At first, this news did not attract much attention. After all, it had not happened within the country. However, Nevada was still rather chaotic at the moment, and any residents who had felt the earthquake were somewhat worried.
But Area 51, which knew the truth, had already descended into complete chaos. They had lost not only an underground base, but also four to five hundred researchers, security personnel, and others inside the underground research facility.
Moreover, the tremors caused by the massive explosion had resulted in casualties beyond just the underground research facility. As the largest secret base in the United States, there was more than one underground base here.
Another underground base had also suffered a major collapse. Buildings including the airport runway, terminal, factories, and more had collapsed.
At least a thousand people had died at the scene alone. Furthermore, the massive explosion had detonated within an underground space, and that underground space was at a sufficient depth.
The terrifying explosion seemed to have affected the stability of the region's crust. Less than ten minutes after the first "earthquake," a magnitude 5.3 aftershock struck the area. This time, it was a real earthquake, with a focal depth of twenty-eight kilometers.
The entirety of Area 51 had been mobilized. Everyone who needed to be evacuated and could be evacuated had been pulled out first. Huge cracks in the runway had made it impossible for aircraft here to take off, while other collapsed workshops and buildings had exposed quite a few secrets.
Many satellites were frantically clicking their "shutters" above it.

"What major incident?" Kamp
