Chapter 62, Global Nuclear War
North America, Eastern Seaboard of the United States, over the District of Columbia
The President of the United States’ special plane, Air Force One, was roaring by in the night.
In the past, it might have represented supreme power and majesty, but at this moment, it was just a lifeboat for escape.
Because, behind the plane in downtown Washington, the famous White House, Capitol Hill and the Lincoln Memorial have all been engulfed in flames.
In just three days, the entire America was in chaos. All the government's emergency plans had failed. The original social order collapsed instantly. Senior government officials and big capitalists were reduced to skeletons, plunging the entire society into unprecedented fear. and in turmoil.
What's even worse is that even at this time, the cabin of Air Force One was filled with gunshots and howls.
"...Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"...Damn it! The head! Aim for the head!"
In the narrow aisle of the cabin, a blond white bodyguard raised his pistol and fired wildly forward. However, the insufficiently powerful pistol bullets hit the zombies, but could not cause obvious damage - even though they were scarred, they still bared their teeth. The ground staggered and rushed towards me!
"...bastard! Who let these monsters get on the plane!"
Another bodyguard wearing glasses was cursing while huddled in the corner under the window of the plane, changing magazines.
Next to him, there was a beautiful stewardess with a pale face, half lying on the floor dying, covering her arm where a piece of flesh had been torn off.
"...Because the First Lady was bitten before! We all ignored it! Damn it!"
The bodyguard who fired the shot spat and yelled angrily.
At the same time, in the presidential office on Air Force One, apart from the bodyguards and secretaries, the only ones left were the president and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, a hawkish general. As for where the other decision-makers have gone...well, there is no need to explain this.
At this moment, the last American general is persuading the President to immediately use his nuclear button to sentence the world to death!
——It is also to offer the most gorgeous sacrifice to the dying United States of America!
"...Your Excellency, please enter your password!" the general roared angrily, with almost half of his body covered in blood.
"...But..." The president behind the table was obviously hesitant and seemed to be still struggling. His left hand was also wrapped in a bandage with blood stains.
"...There is nothing to hesitate! Your Excellency, President! Both I and you have been bitten! That's why we must take advantage of this last opportunity to use intercontinental missiles to defeat all potential enemy countries of the United States! Let this world be the United States. Buried with him! ”
The General reached out and punched the table, "...Only when we order the activation of the country's final combat plan 666D, we have fulfilled our obligations to the Constitution and the people! Wow...cough cough cough..."< br>
The next moment, the extremely excited general suddenly widened his eyes, his throat trembled for a while, and he suddenly spurted out a large mouthful of black-red blood... The secretaries and bodyguards who were guarding him hurriedly rushed forward, He supported the general who was vomiting blood, but he was violently thrown away.
"...President...Your Excellency...Now, even the North American Aerospace Defense Command (during the Cold War, the military command center for the United States to prepare for nuclear war) has fallen, and there is no place for us to land in the entire United States... Uh... …Ahem…”
Seizing the opportunity to use the last moment before his transformation, he vomited blood and said intermittently: "...I...can't do it anymore...President...Your Excellency...please make a decision as soon as possible...and... ...Who is going to... kill me..."
Looking at the general who was bleeding from all his orifices, a bodyguard sighed and pulled out a pistol, pointed it at his temple, and then pulled the trigger...
Bang——
Gunshots rang out and blood splattered.
Witnessing the death of the last important government official around him, the President of the United States stretched out his hand and gently crossed himself on his chest to bid farewell to the deceased.
Then, in his originally contradictory and hesitant eyes, some kind of determination finally emerged! Or rather crazy!
——Since the United States of America is destined to perish, let the whole world be buried with it!
There is no need to continue to exist in a world without the United States!
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
In the North Pacific, in the waters of Guam, there is an Ohio-class strategic missile nuclear submarine.
In this sealed space in the deep sea, hundreds of American officers and soldiers finally avoided the threat of zombies and successfully survived.
However, as described in many disaster movies, the real culprit that destroys mankind's last hope is always mankind itself.
"...Captain! We have received an emergency action order! The code is...666DELTA!"
In the submarine's command center, the slightly trembling voice of the communications crew echoed.
Everyone who heard this code was stunned for a moment involuntarily.
Each of them knew the meaning of this code, but they never thought that there would be a day when this order would be executed.
"...Repeat it again, code 666D!" The signal soldier took a deep breath, "...This is an order for a full-scale nuclear attack!"
"...Understood, report to the bridge! Request confirmation of the order!"
Although the mission of this strategic missile nuclear submarine was originally like this, after actually receiving this order, the elderly captain with a wrinkled forehead still couldn't help but hesitate a little, cold sweat trickling down his forehead, "...How about it, is the order okay? ?" he asked tentatively.
The black deputy captain over there looked at the confidential documents in the safe, checked the authenticity of the order, and nodded expressionlessly.
Therefore, the white captain no longer hesitated, but picked up the microphone with a solemn face and issued an order to all officers and soldiers on the ship: "...inform all officers and soldiers that we have confirmed the presidential order. Now this ship will attack China and the Korean Peninsula Nuclear attack on densely populated areas! ”
In response, the expressions of the crew members changed one after another. Everyone was so shocked that they couldn't believe their ears!
——The nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union that had not started for half a century was going to break out unreasonably at a time when all mankind is facing the crisis of annihilation and when unity and cooperation of all countries in the world are most needed? !
This is really...how shameless, how cruel, and how heart-rending!
Because you have suffered misfortune, do you want others to become more miserable? ! !
However, orders are orders. Since it is the duty of soldiers to obey orders, no matter how crazy the order is, they can only accept it.
"...Who is the current interim president? Cabinet members have turned into monsters one after another. It is probably the Minister of Energy's turn now, right?"
After reporting the order to launch nuclear missiles, the captain stood up straight, looked at the electronic map in front of him and said.
"...It seemed to be the Secretary of Homeland Security, but then he seemed to be bitten too...what a bastard!"
The vice-captain frowned, lowered his head, and inserted the key to launch the nuclear bomb into the electronic jack in front of him.
"...Then no one knows what is happening today, whether it is the angels in heaven...or the sons of God..." He murmured a prayer, perhaps praying that God could forgive them for what they were going to do next. of sin.
"...Hmph...even my father who is waiting in heaven is the same!"
The captain made the same move and said coldly at the same time, seemingly disrespecting God who is omnipotent but can do nothing.
Then, he took a deep breath and shouted: "...Launch No. 1!"
"...God! Forgive us!"
"...God! Save us!"
Two prayers sounded simultaneously.
Both keys are turned simultaneously.
The submarine-launched magazine of the Ohio-class strategic missile nuclear submarine suddenly opened.
——Along with the white foam, several black nuclear missiles were launched from the submarine. First, they slowly broke through the water, and then sprayed out scorching flames from the tail. The speed became faster and faster, and finally pulled a white missile. The smoke shot straight into the sky, carrying death to all parts of the world!
At the same time, almost the same scene was playing out in countless U.S. military bases and ships around the world.
——The nuclear war strategies of nuclear powers such as China, the United States, and Russia are of the type of "global destruction" that drags the earth with them, and even allies will not let it go.
Then, as if Pandora's box was broken, other countries that detected US missiles also launched nuclear counterattacks...
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
In the Siberian wilderness, near Irkutsk, on the shores of Lake Baikal, the end of an unknown secret railway branch.
This secret station, which cannot be found on any public map, is a strategic nuclear missile base left over from the former Soviet era.
At this moment, the central control room of this base was in chaos. The normal lighting had long been extinguished, and the red emergency lights, harsh electronic buzzers, and large flashes of sparks from time to time made the entire central control room look like a nightmare.
Accompanied by a violent cough, Captain Dimitri Kalinin held on to the broken wall and got up from the ground covered with concrete fragments and covered with a thick layer of dust.
After spitting out a mouthful of blood-tinged saliva, his tinnitus symptoms were slightly relieved.
The military uniform was in tatters, and the hat had gone somewhere. In this case, it was impossible to find it back... The embarrassed Strategic Rocket Force captain didn't even bother to tidy up his appearance, so he covered his bleeding forehead and shouted loudly. call.
"...Makarov!"
"...alive——"
"...Mikhashville!"
"...alive——"
"... Lukin... Vladimir Lukin!"
"Cough...cough...alive..."
……
Along with the falling dust and bursts of violent coughing, all twelve people in the central control room responded. This made Captain Kalinin finally let out a long breath.
However, when he thought of the desperate situation facing the Russian motherland, his eyes became dim again.
——What makes every Russian feel infinitely indignant is that the real fatal blow to the Russian Federation was not those cannibal walking zombies, but the old enemy of a century: the United States!
Thanks to its vast territory of 17 million square kilometers from the Baltic Sea to the Pacific, when Western European countries were engulfed by zombies in an instant, Russia was able to retreat in a relatively orderly manner and stabilized its position for a time - although Parts of Europe centered on Moscow and St. Petersburg have basically fallen, but so far, the zombie crisis has not spread to the Asian lands east of the Ural Mountains.
Just one day ago, the Russian interim government had just withdrawn to Yekaterinaburg east of the Ural Mountains and resumed its work. It announced that it would set up an isolation zone along the Ural Mountains to ensure the security of some parts of Asia and at the same time actively rescue Europe. Every Russian is deeply inspired by the survivors in the occupied areas... Who would have thought that the crazy Yankees would actually launch a nuclear war at this time! ! !
Faced with the incoming U.S. nuclear bombs, the Russian ballistic missile defense system deployed in Siberia immediately activated and successfully blocked the first batch of U.S. submarine-launched missiles. However, the wreckage of a downed American missile accidentally hit the strategic missile base where Captain Kalinin was located, triggering a series of explosions and disasters, and almost buried them underground and reduced them to earth. Dog.
What's even worse is that the Russians have no way to completely intercept the intercontinental missiles flying from Europe - because many military bases there have been overrun by zombies... Therefore, the Russian temporary missiles in Yekaterinaburg The government was destroyed instantly in a mushroom cloud.
“…According to the last order issued by the highest authorities before being destroyed by the explosion of a US nuclear bomb, our country is in the midst of a comprehensive nuclear disaster. This is a total war launched by the United States against us - all bases should immediately launch all nuclear weapons, Counterattack according to the predetermined plan!”
Captain Kalinin looked around at his battered subordinates, and announced solemnly and sadly, "...at this moment when all mankind needs to unite most, the evil Americans stabbed us from behind. One Knife - The global nuclear war that did not break out in the Soviet era has become a reality today... I hope God will bless our nation to continue to survive after the nuclear disaster..."
——As we all know, during the long Cold War, the Soviet Union had been preparing for a nuclear war that could destroy mankind itself, manufacturing thousands of nuclear warheads like sausages. Thankfully, for nearly half a century, a devastating nuclear war never became a reality.
After the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War, Captain Kalinin, as a technical officer, once thought that these nuclear arsenals sealed underground would become "living fossils of the Cold War" that would be buried forever... But the final result was just a delay. Delayed death penalty for twenty years...
However, no matter how sad and desperate they were, Captain Kalinin and his colleagues followed the procedures they had trained countless times, completed the launch of all twelve intercontinental missiles as quickly as possible, and watched them eject with relief. Flying into space with a long tail flame...
Next, when a new round of NATO nuclear bombs finally broke through the Russian defense network, causing a dazzling white light symbolizing destruction to suddenly light up in the direction of urban Irkutsk at the end of the horizon, the mission had been completed. Captain Kalinin had even forgotten the fear of death, leaving only deep helplessness and a little bit of fanaticism in his heart.
After a while, the ground shook as if it had been hit hard. The military train on the railway that had just launched its missiles and had not had time to recover it rolled several times in front of the violent shock wave like a child's toy. The fragile connections between the carriages were abruptly severed, and each armored carriage weighing hundreds of tons flew out and scattered across the desolate and peaceful Siberian wasteland.
When all the catastrophe temporarily subsided, Captain Kalinin, who seemed miraculously not seriously injured, leaned his back on the crooked concrete wall and slowly slid down... He thought he would rise towards the end of the horizon. The mushroom cloud waved his fist and yelled - this was probably the only thing he could do now. However, the feeling of powerlessness rising from the bottom of his heart forced him to exhale a breath of hot, radiant air.
——This world... is probably about to end.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
China, Jilin Province, suburbs of Tonghua City, a PLA long-range missile unit station
The homeland air defense system, which could not be called a complete one in the first place, had already collapsed under the attack of the zombie craze.
Three dazzling spherical flames appeared in the distant sky, each of them grinning fiercely at the earth that was unable to resist.
The next moment, huge mushroom clouds rose up one after another. On the horizon in the direction of the city, a large area of dazzling colorful light is reflected. The rolling gray-black clouds and the fiery red smoke devoured each other, using each other's bodies to desperately increase their own strength. The gloomy clouds have been dyed orange like the afterglow, and the dazzling flashes make people feel as if they are seeing countless suns.
The fiery energy released from the center of the explosion engulfed everything that could be destroyed. Enveloped by violent air currents, deadly radiation particles first rushed high into the dark sky, and then spread across the vast land with the terrifying determination to destroy everything, bringing havoc and death.
Standing next to the missile launch vehicle that had just launched in the direction of Japan, looking at the foreign missiles falling in the distance, a certain People's Liberation Army captain showed a faint smile, then took out the photo of his fiancée in his pocket, and kissed the woman who had long since turned into a zombie The beautiful shadow.
"...Farewell, Rongrong. If there is an afterlife, see you then..."
Immediately afterwards, dazzling white light and scorching energy made him feel burning pain.
He closed his eyes and silently felt the last moments of his life.
There was a sharp pain like needle pricks on the face, the skin was burned in an instant, the muscles were torn from the bones, and the blood in the body began to boil - this intense high temperature will cook all the organs and dry them out. Every drop of liquid eventually burns everything to ashes.
"...Is this death?"
With the last consciousness in his brain, he fell heavily to the ground. The strong hot wind ignited the fragile clothes, and the blue flames enveloped the whole body. The charred skeleton could no longer support the body, and it suddenly dispersed... …eventually turned into a pile of hot dust enveloped in radiation...
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
At the same time, equally earth-shattering nuclear explosions occurred in Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong, Seoul, Pyongyang, New York, London, Paris, Berlin, Rome, Kiev, and Moscow , in Stockholm, in Istanbul, in Baghdad, in Tehran, in New Delhi, in Jakarta, in Sydney, in Mexico City, in Rio de Janeiro, in Buenos Aires...
In just one day, mankind squandered all the nuclear arsenal they had accumulated for more than half a century!
The orange-red tail flames ejected by tens of thousands of nuclear missiles when they are launched render the sky colorful.
The series of tragic nuclear explosions enveloped almost every corner of the civilized world.
Gray-black mushroom clouds rose one after another on the surface of the blue planet.
There are also invisible lethal radiation particles that spread rapidly throughout the world along the wind and ocean currents.
These are the tears of a great era and the tragedy of all mankind!
Hatred and jealousy have defeated unity and friendship, and darkness and evil have replaced light and integrity.
In the ugliest and most narrow-minded malice, human beings who created a highly developed civilization then destroyed their civilization with their own hands!
Billions of souls were turned into ashes at this moment, playing the darkest requiem for the passing of the old era.
Until now, the murderer behind this unprecedented catastrophe is still hidden in the shadows, making it impossible to find. In addition, in a corner beyond the shadow of the mushroom cloud, a group of visitors from another world are quietly carrying out their own plans...
