Divine Punishment

The outskirts of the plutonium bomb's explosion.

Smoke and dust filled the air.

Shadoman rose from the dust like a walking corpse.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

The moment he drew a breath, he felt the searing heat in the air pour straight into his lungs, nearly setting them ablaze.

His vision was a blur. Only after great effort did he barely manage to make out his surroundings...

Flames!

Flames burned everywhere!

Some of the Cavemen were still burning, their bodies exposing heaps of white bones as flames danced between the gaps.

Farther away, there were also dark figures...

They were not figures, but ashes formed when people had been incinerated in an instant.
