In the human world, countless television stations are broadcasting live footage of the nuclear bomb's attack on the metal monsters!
Humans desperately need a victory to boost morale, and this nuclear bomb attack is the first step towards achieving that!
If the results are favorable, then a global outbreak of nuclear warfare is foreseeable!
Of course, even if humans win, the cost will be enormous, with significant environmental impacts. Additionally, the use of nuclear weapons will likely lead to the proliferation of such weapons among many countries and even terrorist organizations. But as long as the threat of the metal monsters is eliminated, humanity is willing to take the risk!
Despite the many drawbacks, when the time comes to use it, it must be used!
A nuclear bomb undoubtedly brings tremendous morale.
But what no one could have imagined was that in the Tokyo metropolitan area of Japan, at the very moment when all eyes were on the trajectory of the nuclear bomb about to strike the Japanese mainland, a streak of red light suddenly shot forth.
It shattered the dreams of countless people!
Poof!!
As television screens broadcasted the trajectory of the approaching nuclear bomb entering Japanese territory, television presenters from various countries were continuously unlocking various data about the yield of the nuclear bomb!
The red light seemed like a beautiful firework piercing through layers of fog, suddenly arriving!
But it didn't bring any beautiful scenery; instead, it brought despair!
The nuclear bomb's speed was incredibly fast, reaching several times the speed of sound.
But this speed was nothing compared to the red light!
The red light streaked towards the nuclear bomb at a speed beyond comprehension!
So fast that humans could only see a red blur approaching!
And then, it collided head-on with the nuclear bomb!
Boom!!
A bright white light erupted. In the sky, it seemed to tear through the universe, aiming precisely to shatter everyone's hopes with a celestial light that struck the nuclear bomb in flight!
A tremendous explosion resounded!
The sound was deafening, but even more deafening was the sound of countless people's hopes being shattered!
Accompanying the sound was a bright light illuminating the live broadcast cameras. At this moment, the nuclear bomb had not even flown out of the aircraft carrier's visual range. The high-definition cameras tracking the nuclear bomb's movement on the carrier transmitted this scene through countless screens to households around the world...
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
A brilliant white light erupted in the sky, surpassing the brightness of the sun in an instant!
People couldn't help but tightly close their eyes, but the deafening explosion resounded through television screens, transmitting it to every household!
And at that moment, the red light from the explosion had completely detonated the nuclear warhead!
An even brighter light rose into the sky!
A mushroom cloud, seemingly capable of piercing the sky, billowed up vigorously. This mushroom cloud grew extremely large. The intense shockwave immediately impacted the distant aircraft carrier. The entire carrier shook, and the subsequent camera footage shook violently as well.
However, no one paid attention to those small details anymore. People remained silent as they watched the nuclear warhead, triggered to explode by a massive red light in the sky. In their minds, there was only one thought: things were really dire!
That red light was clearly the work of the metal monsters. Although they couldn't emit such a massive red light themselves, the similarity between this red light and their attack methods was striking. Anyone who had seen that kind of red light would never forget its appearance.
And on Earth, what else could produce such a red light besides the metal monsters? Even humans couldn't accomplish it!
But the intensity of this red light far surpassed anything released by individual metal monsters.
Humans had been trying to explain the existence of the metal monsters for a long time. Some said they were created by an evil scientific organization, others claimed they were remnants of an ancient civilization, and some even believed they were sent by God to eradicate humanity, the cosmic virus.
However, after witnessing the true combat power of the metal monsters, people were somewhat relieved. Although they couldn't be completely defeated, they weren't an unstoppable force either.
However, what if the metal monsters had weapons and powers far beyond human imagination? Would Earth be completely destroyed, or would humanity become enslaved?
But the behavior of the metal monsters had always been lukewarm. Although they suppressed human armies, they didn't completely dominate them. Some even calculated that if their numbers remained at the current level, they would exhaust their energy after defeating fifty million human soldiers.
This calculation, once proposed online, gained popularity. The person who proposed this equation even appeared on television, becoming famous overnight.
However, this was just human speculation. What if the metal monsters didn't conform to human expectations? What if they hadn't even exerted their full power yet?
The towering buildings with immense firepower were evidence of this.
What kind of destruction would this red light cause if it targeted human cities? No one knew!
And how many of these huge cannons had the metal monsters already built? No one knew!
How long could a single cannon continue to emit this red light? No one knew!
In fact, after fighting for so many days, humans thought they understood their metal monster adversaries, even giving them a scientific name, but in reality, they didn't understand them at all!
So, today's nuclear bomb attack was intended to bolster human determination to deal with the metal monsters, but it had backfired. Not only were the high-ranking officials of Earth dumbfounded, but the ordinary people they wanted to instill confidence in were also left in shock!
These people also felt a chilling sensation!
That is, can these metal monsters really be defeated by humans?
The idea of sending their children to join the military was absolutely out of the question!
Therefore, at this moment, support for various countries plummeted to its lowest!
Stock prices plummeted at this moment!
At this moment, all of humanity was plunged into a state of panic!
It was just a red light, but it had plunged the entire human world into panic.
No! It wasn't just panic; it was despair!
If someone were to see the culprit, the huge building, it would seem as if it had done nothing at all, standing proudly in the cold wind high above!
The giant cannon that brought despair to humanity seemed forever indifferent.
The turmoil in the human world did not affect Jia Yan, who was at Qinghai Lake in China!
The giant mosquito had temporarily ignored those matters. Near this research institute, he was trying to decipher the secrets of that institute!
In the bushes not far from the institute, Jia Yan's compound eyes looked faintly at the institute in the distance.
It was a rainy day today, and the sunlight overhead was nowhere to be seen. It seemed that this weather was also a prelude to the extremely noisy events in Japan. However, for Jia Yan at the moment, this was not his top concern.
Right now, he was single-mindedly thinking about continuing to enhance his own strength.
Perhaps deep down, he also felt a sense of urgency. To deal with the metal monsters and this crisis, he had to become even stronger.
Of course, he still hadn't thought about many things, and he didn't even know about the nuclear warhead being launched from Japan!
