Chapter 497: Mystery
Factory collapse? ”
When the scientists in the Fox Country heard about the collapse of the steel mill, their first reaction was that I heard a joke today.
But from the serious expressions of his fellow players, he realized that this was a real thing, and the factory had really collapsed.
"Is it really collapsing?" Player [Phantom Nights 0] asked.
"It's collapsed, and a lot of people died." The player [Pink Diamond Aristocrat] nodded, and took out another document, which was an official announcement to the public.
This is only a temporary notice, saying that the factory collapsed for unknown reasons, a large explosion occurred, and the cause of the accident is currently under investigation.
[Phantom Night 0] looked down at the announcement and smelled an unusual breath, "Something is wrong, it can't collapse, hurry, let's take a look at the scene." ”
He decided to gather the players to watch together, there were not many players left in the city, only more than twenty, and the other players went to the east and west battlefields on the border to stop the attack of the Tomorrow Country tanks, and there was no way to stay in the capital.
In order to avoid being overwhelmed, he held a short meeting to brainstorm and analyze the truth behind the collapse of the factory.
Ten minutes later, five players and a group of well-armed orcs head to the factory where the incident occurred.
The other players have a large sniper in their hands, and they cover them from high ground and nearby, closely monitoring possible enemy attacks.
Phantom and Pink Diamond arrived at the site of the collapse, and the dust was still in the air, and thick black smoke covered the entire collapsed building.
Half an hour ago, the steel mill collapsed for more than ten seconds, the entire building collapsed, the roof beams and pillars fell, the roof fell to the ground, and then a large explosion occurred, the pillar of fire rushed into the sky, the explosive projectile injured a small number of orcs, and the other orcs hid far away.
Now there is no explosion, but the flames are still burning, but the flames are not big, far less terrifying than imagined.
The apparition crossed the cordon, and the orcs saluted, but he ignored it and stepped into the smoke zone.
He shouted loudly, and the sound waves sent through the smoke, touching the upside-down stones, the soft sand, and penetrating into the stones.
The apparition heard the location of the corpse, the sound of the steel material, and the position of the bulky stone.
"Is there anything unusual?" Pink Diamond stepped in and asked.
"Not yet." The Phantom shook his head.
"Looks like we're going to have to look into it."
The prestige of the scientist is great, and there are also people who serve in the military department among the players, directing the soldiers on the scene to extinguish fires, carry rocks, and clean up the field.
Because of the heavy loads on the site and the huge steel far beyond the strength limit of the orcs, they had to hire an excavator driven by a steam engine to slowly clear the site.
As the day passed, half of the site was cleared, and the pits buried under the steel and various machines were dug out.
It's full of placer, soft sand, not dirt.
"The foundation was vandalized, which was the main cause of the landslide." The player has a keen eye and deduces the main cause of the collapse after a little analysis.
"What kind of skill is it to make the foundation of a building sandy, we players can't master such a powerful skill." Someone asked, frowning deeply.
"Could it be an unknown orc race skill?"
Scientists can't help but think of the racial talent of orcs, orcs are the lucky ones of the orc plane, their bodies have better growth than humans, and the racial talents are also varied, and there are always some unknown races whose talents can work wonders.
The ruins exploration project led by the Great Monkey Country and the Great Ape Country clearly pointed out that the awakened orcs of various races are the key to clearing the ruins, and they instructed other countries to collect a large number of orc awakened people, regardless of race, the more the better.
"It should be an orc skill, there can't be a mistake, it's impossible for us players to master this skill." After another field probe by the Phantom, he came to a positive conclusion.
The player's skills are severely limited by the main god, and he can't use the skills of the fantasy system, and it is difficult to transform the material structure of the building foundation alone, at least he can't imagine any ordinary skills with similar effects.
After a while, a soldier ran into the collapse on his bicycle, panting and sweating on his forehead, as if there was an urgent message.
Pink Diamond met with the messenger and asked, "What happened?" ”
"My lord is not good, the land of the power plant in the industrial zone has subsided, the base of the motor has sunk by a quarter, and now the factory does not dare to generate electricity." After the biographer finished speaking, [Pink Diamond Aristocrat Noble] walked quickly over to the phantom.
The phantom's expression was solemn, and after a day, the other party began to do things again.
"Stay here, and don't let anyone suspicious in." Phantom and the other players ride their bikes out of the landslide and head to the Fox Capital No. 1 Power Plant.
The first power plant was built less than a week ago, and the equipment inside was all the latest things, and if the foundation collapsed, the consequences would be unimaginable, and it would be a return to the steam age overnight.
Fox Capital No. 1 Power Plant.
After the workers found the white marks on the ground, they reported it to the higher-ups, and the player took it very seriously, ordering nine out of ten employees to shut down and leave the power plant, leaving only a few people to monitor the sunken ground.
The power plant was shut down, the lights all over the capital stopped working, and the telephones could not be used continuously, so they had to temporarily work with small hand-cranked generators.
The orcs stared at the sink from afar, where only a corner of the base had sunk forty centimeters deep, and the turbine was embedded in the concrete floor, wrapped in a cloud of pure white sand.
The rift had long since ceased to split, it hadn't caused the rest of the world to sag, but the orcs couldn't help but be afraid.
When players arrive at the scene, focus on inspecting the place of sinking.
The half-wheeled turbine generator was stuck in the concrete, and due to the protection of the shell, it did not break to the core, but the motor was not working properly and needed to be overhauled by the players.
"What do you mean this time, only sinking one corner of the generator set, and not doing it elsewhere, is it to warn us?"
"This must be the work of the players of Tomorrowland, if someone didn't see the plane drop two things a few days ago, maybe it was them."
"Really human? I didn't see a parachute! ”
"It's not impossible that the awakening talent of the cat people can avoid falling and dying." The Phantom shook his head.
"Then the person who did the destruction this time is not the player, but the orcs of Tomorrowland?"
"Think about it, what player can drop without a parachute? It can only be an orc. ”
At this, the phantom was rarely silent.
Cat-Folk can turn into Black Shadows, but they can't have the ability to sand the ground, unless the player of Tomorrowland has developed a second innate ability on Awakening.
The more he thought about it, the more likely he was to awaken, and returned to the royal capital that night to hold an impromptu meeting, communicated with a group of players for a while, and threw out the concept of a second awakening.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think the Kingdom of Tomorrow may have developed a second awakening of the orcs." Phantom Night drew an equal sign and drew it next to the word "desertification" of the land.
The other players nodded silently, "Second Awakening Technique?" Listening to this reminds me of the dungeon plane. ”
"Maybe there's a third awakening." [Pink Diamond Aristocrat] took a sip of tea and mentioned it casually.
"Possibly."
