"What's that?!" The naval soldier on lookout aboard the aircraft carrier shouted the moment he spotted it.
The naval soldier monitoring the radar also issued a warning. Earlier, it had been flying alongside the fighter jet, so he had not observed it carefully and had assumed it was part of the aircraft. But once the nuclear bomb separated from the fighter, he immediately realized something was wrong. By then, however, it was already too late.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"
A mushroom cloud suddenly soared from the calm sea. The enormous shockwave and heat spread in every direction, instantly vaporizing the F-22 that had launched the nuclear bomb. The pilot did not even have a chance to scream before he was killed by the blast. In a way, he was fortunate—his suffering had lasted less than a second.
As for the aircraft carrier below, the general and soldiers had stared wide-eyed at the descending nuclear bomb until the moment they died. They did not even have time to feel fear before vanishing together with the carrier. Though the nuclear bomb was not particularly large, its power was utterly terrifying.
To be honest, Chen Fan had never personally experienced being hit by a nuclear bomb. Vector Manipulation surviving a nuclear explosion was only a theoretical possibility. Such a massive amount of radioactive material was not easy to block either. It would be fine if it remained stable, but with an abrupt explosion like this, the radioactive material became unstable as well, requiring even more calculations.
Chen Fan instantly spread his field, shrinking it to within half a meter of himself and setting it to reflect all energy, heat, force, kinetic energy, and impulse. Even so, the powerful shockwave still blasted Chen Fan away like a cannonball.
The people aboard the plane were all
