National Development: I built a base on the rock beast - Chapter 242
Chapter 242 One month later
This disaster, which seemed inevitable to everyone, indeed seemed to disappear quietly under everyone’s doubts.
No one knows how Duan Ming did it, just like no one knows why there is still no news from Duan Ming after a month has passed.
Over at Nico Star Port, the entire Star Port has returned to its original position in the sixth domain. It seems that everything is like a dream. People are still living the same life as before, except that the owner of Nico Star Port is no longer Admiral Nico, and turned into a flash of light.
Admiral Nico was imprisoned in the castle’s prison by Light Flash. At this time, he was completely crazy. He couldn’t say a word except giggling and sitting quietly in a daze every day.
After discussion, Hanbing and Guangshan went to the Fire Rock Beast at the Duan family headquarters. His arrival rekindled the hope of all members of the Duan family.
He told Tang Yaqing and other senior members exactly what Duan Ming had told him.
“Duan Ming is still alive in this world and will return safely one day!”
…
In an unknown area of the seventh domain, two figures, one large and one small, were floating in space.
If anyone saw the state of these two people at this time, they would be shocked, because they did not have any protective measures, but they still had vital signs.
These two people are Duan Ming, the head of the Duan family, and Guangshan’s nephew.
A month ago, Duan Ming came here with the metal barrel that could explode at any time. With Duan Ming’s character, he couldn’t just wait to die like that.
Instead of waiting for that devastating explosion, why not give it a try! Even if failure will lead to an early explosion, it is better than some damn destiny!
Duan Ming first tried to slowly compress the metal barrel, but no matter how hard he tried, the shape of the metal barrel did not change at all.
Duan Ming couldn’t help but murmured in confusion: “Is it possible that it’s not filled with other substances, but full of metals?”
Apart from this explanation, Duan Ming can’t think of any other possibility. With his current ability, there should be no metal that cannot be compressed by him.
Duan Ming flew to the side of the metal bucket, grabbed it with both hands, took a deep breath, and then tore it apart!
The expected explosion did not come, and the metal barrel was torn open by Duan Ming.
Looking inside along the cracks, just as Duan Ming guessed, it was a fusion of some unknown rare metals that had been compressed to the extreme.
A metal barrel that is a hundred meters high is also more than ten meters wide. To fill such a metal barrel, the amount of metal required is absolutely astronomical!
Where did Admiral Nico get so much metal?
Without enough time to think about this problem carefully, Duan Ming continued to tear open the metal bucket along the crack.
As the tearing gap became larger and larger, Duan Ming became more and more shocked, because the energy fluctuation flowing out from the inside of the metal barrel almost made Duan Ming feel suffocated.
One thing he can confirm is that if this thing explodes, its destructive power will probably exceed previous predictions!
“Help, help me…”
A boy’s voice reached Duan Ming’s ears, and he was also startled.
Shining’s nephew is still alive?
Following the source of the sound, Duan Ming continued to tear the metal barrel in that direction.
I don’t know how much time passed, but Duan Ming tore a crack several meters long in the metal barrel, and a delicate little hand appeared in front of Duan Ming’s eyes!
Five minutes later, when Duan Ming looked at the unconscious boy in his arms, he couldn’t help but frown slightly.
His vital signs are all normal, and he is much stronger than ordinary humans, a bit like… a superpower!
Judging from his appearance, this kid looks 60% like Admiral Nico and 40% like Shining. He must be Shining’s nephew.
It is indeed a good thing that the person was rescued and is still alive, but what should we do with the metal bucket?
Even though Duan Ming had forgotten the time when he was extremely nervous just now, he was sure that it had definitely exceeded twenty minutes.
Although this metal bucket has not exploded yet, who knows if it is “rusty” and will explode later?
Duan Ming would definitely not be able to let go if he left like this.
Putting the child aside, Duan Ming continued his tearing project. Perhaps it was because of his superpower. The deeper he went, the more terrifying the energy contained in it became.
Duan Ming even had a premonition that if it were torn inward even a little further, the energy would definitely leak out instantly, which would be an explosion in a general sense.
“Water, give me water…”
At this moment, the unconscious child woke up!
Duan Ming came to his side and looked at the young and slightly frightened face, Duan Ming asked.
“Do you know your name and why you are trapped in this metal barrel?”
There was a trace of confusion on the child’s face. After thinking for a long time, he spoke.
“My name is Nick. My father is the admiral of Nicostar Port. It was my father who let me in.”
From these words, Duan Ming could not hear the slightest trace of hatred, as if the child did not understand his previous situation, which was what humans call imprisonment.
“Then why did your dad let you in there?”
“Dad said that my uncle has superpowers, and Nick also wants to be a hero like his uncle, so my dad made me this toy. He said that as long as he can live here all the time, he can fly in the sky like his uncle! ”
Hearing what Nick said, Duan Ming’s frown deepened.
He roughly guessed the whole story. Admiral Niko indeed imprisoned his biological son in this metal barrel, but he seemed to have another purpose besides controlling the flash of light to serve him!
Duan Ming had never heard of “creating” superpowers in this way, but the world was full of wonders, and judging from Nick’s current physical condition, it was really successful.
“Brother, do you know where my dad is? I haven’t seen him for a long time!”
Facing an innocent and miserable child, Duan Ming couldn’t bear to tell him the truth.
“I’m your father’s friend. You go to sleep first and you can see him when you wake up.”
Nick was a very obedient child. He closed his eyes and fell asleep soon.
Returning to the metal bucket again, before Duan Ming could check it again, he secretly said bad!
The terrifying energy in this metal barrel is leaking out crazily. If this continues, it is estimated that…
Just when he thought of this, Duan Ming’s body was swallowed up by the huge energy. At the critical moment, Duan Ming only had time to protect Nick tightly under his body, and then lost consciousness.
Duan Ming, who thought he was certain to die, never expected that not only did he not die, but he was actually a blessing in disguise!
