The atmosphere fell silent.
"Have you searched everywhere?" Ye Zong asked in a low voice.
"We searched everywhere. One of the smallest nuclear bombs is missing, a one-kiloton bomb!" Major Qi said gravely.
Hearing this, Chen Shouyi relaxed slightly. Fortunately, its yield wasn't high. A one-kiloton bomb could only destroy a village.
Next, the soldiers questioned the researchers one by one. Unfortunately, the researchers had only been here for two days, and the nuclear airship was one of Great Xia Nation's most advanced strategic weapons for deterring the other world. Its interior was complicated and vast; without blueprints or trained personnel, one could easily get lost inside.
After the barbarians brought them here, all their work had still been in the exploratory stage. No one had even touched the nuclear weapons in the warhead bay, much less learned where the missing bomb was.
With no leads, Major Qi acted decisively and immediately ordered the convoy to return.
This journey deep into enemy territory was extremely dangerous, and they had no time to waste. They wouldn't be able to recover the missing bomb anytime soon. Besides, the twenty-four nuclear bombs they had recovered were obviously far more important than the one small-yield bomb they'd lost.
