I chose the safe house, and the Human Alliance regretted it.

Chapter 180 Nuclear Power

A white light flashes, then the screen goes black.

The electronic screens at the six bases were completely blank, leaving only a deathly black screen.

Billions of people around the world stared at black screens, the power of the nuclear explosion still echoing in their minds.

They didn't know what happened after the explosion.

Everyone is waiting for the signal to be restored.

Kashgar Mountains, outside the nuclear blast site.

Five hundred thousand SSS-level superhumans hovered in mid-air, their superhuman shields glowing like a tidal wave.

The various colored lights of the supernatural powers intertwined, like a giant shield stretching across the heavens and earth.

These people are the elite of humanity; the aftershocks of a nuclear bomb are not enough to threaten them.

But their expressions were all more solemn than the last.

The first nuclear bomb fell.

A burst of white light erupted, as if a sun had appeared before their eyes.

Everyone's sight disappeared for a brief moment!

"boom--"

A devastating explosion resounded across the mountains a second later.

Directly below the explosion point, a hemispherical crater hundreds of meters in diameter instantly formed, with the rocks on the crater walls being crushed into powder by the high-pressure air wave.

The shockwave spread outwards along the ground, creating a white shockwave ring that swept away all the snow, rocks, and dead trees on the mountain.

"This...this is a nuclear bomb?" Gangzi swallowed hard.

The military superhuman hovered at the very front of the first echelon, its superhuman shield trembling slightly under the impact of the nuclear explosion.

The roars of the four-legged monsters abruptly ceased at the mountain stream.

But then, the red mist suddenly surged forth.

"roar--"

From the bottom of the mountain stream came an even more ferocious roar.

But then nuclear bombs rained down from the sky.

The second one, the third one, the fourth one...

Nuclear bombs fell one after another, like an apocalyptic downpour.

The trails of thousands of missiles swept overhead and plunged straight into the mountain stream.

The explosions became increasingly frequent, the craters overlapped, and the mountain collapsed.

Deep in the mountain ravine, the crimson mist was torn apart, and the roars of the beast horde were once again drowned out by the sound of a nuclear explosion.

The wails of those four-legged monsters mingled with the roar of the nuclear explosion, like a lament from hell.

Gangzi was in the third group, his entire body enveloped in a protective shield that blocked the shockwave from the nuclear explosion.

But his ears were still ringing from the shock, and flashes of white light came in bursts before his eyes.

But he stared intently ahead, at the ravine engulfed in flames.

"Uncle, do you think... they can die cleanly?" he asked loudly.

The middle-aged man hovered beside him, his supernatural shield thicker than anyone else's.

His gaze pierced through the flames, through the mushroom cloud, and landed deep underground.

"They didn't fry them clean enough. Now it's our turn to take over."

.......

"boom--"

One nuclear bomb after another.

Through precise calculations, the intervals between nuclear explosions and the roars of monstrous beasts echoed alternately.

The fiftieth stone fell, shearing away more than half of a thousand-meter cliff on the east side of the mountain stream, crashing into the giant crater below and sending up a cloud of flying rocks.

When the hundredth bomb fell, the mountain stream was already in ruins, with a huge, ever-expanding crater over two kilometers in diameter. The crater walls extended downwards in a stepped pattern, revealing charred rock layers.

...

Five hundred

.....

The thousandth one.

.....

The 2,415th.

.....

Three thousand eight hundred and thirty-eight.

.....

The density of nuclear explosions is increasing, and the frequency of explosions is decreasing.

The crimson fog below the mountain stream was growing more and more intense, but the nuclear explosion managed to suppress it completely!

The mountain stream had been blasted into a giant fire pit, with lava gushing out from the cracks and rocks melting in the air and falling like raindrops.

Half a million troops hovered at the edge of the nuclear blast's impact zone, their supernatural shields layered upon each other, keeping the heat and radiation at bay.

The forehead of the military's superhuman was soaked with sweat.

He watched as mushroom clouds rose one after another, and as the strange beasts evaporated and turned to ashes in the flames.

However, his solemn expression did not ease in the slightest, and the crimson mist in the mountain stream continued to surge back, clearly indicating that the calamity-causing beast had not been eliminated.

"How much is left?" he asked.

The person behind him stared at the equipment screen: "Three thousand two hundred more! They're arriving one after another!"

More than three thousand.

The military superhuman took a deep breath.

The nuclear bombs began to land at different points, no longer confined to the center of the mountain stream.

Some landed on the mountain ridge, flattening the entire mountaintop;

Some landed in the side canyon, blasting out a brand new rift valley;

Many people felt their protective shields slightly deforming, but no one took a step back.

Deep in the mountain ravine, the screams of the strange beast gradually subsided.

Before they could even cry out in despair, hordes of monstrous beasts that had just emerged were vaporized by the next nuclear bomb.

However, these superhumans could sense that deep within the mountain ravine, beneath the crimson mist, a large amount of violent energy was continuously being generated.

The 7,100th.

The 8,500th.

The 9,900th.

The bombing was nearing its end.

The original mountain stream is gone, replaced by a giant pit several kilometers in diameter.

The rocks on the pit walls were melted by the high temperature into dark green glass, reflecting an eerie luster in the firelight.

The red fog has long since dissipated, replaced by a sky full of smoke and radioactive dust.

Thick, black clouds pressed down overhead, and lightning flashed through them.

The last one.

Tens of millions of tons.

It has been marked as a "special target" in space—its yield is 52 megatons, ten times that of a conventional nuclear bomb.

The warhead is specially reinforced, and its outer shell is made of tungsten alloy, allowing it to penetrate hundreds of meters of rock before detonating.

The missile, trailing a long plume of flame, emerged from the clouds like a burning meteor and plunged straight into the deepest crevice of the giant crater.

Seven seconds, five seconds, three seconds...

—A muffled sound came from deep underground.

The entire mountain suddenly sank, as if it had been pressed down by a giant hand.

Numerous radial cracks appeared on the mountain below, spewing out white, high-temperature steam, red magma, and a pungent sulfurous odor.

The ground temperature rose by more than ten degrees in an instant.

Then, the mountain collapsed.

The center of the basin suddenly bulged upwards, forming a huge bulge, with the vitrified rock layers shattered and exposed to the burning underlying layers.

The bulge grew higher and higher, then exploded with a bang at its limit.

A beam of light shot out from deep underground, soaring into the sky at an altitude of 10,000 meters, tearing a huge hole in the nuclear cloud.

The aftershocks of the explosion spread in all directions, leveling the already ruined mountains once again, and the rocks instantly vaporized.

The protective shields of the 500,000-strong army flickered violently at the same time.

The first group of superhumans felt an irresistible force slam into the protective shield, pushing them all backward dozens of meters.

"Hold on!" the military superhuman shouted hoarsely.

.......

After the shockwave, there was a long, deathly silence.

The military superhuman slowly opened his eyes.

His ears were still ringing, but his vision was clear.

Ahead, the mountain stream disappeared. The crimson mist vanished.

A huge gap was blasted open in the entire mountain range.

The gap is over ten kilometers in diameter and over a kilometer deep. The walls of the pit are covered with dark green vitrified rock that reflects a ghostly light.

The ground was covered with a thick layer of grayish-white powder.

Those strange beasts, mixed with rocks, were vaporized into ashes by the nuclear bomb.

The military superhuman took a deep breath.

His protective shield stabilized again, and lightning crackled around him.

He turned around and looked at the crowd behind him.

"The nuclear bombs are all detonated." The voice clearly reached everyone's ears. "It's our turn."

At global bases, electronic screens are gradually being restored.

Satellite images revealed the horrific scene in the mountain stream—a scene resembling a living hell.

The once majestic Kashgar Mountains have disappeared in an entire section, replaced by a desolate glass basin, the bottom of which is still steaming.

A few seconds of deathly silence followed.

"The four-legged monster is gone?"

Someone asked in a trembling voice.
