The Plan to Wipe Out The Hand

Countless chunks of rubble, metal fragments, and ninja remains were hurled into the air, pelting the incomparably sturdy greatshield in Lin Hai's hands like raindrops with a rapid clatter, producing dense, muffled impacts.

Yet the five people sheltering behind the greatshield felt nothing but the tremors beneath their feet and the deafening roar in their ears. Their bodies suffered no impact or injury whatsoever.

Lin Hai's earlier precise knockback had sent two or three red-clad ninjas smashing through the already old and flimsy walls, flying outside the building before they exploded.

This dispersed the explosion's power to some extent and prevented the blast waves from creating an even more terrifying cumulative effect within the relatively enclosed building.

Thus, aside from a moderate tremor from beneath their feet and the temporary ringing in their ears caused by the tremendous noise, the five people behind the super shield suffered no actual impact or injury.

Once Lin Hai and Harry estimated that the blast wave had passed and the dust had settled somewhat, they were the first to peek out from behind the shield.

What met their eyes was a dim, devastated scene, as though it had been ravaged by a hurricane.

The walls around the explosion's center had been blasted open with enormous holes, exposing twisted rebar and the night beyond. The floor was covered in charred marks and scattered rubble, while the air was thick with gunpowder smoke, dust, and the faint stench of burnt flesh.

He shook his buzzing head and took a moment to recover before focusing again. He reactivated his super hearing, as precise as a sophisticated radar, and carefully began distinguishing the remaining signs
