Awakening The Weakest Talent: Only I Level Up

Chapter 609 The Explosion's Aftermath

The blizzard had destroyed the outpost, and the outpost was buried beneath the snow.

Lu Yu and the others fled behind a wall. They were surrounded by snow taller than them and had to clear the snow before going back into hiding.

"This gust is about to leave, and it's starting to weaken." Xu Yuan yelled.

When Lu Yu looked up, he noticed a decrease in the number of snowflakes.

Lu Yu stood up and leaned against the walls, looking in the direction of the Truth Department's headquarters.

Immediately, a brilliant flame shone on Lu Yu's face, illuminating him bright red.

Boom!!!!

A thunderous rumble began to erupt.

The explosion has started, and its explosive power is sufficient to eradicate a city.

Lu Yu could clearly see that the city was turning into ashes under the ominous mushroom cloud of fire.

The stronghold of the Truth Department was buried in a sea of fire.

Lu Yu knew that the explosion wouldn't kill the core members of the Truth Department, but it would be enough to deal a devastating blow to them.

They had been growing for a long time and had accumulated a lot of treasures, particularly the truth potions they were making. All of these were soon to be destroyed by the raging fire.

The powerful explosion clashed against the blizzard, and the snowflakes quickly melted away.

What happened after the snowflakes were blown away was an intense heat wave!

Whooom!!!!

The scorching heat wave assaulted them, and the high temperatures ignited all flammable objects throughout the outpost. The fire raged, and heat waves batted against Lu Yu and the others, making them feel unbearably hot.

"I think I won't be able to withstand this high temperature any longer!" Xu Yuan yelled.

This was only the heat wave from the initial explosion. The temperature from the center of the blast would destroy this place once it blew over!

The newly accumulated snow had all melted into water and evaporated.

"Form a blockade against the heat wave as soon as possible. We'll then teleport out of here!"

Han Xuefei walked out and raised her staff as Lu Yu ordered.

Buzzz!

The staff quickly expended their energy, and an ice wall appeared in front of them.

Hu Guang, lying on the ground with his arms and legs tied, looked out the window at the city, which had been razed to the ground by the explosion in the distance. His face was blank, and he didn't come to his senses.

Then, all of a sudden, he sat up and cried.

"It's finished. The Truth Department can't be destroyed in this manner! Our mission is not yet complete!"

He exclaimed this sadly, and the woman beside him began crying.

"Don't do it! No! This has to be a hoax; the Truth Department cannot be destroyed!"

"You scumbags! Do you know what you've done?" Hu Guang yelled again.

Lu Yu approached him and kicked him. "Do you think I need you to remind me of what I've done? My main adversary is the Truth Department, and I won't stop as long as you're all alive!"

"You'll definitely regret turning the Truth Department against you!" Hu Guang made a threat.

"But you're the one regretting making me your enemy right now!" Lu Yu scowled.

Lu Yu's right claw slashed down and cut into Hu Guang's chest. Three sharp wounds appeared on his chest, and the blood was frozen into ice before it could spray out.

A sharp pain struck Hu Guang, causing him to scream in agony.

"Arghh! You..."

The three frozen wounds on his chest began to crack due to the low temperature, similar to shattering ice.

A terrifying chill spread from the wound, ripping his body apart.

Hu Guang felt despair as he watched his body gradually tear apart.

"I can't die just yet! I have yet to witness the organization's success! I still have hope to live!"

Hu Guang yearned to live, but he had no way out. He was in a situation where death was a foregone conclusion.

The woman next to Hu Guang was sobbing uncontrollably. "What should we do, captain? We're going to die right here!"

Lu Yu gave her a look as his left claw became his Undead Dragon Claw. He aimed the center of his palm, and a fireball erupted, torching the woman's body.

Lu Yu stood up and looked ahead after granting the two a slow death.

"The ice wall can't hold out much longer because of the high temperature! It melted almost instantly!" Han Xuefei clenched her teeth and spoke with difficulty.

It would have melted instantly if it hadn't been for her constant pouring of mental power into the ice wall.

"How long can you hold out?" Lu Yu inquired.

"Not more than ten minutes. I'm afraid it will be even shorter if the temperature continues to rise!"

A mere ten minutes was insufficient to accomplish anything.

Lu Yu looked at Xu Yuan quickly and said, "Activate the teleportation scroll. Let's head back!"

Lu Yu then pulled out his teleportation scroll; the others did the same.

Yun Zirou and Su Qing both took out their scrolls and prepared to be teleported back at any time.

"Go!"

A bright light flashed as Lu Yu opened the teleportation scroll!

All of a sudden, a strange scene happened. Within the scroll, the light retracted and was firmly suppressed.

"What..."

Lu Yu was taken aback, as were Yun Zirou and Su Qing!

"What exactly is going on? Can it not be used?" Yun Zirou asked, surprised. Wouldn't they be roasted alive here if they couldn't teleport back?

Lu Yu put the scroll away and stood there momentarily, thinking.

"There is only one explanation. We are in a restriction array formation."

Yun Zirou and Su Qing both realized the same thing at the mention of the restriction array.

"Is it really? If that's the case, we're out of options!" Yun Zirou expressed her pity.

Lu Yu helplessly nodded. "Obviously, this is the case. We're not allowed to use teleportation scrolls within its range."

"This type of formation is quite common and is typically created in highly secure locations. The military has a large forbidden zone using the same array."

"This is unexpected. Alright, now all we have to do is figure out how to deal with the fallout. I'm hoping the explosion's aftershocks aren't too severe!"

Lu Yu looked up at the distant explosion and the mushroom cloud that shot up into the sky.

The fire had illuminated the previously dark, icy tundra.

"Get ready to run!"

Fortunately, they were quite a distance away. Despite the fact that there were extremely high heat waves, the powerful impact of the explosion did not endanger them.

In this case, they only needed to withstand the high temperature to survive.

"I... I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for long..." Han Xuefei expressed concern. "If there's no protection, the heat wave would burn all of us!"

Lu Yu raised his hands and transformed them into his Ice Dragon Claws.

"I can assist you..."
