Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Nuclear Strike Opener!
The Old Thirteen Special Forces, being at the forefront of the war, clearly felt the terror of the enemy.
The massive wave of plants stood hundreds of meters tall!
It even blotted out the sun and the sky, carrying a momentum that threatened to engulf the entire world.
Even the most elite warrior could not help but doubt at this moment.
Is this really an enemy that can be defeated? And not an unbeatable heavenly calamity?
Even though the entire Old Thirteen Special Forces had already switched to equipment from the Interstellar World, donned in fully armed power armor, and even though one could easily annihilate an entire team of the past, at this moment, there was only one choice.
"Evacuate, all evacuate!" The captain screamed the superior’s orders, urging his teammates to rush quickly toward the transport aircraft that had already taken off.
Anyone left behind, swallowed by this gigantic wave, would only have one outcome.
The power armor granted them incredible agility, enabling them to leap seven to eight meters high easily, but at this moment, it could only be used for escape.
At this moment, satellites worldwide were focused here.
The large screen in the global Meteorite Crisis management department’s military command post showed the same shock among gathered generals from various countries.
This scene was far more terrifying than the Turtle Shell Prophecy.
That prophetic image was only the tip of the iceberg.
"There’s no need to hesitate, initiate the first plan directly!" The one responsible for this war was a general from Eastern Country named Gu Hucheng, in his fifties.
He didn’t hesitate and directly launched Humanity’s ultimate weapon!
——Nuclear explosion.
Although it was unexpected that the enemy would erupt at this moment, there was some preparation.
Dozens of aircraft carrying nuclear weapons had long been patrolling in shifts 24 hours a day in the sky, aiming to complete a comprehensive bombardment in the shortest time.
This moment was also the best time for bombing.
A few seconds after the command was issued, the aircraft pilots who received the orders dropped the bombs without hesitation and then crazily ascended to escape.
"Initiating nuclear bombings feels like dreaming," a pilot murmured.
He had pondered the possibility of a full-scale war erupting someday, even thought about the possibility of nuclear warfare, but never imagined that this kind of weapon would be used right at the start of a war.
No communication, not even any probing engagements.
Right at the start, the goal was to utterly destroy the enemy!
And this was not all there was to the action.
In the nearby lines of defense, soldiers receiving the highest level mobilization orders quickly assembled, ready for battle under command.
They sensed the advent of war but were not overly tense.
They had already been prepared.
Until the suddenly erupting light in the distance reflected in their eyes.
Then the second, third, fourth...
The never-ending massive fire illuminated almost the entire sky, and even cities hundreds of kilometers away could see clearly!
It also illuminated the faces of each warrior, revealing their astonishment and shock.
"It’s started!"
More and more voices rapidly appeared online.
Global attention quickly drew in.
Especially in Eastern Country.
In the past few days, Eastern Country’s undisguised conscription and such significant mobilization on this scale couldn’t be hidden at all.
Countless people captured the endless military vehicles, including tanks and a large number of warplanes flying overhead.
They even engaged in heated discussions about this formation.
However, people still did not expect, that at the start, it would indeed be a nuclear explosion!
"It’s really started!"
"Oh my god, what is the enemy?"
"Did I see it wrong, how many were dropped?"
"More than twenty!"
"Scary! Has everyone in the province been evacuated?"
"Evacuations started only four days ago, dreaming, not even half are evacuated!"
"What should I do, I haven’t left yet! I’m freaking out."
"I’m freaking out too, I’m in the neighboring province."
"..."
Clearly, this sudden outbreak brought panic to the ordinary people of Eastern Country far exceeding any previous time.
This is different from past threats like ocular insects, zombies, and worms. It is a crisis directly happening in Eastern Country, and just this beginning seems extremely intense.
More than twenty nuclear weapons! Simultaneously exploded.
Evenly covered the entire forest!
This ancient forest, which had existed on Eastern land for countless years, was flattened by war in this instant.
Even in human civilization’s brutal history of warfare, such a situation has never occurred.
Moreover, this is just the beginning!
At this moment, Shen Yu had also received an emergency transmission, hurriedly ending his cultivation and returning from the Martial Arts World.
He went straight to the command center.
As soon as he arrived, he saw the scene of mushroom clouds exploding on the ground on the large screen.
However, he was not too surprised, for this was a predetermined plan.
If they did not seize the opportunity to bombard while the plants were gathered, it would be too wasteful.
"How’s the situation? Is it effective?" Shen Yu directly asked.
There were as many nukes as there were, ever since discovering the Meteorite Crisis three months ago, all nations were crazily producing them.
But the key is whether they work.
"We don’t know yet. The high temperature and energy have momentarily disrupted the detection," someone answered Shen Yu’s question.
"Was there any sign before the outbreak?" Shen Yu asked again.
"No." This time the general commander, Gu Hucheng, personally answered, looking extremely solemn, "But this discrepancy with the prophecy indicates these plants are not true ’plants.’ Unlike ocular insects or zombie bacteria, they don’t have single-behavior logic but possess a more complex biological consciousness. Moreover, judging from the coordinated action of the entire forest, it’s highly possible the enemy has a unified command ideology within."
If they previously camouflaged, sleeping, and hiding the moment they left, much intelligence was hard to analyze.
But now, just with some action, many things could already be discerned.
However, what the weakness is, how to resolve it efficiently, whether the current attack is effective, and whether the built-up defense can successfully block this terrifying army of plants...
These remain unknown.
Unknowns mean fear.
Shen Yu stayed silent at this moment too.
The previous two types of monsters were resolved only with allies’ help.
But this time, the other two allies had not achieved any effective results yet.
Without using the Gray Mist, Shen Yu couldn’t do anything.
But using the Gray Mist requires more information and direction.
Relying entirely on the Gray Mist would cause massive waste.
It might even be inadequate.
In other words, at this moment, human civilization can only rely on itself!
