The immediate aftermath sees significant population loss, but the long-term effects are dire: urban areas become uninhabitable, essential services like agriculture and healthcare collapse, and communication and transport networks disappear. This societal breakdown triggers famine, disease, and regional conflicts, embodying the chaos of an apocalyptic scenario reminiscent of the Four Horsemen.
