Although Mo Ran had instructed Shu Shu to do everything in her power to block the news, there are no secrets that stay hidden forever.
This situation can't last much longer, and the remaining time... is almost up.
……………………………………………
The sun rises again above the horizon, and a new day begins.
With less than a week to go before the SD-23 meteorite impact, news about the meteorite can no longer be suppressed.
Various reports and videos flooded the internet, instantly sweeping across the entire country.
Despair, fear, helplessness, and dread—all sorts of negative emotions rapidly swelled and spread.
Factories and jobs began to shut down, and people who had been working away from home returned to their hometowns to spend their last moments with their families.
Some residents with poor mental resilience even wanted to end their lives prematurely.
Some people who had accumulated a lot of anger due to the hardships of life began to release their malice at this moment.
Fortunately, a large number of troops had already been stationed in all the cities, and police and special forces from all sides joined forces to quickly suppress the situation.
Everyone's cell phones, televisions, and even large screens outside shopping malls started playing a video continuously for 24 hours.
The video was a speech by a high-ranking leader of the Dragon Kingdom, which reassured the public.
At the same time, it will inform everyone that the Dragon Kingdom will unite with all countries in the world to release nuclear weapons and use global power to fight against the extraterrestrial meteorite.
This news instantly suppressed a large part of the despair and gave many people renewed hope for life.
What nuclear weapons are is very clear to everyone on Earth.
It is a cutting-edge product of wisdom and technology, possessing terrifying power to dominate all others and destroy everything, yet it is merely a nuclear weapon.
The total number of nuclear weapons possessed by the entire planet Earth is in the tens of thousands.
One nuclear weapon might not be able to move this meteorite, but what about dozens, hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands?
As the news spread, all of humanity on Earth rekindled their hope for life.
Many countries on the verge of collapse have begun to recover, and their social systems are starting to function again.
...
Time passed day by day, and before we knew it... the time was up.
December 30th.
Today is the last day of the year.
Only 9 hours, 57 minutes and 32 seconds remain before the SD-23 meteorite enters the atmosphere of Earth.
...
The weather is already quite cold today, and Shanghai is even experiencing a blanket of white snow.
Although it was only 4 o'clock, the entire sky was completely dark.
But at this moment, Shanghai was already brightly lit, and all the residents were sitting in front of their mobile phones and televisions, with some even staying up all night.
The phone screen displayed a live stream created by the official Dragon Kingdom, showing the SD-23 meteorite gradually approaching Earth.
Moreover, many people prepared various supplies in large and small bags.
The streets below were filled with various empty trucks, and there were many soldiers guarding the area.
This was the second plan prepared by the Dragon Kingdom, but nuclear weapons could not reduce the meteorite to the minimum damage.
Then all residents will be immediately evacuated to the nearest underground civil defense facility.
...
"Awoo~ Hmm!"
Mo Ran stretched lazily in bed, then slowly got out of bed and leaned against the bed frame.
Her eyes were drawn to the enormous television hanging on the wall ahead. The television immediately turned on, and a live broadcast appeared right in front of Mo Ran.
It is now 9:40 AM, and there are only 20 minutes left before SD-23 reaches the atmosphere.
Looking up from the ground, SD-23 now appears to be the size of a soybean, and can be seen very clearly with a little focusing.
"Taking away the most powerful weapon that all mankind currently possesses, that's quite an interesting tactic."
Watching the live stream, Mo Ran gave a puzzled smile.
...
9:50.
At this moment, the SD-23 meteorite is about to make contact with the outermost atmosphere, and its surface has begun to glow faintly red.
"Everyone, it's time!"
The top leaders of the Dragon Kingdom looked at the top leaders of various countries connected on the screen, and everyone nodded in unison. Then, they quickly issued the launch order.
-"emission"!
- "Launch!"
-“3апуск”!
- "Lancement"!
"…………!"
...
"Boom!"
With a deep rumble, the covers of all the missile silos that were already prepared slowly opened, and scorching flames instantly shot out from the silos, like fire dragons soaring into the sky.
Supported by the flames, nuclear bombs, trailing long plumes of fire, roared into the sky.
Like shining stars, they soared into space, trailing ribbons of flame.
This scene shocked everyone present; they had never seen such a spectacular sight in their lives.
100 km, 70 km, 40 km, 20 km, 10 km...
Nuclear bombs from all over the world traveled upwards, through the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, exosphere...
The next second, countless nuclear bombs followed, hitting the SD-23 meteorite.
A series of blinding beams of light burst forth, completely enveloping the entire SD-23 meteorite.
