Chapter 1470: Descending From Above
Although there was a curfew in Coro City, the curfew did not exist on the Internet. The first moment when the nuclear missile detonated, some people who were not afraid of death even put their hand out of the window and live-streamed the explosion with their phone.
“That is… a nuclear explosion?”
“It has to be a drill right…”
“This is fake, I’m gone.”
“I think it might be a holographic projection. Isn’t that what Future Technology is best at? Maybe they have intercepted the nuclear missiles on the high seas long ago…”
“I like the holographic projection theory… the streamer can go to sleep now.”
Like other residents of Coro City who had survived the disaster, the streamer who was live-streaming the sky above him was completely shocked. He had forgotten about the countless comments and gifts, and also forgot what he was doing at this moment.
Until yesterday, he was still weeping and crying over the fact that he couldn’t buy a plane ticket. Since he thought he was dead anyway, with the thought of becoming the first person to live-stream a nuclear explosion, he opened the live stream app, but he didn’t expect to actually live…
In any case, he was destined not to be the first person that live-streamed a nuclear explosion. When the nuclear explosion happened, he was not the only person that pointed their phone at the sky, there was also another Youtube streamer that did the same thing.
All kinds of pictures and videos about the nuclear explosion in Coro City had rapidly gone viral on the Internet. People clicked on them with suspicion; some had reposted them; some people scorned them. But regardless of what people thought, the dazzling cinematic effects alone made most people repost…
Ironically, in these short five minutes, the Rainbow House spokesperson who held the press conference and the media reporters that were at the press conference became the last to learn of the news…
Even if they knew, most of them wouldn’t believe it.
“All twelve Tridents have hit the target. Sh*t, this is too crazy…” Mike Pence’s shoulders were trembling with tension as he walked along the hallway of the Rainbow House, “This is crazy!”
There were two reasons why he felt tension.
One was excitement, the other was still excitement.
One Trident missile was loaded with eight 100,000-ton W-76 nuclear warheads (maximum 14). Originally, in their plan, they would be thankful if two or three nuclear warheads could successfully hit the mainland of Xin. No one expected that all twelve Trident missiles to hit the target. The 96 nuclear warheads were enough to blow up the industrial facilities of Celestial Trade into complete residues…
It was foreseeable that Xin had turned into purgatory on Earth. Perhaps human rights organizations, environmental protection organizations, and other UN member states or even their allies would condemn him and cause issues. He would get headaches over this for the next four years in the office, or he could even face impeachment from the left.
But he was not afraid!
As his military adviser said, the UA would become the most powerful country in the world by absorbing the technology of Celestial Trade, and as a gambler who brought the country to victory in this war, he was well-deserved to be named as the greatest President in this century. He turned the tide and pressed the nuclear button that tore up the paper tiger known as Celestial Trade…
His assistant trotted after Mike Pence and after he caught up, he reported.
“Mr. President, John Corning is looking for you. He is in your office now.”
“Let him wait for me there. I need to go to Congress to solve the problem of refugee resettlement in the Xin War now,” Mike Pence said, “There is nothing more important than this. We must let those who are eager to move to keep cool.”
“But he seems to be worried…” the assistant hesitated.
Mike Pence stopped, stared at his assistant, and said unmovingly.
“I said, let him wait.”
The assistant looked at the President in a daze, then nodded after a long time.
“Okay, okay…”
“Then go now.”
After he got rid of the assistant, Mike Pence straightened his collar and continued to head out.
Okay, he admitted that he had gloated.
But he thought it was necessary.
As the leader that would lead this country back to the pinnacle of hegemony, he had to let the FBA director who was promoted by the former president and the Wall Street capitalists understand who ran the show here.
It was a necessary show of force against Wall Street.
Otherwise, if he allowed them to continue to point fingers at him, it would be difficult to carry out his work in the future as the President.
Mike Pence continued to walk forward. As he walked, he thought about if he should find an opportunity to replace John Corning from the position of FBA director. He could not sleep well at night if he allowed a chess piece to be in a position of such importance. He could potentially try to draw the CIB closer, and then the deputy director of the FBA…
At this moment, the entire Rainbow House shook violently, and the chandelier in the dome swung wildly from side to side.
If it weren’t for the female intern of the mailroom that stepped forward in a hurry to help him, he would have fallen.
“Thank you…damn it, is it an earthquake?” Mike Pence stood up awkwardly and glanced out the window in anger.
However, as soon as he looked outside, his eyes were quickly glued to the window, and he froze in place.
“What is that?”
…
BEEP!
The highway was congested to a standstill, and the car horns beeped one after another.
People who thought there was an earthquake fled from the building to the street in a panic, which seriously congested the traffic in the Capital.
After he pushed open the car door, a man in a suit and tie stepped out of the car into the standstill traffic and with his right hand holding the car door, he looked into the sky with a frown.
“What is that…”
Not far away, a big hole broke through the clouds.
It seemed like the cloud was being penetrated by something!
Vaguely, he recalled that at the moment of the earthquake, he seemed to see a flash of light.
And now, a heavy gust of wind that carried an immense amount of dust blew by and swept in from the street directly in front of him.
Like everyone else on the street, the man subconsciously raised his arms, covered his eyes and nose, and hid behind the car door.
When he put down his raised arm, haggard by the gust of wind, he looked back into the air again, he was petrified.
One word was made out from his trembling lips.
“Sh*t…”
HUUUUUU!
Along with the coarse roar, rows of burning dragons seemed to burn and tear the entire sky apart. From the distance, the lava falling down seemed like an oil painting in a frame, like the doomsday scroll depicted in the book of Revelation – “The horseshoes of the four horsemen of the apocalypse trample on, earthquake, disaster and plague come into the world, the angel blew the trumpet and dropped down the burning blood and lotus…”
Finally, someone screamed.
“STOP IT!”
Before everything ended, it was naturally impossible to stop.
A series of meteors that pierced the sky fell to the ground, followed by loud bangs that shook the earth. The hit building collapsed with cement and steel bars exposed, the trampled car was turned into scrap metals, the streetlamp was snapped in half, and the flat highway was filled with cobweb-like cracks.
Vehicles were overturned, and amidst the billowing dust, what stood up were the power armors that radiated a dark blue arc behind its back. The thick steel arm and the black hole muzzle exuded a chill, deadly vibe. Behind them, there were many airdrop cabins, staggered apart.
The door of the airdrop cabins opened, and fighters in kinetic skeletons ran out with rifles in their hands, then they gathered in formation. Next to them, a group of drones swarmed out of the drone hive and assembled in the air into a dense attack formation.
The preparations for war were ready.
They were only waiting for one command.
The power armor in the front stepped forward and fired a warning shot into the air.
As he looked at the crowd screaming and fleeing, he raised his arm and fired a flare for assemble.
“This is Beast-1, the coordinates are on the south bank of the Arlington Memorial Bridge. We have successfully landed…”
