The Little Prince in the Ossuary

# Sunrise, or dusk (14)
The final decision is Commander Rogers'. You may reject him for being different from the original policy, but he was not so stuffy when winter came to know. He chose the ground command over the control room of the air cannons because he shouldn't be free from the scene. The lieutenant must have also seen what winter saw. If not, I will ask you why before I refuse.
Plans were meant to die before men died, and the decisions of the commander as chief officer depended on the flow of battlefield.
‘Given his personality, he may have already set off a full blast. ’
It took about an hour and 10 minutes to send a cruise missile (Tomahawk) from the South China Sea's antihelmet to Zero Ground. So the previous missiles were like a signal to start a war. Even supersonic bombers take at least 20 minutes to enter the air space.
Therefore, it was wise to have a full bomber squadron standing by for immediate firepower support.
The problem is that it has to be armed with nuclear weapons.
Despite his optimistic expectations, Rogers was competent enough to make such an expectation. It is also possible that he has already finished his reconciliation with the White House.
The wait was not long.
Shortly after preparing the soldiers, a nuclear fall alarm was finally raised.
Some of the soldiers who were alerted lowered their posture in panic, even though they had been warned beforehand, without even a moment to count the remaining candles. They crouch too early and there is a gap in the firepower. Even the officers and deputies who need to take control have lost their cool.
But I couldn't blame them.
“Crazy! Nuclear! Nuclear! It's a core! Everyone stay against the outer wall! ”
The trembling voice belonged to Sergeant Diesel. He's a veteran with a long career, but he looks like this. Humanity's last weapon sparked such vague and fundamental terror.
Very few people knew the task force would actually use it, even if they knew it was possessed. It was a long and thorough preparation process. Reasonable confidence and more optimism. I have vague expectations that it will not go well. It is another aspect of high fraud.
Aaaaaaah!
A Keksik digs a gap in the firepower, his head suddenly sticks out over the trench. After being hit in the face with a reflexive counter fire, you jump to the other side and try to dive into the trench again. There's no such thing as long arms and legs.
At that moment, a tactical core exploded 2.5 kilometers away, 500 meters above.
Light killed the night, noise killed all the other sounds.
Winter holds its ears tight and withstands the gust that rages through the trenches. Nevertheless, the blast even dug his brains out on the bone. Even though I turned my back on the direction of the explosion and closed my eyes, my vision was white. The eyelid can't block all the reflected light leaking into the trench.
You did not order the soldiers to take refuge in the armored car because the trench's brick wall is thicker than the armored car's. Strength is irrelevant. The key is the density and thickness of the shield. Exposure to initial radiation decreases to a large width unless directly exposed to scintillation. Everyone who has been trained knows this.
On the other hand, the creature that received the murderous light and heat in front of it suddenly ripens into shape. Immediately after the intense heat, the skin was peeled off and lying around. He's having seizures like a dog hit by a car for a while. This time, it tumbles into the trench, avoiding the pressure being sucked into the center of the explosion. Winter slashes its crown with a great sword. The blade shrugs and breaks the bones and digs. The end of my brain shrinks the creature's luminescence.
The fastest recovering winter caught sight of mushroom clouds rising in the distance. It revealed a overwhelming presence in the moonlit night landscape.
‘That's a weak thing. ’
It is winter that I have experienced radioactive fireworks over several end-of-life ribs, but rarely have I seen a nuclear explosion this close. That usually means death.
There will be very little fallout due to the controlled explosion. However, there were some things that fell early instead of falling. Carbonated bodies and fleshy debris pour in from the air stream, drawing unrealistic hellfire. They were closer to the bomb site. Even the little ones fell off the ledge. The moisture flows away, so it's light. Whenever it hits, the discolored muscle crumbles. It was hard to think that they had been alive until just now.
Even winter felt surreal here. His ears were still deaf. Even after the bomb exploded from the sky, the earth shook and cried its innards. If this were a ground explosion, someone would have been injured by the vibrations alone.
Tata, Tata, Tata, Tata!
Rapidly resumed machine gun fire. During the first dozens of maneuvers, the trapeze shifted to the right and to the left like a drunken man's footsteps. However, the mutants were also not healthy individuals. I stumble, tear, and scream.
Anyway, I sighed. The teratoma infection was, because of its horror, extremely rich chance of demoralization.
‘Even if it's inevitable, it's best to postpone it as long as possible. ’
Honestly, I'm afraid of winter. It's not a long story. It's been over a year since the time of this world has terrified death. It's about suppressing fear, leaning on old familiarity.
The will has been written in winter as well. This world will continue even after winter is dead. Apart from the anguish of going back alive, it was necessary for Anne.
Winter attracted panicked people with busy radio and angry cultivation. Repair your defenses now. At the same time, the frozen soldier grabs the hind end of the soldier and raises him to his feet. The power to almost lift it. The horse naturally became ferocious.
“Get up! Do as you're trained! Are you going to sit there until you die? ”
The effect varies depending on the person doing the same beating.
Terra tomatoes that have entered the trenches have been bouncing off their heads. In human terms, it's more like a concussion. When additional inflow is cut off for a short time, it is necessary to quickly remove it in order to prepare for the next.
On the other hand, the shockwaves swept past the burnt slopes and stumbled. An arm and leg stirring, screaming in agony, is stripped of its guilt and rattled. One thing that rarely happened among them seemed to forget even the instinct towards humans.
Ugh, ugh, ugh...
Individuals with their own intelligence. He doesn't know what happened to him. Blisters have already formed on his face, and blood is spilling from his nose and mouth.
A soldier who saw the same scene pointed a gun at you.
“Fuck you. Fuck you! ”
The depressed tone of voice is probably worried that something will happen to him, too. A sharp gunshot sounds while you eat, and a huge monster staggers with more blood. A standard shot that I would've ignored. But now I can't even stand up to vomit.
Most of the little ones were exterminated, and the rest of them jumped like worms on fire. The burning pains were not only the most painful for Humankind. It was a fire that cooked even the dermis for two kilometers, so it was natural to go crazy with a full body burn.
“Hey! Put this away! ”
Someone writes evil, and the soldiers rush to remove the stubborn things from the trenches. Occasionally, those who stumble alive are shot at close to death. Everyone screams. It was because I was deaf.
“From David Actual to all units! If there's any damage, cheat! ”
When I put the radio in and looked around, there was no big problem within range of the field of view. Even lightened armored vehicles would have been in jeopardy if they had been exposed to a storm, but all vehicles had been in vehicle escorts (trenches for vehicles) before the suspension.
"From David 1 Alpha to David Actual! Notice that there is no damage from nuclear detonation!
Starting with the Alpha squadron, several squadrons reported unordered. The contents of the Bible said that the invisible places were no different from the visible places. Equipment with EMP resistance survived the aftermath of the nuclear attack.
Meanwhile, the intermediate gap will be adjusted and the points for relocating the supports and the changed firepower focusing points will also be notified. The pressure in this direction will decrease dramatically due to radiation contamination. Higher troop density also naturally enhances the ability to respond to teratomas.
Remembering maps and terrain also helped. Thanks to you, there are immediate and optimal instructions without checking the map. I still can't tell if it's calibration or memorization, but right now it was a good thing.
Meanwhile, a radio came in from above.
David Actual. Chamberlain Avalon JTAC. Bomb damage assessment, over.
A request to check and inform how effective the nucleus was, which is not suitable for this situation. But I couldn't ignore it. It was the reason for calculating the approximate necrotoxin incidence according to the damage assessment.
Winter commissioned this to the operations officer.
“Foster! I'll take care of it. Collect and report ratings. ”
This was typically a specialized team, but officers of the 201 Independence Academy were fundamentally qualified regardless of their officers and deputies. The same is true of winter. The Independence Army is still a special force. It makes no sense that you will not receive two weeks of intensive training and a few repetitive exercises during the preparation period of the current year.
“Very well. You seem troubled at the top. ”
What the poster says with a stiff face. Yes, that's what it means to urgently ask for this information.
The expectation that General Rogers would have finished coordinating with the White House Command Room was ultimately too optimistic and hasty.
Since there was a limit to observing the terratoma with thermal imaging overhead, the assessment had to be prioritized to reflect the opinions of first-line officers. how intimidating these little things are.
We can't let the White House interfere with the battlefield with this. Nuclear is literally a strategic weapon. Rather, he acknowledged his broad discretion by allowing five tactical warheads to be used without permission.
‘Please, I hope you're shocked. ’
What winter expects is the psychology of cunning individuals, not the White House.
‘They have no memory of a nuclear attack. ’
This was another anticipated effect on rapid nuclear ejection. The nuclear weapons were used in Asia, and San Francisco was an underwater nuclear explosion, making it difficult for mutants to obtain accurate information. The sea monsters who will face the aftermath will never know what happened to them.
So for Alpha Tricksters captured by Rangers, nuclear weapons would have been an unknown territory.
A nuclear explosion is shocking to those who already have prior knowledge. If the cunning ones are wary of their power and stop the plague army for even a moment, this way would be very helpful.
This is also likely to be an optimistic expectation.
When I thought about doing this properly, the radio man who was listening to the buzzing radio shouted in a faint voice.
“Sir! A new nuclear launch alert! Two nuclear shells firing TOT! ”
“TOT?”
Time on target (TOT) was the way to fire multiple shells and bombs simultaneously.
“Coordinates FH 396 257, FH 383 249! 17 seconds ahead!”
The coordinates you call in six stages are the lowest numbers in 100 meters in front and back. We don't need to use more precise coordinates because it's nuclear. Winter instantly hit the landing gap.
It's only a mile, right? ’
This ferocity.It seemed like the Air Force was responsible somehow. It seemed like the plan was to block one side with a fierce radiation contamination and focus the troops on the other, especially the rugged areas. If you put the coordinates on a map memorized in winter, the two coordinates were above the opening area where the blockade was effective.
On the other hand, it seemed as if he intended to shock the mutants as if it were the idea of winter.
“Coming!”
The communicator falls down, wrapping around the radio. Yura, who was near, curls up and writes evil, protecting his eyes and ears.
“Brace for impact! ”
Kuang
A heavy, yet enormous noise clouds the hands that block your ears. The ground shook like a wave. Sensory error. This explosion was quite a distance away.
Winter opened its eyes in the frequent light. The landscape seemed to reproduce recorded sunsets at high speeds. The mushroom clouds, which were the first to rise, were scattered by the shock waves, and the two new clouds interfered with each other and turned into strange shapes.
This time, the explosion altitude was a little lower than the first. Given the power of the cannonball, 500 meters will be a level with little fallout, but if you go below it, it will start to scatter a hailstorm of ash.
I've already used three of the five steps I can use freely.
Will the mutants move as expected, will the base search end faster, will radiation exposure be okay, and will the White House's resolution be too late…….
As the expectations and anxiety crossed, the moonless night peered at the early dawn.
