At this moment, he really showed his true feelings. , not much worse than his son.
“Help me up!” Zhao Kai roared, hysterically.
The guard did not dare to neglect, and immediately grabbed Zhao Kai's hand and pulled him up from the ground. Zhao Kai is also a ruthless person, and he actually endured the pain and stood up on one leg.
The surrounding waiters and maids had begun to sob. They really did not expect that such a tragic scene would one day appear in the palace where they were.
In fact, they don’t know that the two areas at the center of the explosion have now become a **** on earth.
There are thousands of maids and thousands of bodyguards in the imperial palace of the Dahua Empire, which can really be described as extravagant and extravagant.
Now, hundreds of people in the explosion area received boxed lunches directly, and there are also hundreds of injured people left who did not even have time to receive treatment. Many palaces have collapsed, and many people buried underneath are still alive, but they won't be able to tell for sure after a while.
The beauties in the harem were frightened out of their wits. The previous palaces and pavilions were also damaged, and large parts of the palace walls that protected the safety of the palace have now collapsed.
"Ugh..." When some waiters saw Zhao Kai's miserable appearance, they began to cry uncontrollably. They didn't care so much. After the disaster, they suddenly lost control of their emotions. The sound really made the listeners sad and the listeners weeping. .
"I'm not dead yet! Why are you howling?" Zhao Kai roared irritably, but his voice was instantly drowned in the smoke.
"Fire-fighting! There's a fire in the west hall!" You could vaguely hear the guards yelling in panic, and you could also hear some soldiers asking each other for passwords.
By this time, many of Zhao Kai's personal attendants had arrived, and some maids who had been sent by the harem concubines to inquire about the situation and confirm the emperor's safety were inquiring around the area.
Chaos spreads in the palace. This is the most terrifying thing: if someone sneaks into the palace at this time, no one may be able to discover it.
Even at this time, Zhao Kai's contact with the outside world has been severed. As long as there is a general who really leads the troops to cause rebellion, the success rate will definitely be high.
For a moment, Zhao Kai regretted it a little. He regretted the decision he had made before, regretting that he had nothing to do to provoke the Sect Star of the Tang Empire...
