On the fifth day after the nuclear explosion, the city of Havana was in ruins.
A group of engineers wearing full radiation protection suits walked into this deadly situation. They walked slowly with Geiger counters to constantly detect the radiation dose in the ruins.
One day after the nuclear explosion, specialized engineers began to measure the city's radiation figures. At first, the radiation was as high as twenty or thirty roentgens per hour, but the radiation intensity quickly dropped to one millirongen per hour the next day, and by the fifth day it had dropped.
to more than ten microlens per hour.
After confirming that the environment was safe, the engineers reported to the higher-ups of the corps. A few hours later, several cars pulled a large amount of equipment and rushed to the ruins of the city. Several professionals began to select a suitable location and then arranged a venue.
There is a simple podium, dozens of ordinary tables and chairs, a set of microphones and speakers, a camera and a television broadcast system. It looks like this place is going to be an open-air press conference.
After another half hour, several cars and cars pulled a group of people over. Several cameramen watched as the machines were aimed at the convoy.
An officer stepped forward and opened the door of the car. Zhou Qingfeng, who was in military uniform, stepped out of the car. Behind him was Rachel, who was wearing black clothes and a white flower on her chest.
The legion commander was tall and straight, and the married woman was dignified and elegant. The two of them walked towards the venue at a slow speed, half a step apart. The cameraman captured the two of them in the same frame and captured every step.
After Zhou Qingfeng, dozens more people walked down. Among them were men and women, old and young, soldiers, scholars, workers, and farmers. They had different clothes, different skin colors, and all races.
Under the dark ruins of the nuclear explosion, the whole scene is solemn and solemn. In the camera lens, a large nuclear explosion crater with a diameter of one kilometer in the distance is used as the background. The glazed bottom of the crater is more than a hundred meters deep, huge and terrifying, like hell.
's entrance.
There are various ruins around the venue. There are almost no buildings taller than two or three meters. There are only bricks and various remains on the ground. It is three or four kilometers away from the center of the nuclear explosion, and it is also the area that was hardest hit.
.
More than half a million people died in these ruins, their remains lying on the ground in various postures. Some had only a few remaining bones, while others were brittle and charred bodies.
Zhou Qingfeng walked with his head held high and his chest high, still fearless, but Rachel walked with great difficulty. Every time the woman landed, she was trembling with fear. She accidentally bumped into a fallen corpse. The corpse fell apart with a snap, and her body was tangled.
Ashes and skulls rolling around.
Rachel, who seemed to be walking in hell, screamed and grabbed Zhou Qingfeng's arm, with tears in her eyes. Zhou Qingfeng looked back, patted the woman's hand gently, and the two of them walked hand in hand with each other.
.
The group of people walked to the venue and took their seats quietly one by one. Lena Fox took the stage first, cleared her throat and said in a slightly hoarse tone of grief: "Everyone, we are gathered here today to mourn the death of someone here.
Millions of innocent dead souls.
Just five days ago, a nuclear bomb dropped from the sky and destroyed the city, taking the lives of countless residents in the city. When I learned about this, my heart collapsed. I never thought that our enemies would
They were so cruel that they actually committed such atrocious crimes.
Before coming to the meeting, I originally wanted to make a long speech to accuse the Enclave of being despicable, cowardly, and shameless. But when I saw this city that had been reduced to ruins and the countless bones piled up in the ruins, I felt so moved.
Anger doesn’t allow me to talk nonsense. I just want to say – revenge!”
The words are simple and direct, full of despair and resentment. Miss Fox is really angry this time - I will never be merciful if you dare to destroy my city!
Lina, as the government representative, went down, and soon an old man in a wheelchair came on stage. He held on to the podium and tried to stand up straight, and said tremblingly into the microphone: "I am Professor Wilson from the Academy of Natural Sciences of the Aurora Corps, and I and my
The students came from Europe, and it was the Legion that saved us at the last moment.
In this chaotic world, it is full of careerists and executioners, and we scholars cannot even guarantee our basic survival. A large amount of science, technology and data are in an endangered state, and the Legion has worked hard to save it all.
But in my opinion, science is everything. The Academy of Natural Sciences of the Legion in Havana preserves valuable information from all over the world. This place was supposed to be developed into a Garden of Eden to revitalize the world.
But now a nuclear bomb has destroyed the supercomputer in the Academy of Sciences and destroyed all the information stored in it. It’s over, it’s over, the accumulation of human civilization has been wiped out. This crime is unforgivable!”
Next, representatives from business, industry, agriculture and even students took the stage to accuse the Enclave of atrocities against Havana. Everyone strongly demanded that the Legion punish the enemy severely and never forgive.
At the end, it was Rachel who was the representative of the allies who came on stage. But the married woman stood on the stage but kept crying in front of the camera, with a complicated expression on her face, so sobbing that she couldn't even say a complete sentence. She was stunned.
Just by crying, you can express everything and make everyone feel the same.
Rachel stood on the stage and cried for three or four minutes, until Zhou Qingfeng stepped forward and patted her back gently, then slowly helped her down and handed her over to Lina to take care of her. He returned to the stage by himself
In front, face the camera directly.
Compared with other narrators who were angry, sad, or miserable, the appearance of the legion commander was shocking. As soon as he came on stage, the atmosphere of the whole venue was different. He was bold, fearless, and strong, and it gave people a feeling of excitement!
The footage of the venue is not a video. The Aurora Legion has a complete set of television recording and broadcasting equipment. It can broadcast live TV programs to the world without satellites. At this moment, all people paying attention to Havana see a confident and unyielding leader.
.
"Before you listen to me, I want to show you something first." Zhou Qingfeng waved his hand, and someone immediately pushed up a large virtual screen. In the environment of nuclear explosion ruins, a giant screen appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
.
The picture showed an open space, and on the empty space was a huge missile that had been erected. As soon as this picture appeared, everyone at the scene was shocked. People watching the broadcast around the world were even more shocked. Everyone thought that today was a live broadcast.
The commemorative activities are more formal than actual. But now...
This missile does not look that advanced. It is transported by a trailer and requires special erection equipment and temporary fueling. But there is no doubt that it is a ballistic missile. Judging from the size of the missile body, its range is not far or short.
Everyone was silent... Zhou Qingfeng spoke again: "I am not here to pray for peace today, because I have already prayed for it. When I told the enemy that I was not powerless to fight back, all I got was the enemy's ridicule and
A nuclear bomb dropped from the sky.
I am not here to win sympathy, because sympathy for the weak is worthless. It cannot punish the enemy or hurt the enemy. It will only make me self-defeating and become a laughing stock.
When I led the legion to Havana after going through all kinds of difficulties, I knew that I would only face bigger and stronger opponents. I knew that I had to be prepared and have the confidence to fight to the death with a powerful enemy.
Standing in this dangerous world.
But I still underestimated the stupidity and greed of my opponents. When we keep giving in, compromising, and showing that we love peace, what do we get?
We are looked down upon by others, we are seen as easy bullies, and we are seen as weak scum that can be manipulated at will. When we work hard to give the enemy a heroic blow, the enemy becomes angry and wants to completely destroy us.
As of today, we have no retreat.
The world is so big, but we no longer have our own home.
Civilization has lasted for a long time, but we have no room to survive.
What should we do... huddle together and wait for the enemy to let us go?
No……!
In the face of the cruel enemy who has no conscience, we must let the whole world know that we will never give in, we will never be afraid, we will never retreat, and we have the ability and determination to die with the enemy."
As soon as Zhou Qingfeng finished speaking, an officer who stood at attention and reported appeared on the virtual screen. He shouted in a roaring voice: "Your Excellency, Army Commander, the 'Dongfeng-3' missile has been fueled and loaded with three 100,000-ton nuclear warheads.
Target set for enemy capital Houston. Request launch now!"
Everyone at the scene was horrified. No one expected that the Aurora Legion would retaliate so soon, and it would also be a tit-for-tat nuclear strike.
Another nuclear bomb?!
Rachel, who had just calmed down, stretched out her hand suddenly in horror, and shouted "Victor" to Zhou Qingfeng. But Lina beside her held her tightly, preventing her from running forward.
Zhou Qingfeng's eyes were full of rage at this moment, and he shouted with all his strength: "For the sake of the aurora, the launch is allowed!"
emission……!
emission…………!
emission………………!
On the virtual screen, flames slowly erupted from the tail of the erected missile. The missile slowly rose off the ground and continued to accelerate. Raging flames spurted out, and the missile flew higher and higher, straight into the sky!
