Except for the exit of the 'gathering place', which was more than thirty meters wide, the area fifty meters near the city wall was clearly isolated, and people could be seen coming out of the tunnels from a distance, and the pedestrians who had long been accustomed to the streets did not even have a second glance.

It's approaching the New Year, and although the temperature on the island varies much less than on land, the night breeze is still heavy.

Walking from the warm bunker to the ground, there was a cold wind blowing, and one of the scientists shivered, shrunk his head and whispered, "Hell, it's not strange that there are 'animal migrations' at such low temperatures." ”

The scholars who also felt the cold wind around them couldn't help but let out a burst of good-natured laughter, but Zhang Lisheng didn't care about the little jokes of the professors and doctors around him at this time, but looked around and secretly sighed at the strong strength of the US government.

In three months, the area of the gathering place has expanded by at least five times, and the waste of manpower and material resources is unimaginable just by building the city wall layer by layer, and there are no modern industrial enterprises on the "shrimp B1 island" on the road, and all the building materials have to be transferred to the island by the Anthropocene world.

"General Luo Lin, it seems that the government's investment in the development of 'Sea Shrimp B1 Island' has increased rapidly in recent times, and it is not at all like the rhythm of completely opening up to private development. In the dim moonlight, he couldn't help but speak thoughtfully.

"Young man, do you also care about this kind of thing?" Luo Lin was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise.

"General, in addition to studying biology, I also run some industries. I'm interested in the future development of the island. ”

"Then you can rest assured that the government has continued to expand this agglomeration in recent months, so that it can operate independently as soon as possible and increase the confidence of the country's large chaebol investments."

It has been reported that next year's budget for the development of the 'Sea Shrimp No. 2 World Frontier' will shrink by a large margin. Luo Lin smiled bitterly and walked up the steep steps to the city wall, "Everyone, please come with me, hold your breath, and soon you will see the unforgettable scene of your life." ”

Hear the words of the general. The scientists looked at each other in amazement. Shrugging his shoulders, he walked down the staircase with a curved inner depth into the fortifications of the city walls.

The eight-metre-thick walls of the 'Gathering Place' cost no effort made the fortifications at the top very spacious. It is sufficient to arm medium artillery and ground-to-surface, surface-to-air long-range missile launchers.

The unprepared university professors climbed the stairs in a relaxed and curious mood. As soon as he showed up, he saw hundreds of professional soldiers neat and serious. As they stood by for battle, their bodies stiffened involuntarily, and then they heard a strange sound suddenly appear in their ears that they had never heard before.

The sound was like the sound of a hurricane through the jungle;

It is like the terrible roar of some kind of animal, such as mules and horses when they are gathered together and skinned;

Listen to it again, but it looks like the kind of motor roar that is unique to the race track. The loud sound of tires rubbing against the ground at a rapid pace.

"It's already begun, guys, let's go to the lookout. After the strange sound sounded, Luo Lin's gloomy face led the scientists to an observation hole where several military high-powered infrared telescopes were set up, "I want to directly observe the 'animal migration' on the island without using camera equipment." It will bring you a more intuitive feeling. ”

"More intuitively, General, you say that..."Stephen leaned his head closer to an infrared telescope without humility, and the terrifying sight in front of him choked his question back to his stomach.

Under the effect of infrared night vision, I saw hundreds of red-skinned monsters that were at least ten meters tall and resembled apes in the dark jungle in the distance.

Behind them, a group of black-haired house rats, magnified thousands of times, with sharp serrations and two fangs, were jumping and running as hard as they could.

These giant rats were very capable of jumping, leaping high in the air after a few paces, and after gliding for a while with their hideous teeth in the moonlight, they fell heavily to the ground and shook up a cloud of mud.

Due to their excessive panic, many of these large rats jump in the wrong direction, and occasionally collide with the backward red-skinned apes, which often leads to a bloody life-and-death fight.

"I don't think the oxygen content in the air on the island is high, why would such a huge species evolve...

Gravity, and gravity, is similar to that of the Earth, which is not in line with common sense..."Looking at the monster from afar, Stephen said to himself with his mouth wide open and obsessively.

After that, he kept moving his binoculars, carefully observing the various animal populations of the 'Otherworldly', and the scene of running away in a hurry.

These creatures may seem ferocious and vicious, full of aggressive beastly characteristics;

or unusually agile and unusually fast, at first glance it is a vegetarian animal;

Or they have the common characteristics of the previous animals, showing omnivorous properties, and at this time they gather together and run straight towards the 'gathering place', which makes people feel a sense of fear.

"Hell, General Luo Lin, it, they, these animals seem to be running towards us..."In the silence of the fortifications, only heavy breathing remained, an unknown scientist suddenly let go of the telescope, sweating profusely, and said in a trembling voice.

"Yes, Dr. Habitt, every night lately, countless animals have been storming the 'gathering place', but rest assured, our artillery and missiles are not toys to be placed in fortifications. ”

As Luo Lin's cold words landed, the artillery and missiles in the fortifications of the city wall suddenly fired in unison, launching a continuous and fierce attack towards the animal population that was gradually approaching the 'gathering place'.

In an instant, the roar of explosions that resounded through the clouds, the sky-high fires, and the helicopter gunships that then rose into the air on the deck of the battleship, and the attack of checking and filling in the gaps, proved the strength of modern human civilization with 'iron and blood'.

Amid the flying flesh and frightened roars, the tide began to slowly turn, and after thirty-four minutes, the 'Gathering Place' was completely free of the danger of the herd's onslaught.

"Professors, doctors, this is the dilemma we are facing now," after the dust settled, Luo Lin was silent for a while, looked at the scientist who was also silent, and said in a heavy voice: "The animals on this island seem to have no memory, they drove away today, and they rushed straight next time."

In the last part of the day, every day, every day, they had to rely on artillery strikes to bypass the 'gathering place', but fortunately the situation did not continue to deteriorate..."

"That's bad enough, General Luo Lin," suddenly a tall, fat old man with gray hair interrupted Luo Lin unceremoniously, "The manifestations of these animals only appear before the outbreak of devastating large-scale natural disasters, such as volcanoes, earthquakes..."

"Professor Turing, it is impossible for a 'precursor' abnormal reaction of an animal population to last twenty days before a natural disaster occurs...", and immediately some among scientists raised a different opinion.

"But this is the 'otherworldly', Dr. Marshall, and some of the 'universal standards' of the Anthropocene realm may not necessarily be in force on this island. ”

"You also said that this is Professor Turing of the Otherworldly Realm, in that case, it is debatable whether there is a connection between the crazy migration of animals and the outbreak of devastating natural disasters..."

There is a wise saying in Western academic circles, 'The more the truth is debated, the clearer it becomes', there are one, two, three, four, five, six... Soon, all the scientists in the fortifications who had weight and had the right to speak were involved in the discussion.

Unfortunately, the available information was too scarce, and the scholars argued back and forth, from late evening to late at night, from the fortifications of the city walls to the bunker meeting room, but no consensus was reached.

As Stephen's assistant, Zhang Lisheng and his mentor were assigned to a small living room and a two-bedroom suite in the bunker, and the accommodation conditions were not bad.

"Professor, please feel free to inform me if you need anything. Bringing the two of them to the room, the orderly saluted and was about to leave, when Stephen suddenly said, "Sergeant, I really have something to trouble you."

Please help me tell Major Mark that I asked him to help collect the creatures of the 'Otherworldly Realm', please give me an answer as soon as possible, I can't help much without enough 'materials'. ”

"Yes, Professor, I'll relay your words to Major Mark as soon as possible. The orderly nodded, and turned to leave.

"Today is really too 'rich', what do you think of Li Sheng?" Looking at the back of the non-commissioned officer leaving, Stephen breathed a long sigh of relief, saw instant coffee on the coffee table in the living room, so he made himself a cup, and looked at Zhang Lisheng who felt out a can of ice Coke in the refrigerator in the corner and asked.

"I think it's very thrilling Professor.

This piqued my curiosity and desire to explore, and tomorrow I plan to go on a trip to the jungle myself. "After thinking about it, he couldn't find a way to leave the 'gathering place' without a trace, so Zhang Lisheng could only take advantage of the mentor's question to take the opportunity to directly say his plan.

Stephen was stunned, "It's too dangerous, Li Sheng, this is too dangerous, the animals on this island inhabit completely different ways from the earth, and the beasts actually live in groups...

Of course, they may have been gathered together temporarily, and your initial judgment sounds absurd, but I don't know what Lu Dao is, but now I think he has a point, these animals seem to be afraid of something.

They flee at night to avoid some kind of danger, but what kind of danger can exist so invisibly, so seriously affect the ecological circle of a large island with an area of more than 30,000 square kilometers..." )
