Dawn of a New Era-Chapter 447 - 421: Destruction from Earth (Part 2)
At this time, it is the season of revival in the otherworld.
Grass grows long, and orioles fly!
Ma Liwei is wearing a piece of animal skin, carrying a basket made from rattan on his back, dragging his weary body as he numbly throws the feces left by night beasts into the basket behind him. All around are humans who came to this otherworld just like him.
The threefold gravity makes it extremely difficult for him, a Martial Artist Apprentice. Running is out of the question, even walking is a risky endeavor.
He wiped off the sweat and sighed softly.
He was a devout believer, secretly joining a cult to spread the glory of the God of Hunting before Dongning City was taken over by the deity.
After Dongning was conquered by the God of Hunting, he, along with many like-minded believers, came to this world with the noble aspiration to reform the Barbarians and develop the backward civilization here.
However, it seems the Great Lord has forgotten them.
In this barbaric tribe, humans who can’t lift a hand or shoulder a load are subjects of ridicule and exclusion, only slightly better off than slaves. When they arrived here, there were three priests, a Martial Artist, and even a powerful High Priest among the humans, but all of them soon died under mysterious circumstances.
Traditional strength is not exclusive to humans. Barbarians are even more conservative and xenophobic, with a strict hierarchy.
If it weren’t for the Great Lord’s restraint, humans might have been slaughtered like swine.
Sometimes Barbarians even eat their own; what more for the alien race of humans?
However, to get enough food is simply not possible.
Here, with backward productivity and no surplus food to support the idle, humans can only rely on themselves.
Occasionally, by setting traps in the safe zones near the tribe, he could luckily catch some small animals, but more often, like everyone else, he ate the tubers that numbed his mouth.
This is the only food humans can easily find that has been proven non-toxic by humans themselves.
In just half a year, he went from a robust man to the brink of starvation. He feels that surviving this long is already a blessing from the Great Lord, and now he dares not practice the Thirty-Six Styles of Body Refining, fearing sudden death during practice.
This is not the life he wanted at all.
He worships the God of Hunting not only for eternal life in the Divine Country after death but also for a better life!
Such as status and power.
Now, forget about those; even basic sustenance is a problem.
He misses everything about Earth, at least he didn’t have to eat those nauseating tubers there.
"Lao Ma, how much now?" A middle-aged man in front, panting and taking a rest, shouted to him from afar.
"Almost half a basket!" Ma Liwei looked back and said.
"Just hold on for another year, next year should be better!" The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, optimistic.
"That’s right, once we plant the potatoes and corn, leave some for the next harvest, we won’t suffer like this next year, but I’m worried the Barbarians will get jealous!" Ma Liwei said.
Before coming to the otherworld, these humans brought quite a few seeds.
Rice, potatoes, corn, vegetables, they have them all. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
Sadly, everyone underestimated the harsh environment here.
Human farmlands are fertile, cultivated over countless years, while here, they are barren, requiring new cultivation.
But even on Earth, cultivating barren land takes hard labor, not to mention in the Tamu world with threefold gravity and no way to clear the land with fire.
Moreover, the river isn’t far from here.
But the river is full of ferocious fish and sometimes river monsters that come ashore, making fetching water dangerous, thus impeding the cultivation of water-intensive crops.
In the past six months, hundreds of humans have used their spare time to slowly cultivate, managing to cultivate only a few acres.
The middle-aged man, hearing the Barbarians’ jealousy, immediately got angry: "Then let’s fight, these retrogressive, lowly Barbarians."
Ma Liwei remained silent.
Fight?
Can we win?
He couldn’t even run fast, and the bow and sword he brought here were snatched by the Barbarians.
With what to fight, his old life?
Even though the tribe’s young and strong Barbarians were conscripted, leaving only the old and weak, humans still stood no chance.
What’s more, they outnumber humans tenfold, a hundredfold!
"Things will get better in the future, the Great Lord won’t watch humans suffer. Once we win this war and conquer Great Xia Country, maybe soon, we can return to Earth!" After a while, Ma Liwei said hopefully.
"Ah!" The middle-aged man sighed.
"Look, what’s that in the sky?" Just then, a shout came from afar.
Ma Liwei quickly looked up towards the sky, only to see something oval and chubby slowly flying towards them.
As soon as he saw it, a current ran up his spine, making his whole body numb.
This is a human creation, a human airship.
No flying creature is this oval shape.
The familiar sight stirred a feeling of excitement in him.
Countless nights tossing and turning, reminiscing about everything on Earth, recalling the wife and son he left behind, unknowingly wetting his pillow with tears, deep inside he had already regretted.
But soon, a trace of doubt arose in his heart.
This is the otherworld, why would a human airship come here?
Which spatial passage did it come from?
He suddenly thought of a possibility, and his hands and feet turned cold.
No, it can’t be! No!
The Great Lord is so powerful, how could Dongning fall, especially since this war conscripted all the young and strong Barbarians.
"Run, it’s a nuclear strategic airship, it’s going to drop a nuclear bomb." Somebody shouted.
Endless fear, like a giant hand gripping Ma Liwei’s heart, dragging him into an abyss.
He stood there dazed for a moment.
Until the middle-aged man next to him tugged his arm, bringing him back to his senses: "Run, to the earth cellars in the tribe!"
Ma Liwei shuddered, jogged a few steps with the basket, realized, and quickly threw it away.
Everyone began to frantically sprint.
Someone fell, breaking an arm, but stood up oblivious and continued running, fear in their eyes.
The rumble of the airship gradually grew louder, becoming increasingly distinct.
After running for more than half a minute, Ma Liwei was gasping heavily, his feet heavy like lead; he couldn’t run any further.
He couldn’t help but look back.
He saw a black dot swiftly dropping from high above.
...
This was an eight-ton super hydrogen bomb developed for potential otherworld wars, with a yield of 150 megatons.
Before coming, all the airship’s crew had already prepared for sacrifice.
With the airship’s slow escape, survival was impossible for them.
This apocalyptic super hydrogen bomb descended straight down!
At an altitude of 6,000 meters, it erupted with a thousand times brighter light than the sun, swallowing the entire airship instantly.
Simultaneously, this terrifying light spread rapidly at lighting speed.
Beneath the explosion, within a forty-kilometer radius, all matter quickly vaporized into a sea of molten lava, while the distant forest began to blaze under the horrific light radiation, countless creatures turned to ash before they could struggle.
At this moment, whether strong or weak, all are equal in the face of a nuclear explosion.
Followed by a devastating shockwave.
Mountains flattened, rivers buried under sands, forests turned to desert, the entire surface was shaved off a layer.
Even two hundred kilometers from the explosion’s center, it was still affected.
In the otherworld’s land, an enormous, soul-crushing mushroom cloud rose slowly, the sky turned blood-red, the clouds crackled with thunderstorms, the light of destruction lingered for two minutes before slowly extinguishing.
Over an area of nearly 100,000 square kilometers, amidst gale-force winds, all the tribes large and small that lived there had disappeared. It had become a complete desert, devoid of life.
ps: It’s Monday, asking for recommendations aaaaaa!
