"What?"
"Bakemonos! Who the hell did this!"
Even Huang Ban Meizhi, who is usually calm and composed, couldn't help but sweat on her forehead.
A nuclear leak is not a 'small matter' like using military technology to nuke Huangban Tower, even dumping waste into Night City's groundwater is trivial in comparison.
After all, Mizuki doesn't drink that water, so it wouldn't harm her in any way.
A nuclear explosion would at most destroy one tower. Reinforced concrete buildings are still very robust, and the fission reaction of a nuclear bomb would be relatively clean, with at most a few kilograms or dozens of kilograms of radioactive material. You just need to hide for two or three years and then come back.
But nuclear pollution can easily involve hundreds or even thousands of kilograms. If it's wastewater, it can even reach hundreds of tons. If an explosion sends this waste into the sky, the whole of California would suffer. Not even Mizuki could escape radiation contamination.
