Chapter 537: The icing on the cake or the charcoal in the snow?
Fog...... It's really big.
Li Chao stared at the tumbling white fog wave in the distance, and the visual distance was compressed from the usual 80 meters to less than 20 meters.
This is not normal for a temporary base that has been carved out as a security zone.
And there was also fog on the sea.
Seeing this, Li Chao turned around and ran back to his room, and after knocking a few buttons on the console, he frowned and stared at those parameters, and it took about ten seconds to breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's good that it's not a monster event."
Generally, abnormal fog concentration is a precursor to the activity of giant beasts, and the area they are in has just experienced a fierce battle, so they have to be careful about the increase of fog at all times.
"Li Chao, it's foggy outside."
"Well, it's been found that there are no anomalies in the monitoring."
"The fog analyzer is also not abnormal."
The conversation between the chief and Li Chao in the communication chain was naturally heard by others, and everyone's tone became relaxed again after everyone confirmed that it was safe.
The camp continued to be in full swing.
……
"Moo?"
A large rhinoceros head is lifted from the sea, and a jellyfish that does not dare to move is strung from its horn.
The pair of little eyes full of human colors were full of doubts.
The head of a moon-white rhinoceros was raised in the rear, and these keenly perceptive fellows were also aware of the abnormality under the leader's reminder.
It's not dangerous, it's something familiar.
It's as familiar as the crystal snapping turtle right now.
That's why the leader of the moon-white giant rhino who was leading the clan to open meat would look up curiously.
"Moo~"
It barked, and more than thirty fat rhinos, including it, floated up at the same time.
Then the crystal turtle shell beneath their feet was revealed.
The fortress floated like a hill, carrying the moon-white rhinoceros back to the shore.
As for why it replaced the rhinoceros bird and became a rhino turtle, it started ten days ago.
In the words of the owner, this is called a community of interests.
Or the biggest rhinoceros told it.
The fog on the sea is flowing and tumbling rapidly.
"Moo?" The Moonwhite Giant Rhino Leader finally couldn't resist asking their "landing ship" while heating a large squid with rhinoceros horn and tossing it to the diligent crystal snapping turtle.
【Fortress】opened his mouth to grasp the cooked squid precisely, and gave his own reply cautiously while chewing.
The deep sound waves clearly conveyed its meaning to the moon-white rhinoceros.
It's familiar indeed.
Because it was the closest creature to the battlefield that day.
It's the breath of that giant color-mimic starfish.
The aura between the mist behemoths is still very familiar, especially for the high-level behemoths that have also been beaten by their masters, the [Fortress] remembers it more clearly.
[There is no danger. 】
Finally, it summed up its answer in the affirmative.
The leader of the moon-white giant rhinoceros blinked, finally satisfying his curiosity.
It chewed on the delicious seafood, looked up at the misty sky, and suddenly missed the days when it fought and killed that man.
……
……
The fortress was not wrong in its judgment, it was indeed the giant mimetic starfish.
While it was eating the spirulina it had just collected, a tiny communicator was activated near its brain.
The sound of babbling is transmitted precisely to the brain.
Its tentacles, like train carriages, stretched out straight.
It's been about three days and nights since I heard this arrogant voice.
Now that I hear it, I still seem to be a little angry.
The huge body of the giant mimetic starfish shrank, it was obviously hiding in an area of 500 meters under the sea, and it was already a well-deserved overlord of this sea area, why did it still feel a little scared?
It cautiously glanced around, the icy waters giving it a comfortable temperature.
There are no natural predators.
Confirm security.
But why would you still want to listen to the little beast's babbling?
Well, it's not that I'm afraid, but for the need to survive!
Inexplicable thoughts give it inexplicable confidence.
After the tentacles stuffed the last clump of cyanobacteria into the mouthware, the giant mimetic starfish stretched lazily.
Gentle by nature, it has no intention of attacking humans, and it will not be at the same time.
It just used its own origin talent to slightly mobilize the direction of the fog in the nearby sea.
In the language of the person who beat it, it's called attendance.
After the shift, you will receive feedback on the new food locations from the island.
So the giant mimetic starfish is not resistant to this matter at all, and there is even some excitement in the depths of his heart.
Its tentacles raised slightly, and the giant color-mimicry force field of the watchman moistened things silently, and began to prop up silently above the sea area.
There were no errors in the detection of the temporary base of the Yan and Huang Army.
The changes in the dense fog on the surface of the sea really have nothing to do with the misty beasts, including this giant mimetic starfish that is ready to go to work.
The most fundamental reason is the submarine volcano that spews out blue magma.
In Lu Ze's information base, the volcano that can burst out of the blue glow of lava is not an active volcano under the sea in the traditional sense.
Instead, it has another name - [Planetary Rift].
Because of Lu Ze, the Yan and Huang armies achieved a comprehensive occupation of the northern waters of the treasure island early in this lifetime.
So this leads to the variable that this hidden planetary rift is triggered by coincidence.
This variable, in a strategic sense, can even be offset by the local superiority achieved by human beings.
When triggered, the planetary rift will erupt hundreds of times the amount of astral force dust in the normal area, which is an excellent opportunity for the misty beasts to evolve.
After about 10 days of triggering, it permanently changes the weather conditions in the surrounding area.
Although Lu Ze left the northern sea, the massive mist flags he led his subordinates planted were faithfully recording the fluctuations in the parameters of the entire sea area.
Viewing the data of these seas is a normal permission for the leaders of each team.
Even on the orders of their superiors, they must be compulsorily informed in order to provide valuable experience to subsequent Fog Pioneers.
Lu Ze never let go of the accumulation of bits and pieces of information, because this is the key to change from quantitative to qualitative.
In Lu Ze's calculations, from 12 noon today, it should be a period of rapid growth of fog in the sea area.
A day later, the maritime area control department will conduct a route assessment.
Two days later, when the sea team found that the ocean weather was comparable to that of the "fog cyclone", the original relevant route entered an irreversible process from de-escalation to cancellation.
Unfortunately, a safe route exclusively occupied by the City of Dongsheng happened to coincide with this fog area.
What's even more unfortunate is that today there happens to be a fleet of ships from the City of East Rising on their way back.
……
……
[Grinding Stone Fleet], the 9th caravan in the sequence of the Rising City, is mainly responsible for the trading of energy and mineral deposits, although the number of ships is less than that of other material procurement teams, but the importance is still too great.
The major families of Dongsheng City all hold corresponding shares in this fleet.
After all, no one would say no to wealth.
But compared to the previous complacent return, the situation at this moment is enough to sound the alarm for help.
The caravan captain and first mate looked at the completely chaotic dashboard at the moment, and their brains were buzzing.
"This is obviously a safe route...... How could there be such an exaggerated dense fog! ”
"Captain, what are we going to do?" The second officer looked at the senior leader.
"The sea area map in the offline situation can still be used to make simple direction judgment, and if the original route is withdrawn and then the route is changed, it will be delayed for at least a week!"
"So, my opinion is to follow the offline sea area map for a detour!"
At this moment, the captain of the grinding stone fleet showed the self-confidence of riding the wind and waves all year round.
"I agree with Captain Wu."
"Seconded."
The trio finalized.
The huge [Grinding Stone Fleet], under the command of the experienced Captain Wu, began a magnificent circumnavigation journey.
……
Twenty nautical miles away, the giant mimetic starfish starfish stared at the human fleet with some curiosity.
Why do you want to draw circles in place?
So before the next order arrives, is it working with the other party?
So the giant mimetic starfish, which thought it understood the thoughts of the high-level humanoid creature, did what it thought was the icing on the cake.
The mimicry force field spreads silently.
……
"Look, there's an island ahead!"
"There's one over there, too!"
On the lookout of the [Millstone Fleet], the seafarers shouted excitedly as they looked at the thinning fog.
In the captain's room, a subtle smile appeared on Captain Wu's face.
For a while, everyone was very happy.
