The command was given, and the prototype machine started operating rapidly.

Within just 3 seconds, two extremely complex strings of code were injected into the root server.

These codes also spread at the speed of light.

It spread silently throughout the still-operating military servers across the United States.

In an instant, almost all the computers on the roadbed and vehicle-mounted nuclear weapons received an order.

The 3-minute countdown has officially begun.

However, these countdowns were conducted secretly and were not displayed on any screen.

It was like an invisible death knell waiting to toll.

Soldiers, politicians, high-ranking officials, and even survivors throughout the United States were unaware of this.

Death is creeping closer!

The young and powerful nation of America will face its end today.

Seeing the "Command sent successfully" message, Liu Kai surprisingly didn't feel the initial excitement he had felt.

Instead, it evoked a strange sense of melancholy.

The reason these superpowers hold such a position is 90% due to the nuclear weapons they possess.

But this kind of thing is also a double-edged sword of self-destruction.

It is both our strength and our weakness.

The image of thousands of nuclear bombs exploding simultaneously comes to mind.

Liu Kai suddenly felt that an ancient poem could be fitting for that scene:

The east wind at night releases a thousand trees of flowers, and blows down stars like rain.

Even if none of this was caused by "Dongfeng Express", the outcome would have been similar.

The fate of the world has already been decided; all Liu Kai needs to do is wait quietly.

So he quickly unplugged the data cable from the root server.

They entered the folded space, left the root server base, and headed towards Qin Luofei's location.

Just then, the countdown finally reached zero.

An invisible electromagnetic wave shot out from all those signal transmitting devices.

Like a spell announcing the end of the world, it pierced through the clouds and reached space.

Almost instantly, more than a dozen brainwashing devices received data from the ground.

After storing the data according to the set steps, they immediately transmitted the same signal to nearby devices.

The entire information transmission process is like a uranium atom fission reaction.

One person tells ten, ten tell a hundred.

In just over twenty seconds.

The global brainwashing network then received all the radio frequency data that it was supposed to transmit.

Sudden.

Each brainwashing device has a crack at the bottom, revealing the radio wave transmitter inside.

Global brainwashing has officially begun.

At that moment, it was as if the doomsday curse launched into space had received a response.

As the current surged.

The dense array of radio signals has truly woven a giant fishing net, encompassing the Earth, this great fish.

The Chinese Aerospace Force was the first to discover this change.

Just as a spaceplane locked onto a device, the pilot suddenly noticed a crack in the brainwashing device.

This unexpected turn of events instantly filled the pilot with a sense of foreboding.

He dared not delay and immediately prepared to report the matter to the ground.

However, at that moment, the pilot suddenly felt a blood-red light before his eyes.

It felt as if I had fallen into a boundless, turbulent red ocean.

A sharp, intense pain then appeared deep within my brain.

His finger, which was about to press the communication button, suddenly froze, and he was unable to make any movement or control the plane.

After that, he couldn't remember anything at all.

Only a spaceplane, now controlled by a computer, was left to fly aimlessly in suborbital space.

The same scene was also happening on the ground.

Qiu Xingzhou and other high-ranking officials did not enter the bunker; they were still discussing ways to resolve the crisis.

Because according to the plan, even when it comes to the final moment when a nuclear missile needs to be launched.

There's still time to set off again and enter the deep underground fortress.

But they never expected that the brainwashing device would suddenly activate at this moment.

The once noisy meeting room suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

The person who was frantically discussing countermeasures just a moment ago suddenly relaxed their furrowed brows the next moment.

Everyone remained motionless in their original postures, either standing or sitting.

Soldiers on military bases, soldiers in tanks, soldiers in airplanes, survivors in shelters...

The United States, China, Russia, Western European countries...

All nations, all lands, all humankind.

An eerie silence enveloped everything.

It's as if time has been paused, and in the blink of an eye, they are frozen into lifelike wax figures.

Even without a pilot, high-tech equipment like a spaceplane can still automatically maintain its orbital operation.

Even fighter jets can be used.

However, this wouldn't work for helicopters and vehicles that don't have such advanced technology.

Without the driver's control, it gradually began to go out of control.

Gradually, helicopters in the air began to spin rapidly and crash to the ground, exploding into a ball of fire.

Vehicles and tanks kept losing their way and crashing straight into buildings.

There were even quite a few unfortunate helicopters that crashed precisely into the shelters during their descent.

The shelter couldn't withstand such a violent impact for a moment.

The main structure was damaged, creating a huge hole that allowed the howling cold wind to rush in.

The helicopter's fuel tank leaked and exploded after it fell.

Large amounts of burning fuel fell on the heads of the stunned survivors below, or ignited flammable materials in the shelter.

The raging fire spread rapidly, soon triggering a new wave of disaster.
