"Block the air! This hole is almost draining the air of the earth!! ”

In the cold and gloomy atmosphere, the expression of the monk who shouted these words was a little hideous.

"Okay, you'll find out what happened later, so come with us to the wall." At this moment, a pitch-black armor walked over, and the visor was open, revealing the face of He Shu.

Immediately, everyone climbed to the old Great Wall, and He Shu walked at the end, looking deeply into the "force field".

In his perspective, about a kilometer away, Cheng Lin's figure was frozen in mid-air, like an insect frozen in amber, and the direction he was facing was a huge "air mass".

After a dark comparison, He Shu determined that the "hole" was a little larger than before, which made his heart extremely heavy.

And I think back to the experience of this month, just thinking about it, it feels extremely absurd.

At first, everything was still calm, and a sudden strange force field appeared, which affected the time to a certain extent and interfered with the air pressure, signal, etc.

Then, Cheng Lin entered the exploration, originally everyone was not too worried, after all, they trusted his strength enough, but the development of things deviated from everyone's assumptions.

Cheng Lin was very fast at first, but slowly, he also "stopped", moving forward at an extremely slow pace, and did not respond to any form of call.

Seeing that a seven-rank realm was also caught in it, Shi Shengcun immediately ordered that no one should be allowed to enter it, and cooperated with the research department of the capital to carry out experiments.

In the process, an oval-shaped "hole" appeared in the sky, directly above the central area of the force field, which was vague and narrow at first, but slowly increased over time.

This hole cannot be touched, destroyed, or closed...... Just hanging in the air and starting to absorb the air around it.

Like a closed bag, a hole was broken.

The process was getting faster and faster, and the wind in the vicinity was getting stronger and stronger, and at first it didn't cause fear in people, but when the cavern's absorption capacity increased and began to devour the air at a terrifying rate, it immediately attracted global attention.

Soon, the terrible fact was confirmed that the surface air was flowing at a rate far faster than it could synthesize itself, in other words, oxygen was being lost to life on the Earth's surface!

According to calculations, some institutions even judge that if it cannot be stopped, according to the current situation, at most half a year, the oxygen on the earth's surface will be reduced to the point where it is impossible for humans to survive!

The report also caught the attention of all mankind and caused great panic, especially when the atmosphere in some parts of the world began to collapse and thin.

However, no matter what people do, they can't destroy or seal this "hole", and they can only build a large psionic shield to slow down the flow of air as much as possible.

However......

"How long will this last?" He Shu looked at the dark spots in the sky that were like the pupils of death, muttered to himself, immediately tightened his neckline, and quickly climbed up the city wall.

A month later, the city wall had been designated as a temporary blockade area, and "psionic amplifiers" were evenly placed on the city wall, like a dwarf and clumsy cannon, densely packed, and cultivators from all over the world gathered on the city wall, meditating cross-legged.

Each person held a wire in both hands, a silver wire, that could transmit psionic energy with minimal loss to feed the "amplifiers", and in front of each amplifier would be a beam of light, like a sharp sword, pointing high into the air, and converging to power the translucent "psionic shield" that flashed every forty seconds or so.

Without the existence of this facility, the "hole's" ability to swallow air would have been magnified to a terrifying level.

"Why, I heard those two people are back?" Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly, a slender armor ran from the distance of the Great Wall.

In the humming sound, the mask opened, and Song Jun's somewhat tired face was full of exhaustion.

"Yes, just came back," He Shu nodded, "as we had guessed before, their perception of time is very different from ours. ”

"That Cheng Lin ......," Song Jun asked, and then saw the figure still frozen in the distance, and his lips, which were dry and peeled due to lack of water, closed.

He went deeper, I'm afraid...... I won't be able to come back anytime soon. "What a statement.

According to those two people as a reference, even if Cheng Lin starts to return now, when he comes out, it will probably be more than a month later, and in reality, can they survive for a month?

He Shu thought a little confused.

Immediately, I remembered something: "Didn't you go to the ministry to report the situation?" I heard that the final plan above is out? ”

Song Jun restrained his expression and nodded seriously: "Yes, the plan has come out, and we must prepare for the worst." ”

"What do you mean?"

"According to current observations, there have been many regions around the world with a thinning of the atmosphere, which will trigger a series of chain reactions, including but not limited to ultraviolet burning, air pressure damage to the human body, and the most serious oxygen deficiency, so underground bomb shelters and sewer pipes have been opened above, and transformed into habitable spaces, and prepared to go underground to hide before the worst day comes." Song Jun said solemnly.

The wind ruffled her dry hair, and in those previously moist eyes, countless thin red threads were like spider webs.

He Shu's mouth moved, and in the end he didn't say anything, just looked at Song Jun and closed his armor and ran towards the central headquarters on the Great Wall.

He Shu slowly turned his head to look behind him.

That direction is the center of the capital, the southern end of the Great Wall.

His gaze seemed to cross the distance, and he saw the panic scene that was now pervasive in the once prosperous city, and under the haze, the breath of death enveloped the whole city, and the traffic had entered a state of control, except for the official vehicles, the rest of the private people were forbidden to go on the road.

"Ding-dong." The mobile phone in He Shu's pocket rang suddenly, he took it out, opened it, and saw that it was a text message, looking up at the central government, and the content was announcing an unprecedented super alert.

At this time, exactly another forty seconds passed, and under the dim clouds, a huge barrier flickered, and inside the barrier, the cyclone-like "hole" silently expanded again.

……

……

The sound of the wind in Cheng Lin's ears is getting louder and louder, he firmly grasps He Jian, carefully controlling the direction, his speed has been extremely fast, in such a strong wind, his title of "Wind Journey" has already been fully activated, and the fast "black spot" in front of him is getting closer and closer.

Finally, I don't know how long it took, he finally came to the "vicinity" of the hole.

This neighborhood showed that he was still the last distance from there, but Cheng Lin vaguely guessed that even if he was allowed to fly to a place where he was exhausted, he would definitely not be able to reach it.

Fortunately, this distance is enough to observe the fast "dark spots" well.

Yes, Cheng Lin's description of it is a little different from He Shu and others, it is not so much a "hole", it is indeed more like a speck, which is mainly reflected in its flat appearance.

Of course, the actual meaning is similar, standing here, Cheng Lin turned the direction of He Jian and "flew" a small amount behind him, so as to counteract the blowing force of the surrounding wind on him.

"It's ...... Universe? Cheng Lin looked carefully, his eyes shrank suddenly, in his observation, behind this "hole", there was a vast and cold space, pitch black, and scattered, tiny stars, really like a universe.

"But...... How could this be? Could it be that this universe is connected to the outer atmosphere? No, it's not that simple, the problem is the change in gravitational force, or the difference in potential energy, which is reflected in reality is the difference in air pressure, and this air is not sucked over, but pushed over. ”

Cheng Lin analyzed with his very superficial knowledge of physics.

And realizing that this thing was devouring the air on the earth, linked to the gathering of the abnormal wind outside before entering, Cheng Lin's face sank, and he suddenly realized a terrifying possibility.

"If this process can't be intended, will the air on Earth be drained? Make the whole planet a vacuum? ”

He admits that the idea is extremely bold, but given the nature of the deduction, he thinks it is very likely to be realized.

At this moment, the whistling wind in Cheng Lin's ears disappeared suddenly, and in his mind, the voice of the narrator emerged:

[You entered this strange position and witnessed the gap to another universe, you never imagined that different universes could fit so closely, close to a wall]

[Under your order, the two monks left this force field together, and found that in reality, a month has passed, which is not very difficult to understand, when there is enough power to distort the original space, time in different reference frames, there will be a significant difference]

[And the reason for these two may be very simple, it is just an "adhesion" of two adjacent worlds, as simple as a brick being removed from a courtyard wall shared with neighbors]

[Well, it doesn't seem to matter, the problem is that when it does, the process is already irreversible, and you are standing in a time dilation while the outside world is changing rapidly]

[The loss of air has caused a global panic, and compared to the loss of oxygen, the whole planet has become a fossil in a vacuum, and some more real problems have arisen]

[In some areas, the atmosphere is broken, and then the ultraviolet rays contained in the sun are splashed down without reservation, burning all the creatures bathed in it, and the lives have to try to hide, such as burrowing into the ground, or hiding in houses, but this is not a long-term solution]

[Due to the reduction of refractive light particles, the sky has become dark and gloomy, and the reduction of the atmosphere has made some people in the middle altitude inevitably suffer from "altitude sickness", and the situation in high altitude areas is even worse, thanks to the change in air pressure is not overnight, which gives people a valuable opportunity to adapt, but even so, a large number of people have become groggy, tinnitus, high fever, and pain]

[Because of the thinning of the atmosphere, the oceans have also changed, water has begun to evaporate, temperatures have become capricious, people have found that the days are hotter and the nights are colder, and this change is more severe almost every day]

At the same time as the voice of narration appeared, Cheng Lin turned around and looked down.

Because he had ascended high enough, his field of vision naturally became wider.

He found that the frozen scenes finally began to change, changing at such a rapid pace that it was like a set of slides showing up, flickering continuously.

He noticed a dense crowd of people on the Great Wall, and beams of light shot down and merged into a net.

The city in the distance became dead and depressing, and the army-green cars drove into the city, and the flow of people poured out in batches, chaos and order coexisted.

Soon, the sky was dark and it seemed to be night, but there were not many lights, and people seemed to start going underground, but this only seemed to delay death.

In a flicker, Cheng Lin saw that the huge "net" gradually dimmed, faded, began to crumble, and finally broke at some point.

The earth began to crack, everything became a mess, limited by his vision, he could not see the farther and wider areas, but since the capital was already like this, the rest of the place, I think it was ten thousand times worse.

[The energy network formed by the cultivators finally collapsed due to the energy problem, and as a result, "it" devoured the air even more frantically, and the entire earth was like a pond, originally filled with water, but at the moment, it dried up at a very fast speed]

[Finally, I don't know how long it took, the broken "hole" finally "healed", the absorption of air stopped, but the surface of the earth has almost become a vacuum, in the world, there are only a few tenacious life left, billions of human races are almost extinct, only a very small number of powerful cultivators survived, waiting in the dark years]

[However, the world is not always cruel, with the disappearance of the "hole", the earth's ecosystem began to slowly repair itself, which is naturally long, but it is still predictable in the end, and after a long time, the oxygen gradually recovered, and the life hidden deep in the ground slowly crawled out, but in the face, it was already a world full of holes and broken civilizations]

[I don't know how long later, this planet has become thriving again, and a new human society has emerged, but in the long historical struggle, most of the knowledge and memories about the past have been lost, and with the replacement of generations of human beings, the former glorious era has become a "legend", and in this new world, people in the post-civilization era have raised bonfires and swords, and began to explore the almost boundless darkness]

[The reincarnation of an era is over]

[As for the dark era between the "post-civilization era" and the "prehistoric era", it is often referred to as the "cataclysmic era"]

……

[The task system is opened, return to the safe house after completing the stage tasks, end the deduction, and get rewards]

[Quest (Part 1): You wake up from the cracks of time and open your eyes to see the world. You decide to move forward and explore.
