The end of the world: mountain and sea disasters

Cold wave is present.

Rangers are not the only ones who stick to their posts.

Deep in the Jinghu Forest, in the Small Garden Workstation, recent research has reached a critical moment.

Since the workstation is built underground and the Disaster Prevention Bureau has invested heavily, no matter how icy and snowy it is outside, as long as the energy system is still running normally, the workstation will be like spring all year round.

The door to the lounge opened, and He Zhili, wearing protective clothing, quickly came out.

The gray hair on the temples is a little messy, the bags under his eyes are heavy, and the fatigue on his face cannot be concealed.

He worked until early in the morning before lying down to rest. As a result, less than three hours later, the emergency communication from the research room woke him up from his sleep.

Holding a cup of refreshing black coffee in his hand, he tilted his head and put on his Bluetooth headset. He had just walked a few steps when he saw that the door of another lounge next to him had also opened. A young researcher with a chicken coop on his head was staggering with research documents in his arms. When he came out, he had obviously just woken up.

"Xiao Luo, it's not okay to be so impatient."

He Zhili coughed twice to indicate his presence, and then said with a smile.

"I made my mentor laugh. I dreamed last night that our research had a breakthrough, and I just received an emergency message. I just got a little worried. Mentor, the laboratory said that Pandora's characteristics have changed abnormally. Do you think it is? What caused it?”

Luo Xingjie scratched his head in embarrassment and couldn't help but ask.

The current research focus of the workstation is this special existence code-named "Pandora". The various traits displayed during the research process have even broken through the existing laws of nature.

All the researchers in the workstation are waiting to uncover the mystery of Pandora, and it is worth the effort.

"Judging from the current situation, I think Pandora's growth cycle has entered a new stage. Do you still remember our recent investigation of the environment around the workstation? The people from the transportation team provided us with more information two days ago. Detailed information.”

Taking a sip of black coffee, He Zhili expressed his opinion after thinking, paused, and added,

"We originally discovered that Pandora's area had a large area of ​​animal and plant mutations, generally showing enlarged body sizes and deformed limbs. Now that we think about it, it should be some kind of energy particles or energy particles that spread during Pandora's development process. It’s caused by radiation.”

"It's a pity that the cold wave came so quickly. Our investigation team collected only a small part of the samples. It became a world of ice and snow outside, and it was impossible to go out. I went up to take a look yesterday. The momentum of the snowstorm was really exaggerated. It was really terrifying. ”

"According to the information from the General Administration of Disaster Prevention, this cold wave will last about a week, and there are still five days left. Let's just wait and see."

Although the intensity of the cold wave was terrifying, it did not last long, which was a blessing among misfortunes.

While talking, the two walked into the elevator and headed to the floor where the laboratory was located.

When they entered the laboratory, they were surprised to find that the atmosphere here was extremely dull, and there was no joy at all about a breakthrough in research.

Several researchers who had been particularly excited to contact them were sitting in chairs, covering their foreheads, or lost in thought. Their mental states were a bit sluggish, as if they had suffered some kind of mental shock.

"Why are we in this state? Is there something wrong with Pandora?"

He Zhili turned his eyes to the experimental cabin where Pandora was located, and noticed that the outside of the cabin wall had been closed, making it difficult to see the situation inside. He couldn't help but frown, and looked at the researcher next to him and asked.

"At 8:35 this morning, Pandora's germ showed abnormal movement. Fifteen minutes later, the germ changed abnormally. I can't describe the process of its mutation in words. Its current characteristics are different from when we found it. It shows a completely different state, and more importantly, its current state, if observed with the naked eye, seems to have a certain impact on people’s spirit, so I recommend you wear it.”

The researcher described what had just happened, then picked up a special pair of goggles and handed them to He Zhili's hands.

"Will observing Pandora have any mental impact?"

Capturing the key information mentioned in the researcher's words, He Zhili asked in surprise. Seeing the former nodding solemnly, he chose to put on his goggles and walk towards the experimental cabin.

At the same time, the researcher motioned for the others to turn around, and he put on his goggles and walked to the console to open the bulkhead.

As the experimental bulkhead slowly rose.

An indescribable color suddenly appeared on the surface of He Zhili's goggles.

As the battlefield of the small garden workstation, He Zhili, who was already enthusiastic about research, immediately took two steps forward and locked his gaze on Pandora, who had completely transformed into another existence inside the bulkhead.

He Zhili had various assumptions about Pandora's changes, but this level of change still exceeded his expectations.

After the mutation, Pandora was unusually active and seemed eager to do something. He Zhili looked at the colors squirming against the experimental bulkhead and vaguely realized that something was wrong.

It’s not just the garden workstation where things get out of hand.

A large farm outside Danhang City.

An escape is taking place inside the greenhouse.

The emergence of extreme weather has increased the work pressure of farmers. The greenhouse needs regular patrols to ensure that it will not be damaged by wind and snow. During the inspection, something unexpected happened!

The farmer wearing thick winter clothing ran between the wooden frames wrapped around the tomato vines, with a look of horror on his face, grabbing the walkie-talkie in his hand and shouting,

"Here he comes, Man-Faced Magic Bird. Shed No. 3, come and save me!"

Recently, many farms outside Danhang City have been attacked by the human-faced demon bird. So far, more than 13 people have been attacked, dragged into the sky by it, and finally disappeared deep in the Jinghu Forest.

It was thought that the arrival of the cold wave would temporarily stop the horrific attacks.

I never imagined that this monster would appear here despite the wind and snow!

While running, the panicked farmer tripped over a fertilizer bag placed between the ridges of the field and fell forward to the ground.

When he got up in embarrassment, what appeared in his field of vision were two sharp claws clasping the top of the wooden frame, with a long tail hanging down from the middle.

A pair of dark wings spread out, and the ferocious face that made people dare not look directly looked forward.

"Me, don't kill me."

The farmer knelt down tremblingly and tried to beg for mercy, but what he saw was the strange color surging in the monster's dark blue eyes.

Outside the shed.

The farm guard team rushed to the scene after receiving the call for help.

After all, it was still a step too slow.

I could only watch helplessly as a black shadow tore apart the roof of the greenhouse, fluttered its wings and rose into the wind and snow high in the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

After firing several shots without any results, the captain seemed to have thought of something and turned to ask the team members,

"Recently, haven't we installed positioning devices on all staff's uniforms? Can they be detected?"

The occurrence of more than a dozen disappearances forced the Disaster Prevention Bureau to install locators on farmers working on the farms in order to be able to locate the attackers immediately after an attack.

"Report to the captain, the signal can still be detected for the time being, and the target is moving deep into the Jinghu Forest!"

The team members quickly gave the answer.

As for why it is temporary, it is because the snowstorm will cause interference to signal reception.

Once the target is out of range, the positioning device will lose its function.

"Contact the Disaster Prevention Bureau, contact the Forest Defense Bureau. The only ones who can track the human-faced owl now are forest hunters!"

Currently, only the rangers are still stationed near Jinghu Forest, and this is their last hope to track down the human-faced owl.
