Chapter 777: Natural Chasm Turned into Ruins
As the "Father of All Bombs" detonated almost simultaneously, the Kumamoto Fortress, a once impregnable military fortress, instantly became a living hell. Each bomb was more than just an explosion, they were more like the most violent forces in nature being released in a concentrated manner, with the goal of destroying all living things and materials.
The first bomb exploded in the northeast corner of the fortress. It was not just a sound, but a roar that was enough to tear the eardrums. Following closely, there was a volcanic eruption-like flame and shock wave. The flames lost the resistance of nature in the vacuum and became wilder than ever before. They licked every inch of space, devouring concrete, steel and even time itself. The fortifications of the fortress, those barriers that were once thought to be insurmountable, were now as fragile as paper and collapsed in an instant.
The second bomb landed in the heart of the fortress, hitting the command center with almost perfect accuracy. This not only destroyed the communication equipment and the combat command center, but even more horribly, the high temperature it created instantly ignited all combustibles, triggering a chain reaction of fires. In the sea of fire, wailing and screaming intertwined to form the most miserable symphony. And those Fuso soldiers who tried to escape trampled on each other in chaos and despair, and many of them fell into the sea of fire before they even reached the exit.
The third bomb landed on the southern defense line of the fortress, one of the weakest areas of defense. However, even so, the power of the explosion was still jaw-dropping. The shock wave was like a giant beast out of control, sweeping away all obstacles on the defense line, including those soldiers who were holding their posts. Their bodies were ruthlessly torn apart, and their limbs were scattered all over the ground, mixed with mud and gravel, making it difficult to distinguish. The air was filled with a thick smell of blood and burnt, suffocating.
The last bomb seemed to put a cruel end to the disaster. It fell on the highest point of the fortress, as if it was a sentence of fate. The huge energy generated by the explosion not only destroyed the top structure of the fortress, but also triggered a chain of collapse. The entire fortress seemed to be crushed from the inside by an invisible big hand, and rubble and debris poured down like raindrops, burying everything below. In this catastrophe, both the sturdy fortress and the soldiers inside seemed so small and helpless.
Inside the fortress, the Fuso soldiers could only face endless despair and death. They melted under the high temperature of the explosion, and their weapons became useless scrap metal. Some tried to find shelter, but found that they were surrounded by a sea of fire; some shouted the names of their comrades, but only heard their own echoes echoing in the empty space. In the end, they could only watch helplessly as everything they had was devoured by the flames until it turned into nothing.
The "Father of All Bombs" is actually the same as the Mother of All Bombs, both are thermobaric bombs.
The underground city of Kumamoto Fortress, a secret space that was once regarded as the last line of defense, was instantly pushed to the brink of life and death. At this moment, under the destruction of the father of bombs, it was like a small boat in a storm, and was instantly destroyed.
First, there was the silent prelude of suffocation. The unique detonation mechanism of the thermobaric bomb quickly unfolded a silent disaster in the underground city. The oxygen-free explosion and oxygen-free combustion were completed in an instant, and a large amount of explosives were efficiently released into the confined air.
Then, as the air flows, these chemicals begin to react violently with the remaining oxygen, causing aerobic combustion. This process is like a huge oxygen vacuum cleaner, quickly devouring every bit of oxygen in the underground city.
The sharp drop in oxygen concentration made the already tense and depressing underground space even more suffocating. The air was filled with a despairing dullness, as if even breathing had become extremely difficult. Thousands, even tens of thousands of Fuso soldiers, their faces gradually lost color.
Their eyes were filled with the desire to survive and the fear of death. They began to breathe rapidly, trying to absorb the tiny amount of oxygen from the increasingly thin air, but every breath seemed to squeeze the last bit of life force from their throats.
As time went on, the scene in the underground city became more and more tragic. Soldiers began to support each other, and some even fell to the ground due to lack of oxygen and could no longer get up. Their breathing gradually became weaker until it stopped completely.
Before dying, some soldiers had eyes filled with unwillingness and anger. They wanted to let out a final roar, but they could only open their mouths weakly, let out a few faint moans, and then closed their eyes forever.
As for those soldiers who still had a little consciousness, their senses were infinitely magnified. They could clearly hear the sound of their own heartbeats and feel the blood flowing through their veins. Their consciousness began to blur, but their minds kept replaying the memories in their minds...
However, these beautiful memories can only slowly dissipate in the endless darkness.
Finally, the entire underground city fell into a dead silence. Except for the occasional sound of heavy objects collapsing and the low hum of burning embers, there was no sign of any life. Tens of thousands of Fuso soldiers ended their lives in an extremely cruel way under the power of the "Father of Bombs".
Kumamoto Fortress, a concrete fortress that once stood in the northern part of the Kumamoto region like a giant beast, has now been completely changed and turned into the dust of history and fragments of memory.
After experiencing the precise strikes of twelve goblet bombs, the devastating destruction of six "mothers of bombs", and the ultimate baptism of four "fathers of bombs" thermobaric bombs, it is no longer an insurmountable chasm, but has turned into a shocking ruin stretching for dozens of miles.
In the ruins, broken walls and ruins can be seen everywhere. They are tilted or collapsed, just like building blocks discarded by giants, piled up in a disorderly manner. The once solid fortifications are now only broken concrete blocks and twisted metal frames, silently telling the past glory and present sadness.
The smoke had not yet completely dissipated, and it slowly drifted in the air, intertwining with the dust to form a thick gray fog that enveloped the entire ruins area. This fog not only blocked the view, but also seemed to freeze time, making it difficult to tell whether this was reality or a dream.
Above the ruins, huge black smoke continued to gather. It came from the remaining fire that had not yet been completely extinguished, and the special combustion phenomenon caused by the explosion of the thermobaric bomb. The smoke was like the breath of the devil, constantly spreading around, dyeing the sky a strange dark black. Under the sunlight, the edges of the smoke flickered with strange light, like a sign of the coming of doomsday.
In this dead silence and despair, you can occasionally hear the roar of heavy objects collapsing or the sound of wood cracking in the embers. These sounds echoed in the ruins, adding a bit of desolation and horror.
