Chapter 520 Mars is in despair, where can he retreat to?
Boom!!!
The entire underground city of the Freedom was shaking violently, as if a super earthquake had occurred.
The lights inside the command center were flashing violently.
On the large screen, after a blinding white light burst out, the surveillance cameras within a five-kilometer radius of the epicenter immediately filled the screen with static, and then went completely black.
A nuclear bomb with a yield of 100 kilotons was detonated in an extremely enclosed underground space.
The terrifying EMP and nuclear radiation instantly destroyed all electronic devices.
The shockwave bounced wildly between the solid rock walls, its power at least three times greater than if it had been detonated on the ground.
The three residential areas near the epicenter were flattened in a fraction of a second.
Hundreds of thousands of civilians turned into ashes under the intense heat without even feeling the pain.
The command center was deathly silent, except for the sound of dust falling from above.
"Report the extent of the damage..." Mars's voice was hoarse.
"The destructive power of a nuclear bomb in a confined space exceeded expectations." The technician swallowed hard, watching the radiation levels skyrocket.
"All life within a five-kilometer radius of the epicenter will be completely destroyed, buildings will be completely destroyed, and nuclear radiation levels will exceed safe limits."
"Since all the surveillance cameras were destroyed, we can't see anything now."
"Where is that monster?" the chief of staff asked urgently.
"Sir, that's a direct hit from a 100,000-ton nuclear weapon!"
"Forget carbon-based life forms, even a solid titanium alloy mountain would melt into molten iron by now!"
Upon hearing this, the tense atmosphere in the command center finally eased slightly.
Several young officers slumped in their chairs, panting heavily.
As long as we can take down that 100-meter-tall super monster, it's worth sacrificing hundreds of thousands of people.
"Contact the unaffected defense zones immediately!" A hint of relief at surviving the ordeal flashed in Mars' eyes.
"The biggest one was killed in the explosion. Let them organize their remaining forces to establish a firebreak!"
"Block all the small monsters outside the defensive line!"
"yes!"
The command center resumed operation, and everyone frantically issued orders as if grasping at a straw.
Half an hour passed.
As the defensive line contracted, the soldiers also developed the correct countermeasures, and the pace of the low-level monsters' attacks slowed slightly, allowing the humans to barely maintain their footing.
Mars gulped down a large glass of ice water, and his chapped lips finally regained some color.
"Sir, it seems we won the bet."
"Just leave the remaining nuclear warheads at the intersection as a deterrent..."
The chief of staff hadn't finished speaking.
suddenly!
"Alert! A large monster has been detected by the surveillance cameras in Zone C!" the technician watching the backup monitor screamed.
"What?" Mars was startled, suddenly having a bad feeling.
He shoved the chief of staff aside and rushed to the front of the stage:
"Switch screen!"
Area C was a full ten kilometers from the epicenter, and the surveillance cameras barely survived because of the thick lead plates blocking the view.
zizi——
The image flickered and then became clear.
On the screen is a super-strong explosion-proof load-bearing wall that is thirty meters thick.
Boom!!!
This wall, which was supposed to be able to withstand the aftershocks of a nuclear explosion, was suddenly smashed to pieces like a crispy biscuit!
Amidst the smoke and deadly radioactive dust, a massive, despair-inducing black silhouette slowly emerged.
A hundred-meter-tall demonic body! Like a moving black mountain range!
It was none other than the eighth-tier demon god, Kog'Gath!
Not only did it not die, it didn't even falter in its steps.
The camera zooms in.
On Kogas's bony armor covered with barbs, there were only a few white marks from being scorched by the high temperature.
It human-like twisted its huge neck and casually brushed off the radioactive dust on its shoulder.
In those scarlet vertical pupils, only impatience at being disturbed remained.
He just took a nuclear fireball to the chest, and there's not even a scratch.
Seeing this, the nascent hope in the command center was completely extinguished.
A silence.
"What the hell is this monster...?"
The chief of staff's legs buckled, and he knelt down, his eyes completely glazed over.
Mars' lips trembled violently, and he stumbled back three steps, slamming heavily against the control panel.
"Impossible... This is absolutely impossible!"
A nuclear bomb with a yield of 100,000 tons!
The power is doubled in a fully enclosed space!
This thing actually emerged from the ruins in just half an hour!
Mars finally realized a fact that he could not accept.
In the face of this monster, human physics simply doesn't exist!
What Earth is so proud of as its most powerful weapon is probably just a giant firework in their eyes!
What's the point of fighting? Are we even going to fight with our heads?!
"Sir..." the technician said, his voice trembling with tears.
"It's heading towards the last densely populated area, what should we do...?"
Mars suddenly looked up, his eyes lifeless, but his muscles twitching wildly.
At the end of despair lies pure destructive desire.
"Nuclear bombs are useless against large targets, but they work on small ones! They can buy time!"
Like a mad wolf cornered, he ripped open his collar and roared:
"Detonate! Detonate all the remaining nuclear bombs!"
"Second defense zone breached, detonate nuclear bomb number two!"
Boom! The underground city trembled violently!
"Sector Six has been breached, detonate Unit Three!"
boom!!
"District 9 Industrial Park, detonated!"
boom!!!
Mars went completely mad, gripping the detonator and pressing it whenever there were a dense cluster of red dots in an area.
Nuclear explosions occurred one after another inside the Freedom's abdominal cavity.
Each explosion claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people.
Under nuclear annihilation, humans and monsters are equal.
The lights in the command center shattered, terrifying cracks appeared in the walls, and groundwater mixed with mud gushed out.
After the seventh nuclear bomb was detonated, the backup cable was completely severed, and the monitoring system went completely black.
The Freedom was completely transformed into a radiation-ravaged hell.
"Sir!" A special operations platoon leader, his face covered in blood, kicked open the door and rushed in. His left hand had been torn off at the root.
"The outer defenses have completely collapsed!"
"Those monsters are less than 900 meters away as the crow flies! If we don't leave now, it'll be too late!"
Retreat? Where to retreat to?
The underground city has become a sealed coffin.
At this moment, Mars harbored immense resentment towards Great Xia. If Great Xia hadn't launched a nuclear war and repeatedly destroyed the tunnels connecting the Eagle Nation's Freedom to the surface from its underground city, they wouldn't be trapped with nowhere to escape now!
All of this was caused by the Great Xia; they are the real culprits!
His eyes suddenly lit up when he thought of the tunnel.
Yes, tunnels, they have another tunnel that's about to be completed!
Mars suddenly jumped up, grabbed the secretary's hand, and his eyes blazed with a desperate will to survive.
"We also have a fifth tunnel under construction!"
"That tunnel avoids the orbit of Daxia's satellites, and it's only one hundred meters away from reaching the surface!"
He turned and roared at the dozens of surviving high-ranking officers:
"Contact the construction team! No matter if it's rock or steel plate, get them through to the ground within half an hour!"
"Gather everyone who can still move and evacuate immediately to the entrance of the fifth tunnel!"
"Every intersection along the way was blown up!"
As for the civilians who were still alive in the surrounding area, they couldn't care less about that anymore.
