Being an otaku in the world of American comics

Around 3 PM, the previously cloudy sky with continuous heavy rain began to clear up slowly.

A beam of brilliant sunlight pierced through the clouds from the sky, shining upon the earth.

Liang Yue had already returned to his residence, slowly savoring the sumptuous lunch left for him by the two women, his gaze occasionally looking out the window, a hint of anticipation hidden deep in his eyes.

Saeko Busujima and Shizuka Marikawa were sitting in the living room, filling empty magazines for Liang Yue while chatting and laughing.

The TV was broadcasting real-time news from Japan and around the world. The communication signal was intermittent, but it was easy to see that the situation under the apocalypse was rapidly deteriorating.

About two hours later, the sky, which had completely cleared up, suddenly brightened.

A violent white light seemed to bloom without warning in the distance, instantly illuminating the originally dim twilight.

“Finally, it's here~”

Instinctively shielding his eyes with his hand, Liang Yue naturally knew that this beam of light was the enormous energy produced by the explosion of a nuclear bomb.

According to the original plot, this nuclear bomb should have come from an attack by an American nuclear submarine located in the Pacific Ocean.

Originally, there should have been four nuclear missiles coming, but during the launch process, three of them were intercepted by the Kongo-class destroyers of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force.

Looking at the position of the light, the last nuclear bomb should have been detonated in the atmosphere above Tokyo.

The violent nuclear explosion did not directly damage the city below, but the electromagnetic pulse caused by the nuclear explosion's spread had a profound impact on Tokyo.

Almost all civilian electronic devices suffered. Things like TVs, mobile phones, factory equipment, cars, and even street lights had their internal electrical equipment damaged in an instant, losing their original function.

The scope of the impact was so large that even Tokonosu City, which was just a satellite city of Tokyo, was affected.

The reason why the United States launched a nuclear offensive during this special period was probably just for the purpose of deterring enemy countries.

In Liang Yue's view, this behavior seemed equivalent to beating one's own dog to show the neighbors~

As the world's hegemon for more than half a century, the United States seemed to be having a very difficult time internally after the outbreak of the doomsday crisis.

The once powerful and rampant American soldiers seemed to suddenly become weaklings when facing the zombie army, and the various defense lines on their homeland were retreating steadily.

Even the President of the United States, as the head of the highest government, had been replaced several times in recent times, and the domestic political situation was quite unstable.

Under this crisis situation, in order not to be taken advantage of by other enemy countries on the earth, from the American perspective, it was necessary to issue a preemptive deterrent.

The use of nuclear bombs at this time was equivalent to warning those major countries that although I am a little decadent now, I still have the ability to drag you all down with me, so you better not have any crooked ideas~

Similarly, since the United States has already launched nuclear weapons first, the other major countries must also respond to declare that their nuclear deterrent capability is still effective.

Therefore, before the crisis broke out, the US military bases stationed in South Korea and Okinawa, among other places, were probably going to be lost soon.

Being surrounded by several major powers, although very aggrieved, Japan at this time seemed to only be able to admit its bad luck.

Regardless of whether this country secretly produced nuclear weapons or not, it could not make a response of equal magnitude.

Otherwise, they would likely be nuked in turn by the surrounding major countries… …

… …

“Liang Yue-kun! The TV in the living room is broken, and the mobile phones, computers, and lights can't be used either!”

“Is this the nuclear deterrent you mentioned before, Liang Yue-kun?”

Shizuka-sensei and Saeko-senpai walked in from the living room at this time, and the expressions on their faces were not very good.

“Don't worry, I've already made preparations in advance. Let's go~ It's time for us to go to the Takagi residence now.”

Looking back at the afterglow of the nuclear explosion that was gradually extinguishing outside the window, Liang Yue then led the two women beside him downstairs.

At this moment, in the open space downstairs of the apartment building, there was a square, large metal cube. This was the backup plan he had prepared, a building built up of pure iron blocks!

With a pickaxe in his hand, he swung it repeatedly at the metal cube in front of him, and solid iron blocks peeled off from it one after another.

In a short while, a heavily reinforced luxury bus appeared in front of the three of them.

At this moment, the inside and outside of the bus were completely filled with three layers of copper foil, tightly covering every corner.

There are many ways to prevent electromagnetic pulses, and using this type of superconductor metal for isolation is one of the most common methods.

Therefore, Liang Yue, who had analyzed the plot early on, had also specifically collected a lot of this copper foil during his daily monster-slaying process.

“Buzz~”

Sure enough, although Liang Yue's protective measures were all hearsay, and it was the first time he had actually implemented them, the effect was obviously good.

Along with the buzzing of the engine, Shizuka-sensei successfully ignited the engine, and with a step on the accelerator, the bus immediately shot out.

Still that familiar driving style, under the operation of this blonde female driver, they rushed out of the apartment block in front of them in just a few breaths, drifting and disappearing at the end of the corner.

… …

At this time, the Takagi residence, because of Liang Yue's presence, was not besieged by zombies as in the original plot. After all, the zombies in the nearby blocks had already been cleaned up by him.

However, the detonation of the nuclear bomb and the sudden arrival of the electromagnetic pulse also caused a panic.

Fortunately, the head of the Takagi family, Soichiro Takagi, was a very prestigious person, who timely stabilized everyone's emotions and ordered people to light gas lamps inside and outside the house.

The lights dispelled the darkness of sunset, illuminating the entire Takagi family's estate.

When Liang Yue and the others drove to the gate, the technical personnel and their families who were sheltered by Soichiro Takagi were collectively eating large pot meals in the spacious courtyard.

Looking at it at a glance, under the backdrop of the orange lights, a bit of warmth actually arose here~

“You've finally arrived. Not bad~ You even knew to prepare a bus. It will be just right to use tomorrow.”

Regarding the arrival of Liang Yue and the others, don't look at how impolite Saya Takagi's words are, but in reality, this twin-tailed girl had already been looking forward to it.
