Chapter 116 - 110 Assassin
The definition of a deep red alert is a hazard to the entire city, but the range between the upper and lower limits is actually quite vast.
Blown out of proportion, a Chromatic Spider with meme interference ability could barely be counted for a deep red alert (the spider horde consumes a hundred people a day, over thirty thousand a year),
a nuclear explosion over a city can also qualify as a deep red alert.
（Modern nuclear weapons systems, compared to their yield, pay more attention to increasing the weapon’s survivability and accuracy. Taking the U.S. military’s currently active 450-kiloton TNT equivalent W88 nuclear warhead as an example, its thermal radiation burn radius is only 8.62 km. It would take a dozen, several dozen, or even a hundred of them to devastate a modern large city）
To trigger seismic waves of that magnitude, you’d need at least the energy level of several nuclear bombs.
"Confirmed, it’s nothing serious."
Yuan Zhixia showed Li Cheng the latest text message she had received, "A five-kilometer fissure temporarily appeared in the north of the city. It’s already closed itself up now."
Fissures that connect to the killing field can randomly appear in any corner of Earth, and in the vast majority of cases, these fissures are extremely small and brief. They will annihilate and disappear on their own within microseconds.
In extremely rare cases, large fissures that can maintain for a long time will appear, but this doesn’t necessarily mean they will cause destruction to human society—the killing field is just too vast, and it’s highly probable that the other side of the fissure is a wasteland or vacuum, with only a small chance of monsters "crossing over."
Noticing that Li Cheng was still frowning, Yuan Zhixia casually explained, "If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. There are plenty of experts in the Special Affairs Bureau in Yin City; it’s not that fragile.
As long as there’s no need for the government to mass send emergency texts, advising ordinary people to seek refuge in subway tunnels, underground parking lots, and the like, there’s no need to worry."
