2049 A.D., February 8, 9:00 a.m. sharp.

Although human beings can no longer distinguish day and night with the sun, the lifestyle of "sunrise labor" still persists, which is the imprint of tens of thousands of years of human civilization and a kind of obsession in the bones.

The large luminous orbs emit a hazy glow characteristic of the early morning, and these rays act like a transparent barrier, trying to separate the darkness from the light. On the square platform in front of the Fengyun Science and Technology Building, there are two M1 large military suspension planes, the huge letter "Y" type fuselage has a double-track magnetic coil with a diameter of at least 12 meters on the rotors on both sides of the separation, this military suspension machine uses liquid nitrogen with electromagnetic acceleration, the maximum flight speed can reach Mach 5, equipped with 20 anti-pressure silos, is currently the most advanced military long-distance transport aircraft in China.

The conference hall on the eighteenth floor of the Fengyun Science and Technology Building was full of people. Eight black boxes were neatly placed on the long conference table in the center of the hall, and there were a total of thirty-two people sitting around the conference table, in addition to Lin Huoxiao and General Huang, there were also twenty-two soldiers in light armor and eight scientists.

"Everyone, the meeting begins." General Huang said, "Three days ago, our geological exploration team was attacked by an unknown external force in Mexico, and the whereabouts of all members are currently unknown. After nearly three days of carpet detection and search, it was found that the site of the incident had several strange signs of life, which indicated that humans may have come into contact with powerful mutated creatures in some sense. ”

The so-called "mutant organisms" are conclusions drawn from blood samples brought back by survey machines from the site of the incident. Through research, Lin Huoxiao's scientific research team found that in addition to human blood, there is also a kind of plasma with scarce genetic material and blood cells, which contains a highly toxic substance, and the organism that can carry this blood is not found in the currently known species. Lin Huoxiao immediately informed General Huang of this astonishing news, so after discussion among the high-level leaders, it was decided to assemble a well-trained survey team to go to the scene of the incident in the shortest possible time.

"Of course, surveying the location of the incident is only the second task." General Huang motioned for everyone to open the tablet in front of them, "In the southeast area, four kilometers away from Camp Convis, we found a Mayan pyramid. The foundation part of this pyramid is a large underground laboratory. Using thermal conductivity mapping, we created a 3D architectural model of it. Let's see, there are two parts of this underground building, the front part of the image is clearer, which is the front part of the laboratory, and the back part is due to strong electromagnetic interference, we can't draw it, so it needs to be surveyed by manpower. ”

Speaking of this, General Huang pointed to the eight black boxes on the table, "There are a total of eight sets of nano protective suits here, which can maximize your survivability. Moreover, this time, along with you, there are also Mr. Lin Huoxiao and these 22 military experts. They all come from the high-end units of our country and are the best of the best. Mr. Lin Huoxiao is the mission advisor and the supreme commander of this mission. He will make any decisions that everyone makes in the middle of the mission, do you understand? ”

"Got it!" The conference hall was filled with loud answers from twenty-two soldiers, and the scientists looked at each other, unable to find an answer on each other's faces, before echoing the answer, "Understood." ”

At the end of the meeting, the soldiers, under the command of scientists, began to carry precision mechanical instruments to the transport plane, and Lin Huoxiao and General Huang stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling glass on the top floor, looking down on the busy square.

"It's the third day, and there's no news of that kid yet." General Huang asked, standing behind Lin Huoxiao.

"yes." Lin Huoxiao replied, he took out a locator from his arms, and there were only three red Chinese characters for "no signal" on the small screen of the locator. "Wu Feng must have had an accident. This nano locator was implanted in the skin of his back by my own hands, and even he didn't know the existence of this thing, in order to ensure his personal safety, I had to ......" Before he finished speaking, the locator in his hand suddenly sounded a dingdong prompt, and then a string of coordinate numbers appeared on the screen, but the position query at the end of the number displayed the words "error message".

The base stations worked for only three seconds before returning to the "no signal" state. Shocked, Lin Huoxiao hurriedly turned on the sound recording function of the locator, but what he heard was the chaotic sound of the wind whistling and the sand and stones splashing, and he turned his head to look at General Huang with an inquiring gaze.

"That string of numbers is not the coordinates of any place on the earth." General Huang said in a deep voice, a puzzle appeared on his face.

"yes, there is absolutely no problem with the locator, I'm sure Wu Feng must be in trouble this time, and that voice...... Could it be that Wu Feng was directly exposed outside the no-man's land? Lin Huoxiao frowned, clenching the locator tightly in his hand, "Uncle Huang, is the exploration plan to be slowed down first, and it is important to save people." ”

"Hmm...... Saving people is important, but the plan that has been set cannot be delayed, and besides, you are about to go. General Huang also frowned, but nodded affirmatively at Lin Huoxiao, and said, "Xiao Lin, I'll do the rescue of Wu Feng, if necessary, I will use military force to help you rescue people!" He is a scientific and technological talent, which many marginal organizations want, so he will definitely not be hurt in a short period of time, rest assured. Well, don't delay your mission, let's get started! ”

A few minutes ago.

It is a huge and boundless Gobi, paved with salt-white gravel, and countless fissures have divided this huge mirror into pieces, while the surface is still tenaciously pieced together. The solidified black clouds pressed very low, and the orange and white lightning flashed alternately, flickering and reflecting the ten figures who were slowly moving forward in that row.

Wu Feng walked in the middle of the team exhausted, he had no sense of direction, and he had been walking non-stop day and night for two days and two nights, walking forward every day, but he felt that he was standing still. He was thrown by Broad's minions to the former treasure island of Taiwan. This once-bustling city is now lifeless, and the massive evaporation of seawater, the tearing of the earth's crust and the displacement of the plates have turned it into an endless Gobi.

He was accompanied by nine men, both men and women. To put it nicely, they were nine engineers in charge of installing the equipment, when in reality, eight of these nine were former mercenaries and are now Broad's armed forces. Over the next week, Wu Feng must lead them to find three coordinates in this area, each of which will be equipped with three anti-electromagnetic buffer devices to counter the magnetoelectric interference caused by secondary clouds when the upcoming "moon landing spacecraft" takes off.

Wu Feng relied on the life support suit on his body to barely support until now, and after three days and two nights in this area where he was told that he could not use any magnetic levitation vehicles, he finally found the first coordinate location. As he got closer and closer to this coordinate point, infinite anger and grievances swelled up in his heart. Wu Feng's eyes that once shone with wisdom were very empty at this time, he now missed the ordinary life he used to have, he missed his relatives very much, in this world that was pressed by black clouds, he felt strong fear for the first time.

The figure walking at the front of the line suddenly stopped, and the figure raised one hand to signal everyone to stop, and pointed to the southeast with the other, shouting excitedly: "Hey, brothers, the first coordinate point, it's over there!" "Through the wide helmet of the life support suit, you can see that this is a black man with a very round face. He looked plain, in his forties, he was the most experienced mercenary of the crowd, and the chief security officer of the operation, Adrian.

Adrian's excited voice was immediately drowned out by the rolling thunder, and he himself was aware of this, so he lined up everyone to come to Wu Feng, patted Wu Feng on the shoulder and asked, "Doctor, if you find the first coordinates, the remaining two will be much easier, right, Doctor?" ”

Wu Feng's expression in the life support suit was very wooden, his eyes stared blankly ahead, and his mind didn't know where it had gone. Adrian saw very clearly that the young Chinese youth in front of him was far from being as resolute as he seemed on the outside, he had not suffered setbacks in adversity, he had not been in the war, and it was impossible for normal human beings to have a tenacious mind like him, not to mention, he was just a young scientist who had always lived in an ideal world.

Eight people around them formed a small circle, each sorting out the equipment and tools they were about to use.

"Kid, kid?" Adrian shook Wu Feng's shoulder vigorously, and Wu Feng finally came back to his senses in endless thoughts, "What's the matter, Adrian, have you found anything?" Wu Feng scanned the surroundings calmly, and finally fixed his gaze on Adrian's life-support helmet.

"Yes, Doctor." Adrian pointed to the southeast, "The first coordinate has been discovered, we can now go and install the anti-electromagnetic device, you can now start speculating on the location of the second coordinate." Adrian handed Wu Feng the tablet that recorded the first coordinate position, and trotted a few companions to the first coordinate point not far away, and they took out large and small devices from their backpacks and installed them very skillfully. Wu Feng withdrew his gaze, and instead of following, he sat in place and gasped deeply.

Obsessed with secondary clouds and geomagnetism, he gets the news at a chance private party that he has discovered a "suicide town" in faraway North America. The town, located in the Mexican state of Yucatan, is home to more than 400 people, and 120 people died by suicide in three months, almost every family. The way they ended their lives was very bloody and bizarre, but without exception, all of them shouted "Only this is the only way to stop me from killing you!" before they died! After the incident, a team of scientists from Mexico visited the town, and the results all pointed to one problem: geomagnetic deflection. The deflection of the geomagnetic field caused abnormal reactions of the human nerves, which directly led to the death of ordinary people who were not strong enough. After a period of in-depth investigation, scientists have found the culprit, a crater that has existed for 100 years, but there is no previous record and no meteorite fragments can be found. After 100 years of silence, the crater seemed to have come to life, forcibly altering the surrounding geomagnetic field and leading to this unusual event. However, Wu Feng does not believe in such far-fetched official explanations. Since the earth was wrapped in secondary clouds, the geomagnetic field has been weakening, which has caused the collapse of the biological chain of nature, resulting in a violent loss of oxygen and water, but it has not caused human beings to fall into madness!

At this moment, another unofficial view jumped out, and that was the eschatological rhetoric of "life transformation". They believe that nature forcibly skips the steps of life evolution and directly induces human beings to put an end to the current life form, which will exist in nature as a new life form, or even merge with nature. Although their views are crazy, one of them reminds Wu Feng. Is the catastrophe caused by the crater that it lures humans to suicide through the contact of the mind? That is, that nature can unilaterally transmit its will to humans? If this is the case, is there a way for them to actively connect with nature's mind? Through communication with the will of nature, can we solve the dilemma that humanity is about to enter the end times, and even unlock the secrets of the secondary clouds?

After Wu Feng shared his views and doubts with Lin Huoxiao, Lin Huoxiao's reaction was very huge, and he formed an exploration team in a very short period of time to go to the site of the incident to investigate. Due to the current level of traffic control is very high, there is no way for ordinary people to leave their country without permission from the general headquarters, so Lin Huoxiao spent a lot of money to rent a private transport plane to smuggle the exploration team away. What surprised the two even more was that after the exploration team arrived in Yucatan, the local intelligence sent back was completely different from what was reported in the outside news. The death toll has risen to 1,200 in many parts of the Yucatan's habitable cities, and civilians, civil servants, and even police have taken part in the riots!

"Everybody, get down!" Adrian's roar came from the communicator, and Wu Feng was pushed to the ground by the people around him before he could react.
