Great Power Technology
Chapter 527 The Ark Organization came to visit
Els sat slumped on the sofa, looking at the staff opposite him blankly.
In the past two hours, he had just experienced the most incredible, terrifying, and bizarre thing in his life.
All 13 workers died in just a few minutes, and one of them even died in front of him.
And this was not only the full picture of the impact he suffered, in fact, what made him feel like he was seeing ghosts in the daytime was that along with the death of those workers, the crops around the workers were also withering.
Ells watched with his own eyes as the lush, fruit-laden corn stalks turned yellow, fell over, and then dried up at an alarming rate, as if years had passed in an instant.
"That is the devil's restricted area. Only the devil has such power."
Els murmured.
The staff member opposite sighed helplessly, and then said:
"Mr. Ayers, I think we've explained it many times, it's not the devil - of course, if you mean the devil in the abstract, that's not wrong."
"That's the entropy increase jump zone invaded by adjacent dimensions. In that area, all the energy is drained almost instantly."
"That's why your workers die of heart failure, and that's why your crops die."
Els glanced at the staff blankly. His mood had not completely calmed down, but after all, he was a highly educated person. In the face of the solid theoretical basis of the other party's words, he also slightly changed from the kind of "being controlled by the devil". "I broke free from the fear.
After taking a deep breath, Els controlled his trembling hands and asked:
"what should I do?"
"What should I do? Well, the insurance company will compensate you for your losses. Your workers are all insured, right? This accident has nothing to do with you. In fact, it could happen to anyone."
Els looked at the staff member opposite with disbelief. The other person's contemptuous attitude made him not know how to respond. After a moment, his expression suddenly became furious.
"What I said is what we should do! Yes! The neighboring dimension invaded! They killed people! But we don't even know what we should do! Now tell me, what should we do!"
He said "what to do" several times in a row, and the staff member frowned, waved his hand, and replied:
"Mr. Ayres, I understand how you feel now, but what do you want us to do?"
"No one has any solution. This kind of thing happens in every corner of the world, not just you. In just this week, we have collected a total of more than 40 cases of injury accidents caused by adjacent dimension intrusion - of course , your accident has the largest number of casualties among all accidents."
"But that doesn't change the nature of the matter - it's like being struck by lightning from the sky. Can you expect us to do something about the lightning?"
Els was stunned for a long time, the other party's logic made him completely unable to refute.
Yes, just like what he said, this incident can be classified as a "natural disaster". In the context of the invasion of adjacent dimensions, anyone may suffer losses due to such a "natural disaster".
However, is it because of this nature that humans really do nothing?
Are you just going to watch your compatriots die?
——
Yes, hasn’t this country always been like this?
In past disasters, officials seemed to just watch with a cold eye, sending troops and soldiers only to maintain order rather than solve problems.
Thinking of this, Els suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
"So, in that case, why did you come to me?"
Seeing Els regaining his composure, the staff nodded with satisfaction and replied:
"You know, the study of adjacent dimensions is a topic we have been conducting. Now, after the actual invasion of adjacent dimensions occurred, we should obviously conduct in-depth research on the site where the invasion occurred."
"So, what we want to do is simple: we are going to expropriate your land and build a temporary research center."
"You can rest assured that we will pay a fair price."
"only this?"
"Yes, only this. If you are willing, you can participate in our research project. We need first-hand witness information. You can describe to us what you saw at that time."
"For example, did you see an explosion, did you see an abnormal flash of light, did you see an object that you couldn't understand, etc."
"This will help us determine how adjacent dimensional channels are established."
"What about the 13 workers?"
Els suddenly asked.
"Workers? Well, someone will come to deal with the aftermath, maybe the police department here."
"Maybe?"
Els sneered, and then stood up suddenly.
"Now, get out of my room."
"Before you come up with a solution, I will not accept any cooperation, nor will I let you build anything else on my land!"
"Mr. Ayers, please think about it carefully. What we are going to do may save the entire world."
"Stop your nonsense!"
Els shouted angrily.
"You don't care about the world at all. 13 lives were lost like this. You don't care at all. During this whole conversation, you didn't even care where their bodies were!"
"With such a performance, how can I trust you? Get out, get out!"
"If you don't want to go by yourself, let my gun help you!"
Looking at the black muzzle of the gun in the hand of his wife behind Ells, the staff member shook his head helplessly, then got up and walked out of the room.
He couldn't understand why Els suddenly lost control of his emotions - according to the intelligence, those workers were just workers. There was a natural class gap between Els and them, and it was almost impossible for them to become friends.
Is the information wrong?
He shook his head, turned around and got into the car.
The temporary research institute must be built. If I can't persuade Els, there will always be others who can persuade him. Today, my work is over - it's time to go have a drink after get off work.
After sending away the staff member who claimed to be from the "Healey Organization" and from the national laboratory, Ells silently returned to the room and changed his clothes. The bodies of the 13 workers were probably still lying in the cornfield, although he had already The police were called, but it would take a long time for the police to collect evidence and analyze the scene, and the work of notifying family members might not have started yet.
And I have the addresses of each of them in my hand. Maybe I should do this by myself.
Els didn't know why he had this idea. Before today, he had always been an indifferent person - or in other words, he was a person who knew his position extremely well.
He knew that he couldn't be friends with those workers, so he kept a distance from them rationally, but now, everything has changed.
Just one step away, he would also die in that terrifying restricted area. It was the worker named Neil who waved to him desperately and stopped him from entering the death zone.
At the beginning, Els was just moved by this move, but slowly, as he became calmer and calmer, and as he saw the essence of it all more and more clearly, he suddenly understood something matter.
In the crisis of adjacent dimensions, no one is special.
The fortress cannot stop the entropy jump, and money and status cannot save a person who is involved in the death zone. I am no different from them.
He silently lit a cigarette, took the gun from his wife and inserted it into his waist. Then he raised his legs and walked out the door. But just as he was about to open the door, a man's voice suddenly came from outside. .
"Is Els here?"
"Didn't I tell you to get out?"
Angrily, Els drew out his pistol, opened the door, and put the gun to the forehead of the man outside.
But what he didn't expect was that the man opposite showed no panic at all.
He just looked directly into Els's eyes and said in a relaxed tone:
"It seems you mistook me for someone else."
"who are you?"
Els asked suspiciously, without moving the muzzle of his gun an inch.
"Me? You don't need to know who I am just yet."
"But, I need your help."
"There are a lot of people who need my help today, and there are still 13 deceased people whose families I need to notify."
"We have already done this for you. Now, can we talk about my affairs?"
Els looked at the other party in surprise, and then asked:
"Who are you?"
"Okay. It doesn't matter if I tell you, we are, 'Ark'."
