Chapter 242 One Month Later
This disaster, which everyone thought was inevitable, indeed disappeared quietly under everyone's doubts.
No one knew how Duan Ming did it, just as no one knew why Duan Ming had not heard from him for a month.
On the Nigu Star Port side, the entire star port had returned to its original position in the sixth domain, as if everything was just a dream. People were still living the same life as before, except that the owner of Nigu Star Port was no longer Admiral Nigu, but Guangshan.
Admiral Nigu was imprisoned in the castle's prison by Guangshan. At this time, he was completely crazy. Every day, he would not say a word except for giggling and sitting in a daze.
After discussing, Han Bing and Guangshan went to the Fire Rock Beast at the Duan family headquarters. His arrival rekindled hope for all members of the Duan family.
He told Tang Yaqing and other senior members exactly what Duan Ming had told him.
"Duan Ming is still alive in this world, and he will return safely one day!"
...
In an unknown area of the seventh domain, two figures, one big and one small, floated in space.
If someone saw the state of these two people at this time, they would be shocked, because they had no protective measures, but still had vital signs.
These two people are Duan Ming, the head of the Duan family, and Guangshan's nephew.
A month ago, Duan Ming came here with the metal barrel that could explode at any time. With Duan Ming's character, he couldn't just wait to die.
Instead of waiting for the devastating explosion, it's better to try your best! Even if failure will lead to the early arrival of the explosion, it's better than any damn fate!
Duan Ming first tried to slowly compress the metal barrel, but no matter how hard he tried, the shape of the metal barrel did not change at all.
Duan Ming couldn't help but murmured in confusion: "Could it be that there is no other substance in it, but full of metal?"
Apart from this explanation, Duan Ming couldn't think of any other possibilities. With his current ability, there should be no metal that he would not compress.
Duan Ming flew to the side of the metal barrel, grabbed it with both hands, took a deep breath, and then tore it violently!
The expected explosion did not come, and the metal barrel was torn open by Duan Ming.
Looking inside along the crack, just as Duan Ming guessed, there was a fusion of some unknown rare metals that had been compressed to the extreme.
The metal barrel was 100 meters high and more than 10 meters wide. The amount of metal needed to fill such a metal barrel was absolutely astronomical!
Where did Admiral Nico get so much metal?
Without time to think about this question carefully, Duan Ming continued to tear the metal barrel open along the crack.
As the torn gap became larger and larger, Duan Ming became more and more shocked, because the energy fluctuations flowing out of the metal barrel almost suffocated Duan Ming.
One thing he could confirm was that if this thing exploded, its destructive power would probably be higher than previously predicted!
"Save, save me..."
A boy's voice reached Duan Ming's ears, and his body was also startled.
Is Guangshan's nephew still alive?
Following the source of the sound, Duan Ming continued to tear the metal barrel in that direction.
I don't know how much time has passed, but the metal barrel was torn open by Duan Ming with a crack several meters long, and a delicate little hand appeared in front of Duan Ming!
Five minutes later, when Duan Ming looked at the unconscious boy in his arms, he couldn't help but frowned slightly.
His vital signs were all normal, and he was much stronger than ordinary humans, a bit like... a superpower!
From the appearance, this child looks six points like Admiral Nico and four points like Guangshan. He should be Guangshan's nephew.
The person was rescued and still alive, which is indeed a good thing, but how to deal with this metal barrel?
Even though Duan Ming forgot the time when he was extremely nervous just now, he could be sure that it had definitely exceeded twenty minutes.
Although the metal barrel has not exploded yet, who knows if it is "rusty" and will explode later?
Duan Ming will definitely not be at ease if he leaves like this.
Putting the child aside, Duan Ming continued his tearing project. Perhaps because of his superpowers, the deeper he went, the more terrifying the energy contained in it was.
Duan Ming even had a premonition that if he tore it inward a little more, the energy would definitely leak out instantly, which is an explosion in the general sense.
"Water, give me water..."
At this moment, the unconscious child woke up!
Duan Ming came to his side, looking at the young and slightly fearful face, Duan Ming asked.
"Do you know your name and why you are trapped in this metal barrel?"
The child's face showed a trace of confusion, and after thinking for a long time, he spoke.
"My name is Nick, my father is the admiral of Nigu Star Port, and my father let me in."
From these words, Duan Ming could not hear the slightest hatred, as if the child was still unaware of his previous situation, which was what humans call imprisonment.
"Then why did your father let you go there?"
"Dad said that my uncle is a superpower, and Nick also wants to be a great hero like my uncle, so my father made this toy for me. He said that as long as I can live here forever, I can fly in the sky like my uncle!"
Hearing Nick say this, Duan Ming frowned even deeper.
He roughly guessed the ins and outs of the matter. Admiral Nico did imprison his own son in this metal barrel, but it seemed that he had another purpose besides controlling the light flash to serve him!
Duan Ming had never heard of "creating" superpowers in this way, but the world is so big that there are all kinds of wonders. Judging from Nick's current physical condition, it was really successful.
"Brother, do you know where my father is? I haven't seen him for a long time!"
Facing an innocent and miserable child, Duan Ming couldn't bear to tell him the truth.
"I am your father's friend. You should sleep first and you can see him when you wake up."
Nick was a very obedient child. He closed his eyes and fell asleep soon.
Back to the metal barrel again, before Duan Ming checked again, he secretly said that it was not good!
The terrifying energy in the metal barrel was leaking out crazily. If it continued like this, I guess...
Just when he thought of this, Duan Ming's body was swallowed by the huge energy. In the critical moment, Duan Ming only had time to protect Nick firmly under his body before he lost consciousness.
Duan Ming, who thought he was going to die, never thought that not only did he not die, but he turned a disaster into a blessing!
