【258】A shattered natural disaster

"Amiya, we've seen the location of the special Scourge 1328. 35xs”

Kelsey sat in his seat in front of the control hub, looking at the images transmitted from the external surveillance on the screen.

"Do you want to send an operational team out to investigate now?"

Amiya's two rabbit ears stood straight on her head, and she confirmed to her for the last time, "Is it certain that the concentration of source stone energy in the surrounding area has dropped to a safe level?" ”

"Well, low level. Natural disasters are almost impossible. Kelsey pushed his glasses, "Natural disasters also obey the law of conservation of energy, it doesn't appear out of thin air. ”

"Of course, it is not normal for an area that has just fallen a natural disaster meteorite to maintain a low-level source stone energy concentration, so I must emphasize once again that this is an out-of-town exploration operation with a high level of danger."

"And in order to ensure the accuracy of the intelligence, this time the action team needs to go out of the cabin, and the autonomous robot can only be used as an auxiliary."

Kelsey seemed to be afraid that Amiya would not agree, so he calmly said to her.

"We still don't know the cause and formation of this extraordinary natural disaster, and it is likely that this natural disaster does not apply to any of our existing natural disasters."

Amiya looked at the screen and suddenly jumped down from the chair, her two long ears trembling on her head.

Turning her head, she looked at Kelsey earnestly.

"I know."

"So this time I'm leading the team myself."

"Bang."

Kelsey's face, who had always maintained a calm expression, changed, and he slammed the table and stood up, looking at Amiya with a sharp gaze.

"No way!"

The sound rose in a straight line of a few tens of decibels.

It's almost a roar.

The numerical monitors in the control center all looked in their direction.

Amiya just looked at Kelsey calmly.

"Kelsey, no matter how dangerous it is, someone has to do it."

"You can't have any surprises! You are the only left, the only hope, and we only have you. ”

Kelsey paused, consciously lowered her voice, although her expression was still cold and hard, but there was almost a hint of pleading in her voice, she pointed to the screen and emphasized to Amiya.

"That's a natural disaster!"

"It's okay, Kelsey."

Amiya smiled cheerfully and tugged at her collar in her direction.

There was a blue-black collar with a faint glow.

It was a monitoring collar developed by Rhode Island to monitor the condition of people infected with ore disease and the spread of the virus at all times.

However, in Amiya's case, this collar means much more.

"It's okay! Even as a sorcerer, I'm very strong. 35xs”

Amiya bent her eyebrows slightly, and a big smile appeared on her face.

Kelsey seemed stunned.

Probably because I hadn't seen Amiya smile for too long, and when I saw it once, I suddenly looked a little strange.

"But that's a natural disaster."

"But, I'm the leader of Rhode Island."

Amiya gradually retracted her smile and looked at Kelsey as seriously as a truly powerful leader.

"If I, as a leader, can't face up to natural disasters with courage, how can we rewrite all this suffering we are suffering? Kelsey. ”

"Accidents can't be solved by avoidance."

"The only way to face it."

After Amiya finished speaking calmly, she walked towards the door of the control center.

Kelsey pursed her lips tightly.

"Well, Amiya, Dr. Kelsey is just worried about your health."

Behind Amiya, the group of four followed.

A ghost woman with horns on her head, blindfolds, Rhode Island uniform, and a long knife at her waist gently comforted her.

Amiya nodded, her voice was calm, but her tone was inevitably a little helpless: "It's the night knife, the two of us are not counting, you 4 groups are here, come with me to find out the situation at the landing point." ”

"Okay."

The woman, known as the Night Knife and blindfolded with a black blindfold, looked at Amiya and hesitated.

"Amiya, don't you go this time." Her tone was a little hesitant, "Didn't Dr. Kelsey say last time that the fusion rate of your somatic cells and source stones has increased again?" ”

"There is another natural disaster landing point, and the energy concentration of the source stone will definitely not be low"

Amiya smiled silently and continued walking.

Although everyone was concerned about her physical condition made her a little happy, there was a reason why she had to go.

She is the strongest sorcerer in Rhode Island.

If that kind of special natural disaster suddenly happened here again, only she could have prevented the aftermath of the natural disaster and saved the lives of some of the operatives.

Of course, if they were standing in front of the sudden natural disaster, then even if she fought hard, she would die.

They also know this at nightknife, and Kelsey's meaning is even clearer, anyone can go to death, but only you can't.

Amiya felt that this was wrong.

She didn't explain anything.

The group came to the outing cabin in silence all the way, in addition to Amiya and the four members of the 4 action team, there was also a source stone energy exploration team and a collection team, a total of fifteen people.

All of them changed into heavier radiation protection suits in the outing cabin, which was depicted with the art of source stone technology, which could prevent them from being induced by the strong source stone from the outside world.

There are many ways to infect ore diseases, and long-term exposure to excessive concentrations of source stone energy is one of them.

This is the reason why the people of Terra live in mobile cities in the first place.

However, this does not mean that there are no human beings living on the surface.

Due to the excessive concentration of surface source stones, which greatly exceeds the limit of normal human body bearing, all human beings living on the surface are alienated and infected with ore diseases.

Eliminated from generation to generation, except for the criminals who continue to be exiled in various countries and cities, the ground is basically in a state of emptiness.

Even if they did survive, they wouldn't be human.

So be careful when you go out.

It is extremely abnormal to rush out shirtless like Han Baiyi, and wearing a radiation protection suit, and even bringing an oxygen tank is the most normal way for the action team to go out.

Even an ore disease infected person like Amiya will put on a radiation protective suit in order to prevent her condition from continuing to worsen.

laugh at

With the slight sound of an air pump, Rhode Island, which was always moving, slowly fell to a standstill.

A small door with a width of one person was silently opened at the exit cabin, and a staircase extended from the small door.

Night Knife cautiously glanced at the source stone energy value on the arm of the radiation protection suit.

"Amiya, the source stone energy value in this vicinity is low, but to be on the safe side, we only have thirty minutes of action time outside."

"That's Dr. Kelsey's advice."

"yes, I see."

Through the shield, which was comparable to armor, Amiya nodded in the direction of the Night Knife, and then climbed down the stairs slightly awkwardly.

In fact, thirty minutes is usually absolutely enough.

After all, the location where they stopped was less than three kilometers from the landing point, and the physical fitness of the humans in the world of Terra far exceeded that of the present world.

However, as soon as the group of fifteen people landed, a researcher of the collection team wearing a radiation protection suit fell to his knees with a pale face.

"Vomit"

Several group members next to him hurriedly went to help him, and then dragged him up with difficulty.

Amiya and the others stayed in front for a while.

The members of this collection team are probably new to the city, and it is normal for them to experience this symptom.

Compared to the members of the action team, who are mostly at two stars or above, they are just ordinary people who are physically stronger.

Just being in an environment where the source stone energy is too rich will produce a special reaction similar to drunken oxygen, and even if you wear a radiation protection suit, it will take a certain amount of time to get used to.

Night Knife was wearing a radiation-proof suit, and every thirty seconds he had to raise his wrist to glance at the Source Stone Energy Recorder, monitoring the source stone energy values around him at all times, for fear that he would bury them because of his carelessness.

However, whether it was her, Amiya, or the other operatives, they all noticed something strange.

The more they traveled in the direction of the disaster, the more comfortable their bodies became.

It's not the comfort of being particularly comfortable by the big sword, but the natural reaction of feeling that the burden on your body is getting smaller and smaller when you walk from a place with twice the gravity to the normal gravity position.

The night knife that kept looking at the source stone energy recorder on his wrist was even more weird.

That's not right.

Why is it that the more you travel in the direction of the natural disaster landing point, the source stone energy value is getting lower and lower?

This is different from the previous gathering tasks they have carried out, huh?

Is there a problem with the source stone energy recorder?

With this in mind, Nightknife immediately dragged several of his team members and glanced at the value of the recorder in their hands.

Normal.

Normal.

Or is it normal?

Nightknife was a little suspicious of his eyes.

Is this the surface?

How is it possible on the surface of the earth where the energy value of the source stone reaches the normal level?

This is the standard environmental level that ordinary humans are able to carry out their daily lives.

Turned his head and looked.

Even the newcomer to the collection team who had almost vomited just now was able to walk on his own, and he didn't have the weakness he had just now.

And as they continued to travel, the Source Stone Energy Recorder on their wrists even tended to get lower and lower.

This is, what's going on?

Amiya, who was always in the lead, marched without saying a word.

According to their information, at the time of the natural disaster, Nannishima, which belonged to the Illusion Organization, was within the range of the natural disaster.

Even if it is a small natural disaster, at such a rapid rate of formation, it is impossible to survive the slightest accident.

And now, it was only less than three hours before the natural disaster struck, but they didn't even see the wreckage and trajectory of Nan Wu Island.

What's going on?

"Amiya! Look over there! ”

Nightknife suddenly pointed in a direction, and Amiya turned her head.

The body froze in place.

What catches your eye is a sand mountain scattered but still piled up in place.

The crater in the middle is about three or four meters lower, and the diameter is more than 20 meters, but the large amount of sand and gravel accumulated like a city wall still makes this sand mountain about five or six meters above the ground, like a miniature crater rising from the ground.

Around this crater, there are still traces of the fierce battle engraved on the ground.

Fist pits, explosion craters, straight scratches like blades, burn marks that are so small that they reach the eye but go three or four meters deep into the ground, and the craters that are carved out when the human body hits the ground like a deep one, drag marks that stretch for nearly 100 meters.

The members of the 4 Action Team present at the scene, as well as Amiya herself, are all battle-hardened warriors, and have seen far more battle scenes than ordinary people imagine.

But, even so, when they saw the ground that was like a dragon rolling and rolling, full of pits, and not rounded at all, they all did not immediately associate these traces with the battle.

It wasn't until after some precise inspection that it was determined that there were traces of man-made source stone energy left inside these pits that Amiya and the others had to believe that these were traces left by humans.

After realizing this, Amiya and the others couldn't help but stand in place, staring intently at the circular sand mountain in the center of the battlefield.

They all thought of one thing.

This is...... Act of God?

Nightknife stared at him in disbelief.

The surrounding members of the professional research team were similarly frozen in place. A few of the younger members even almost stepped into the sandy crater ahead.

They've all seen natural disasters.

Meteorites formed by natural disasters remain intact even after falling to the ground.

Because the inside is full of extremely hard source stones.

Because of this, natural disasters are the most important way to produce source stones. It is also for this reason that the rough stones that fall from the sky will become the sharpest weapons in the sky, and they will be invincible.

But what's going on now?

Meteorites formed by natural disasters were shattered.

It became a pile of gravel.

This is something they have never seen before.

Amiya stared blankly at the sandy crater that surrounded the crater like a city wall, and clenched her hands tightly.

"Yes"

"It's just him."

She muttered under her mouth, the report she had read before came to her mind again.

Nan Mu Island, which belongs to the Illusion Organization, is in the middle of a special natural disaster.

Amiya looked at the shattered meteorite in front of her, and suddenly recalled that day, the man's peaceful and silent smile.

Now that I think about it, I am so reserved and high.

The meaning in Amiya's eyes was inexplicably complicated, and even the tone of her voice when she was talking to herself couldn't help but be a little dull.

Seems to be a question.

"People, can you also crush natural disasters?"
