As the aftershocks of the explosion spread, the number of casualties on the U.S. mainland skyrocketed.
Ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million...
But that was the end of it; the final death toll stood at a staggering 8 million.
Of course, the 8 million deaths were not because those thousands of nuclear bombs could only kill that many people.
Rather, there are only so many people available for a nuclear bomb to kill.
The once bustling metropolis, steeped in many fascinating stories, is now in ruins, and its valuable high-tech weapons have turned to ashes.
Survivors full of dreams and high-ranking politicians are no different in the face of a disaster of this magnitude.
They're all just flammable materials.
Those white pigs would never have imagined that the superweapon they used to maintain their hegemony would one day explode right next to them.
Even the majestic mountains, the vast fertile land, and the rivers and lakes frozen for thousands of miles were shattered in an instant.
Even the entire North American continent experienced a slight displacement that was invisible to the naked eye.
In the Pacific Ocean not far from the west coast of the United States, a large splash also erupted.
It eventually swelled into a gigantic water sphere of terrifying size.
That was the same unfortunate strategic nuclear submarine that received the self-destruct order.
The nearly 10-meter-thick layer of sea ice, as fragile as cardboard, fluttered in the air, reflecting a mesmerizing luster under the rays of the sun above and below.
The enormous seven-colored rainbow, which had disappeared after a series of cold waves, reappeared at this moment, adding a touch of fantasy to this massacre of death.
No matter how magnificent the performance, it will eventually come to an end.
After an unknown amount of time, the flames and shockwaves from the simultaneous explosion of thousands of nuclear bombs gradually subsided.
But the clouds that were blown apart in the sky have never been able to heal.
The relentless heavy snowfall that had been falling continuously has now disappeared.
To some extent, these clouds also contributed to the Earth's long history of being frozen over.
The white clouds reflected the sunlight, preventing the temperature from rising for a long time.
Even if some light shines down, it will still be reflected by the equally white ice layer.
And now.
The clouds over the entire United States have been broken.
Even the ice on the ground melted due to the high temperature, and the brown soil was turned back to the surface.
If nothing unexpected happens, the temperature here will soon rise under the sun's rays.
It could even become an opportunity for the Earth to thaw rapidly.
Looking down through the clear, cloudless sky.
The United States, which was once a single continent, is now a scene of devastation and desolate ruins.
The nuclear bomb explosion left behind a large number of deep craters.
These deep pits were quickly filled by the scalding hot water from the melting and the backflow of the tsunami.
Eventually, this formed a vast expanse of lakes.
A thick haze, thick with nuclear radiation, drifted over the lake, gradually condensing into clouds.
These clouds met with cold air converging from all directions and were quickly frozen into snowflakes that drifted away.
The drifting snowflakes, upon contact with the scorching mist below, will reheat and melt into raindrops, falling back into the lake.
The entire vast territory of the United States is in a cycle of constantly changing weather, gradually cooling down.
Looking down from space again at this moment.
Half of the North American continent now appears to have become a veritable land of a thousand lakes.
It resembles the Yunmeng Marsh described in the ancient Chinese classic, the *Classic of Mountains and Seas*:
The lakes are like scattered stars, and the miasma lingers year-round.
The wispy water vapor carrying nuclear radiation bears a striking resemblance to the dangerous "miasma" described in historical records.
...
Liu Kai and Qin Luofei sat comfortably in the storage space, leisurely sipping tea.
Unaffected by the dramatic changes in the outside world.
Of course, Liu Kai was also keeping a close eye on the developments outside.
In such a violent explosion, almost 99.999% of the US military force and survivors must have been completely wiped out.
The only survivors were the frontline troops deployed in the frozen Pacific Ocean, confronting China.
Moreover, the Sinclair family's brainwashing provided a crucial assist.
The high-ranking officials were all stunned and made no move, completely missing that slim chance to hide in the bunker and eke out a living.
If possible.
Liu Kaizhen really wanted Qiu Xingzhou to award the Sinclair family a Medal of the Republic in recognition of their enormous contribution to the destruction of the United States.
I wonder if those Sinclair family members who shot themselves in the foot are still alive.
But none of that matters anymore.
Once the lunar rocket successfully retrieves the crystal and returns to Earth, even if there are any surviving rats in the Sinclair family, Liu Kai will come knocking on their door and kill them one by one.
The entire nuclear explosion process only takes a few minutes.
Without the continuous brainwashing radio waves from space, humanity around the world has gradually come to its senses.
Those US military personnel and technicians who took off in transport planes before the nuclear bomb exploded are going to cry.
They had been meticulously piloting the plane under the brainwashed orders.
The sudden awakening left the pilots completely bewildered.
A significant number of them made erroneous and fatal mistakes in the chaos.
As a result, many planes crashed into the sea due to the pilots' foolish actions, leaving no trace of their remains.
A small number of planes escaped unharmed.
When the pilots regained consciousness, they were also full of questions. They didn't know why they had suddenly appeared in the sky with their plane.
So these people did the same thing almost at the same time: immediately contact the local authorities.
The whole of America is dead.
No matter how much they called out, it was all in vain.
Without receiving instructions, these pilots all chose to return to base.
