Chapter 75

The nuclear explosion, the ultimate power created by humans, finally demonstrated its destructive force, shattering Australia into pieces and causing it to sink completely.

The waves it generated reached heights of a thousand meters, stirring up much of the Pacific Ocean. Not only did Australia sink, but the tsunami caused by this earth-shattering nuclear explosion swept across three thousand kilometers, leaving destruction in its wake. If it weren't for the apocalypse, the casualties from the tsunami might have been even more severe than those directly hit by the nuclear strike in Australia.

Not only the tsunami, but the strong impact of Australia's sinking also caused the tectonic plates to compress, leading to rare and massive earthquakes around the world on that day.

The nuclear bomb, as the ultimate weapon of humanity, unleashed terrifying energy, causing a global disaster rather than a regional one.

Fortunately, it was the apocalypse, and most of the world had been abandoned, becoming the domain of zombies. The impact on the major bases was not too severe, but everyone still felt the terror of the nuclear explosion.

This time, it was even more terrifying than the previous nuclear strike on Japan. After all, Australia was much larger than Japan, and the impact of its complete submersion was far beyond what Japan could compare to.

The major bases urgently connected and reaffirmed the agreement to use nuclear weapons cautiously. As for Li Mu, no one believed that anything could survive such a catastrophic nuclear explosion. Even if Li Mu was the tyrant among zombies, a terrifying existence that had evolved three times, he was still just an ant in the face of a nuclear explosion.

The radioactive clouds and dust would affect this sea area for a long time, and with the oceanic monsoons, they would drift into the Eurasian continent, darkening the sky. If it weren't for the apocalypse, the aftermath of this nuclear explosion would be enough to shock the entire world.

Three days later, Lu Shui stood quietly in front of a new grave. Rainwater trickled down the new tombstone, wetting Lu Shui's dress. Chen Ziyi held an umbrella, standing beside her to shield her from the rain, and glanced at the words carved on the tombstone.

The words "deceased husband" on the tombstone made Chen Ziyi feel particularly刺眼 (刺眼 means "刺眼" in Chinese, which translates to "刺眼" in English, but in this context, it means "刺眼" which is "刺眼" in English, so I will use "刺眼" here). He couldn't help but say, "Is it worth it? You can't even be sure if those are really his ashes!"

Lu Shui stared blankly at the new grave, raised her head in a daze, looked at Chen Ziyi, then lowered her head again, taking a few steps forward, letting the rain soak her face as she stared at the grave in a daze.

The ashes were delivered by General Chen Sheng, claiming they were obtained from Dr. Manhattan. Lu Shui didn't care if it was true or not. In fact, she knew it was likely a lie, but what did it matter? As long as she believed it, it was true.

She knew that Dr. Manhattan might have been lying to her from the beginning, but what did it matter? She was willing to do anything for Li Mu, whether it was true or not, she was content.

"Lu Shui."

Chen Ziyi stepped forward, shielding her from the wind and rain, "He's dead. You should know my feelings. Don't get lost in this anymore. Wake up. Now and in the future, the one who can protect you is me!"

"Have you ever seen a flower? It blooms once, and that's its whole life."

Lu Shui didn't look up, speaking softly.

"But the next year, there will be flowers again."

Chen Ziyi said.

"That's another flower and another person's story. Leave, there's no flower you want here, only a widow."

Lu Shui's words made Chen Ziyi somewhat angry, "What kind of era is this? There's no such thing as a widow. What you should do now is forget him and start a new life."

"I thought I made it clear. Whether it's you or your father, I've already said it." Lu Shui frowned, disliking Chen Ziyi shouting at Li Mu's grave.

"The meaning of your life is not to spend the rest of your days mourning a dead person. If he really loved you, he wouldn't want you to be like this."

Chen Ziyi tried to persuade Lu Shui.

But Lu Shui's face grew colder, "He went to his death hoping I would live. So I live, not because I fear death, but because he wants me to live."

"Leave, you're not welcome here."

After saying this, Lu Shui pointed, "Drive him away."

The military police who had been following Lu Shui couldn't help but smile bitterly, not daring to drive away the son of General Chen Sheng.

Seeing Lu Shui's cold expression, Chen Ziyi sighed, "Alright, I'll leave. But I won't give up. I absolutely won't allow you to spend the rest of your life mourning a dead person."

With that, Chen Ziyi turned and left. Lu Shui ignored him, standing quietly in the rain, staring blankly at the new grave, her cheeks cold, unable to tell if the wetness on her face was rain or tears.

...

The Pacific Ocean was also raining. After a long period of intense sunlight, the sky seemed to be making up for the lack of rain, with the rain falling intermittently, and the overcast sky showing no sign of clearing.

The tsunami caused by Australia's sinking had gradually subsided, and the sea surface had calmed down. A bright red mass floated in the water, extremely noticeable.

"Damn it! Damn it! The king bullies me, humans bully me, and now even a fish dares to bully me. I can't go on like this!"

A voice of extreme anger broke the silence of the vast sea. The bright red mass suddenly moved, clumsily flying into the air, with a fish still biting its bare, featherless buttocks, looking extremely comical.

It was none other than Li Mu's red mutant parrot.

However, the red mutant parrot was in a pitiful state, with most of its once-prideful feathers gone, looking like a plucked chicken.

Furiously flapping its wings to shake off the fish, the red mutant parrot plopped back into the water. The sea rippled, and soon Li Mu's figure slowly surfaced.

With his eyes tightly closed, Li Mu didn't look as pitiful as the red mutant parrot, but his muscles were abnormally twisted and twitching, looking extremely frightening.

"King, when will you wake up? If you don't wake up soon, I really can't hold on."

The red mutant parrot looked sad. The power of the human nuclear explosion exceeded imagination. Even though Li Mu had quickly taken it underwater, they still suffered a significant impact.

The red mutant parrot's feathers were falling out, indicating the effects of the nuclear explosion, and Li Mu had entered a state of hibernation, his condition unknown.

The red mutant parrot opened its mouth, drank some rainwater, and seeing no signs of Li Mu waking up, it could only look around dejectedly. The vast sea was endless, and there was no way to determine direction, so it could only drift with the waves, floating on the surface.

The red mutant parrot tried to activate the pendant around Li Mu's neck to wake him up, but the usual method failed, making the red mutant parrot even more panicked, unsure of what had happened to Li Mu.
