Your scenario is only applicable if the President and VP die virtually simultaneously.
Otherwise, once VP sworn in as President, nominates a new VP to be approved by both houses of Congress.

Right now, the House has no members, so it can’t happen, but it can if there occurred a vacancy in the Speaker’s position during a session when members have been sworn in.
