Infinite people, start speedrunning

Chapter 46: Controversy and Secrets

"boom!"

Fang Ge stood on the eaves of the warehouse, feeling the breeze and squinting his eyes at the fireworks in the distance.

Even though it was 600 kilometers away, the mushroom cloud of the nuclear explosion was still so spectacular and dazzling that it made the starry sky lose its color.

As the first country in the world to use nuclear weapons in war, Moldy probably never dreamed that one day he would inexplicably become a victim of such a weapon.

As the umbrella for the scapegoat, they would never have expected that a group of [Beehive Security] personnel in the archives would actually possess such [lethal weapons].

What is the concept of a nuclear bomb with a TNT equivalent of 15000 tons?

At the moment of the explosion, a large amount of energy is converted into heat energy, and the temperature at the center of the nuclear explosion can be close to that of the core of the sun!
The wind speed at the center is equivalent to 10 times that of a level 12 typhoon, which can trigger extremely strong shock waves and air waves. The wind pressure is equivalent to applying a 350-ton weight to an area within one square meter.

As the supersonic wind and shock wave spread outward, it was enough to destroy anything within a radius of one kilometer except reinforced concrete structures!

The military base no longer exists, only craters and scorched earth remain, telling of everything that has happened here.
not to mention……

The explosion was just the beginning; nuclear contamination would settle here. Even if ten or twenty years had passed, this wasteland would still be impossible to develop and utilize.

This became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

This was the worst terrorist attack the United States had ever experienced. Furthermore, this time, the terrorists actually dared to attack the United States' national defense and military bases!
The main culprit, Umbrella, even publicly threatened on major television channels that it would use biological weapons to cleanse the world!
Just twenty minutes ago, Umbrella was implicated in illegal biological weapons trafficking, human experimentation, and unethical human cloning...

It has just been exposed on the Internet.

Before the government agencies could come to hold them accountable, Umbrella actually dared to preemptively drop a nuclear bomb!
The President and his fellow legislators no longer have time to worry about whether this makes sense.

It all seemed like a childish joke. A mere biopharmaceutical company actually dared to threaten to destroy the world...

But things have already happened tonight, and Umbrella is clearly slapping the whole world in the face!

Hegemonism must now mobilize troops to give an explanation to the world.

After all, cracking down on gangs and eliminating evil still requires evidence, but counter-terrorism only requires a list.

Fang Ge jumped back into the room and found that Chu Xuan was processing all kinds of information at a high speed.

The man with glasses narrated calmly:
"The U.S. government has held a press conference to respond to this matter."

"A military base was destroyed by nuclear weapons, and thousands of soldiers were reduced to dust. A country where everyone is in danger demands a strong [explanation]."

"Officials have stated that they will suppress this terrorist act with force as quickly as possible, and the entire country has been placed on a Level 3 combat readiness status to respond to all possible threats."

"In short, the Umbrella executives outside—or the [clones]—will definitely be contained immediately. This is a good thing for us. The clones think they are the [originals], and they act no differently than those cowardly capitalists frozen in time."

"Capitalists certainly don't want to be hung on the streetlights. They will actively cooperate to save their own lives."

"Property was confiscated, senior executives were shot and arrested. Not to mention the frontline workers... The top-down order of protection collapsed, and the business empire disintegrated in an instant."

"It sounds like... a lot of people will die." Zheng Zha found that he was not excited about this.

He felt heavy-hearted that he had dragged so many innocent people into the process of completing his mission.

But he soon felt that he was hypocritical because he had previously thought that this was a pleasant action and did not say anything to stop it.

No one in Middle-earth likes mold, but mold is indeed a form of life.

"You think they are innocent?"

Fang Ge patted Zheng Zha on the shoulder. He knew that Zheng Zha's love for humans was playing tricks on him again.

"Although this is a perverse theory, I still want to say it."

"If we allow Umbrella's conspiracy to continue, in the end, only a few thousand people will be left in the world." "This is a case of... righteous sacrifice of the few to save the many. Therefore, we have saved more people, and the beneficiaries have no right to accuse us of [helplessness]."

Zhan Lan puffed up his cheeks and said, "From what you said, we are still partners of justice and heroes? What a twisted logic..."

She is not so kind as to care about innocent people, but she will not flaunt the correctness of her actions either.

"No, I'm not saying this to excuse anything."

Fang Ge, who had always been cynical, showed a rare serious expression at this moment: "It is precisely because of the perverse logic I said that I hate reality and like to indulge in games..."

Zhan Lan was a little hesitant to look directly at Fang Ge's face. She realized that there might be some unknown story behind this.

If this is true, it would seem that my remarks are somewhat offensive to Fang Ge.

At this time, Jin Xi gently pulled Fang Ge's sleeve, reminding him not to take these things to heart.

—I'm a little confused. This is just a game, and I'm actually arguing with an NPC about something real...

Fang Ge took a deep breath to calm his restless heart.

"There's more to this world than right or wrong. We should prioritize the interests of the team."

Chu Xuan spoke at the right time and calmly put an end to the matter.

——I can actually see Chu Xuan become the "Rope Twister" one day.

"Yeah...what should we do next?" Zheng Zha laughed.

Fang Ge quickly regained his speedrunning form and ordered:

"Let's get ready and wait for James and Alice to recover... Our plan remains unchanged. We'll head to the Hive, kill the mastermind, and put an end to all this."

After replacing the magazines and weapons and replacing the broken exoskeleton with spare ones, everyone was ready to go, and their combat power returned to its peak.

It was at this moment that Alice, who had been drugged by Chu Xuan, woke up.

Seeing the recovered pursuer beside her, she suddenly jumped up and took a fighting stance like a cheetah.

"It's me...James."

James pointed his big finger at his forehead, and the scene looked a little funny.

"Really you?"

When Alice received this shocking news, she immediately put aside her search for the cause of the coma.

"Where are Kaplan, JD, and the others? They're not with us..."

"You've been in a daze for so long, and now you're trying to communicate with us... It seems like you've slowly gotten used to your body."

Fang Ge casually stretched out his hand towards James to express his [recognition] of him.

……

"I can't shake your hand. I'm worried..."

James didn't reach out in response, but just stood up awkwardly.

"I don't know what happened to you, but I also want to go back to the hive."

"Kaplan and the others, I'm afraid they won't be doing well..."
