Chapter 291: A Measure of Life and Potential
At noon on the same day, the airship arrived at Houying Island, and when he sat on the airship and looked out through the window of the wall, he could see the whole picture of Houying Island, its general appearance was no different from that of other islands, but the other half was completely shrouded in black fog.
This was also the first time Su Ming had seen the appearance of an island from a distance, this island was in the shape of an inverted cone, with a city built on the upper part, and many huge steel buildings, or equipment, hanging upside down on the rocks below, it looked like the entire island was mechanized from a distance.
Although it was the first time Su Ming had seen this scene, he had learned about it in the online class, and the lower part of the island was a large device that supplied electricity to the entire city.
This setup greatly increases the difficulty of repairing and building power supply facilities, but there is a reason for this, the reason why the Alliance wants to place the equipment under the island, rather than above the island, is because the number of flying monsters is much less than that of non-flying monsters, which also makes the upside-down and hanging in the air more difficult to destroy.
Combined with his imagination when the Beast Demon appeared last time, Su Ming felt that this arrangement was very clever.
The ground under his feet shook slightly, and Su Ming could already feel the inertia of the airship slowing down.
The airship gradually approached the island, and finally landed at the pier, where only a few dozen people disembarked the airship, but there were hundreds of people waiting on the pier.
Su Ming observed the people who disembarked from the airship, none of them were tourists on the island, all of them were commissioners of the Investigation Bureau, responsible for supporting this dangerous mission.
Those waiting at the dock are the inhabitants of the island, who are slowly boarding the airship in a certain order.
Su Ming and the others left the dock, got on the shuttle bus they had been waiting for early, and drove towards their destination.
Along the way, Su Ming saw empty shops and streets, and the entire city was almost empty, without half a figure.
"Ordinary people have almost evacuated, and if conditions permit, we will let the students slowly retreat as well." The driver said.
"There's no need to retreat." Liu Lingshan, who was sitting in the back seat, looked at the deserted street scene and said expressionlessly, "I will let this place return to normal." ”
……
After a two-hour drive, they came from the pier to their destination, Houying No. 1 Middle School.
The area around this high school was already in shambles, there were traces of blood and destruction everywhere, the school gate was completely smashed, the monument at the entrance was covered with blood, and on the left side of the entrance road, three hundred meters away, was a thick black fog...... This is the closest thing to the black fog.
On the way over, the driver had already told them about some of the characteristics of the black fog, which is characterized by fogging around the monster's range of activity, that is, if the monsters in the black fog don't come out, then the black fog won't expand.
But if the monsters in the black fog come out and kill all the humans outside and occupy the human habitation, then it won't be long before the black fog will appear in this place and eventually turn into the territory of those monsters.
Therefore, in order to stop the expansion of the black mist, all the abilities on the entire island are concentrated at the edge of the black mist, and once a monster appears in the black mist, it must be killed immediately, so as not to continue to expand the range of the black mist.
As a result, all the people on this island who could fight were all concentrated in the buildings at the edge of the black fog.
Although Su Ming and the others came to Houying No. 1 High School, they were not a group of high school students, but a group of college students, who were generally older than Su Ming and them.
After putting Su Ming and the others down in front of the school, Liu Lingshan drove alone and drove straight into the black fog, without staying for a moment.
The one who was in charge of receiving Su Ming at the door was a professor from a certain university in Houying, and he was now stationed here with other teachers and students.
The Professor's name is Akratya, he is sixty years old, but he is still in good spirits, and according to his self-introduction, his ability is [Parts Imitation], which is a healing ability, and he is currently responsible for the treatment of the wounded after the war.
"Thank you for coming to support, after three months, Lord Liu and Lord Lin are finally here." Akrathya thanked.
"No thanks, this is the task." Gu Dongshu replied casually.
Hearing the other party say that they had been here for three months, Su Ming was surprised.
Because not long ago, Liu Lingshan was still training them on Dongyang Island.
In other words, when a death incident was happening here, Liu Lingshan did not come to solve it, but trained them on Dongyang Island.
This shows that in Liu Lingshan's heart, the priority of training them is above saving people.
The deputy director is a very wise person, and has lived for a long time, she must have her own reasons for doing things, and in her heart, there must be reasons for such a decision.
After thinking about it casually, Su Ming thought of a possibility.
The black fog event should be some kind of unpredictable natural disaster, when the natural disaster occurs, whether to immediately go to the disaster relief, or temporarily place the disaster relief, choose to create more efficient disaster relief tools, these are two different choices about the strategic layout.
The Deputy Chief chose the latter, believing that cultivating them would be more conducive to human suppression of the Weird.
In other words, the deputy director put these people on the scales and measured the tens of millions of people who died in Houying Island, and in the end she measured the result that they were more important and more valuable.
If his conjecture is correct, then in this world, there are so many devastating disasters like black fog and white fog that there is so much time for people like the deputy director to stop at all.
If there is a gap between the occurrence of these strange disasters, then the deputy director will definitely not leave the disaster alone, but will choose to solve the disaster, and then take advantage of the gap between the next disaster to train them young people with potential.
But the result was that the deputy director placed a strange disaster of the level of black fog and came to Dongyang Island to train them.
This move has been able to prove that in the world, disasters of this level of black fog are frequent, and there is no gap, when you are dealing with one disaster, there are already more disasters in other parts of the world, if you only want to save people, then you will not be able to do anything except carry out the mission.
Su Ming felt that his previous assessment of the danger of this world was still conservative, this world was more threatening than he imagined, and humans around the world were constantly being wiped out like ants, and there was no power to resist.
At this moment, another question arose in Su Ming's heart: if he was in the position of deputy director, could he give up the lives of millions of people on an island in exchange for a month to teach potential juniors?
In Liu Lingshan's eyes, the lives of millions of people who have died in the black fog are not as good as a month of training for them? Did she think that every one of the millions of people who had died could compare to them?
