Chapter 652: The Terrifying Outcome!Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“G.o.d!” The people from the Merika Weather Bureau were scared silly. They had seen storms before, but it was their first time seeing one that was so powerful, its destination so obvious.
“What… what do we do?” In such a situation, no one knew what to do.
Such a horrible storm was beyond everyone"s imagination.
“Sound the alert!” The Bureau Chief of the Weather Bureau collapsed on the chair. “The highest level, Black Alert!”
Dali Storm was still growing!
It was already forty kilometers in diameter and still growing!
It was like an animal that had eaten Dali beans. Its growth exceeded everyone"s imagination. That was not all, even its target was clear beyond anyone"s imagination—it moved as it grew, and it was heading straight for the three aircraft carrier strike groups that were approaching the Heavenly State for their military exercise!
Forty kilometers in diameter… sixty kilometers…
Still growing!
Eighty kilometers… one hundred kilometers…
Unstoppable!
One hundred and twenty kilometers… one hundred and fifty kilometers!
Finally, two hundred kilometers!
Apocalypse!
On the Pacific Ocean.
A sailor standing on the deck tapped his companion"s shoulder. “The sea seems a little bit different today. Did you realize that the sky is much darker than usual? We can"t even see the moon in the sky.”
His companion said, “Yes, and the waves seem exceptionally big today. Do you smell the extra heavy scent of moisture in the air today?”
“Of course, something seems wrong today.” The sailor looked into the distance and quickly saw the problem. “Look, sharks! A group of sharks! They seem to be running away. G.o.d, I have never seen so many sharks in my life!”
His companion looked in the direction he pointed and soon saw sharks rus.h.i.+ng away in groups in the sea. There seemed to be tens of thousands of them!
“What… what is this situation…” The sailor was stunned.
Something bad had happened if things were going strangely. Animals in nature were often very sensitive to danger. They were so desperately trying to escape. Could it be that there was something very dangerous ahead?
The carrier"s s.h.i.+p island.
The captain was sitting in his office chair leisurely smoking a cigar, not worried at all about this military exercise—before they reached the waters of the Heavenly State, there would definitely be no problems. Therefore, his mental state was very relaxed. Unfortunately, such a leisurely moment would soon come to an end…
“Captain, bad… bad news!” A navy soldier ran into the office in a panic. He did not even knock before entering. When he saw the captain, he immediately shouted, “Captain, the Weather Bureau just sent news. There is a typhoon ahead! A very strong typhoon!”
“What? Typhoon?” As the captain of an aircraft carrier, he was very clear about the power of a typhoon. He jumped up and asked urgently, “Where is the typhoon, how far is it from us?”
“It is still five hundred nautical miles away,” replied the soldier, who was sweating profusely.
“You scared me to death.” The captain let out a long sigh of relief. “Five hundred nautical miles is still enough for us to react. Instruct the men to project the path of the typhoon and avoid it.”
Five hundred nautical miles. Even if their reaction was slow, it was still far enough away for them to avoid it. As the captain of the aircraft carrier, he had to be able to remain calm.
“But… but…” The soldier was close to collapse. “The typhoon is moving too fast, and the diameter is too big. I am afraid… we won"t be able to avoid it…”
“Fast? How fast?” The captain suddenly felt anxious after hearing what the soldier said. “Do you have detailed information?!”
“Roughly… five hundred kilometers!” The soldier gulped. His face was scared pale. “If the diameter is two hundred and twenty kilometers, it means that it will hit us in little more than an hour…”
“Plop…” The captain sat down heavily. He was so scared he was trembling. He muttered, “Fin… finished… we are done for…”
A speed of five hundred kilometers per hour, how could it be? To put it simply, a general airplane could fly at a speed of about 800 kilometers per hour. It took about three and a half hours to fly from Ningliao Province of the Heavenly State to Nanyun Province, a distance of two thousand and five hundred kilometers.
This typhoon would take five hours to travel from Ningliao to Nanyun.
At this speed, they would not be able to escape it even if they drove a car at two hundred miles an hour, not to mention an aircraft carrier that traveled at thirty nautical miles per hour.
This was just the speed of the typhoon. If they considered its diameter…
More than two hundred and twenty kilometers, what was this?!
Ningliao Province was just slightly more than four hundred kilometers from east to west…
In other words, the diameter of Dali Storm was as big as half as Ningliao Province!
It wasn"t long before everyone onboard the Merikan aircraft carrier strike group saw the huge storm that joined the sea to the skies.
The sea roared and the waves rolled. Clouds covered the sky, and the night was so dark it was impossible to see fingers right in front of your face. However, in the distance, about thirty or forty kilometers away from them, they were able to see clearly a huge typhoon that looked like giant pillars propping the skies up. It rushed straight towards them.
For as far as they could see in the dark night, it was impossible to see the empty s.p.a.ce on both sides of the typhoon. All they could see was the front of the big typhoon. The sea was rolling and the waves soaring. Horrible waves that were close to hundreds of meters high were rolling straight at them.
In the three aircraft carrier strike groups sent out by Merika for the military exercise, the aircraft carrier itself was already more than three hundred meters long. It was huge enough to be termed colossal.
Now, in the face of the huge typhoon, they were as weak as ants next to an elephant"s legs.
A super huge whirlpool had already formed in the sea because of Dali Storm. At that moment, they finally understood how insignificant a human"s strength was when compared with the power of nature.
The two sides quickly collided.
Just one wall of the storm swept up all the small boats in the three aircraft carrier strike groups. Wind speeds of more than one hundred meters per second swept the smaller boats high up into the sky in an instant. They were spun upwards, and in the time it took to take a few breaths, they were more than five hundred meters above the ground!
The storm was getting angrier, and they rose faster and faster.
At the very end, the upward movement of the s.h.i.+p momentarily stopped. The people on board the s.h.i.+p who were still alive saw an unforgettable sight.
They broke through the cloud cover, and what appeared before their eyes was the limitless universe.
It was a pity that they could only take one look. After that, they saw nothing more….
The three aircraft carriers were the last to be lifted up into the sky.
These huge carriers which were tens or even hundreds of thousands of tons were as fragile as newborn babies in the face of the horrifying storm.
All the planes on the aircraft carrier were swept up. The aircraft carrier itself was also swept up.
They really flew.
On the funnel of Dali Storm, which had a diameter of more than two hundred kilometers, the three aircraft carriers spiraled up and then were thrown to an alt.i.tude of more than five thousand meters. Finally, because there was no wind in the eye of the storm, they dropped straight down…
At 2:22 AM on September 12, 2014, the three Merikan aircraft carrier strike groups that were preparing to partic.i.p.ate in the military exercise were completely destroyed.
The entire Merikan military was completely shocked by this matter. However, it was clear that the destructive might of Dali Storm had only just begun!
Just one front of the storm completely destroyed all three Merikan aircraft carrier strike groups. But the storm did not end there. At that point, it had grown into a monstrosity in the sky. The water in the ocean was sucked up and sprayed into the air. From the satellite cloud images, Dali Storm at that moment looked like a huge fountain, one that was rotating!
“My G.o.d…” In the Merika Weather Bureau, the Bureau Chief looked dumbstruck at the computer screen. He stayed stunned for nearly half an hour, and it was only when the storm started moving toward Merika"s land that he finally woke up. And when he got ahold of himself, what followed was extreme anxiety. “Alert! Quickly sound the national alert! This terrifying super hurricane is headed straight to our Merika homeland from the Pacific Ocean!”
Very soon, in about five minutes, the storm alert alarm was sounded all over Merika. The harsh, piercing sounds of the alert rang throughout the whole country.
Merika, Hexagon Building.
“It"s over, it"s all over…” Having just found out about their loss on the frontline, Itra, Salon and the President all collapsed weakly on the sofa.
This storm was really terrifying!
It had a diameter of two hundred and forty kilometers and a speed of five hundred kilometers per hour. The wind speed was nearly one hundred meters per second!
A horrible typhoon such as this had probably never been recorded since the birth of Merika, or since the beginning of all records!
Three aircraft carrier strike groups, three aircraft carrier strike groups! Just like that, they were swallowed up in one gulp by the horrible hurricane. Nothing was left at all!
“Hong Dali! I said we should not mess with Hong Dali!” It was completely quiet for half an hour. Then Itra suddenly jumped up and grabbed Salon"s neck. “Why, why did you have to mess with the prodigal Hong Dali? You know he has exceptional luck. Why did you still mess with him!”
In all seriousness, at that moment, he really regretted his actions.
Maybe they should not have aggravated Hong Dali right from the start!
“Why? I did it to secure Merika"s position internationally!” Salon tried desperately to pull Itra"s hands off him. He snarled. “Have you seen what the prodigal Hong Dali is capable of making?! Mechanical Holy Garments! Protective s.h.i.+elds! Altering aircraft carriers! He ruined the economy of Jaban, caused Tarō Gohon"s death, turned Ko Gohon into a transs.e.xual. Can we be careless when dealing with someone like that? If it were not for the benefit of our great Merika, do you think I am willing to mess with this guy? Do you think I have nothing better to do?”
“We should have tried to be friendly with him! We shouldn"t have messed with him!” Itra slumped onto the floor weakly and covered his face with his hand. “How can we go up against such a monster?! Three aircraft carrier strike groups equipped with all of our latest weapons! The result? An inexplicable storm came out of nowhere and swallowed them all in one gulp, just one gulp. They are all gone, all gone!”
“What can I do?!” Salon was also helpless.
Hong Dali was too scary. Huge storms like this were practically seen only once every millennium, and somehow they met one. Was there anything he was not capable of?
“Stop arguing.” The President said dejectedly, “Right now, we have to think about how to explain this to the people. There is no way this can be covered up. Three aircraft carrier strike groups, tens of billions, gone just like that…”
