Chapter 444 Misunderstanding
In the simple military camp, inside the huge tent that serves as a temporary command center.

At the moment when the mushroom cloud rose, the big screen that was previously broadcasting the real-time scene in the valley had already turned dark, and there was no picture.

The huge noise caused by the nuclear explosion, for the temporary camp dozens of kilometers away, was just a few shakes of the ground and a strong light illuminated the sky. Apart from that, it did not cause any other major impact.

"Commanders, the drones are ready and the ground search team has been dispatched."

"However, the central area of ​​the nuclear explosion is still scorching hot with dust all over the sky."

"Even if our people have protective clothing to protect them, for the time being, they can only search the outer area of ​​the nuclear explosion."

……

A man in military uniform with the rank of major strode into the tent, saluted Zhou, Zhu and others, and reported loudly.

"How long will it take for the image on the screen to return to normal?" A man among the people in the tent asked at the right time.

"Commander, the drone signal transmission has begun, and several experts in the camp are debugging the equipment."

"The picture on the screen will definitely return to normal within a minute."

Full of confidence, the man in military uniform quickly responded.

He had just finished speaking when the image on the large screen, which had originally turned black, began to appear again.

However, because nuclear radiation can have a certain impact on electronic equipment, possibly damaging circuit boards or causing data loss, etc., the drones used to transmit signals can only hover in the peripheral areas and cannot penetrate into the center of the nuclear explosion.

Although the picture was restored on the big screen in the tent, the image quality was a bit blurry. Apart from the wasteland full of weathered rocks, there was not even a single human figure to be seen.

"Nuclear bombs, this is the ultimate weapon for human society."

"In the moment before the nuclear explosion, Jiang Yao was still lying there reading a book as if nothing had happened. We can be sure of this."

"What do you think? Is he okay? Was the experiment successful?"

……

Taking his eyes away from the big screen that had just restored the image, Mr. Zhou sighed and said with emotion.

After he finished speaking, the other people in the tent looked at each other, and for a moment, they didn't know how to respond.

After a while, Zhu Lao's face was complicated, and he responded: "As the saying goes, if you don't have the skills, you dare not go to Liangshan."

"Since Jiang Yao was able to remain so calm in the face of a nuclear explosion, he must have some confidence!"

"It is now 6:51 pm. It has been almost an hour since the nuclear explosion. He has not appeared for such a long time. Perhaps he was delayed by some accident."

……

Although he said this, judging from Zhu Lao's tone, he himself seemed unsure of what he said.

After all, as the ultimate weapon of human society, the terrifying power of nuclear bombs has long been deeply rooted in people's minds.

A second before the nuclear explosion, Jiang Yao was still lying on the ground reading a book, and he didn't show any intention of running away.

Just thinking about using flesh and blood to endure the tens of millions of degrees of temperature in the center of a nuclear explosion is enough to make people feel daunting.

What's more, it has been an hour since the nuclear explosion. If Jiang Yao is really safe and sound, based on his speed, according to common sense, he should have returned to this camp.

"Commanders, please take a look at what is displayed on the screen?"

While everyone was silent, a middle-aged man in the tent looked horrified. He pointed at the image transmitted by the drone on the big screen not far away and exclaimed.

Following his line of sight, everyone looked over there.

On the empty wasteland, a monster with fangs in its mouth and strange patterns all over its body was kneeling on one knee on the ground.

A pair of huge bone wings with a wingspan of two meters covered most of his body.

"Roar……"

When Zhou Lao, Zhu Lao and others in the tent were watching this scene on the big screen, the monster raised its head and roared towards the sky.

The next moment, the picture on the screen suddenly went black and switched to scenes elsewhere in the outer area of ​​the nuclear explosion.

"The drone that captured this scene has crashed and is completely scrapped."

"What kind of monster is this? It's just a nuclear explosion experiment, how come something like this suddenly exploded?"

"Fortunately, this is an uninhabited desert, not a busy city. Otherwise, things would definitely get completely out of control, and who knows what kind of storm would arise!"

"This monster is definitely not a good one, judging from its appearance. UAVs nearby, monitor the area immediately. Ground search forces, suspend searching other areas and rush here. If there is any accident, attack is allowed!"

……

Inside the tent, everyone's expressions changed at the same time.

Those who are not of my race have different hearts. This is a true saying left by our ancestors.

Faced with the monster that suddenly appeared in the picture, Zhou Lao, Zhu Lao and others, no matter how cautious they were, did not take it too seriously.

With the people in the tent as the core, orders were quickly passed down.

This place is just a simple camp built temporarily to cooperate with the nuclear explosion experiment. It is not a military base.

Although there are troops stationed here, their number is small, only a battalion of three or four hundred people.

As the order was given, except for dozens of people who remained in the camp, all the rest quickly gathered towards the area where the monster was.

*

Above the wasteland.

"Roar..." Jiang Yao roared a few more times at the sky.

Of course, he didn't want to declare his presence because his throat was itchy, but because the slow formation of the pair of bone wings made him begin to feel an indescribable extreme pain.

Originally, after washing himself and changing into new clothes, he had already set out to return to the simple camp, and had not thought of staying any longer in this area with strong radiation.

The ubiquitous nuclear radiation in this area could actually cause the evil corpses to directly transform into flying corpses. For Jiang Yao, this was completely a surprise.

On the light curtain panel, the words "Flying Corpse Transformation 1%" were sometimes blurry and sometimes clear.

Perhaps, it is because the pair of bone wings have not yet been fully formed, so the information displayed on the panel is like this.

After those strange and extremely mysterious patterns appeared on his body, the nuclear radiation that was drawn into his body became noticeably more intense.

When the transformation just happened, apart from the endless power, he did not feel much pain. However, as the pair of bone wings became more and more complete, it was as if countless ants were biting inside his body, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

Until this moment, the entire pair of bone wings was finally fully formed.

All the pain disappeared, and he felt his body relax. He slowly stood up bit by bit.

With a swish of his wings, he was suspended in the air hundreds of meters above the ground.

"The speed I burst out with all my strength has definitely exceeded the speed of sound!"

"This form is so powerful."

"Now that I have wings, I finally don't have to worry about flying anymore!"

Looking at the clouds above his head and feeling the breeze blowing towards him, Jiang Yao opened his arms. He looked intoxicated and simply closed his eyes.

Many people have the dream of flying. To be able to soar into the sky with one's own strength without the aid of any equipment is an ability that countless people have dreamed of.

In addition to being able to fly, in Jiang Yao’s flying corpse form, as long as his feet are on the ground, his strength will never be exhausted.

What surprised him even more was that, just like his previous transformation into a corpse, he could still switch freely between the two forms of an ordinary person and a flying corpse.

Of course, krypton life is inevitable.

In the past, when he turned into a corpse and maintained that form for three days, it would consume a year of his lifespan. Now that he is in the form of a flying corpse, the consumption of his lifespan must be even greater.

However, before actually testing it, he is not sure how long a year's lifespan can maintain this form.

Although the flying corpse transformation has such a huge hidden danger, Jiang Yao still feels excited when he thinks that he can fly when necessary in the future. "Boom boom boom..." A series of roars woke Jiang Yao, who had closed his eyes and was enjoying the feeling of flying.

On the ground beneath him, more than a dozen infantry fighting vehicles were surrounding him.

After discovering him floating several hundred meters in the air, not only the anti-aircraft machine guns, but even some unknown portable anti-aircraft missiles fired fireworks towards him.

"Fuck..." Jiang Yao cursed softly with a look of dissatisfaction on his face. He spread his wings and disappeared.

"This monster is so fast, it must have reached the speed of sound."

"Damn it, we can't even lock onto him with the weapons we have here!"

"Where did he go? Oh no, he's coming towards us."

……

This area is about six or seven kilometers away from the center of the nuclear explosion.

Although the concentration of nuclear radiation in the air here is not too high, it is definitely not possible for ordinary people to stay in this environment without protection.

Those people in the infantry fighting vehicle were wearing protective clothing, so their hands and feet were naturally a little clumsy. Under such circumstances, the chance of them manipulating their weapons to hit Jiang Yao was basically zero.

Originally, an order came down from above, only saying that if there was an accident, they were allowed to attack freely.

But when they arrived here, Jiang Yao was already in the sky. Seeing his terrifying image waving a pair of bone wings and soaring in the sky, the people in the infantry fighting vehicles subconsciously launched an attack on him.

"I'm Jiang Yao. I'm a human, not a monster!"

"If anyone dares to attack me again, don't blame me for being merciless and ruthless!"

Waving the pair of bone wings, Jiang Yao's speed at this moment can reach about 500 meters per second, which is obviously much higher than the speed of sound of 340 meters per second.

In the eyes of those people in the infantry fighting vehicle, they only saw him flash once or twice, and then he appeared in front of everyone.

Jiang Yao stomped on the ground hard, and the entire ground shook several times.

An invisible shock wave, starting from him, spread out in a fan shape towards the direction of the infantry fighting vehicles.

More than a dozen infantry fighting vehicles were shaken and jumped one or two feet high. In an instant, nearly half of the vehicles broke down.

Fortunately, Jiang Yao still held back. After all, he knew that the main reason these people attacked him was because of misunderstanding.

If they really wanted to play tricks and were prepared to put him to death, so many big guys wouldn't come here, and they wouldn't wait until the nuclear explosion experiment was successful to suddenly attack him.

With an angry shout, his voice was so penetrating that it fell directly into the ears of everyone in the infantry fighting vehicle.

"It has fangs in its mouth and bony wings on its back. It's not a monster? It's actually a human? How is this possible?"

"Jiang Yao? Is he the Mr. Jiang who used nuclear explosions to test his own strength? Why did he suddenly become like this?"

"Stop it, stop it quickly!"

……

Some people were shocked and exclaimed repeatedly, while others changed their expressions drastically and started shouting.

After Jiang Yao's words fell into their ears, everyone's reactions were different, but fortunately, they finally stopped the attack at the first moment.

"Mr. Jiang, we really didn't know it was you in heaven!"

"We did not intend to attack you. This is a misunderstanding..."

Several people opened the car door, got out of the infantry fighting vehicle, and explained to Jiang Yao with an apologetic look on their faces.

However, before they could finish their words, Jiang Yao interrupted them: "Alright, since it's just a misunderstanding, just talk it out!"

"It's a wasteland to begin with. After the nuclear explosion, there won't be any living creatures in this area except me."

"If you don't have anything important to do, don't stay here for long, leave now!"

Jiang Yao was too lazy to bother with a bunch of minions, but he would definitely not have a good face towards them since they had just attacked him.

After waving his hand and saying a few words, he turned and rushed towards the sky, flying all the way in the direction of the camp that served as a temporary command post.

It is true that he can exceed the speed of sound under his speed burst, but the consumption is a bit high and cannot be regarded as normal.

At this moment, he was soaring in the sky, so his speed was naturally much slower.

By the time he arrived at the camp twenty or thirty kilometers away, more than ten or twenty minutes had passed.

Of course, Jiang Yao deliberately took such a long time.

After all, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and being attacked as a monster, he definitely needed to give those people in the camp more time to react.

As for escaping from his current flying corpse state and returning to the form of an ordinary person, this thought had indeed appeared in his mind, but it only lasted for a moment before he had denied it.

The reason for this is very simple. Every time he transformed from a corpse into an ordinary person, he had only a little flesh on his body and looked like neither human nor ghost. It took him several days to recover and make his body full again.

After completing a nuclear explosion experiment, Jiang Yao would take special care of his appearance and put on new clothes. If his extremely weak appearance were seen by Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhu and others, the deterrent effect he wanted would undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

Inside the camp, soldiers were armed with live ammunition and on high alert.

Facing Jiang Yao who was descending from the sky waving a pair of huge bone wings, it was obvious that many people were very nervous. But fortunately, although they were nervous, no one shot at Jiang Yao.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang!"

"We have received the news that you have returned safely after completing the nuclear explosion experiment."

"Master Zhu, Master Zhou and other leaders have instructed me to take you directly to them after you return to the camp!"

A man with the rank of colonel stepped out from the crowd, saluted Jiang Yao, and made a gesture of invitation, greeting him.

"Okay! Just lead the way!" Jiang Yao nodded and agreed.

There were actually not many makeshift tents in this camp. With the help of the guidance of the spiritual imprint, he already knew the location of Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhu and others.

But since there was someone leading the way, after thinking about it, he gave up the idea of ​​just forcing his way in.

After all, although Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhu and others are just ordinary people who are weak in fighting, their terrifying identities are there. Jiang Yao should give them some necessary respect and be a little better.

"Commander, Mr. Jiang is here!" The colonel led Jiang Yao to the door of a tent, stopped and reported to the inside.

"Xiao Jiang... please come in, please come in!" Just one or two seconds after the words fell, the tent door was opened, and several people walked out.

They originally looked enthusiastic, but when they saw Jiang Yao's current state, without exception, their faces became stiff.

But they were all smart people. In just a moment, they had reacted, smiled again, and quickly invited Jiang Yao into the tent.

Of the six or seven people in the tent, except for Mr. Zhou and Mr. Zhu, the rest seemed to be from the military.

They were dressed in military uniforms, and in addition to the golden branches and leaves, there were also one or two stars on their epaulettes.

Jiang Yao knew the meaning of this shoulder strap, but due to some restrictions, he couldn't explain it in detail.

"Xiao Jiang, we haven't seen you since the nuclear explosion. We are all very worried."

"Everyone was relieved to know that you returned safely!"

"You look like this now..."

Inside the tent, everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Yao.

When they first saw Jiang Yao's appearance on the big screen, they thought that a monster had suddenly appeared. Jiang Yao, with fangs in his mouth and bony wings on his back, looked so hideous and terrifying in their eyes.

But now, after knowing that the monster was Jiang Yao, their mentality had obviously undergone some huge changes.

The living Jiang Yao stood in front of them. Although they were still shocked, in their eyes, the pair of huge bone wings looked so majestic and extraordinary, and the strange patterns on them had an indescribable mysterious beauty.

After exclaiming for a while, Mr. Zhou was the first to speak and asked tentatively.
