Just as Dr. Laveran had wailed, there was nothing left of the city.
Due to the instant vacuum, the previously balanced internal and external pressures were reduced to internal pressure alone. Thus, living organisms and buildings were like deep-sea fish suddenly surfacing, immediately swollen by the internal pressure and bursting apart. More lethal to living beings were suffocation and the drop in air pressure, causing liquids to boil, including blood. By the time the surrounding air rushed back in, forming a fierce tornado, not a single creature was left alive. After a tornado with a speed of 120 meters per second raged for four hours, the city, already in ruins, was, of course, left with "nothing remaining."
