477 The Culprit Behind the Tsunami
Everyone looked at each other in shock.
Wu Mo had already forgotten how many emergency meetings they had.
The sea monsters were running amok, and the old chief was in a terrible state.
Whether it was in terms of size or killing intent, the new monsters were not inferior to the golden-scaled monsters. In fact, they were even stronger.
As he had not fought with the new monsters, he had no idea how powerful they were.
“Chief, I suggest that we use a nuclear submarine to destroy the nest. It won’t matter what monsters are hidden inside; they’ll all be turned into dust!”
An officer made the final suggestion. Perhaps this was the best way to solve the crisis.
However, the use of nuclear bombs would inevitably lead to many problems, such as the destruction of the fishing industry and environmental pollution.
The old chief hesitated for a long time before he tapped his fingers on the table. Everyone waited quietly for a decision.
“Destroying the nest with a nuclear bomb will definitely cause global opposition—”
The old chief was full of worry. In fact, he wanted to settle this once and for all too.
Wu Mo suddenly interrupted. “Chief, don’t mind what the others say. A nuclear bomb is the only way to get rid of the threat. With the nest gone, this crisis will be nipped in the bud!”
“Yes, Chief! Wu Mo’s right. The sea monster crisis should be our first priority. Other concerns should be put aside!” another officer echoed.
The old chief remained silent for a moment before he finally nodded. “In that case, let’s use the nuclear bombs!”
The old chief was exhausted, and he was yearning for some good sleep.
Now that he had decided to solve the problem with a nuclear bomb, he felt less burdened.
The nuclear submarine carried the nuclear bomb and dived five thousand meters into the sea before it locked onto the monster nest.
Wu Mo and the others understood that the nuclear explosion would destroy the Heart of the Ocean as well.
Although the Heart of the Ocean was equipped with protective devices, it could not withstand the power of a nuclear bomb.
Huge waves would also rise across the sea, so ships were prohibited from approaching the surrounding waters.
The coastal cities needed to prepare for tsunamis as well. After all, a nuclear explosion at the bottom of the sea could trigger volcanic eruptions and other chain disasters.
Everyone was extremely nervous as they held their breaths and focused.
The nuclear bomb disappeared into the depths of the nest, and everyone counted the seconds in their hearts.
Ten seconds later, an earth-shattering boom resounded throughout the seabed!
Kaboom!
The scene fell into chaos, and water splashed everywhere violently. No one could see what was happening in the nest. The screen then became snowy as if it was damaged.
The terrifying explosive force instantly turned the underwater creatures into steam. Huge sharks, as well as whales, were disintegrated in an instant, and they disappeared without a trace. The temperature at the center of the explosion was high enough to melt metal.
As time passed, the area around the nest turned into nothingness. The underwater nest, the foundation, and the mountain range were all razed to the ground. At this moment, the nuclear submarine was no longer capturing any images. Everyone in the command center was convinced that the underwater nest had been completely destroyed and the creatures in the nest had turned into dust!
“Everyone, we’ve finally resolved the sea monster crisis!” an officer announced with a smile, and those in the room heaved a sigh of relief. Wu Mo saw that the Heart of the Ocean had been destroyed. The shockwave from the nuclear explosion had eviscerated its defensive mechanisms and damaged the core. As such, the Heart of the Ocean had lost its.
It was difficult to repair it, but Wu Mo had no intentions of doing so. The sea monsters’ nest had been destroyed, and only a few monsters were left drifting in the sea. They posed little threat to humans at this point. All they needed to do was prevent those sea monsters from attacking the coastal cities!
Unfortunately, while everyone believed that things had calmed down, the port in Haidong City along China’s coast was suddenly hit by a terrifying tsunami!
“What?! A tsunami? How is this possible?” Haidong City hasn’t experienced a tsunami for several years.” When the Meteorology Department received the news, they were all shocked.
They did not detect signs of a tsunami earlier, so they needed to mobilize the military to deal with this disaster.
The high-ranking military officers received the order and rushed to the rescue.
Houses collapsed and facilities were damaged as the scene was cleaned up urgently and the injured were treated.
Grief flashed in Wu Mo’s eyes. When he learned of this sudden tsunami, he could not help but feel extremely emotional.
Was nature finally showing its wrath? In the face of such power, humans seemed so insignificant!
Emergency rescue work quickly began, and the people united at this moment as if they were forming a powerful force.
Everyone was in pain because they had lost their loved ones, but they knew that they would rise from the ashes after this disaster. They would build better homes, establish stronger beliefs, and work harder for their future.
Disasters were merciless, but humans were sentimental. On top of that, the sudden tsunami caught the Meteorology Department off guard.
Despite the heavy blow, people still had firm gazes and resolute expressions amidst the chaotic environment by the port. They tried their best to treat the injured and save the properties that had been washed away.
However, at this moment, a few hundred meters away from the shore, huge waves rolled and surged. They eventually converged into one monstrous wave that pounced straight at the humans.
The people cried out in horror, “D*mn it! The tsunami isn’t over yet? How is this possible?”
The impact of the aftershock was unheard of and unbelievable.
It flipped all research of tsunamis in the past decades or even centuries on its head.
They thought that they were just unlucky. Even so, they never expected such a terrifying aftershock.
At this moment, the second tsunami was about to arrive. Everyone was caught off guard, and they could not respond effectively.
People were trying their best to save everything that had been hurt by the first tsunami.
In the end, they were taken by surprise and annihilated by the second tsunami.
Wu Mo frowned and said in self-reproach, “I was careless, I was really careless. Before taking action, I should’ve considered all possibilities. Instead, I was so preoccupied with the tsunami disaster that I neglected other things.”
The second tsunami was even more devastating. More than half of Haidong City was destroyed.
Due to the attack from two successive tsunamis, the people’s hearts became extremely heavy.
At this point, no one spoke. Everyone was shocked by the terrifying tsunami, and they felt uneasy.
This was a major event that affected the entire country, and everyone was paying close attention to it.
However, before the special organizations could react, a huge sea monster slowly surfaced dozens of miles away from Haidong City’s coastal port.
Its head was shaped like an inverted triangle, and it had a pair of diamond-shaped eyes that were extremely cold. Its entire body was as cold and hard as metal.
Its huge body had largely left the surface of the water. Only its several pairs of huge feet and wings were floating slowly on the surface while it was gliding forward.
Overall, it resembled a terrifying six-winged mantis!
“The sea monster has appeared! The sea monster has appeared again!”
Everyone was panicking. They screamed and fled in desperation.
Right then, no one was thinking about the buildings destroyed by the tsunami anymore. They all knew that if they did not escape now, they would be goners!
Suddenly, the huge six-winged mantis waved its arms and slashed at the sea when it was ten nautical miles away.
The terrifying force of this strike formed two huge vortexes behind its wings, which spun rapidly and danced wildly.
The whirlpool grew bigger and bigger. Soon, a huge wave rose and turned into a third terrifying tsunami!
“D*mn it! So this guy’s responsible for the tsunamis?”
Wu Mo widened his eyes in realization.
This also explained why the previous tsunami had escaped the Meteorology Department’s detection. It was not a natural tsunami but a monster’s creation.
Under such circumstances, how could the Meteorology Department make accurate predictions?
