Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1174 There is no other way, let’s poison
In the next few minutes, the sky seemed to be torn apart, and more nuclear warheads, like angry hammers of gods, burst into deadly and terrifying light in the sky above Kyoto.

Every explosion is not just a feast of fire and light, but also a shock to the depths of the earth, as if the earth's crust itself is wailing and trembling, trying to escape from this catastrophe created by human hands.

At the moment of the nuclear explosion, light radiation spreads in all directions like an invisible wave at supersonic speed, turning everything it touches into nothingness.

Immediately afterwards, the shock wave swept through the city with destructive force like a violent beast. The buildings collapsed under the tremendous pressure, turning into rubble and dust, and raising black fog in the sky.

These black mists are intertwined with the radioactive dust produced by nuclear bomb explosions, forming a doomsday picture.

The sky of Kyoto is no longer as blue and peaceful as it used to be, but is now filled with mushroom clouds that keep rising.

These mushroom clouds have various shapes. Some are as tall as giant towers rising into the clouds, while others are like distorted dreams, slowly spreading their wings of death.

They emitted a strange light, which was the terrifying energy released by nuclear fission, flickering in the clouds, like messengers of death, coldly and ruthlessly announcing the coming of doomsday.

Occasionally, lightning and thunder can be seen at the edge of the clouds. That is the electromagnetic pulse caused by the nuclear explosion and the natural lightning intertwined to weave this doomsday symphony.

In this land baptized by nuclear fire, millions of predators, those monsters that once plunged humans into endless fear and despair, now also met their end.

These monsters seem so small and fragile in the face of the absolute power of nuclear bombs.

With every explosion, groups of predators could be seen being instantly vaporized by the high temperature or torn into pieces by the shock wave, turning into bloody debris scattered in every corner of the city.

The air was filled with a pungent smell of burning and blood, it was the smell of life disappearing, it made people shudder.

However, in this seemingly completely destroyed land, the power of nuclear bombs, although shocking, is not omnipotent.

Especially for the larger creatures, the nest beasts, the nuclear bomb strikes did not cause the expected devastating damage.

The Nest Beast, this huge organism, has an extremely tough body structure and even has a certain degree of regenerative ability.

When a nuclear bomb explodes, the extremely high temperature flames and terrifying shock waves are truly terrifying.

However, for the nest behemoths, these attacks can only briefly burn their surface tissues, but cannot penetrate into their core and completely destroy their life activities.

As the initial explosion light gradually dissipated, people were surprised to find that although the surface of the nest beasts was covered with burns and cracks, they were still wriggling, trying to repair the damaged parts.

Those limbs that were melted by the high temperature seemed to be growing again at an astonishing speed driven by some mysterious force.

The scars that were originally falling apart are now covered by new tissues and become intact.

"What kind of monster is this? So many nuclear bombs have been launched, but they can't cause any damage to it?"

The whole of America was shocked. Even though the killing power of a nuclear bomb only lasted for a moment, it was not something that ordinary things could withstand.

One nuclear bomb cannot completely disintegrate a scrapped battleship, but this is a thousand nuclear bombs!
A thousand nuclear bombs, what a number! It was enough to flatten the entire city several times, but it only caused some charring and cracking on the skin of the giant beast, and these scars were quickly repaired by the cells constantly surging on the surface of the giant beast's body.

"Didn't the radiation contamination from the dirty bomb affect it?" someone asked.

A dirty bomb is a weapon that combines nuclear fission material and conventional explosives. Although its power is not as strong as a pure nuclear weapon, the radiation pollution it produces is extremely deadly and can last for decades or even hundreds of years, causing long-term damage to organisms.

However, when scientists monitored the radiation levels around the behemoth, they found that the radiation seemed to have no effect on the behemoth.

Facing the nest beast, the radiation from the dirty bomb seemed to have only given it a layer of strange fluorescent coat. Not only did it not weaken its vitality, but it made the beast look even more hideous.

Not only did the giant beast not become weakened by the radiation, but it seemed even more energetic. In particular, the countless holes on its body once again spewed out thousands of predatory creatures, which was unbelievable for the Americans.

If thousands of nuclear bombs fail to kill them, then they have no other options.

This is more than America can handle.

"We underestimated the thickness of the monster's surface tissue, and most of the power of the nuclear bomb was wasted."

A military expert came to this conclusion after analysis.

Although the nuclear bomb was detonated after approaching the giant beast, the power of the nuclear bomb was greatly dispersed and weakened due to the unimaginable thickness and density of the giant beast's body surface.

The energy that was enough to destroy a city was like being absorbed by a huge sponge in front of the behemoth, causing no substantial damage.

"Should we use a bunker-buster? But a bunker-buster can't hurt it at all with such a large body."

The idea of ​​using a bunker-buster was raised, but was quickly rejected.

Although bunker-buster bombs can penetrate deep underground to strike targets, for this huge behemoth, even the most powerful bunker-buster bomb can only leave a shallow mark on its skin and cannot reach its internal core structure at all.

"What about biological weapons? Can chemical weapons that can poison and kill countless organisms have any effect on them?"

Radicals within America began to propose more extreme measures.

Although these voices are radical, they are not without reason - as conventional weapons have become ineffective one after another, people have begun to turn their attention to those strictly controlled and little-known biological and chemical weapons.

As a technological power, America's level of research and development of biological weapons should not be underestimated. From the refrigerated containers deep in the laboratory, a series of terrifying names have been awakened one by one. They were the products of secret research and development during the Cold War, but now they may become the last hope against the behemoth.

VX nerve gas - this colorless and odorless gas is known as the "invisible killer."

Its molecular structure is extremely stable and it maintains its toxicity even in extreme environments.

VX nerve gas acts on the central nervous system of an organism. Even a trace amount is enough to cause severe nerve spasms, ultimately leading to respiratory failure and death.
