Chapter 1223: Chapter 1223: The Terrifying Storm 3

Five hundred nautical miles—anyone with even a bit of sense could react in time to avoid that. As the captain of an aircraft carrier, it was essential to keep a cool head.

"But... but..." The soldier was on the verge of collapsing.

"The typhoon is moving too fast, and its diameter is enormous. I’m afraid... we might not be able to escape..."

"Fast? How fast?" Hearing the soldier’s words, the captain’s urgency returned. "Give me the detailed data!"

"Five hundred kilometers per hour!" The soldier gulped, his face pale with fear.

"With a diameter of two hundred and twenty kilometers, that means it will hit us in just over an hour..."

The captain slumped back into his chair, trembling uncontrollably. "It’s... It’s over... completely over..."

Five hundred kilometers per hour—what did that mean?

To put it simply, a typical passenger jet cruises at about eight hundred kilometers per hour.

A flight from Ningliao Province to Nanyun Province in the Dragon Nation would take about three and a half hours, covering a distance of about two thousand five hundred kilometers.

This typhoon, however, would cover the same distance in just five hours.

At such a speed, even a carrier moving at over thirty knots (about fifty-six kilometers per hour) on the ocean had no chance of outrunning it. Even if they were in a car traveling at two hundred miles per hour, they wouldn’t stand a chance.

And that was just the speed of the typhoon. When you factored in its diameter...

Two hundred and twenty kilometers—what did that mean?!

The entire Ningliao Province was only about four hundred kilometers wide from east to west. In other words, the storm’s diameter had already reached half the width of Ningliao Province!

Soon, everyone on the U.S. carrier battle group saw the massive storm that seemed to connect the sky and the sea.

The ocean roared, waves churned, and the night was pitch black.

But they could see, not far ahead, about thirty to forty kilometers away, a colossal tornado-like storm, like a sky-piercing pillar, heading straight for them.

In the night, they could no longer see the space on either side of the typhoon. All they could see was the front of the storm, with waves churning and towering, nearly a hundred meters high, crashing towards them.

The three carrier battle groups deployed for the U.S. military exercise were formidable, with each carrier over three hundred meters long. But compared to the storm in front of them, they were as insignificant as ants facing an elephant’s leg.

The seawater had already formed a gigantic whirlpool because of the storm. At this moment, they finally realized how puny human power was compared to the forces of nature.

The two sides collided swiftly...

In just a moment, all the smaller vessels in the three carrier battle groups were swept into the storm.

With wind speeds of about a hundred meters per second, the smaller escort ships were instantly lifted into the sky, rising rapidly to over five thousand meters in just a few breaths!

The storm grew more intense, and they ascended even faster.

Finally, the ships’ upward momentum paused for a moment, and then the survivors on board witnessed a sight they would never forget for the rest of their lives.

They broke through the clouds, and before them lay the vast expanse of the universe.

Unfortunately, they only had a fleeting glimpse. After that, everything went dark...

The three aircraft carriers were the last to be lifted into the sky.

These ten-thousand-ton behemoths were as fragile as newborn babies in the face of the terrifying storm.

All the aircraft on the carriers were swept up, and the carriers’ hulls were lifted as well.

They truly took flight.

On the storm’s trunk, which was over two hundred kilometers in diameter, the three carriers spiraled upward.

They were then thrown to a height of over five thousand meters. Eventually, because there was no wind in the eye of the storm, they fell back down...

On the evening of February 28, 2017, at 18:18, the three U.S. carrier battle groups preparing for a military exercise were annihilated.

...

Just as the entire U.S. military establishment was completely stunned by this event, the storm’s power had only just begun to unfold!

Having wiped out the three U.S. carrier groups in a single blow, the storm did not end there. It had now grown into a true giant, reaching from the ocean floor to the sky.

The seawater was all sucked up and sprayed into the air. From satellite images, the storm now looked like a gigantic fountain, a rotating fountain!

"My God..."

The director of the U.S. National Weather Service stared at the computer screen, stunned for nearly half an hour. It wasn’t until the storm headed straight for the U.S. mainland that he finally snapped out of it.

And when he did, he was filled with immense anxiety.

"Alert! Sound the national alert! This terrifying super hurricane is heading straight for our U.S. mainland from the Atlantic!"

Within about five minutes, the entire United States was blaring with storm warnings, the shrill alarms echoing across the nation.

...

The White House.

"It’s over... It’s all over..."

Upon hearing the bad news from the front lines, all the high-ranking officials gathered in the United States, including the brash and arrogant figure known as Trump, collapsed onto the sofa, utterly drained of energy.

This storm was just too terrifying!

A diameter of two hundred and forty kilometers, a speed of five hundred kilometers per hour, and wind speeds nearing one hundred meters per second!

Such a terrifying typhoon was probably unprecedented in the history of the United States, or at least since modern records began!

Three carrier battle groups, three entire carrier battle groups! They were swallowed whole by the terrifying hurricane, without a trace left behind!

"Why did this happen?" After a full half hour of silence, an experienced senior official suddenly jumped up and grabbed Trump by the neck.

"Why? Why did you have to cause so much trouble? Wasn’t it good enough for us to develop steadily?"

Honestly, at this point, he truly regretted it.

Maybe from the very beginning, he shouldn’t have supported this lunatic’s rise to power. Now, it seemed that the guy had gone too far, and God couldn’t stand it anymore!

"Why? It was all for the international standing of our United States!"

Trump struggled to break free from the old man’s grip and roared, "Don’t you see how fast the Dragon Nation has been developing in recent years? Haven’t you noticed that our international status is no longer as strong as it used to be? If it weren’t for the interests of our great America, do you think I would have done all these things? Was I just looking for trouble?"
