Chen Pi gently propped up the ground with his right hand, turned to face the crowd: "As we all know, the ocean, which accounts for more than 70% of the earth's area, is the cradle of human beings and all life, containing infinite mysteries and rich resources. ”

"But not many people have thought about it, the ocean is also a garbage dump for all kinds of pollution of our human beings, with the rapid development of industry and the crazy rise of the total population, the sewage and sewage produced on land every day are also increasing in large quantities, and tens of billions of tons of these things will eventually flow into the sea through rivers and rainwater, causing great harm to the ecological environment of the ocean, and these pollutants will be used on marine organisms, and eventually affect human beings."

"Mr. Chen is right, I have checked the relevant research data, water or marine environmental pollution can indeed cause high levels of pollutants in fish, and the most concerning are those heavy metals that can accumulate in human or biological bodies, such as lead, cadmium, mercury, etc., and organic matter that is difficult to degrade."

"The concentrations of these contaminants in the water may not be high, but because they can be enriched through the food chain, the concentrations in fish, especially those at the top of the food chain, can be very high, hundreds or even hundreds of thousands of times higher than those found in the water."

"Sharks, mackerel, cod, tuna and other fish are high in mercury, warning people to eat less of these fish, but in fact, contaminated marine fish not only contain mercury, but also heavy metals such as lead and cadmium, as well as other pollutants." "And some very difficult to degrade organic matter, such as organochlorine pesticides, have stable physical and chemical properties, so they can remain in the environment for a long time and can be transported over long distances. ”

"How is this possible? Doesn't that mean that all the fish in the sea cannot be eaten? Zhao Youcheng, who had been standing on the sidelines in shock, said, "Fish is an important source of food for humans around the world, and if fish are fastened, a large number of people around the world will starve to death." ”

According to incomplete statistics, only coastal cities have nearly one million tons of phosphorus discharged into the ocean through feces every year, and about 20 million tons of nitrogen fertilizer are applied every year in the world, of which more than 13 million tons are brought into the ocean by rivers, and more than 420 billion cubic meters of sewage are discharged into rivers, lakes and seas every year, polluting more than ten times its freshwater." Over the years, I don't know how many people of insight have repeatedly called for stopping the destruction of the natural environment, cherishing other living beings, controlling the global population, and taking the path of sustainable development.

But the result?

The Black Sea, known as a health resort, has been transformed into a huge cesspool, the Caspian and Aral Seas have become the Dead Sea, where nearly 90 percent of all species are extinct, and the production of various fish species has declined dramatically, some by more than 90 percent.

"Well, now, the old accounts that have been accumulated for many years, the sea is beginning to settle with humans, no matter what the reason for this damn poison came about, and how it enters the sea, the reality now is that everyone, in recent years, and even in recent decades, don't want to eat seafood." Chen Pi said hatefully.

Chen Pi's sudden anger surprised everyone, in the eyes of everyone, Chen Pi has always been a person whose joy and anger are not obvious, especially anger, which is an extremely rare thing, Chen Pi's mood has been extremely bad at this time, he has a strong premonition, the appearance of this plague, absolutely inseparable from human beings.

Man's years of wanton harm to the natural world have finally borne fruit that is unbearable even for mankind, and he, who has always wanted to be an inaction, has to intervene in this matter.

In fact, from the very beginning of this war between humans and all walks of life, Chen Pi had no intention of helping humans, nor did he intend to help the demon clan or Rakshasa Huangquan, he just wanted to be a quiet bystander, whether it was the human being greatly weakened by the demon clan, or the demon clan was finally driven back to the demon world, there was no essential difference for him.

Humans with a huge population have now become "locusts" in the human world, frantically devouring everything, including the future of this race itself, since even the fairy world has the intention of weakening the human race, and the result is not completely beneficial to the future of mankind, why should he bother with this little bit of nosy.

Since the immortal realm intends to give these cultivators the opportunity to "put on a show", why should he make a stumbling block from it, not to mention that he can also take this opportunity to make a big knock and take a sharp breath of the evil qi in his chest.

It is enough for him to protect the people and things he wants to protect, and Chen Pi believes that he can do it with his own strength. According to his plan, as long as the situation is more stable and the remnants of the Nether King's poison are cleared, he will wait and see what happens, but the appearance of this strange plague has completely disrupted his plan, and he already has to take care of it, otherwise, with the plague so ferocious, he and the people he wants to protect may not be able to escape this difficulty, and this kind of thing that he has to do makes his heart very dull.

Zhao Youcheng and the others looked at each other by his words, no one thought that Chen Pi suddenly lost his temper, although it was not aimed at anyone present, but everyone still felt a little embarrassed, and they had the heart to say a few words to Chen Pi to ease the atmosphere, but they were all afraid of provoking the fire, so that Chen Pi's nameless anger fell on their heads, so everyone look at me, I look at you, no one took action.

In the end, Zhao Youcheng boldly broke the deadlock, handed a cup of herbal tea to Chen Pi, and said softly: "Senior, senior, you dissipate your anger, we all understand these truths you said now, but the matter has come to this, let's hurry up and think of a way to remedy it, this is a major matter related to the life and death of billions of people." ”

"Hmph, now I know that it is a major matter related to the survival of billions of people!" Chen Pi muttered in a low voice, although his voice was low, but all the people present were deaf and clear-sighted, and who didn't hear it.

At this moment, the mobile phone in Zhao Youcheng's arms rang again.

The call was made by Tian Songzi, who first informed Chen Pi that his suggestion had been notified, asking for an urgent ban on the sea, and at the same time reported him bad news that a patient had also been found on the reservoir island.

"Another unlucky guy has been added." Chen Pi's heart is extremely heavy, and the policy of high economic development in exchange for the price of environmental pollution has finally come to the day when nature will take revenge on humans.

Will their hometown be spared?

This question is like a boulder, pressing on Chen Pi's heart and making him breathless, although five days ago, he had already notified that a large number of supplies were purchased, and all the relevant personnel were sent to the oasis for resettlement, but now it seems that the action must be accelerated, once the plague lands, the flow of personnel will inevitably be greatly restricted, and there is also a big problem with security.

"It's just a matter of time." Chen Pi sighed secretly, the plague landed, and it was really impossible to prevent it.

"Mr. Chen, I just received a message, I think you will be interested." Lin Xingchen's words interrupted Chen Pi's thoughts.

Chen Pi looked at Lin Xingchen's face as if the mountain rain was coming, and said with a wry smile: "What's the bad news?" ”

Lin Xingchen said with a heavy heart: "The team chasing the Nether King has sent back the news, they have wiped out most of the Nether Monarch, only the leader of the Nether King who fought with you is still missing, and there are at most three or four subordinates by his side, they suspect that the Nether King leader is deliberately using most of the Nether King to attract their attention, and he is hiding in the shadows to make some small moves, let us be more careful." ”

"It's not bad news, is it?" Chen Pi asked strangely, although it was not all wiped out, but the Netherworld Monarch Great Tribe Network, how could it seem that it should be a good thing.

"They won easily, almost effortlessly, because the Nether Kings were sick." Lin Xingchen whispered in Chen Pi's ear.

Chen Pi's heart shook violently, he looked at Lin Xingchen in horror, and said in disbelief: "Could it be that you say." ”

Lin Xingchen nodded speechlessly, confirming Chen Pi's guess.

"What about the pursuers? Do they have any problems now? Chen Pi asked, the shock in his heart was simply indescribable, although from the point that cultivators would also be infected, he had deduced that the Demon Clan and Huangquan might not be spared, but once the conjecture was verified by the facts, the horror in his heart still increased unabated.

"Fortunately, only four personnel came into contact with the Nether King, and the others got the news in time and are safe and sound." Lin Xingchen said.

It turned out that in the process of pursuit, the four people in charge of tracking first discovered the anomaly of the Netherworld Monarchs, they all seemed weak, their movements were slow and procrastinating, and they no longer acted like the wind in the past, and the four people who were puzzled boldly rushed over, easily knocking all the twelve Nether Monarchs to the ground. At this time, they found that these Nether Monarchs seemed to be sick one by one, and the four of them were shocked, but fortunately, they notified the followers in time, and no one had any contact with them again, and the four people and the twelve Nether Kings were all left in the mountains now, and there was no need to worry about their lives for the time being.

"Twelve high-ranking Nether Monarchs were all captured alive, which was simply unthinkable in the past." Lin Xingchen's face showed a look that seemed to be smiling, "We still seem to have underestimated its power. ”

"Another race has been infected, I don't know what the current situation of the demon race is?" Chen Pi looked in the direction of Liangtai City, and the uneasiness in his heart increased with the times.

Chen Pi's foreboding was fulfilled three days later.

Like dominoes, patients were announced one after another along the coast.

In just half a month, more than dozens of cities have announced the emergence of emergency martial law.

The whole world was in a panic.

At the first time, the WHO quickly organized scientists to find effective drugs as soon as possible, and issued a proposal for joint research in a timely manner.

But think about it, do it.

Although countries have the money to contribute and the strength to contribute, it is completely impossible to complete the pathological analysis of this inexplicable disease in a short period of time, and then find effective treatment and prevention methods. So, the plague is still on the rise, and the public's sense of fear is growing.

However, to everyone's relief, the monsters in Liangtai City did not take this opportunity to attack other places, and the images transmitted by the three satellites monitoring the area all the time confirmed that they were indeed staying in Liangtai City alive.

However, this news fell on the ears of Chen Pi and those cultivators, but it made them feel deeply worried, the demon clan could not just give up the good opportunity to expand so easily, the reason why they did not move was probably because of something unknown in Liangtai City or within the demon clan, and it was very likely that there was also the spread of plague among the demon clan.

On the balcony on the top floor of the tallest building in Liangtai City, there stood a beautiful woman dressed in a white light veil, her beautiful black hair fell all the way to her waist, a delicate peony flower pinned to her hair, Gu Pansheng's phoenix eyes, slender willow eyebrows, and small and delicate nose, all of which constituted a perfect face.

The beautiful woman's gaze patrolled the entire urban area of Liangtai, the once prosperous city has now become a lifeless ruin, the streets of the past are full of rusty vehicle wreckage and human mutilated white bones, countless ugly strange frogs crawling on the streets, and the whole city is stenching.

"Shu Zhong, Zhu Zhu, how is the recent demonization work progressing?" The beautiful woman chuckled, "It's hard for you two to stay in such a fun-free, smelly city for so long. ”

Shu Zhong and Zhu Yu hurriedly bowed and said, "Fairy Xie praises, the demonization work is going very smoothly now, but." ”

"Just what?" Seeing the two demons with a sad face, the beautiful woman asked repeatedly.

Nagisa Swallow secretly pushed Shu Zhong, and Shu Zhong said in a low voice: "I don't know why recently, the number of strange frogs and earthworm deaths after the successful demonization has increased greatly, and we suspect that it is because of that strange plague, but for safety reasons, Nagisa Swallow and I have not investigated in detail, so we can only say that we have some suspicions." ”

Shu Zhong said while secretly raising his eyes to look at the face of the beautiful woman nervously, this woman is beautiful, but she is the boss of the two, this time the demon clan returned to the human world, and it was sent by the major forces in the demon world respectively, and then screened and designated by the demon king. This woman is one of the commanders of this operation designated by the demon king, although the ability of the demon clans who came to the human world this time is almost the same, but against the will of the demon king, and when she returns to the demon world, she will never have a good life.

"Well, that's right." The beautiful woman lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then said, "The plague that happened in the human world this time is very strange, not only is it extremely ferocious, but even the people of our demon clan can't avoid it, in the past few days, nine ethnic groups have notified me of the epidemic in our clan, asking us to find a way to treat it as soon as possible." ”

"I have already informed Lin Chen, I want him to come back as soon as he finishes his work, I hope he can have a way, your demonization work will also be put aside for the time being, and when the cause of the plague is found out, it is not too late for us to launch an offensive against the human race, now the human race is busy preventing the spread of the plague all day long, and there is no energy to deal with us, you can go out to the human society to relax, but you must pay attention to safety."

Hearing the beauty say this, Shu Zhong and Nagisa couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, unexpectedly not only did not receive the scolding, but also were allowed to rest, this is really an unexpected joy, in this stinky city, the two demons have long been bored, and hurriedly thanked them one by one.

The beauty smiled slightly: "These days, the two of you have also been tired, and Lin Chen and I can't take care of this matter, so this burden falls on the shoulders of the two of you, in a few days, when everyone all wakes up, you will not be so happy, and when you return to the demon world in the future, I will definitely ask the demon king for the two of you." ”

Shu Zhong and Zhu Yu couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Thank you for the fairy's kindness, the two of us will definitely do our best to complete the work assigned by the fairy, and make sure that the fairy is satisfied." "To be able to get the reward of the Demon King, that is the supreme glory that all the demon clans in the demon world dream of, just for this, the two demons will definitely do their best to complete the work sent by the beautiful woman.

"You explain the things here, you can go, remember to keep a low profile, now there are a large number of cultivators concentrated here, although your strength is far superior to theirs, but you will not understand the truth that ants bite and kill elephants." The beauty said two more words, and then waved her hand to let the two demons leave.

She looked with disgust at the tattered and pungent stench of the city under the buildings, which was the result of the passage of a typhoon a few days ago, which brought several heavy rainstorms and washed many people and rotting corpses into the sea. Otherwise, the smell of the whole city is even more disgusting under the sun that has been scanning for the past two days.

The beautiful woman said to herself: "These two guys who don't have the slightest aesthetic eye have caused the whole place to be full of these ugly strange frogs now, and if you don't let them stop, the whole thing will be made smelly by them." ”

"It's been so long since I came to the human world, I haven't been to human society to see the way of life of modern humans, and now it's idle, Lin Chen will have to return for at least three days, what's the point of me staying alone in this stinky veranda?" This thought suddenly flashed through her mind, and then it had a great temptation for her, and the beautiful clothes and beautiful jewelry that she had seen in the strange things that Shu Zhong and Nagisa had called TV flashed through her mind, and made her even more excited.

"Regardless of it, both of them dare to go, and what don't I dare." The beautiful woman gritted her teeth, and her figure disappeared from the building.
