The endless white light, accompanied by dozens of mushroom clouds rising, illuminated the world before Chen Luo completely.
"Nuclear explosion?!" The moment Chen Luo thought of it, the terrifying white light even made his eyes feel slightly uncomfortable.
Nuclear explosion light cannot be directly viewed with the naked eye, otherwise, one would be blinded. However, Chen Luo only felt slight discomfort.
What truly made him feel horrified was that someone had detonated dozens of nuclear bombs near the capital.
After a slight adjustment of the demonic patterns in his eyes, the white light that almost obscured everything was adapted to by Chen Luo's vision.
The mushroom clouds soaring into the sky were like the sinister laughter of a devil, showcasing the ferocity of destruction to this world.
Within moments of contemplation, the shockwave from the explosions finally arrived.
The earth trembled like ripples on water, and an invisible shockwave fiercely swept over Chen Luo in the sky.
The force was enough to directly blow away a large passenger aircraft, but Chen Luo felt as if he were being caressed by a gentle breeze, showing no change at all.
He gazed at the distant nuclear explosion sites, a sense of unease churning in his heart:
"Could it be that they initiated the attack?! This is bad!!!"
The silver wings behind him suddenly erupted with brilliant radiance, and Chen Luo instantly transformed into a stream of light, flying towards the Imperial Capital!
But!
A translucent barrier, piercing through heaven and earth, suddenly appeared in Chen Luo's path!
Boom!
Chen Luo, unable to dodge in time, crashed directly into the barrier!
The terrifying reactive force made Chen Luo's internal organs churn, and a huge crack was forcefully created on the barrier by Chen Luo.
Shaking his slightly dizzy head, Chen Luo looked at the barrier that had suddenly appeared with confusion:
"Where did this barrier come from? Who is stopping me?"
Hum...
Suddenly, Chen Luo's gaze sharpened as he looked towards a certain spot in the air behind the barrier.
In his perception, some strange energy was gathering there!
The cracks on the translucent barrier, created by Chen Luo's impact, healed rapidly.
And behind the barrier, in the place Chen Luo was watching, a spatial gate quietly opened...
A figure cloaked in black robes slowly emerged from the gate.
As the spatial gate behind him closed and dissipated, the cloaked figure slowly raised his head and removed the hood from his head.
On his corpse-like pale face, a pair of eyes burning with black flames quietly gazed at Chen Luo:
"The human from the intelligence?"
"Your path ends here! No passage ahead!!"
——————
In the Imperial Capital's highest command center,
The elders and high-ranking officials of the "Shenji" think tank were all nervously watching the images on the surveillance screen.
An intelligence officer beside them reported the progress of the plan's implementation truthfully:
"According to the special strategic code 'Assassin King,' our side launched five hundred and sixty-seven nuclear bombs at the Undead Tribe's main base three minutes ago!"
Next to the surveillance screen, a recording of the nuclear explosions was quietly playing.
In the footage, hundreds of missiles loaded with nuclear warheads, accompanied by thick exhaust trails, flew directly towards the outskirts of the Imperial Capital.
At this moment, Chen, who had arrived at the highest command center, looked at the surveillance footage of the nuclear explosions and the recording of the missile launches, feeling an indescribable emotion.
...
Chen's thoughts returned to before, to what had happened in the Shenji general assembly hall.
He had not expected that the elders of the highest command would have formulated such a strategy with the leader of Shenji.
Such a ridiculously insane strategy!
They were going to detonate over five hundred nuclear bombs on their own soil, less than a hundred kilometers from the capital!
When he saw the special strategic code named "Assassin King," Chen felt either he had gone mad or the world had gone mad.
The impact of five hundred nuclear bombs, and the inevitable nuclear contamination afterward, would turn the Great Yan's capital into a dead land!
It should be known that apart from the eastern defense forces, who had detonated a nuclear bomb for some unknown reason,
The entire Great Yan had never used nuclear weapons against any enemy in this world.
Even when the battle for the Imperial Capital was extremely critical, it had still remained at the level of conventional heavy weaponry.
Because using nuclear weapons on their own soil only meant one thing: Great Yan had reached the final moments of national extinction and racial annihilation!
Chen looked at the "Assassin King" plan in his hand, the absurdity of it making him forget to stand up and object.
When he looked up blankly, he found that the other team leaders, besides shock, all had an attitude of tacit approval.
In the conference room, the elder from the highest command center, seated at the head, said with a weary expression:
"Nuclear weapons are our last resort. If we could, we wouldn't want to use them."
"We still harbored the thought of reclaiming this land in the past, so we never considered using nuclear weapons."
After saying this, the elder fell silent for a moment.
And on the projection screen in the conference room, the suspected Nightmare-class cavalry were continuously emerging from the great tomb...
Looking at this scene, Chen suddenly understood.
It's not that we've gone mad, nor has the world gone mad, but humanity has ushered in its true doomsday.
In doomsday, any thought of preserving strength is foolish.
If humanity is wiped out, what use is there in preserving the world?
When the enemy is truly irresistible, we will shatter this world! Perish together with the enemy!
Finally, after some people chose to abstain, with no one objecting,
The "Assassin King" plan was announced to be executed!
....
Dong!!
The violent tremor pulled Chen's thoughts back to the present.
In the highest command center, the screen in front of Chen was constantly shaking.
No, not just the screen, but the entire land was shaking!
Yet, everyone's emotions remained undisturbed, their gazes fixed on the constantly fluctuating images.
The intelligence officer continued to announce the execution status of the plan:
"The first wave of nuclear impact has arrived!"
"Plan execution normal! The safety zone shield outside the capital blocked ninety percent of the impact force! The shield's power has been weakened by ten percent!"
"All underground shelters' communications are normal! No collapses have occurred!"
"Exposure to strong light, unable to observe the battlefield!!"
Everyone nervously watched the white, blurry monitors. This was the first time humanity had directly attacked an enemy's main base with nuclear weapons.
The previous battles had caught them off guard in the early stages, and by the later stages, with the help of heavy firepower, a stalemate had been reached.
If it weren't for the Nightmare-class appearing in numbers far exceeding expectations, the capital was prepared to continue this attrition.
But clearly, the enemy would not give humanity such an opportunity, so before the enemy launched their attack, humanity chose to strike first!
Everyone was anticipating a result, expecting the radiance of nuclear weapons to sweep away that dark great tomb.
Even if the price was the land around the capital becoming barren for a hundred years!
The tremors gradually subsided, and the brilliance of the nuclear detonations slowly dimmed on the monitors...
