Already under the clear sky.

On top of the ruins of a collapsed neighborhood.

Li Hongtu and many members of the exploration team stood in every corner.

Lin Miao is also holding a device.

Detect the ruins beneath your feet.

After a long time.

Looking at the detection results of the life detector, Lin Miao's expression became a little more serious.

As long as the temperature of any object is above absolute zero, infrared radiation will be generated, and the human body is also a natural source of infrared radiation.

However, the infrared radiation characteristics of the human body are different from the infrared radiation characteristics of the surrounding environment, and the life detector uses the difference between them to separate the target to be searched from the background by imaging the infrared detection method.

Judging by the results of this life detector in her hand.

Beneath the rubble, near the life detector she was holding, there were infrared images of ten human bodies.

Six of them have infrared images, all of which appear to have been crushed into several parts by the rubble.

Obviously, there is no need to think about whether or not they are still alive.

Looked at.

Lin Miao then adjusted the mode of the life detector and converted it into audio detection.

The audio life detector applies the principles of sound waves and shock waves, using advanced microelectronic processors and sound/vibration sensors.

It collects all-round vibration information, detects various sound waves with air as the carrier and vibrations with other media as the carrier, and filters out non-target noise waves and other background interference waves.

Speaking human words means that it can detect the faint audio sound waves and vibration waves generated by the trapped people moaning, shouting, crawling, beating, etc.

This determines whether the human body under the rubble is alive or not.

After a moment of waiting.

Lin Miao's expression couldn't help but dim a little.

The four intact human bodies detected by the infrared did not have any vital reaction.

Breathing, heartbeat, or any movement is not detected.

Although when using the infrared mode of the life detector, it can already be seen from the temperature of those infrared images that are different from the normal human body, even a few complete human bodies are likely to die.

It's just that it wasn't until he confirmed it with the audio mode that Lin Miao couldn't give up.

She sighed imperceptibly.

Then he took out a flag of special material from the backpack behind him.

After the number 10 is marked on the flag.

Just fasten it to the top of the ruins.

"Report to the captain, all 37 areas I am responsible for have been dealt with, and no survivors have been found."

"All areas have been marked with flags for the corpse collection team to deal with."

"Please continue to give orders."

Lin Miao reported in an orderly manner.

Since she took over from the rest of the team in the early hours of this morning, she hasn't found a single survivor.

Even if they were in the entire three teams, they only found two children hiding in the basement and not eating for several days.

At present, they have been sent to the medical vans in the accompanying convoy for simple treatment, without the need to inform the members of Teams 11 and 12, who have set up temporary medical teams in the city.

Besides.

It's basically nothing.

Lin Miao understands that such situations will only appear more and more.

The more time passes.

Survivors who can't get out of hiding on their own have a lower chance of survival.

But even so.

They still have to keep going about the search and rescue work.

"Well, you move on, in the direction you originally planned."

Li Hongtu's voice sounded in the communicator.

When Lin Miao heard this, he said that he had received it.

Then pack up your things and move on.

According to the plan.

Then there is the last piece of the ruins of this community, and the area that has been damaged by a few giant monsters is basically searched.

Pondering.

Lin Miao kept rushing to the place.

Looking at a certain building that had collapsed in half, Lin Miao increased the power of the life detector, and first aimed at this half of the building and began to scan.

It didn't take long for the scan results to come out.

In infrared imagery.

Many shredded corpses and partially intact human corpses can be seen.

Silence.

Lin Miao switches to audio mode to continue scanning.

Wait until the moment the results come out.

She couldn't help but widen her eyes.

Almost without hesitation, he picked up the communicator and said, "Lin Miao asked for support, I found an adult man who is still alive here. ”

After speaking.

She looked around excitedly and calmly.

Judge whether the surrounding terrain will have an impact on the next rescue work.

The key structures of this half of the building are still intact, and there is a high probability that there will be no sudden large-scale secondary collapse.

However, the large crumbling walls inside were troublesome for rescue efforts, and the place where the adult male survivor who was still breathing was almost in the middle of the half of the building.

Not long.

Li Hongtu and three teammates with various tools rushed over while Lin Miao was pondering.

Everyone quickly began to divide and cooperate.

The electromagnetic wave perspective detection instrument brought by a certain person was put down and scanned for the general structure and details of half of the building.

Soon.

The clutter inside is generated by moving across the detector's screen.

The crowd gathered around.

Plans that work quickly are being developed.

"The passage here is blocked by a large number of broken concrete blocks, and a detour from here can be considered."

"Look here, you can go through this hole by yourself, but it will be difficult to bring people back, either try to widen this hole, or you will have to take a detour here."

"It's close to the load-bearing wall, and I don't think we can just go and widen it indiscriminately. Looking at the fact that half of the building above has been destroyed by the great force, the load-bearing wall below may also be scarred and cracked. ”

Everyone had different opinions.

Express your opinions and ideas.

Soon.

Three roughly feasible routes were mapped.

One of them is the first choice and the safest.

The remaining two routes are viable alternative routes in case of special circumstances on the main route.

After quickly negotiating a plan.

Li Hongtu took the lead in taking this potentially dangerous opportunity to rescue the survivors.

He followed the planned route.

Leap into it through a broken window.

Everyone had to watch the monitoring screen that refreshed the modeling screen every ten seconds, and reported the data in real time for Li Hongtu as help.

Nothing happened during the whole process.

This is definitely half of a dangerous building, and there were no secondary collapses during this period.

It can be said that the build quality is good.

It can also be said that Li Hongtu, as the captain of the mobile task force of the former Yongday Linjiang City Base, has a very professional ability to rescue people and shuttle through ruins.

Less than fifteen minutes.

The adult male survivor was brought out of the half-building by Li Hongtu in the posture of a princess.

Merely.

Li Hongtu's face was obviously not very good.

He hurriedly carried the adult male survivor to the crowd and placed it on the ground.

"Lin Miao, please."

"Have the hamster meow with an electric shock for heart pacing."

"The survivor's breath just suddenly disappeared."

Li Hongtu looked at Lin Miao with a serious face.

Lin Miao used to be the mascot of the Yongday Linjiang City base, so Li Hongtu was very familiar with Lin Miao's awakened pet hamster Meow.

He often takes his team members to practice with the hamster Meow, and knows that this little hamster will regularly go to the mountain and sea realm of the Eternal Day headquarters for training.

This includes the training of cardiac pacing skills with electric shocks.

"Okay."

"Meow, it's up to you."

Lin Miao first nodded to Captain Li Hongtu, and then said to the hamster meow on his shoulder.

A hamster that can understand human speech meows.

Immediately jumped off Lin Miao's shoulder.

It landed lightly on the ground on the adult male survivor who suddenly lost his breath.

A few people around silently stayed away.

The next moment.

A faint blue flash of lightning flashed across the hamster Meow's body hair.

Immediately, the entire body of the electrocuted survivor on the ground trembled.

See that it is not responding.

The hamster meows his eyes and is released with another slightly stronger electric shock.

The survivor shuddered.

Then the breathing suddenly returned.

Seeing this, the faces of the people around him calmed down.

However, the hamster meowed back on Lin Miao's shoulder and squeaked a few times.

"What does it say?"

Li Hongtu looked at Lin Miao and the hamster meowed.

He understands that hamster meow has wisdom, and he knows that hamster meow must be saying something.

"It says ......"

"This survivor has an abyssal psionic reaction on his body, and it seems to have been affected."

Lin Miao immediately said to Li Hongtu.

She could understand the words of the hamster meow and understood the importance of those words.

"Hiss......"

"I knew it."

"Let's continue the search and rescue mission, and I'll send this guy to Team 11 and Team 12 first."

Li Hongtu's face changed when he heard this, and he immediately picked up the survivor who was breathing.

Without saying anything, he ran into the distance.

He was in the middle of the building, and he was next to the survivors.

A shattered carapace was seen.

Apparently a fragment of the body of an abyssal monster.

Although Linjiang City had been cleaned up by the members of the Eternal Day yesterday, most of the monster corpses had already been taken away by the members of the Eternal Day.

But......

This cleanup is not very thorough.

There are too many monster corpses in various parts of the globe.

In the ruins of this half of the building, there is a palm-sized fragment of a monster corpse that has not been found and taken away, which is understandable.

Merely......

This palm-sized carapace.

But it brought some trouble.

The male survivor was found by him with the carapace in his hand.

Apparently this thing affected him.

He was left in a coma for a long time every day even when he had enough food.

Today, after being rescued by Li Hongtu, he fell into a state of suspended animation.

Now.

It must be taken as soon as possible to the municipal hospital that was cleared yesterday morning, where there is a temporary hospital in the affected area formed by members of teams 11 and 12.

The medical personnel of Team 11 and Team 12 were basically from Linjiang City and the nearby Eternal Day Peripheral Organization, and they were much more specialized than others in dealing with the physical problems affected by this abyssal spiritual energy.

……………………………………

Stay in the boundless ocean of spiritual rules.

Chen Sheng, who had turned into a spiritual state, observed the special changes that were taking place on the earth at this moment.

And trying to maintain this change doesn't have some strange effect.

Since the day after the end of this disaster.

A certain change imperceptibly affects the entire earth, so that Chen Sheng has no time to worry about other things.

He found.

After the death of countless monsters.

Their spirituality is slowly dissipating in a strange way.

Or should it be said.

It's devoured!

Although this devouring occurs on every monster corpse is insignificant, so many monster corpses add up to not a small amount.

Chen Sheng traced back to the source.

I perceived a certain unifying consciousness that was devouring and merging the spirituality of these monsters.

After faintly discovering the connection between this unified consciousness and Gosla, who had just rushed back to the headquarters.

He immediately understood.

This unifying consciousness is the will of the earth.

It instinctively devours spirituality and moves towards a higher stage.

And its every move.

It has an impact on the entire planet.

The earth is the basic plate of human beings and eternal day, and Chen Sheng naturally has to pay special attention to this matter.

Thankfully, though.

This change is not a bad thing.

Or rather, if he detects it in advance and guides and supervises it, this change can only have a beneficial effect.

According to his speculation.

Wait until this devouring is over.

First of all, Gosla, who is part of the consciousness of the earth, will bear the brunt of the impact.

Its power will be increased in return.

It is unknown whether Gosra will be able to leap from a demigod to a fourth-level true god with this.

But......

At the very least, it can be a big step forward.

Secondly.

The true subjective consciousness of the earth will be born, and a complete intellect will emerge.

Rather than representing only a part of the earth's consciousness like Gosla.

But when the time comes.

There is a high probability that Chen Sheng will let Gosra replace the Earth Consciousness with his own existence.

After all, it's still a habit for her own people.

At last.

is the most important change.

The Earth itself will undergo some changes after the end of the engulfment.

The rules will be tighter and stronger.

The whole space and matter will become more rich in spiritual rules, and at the same time, it will inevitably be difficult to be destroyed by spiritual forces.

When the time comes, technology will remain unaffected.

However, the existence of the spiritual system will reduce the destructive power of the outside world on the earth, and there will be no change in the defense and immortality.

In simple terms.

It's that the Earth's spiritual resistance has increased.

It becomes more durable in the face of the spiritually strong.

If it is said that the fourth-level true god should have been able to explode the stars with one blow, under the suppression of the rules of the material universe, he could also shake the continental plate on the earth with one punch.

So now after the Earth Upgrade.

The fourth-level true god is under the suppression of the rules of the material universe, and under the condition that the spiritual resistance of the earth is increased.

There will be no one blow to destroy the star, or one blow to shake the power of the continental plate.

A single blow can sink more than a dozen eastern island nations together.

Of course.

However, it does not mean that the power of science and technology on the spiritually strong has become greater, and the defensive power and immortality of the spiritually strong have not changed.

It's just the resistance of the Earth that changes.

If you leave the earth.

The fourth-level true god-level spiritual powerhouses will still only be suppressed by the rules of the material universe, and they will still be able to strike the power to shake and even shatter the continental plate with a single blow.

Such a change.

In Chen Sheng's view, it is undoubtedly good news.

This means that the earth will be more durable in the future.

Don't worry about a fight that will knock the earth away.
