Not paying attention to the heated discussion in the bullet screen, upon hearing Gaia say this, Jenny felt relieved. An effective range of fifty meters was already enough.
This was a gun after all.
Better to test it first.
Jenny jumped back into the water.
Once in the sea, she raised her hand and pulled the trigger downward!
Bang!
A muffled sound rang out. Jenny did not feel much recoil from the gun.
The bullet shot out, kicking up a spray of water and tracing a straight trajectory. It extended into the distance at a speed invisible to the naked eye!
"Nice! Very good!" Jenny shouted. "Woohoo! Now that I have a pistol in hand, the world is mine!"
Now that her basic equipment was complete and she even had a hot weapon!
Staying here any longer, aside from admiring the beautiful scenery around her, there didn't seem to be anything else to do.
So next, should she consider heading to the land?
But thinking about the 86-kilometer distance made her scalp tingle. That would probably take a full real-world day!
As she was thinking, Gaia's voice rang out again.
"Warning. The Aurora's drive core has been continuously deteriorating!"
"What?" Jenny was stunned. "What does that mean?"
"The Aurora's drive core has likely reached a critical state and will explode within ten minutes." Gaia replied.
"Ah?!" Jenny jumped in fright. "Are you kidding? You're saying the Aurora is going to explode?!"
"Yes." Jenny answered very calmly.
The viewers were also shocked.
[Wow, something big is coming!]
[The Aurora is going to explode. That's a massive aircraft carrier exploding.]
[The scene is definitely going to be spectacular!]
"It won't reach me here, will it?" Jenny asked nervously.
After all, as far as she could tell, the Aurora had crashed not too far away. It was still visible to the naked eye!
"According to calculations, the explosion of the Aurora may send out a large amount of debris and cause massive waves. Please take cover immediately."
[Sigh. In that case, staying underwater would be safer, right." Jenny frowned.
[No way, Jenny! A huge scene like the Aurora exploding. You're going to miss it?!]
[Yeah, go up to the surface to watch!]
[At worst you'll just get blown up and respawn!]
[Exactly!]
Amid the viewers' urging, Jenny naturally agreed. She climbed back into the escape pod and went to the top.
Mainly because she really wanted to see it too!
In the distance, the Aurora was still burning with raging flames. The fire had not stopped since the moment Jenny crashed onto this planet.
Under silent observation, Gaia's voice sounded: "The nuclear reactor is about to reach critical levels. Countdown, 10, 9, 8, 7..."
Jenny took a deep breath, and both she and the water friends were filled with anticipation.
"3, 2, 1!"
As Gaia countdown ended, Jenny saw the distant Aurora erupt in a brilliant flash of light!!!
The light was so dazzling, it was as if a sun had risen straight from the sea level!
Boom!
The next moment, the sound of the explosion reached Jenny's ears. At the same time, the escape pod beneath her feet began to shake violently!
No, it wasn't just the escape pod. The entire sea surface was shaking, as if a magnitude 8 earthquake had struck!
The escape pod was like a small boat in a storm!
Jenny quickly crouched down and held onto the escape pod tightly.
Immediately after, she watched in horror as, amid the sky full of fire and smoke, the Aurora acted like a living volcano, spewing out massive fireballs in all directions!!! Those fireballs were large pieces of the Aurora's wreckage burning fiercely with flames!
One huge piece of debris flew straight toward her!
"Ah!!!" Jenny blood ran cold with fear. She instinctively covered her head.
Whoosh!
That massive piece of debris flew straight over Jenny's head and plunged into the sea behind her.
At that moment, she even felt the violent rush of wind from the fragment scraping past her head, howling with scorching heat!
This was not the end. Centered on the Aurora, a massive wave up to five meters high surged up and spread outward in all directions!
"Oh my god, it's so huge!!!"
Before Jenny could even finish saying the word, the wave slammed straight into her face, cutting her off.
Bang!
Jenny was smashed into the sea by the wave.
Fortunately, the wave's power wasn't too overwhelming. She quickly swam back to the surface.
In the distance, the explosion sounds gradually grew quieter, but they still continued for a full half minute. Smoke filled the sky like dark clouds before a heavy rain.
The post-explosion Aurora was shrouded in this gloomy smoke, making it temporarily impossible to see the situation clearly.
At this moment, the live stream viewers were completely and utterly awestruck.
[Oh my god, my graphics card is burning up!]
[This is way too spectacular! The one who designed this scene way too genius!]
[Just for this scene alone, I have to buy the game and experience it once.]
[Amazing. New World Studio is just too strong.]
[This can absolutely count as a classic famous game scene!]
