Chapter 164: Chapters 162, 163 – The Fear of Being Dominated (Additional Chapters 5 & 6 for Emperor Zixuan)_2 Chapter 164: Chapters 162, 163 – The Fear of Being Dominated (Additional Chapters 5 & 6 for Emperor Zixuan)_2 *Who would have thought,* “mere” mutant creatures could push them to this point!
In Bai ying’s office, witnessing this scene, the high command was all terrified.
“They actually managed to damage our ships!”
“The fleet was being surrounded and destroyed!”
“Some ships have already been damaged! Are we going to lose a fleet here?”
“It’s terrifying! The Zerg can indeed stand against humans!”
Elsewhere, those who saw this scene could not sit still.
“The Zerg have actually surrounded them!”
“If it were us, we’d have been annihilated already!”
“The highest crisis, the Zerg are the highest crisis! We must immediately escalate the crisis level for the Zerg!”
“In this situation, without nuclear weapons, escape seems impossible!”
Harvey forced himself to calm down, the more critical the situation, the calmer one must be.
He gritted his teeth and urgently contacted the office, shouting, “This is Captain Harvey, we have been surrounded by the Zerg and are facing the danger of annihilation!”
“I request, fire the nuclear weapons!”
When Harvey made this request, everyone in the office knew the situation had reached its most critical point.
Nuclear weapons were the most destructive weapons ever made by humans! Most of the time, they were just used for deterrence!
Scientists had said that once a nuclear war broke out, humanity would face doomsday.
And now, the Zerg had pushed them to the point where they had to use such a destructive weapon!
Bai ying only pondered for three seconds before saying, “Permission to fire!”
Facing the Zerg, there was no need to overthink. Losing these ships and soldiers would be an unbearable cost for them!
“Hear the order, fire the nuclear weapons! Blast these monsters to death!” Harvey shouted.
“Prepare to fire!” On the launch platform, a nuclear missile was launched.
This most powerful weapon in human history finally confronted the deep-sea Zerg of the Mariana Trench!
“Finally fired!” Beck and others were full of anticipation.
In the past world, they had conducted experiments. A nuclear explosion in the ocean had directly sunk two battleships, an aircraft carrier, and a heavy cruiser!
At that time, it was an atomic bomb, a fission bomb. But now, with the hydrogen bomb from nuclear fusion reactors in large-scale use, its power had become even more terrifying!
The first warhead landed ahead in the sea of bugs!
At that moment, nuclear energy was released from the atoms, the temperature instantly soared to 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit! Then, within two to three seconds, it dropped to about 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
Everything within a kilometer in diameter of the explosion, seawater and Zerg alike, was instantly vaporized!
The high temperature heated all the seawater within a few kilometers to boiling, and the shockwave lifted up colossal waves of several meters high; a tsunami was artificially created at that moment!
A mushroom cloud rose on the sea surface!
And the nuclear radiation it generated continued to spread rapidly!
Everyone hid inside the ships, watching this scene of destruction.
This nuclear missile cleared a path through the sea of bugs surrounding them!
“This time, we can finally escape, right?” Beck and others thought.
They believed that after the explosion, the gap should cause the bugs to avoid it quickly, as the seawater temperature there was extremely high.
But they guessed wrong; not only did the bugs not avoid it, they crazily rushed in, even though some mutant creatures were immediately roasted!
It was as if they had been injected with a stimulant, becoming even more frenzied.
“Blast them, launch a few more, blow them all to pieces!” With the first time, there was a second and third.
Harvey could no longer be concerned about much else, safe evacuation was the truth!
More warheads were launched, the entire sea area being stained red with blood, the blast shockwave and tsunami capsized or sank all the research ships.
“Prepare to break through!” Harvey ordered, “Use full power, charge out!”
“They actually detonated a nuclear weapon!” Those watching through satellites were all astonished.
“To deal with these mutant creatures, nuclear weapons had to be used!”
“What mutant creatures, it’s the Zerg, alien beings!” Some people had already changed their stance.
“It’s terrifying! Luckily, we didn’t go to the Mariana Trench, otherwise, it would have been us facing disaster now!”
“The power of nuclear weapons is still strong, it opened up the encirclement immediately!”
“But it’s not over yet!”
In a short while, the fleet had already lost five ships.
The remaining twelve ships began to break through the gap together.
Leading the way was a heavy cruiser, the strongest fighting ship in the entire fleet other than the mothership.
*Harvey and the others’ nerves remained tense; as long as they hadn’t escaped from this sea of bugs, they couldn’t relax for a moment.*
At this moment, due to the explosion’s force, the surrounding ocean was churning with towering waves, the gale howling.
Underwater detection had also been affected.
He Xingzhou and the others watched the underwater footage, which flickered intermittently, but fortunately, they had deployed enough detectors to get some information reluctantly.
Suddenly, Xuanwu made a sound, reminding them, “Giant unknown creature detected, moving at high speed.”
“What is it?” Everyone was shocked; Xuanwu enlarged the footage from the detectors, and all the Xuanwu Executive Officers widened their eyes.
They saw a superbeast rapidly surfacing from the deep sea.
It had a long tail resembling a whale’s, a massive abdomen, and its size was comparable to a strategic nuclear submarine! Strangely, its upper body didn’t sprout fins, but instead, two giant claws.
According to sonar mapping data from the detectors, it showed a body length close to three hundred meters, with just one claw measuring one hundred fifty meters long!
