Chapter 1224: Chapter 1224: The Terrifying Storm 4
As Trump spoke, the people in the room began to buzz with discussion. Some condemned him for his recklessness, while others offered support and sympathy.
âEveryone, calm down,â Trump said dejectedly. âRight now, we need to figure out how to explain this to the citizens. We canât hide this. Three carrier battle groups, worth tens of billions⊠just gone like thatâŠâ
The cost of the three carrier battle groups was one thing, but the real tragedy was the loss of the officers and soldiers, the carefully cultivated talents, and the countless state-of-the-art weapons that hadnât even been mass-produced yet. They had all vanished without a trace.
âThereâs nothing we can do,â the old man said, closing his eyes in agony. âThis isnât something we can solve by finding a scapegoat. The only thing I can think of is to resign. I guess my career is over.â
âMaybe thatâs the only wayâŠâ Trump, having lost his usual arrogance, sighed deeply. âI donât have the face to face our American citizens anymoreâŠâ
Just as they were discussing their next moves, a meteorologist from the weather service burst in, panic-stricken. âMr. President, this is bad!â
âWhat else could be bad?â Trump asked listlessly. âWhat more bad news do we have? Just spit it out, weâre already in this messâŠâ
âMr. President, that massive storm is⊠is heading straight for our mainland,â the meteorologist gulped. âAt a speed of five hundred kilometers per hour, and according to calculations, itâs heading for⊠our countryâs⊠XXX Aircraft Carrier BaseâŠâ
âWhat?!â The president was stunned for a moment, then completely dumbfounded. âYou just said that the supermassive storm is heading for our mainland?!â
âYes⊠Yes, sir!â The meteorologist was on the verge of tears.
âAt five hundred kilometers per hour, itâs heading straight for the XXX Aircraft Carrier Base! Itâs about⊠less than five hours until it makes landfall.â
At this moment, everyone in the White House was speechless.
A storm with a diameter of over two hundred kilometers, traveling at five hundred kilometers per hour, was about to sweep across the United States. And worse, it was heading straight for New York City, the worldâs economic center!
âWhat do we do? What can we do?â Despite his arrogance, Trump was no ordinary man, but this situation was unprecedented, and he was completely at a loss.
The consequences of such a massive storm hitting the United StatesâŠ
âGet moving!â After a moment, Trump finally snapped out of it and shouted. âStop standing there like fools. The priority now is to evacuate the people! Now! Immediately!â
âŠ
Moments later, the entire United States was in chaos. People were fleeing their homes, looking for places to take shelter. New York, the extremely prosperous world economic center, was hit the hardest. In just over an hour, it had become a ghost town.
âŠ
Around eight in the evening, the storm was closing in on the U.S. mainland, only about three hundred kilometers from the coastline. At the stormâs speed, it would make landfall in less than half an hour.
When that happened, it would destroy everything in its path!
The ocean was roaring, with seawater being lifted five to six kilometers into the air by the storm and then flung outward, creating a sky full of rain and fog. This was true disaster!
In the face of such a force, human power was utterly insignificant, too small to have any impact at all. At this point, even the most powerful nuclear weapons humanity had would pose no real threat.
Whether they could explode or not was one thing, but no one knew what the consequences would be.
What was certain was that radioactive material would enter the sea, and the changes in the ocean would be something humanity could not withstand.
And the most critical point was that no one could guarantee whether the storm would dissipate or grow larger after a nuclear strike.
So in the face of such a super disaster, even a superpower like the United States felt like a little girl facing a giant.
Whether it would live or die, whether it would be raped and then killed or killed and then raped, whether it would be raped and then killed or killed and then raped, it was all up to the other partyâs moodâŠ
In short, tremble, mortals! In my eyes, you are nothing but scum!
âŠ
The storm was getting closer and closer to the U.S. mainland.
People along the coast began to flee frantically, heading north or south. All the streets and alleys of the coastal cities in the United States were packed with cars, and the sound of horns filled the sky. Those who got out first stepped on the gas, driving at least two hundred miles per hour.
It was a real fight for life.
If you didnât fight, you would die. At least by driving faster, there was a chance of survival.
Twenty minutes later, waves over thirty meters high crashed into the coastline.
The United States had several military bases here, mainly consisting of the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Marine Corps, and the U.S. Coast Guard. There were two aircraft carriers, several nuclear submarines, and other warships, making it a large military base.
But in the face of the boundless power of nature, all of these were as fragile as floating weeds. In just a moment, they were lifted into the sky, spiraling up to several kilometers in height, then rotating into the eye of the storm, where the wind force suddenly dropped, and they were smashed down.
The XXX Aircraft Carrier Base was destroyed.
And the storm kept moving forward, without the slightest pause!
The exact power of this storm was beyond human imagination. It was known that if the direction remained unchanged, it would start from New York and carve a path over two hundred kilometers wide across the United States, leaving a barren strip of land.
Then it would head into Canada, continue northwest, and finally plunge into the Pacific Ocean.
In this way, the two superpowers with the fourth and second-largest land areas in the world would suffer incalculable losses.
Not only would the areas the storm passed through become wastelands, but thousands, if not tens of thousands, of people who couldnât escape in time would die in this disaster.
An ancient saying from the Dragon Nation goes, âHeaven and Earth are not benevolent; they treat all things as straw dogs.â The power of nature doesnât care about the losses of mortals; it will act according to its own will.
People who had fled the stormâs path could only watch helplessly as this towering, barbaric giant brutally invaded their homeland. They were on the verge of tears and, at this moment, utterly desperate.
