Chapter 348: After the Disaster

Half an hour after Rome was bombed, Italian rescue forces entered the ruined city from all directions, and the closer they got to the Vatican, the fewer people they saw alive, and everywhere there were people burned to black coal, people buried in rubble.

Rescuers are wearing thick radiation suits, communications throughout the city are disrupted, wireless signals are intermittent, and only satellite phones can barely hear what they are saying. There are still some journalists who don't want to die, wearing only simple radiation suits, flying by helicopter over Rome to photograph the post-apocalyptic scene.

With the departure of Lei Gong's family, the sky was no longer dark, but it was not daytime, but it was red. The mushroom cloud, which had not yet dissipated, was taken into shocking photographs, and the reporter was in tears while reporting on the current situation in Rome, which was definitely another major disaster in the history of mankind.

The death toll continues to climb, with some experts conservatively estimating that nearly a million people are expected to die in Rome's population of more than two million. If it weren't for the battle between the Dark Council and the Holy Cult that caused civilians to take refuge in bomb shelters or subway stations, the death toll would have exceeded a million.

In this ruined city, the reporter finally photographed the iconic obelisk of the Vatican, occasionally capturing one or two "living creatures" as transcendents crawling out of the ruins.

The global satellite broadcast the aftermath of the disaster in Rome, the people in front of the television set wept, and the constantly beating images flashed a scene only in a disaster movie, the explosion site near the Vatican was already a huge crater, and the entire city, one collapsed building after another was still burning. In the makeshift emergency center, blackened corpses are sealed in body bags, densely packed up the size of a football field.

Doctors examined the children's injuries, regardless of the radiation. Doctors are clearly understaffed, and doctors can only choose which people to treat first, depending on the severity of the injury, and the injured child is the one they should treat first.

More and more helicopters flew into Roman airspace in the sky, and ambulances on the ground were parked on the periphery of the rubble, the roads were destroyed, and the vehicles could not penetrate into Rome, and a large number of rescuers began to run through the rubble to the most seriously injured places. These are rescue teams sent by international organizations.

Palazzo Quirinale, the residence of the President of Italy, is also located in Rome. At the beginning of the extraordinary battle in the Vatican, the Prime Minister and the leading officials had entered the emergency shelter and directed the army to evacuate the mortals.

At this time, after the nuclear bomb was detonated, the Quirinalais Palace was also greatly damaged, and these leading Italian officials were not only shocked, but more angry.

Ignoring the crowd and wearing no protective clothing, the president led a group of officials and guards out of the shelter and into the rubble. At this time, he should be with the Italian people even more.

In Italy, the president is elected by secret vote and is not the head of the cabinet, while the prime minister is the leader of the majority party in parliament and is responsible for organizing the cabinet. That is, the prime minister holds the executive power, while the president is more symbolic.

At this time, the Italian prime minister shouted loudly into the phone in the refuge of the Quirinalale Palace, he wanted to know who had detonated the nuclear bomb, and he had not received any information about the nuclear bomb until then. Now, no country or organization has acknowledged the nuclear attack, and all the speculations given by the intelligence services point to the transcendental realm.

……

In an emergency center in the ruins, a "god" with a scepter in his hand descended from the sky, his bishop's uniform had turned a little black. Behind him were several angels, whose clothes were still white and shiny except for their wings, and their clothes were also tattered and black.

Nikolai landed in front of several of the wounded who were waiting for first aid, and was about to raise the scepter of light to heal them, when he heard the angry shouts of the medical staff.

"Get out!"

Nikolai was stunned to see all the medical staff glaring at him.

"We don't need you, it's you who bring disaster. "An Italian soldier pointed an energy weapon at Nikolai.

Nikolai stopped talking, sadness and loneliness appeared in his eyes. He was like an old man who stood for a few seconds and then turned away, flying towards the southern sky.

……

Assameh, as the commander of the operation, has been hiding in a hotel south of the Vatican to observe the battle. Fortunately, the hotel was six kilometers away from the site of the nuclear bomb explosion, and although he was seriously wounded, he survived.

The bomb made Asama a little dazed, and he really couldn't guess who had detonated it.

He emerges from the rubble of the hotel and tries to contact Victoria, only to find that the communication facilities are completely ineffective. Dragging his tired body all the way west, he wanted to find the forces of the Dark Council.

After walking a few kilometers, he saw a child covered in ash in a rubble buried by stones, with only the upper half of his body still exposed. The child seemed to be out of breath, and if you didn't look closely, you would think he was part of the ruins.

Asama walked over to the ruins and saw that it was supposed to be a Giorgio Armani* shop, and that there was a "GA" card logo in the dust. He rummaged through the rocks, and in a moment he found a pair of sunglasses with a fairly good packaging and a hat that was no longer of any shape.

It was still daytime, and Asama felt much better after putting on his sunglasses and hat. He walked over to the place where the child was buried, quickly removed the stones pressed on the child's body, and saw that the child's lower body was already a blur of flesh and blood.

Asama bit his left wrist and dripped blood into the child's mouth. As if it weren't in your own blood, the process lasted for five minutes. Eventually, the child's body moved, and the injuries on his body began to heal. But Assamee was still dripping blood, because he knew that he was only a marquis, and that he needed more blood to heal the child, otherwise he would be paralyzed in the lower half of his body even if he had been saved.

Ten minutes passed, and Assameh finally stopped dripping blood, got up and continued to walk northwest. In the ruins, the child's legs moved, he opened his eyes and stood up, tilted his head from side to side, and saw only the back of a faltering middle-aged man.

……

Devon, an S-class healer of the Holy Cult, was a non-combatant who waited with the other healers in the surrounding cities outside of Rome when the Battle of the Vatican began, waiting for the battle to end so that she could treat the Holy Cult Transcendent as soon as possible.

However, before the battle was over, she saw a terrible fire suddenly light up in the direction of Rome, and it was a long time before she heard the rumble again.

Devin couldn't get in touch with the Vatican, and when she saw the mushroom cloud rising, her face was full of horror, and she understood that it was a nuclear bomb. After observing from afar for a while, she decided to go into Rome to find out. I guessed in my heart whether this would be a nuclear bomb brought by the Dark Council, but, on second thought, it was almost impossible, although not to mention that the main force of the Dark Council was also in the Vatican, even if the Dark Council wanted to attack the Vatican, it would not use civilian weapons. All countries in the world have a clear rule that the transcendent must not master the weapons of mortals, otherwise he will be hunted down by the whole world.

Could this nuclear bomb be aimed at the extraordinary? However, in such a densely populated city, a nuclear bomb would cause more harm to mortals, and no country or organization would do so, unless it wanted to cause public outrage.

Although he had been prepared, Devin could not believe what he saw when he entered the Roman sky. She has experienced countless battles, even on the battlefield of World War II, she has never seen such a tragic scene.

Devon felt sad in her heart, and she finally couldn't hold back her tears when she saw countless innocent mortals being killed. The doctor's parents are concerned, and Devin can't face this situation without asking. She flew into the sky with a scorching glow, not the light she released, but the light she absorbed from the radiation around her.

Devin flew around the periphery of Rome, and the light on her body grew brighter and brighter, and finally, she flew to her destination, the Vatican. The bright, soft light already made it impossible to see her form, and she had become a point of light. Devin fell from the sky and landed straight on St. Peter's Square. She struggled not to let the energy in her body spread, rolling and struggling in the ruins......
