Volume 1 Chapter 90
The width of the shadow is more than two meters and a half, and the length is about a dozen meters. The whole is cylindrical and has no obvious sharp edges and corners.
This thing stood silently in the dark deep water, unusually large. It was as if the earth's crust had cracked open at the bottom of the sea, and a mountain had grown from it.
The image sent back by the probe is only the surface effect of the deep water, and the water pressure below is too deep to dive.
In other words, it is very likely that the giant pillar seen so far is only the tip of the iceberg, and the rest of the whole huge part is still hidden in the dim depths of the sea.
"What's that?" Xu Tianwei took a deep breath, and her right hand holding the mouse began to tremble unconsciously.

The radiation analysis software began to automatically process the data that came back, and the screen began to ripple layer by layer with blue, green, and yellow grid-like ripples representing the radiation index.
Time passed minute by minute, and Xu Tianwei was extremely worried in her heart.
Airplanes!
Suddenly, the surrounding speakers erupted into a piercing hum!
In the lower right corner of the screen, the radiation index began to soar, and the whole picture diffused a dangerous red layer by layer like a water wave!
Everyone in the monitoring room is like a big enemy!
"It's the Advent!" The technician standing behind Xu Tianwei said in a panic.
"This time, didn't the goddess prompt again?" His voice was desperate.
"Goddess...... Betrayed us? β
"Well, the index is a little too high......"
The four or five technicians behind him couldn't sit still and began to whisper.
The index is still soaring, and there is no intention of stopping. Xu Tianwei held her breath and stared at the screen.
Then the crowd became amazed.
The histogram is constantly climbing, and the red ripples are rippling, which is already a bit terrifying.
No one in the monitoring room made any more noises, and everyone's faces became distorted and frightened.
"The radiation index is still growing?"
"This ...... That's more than almost all the Adventists to date! How powerful is it? β
The screen turned completely red, covered by dense water ripples, and the original picture could not be seen clearly.
"How so! Never before in the history of mankind has there been such a powerful Advent! β
The radiator was running wildly, and the whole room was filled with a hum. The technicians' legs trembled uncontrollably, and it was only with their hands holding on to the table that they could barely stabilize their bodies.
"Calm down! Panic what! Xu Tianwei glanced behind her and shouted categorically.
"Zoom in."
She almost stuck to the screen, staring at the magnified black outline, and pondered, "All this time has passed, and we have been staring at the screen all the time, and it has not moved. And there are aquatic plants, stones, barnacles, etc. attached to it, which should be a dead thing. β
"It could be the lair of the Adventists, or some kind of symbiosis. Historically, the Adventists have often appeared attached to stone statues, caves, river bottoms and other things," Xu Tianwei frowned, "As for such a high level of radiation...... There may be more than one Adventist hidden in this rock. This situation is not without precedent. Don't mess with yourself. β
"We have to divide and break each one, and there is definitely a solution."
Didi β
Suddenly, the radiation monitor emitted a high-pitched beep alarm!
Syllable! The screen in front of Xu Tianwei's eyes suddenly flashed and exploded directly!
The pungent white smoke cleared, and it took a long time for everyone to recover from their panic.
"What kind of terrifying magnitude of radiation is this...... How many Adventers are there this time? β
"All our previous combat experience is not worth mentioning in front of this!"
All technicians were bloodless, their voices distorted with horror, looking up in despair at the entire curtain wall after the explosion.
"According to the radiation index, I am afraid that this time there will be a ...... at the same time Five or six? β
"But we've done our best to deal with an Advent, and we're just going to die this time!"
"You're right, the disaster in Lingzhou is coming......"
"When are you still thinking nonsense!" Xu Tianwei shot like lightning, and slapped his palm on the man's face, causing the man's glasses to fall.
Xu Tianwei shouted: "If you dare to shake the heart of the army, you will be dealt with as a crime of defection!" β
"Notify Ren's Dart Bureau and cooperate with the City Patrol Division to transfer the city's population ......"
Then, she pressed one of the red round keys. In an instant, her voice became extremely loud and solemn, echoing throughout the building:
"All of the City Patrol Division has it, act now!"
"Swear to defend Lingzhou Port!"
In Lingzhou City, the streets and alleys are full of flying yellow dust. Under the yellow dust, huge yellow-colored armored vehicles were speeding away, with the words "Ren's Dart Game" written in bright red. The convoys led by Ren You, Wang Chunfu, and Astragalus were all dispatched, and the steel giants lined up in a long line, roaring into the four urban districts of east, west, south and north.
The frightened crowd with large bags and small bags poured out of the residential buildings like ants that had broken away, rushing towards the convoy.
β¦β¦
The entire harbor reverberated with emergency evacuation notices, as if the end was coming.
Ren Yi stood on the deck and looked out at the shore, and smoke and dust were rising in the distance. A convoy of all-black steel appeared on the road at the end of his sight.
That's all the combat vehicles of the City Patrol Division, with various detection instruments, on-board machine guns, and long-range missiles mounted on them...... The road sparkles and the engines roar, as if a tough battle is about to begin.
Ren Yi's heart tightened suddenly, "Such a big battle? β
The cars lined up on the seashore, and countless people came down, erecting fortifications in silence and order.
Several of the cars were tightly surrounded, and Minister Li, Xu Tianwei and others were all wrapped in special anti-radiation armor from top to bottom. This was followed by a group of well-trained technicians, who quickly laid a connection along the coast and immediately formed a simple combat command center.
Then four or five huge black radiation monitors were removed from the car and placed in various corners of the beach. The technical team lowered a few remote-controlled sensors, and the waves swept away into the water after a few waves.
Manipulating the sensor to go deep into the seabed, the picture inside the sea was immediately transmitted clearly.
Minister Li and Xu Tianwei came to the screen, and the arc-shaped red ripples continued to spread.
Knowing in their hearts that it was below the sea level in front of them, everyone was even more frightened and depressed.
Rustling......
The remote control sensor sent back the real-time picture, Xu Tianwei immediately switched, the picture was blurry and dim, and sometimes it flickered into a blank, and a strange and maddening sense of oppression hit.
Grunt.
From time to time, bubbles bubbled in the sea, and the uncomfortable sound of immersion came from everyone's headphones. The sensor enters the deep water, and the picture gradually darkens, without a trace of light. From time to time, strangely shaped swimming fish flashed by, endless darkness and silence, unknown strange existence ahead, everything was unbearable.
Hmmm-
A dark shadow flashed quickly, and the sensor made a sharp grinding sound, and the scene ended unexpectedly.
The last second flashed, and many people saw a sharp webbed claw in front of the screen.
"What was that just now?" Xu Tianwei's forehead was already covered in cold sweat.
The technician hurriedly reported: "Report, the remote control sensor has been damaged and all devices have lost connection!" β
"How's the evacuation going?" Minister Li immediately asked.
"20,000 people in Dongcheng District have been assembled and are currently arranging for evacuation."
Minister Li said, "Put down another batch of sensors!" Keep an eye on the seabed at all times to ensure the safe evacuation of the entire city! β
Suddenly, the heavily armed city guards immediately took up their positions and went into the busyness.
"What's next?" After avoiding people, Xu Tianwei's voice immediately became depressed, "I don't believe that there are six or seven adventers gathered at the bottom of the sea, they just look like this." There must be a big move. When the time comes, all our actions will be mantis arms as a car. β
Minister Li gritted his teeth and said, "Take one step at a time." Haven't you always been very energetic, what's wrong today! If we fall, the entire Lingzhou will be destroyed one step earlier! β
Xu Tianwei nodded and cheered up.
Suddenly, as soon as she looked up, she saw Ren Yi standing there with a solemn face across a group of busy figures wearing white isolation suits.
"Are you here to denounce the disappearance of the dart masters?" Xu Tianwei rubbed her brows and reluctantly responded, "We already know about it, and we are dealing with it." But...... I still have to tell you first, their situation may not be good, I hope you have a prepared heart. β
"I already know." Ren Yi said, "One hundred and fifty-five lives have disappeared, and what is even more terrifying is that the Adventist has not even woken up yet. β
"This is an unprecedented disaster in Lingzhou, let's work together, I also want to contribute."
"How is this possible?" Xu Tianwei was stunned for a moment, and said angrily, "The work of the City Patrol Division is all under unified command and scheduling, if the whole city is like you, then it will be a mess!" β
"Go back and organize the evacuation with your father."
"Don't fight for small sections." Minister Li suddenly raised his hand to stop Xu Tianwei and said to Ren Yi, "Come here, look at the data from the monitor, what do you think?" β
Ren Yi walked over, set up a folding stool next to the two, and leaned in front of the computer to look.
After listening to the speculation of the two, Ren Yi frowned and said, "According to my speculation, although the current radiation level is very large, each of these adventists has not fully awakened. As long as you do a good job of isolation, you have a chance to get close to the lair. β
"And then?" Xu Tianwei said.
And then ...... Serve them all in one pot! β
As soon as these words came out, all the city patrols who were busy around were stunned.
"How is that possible! Even if you use up all the reserve ammunition in Lingzhou, I'm afraid you can only deal with one Advent! β
"At least six of them under the surface of the sea, based on the detected index! If they are all blown up, I am afraid that the foundation of Lingzhou City will also be unstable, and there will be a tsunami next! You're hastening the destruction of Lingzhou! β
The crowd was gossiping and arguing hard.
"Look, what is this?"
Ren Yi suddenly reached out and touched the backpack behind his back, and a square thing appeared in his palm. It was a jewelry box, encrusted with various gemstones, which sparkled in the morning light.
"'Treasure of Doom'?" Minister Li was stunned on the spot, "How can this thing be in your hands?" β
Ren Yi smiled, "If you can survive this catastrophe safely, I'll tell you again." β
"Now, I'm going to start talking about my plans."
Taking a deep breath, Ren Yi said solemnly.
"Who said I'm going to blow it up?"
"The characteristics of the 'Treasure of Doom' must be clear to everyone, right? It can form an enclosed space that absorbs the life energy inside. β
"Do you know what happens if the Adventist loses his life energy?"
Xu Tianwei's eyes lit up instantly, "It will fall back into hibernation!" β
'Yes!' The Treasure of Doom is used on humans, it is a killing weapon that can turn them into ashes, and when used on the Adventists, it will put them back into dormancy! β
Minister Li's face showed a hint of joy: "So, you want to ......"
"I want to dive underwater with it, get close to the target, and drop the 'Letter of Doom'. Let it be blocked along with the whole boulder! β
"It's a good idea!"
"Lingzhou is saved!"
When everyone heard this, their faces showed a hint of joy.
"It's a good plan." Minister Li nodded, "It's just that the process of approaching the bottom of the sea is probably quite difficult, and it is not surprising that it is a tough battle." β
"We'll send a team of city guards to protect your dive and ensure that the plan is successfully completed."
"No, I can't get into trouble with others, it's too dangerousβ" Ren Yi interrupted.
"Protecting Lingzhou is the duty of the City Patrol Division!" Minister Li roared with red eyes, "If there is danger in Lingzhou, you can sacrifice yourself, we can all do it!" Every city patrol guard can do it! β
"Bai Henglei, the leader of the first detachment of the City Defense Department."
"Here."
Bai Henglei immediately turned around and walked over, standing up and saluting.
Ren Yi had never seen him with such a serious expression.
Minister Li waved his hand, "Pick out ten that you think are good, and prepare to dive." β
Ren Yi was silent, and he couldn't say anything to stop him.
There are busy figures everywhere in front of you, and there is a tense and suffocating atmosphere on the beach. Ren Yi felt his heart beating violently, and he was so pressed by the tremendous pressure that he could barely breathe.
After a while, Bai Henglei came over and said, "We're all ready, how are you?" β
Ren Yi nodded, "Okay." Without further ado, let's do it. β
Two city guards came up next to him and helped Ren Yi change into a diving suit made of special protective materials.
When he put on the oxygen mask, the sound of his breathing was suddenly put on a huge scale, and the tense atmosphere suddenly came up again, and Ren Yi's heart was like a drum.
In a short time, a total of 12 people were all dressed. Except for Ren Yi, the rest of the people each carried a large number of heavy weapons on their backs.
Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of city guards, Ren Yi and the others slowly walked towards the beach.
"I wish you success." Minister Li raised his hand and saluted.
Hmmm-
All the guards on the beach saluted at the same time, and each of them had a solemn expression on their faces.
Ren Yi nodded, looked around the beach, and deeply remembered every face behind the transparent mask.
He was the first to open his legs and walk towards the icy waters. The waves were undulating, and the sound of the murmur seemed to be far away from him through the mask.
The winter sea gradually submerged his calves, waist and abdomen, and chest. Wearing protective clothing, he did not feel cold.
A slight sense of panic and suffocation hit. Further down, the sea completely submerged the top of his head, and at that moment all sound was cut off, and the world seemed to be far away, and only the sound of his own huge breathing remained between heaven and earth.
After settling down, he turned around and saw Bai Henglei and others following behind him in the seawater.
Ren Yi stabilized his mind, nodded at him, pointed down, and took the lead in diving into the sea.
The line of sight suddenly turned black, and the dark green water hit you.
