Invisible City, Day 8, Natural Climatology Institute.

It's past twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, by which time most of the researchers have left their posts, and only Rarity's team is still working overtime to study the water purification plan.

Although a pure water source has been found in the eastern mountainous area before, this amount of water can only meet the needs of the moment, and it is impossible to supply a town stably for a long time. Therefore, only by finding a way to purify the water source can we fundamentally solve the urgent need. As an expert in this area, Rarity has the responsibility of human survival, and naturally she will not dare to delay for a moment.

"Huh?"

When Researcher B was preparing the antidote, he suddenly found that the chemical materials in his hand had run out, and immediately went to the experimental cabinet next door and turned it upside down, and then walked back empty-handed:

"The ammonium carbonate ran out and I couldn't find it next door. ”

“......”

Rarity gave him a silent glance before noticing the time on the wall clock, "Then let's get here tonight, you guys can pack up your things and go to rest, and I'll call the people at the factory." ”

"I'm off work, I'll continue tomorrow!"

"Pack up!"

"I'm a little tired, I need to get some sleep. ”

After the researchers packed up their things, they yawned and left.

Rarity, on the other hand, stays in the lab and makes phone calls until she wakes up the chemical plant's night watchman and promises to deliver materials overnight. At this time, the laboratory building was empty, so she boiled some hot water in her office, wiped her body, and then curled up in her chair with her clothes on and fell asleep.

Time passed slowly, the cold wind hit, and the branches and leaves of the trees outside the window swayed, like thin claws, shaking there. After some time, she was awakened by a damp musty smell, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that an experimental report in front of her desk had actually returned.

Not only the experiment report, but also the tabletop, ceiling, floor, and even the glass were covered with a layer of wet moisture, as if it had been soaked in water.

"The resurgence of the tide can't be so outrageous, right...... Let's hope it's not a monster. Rarity is wary of monsters she's seen, and she gets nervous at the slightest abnormality.

She took off her high heels, stepped on the slippery, damp floor and crept to the door, quietly observing the outside world through the cat's eyes.

The whole corridor was silent at this time, and only the clear sound of water droplets could be heard, which was so harsh in the quiet of the night. The narrow corridor was like a bathroom at this time, and the air was filled with dewdrop-like water stains, and the air was filled with the smell of sea. The lights also became dim and dim at this time, flickering and flickering, and there hung limply.

Rarity shuddered at the cat's eye as she suddenly found herself in the lab building, as she looked like a fading lady staggering in the dampness.

When did this change begin?

It seems that since the typhoon, the aging rate of the laboratory building has accelerated a lot, and it has only been two or three days that it has shown a dull appearance.

Not only the laboratory building, but also the entire city seems to be aging at an accelerated rate......

呲——呲呲——!

Although the lights in the hallway were flickering on and off, they were never completely broken. Now like an old man who is about to die, he may breathe out his last breath at any time.

Phew——!

Suddenly, a gust of wind blows from the back of Rarity's head, and she subconsciously turns her head to find that the dark sky outside the window is shaking, fluctuating with a strange sparkling glow.

"What's that!?"

When Rarity sees this, her body suddenly cools and her mind begins to think wildly.

Doodoo ——!

At that moment, there was a rapid ringing of the phone at her desk, so clear in the silence of the night that she almost jumped on the spot.

"Stop ringing, please stop ringing!"

Rarity quickly pounces on her desk and quickly picks up the phone, and then hears Evan's voice:

"Are you still working overtime?"

"Yes, come and save me! something strange has happened to me!" she said as if she was holding a life-saving straw, lowering her voice and hurrying.

"Did you notice that the room was damp again, there were water stains everywhere, and the air could smell a salty smell similar to the seaside? ”

"yes, yes! What are you ...... Do you know that clearly?"

Rarity's mind is a mess when she hears this, but her fear and timidity have been diminished.

"Don't worry, you're not in danger for the time being. What is the specific situation...... Just walk to the window and look up. I'm going to patrol now, and I'll bring someone to find you. Evan let out a sigh through the microphone and hung up.

"Look up?"

Rarity puts down the microphone in shock, turns around and sees the sparkling light in the night sky again, then curiosity replaces fear and she sprues to the window.

The cold wind whistled, the darkness outside was infinite, and the entire sky was submerged in heavy water, and the horizon was connected along a long, rounded slope.

If you look down from the high altitude of the stratosphere, you can see a whirlpool of water thousands of kilometers in diameter, covering the entire city like a spiral cloud band of a typhoon. It was like a huge glass cover, with countless twisted ripples rippling on the surface, covering the ground tightly, and the invisible city stood in it as if it was some kind of model enclosed and protected.

“......”

As if her soul had been drained, the female researcher looked up at the sky in distraction, silently opened her mouth, and froze by the window like a sculpture, not moving for a long time.

Gollum——!

The ocean covering the sky is filled with water bubbles floating from top to bottom, each bubble is about ten meters in diameter, just like a lonely boat riding the wind and waves in the sea, crumbling and floating in the wind and waves.

Looking up from Rarity's current angle, you can even see ocean currents mixed with plants on the ocean floor. The dim blue inside the sea, groups of fluorescent jellyfish swim slowly, their bodies stretching and shrinking, and the fluorescent light blue bodies appear peaceful and quiet.

And as she was sluggish, more and more people saw this picture, and the whole city soon became noisy at night. In a short time, a gust of wind blew in the distant sky, causing thousands of waves on the canopy, and the sound of splashing suddenly drowned out everything.

One by one, one by one

Early in the morning, Natural Climate Institute, Rarity's office.

Evan, White Bear, Seal, Beholder, Erica, Rarity, Researcher A and Researcher B, eight of them sit in a circle around the desk with dark faces.

Outside the window, the sky is covered with a wide sea of water, and the surface reveals a shallow shadow of a little sunlight penetrating through the surface. The silvery waves rose and fell one after another, dragging the dim and ethereal light on the ground, making people feel a sense of crisis at every moment.

"That, I didn't mean to make things difficult for you, I just wanted to ask how to deal with the current situation......"

The seal had his back to the sea outside the window, his chin supported by his fingers crossed, the backlit shadows blurring his appearance, and his eyes were directly covered by two dark shadows under the sunken eye sockets.

"I'm a technician who studies water purification, and I'm good at chemistry. Should I consult a physicist in this situation?" Rarity tilted her face back and rested the back of her head in her chair, her voice weak as a gnat.

"Actually, we did consult with physicists before we came. ”

The white bear glanced up at her, and when he said this, his tone suddenly became low: "But after they saw the sea water above their heads, they all burned their books on physics, and they were probably praying at the temple at this time." ”

“......”

Rarity silently glances at the water outside the window, revealing a serious expression:

"Seriously, I want to be religious now, too. ”

"It's a bit of a stretch. ”

Evan coughed, took out a mineral water bottle from his pocket, and handed it to the female researcher with an unknown face: "Actually, we are here mainly to let you test whether the sea water in the sky has toxins and whether it can be purified." ”

"This?"

Rarity takes the bottle of mineral water in surprise and shakes it vigorously in her hand, "How did you do that?

"Not planes, not hot air balloons. Ivan stretched out his hand and pointed out the window:

"This sea water does not simply cover the sky, but like a pot lid, it holds the whole city. If you walk to the foot of the mountain on the outskirts of the city, you can see where the earth and the sea are connected. ”

"Can this be?" Rarity is dumbfounded again.

"If the seawater is not poisonous and you have a way to filter it, we have solved the water problem. ”

The white bear sat on the wooden chair with his hands on his chest, twisted his eyebrows and said:

"Now the new problem is also these seawaters...... Although no one knows how they floated into the sky, as long as the hundreds of millions of tons of seawater lost their support and fell into the sky, you could see the mythical and legendary Great Flood. ”

"Maybe like the last storm, there are monsters in the water, if we find them and kill them, we'll be able to resolve the crisis!" Rarity explains, her eyes light up.

"And then, even if we can find monsters and kill them. After that, will the sea disappear into thin air, or will it be ......" Ivan said this, and fell silent, raising his hands silently, and then making a heavy falling gesture.

"Great, great flood!?"

Rarity's eyelids are pounding, and a heart in her chest almost bursts out of her throat, and she says nervously, "I'm just in charge of purifying the water, so don't be embarrassed about anything else." ”

"There's no one to make it difficult for you at this time, hurry up and check the water quality. ”

The seal waved his hand, deliberately showing a disgusted expression for her uselessness: "If we confirm that the sea water is harmless, we will go up and see the situation." ”

One by one, one by one

Rarity takes a sample of the seawater, and after a series of thorough tests, gives them a reassuring answer that the water is not poisonous.

As for whether it can be filtered into fresh water, that's what the researchers are worried about, and Evan and they don't care about this for the time being, so they leave the institute directly with the news. At this time, the government has already dispatched helicopters one step in advance, approaching the boundless blue sea water in the sky, ready to explore at zero distance.

The blue-black waters shook slightly, boundless, with a rumbling roar as the waves rolled. The sunlight penetrates the sea water and floats on the surface of the sea, like a layer of phosphorescent on the sea, and the approaching helicopter is soon covered with a layer of sparkle.

"The Explorer is close to the surface of the sea and everything is normal at the moment. We are preparing to drop an object into seawater to test its ability to accommodate foreign objects. ”

After the driver finished conveying the news to the command, he glanced at the angry waves that were close at hand, and his expression was obviously stiff. Hurriedly took a few deep breaths to barely suppress the uneasiness in his heart, and yelled at the person behind him:

"Launch, launch!"

"Understood!"

At this time, a policeman in the back of the helicopter pushed open the side door, and with a bazooka on his shoulder, he fired several rockets at the sea.

Bang bang bang——!

The warhead dragged a white trail into the sea, exploded a few downwards of water, and was re-submerged by the majestic wind and waves of the sea.

After patiently observing for a few minutes, the driver saw that there was no change in the seawater, so he instructed his colleagues to carry out the next experiment:

"This time prepare to throw heavy objects. ”

At the moment before his words fell, the raging waves suddenly swept in, and there was no other sound between heaven and earth at once!

Rumble——!

The waves rumbled, and the waves surged rapidly under the canopy of light and shadow. A thunderous sound came from high in the sky, and it seemed that some earth-shattering upheaval had taken place in the depths of the water.

"Something is wrong, prepare to evacuate!"

Seeing that the sea water was boiling instantly, the pilot immediately controlled the helicopter and planned to immediately surface the sea.

"Seawater...... There seems to be something terrible in the seawater...... It's coming out!"

At this time, the policeman carrying the bazooka before widened his eyes, stared straight at the sea, and his facial lines were distorted to the extreme, and then he showed a dull expression:

"White, I heard strange noises...... What's that sound!?Is it a hallucination?Who's talking to me!?"

"Randy! What the are you talking crazy about! Hurry up and get ready to skydive!"

The driver struggled to maintain the balance of the body, but found that his teammates were sitting stupidly in place and dreaming, and he was immediately angry.

Huhu——!

The water swelled more and more violently, and a large number of whirlpools quickly emerged, and they swallowed each other to form huge whirlpools. And in the depths of the raging waves, a huge viscous figure slowly emerged.

The splashing waves rushed to the face, and in the dark blue whirlpool, the huge dark green figure flashed at the bottom of the whirlpool.

Boom ——!

In the next moment, a huge tentacle hundreds of meters long and full of suction cups suddenly poked out, and directly rolled in the air, entangled the helicopter that was quickly moving away. Then he twisted it violently and directly pinched it into a shining fire, which swayed slightly and disappeared into the whirlpool completely.
