Chapter 545: Is he dead?
But no one in the command center could laugh.
The technician broke out in a cold sweat as he watched the radiation levels on the screen frantically alarming.
"Sir, although the nuclear explosion stopped the monsters, a third of the underground city's living quarters have become highly radioactive wastelands..."
"This area will be uninhabitable for the next few hundred years!"
Jessbone grabbed the technician by the collar and spat in his face.
"The future? Look at that damn thing outside, do we even have a future?!"
"Whether we'll even survive tonight is another matter!"
Before the words were even finished, the entire underground city of the Washington suddenly experienced a violent shaking, like a magnitude 10 earthquake.
"boom--!!!"
With a deafening roar, the tens of meters thick reinforced concrete load-bearing wall at the top of the underground city collapsed on a large scale, like a fragile biscuit.
Amidst the billowing dust, a terrifying demon god, over a hundred meters tall, slowly squeezed into the interior of the Washington.
The eighth-tier demon god, Kog'Gath, finally entered the city through a tunnel created by several earth-burrowing dragons!
Its head, resembling the gaping maw of an abyss, pierced right through the dome; a single stomp could reduce a building to ruins.
The soldiers throughout the city looked up, their eyes almost popping out, completely unaware that their guns had fallen to the ground.
They finally understood what that invisible pressure that had been weighing on their hearts was all about!
These world-destroying monsters, which only existed in mythology, were now truly standing before them.
In the command center, Jie Shibang's legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
Then the fear in his eyes slowly transformed into extreme madness.
"Bomb it! Use a nuclear bomb to kill it!!"
Upon receiving the order, the soldiers on the front lines struggled against the pressure and, in a desperate attempt, detonated the miniature nuclear bomb that had been lying in ambush at Kogas's feet.
"boom!!!"
Flames shot into the sky!
But when the flames exploded, everyone was completely dumbfounded.
A dark purple energy shield covers the surface of Cho'Gath's massive body.
The nuclear bomb struck the shield without even causing a ripple.
Kogas grinned cruelly, as if mocking the weakness of human firepower.
"It's useless...even nuclear bombs are useless..." Thompson completely broke down, covering his face and crying bitterly.
"Shut up!" Jesse Bang's eyes were bloodshot, like a mad dog driven to the brink of despair.
"Miniature nuclear weapons are useless, so let's bring over high-yield nuclear warheads!"
"Bring out all of the approximately 100,000 tons!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the command center thought they had misheard and looked at Jie Shibang in disbelief.
"Sir! This is absolutely unacceptable!"
"A 100,000-ton nuclear bomb detonated in such a confined space would kill a large number of civilians in the city due to the shockwave and nuclear radiation!"
"Oh my god! We can get infected too!"
Jesse Bronze abruptly raised his pistol and aimed it at the ceiling.
"Bang bang bang!!!"
He fired three shots, stunning everyone.
His facial muscles contorted in a ferocious grimace, and he roared with his mouth agape.
"Shut up! If we don't deal with that monster, we're all dead!"
"There's no future!!"
The order was ultimately issued by force.
Ten minutes later, an armored vehicle carrying a 100-ton nuclear warhead stopped on the main road that Kogas had to pass through.
Kogas's massive body was crushing buildings along its path, creating a deafening roar that shook the ground.
It slowly approached with a suffocating sense of oppression.
One hundred meters.
Fifty meters.
Ten meters!
The suicide soldier inside the armored vehicle had his left hand and left leg bitten off by the demons in a previous battle, leaving him with only his right hand and right leg.
His eyes were fixed on the terrifying monster that was gradually filling his field of vision, his eyes cracking from bloodshot eyes and the effects of stimulants.
He grinned, revealing bloodshot teeth, and roared:
"Go to hell! You son of a bitch, you monster!"
Then, he pressed the red detonation button in his hand hard.
The 100-kiloton nuclear warhead detonated less than ten meters from Kogas.
In an instant, a miniature sun was born on the main road of the Washington Underground City.
A terrifying white light engulfed everything at the speed of light.
Within a 200-meter radius of the nuclear explosion's epicenter: concrete, steel bars, building debris, demon corpses, and human corpses...
All matter vaporizes directly at a temperature of millions of degrees, leaving not even ash.
The shockwave followed immediately, and the wall of death, faster than sound, spread outward at supersonic speed.
The buildings along the way were like blocks being pushed over by an invisible giant hand, collapsing, shattering, and scattering in rows.
Kog'Maw's massive figure was completely engulfed by the blinding fireball.
The powerful electromagnetic pulse generated by the nuclear explosion exploded within the underground city with unstoppable force.
All surveillance footage simultaneously turned into static.
All communication channels fell silent at the same time.
All electronic equipment within a one-kilometer radius of the nuclear explosion center was rendered useless.
......
USS Washington command center.
By the time the shockwave from the nuclear explosion reached this location, it had weakened considerably, but the entire command center still felt as if it had been kicked hard by a giant.
The documents and coffee cup on the table slipped and fell to the floor.
Jessbong clung tightly to the edge of the control panel to avoid falling, and immediately looked up at the big screen.
The screen is filled with snowflakes.
"Where's the footage?! Restore the footage of the nuclear blast zone!"
The technician frantically typed on the keyboard, beads of sweat pattering onto the keys.
"Sir, all the cameras in the nuclear blast area are destroyed!"
"The electromagnetic pulse burned out all the surrounding electronic equipment!"
"Check the surrounding surveillance footage! The ones from further away!"
The technicians frantically switched between feeds and finally found a camera that was still operational about 1.3 kilometers from the epicenter of the nuclear explosion.
However, the image was very blurry, the lens was cracked from being hit by the shock wave, and there was dust.
Only a huge column of smoke and dust could be vaguely seen churning in the distance.
Thick black smoke mixed with grayish-white dust, resembling an inverted mushroom, atop the dome of the underground city.
I can't see anything clearly.
Kogas was nowhere to be seen, nor was there any indication of what was happening at the center of the nuclear explosion.
"Can you confirm that the monster has been killed?"
When Jessbong asked that question, his voice trembled slightly.
It's not fear, it's anticipation.
After making a desperate bet, everyone is eager to hear the answer.
The technician shook his head.
"I can't see it, sir."
"The smoke and dust are too thick, and the electromagnetic pulse is still interfering with the remote sensing equipment... We can only send someone to the front line to confirm visually."
Jessbone gritted his teeth and said:
"Send someone there! Immediately!"
After receiving the order, Thompson used the internal phone to call the Ninth Duty Station, which was closest to the nuclear blast zone.
The phone rang seven times before it was answered.
The voice on the other end was clearly trembling.
"This is the ninth duty station..."
"Listen carefully, send two people to the nuclear blast area to confirm whether the target has been destroyed. Execute immediately."
There was a moment of silence on the other end.
"……receive."
