Chapter 249 - Using Nuclear Weapons
Chapter 249: Using Nuclear Weapons
The defensive wall formed by the level-three monsters pressured the soldiers on the high wall.
They were already using laser cannons, but they still couldn’t damage the level-three monsters.
The level-three monster was already so strong. It was obvious that a level-four monster would be even stronger.
Presently, the royal family of Yun Country wasn’t aware that there were level-four monsters because the monitoring system did not detect them.
One could imagine their expressions after discovering a level-four monster.
Right now, the monsters’ Atomic Breaths were ready to fire.
The energy generated by Atomic Breath was equivalent to nuclear weapons.
No matter how sturdy the high walls of the Yun Country were, they would not be able to withstand this.
At this critical moment, a sharp whistle sounded from the sky.
A few seconds ago, the royal family had approved the use of nuclear weapons to stop the monsters’ Atomic Breaths.
The fighter aircrafts hovering in the sky immediately carried out the order.
They dropped a nuclear missile.
As it was only used to interfere with the monsters’ Atomic Breaths, this missile wasn’t too heavy and wasn’t particularly strong. However, its maximum lethal area was around 500 meters.
Boom!
Accompanied by a loud bang, a scarlet mushroom cloud soared into the sky and swept up the clouds as if it wanted to swallow the entire world.
The sky had already darkened.
The light generated by the nuclear missile explosion lit up the entire sky. Huge waves swept on the surface of the sea, and the shockwaves sent the dead experimental subjects flying hundreds of meters away.
The high walls of the coastline were struck by the impact of the nuclear missile explosion. The walls shook violently, and many cracks appeared on the ground below.
The soldiers’ hearts were in their throats. This was their first time experiencing the power of nuclear weapons at such a close distance.
They were extremely nervous and afraid at the same time.
They feared that the high walls could not withstand the shock waves of nuclear missiles.
Fortunately, they were sturdy enough.
Now, the monsters’ cries could be heard from the sea.
They charged out of the mushroom cloud.
Their huge bodies moved, creating rolling waves.
In an instant, the sea surface grew turbulent as monsters swiftly swam towards the shore.
After the bombardment of the nuclear missile, tens of monsters were eliminated.
These monsters were mainly at level-one, with a small portion being at level-two.
Level-one and level-two monsters were unable to absorb nuclear energy. Nuclear weapons were highly lethal to them.
However, the level-two monsters had an even better defense. In addition, the nuclear missile’s power was not that strong, so very few died.
The monsters that were under attack were thoroughly enraged.
In the sky, fighter jets were circling around, reporting the situation to higher-ups and the royal family, asking if they should stop them.
The upper echelons of the royal family didn’t think too much about it. They ordered another nuclear attack. At the same time, they ordered the troops on the wall to evacuate from this area as soon as possible.
Soon, a second nuclear missile landed.
Just like the first time, it wasn’t too powerful.
As the mushroom cloud rose, the sky was illuminated once again.
The people on land noticed the light and loud noises in the sky on this side of the coastline, but there was no fear in their eyes.
They were very confident in their firepower. It was just a few monsters, and they would be able to destroy them very quickly.
At this moment, a loudspeaker sounded on the street.
“Attention everyone. Two level-three monsters have just been discovered outside the sea area. To prevent the battle from affecting everyone, please head to your respective emergency shelters immediately.”
“Attention everyone. Two level-three monsters have just been discovered outside the sea area. To prevent the battle from affecting everyone, please head to your respective emergency shelters immediately.”
“Attention everyone. Two level-three monsters have just been discovered outside the sea area. To prevent the battle from affecting everyone, please head to your respective emergency shelters immediately.”
…
“Wha… what, level… level-three monsters?”
“Why would level-three monsters come here? Could it be fake news?”
“Gasp! Level-three monsters? Can we win against them?”
The sudden announcement shocked the people.
Soon, all the workers in the districts were mobilized to get the people to the shelters as quickly as possible.
The shelters were built inside the mountains.
Each shelter could hold a hundred thousand people. The resources inside were sufficient and could last for half a year.
Just like that, within the Yun Country, a large number of people rushed to the shelters.
On the other side.
The battle on the coastline continued.
Huge mushroom clouds rose into the sky. The fifth nuclear missile was launched.
There were less than 50 monsters left from the original hundred of them.
Although the number of monsters had decreased, a large area of the sea had been destroyed by nuclear weapons. It was filled with radiation and was no longer suitable for humans to live in.
Nuclear weapons were destructive and lethal to the monsters, but they were also destructive to the environment.
It was a double-edged sword, but there was nothing they could do about it. After all, there were so many monsters. Additionally, there were also level-three monsters. They had to use nuclear weapons.
Although the number of monsters had decreased, they did not stop advancing.
Led by the level-three monsters, the army of monsters had reached the coast.
The level-three monsters were hundreds of years long, and the high walls were only fifty meters tall. In front of a level-three monster, the walls couldn’t even reach their knees.
By now, all the troops within the high wall had retreated. The level-three monsters lifted their feet, and the high wall was easily crushed.
The high walls, in the eyes of the monsters, were structures of no significance.
Behind the high walls was a wide road. The nearest town was only about twenty kilometers away.
Given the monsters’ speed, they could reach in a few minutes.
Although the people had already evacuated to the shelters in the mountains, given the monsters’ destructive power, the shelters wouldn’t help at all.
Going to the shelter was akin to a prolonged execution.
The higher-ups of Yun Country naturally understood this.
Nuclear power was essential to neutralize the monsters.
Therefore, in order to prevent the people from being affected by the nuclear explosion, they were sent to the shelter.
The mountain could very well withstand the explosive power of nuclear weapons.
Now that the people of the region were already in the shelters, the royal family issued orders to launch more powerful nuclear missiles.
After receiving the command, the fighter jets quickly fired the nuclear missile.
Not one, but three.
The range of the three nuclear missiles was about one kilometer, and the shock waves could spread dozens of kilometers.
Soon, sharp whistles sounded in the sky.
Three nuclear missiles fell from the sky.
The eyes of the level-three monsters shone brightly. They seemed to have learned the power of the three nuclear missiles.
Although level-three monsters did not fear the energy from the nuclear explosions, the shock waves from the explosion could still hurt them.
Thus, the level-three monsters began to retaliate.
They had absorbed the nuclear energy of the previous small nuclear missiles and did not need to condense energy particles. They immediately spat out Atomic Breaths.
Huge and dazzling blue light beams shot into the sky. There were dozens of them.
They crisscrossed and formed a large net.
The three nuclear missiles were destroyed by the level-three monster’s Atomic Breaths before they even hit the ground.
The nuclear missiles exploded in the air, and the red clouds rose rapidly. Instantly, they were thousands of meters high, and the temperature reached more than a thousand degrees.
The fighter aircraft in the sky could not dodge in time and were vaporized immediately. The people inside were naturally gone too.
The satellites captured the entire scene.
The upper echelons of the royal family had solemn expressions on their faces, and the air became especially heavy.
Chongshan Tianzong grimace. He asked the ministers below, “How long until reinforcements from the West arrive?”
A minister immediately replied, “They should be here soon?”
“How fast is soon? One minute, one hour, or one day?” Chongshan Tianzong roared.
The minister broke out in cold sweat and immediately knelt down, burying his head in the ground.
“What a bunch of trash.”
“The few of you, immediately give the order. No matter what methods are used, make these monsters disappear from the soil of Yun Country,” Chongshan Tianzong said angrily.
After hearing this, the ministers didn’t dare to raise any objections. After thinking for a while, they immediately issued orders to the troops below.
In an instant, in the airspace of the Yun Country, fighter aircraft flew towards the coastline carrying nuclear missiles.
At the same time, Western reinforcements were on their way.
More than ten super-large transport planes were flying at high speed.
These transport planes were over a hundred meters long and could carry thousands of tons of weight.
