The Secret History of Mars.

Chapter 233 Arrested and returned to the ruins

Accompanied by this loud noise, the screen of the information crystal where Cui Xingmeng and Raphael were connecting via video also went black!
Raphael's connection has been interrupted!

Everyone in the welcome hall, their hearts already hanging in their chests, almost jumped out of their throats!
Everyone turned their attention to Xia Qi and the image projected by the space scanner in the welcome hall!
I saw that the tomato that had just slowed down suddenly became a lot bigger. After a short pause, it rushed towards the bloody mouth of the land of returning to the ruins at an even faster speed!
Then, before everyone could react, the tomato had disappeared into the bloody mouth, leaving only a red afterimage of the path, which remained in the image for the time being!
The interstellar transport ship was swallowed by the land of ruins!

The welcome hall fell into dead silence!

After a long time, Ye Qinghe said in a low voice, "It's still a step too late, it's all over!"

"What happened just now? It is obvious that Raphael has slowed down the speed of the interstellar transport ship, which is sliding towards the entrance of the land of return. If you persist for a while, you will be able to get rid of its gravity!" Cui Xingmeng did not give up, nor did he want to believe it. Raphael and the interstellar transport ship are gone!

"The loud noise just now was an object launched from the entrance of Return to the Ruins, and hit the interstellar transport ship!" Xia Qi's voice was inexplicably calm and cold, and at the same time, he did not stop operating.

Xia Qi played back frame by frame, the video of Cui Xingmeng and Rafael just a few seconds before and after the disconnection of the connection!
"Look, this is it!" At this moment, Xia Qi paused the screen and zoomed in on a black shadow on the screen.

After everyone's eyes became familiar with the shadow, Xia Qi played the picture slowly.

The black shadow flew out from the blood-red entrance of the Land of Return, passed through the thick clouds, and headed straight for Raphael's interstellar transport ship.

Afterwards, the black shadow merged with the interstellar transport ship, and the red light group of the transport ship, which was originally the size of a tomato, became even bigger!

Then it was the result that everyone saw, the enlarged energy group, like a kite with a broken string, rushed straight to the entrance of the Land of Return, and then disappeared inside!

After slowing down all the process, everyone understood what Xia Qi said!
It does look like the entrance of the Land of Return, launching the black shadow, hitting the interstellar transport ship, and then the interstellar transport lost control, was sucked into the bottomless abyss by the gravity of the Land of Return!

"It wasn't hit, but caught!" Ye Qinghe heard everyone's thoughts, and said aloud.

"Caught!!" Ye Qinghe's voice didn't have much warmth, but what she said made people feel even more icy!

Cui Xingmeng was shocked, and asked with goosebumps all over her body, "Who captured it?!"

"Spiritual Snake and Raphael, didn't you both say it just now? This land of returning to the ruins is not deserted!" Ye Qinghe looked solemn, "Whether it is the end of the soul or the rebellious angel, there are also their existence in that place." law!"

"Why did they capture the interstellar transport ship and Raphael?!" Cui Xingmeng didn't want to believe it. How could such a handsome and intelligent boy be drawn in? No matter how he sounds like that, it doesn't seem like a good place to end up!

"Look, the entrance to the Land of Return is closed!!" Youzi's exclamation interrupted the question and answer between Cui Xingmeng and Ye Qinghe.

Everyone turned their attention to the image of the space scanner again. At this time, Xia Qi didn't play it back, and the image showed the situation of the scene!

Just as Yuko said, just now, the area of ​​the red heat source in the thermal imaging has shrunk at a speed visible to the naked eye at the entrance of the Ruins, which was still open just now!

Xia Qi hurriedly removed the infrared imaging filter, and adjusted the picture to a visible light picture!
At this time, the thick clouds and black smoke were slowly blown away by the sea breeze, revealing the gray sea surface!
"Xingmeng, Xiao Min's database, can you still connect to Shi Yiji's social network?" Yuan Yizhou suddenly remembered something, "Are the residents on the island still missing from the world?"

"Let me see!" Cui Xingmeng used his hand to transfer the information crystal that had just connected with Raphael, and said, "It can still be connected, the distance between the moon and the earth is still within the network coverage of communication satellites , it’s just not very stable!”

"What do you say on the Internet?" Yuan Yizhou asked Cui Xingmeng, but his eyes were still locked on the entrance of the gradually disappearing land of return to ruins!

Seeing that it was still dark just now, the small island in the South Pacific now looks like it was before the disaster, with blue sky and blue sea, and it will be back in minutes!
"The official announcement hasn't come out yet. This Tongan local blogger's live broadcast was the first to be connected to the social network!" Cui Xingmeng tapped the information crystal screen a few more times, and then directed the information crystal towards Yuan Yizhou and everyone, showing the true meaning is a video!
The video was shot from the sea of ​​Tonga Island. The obvious plume of smoke and the occasional sonic boom concealed the blogger's live commentary!
The picture effect is not ideal, obviously this blogger was also shocked by the disaster in front of him!
Only using the last stubbornness of the webcaster, he broadcasted his channel globally!

The dense barrage makes it even more difficult to distinguish the details of the picture!
"How did the mainstream media report it? Is there a report on the number of casualties?" Yuan Yizhou watched the blogger's live broadcast. He didn't have much information, but at least it proved that the situation of global disconnection has eased!

Cui Xingmeng took back the displayed information crystal, continued to move his fingers for a while, and then said,
"Found it! The earthquake and tsunami triggered by the volcanic eruption in Tonga have already caused two surfers to drown, two fishermen were slightly injured, and a private plane is missing. Search and rescue are still underway!"

Cui Xingmeng read the entire official bulletin in a calm tone.

"Is this the total number of casualties?!" Ye Qinghe did not expect that such a big-spread disaster from the cloud map, with 8 people lost contact worldwide, turned out to be only a single-digit casualty on an isolated island with a high population density. !
"Private jet, whereabouts are unknown..." Yuko Nakamura repeated, "Could it be Raphael and the interstellar transport ship..."

Yuko Nakamura's guess reminded Yuan Yizhou, and he quickly said to Cui Xingmeng, "Check Raphael and his private equity fund for any announcements!"

"The company's announcement is nothing special, but look at this!" After Cui Xingmeng finished speaking, he enlarged a stock candlestick chart in the information crystal and showed it to everyone.

I saw the stock of the company wholly owned by Raphael plummeted like a cliff!
"The stock market is the most sensitive barometer of news from all walks of life. Such a sudden sharp drop must be due to a problem at the core of the company!" Cui Xingmeng was analyzing, and a message popped up from the bottom of the K-line chart. The title was——

"Report to Shareholders Regarding the Death of the Company's Largest Shareholder Mr. Raphael and His Family in Tonga"
