Couldn’t read partition map when deleting APFS container


I’m trying to clean install macOS 11.5.1 via a bootable USB. But I couldn’t find the internal SSD through the onscreen installation steps. I searched Google, trying fixing this problem, and found this command: diskutil zerodisk force disk0. So I tried this in the command line. Now I realize I really shouldn’t do that. I think after this, the partition map becomes corrupt. When later found and execute the diskutil apfs delteContainer disk0s2, it returned the error:

Couldn’t read partition map.

Here are the result of the command: gpt -r show disk0 and diskutil list. I couldn’t get the text to another computer, so it’s an screenshot. Sorry for the inconvenience.

If more information is needed, please tell me.

disk0 and disk1 is the internal SSD. I don’t know why there’re two identifiers for it. disk2 is the bootable USB installer.
