People don't doubt that there are 10,000 meters above them. The American bombardment is nullified. At its edge, a long atomic bomb of about 4 meters and more than 4 tons, capable of burying a whole city of the map. At 8.15 pm, the trap opens under the plane. A sylinder of the metallic ends its path towards the Earth. 43 seconds later, a lightning light. The brighter the sun comes, the more the wind comes out. The burning fire passes the 5,000 degrees, the buildings, the weapons, the bodies. All buildings, founded, pulverized. 70,000 people disappear instantly. 10,000 and a half miles away, badly burned.
