The world enters the age of myth

"...You don't know anything? Well, I know that you can't count on..."

Before taking a break, Lu Yiming specially entered the mobile phone space and consulted the ceramic villain.

It's a pity that the little ceramic man doesn't know what this red coffin is, nor does he give any solution. For it, the blue fireflies and the red coffin are all in a state of ignorance.

I had no choice but to exit the mobile phone space, lie on the bed, and send a text message.

"Lily, how are your preparations going?"

"We used body-strengthening potions on more than three hundred soldiers... However, it is difficult to quickly increase physical strength. It requires at least two months of growth time, and... Oh, forget it, let's have a good rest today. "Jin Lili replied on her mobile phone, "It seems like everything is calm now, right?"

"Yes, there seems to be no problem inside the Yunhai now. If you have anything, please tell me immediately."

"Yeah, I know."

Lu Yiming shook his head and gave up his random thoughts.

There is no other way, no matter how worried you are, you must force yourself to go to bed and rest. Only when you have enough energy can you solve bigger problems.

Human beings who have enhanced body functions still need to rest. They need at least 6 hours of sleep a day, no matter how much it takes 4-5 hours, to keep the brain awake.

As a result, as soon as he woke up from his sleep, Lu Yiming saw a very bad news from the notification on his mobile phone: Last night, the death toll on the Nanfeng was as high as 38 people!

Moreover, the spread of death on the Nanfeng side is accelerating rapidly, showing an exponential trend of increasing!

He jumped out of bed as quickly as possible, and when he rushed to the conference room, he grabbed a sandwich from the dining car.

"On the Nanfeng side, thirty-eight people died in one night..."

"It was fine at first, but then, around 11 o'clock at night, suddenly there were a large number of death cases." Ding Yuan's face was serious, holding various materials in hand.

Everyone in the conference room was silent, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

"How did these people die? Is there any surveillance video?" Lu Yiming asked.

"For the time being... it's better not to watch the video, because the probability of being attacked will be greatly increased for those who have watched the video." Ding Yuan shook his head and said seriously: "The first person to die was a man named Zheng Wen The man in the building is also one of the top officials of the Nanfeng."

"He was attacked by a strange life form wearing red clothes. Several soldiers following him immediately opened fire. After finding that the shooting was ineffective, the soldiers ran away."

"These survivors reported the incident to military brass."

Ding Yuan said calmly: "I was immersed in it for about half an hour, and then the few soldiers who escaped died...it only took about five minutes, and they all died in a small, airtight room."

"Next, those who were in close contact with these soldiers and the analysts of the surveillance video will die. Those who are suspected of witnessing its true appearance will be attacked immediately."

Lu Yiming swallowed.

The horror of this unknown ability, this time... unfortunately, I encountered it.

Ding Yuan analyzed: "In other words, the way this terrorist disaster spread is probably like this... If you witness Hong Yi's strange true face, you are likely to be attacked first, even if it is a surveillance video. .At the same time, that...red one is still wandering randomly on the Nanfeng, and everyone he meets is dead."

"Where's the wandering route?"

"I don't know...maybe it's random."

"Its current special abilities are still unclear. The only certain points are that, first, the machine gun's shooting does not seem to be of much use... Note that it is not of much use, not completely useless."

"Second, it can affect the light emitted by surrounding electric lights, plunging the surrounding environment into darkness."

"Third, its attack methods seem to be blood-sucking, claw attacks and other physical attacks."

"The Nanfeng has issued an order prohibiting everyone from wearing red clothes, and violators will be shot. Should we also issue a similar decree?"

Shi Dayong immediately said: "That's right. At this moment, don't risk your life wearing red clothes! Control immediately!"

Faced with this preventive measure, everyone was discussing it. Some people think that further observation should be carried out, and rashly promulgating laws can easily cause panic among the people.

Some people also think that it should be promulgated immediately to identify attack targets. At this special moment, if someone in red clothes wants to die, the army will not mind giving him a bullet and letting him go to the west.

Lu Yiming frowned, listening to the noisy discussion, he was thinking about other things.

Since the sun has set, except for the dark red moon, there is no natural light source in the sky. If an unknown strange life destroys the electric lights, the interior of the shelter will be completely dark and nothing can be seen, which will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of the confrontation. .

Lu Yiming suddenly said: "I was thinking, since that weird thing can affect artificial light sources, is it the light source that it is afraid of? Can the fierce bright light... be able to kill it?"

An official responsible for obtaining information from the Nanfeng said: "It is possible, but... it is not certain."

"But according to my investigation, Nanfeng may not have the industrial strength to manufacture large light sources."

Lu Yiming frowned and said: "They don't have it, but we do. We should quickly build some large-scale light sources, and then send these things over to help them fight! Moreover, we also need to prevent that thing from wandering over, and quickly build some large-scale light sources." The light source is reserved. If there is no light when the battle comes, then what are we fighting for? Without a light source, how can we use our ears to identify objects? "

At this time, don't think about blackmailing something from the Nanfeng. Solving this matter as quickly as possible is the key!

If it continues to be delayed and the population is allowed to die on a large scale, Lu Yiming is vaguely worried that sooner or later such a horrific disaster will spread.

No, there is no need to doubt that as long as it is not completely resolved, this disaster will definitely spread to the Unkai!

"Yes, this matter is very important." Ding Yuan also nodded.

After the meeting, many engineers were called together to try to build a super light source that would not be affected by the "mysterious power".

Lu Yiming, as a member of the combat commander, also joined the discussion.

They were thinking sadly, what is the so-called "mysterious power"? Why does it affect the lighting of electric lights?

How to resist the "mysterious power" is completely unbelievable, even impossible.

"Did it hinder the flow of current in the light bulb? Or did it directly destroy the light bulb? We haven't even found the reason why the light went out. It would be great if we could investigate on the spot."

"I heard, just heard... that wherever something strange appears, it will bring substantial darkness, forcing the lights to shine."

"Substantial darkness?! This term is too general..."

"The Nanfeng side is in a mess, and there is no way to provide more information..."

Although there are real death squads on the Yunhai ship, it is impossible for Lu Yiming to send the death squads into the Nanfeng to obtain information.

Now...is not the time yet.

All engineers knew the urgency of the task, but it was difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. If they didn't know any information, they really couldn't do anything.

"It's not like it can't be created. It's not like it can't fight the laws of physics if it's weird."

A gray-haired engineer patted his head and said: "I have thought of two options. The first is to use the most primitive redox reaction to create a very large light source. For example, an improved plan for a flare is to use aluminum powder in the air. It burns violently and can bloom extremely brightly. The mysterious power of strange life can't force the flare to not shine, right?"

Redox reaction is the most common chemical reaction in nature. From the rust of steel to the burning of wood in the air to the respiration of life, they are all manifestations of the redox reaction.

It’s hard to imagine that a strange thing that can suppress redox reactions, if it really appeared, would kill people in just a matter of minutes. It would directly make people unable to breathe and lose energy. Wouldn’t that be the end of it? Is it necessary to suck blood or something?

"That makes sense!"

"However, there are also disadvantages to using flares. The duration is relatively short. When used in a small space, it is easy to burn the surrounding things. And the brightness is too high, which will blind the eyes of others... so we must improve it. .”

The engineer added: "The second option is to use radioactive elements. There are many radioactive elements that form their own light sources and will automatically emit light."

"However, it is also very harmful. Without special protection, humans can easily die from excessive radiation."

"Then...let's take the first option!"

Lu Yiming considered for a few seconds: "The light intensity must be sufficient, and it must last for at least 20 minutes, or half an hour. How many hours can you build a large light source?"

"We... try our best! But no matter what, it will take three to five hours."

These engineers get together to discuss, design plans, and then start work.

Taking advantage of this period of time to build new light sources, the military on the Unkai urgently donated a batch of flares and sent them to the soldiers on the Nanfeng free of charge.

However, the Nanfeng was in uncontrollable chaos. The army's will was weakened. A large number of high-level officials and refugees, in a strong panic, actually wanted to cross the checkpoint and run to the Sea of ​​Clouds. They subconsciously believe that the powerful and rich Unkai is a safer place.

As a last resort, Shi Dayong could only lead a large number of soldiers to directly seal the checkpoint connecting the two sides. At the same time, he connected high-voltage electricity around the area and knocked out several people who wanted to break through. A farce was forcibly suppressed.

Although it is very inhumane to do this, there is no way, there is a close relationship between people... After all, the people of the Nanfeng have not really joined the Sea of ​​Clouds. The first priority of the Unkai military is to protect its own people.

There is no problem for the death squads to charge into battle in order to protect their homeland, but in order to protect the Nanfeng, many soldiers still feel a little reluctant.
