"Use nuclear weapons!"
In a secret military base, an old man with gray hair roared.
Everyone in the entire military base could clearly see the tragic situation in that city through satellite images. Now that it had become like that, they naturally had no other worries.
"But the use of nuclear weapons requires... Do you want to contact..."
Someone nearby retorted softly.
"Launch now, launch now!"
The gray-haired old man roared harshly, and as he spoke, he was already in front of the screen.
On the screen, the huge monster was growing rapidly. It was only a thousand meters long just now, but now it has reached two thousand meters.
You know, it's only been a few minutes.
What's even more frightening is that it is still multiplying at an alarming rate, and dozens of truck-sized bugs have appeared in the ruins.
Seeing this scene, his pupils kept shrinking and the hairs all over his body stood up.
Then, regardless of what others thought, he rushed directly to the launch pad and pressed launch.
In an instant, a huge nuclear bomb soared into the sky and shot into the distance.
But the nuclear weapon military base was not as dense as other bases. The nuclear bomb flew for a full five minutes before reaching the vicinity of the monster.
At this time, the huge insect had grown to a height of three thousand meters, and was as huge as a mountain!
Seeing the nuclear bomb approaching, the giant insect suddenly let out a scream, and the extremely penetrating sound waves instantly spread to all directions, turning everything in its path into powder.
Even the shell of the nuclear bomb twisted instantly.
Boom!
A huge mushroom cloud steamed up, and the nuclear bomb exploded thousands of meters away from the giant insect. The terrifying impact knocked the giant insect back a few steps, and then it fell to the ground.
What followed was terrifying high temperatures and deadly radiation.
However, these did not seem to have much impact on the giant insects, but the small insects melted under the high temperature.
"hiss!"
After standing up, the giant insect neighed again, and then ran towards another city.
…
This scene was clearly seen by leaders of various countries around the world.
In just one minute, leaders from various countries held a video conference.
"What should we do? It's time for big countries like you to stand up!" A leader of a small country said in panic.
"According to computer modeling, this monster can grow to the point of destroying the earth within an hour."
"What? An hour? Even our planes can't fly there in an hour!"
"In fact, the time given to us is only twenty minutes, because after twenty minutes, it will grow to a stage where it is completely unafraid of nuclear weapons."
As soon as these words came out, all the leaders fell silent.
But only a few seconds later, someone said: "Don't think about it. Now, immediately, with the monster as the center, within a radius of 500,000 kilometers, the nuclear weapons of all nuclear weapon bases will be launched at the same time, bombing the monster, but it will not succeed. Then you will become benevolent.”
"But if you do this... half of the continent will be destroyed... hundreds of millions of people will die..."
"Shut up! I've given the order!"
"As for... the residents living in that land, let them know through various media, so that they... can return to their families in the last ten or twenty minutes of their lives... "
At this point, the voice choked up, and then the sound of crying began to appear one after another in the video conference.
But the order was still passed on, and at this moment, the world and the country reached a consensus.
That was to destroy the monster at all costs, and it was less than twenty minutes before the monster appeared.
…
A moment later, a video suddenly appeared on a huge billboard of a landmark building in a city in northern China.
It was a video of an old man in military uniform with a solemn expression bending down and bowing.
"Everyone must have heard about the monster's appearance through the news. Since time is urgent, I will keep it short.
You have less than twenty minutes to live now. In order to ensure that the earth is not destroyed, the higher-ups have decided to use nuclear bombs to cover it.
That monster can grow to the point where a nuclear bomb cannot destroy it in twenty minutes, so this is the only way, and when the time comes, you will be affected without exception.
This is no joke, I'm sorry.
Also, don’t panic, don’t riot, don’t waste the last twenty minutes of your life on unnecessary things.
If the earth can escape this disaster, history will remember you. "
In addition to the huge screen, this video was also spread through all other channels.
People in hundreds of cities across half of the continent soon knew the news.
Soon hundreds of cities were in panic.
But the panic disappeared soon after, because all the screens changed to the monster that was growing rapidly.
Looking at the ferocious image and listening to the sharp neighing sound, most people quickly accepted the reality.
Some ordinary people who were close to their homes put down their work and rushed home quickly.
As for those who were far away and couldn't make it back, they took out their mobile phones and computers to make video calls with their families.
…
In the corner of the city, a homeless man in dirty clothes raised his head and looked at the huge monster on the screen of the skyscraper in the distance. He sighed softly, then sat quietly on the side of the road and picked up the monster that had been accompanying him all this time. stray dog.
People were coming and going, but the traffic policeman still hadn't left his job and was still directing the vehicles rushing home.
Looking at the vehicles and pedestrians, the homeless man's eyes were filled with confusion.
He lost something like home a long time ago. What should he do in the last twenty minutes of his life
Woo woo woo…
At this moment, the stray dog in his arms stuck out its tongue and gently licked his face.
The homeless man lowered his head and looked at the big black dog, which was about as thin as him, dirty, and with friendly eyes. He was slightly startled, then suddenly laughed, and hugged the big black dog tighter.
An urgent voice came from behind.
"If you have nothing to do, come in and have a good meal! Eat whatever you want, damn! I'm in a hurry to go home!"
…
On the other side, in one of the top villas in the city, an old man was lying quietly on an armchair, looking at the blue sky.
A middle-aged man in a straight suit next to him looked at such a leisurely old man and said eagerly: "Chairman, the helicopter has been prepared for you! Please board the plane quickly!"
"Hey, Xiao Li, what's the use? It's too late."
The old man shook his chair and glanced at the mobile phone next to him.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man stamped his feet bitterly, turned around and rushed towards the tarmac not far away.
As he walked forward, the cell phone next to the old man rang.
Seeing the familiar number, the old man smiled and pressed the answer button.
"Dad, I heard that something happened to you! In these last few minutes, would you please explain your will?"
Upon hearing this, the old man's smile suddenly froze, and the recliner stopped shaking.
The person on the phone is still talking to himself.
"Dad, please speak quickly. I have contributed a lot to this company. I should be given 50% of the shares, right?"
well…
With a long sigh, the old man hung up the phone, his eyes a little confused. The huge villa was like a huge cage at the moment, making him breathless.
After a few seconds, the phone rang again. The old man saw that it was a video invitation.
After choosing to accept it, two half-year-old dolls, a boy and a girl, were crying with snot and tears in the video. These were his grandson and granddaughter who were traveling abroad.
His daughter wept secretly behind the two dolls.
"Grandpa, you don't want to die!"
Although the child's words were straightforward, the old man had a kind smile on his face.
"It's okay. Grandpa is getting old, and this life is worth it. From now on, you should live a good life and listen to your mother."
"no, do not want!"
The grandson's face was full of tears, and he was holding a transformer toy in his hand. No matter how he shook it, the transformer had no reaction.
Seeing this scene, the corners of the old man's eyes were slightly moist.
In this huge villa, he once thought he had everything, but at this time, he knew what true ownership meant.
Fortunately, although I was a little embarrassed just now, I didn't leave with nothing.
