Outside the city.
At the Southwest, Northwest, Southeast, Northeast, Northern, and Southern directions, each had a corresponding fighter jet zooming in location.
“Zi—-”
“Fox Squad reporting to HQ, we’re all in position”
“Repeat, we’re all in position. Over”
Another voice responded.
[Orders have been given, immediately carry out Operation ‘Witch Hunt’]
[Attention, this is not a drill, the survival of humanity lies in your hands, immediately carry out Operation ‘Witch Hunt’]
[Zi—-]
“Copy that, engaging in combat”
“Preparing to fire in 5 seconds”
“5”
“4”
“3”
“2”
“1”
“Fire”
“——–may God be on our side; may our descendants forgive our acts today”
Six tactical nukes drew white streaks in the sky as they shot towards the city from different directions.
…
At the same time.
In the city.
Inside the large crater that Gu Qing Shan created.
“Colonel Zhang, thank you” Li Da Jun said.
He had been carried up to a sketcher and currently being treated.
“No need to thank me” Colonel Zhang replied: “If General Ru Xi remained here, all of us would die, I merely did it for my own survival”
The two of them looked at the military men and civilians around themselves.
Li Da Jun sighed and said: “Not even a nuclear bomb managed to kill her, I wonder what other solutions have the alliance’s big brass came up with to eliminate her”
Colonel Zhang replied: “That’s not for us to worry about, we need only stay here and wait for further reinforcements”
Hearing that, Li Da Jun appeared glad.
Indeed, regardless of what happened, I survived.
…
At the same time.
In the city.
The four who were walking through the streets abruptly stopped.
Ye Fei Li shouted with a panicked expression: “From all around the city, six nuclear warheads are heading towards us!”
Immediately.
Gu Qing Shan muttered in his mind: “War God UI, kick the [Order] out”
[Understood]
The voice of [Order] vanished.
At the moment, there weren’t any other [Orders] here, nor were there any people, so Gu Qing Shan was confident that no one would be able to track them.
Wind.
The wind was resonating from afar.
Some sound faintly reverberated throughout the air.
The sound gradually grew louder, eventually sounding like something was ripping through the air as it flew.
Zhang Ying Hao instinctively raised his gun, but helplessly put it back down.
There were 6 nuclear bombs.
With his current suppressed strength, he wouldn’t be able to hit all of them.
Even if he did, it would still be useless because of how close the nuclear warheads were to the city. If they were prematurely detonated in the air right now, the resulting explosion would be enough to cause a chain reaction that destroys the entire city.
No one would be able to survive such destruction.
Zhang Ying Hao’s gaze swept through all the surrounding structures, then suddenly shouted.
“Quick, there’s a library over there!” he shouted.
Everyone followed where he was pointing.
Only to see a large building with its doors wide open.
A library!
Compared to other structures, libraries are built to have greater stability and sturdiness; partly because they need to store a large number of books, precious old books, as well as serving thousands of readers at once.
Gu Qing Shan immediately said: “Go, let’s hope there’s a basement!”
The four of them hurriedly ran.
By the time they reached the entrance of the library, the world outside had abruptly changed.
The night faded away.
The entire world became pure white.
Intense light drowned the entire city, down to the very last nook and cranny.
Gu Qing Shan and Zhang Ying Hao closed the door right as they entered.
The light was blocked out.
“Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!” Ye Fei Li urged them.
Ye Ru Xi had already rushed inside before anyone else to find a suitable place to hide.
“I remember, this library doesn’t have an underground basement!” Ye Ru Xi loudly shouted.
At the very next second.
The entire roof of the library was blown off.
The joint explosion of 6 tactical nukes caused indescribably huge shockwaves.
If one could observe from above, they would find that the entire city was quickly being erased from the map.
Even though the library was built to be sturdy, it couldn’t possibly survive such explosive force.
“So in the end, I would still have to die in this city”
Ye Ru Xi sorrowfully chuckled.
Intense light descended from above.
Followed by intense heat.
——–heat that had reached an incredible 100 million degrees C, instantly vaporizing all liquid and subliming all solids into gas.
All living beings melted away.
The air then became ionized and turned into plasma, emanating an endless amount of electromagnetic force, shooting from and towards the horizon like streaks of scattered blue light.
Being struck by 6 nuclear bombs at once, all hope of survival for every living being in the city was mercilessly erased.
Even the civilians and military men hiding inside the crater had been vaporized by the intense heat and vanished, not a single thing of them remained.
Devastated, destroyed, eradicated.
The resounding explosion completely overwhelmed every other sound and spread through the clouds of fallout.
The world fell into chaos.
Time slowly passed.
Until finally.
Everything gradually settled down.
But this was only an illusion, as the gigantic cluster of black clouds in the sky would slowly drift towards the ground, enveloping everything below, and turning this entire area into no man’s land.
Not even ruins would remain of this place.
——-including the library where Gu Qing Shan’s group had hidden, not a single structure remained in this city.
The ground had dried completely from the heat, dead land stretched for hundreds of miles.
Not a single living being remained.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
The four-armed twin-headed demon ape and other powerful apocalyptic monsters began to show up.
They were rapidly wandering the scorched land in search of their target.
「 In this situation, that seed of [Chaos] surely could not have survived 」the demon ape judged.
Behind it, a pack of wolves whose bodies were engulfed in flames stepped forward.
「 Indeed 」the alpha wolf replied, 「 Even with my heightened sensitivity to flesh and blood, I do not discover any living beings 」
The demon ape stated: 「 I do not understand why humans would act so cruelly to their own race——– but this is what we want to happen 」
The alpha wolf pondered: 「 Those humans who carry [Order] are most likely also interested in the results of this strike, but they wouldn’t be able to enter as deep as we can, it will most likely take a very long time 」
「 And such, this is the perfect chance for us to begin a new round of destruction 」the demon ape followed up.
It turned around and brought its subordinates outside the city.
Other apocalyptic monsters were still searching the area, but even without thinking about it, the search soon reached a conclusion.
——there were no longer any humans here.
This was the opportunity.
While the humans are still paying attention to this destroyed city, we apocalyptic monsters will converge towards other cities, begin our attack anew, and continue the Apocalypse.
Paradoxical creatures like humans are naturally rejected by the natural Laws themselves, they deserve to go extinct.
After the four-armed twin-headed demon ape left.
The alpha wolf also led its pack away.
More and more apocalyptic monsters were leaving the city as time passed.
They were calling out to their comrades and proceeded towards other cities.
…
Inside the great river at the border of the city.
Although it was relatively distant from the inner city, the flow and shape of this thousand-meter-long river had also been altered by the nuclear explosion.
The river gradually settled down.
——–the aquatic monsters who had sealed off the water were also heading towards other cities following the flow of the river.
On top of the river, countless dead aquatic animals were flowing along the water surface with the apocalyptic monsters, helping them mask their movements.
The river was still.
There was only a little bit of movement underneath the murky riverbed.
A several-hundred-meter-long giant snake was hiding motionlessly under the sand and mud.
It was an apocalyptic monster.
It was the snake king.
