Gene Unlocking: I Evolve Every Day

Chapter 389: Chapter 341: Shocking the World (Part 1)

The news first originated from a foreign news website.

This website is one of those relatively small ones that often fabricates so-called insider news.

However, this time the news seemed credible, claiming they had received shocking information.

That is, someone had dropped a nuclear bomb with a blast yield of several million tons on the Ancestors in Africa.

Moreover, the Ancestors withstood the nuclear bomb, unharmed.

The wording in the news was extremely exaggerated, such as the Ancestors being incredibly powerful, almost like a transcendent existence.

Then, several medium and small-sized media outlets, seeing the hype, forwarded it indiscriminately.

Everyone wants traffic, after all.

Does it matter whether the news is true or false for these media struggling to survive?

The answer is certainly no, as long as there is traffic.

As a result, within a short time, many medium and small-sized media around the world started reprinting and reporting this event.

A small tabloid in the United Kingdom: ”Multi-megaton Nuclear Bomb Explosion, Can Humanity Survive?”

A news website in Japan: ”Shocking the World: Ancestors Endure Multi-megaton Nuclear Bomb Explosion Unscathed!”

An Old Ugly news agency’s website: ”Can the True God Endure a Multi-megaton Nuclear Bomb Explosion? The Ancestors Did It!”

At this moment, the reports were mostly coming from smaller-scale media, mostly reprints rather than original reports.

Many netizens, seeing the ’caliber’ of the media reporting this news, all sneered, thinking it was yet another fabrication.

”Oh, come on!”

”Haha, stop making things up!”

”How many times have you websites uploaded fake news, and now again? A nuclear explosion of several million tons, do you know what that means? It means it could blow your mother to ashes dispersed in the wind!”

”Ha, who doesn’t know the power of the Ancestors? They can indeed withstand the bombardment of tank armor-piercing shells, surpassing the limits of carbon-based life forms, incredibly unbelievable. But no matter how you put it, he’s still a living person, how could he withstand a nuclear bomb? Especially one with a yield of several million tons? Why don’t you just say he waved his hand and flattened a continent?”

”These unscrupulous media, really will do anything for traffic.”

”If it’s the first time you’ve reported this kind of news, I might have believed it, but you’ve fabricated news one time after another, who would still dare to trust you? Earlier, I heard online that there was news of Ancestors heading to Niger, and they said they were engaged in intense battles with a large group of mercenaries. Oh, just because the Ancestors were showing great might over there in Niger, you wanted to ride on his fame, deliberately making up such news? Haha, I believe in the might of the Ancestors, but I don’t believe the fabricated news from you unscrupulous media!”

A lot of netizens are frantically laughing at those notorious media.

Of course, those media couldn’t possibly respond, but some netizens appeared to have gotten some information, defending those unscrupulous media over there.

”What they reported is true!”

”Yeah, this time they’re not spreading rumors!”

”I have a friend in Niger, he sent me a super scary explosion photo, hang on, I’ll upload it online right now.”

”I heard that major media around the world are preparing to report, just wait a little longer, and you’ll know if it’s true or not.”

Then a netizen uploaded a photo.

This photo seemed to be taken from a very distant place, but it was very clear, showing a massive mushroom cloud, and judging by the scope of the photo, the explosion range might be as large as ten to twenty kilometers.

At first, people were a bit skeptical, thinking it was a digitally synthesized photo online.

But then some experts scrutinized it carefully and found that there were indeed no signs of tampering.

Moreover, the scenes shown in the picture matched with those uploaded online by previous war correspondents.

In an instant, everyone was shocked to see this matter, initially thought to be fabricated by unscrupulous media, reach its peak!

”What?”

”Ah?”

”Is it real or fake?”

”Holy shit! I didn’t study much, don’t lie to me, okay?”

More and more people started paying attention, looking at the typical nuclear explosion pictures, their faces full of emotion.

Of course, not everyone believed this to be true, with quite a few remaining deeply skeptical.

After all, up to this point, the widely circulated photo on the internet did not show the Ancestors.

It was just an explosion scene; how could people fully believe it?

Until a short while later, several world-renowned major media began related reports.

For instance, Reuters, Ugly Union News, News Trading, and others.

At this moment, everyone finally knew...

This matter was freaking real!

The Ancestors really withstood the power of a multi-megaton nuclear bomb explosion!

The most frightening part was, the Ancestors didn’t just withstand a multi-megaton nuclear weapon explosion.

According to the news description, they also used some sort of magical ”energy shield” to protect the lives of about a hundred other people!

Originally everyone was already shocked beyond measure at this point.

Who would have thought, the news had even more heart-stopping descriptions, stating that right after withstanding a multi-megaton nuclear bomb, the Ancestors crossed thousands of mountains and rivers in a very short time, reached the sea area in Southern Africa, and with a wave of their hand wiped out an entire aircraft carrier battle group, along with everything within a radius of about forty kilometers!

This news had stunned the entire world!

...

Shanghai, Tan Palace.

Qin Liang, Qin Liang’s father Qin Yuyong, Xu Min who once had a brief encounter with Lu Li, Hu Jun, and Xue Lan were all here.

At this moment, Qin Yuyong was discussing with these partners about research and development of pharmaceuticals in a pharmaceutical company.

Suddenly, Qin Liang’s assistant Xiaozhen rushed in from outside with her cellphone, ”President Qin! President Qin!”

Qin Liang turned his head to look over, ”Xiaozhen, what’s wrong, is something the matter?”

Qin Yuyong, Xu Min, Hu Jun, and Xue Lan also looked over, slightly displeased.

They’re talking business now; being interrupted would surely make them unhappy.

You’re so loud; could it be the end of the world?

Xiaozhen, looking stunned, placed the phone on the coffee table in front of Qin Liang, pointed at the news on the screen, and said, ”President Qin, look quickly, Ancestor has stirred up a globally shocking, terrifying event in Africa!”

”Ancestor? The superhuman who recently caused an explosion near New York comparable to a multi-million-ton nuclear explosion?”

”What major thing has he done this time?”

Qin Yuyong, Xu Min, Hu Jun, and Xue Lan were quite interested and didn’t find Xiaozhen’s previous behavior noisy anymore.

They asked with smiles, glancing at Qin Liang as they crowded around the phone screen.

It would have been better not to look.

Qin Liang nearly choked on his breath after seeing it.

Qin Yuyong, Xu Min, Hu Jun, and Xue Lan also held their breath and were completely stunned!

”Wha...what?”

”Wiped out thirty thousand mercenaries?”

”Withstood a multi-million-ton nuclear explosion?”

”And under those conditions, safeguarded the lives of over a hundred others?”

”Then with a wave of his hand, flattened an entire carrier battle group and a forty-kilometer radius of ocean?”

...

Su City, in a hotel’s dining room.

The company was about to open.

Xiaoqing and Xiaozhao were appointed by Lu Li as managers.

At this juncture, inviting some partners for a meal to express gratitude was essential.

After all, Peng Erping and others had been quite helpful during this period.

Also, before the official opening, people like Wang Jun and other company engineers definitely needed a meal as a token of appreciation.

So, because of the large number of people, Xiaoqing and Xiaozhao directly booked a small dining room.

Everyone chatted while eating.

The TV nearby was on mute because it was too noisy, and no one paid attention.

”Mr. Zhao, your company is about to open, won’t Mr. Lu come to take a look?” Peng Erping asked curiously.

Xiaozhao replied with a smile, ”We aren’t sure about that; the boss is busy with other things all day and hasn’t informed us.”

The female vice president of another equipment supplier said, ”I’ve admired President Lu for a long time, unfortunately never met him.”

Hmm, she spoke rather reservedly. In fact, this female vice president vaguely knew that Lu Li’s background was significant, so she wanted to connect.

Xiaozhao, who had been handling company affairs, had somewhat picked up on these things over time and roughly understood what the female vice president meant.

He casually responded, ”Once things calm down, the boss might visit, and if President Zhu is available, you could come and tour our production and research...”

As he was dealing with the partners,

Xiaoqing, who was sipping tea, suddenly widened her eyes.

She looked somewhat horrified at the TV opposite the dining table.

She suddenly interrupted Xiaozhao, her tone somewhat horrified, ”Where’s the TV remote? Quick, get the remote over here!”

”Huh?”

”What’s wrong?”

Everyone was startled by Xiaoqing’s loud call.

Xiaoqing seemed to lose her senses, urgently saying, ”Get the remote to me quickly!”

Xiaozhao quickly looked back, saw the remote on the cart, picked it up, and handed it over.

Xiaoqing took the remote and immediately turned up the volume.

The next moment, the news report shocked over a hundred people dining in the hall!

”...Ancestor in Niger withstands a multi-million-ton nuclear explosion unscathed. Reportedly, Ancestor became enraged and flew to the coast in no time, wiping out an entire carrier battle group and flattening a forty-kilometer radius sea area...”

The hall fell completely silent!

Then, exclamations arose one after another!

”Ah?”

”What?”

”What?”

Xiaoqing, Xiaozhao, Wang Jun, and others.

Neither Peng Erping, the female vice president, nor the partners had anticipated Ancestor to be this powerful!

To withstand a multi-million-ton nuclear explosion?

And he wiped out everything within a forty-kilometer sea area with a wave of his hand?

That’s not just shocking; it’s terrifying!

...

Similar scenes were taking place on Weibo, Tieba, forums, TVs, and everywhere around the country.

The entire nation’s people were already in an uproar, all blown away by a shocking news no one expected!

No, it wasn’t just nationwide.

It seemed that people all over the globe were completely blown away by this earth-shattering news!
