Chapter 1289: The Biggest Disaster in American History
The explosion instantly destroyed the New York Stock Exchange, but it was not over, and the power of the explosion continued to spread outward, here is the bustling Wall Street, the nerve center of international finance, and there are many buildings in between, many of which are close together.
"Boom!"
With the New York Stock Exchange as the center, the power of the explosion instantly destroyed dozens of surrounding buildings, whether it was a large bank, a securities company, a stock exchange or an insurance company, all of them were in ruins in an instant.
"Boom!"
The shock wave is still spreading outward,
The glass of the buildings within a radius of kilometers was shattered and shook violently, just like the end of the world, and the originally beautiful buildings were instantly only left with frames, just like pheasants that had lost their hair, and became full of holes.
"Boom!"
Almost all of the buildings in a radius of several thousand meters were affected, and few pieces of glass were intact.
People in the distance heard an earth-shattering loud bang and saw a red mushroom cloud rise from Manhattan Island, rolling up into the sky.
This explosion destroyed almost the entire Wall Street.
Jiang Hao rushed out of the New York Stock Exchange in advance, and in order to escape for his life, he had no scruples, and he used light skills to step on the roof of the car on the street and flew forward as fast as he could, and just ran out two or three hundred meters, the explosion shock wave behind him chased over.
"Boom!"
The flames rolled and rushed towards Jiang Hao, devouring him in an instant, at this time, the golden light of his body protection was turned to the maximum, and Jiang Hao, who was blown up by the huge shock wave, flew up directly and was pushed out like a cannonball.
"Poof!"
The body was subjected to a violent shock wave, making Jiang Hao feel like he was about to be torn apart, his internal organs were injured, Jiang Hao spurted out a mouthful of blood, flew out dozens of meters away, and slammed it on the wall of a building.
"Boom!"
This hundred-meter-high building suffered a huge shock wave, collapsed in an instant, and fell down with a bang, Jiang Hao was buried underneath, perhaps it was peace and blessing that played a role, and the collapse of the wall where he was located formed an angle, giving Jiang Hao a place to stay.
Jiang Hao had encountered this situation before, he was not too flustered, he immediately took out an oxygen cylinder and brought it, and then took out an intermediate healing charm and slapped it on his body.
When he settled down, Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as he dodged the first wave of explosions, it would basically not be a problem to survive later.
At this moment, he still has lingering palpitations in his heart, the Predator is so ruthless, he will blow himself up at every turn, and it is estimated that the entire Wall Street will be finished.
This explosion can be said to be the most serious crisis that Jiang Hao has encountered since he did the mission, the Predator's self-detonation bomb is as powerful as an ultra-small nuclear bomb, but even if it is an ultra-small nuclear bomb, the power is amazing.
I didn't want to do so much, Jiang Hao hurriedly cultivated and recovered his body as soon as possible, he was now buried in the rubble, although he couldn't die for a while, but he could guess that the entire Manhattan was estimated to be in a mess now, and it was probably unrealistic to wait for the police to come and save him.
It is said that after the 911 incident, it took more than a year to clean up the twin towers of the World Trade Tower, which were just two buildings, if it was dozens of buildings, how much time would it take, and it would not take a few years, Jiang Hao didn't want to wait for a few years in this dark place.
Meditate cross-legged, breathe pranayama, use spiritual runes, and use spiritual power.
There was no light in the ruins, I don't know how long it took, Jiang Hao woke up, and he could feel that the injuries on his body had completely healed, and the saying that the body was the capital of the revolution was absolutely true.
The next step is how to save yourself.
Up?
A hundred-meter-high building, I don't know how much rubble has piled up overhead, and the structure is unstable, if you dig it yourself, it is very likely to damage the structure and cause a secondary collapse, so he decided to go down.
New York City has a dense sewer system underground, and it is more than ten meters above the ground, which is very solid, and it is believed that the explosion cannot completely destroy the sewer, as long as the sewer is found, you can escape as soon as possible.
Jiang Hao did not dig blindly, but closed his eyes and found a comprehensive map of New York in his mind, and at this moment it was as if there was a holographic map in his mind, Jiang Hao began to calculate.
I just escaped from the New York Stock Exchange, which is located at No. 18 Broadway, south of the corner of Wall Street, and I just ran towards the South Office, ran out about 200 meters, and was pushed out by the shock wave for forty or fifty meters, so I should have hit the east wall of the Merrill Lynch Insurance Building.
Jiang Hao's mind immediately appeared in the structure of the Merrill Lynch Building and the surrounding supporting facilities, there are dense underground pipes around the Merrill Lynch Insurance Building, Jiang Hao calculated that there should be a sewer channel about 10~15 meters to the east of him.
Jiang Hao immediately made up his mind and took that sewer as his first target.
Start!
Dig.
......
Jiang Hao was digging a hole to save himself, but he didn't know that the outside world had turned upside down, and the Americans thought that they had suffered a nuclear bomb attack, and President Reagan immediately declared that the United States had entered a state of total emergency, and the army had activated the highest level of defense.
Speculation continued, and many people thought that the Soviet Union had started a war against the United States.
After the passage of time, people finally figured out that it was not the Soviet Union that went to war, but a violent explosion on the New York Stock Exchange, comparable to the power of an ultra-small nuclear bomb, and Wall Street was engulfed, and the world was shaken by the news.
Wall Street is the financial center of the United States, but also the world's financial center, which can be said to affect the world's economic nerves.
Japan's Nikkei fell 620 points, Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index fell 420 points, Brazil's and Mexico's stock markets plunged more than 20%, and France, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and Singapore all fell more than 10%.
Now I heard that Wall Street was bombed, which immediately caused even more panic, and the stock futures market fell even more in a diving style, and this stock market crash was even darker than the stock market crash in history, and it can even be described as a collapse.
Major media outlets around the world have reported on it.
British Reuters, "Now we get the news that the center of the explosion is the New York Stock Exchange, the explosion is as powerful as a small nuclear bomb, Wall Street in the United States has almost been razed to the ground, all the buildings within 200 meters of the center of the New York Stock Exchange have collapsed, the buildings within a kilometer range have been damaged, and the buildings within 5,000 meters have basically been unable to work normally, and the real cause of the explosion is still under investigation." ”
Agence France-Presse: "The explosion site is Wall Street, the busiest day in New York, at noon, and so far it is known that more than 20 buildings have collapsed, more than 100 buildings have been damaged, and the number of dead and injured is expected to exceed 100,000, which is the largest disaster in the United States since the founding of the United States and a disaster for all mankind." ”
TASS reported: "New York was attacked by a nuclear bomb in the United States, and the cause of this disaster has not yet been found, and we will continue to pay attention." ”
Deutsche Presse Agency, "Hit by the explosion on Wall Street, it is expected that the global economy will be severely impacted in the future, with huge losses, and the United States will lose more than trillions of dollars, and it is inevitable that the stock market crash will sweep the world." ”
The Associated Press reported to the public, "The United States has launched a comprehensive state of emergency, affected by the explosion, the stock market will be temporarily closed, when it will be opened depends on the development of the situation, President Reagan has rushed to New York, and New York State dispatched the National Guard to participate in the rescue." ”
The headlines of other media outlets were all about the New York bombing, but of course, the reports of these media outlets were not as formal as the official ones, and there were some alternative news during the period.
At that time, before the explosion, Jiang Hao and the Predator were fighting in the trading hall, many people saw it, many people ran out, and a very few people escaped far away and survived the explosion, and they revealed some of the situation at that time to the outside world.
"The truth about the explosion on the New York Stock Exchange, aliens have attacked the earth!"
"Witnesses saw several heavily armed monsters descending from the sky, suspected aliens."
"In the battle on the New York trading floor, who is stopping the aliens?"
All kinds of news are flying all over the sky, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood for a while.
The FBI and the police quickly dispatched to find these witnesses, took them for detailed questioning, and soon learned a lot of things, and when those people described an Asian fighting those aliens, Pullman paused for a moment, and quickly took out Jiang Hao's photos to show those witnesses.
"Do you know this person?" Pullman asked.
"Ah, it's him, it's this Asian, after those monsters appeared, it was this person who rushed up and fought with them, and the two sides fought very fiercely, and then we ran away." A young man with glasses said.
Several other people also recognized Jiang Hao and said that it was this person.
Pullman took out the portrait of Iron Blood again, which was painted by Jiang Hao before, the purpose was to let people understand the situation of Iron Blood, and this time it came in handy, after those people saw the portrait of Iron Blood, they pointed to the portrait and shouted that it was this kind of monster.
Pullman knew that the real reason had been found this time, aliens, or the Predator in Jiang Hao's mouth.
Pullman immediately reported to President Reagan, President Reagan had received the FBI's report on the Predators before, so he naturally knew about their existence, and frowned: "I didn't expect this disaster to be caused by aliens, what are they going to do, are they going to fully invade the earth?" ”
"I don't know, no one knows what they think, in this world, the one who knows them the most is Qiao Enjiang." Pullman Road.
"Where's Jon Jiang?" Reagan asked.
Pullman shook his head helplessly, "Those people saw that Jiang Hao was fighting with those alien monsters at that time, and there was an explosion, I'm afraid he was also killed." ”
President Reagan frowned in contemplation and muttered, "How to speak to the outside world now, this is a question that needs to be thought through." ”
The explosion on Wall Street, such a big thing, the whole world is paying attention, the loss of the United States is doomed, but a reasonable explanation must be given, it cannot be said that it was done by robbers, this absolutely does not make sense.
Is it necessary to announce the existence of aliens to the outside world, but once such news is announced, it may cause greater panic among the people, and the world does not know what will become of it?
After pondering for a moment, Reagan ordered, "Immediately summon the Speaker of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Secretary of State, the FBI Director, the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Secretary of Defense, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to an emergency meeting." ”
