The sea that covered the sky fluctuated violently, and the waves fluttered for a long time, and gradually subsided.

Beneath the unpredictable blue waves, the behemoth that suddenly appeared quickly disappeared, but the few seconds from its appearance to the destruction of the helicopter had already caused a huge shock to the entire city's residents.

Although most people have accepted the existence of monsters after the typhoon, the monsters of the past can be destroyed as long as people plan carefully and dispatch a dozen people. And this time the monster that appeared was more than several kilometers long, and its limbs were fully spread to be an island, and it could not be effectively damaged without industrial heavy weapons, and even worse, this guy was still hiding in the water.

Even if the future were to hunt it down with all its might, it would be unknown whether there would be other monsters hanging upside down in the sea above the city. And even more terrifying than the monsters in the sea is the sea itself, this hundreds of millions of tons of waves fall from thousands of meters over, and the destructive power caused is immeasurable - enough to kill all the living people in the town in an instant!

The situation has deteriorated to such an extent that a large part of the population is already frightened, and it is difficult for them to believe that the government can do anything else, even if there are so-called qualified people to help. As a result, in the following days, more and more believers were baptized in the temple, and even a large number of cult organizations sprung up.

In the face of the collapse of the people's faith, the government is also helpless. After all, the resources and strength they can concentrate are limited, and they are no longer able to fight against monsters, and they can only rely on legitimate clergy to fight against those illegal organizations. All in all, the orders that emphasize unity, light, and hope are legitimate organizations, and those that are pessimistic, misanthropic, and emphasize apocalyptic fatalism must die, and they must be pulled out and repeatedly whipped out.

On the part of the qualified people, while working tirelessly to help the natives climb the technology tree, they also made a series of speculations about the cause of the formation of the 'Sea in the Sky'.

There are three conjectures:

One group believes that some goblins have the ability to defy gravity, and because of their presence, they can support this vast ocean.

The other group of people has the opposite view, they believe that this 'sea of the sky' has nothing to do with ghosts, but that ghosts are the unstable factor in the 'sea of the sky'. Their presence could cause the 'Sea of the Sky' to collapse and flood the entire town.

There are also people who believe that the 'sea of sky' is only an appearance, and that the source of the anomaly should be on the ground, otherwise there is no reason for it to be connected to the earth. Therefore, we should concentrate on investigating the ghosts on the ground, killing them, and maybe the 'Sea of Sky' will disappear out of thin air.

At present, these conjectures are not supported by evidence, and they are not very likely, so they have to put aside the controversy and investigate at the same time.

One by one, one by one

Invisible City, Day 10, at noon.

The town was plunged into darkness by the vast ocean, and the sun seemed to be sleeping. The eastern mountains were quiet, with the occasional birdsong or two, and soon drowned in the darkness. The withered yellow branches hung limply on both sides of the road, and the air was filled with the smell of death and silence.

An off-road vehicle, carrying Evan and others, galloped on a rugged mountain road.

Woowoo——!

The sea breeze was gusting and slightly chilly, and Erica in the back seat of the car subconsciously wrapped her coat tightly.

"The humidity in the air is getting heavier, the energy is getting strained, and now it's hard to dry your clothes. She touched the damp corners of Mauni's coat and grumbled boredly.

"So we're working on it. ”

The seal glanced at her and looked up at the blue sky:

"Yesterday someone had already put a lot of live test specimens into the sea, and the sea creatures are still alive. In other words, the sea above us can not only attract objects, but also the monsters inside are actually limited. ”

"You can't make a simple decision, the monster has a certain intelligence, and it is possible that it is fishing for our fish. ”

The white bear in the passenger seat supported his cheek with one hand, looked sideways at the rapidly retreating woods beside him, and said in a solemn tone: "We are going to detect the coordinates this time, and try not to explore deeper, after all, the deep-sea probe has been made." ”

"Don't worry, I won't mess around. ”

The seal was very confident, and he raised his legs with a big grin, and kept shaking: "Once I find out about the situation, I will pull the safety rope violently, and you can just drive me out." ”

"I'm also in the water, and I'm not at ease if you go alone. Evan said without squinting as he drove the SUV.

"That's even more fine. The seal quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"As long as the sea water does not cross the mark...... It doesn't matter how many monsters there are in the water. ”

Evan looked at the curved wall of water in the distance, the pupils in his dark eyes were constricted, calm like water, but there was an uncertain light flashing inside.

The ocean flowing towards the sky ahead is different from ordinary oceans, it seems deeper, more tranquil, and more dreamy. The sea surface is sparkling, and the sunlight penetrates through the outside world, like a powder coated with a layer of night pearls.

At the junction of the sea and the ground, the dark blue glow swayed slightly, as if it were a flawless crystal with a shimmering halo. The higher you go, the stronger the wind gets, and the waves get bigger, and the waves chase after the waves. The spray is white, and as the light is deflected, sometimes it resembles white clouds in the shape of fish scales, and sometimes it resembles shimmering blue lines.

From time to time, sea creatures leap out of the water in the sky and then fall to the ground at a height of thousands of meters and fall into a sauce, and the townspeople will pick them up to replenish their nutrition, and basically no one cares about them in the depths of the mountains. As the road became narrower and more rugged, the corpses of sea creatures in the woods also increased, giving off a disgusting smell after decomposing.

"It's such a waste, you can eat it clearly. ”

The seal looked at a large marine fish hanging from a tree branch and couldn't help but sigh.

"Now that energy is so precious that even gasoline is being distributed, it's impossible to drive people over and collect dead fish. The white bear covered his nose with one hand and said indifferently:

"If you come in on foot to collect fish, it will stink when you go out. ”

"You can live in the mountains!"

Erica interjected, and said with a longing on her face: "No pollution, fresh air, beautiful mountains and forests, cute animals, don't worry about no food, I can live in the mountains for a year!"

"You're not talking about mountains and forests, you're talking about fairy tales. The seal complained mercilessly.

"The most important thing is security. ”

As he drove, Evan explained, "The work of urban immigration started a few days ago, and it has not yet reached this place. If you go up the mountain by yourself, your life will not be guaranteed, after all, it is harassed by ghosts. ”

"You people don't understand romance. Erica turned her head in disgust, deliberately not looking at them.

"......" Evan, seals, and white bears have nothing to say.

One by one, one by one

When the off-road vehicle arrived at the edge of the sea, it was already about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and everyone got out of the car and searched around the same place to find the second sign that had been standing in the middle. When they came before, they set up signs every ten meters with the sea as the boundary, and there were ten in total. Now that the first sign is gone, the sea moves on to the second marker.

"This is probably the worst-case scenario. ”

Ivan sat on the marker, looking up at the curved wall of water that stretched for kilometers in front of him, and the temperature in his eyes dropped to freezing: "If the results of the other teams are the same as ours, it means that the sea is spreading towards the town from all directions. If it turns out like this, it won't be long before the whole town is swallowed up by the sea. ”

"Slowly approaching...... Deep sea?"

The white bear reflected the blue water in the depths of his pupils, stood in place and was silent, and let out a sigh after a long time: "Compared to this experience of slow death, it is refreshing to directly let the flood wash down." ”

"Don't think about it, maybe it's just narrowing it down. ”

The seal has changed into a wetsuit and a safety rope around his waist, the other end of which is already tied to the bumper of the SUV: "Let's forget about these worries and go into the shallow water to see how things go." ”

"That's right!"

Ivan stood up from the sign, walked to the trunk of the SUV, and removed the wetsuit, oxygen tank, and waterproof light inside. Then he began to put on his diving suit, and the Eye Demon was silent and adjusted the equipment for him. Although she has been fighting her spirits, she looks like her whole person is frozen in ice, giving people a feeling that she may be broken at any time.

After Ivan put on his wetsuit, he took a closer look at the expression on her face, and opened his mouth to speak. But he didn't know what to say, and finally spit out only a short syllable:

"Thank you. ”

"......" the Eye Demon smiled and nodded, not speaking.

"I'm advanced. ”

The seal walked over to the rising water, took a deep breath and relaxed, then reached out and touched the crystal surface. After seeing the shallow ripples of crystal clear water touching his fingertips, he slowly stretched his whole arm into the water, stirred it vigorously and said how he felt:

"I felt a suction, a force pulling me into the water, not a lot of force, a little bit of force to break free. ”

As he said this, he leaned sideways and entered a little more, and his expression quickly became solemn: "Although it is very weak, I can feel that the suction is getting bigger, and the deeper it goes, the stronger this force becomes!"

"As stated in the investigation report, the suction power will gradually increase after about three meters into the water, and the suction power will no longer increase after more than three meters. The white bear stared at his figure and nodded slowly.

"Then I'll try it at three meters. ”

"I'll go too, Erica will take care of the driving. ”

Evan walked over to the seal, and the two looked at each other before stepping into the ocean together.

One by one, one by one

After three meters of progress in the seawater, the suction force did not continue to increase, but was replaced by an upward force. This force is not the impact of the current, but rather resembles the anti-gravity floating, pushing them towards the sky along the arc of the water curtain.

Seals are very water-based, so they can stabilize their bodies, and Evan is even more penetrating and protective of his body, and he is not afraid of this upward force. So the two of them swam back to back, little by little, towards the depths of the water.

In the process, the duo discovered that the original mountainous terrain under the water had changed, with marine lichens beginning to appear, and algae could be seen at deeper depths. After another ten meters or so, you can already see all kinds of shallow-water fish, and there are clusters of coral on the ground—no one knows how this newly formed ocean has cultivated coral clusters.

Honestly, if it weren't for the fact that this sea of water envelops the entire city. In the turquoise waters, it is truly refreshing to see the variety of marine fish, colorful underwater corals, marine plants and well-organized fish.

But in the eyes of Ivan, there was an indescribable fear in the gorgeous and colorful beauty in front of him. It seemed to him that the entire ocean had formed a life, had a will of its own, and was slowly eating away at the air and land.

After advancing another ten meters or so, not only Evan, but even the seals sensed that something was wrong.

Because the sea water at this time is as clear and clear as the blue sky, and the brocade section is shining with golden waves, while the sea water in front of it seems to have no end, and the thickness of the sea is several hundred meters upward. Deeper, it suddenly became dim, as if it was a starless and moonless night sky, giving people a strange and inexplicable sense of gloom.

In such a situation, how does the sunlight penetrate the sea water and reach the sky above the city?

“......”

The seal's breathing became heavy, and suddenly he had a creepy feeling, as if the countless rays of light rippling in the sea were countless eyeballs, carefully observing themselves from all angles.

"That's it, let's retreat!"

Ivan gestured to his companion and immediately grabbed his arm, causing the water to shoot like an arrow to the ground of the forest.

Poof—poof——!

With the sound of two bursts of water in front of the other, Evan grabbed the seal's arm and galloped out of the water curtain and reappeared in front of everyone.

"What's wrong, what did you all see?" the white bear hurriedly greeted him.

"What the hell! What a few days ago it was mountainous, but now it's completely oceanic, and it's—it's like erosion!" said the seal, wiping the water stains from his face, and his face turned pale.

"What's even stranger is that the water is incredibly deep, at least 300 meters away. At such depths, we can see light on the surface of the sea...... Is this really sunshine!?"

“......”

After hearing his words, everyone couldn't help but look up at the sky, and the sea in everyone's eyes changed.

The surface of the boundless 'Sea of Sky' is shrouded in a layer of shimmering light, like a huge fishing net. The cold light that rises with the waves is like countless thin hooks, swaying slightly with the undulations of the fishing nets......
