Dawn of a New Era

The kayak gradually moved away from the shore and headed towards the middle of the lake.

Several people took back a tube of water samples from time to time, plugged the cork, and put it in the sampling box.

The reservoir is very large, and the source and outlet are blocked. It is almost a pool of stagnant water, with little flow. The water quality in each area is different, so stratified and regional sampling must be carried out.

Sampling work, dull and boring.

A staff member suddenly talked about a topic:

Do you know how many people died yesterday?

How many?

I took a look at the statistics on the website in the morning, and there are more than 3,600 people!

Hiss! So many?

Although the number of corpses they see every day is already numb, but when they hear this number, they still feel chills down their spines.

In fact, there were more yesterday. I heard that it was more than 4,000, but this is already the highest peak, and it should drop quickly in a few days. Now that the nearby soil is sprinkled with lime, parasites are rarely detected. .” The team leader also joined the topic.

That's right, those who died were those who had been parasitized before.

While everyone was chatting, no one noticed that a huge whirlpool appeared on the surface of the water not far away, and a vague and huge shadow flashed past.

...

The next morning, Chen Shouyi woke up and checked the properties panel.

It was found that the attributes had finally changed, and the strength had increased by 0.1, reaching 16.1 points.

After staying on the earth for nearly nine days, the total increase is only 0.1.

too slow!

On the contrary, the will is not affected, and it has increased by 0.2 points.

He shook hands vigorously, and there was a slight explosion in the air, and his hair was blown flying.

Suddenly he frowned, and a picture flashed in his mind.

Although the picture was fleeting, he couldn't see what it was at all.

But he knew in his heart that these barbarians were offering sacrifices again.

I don’t know if it’s enough to eat enough. These barbarians sacrifice quite frequently, every ten days or so, and their beliefs seem to become more and more pious. Even on Earth, sometimes they can have a little induced.

He turned his back on it and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his hands.

Go downstairs, finish breakfast, say hello to your parents and walk out the door.

He has been staying at home for the past few days, and his body is about to get moldy. He is going to go outside for some exercise.

However, as soon as he walked out, he happened to meet Bai Xiaoling on the way.

President Chen, I have a mission.

He stopped walking: What's the matter?

None of the tasks that a martial artist like himself can do is easy.

Before Bai Xiaoling could speak, he said again: Tell me later, I'll go and prepare.

...

Why are you back again? Mother Chen asked strangely when she saw him running home again.

I have a small task to help with. I shouldn't be here for lunch. Chen Shouyi walked towards the stairs and said lightly.

Where are you going? Is it dangerous? Although Chen's mother was used to him going out from time to time, she still worried.

Just save yourself, you're such an adult, and you're still a great martial artist. I haven't figured it out yet, why don't you go if it's dangerous! Chen Dawei couldn't help but said.

The great warrior is also my son. I care about what's going on. It's none of your business. You want to quarrel, don't you? Mother Chen glared at him.

The fat in Chen Dawei's stomach trembled: It doesn't make sense to you, I'm going to wash the dishes.

Taking advantage of the bickering between the two elders, Chen Shouyi hurried up the stairs, changed into his sports clothes, picked up his bow bag and sword, and walked down the stairs.

Be careful! Mother Chen said.

Understood, Mom, don't worry!

Chen Shouyi said as he walked out the door, opened the garage, and pushed out the bicycle from inside.

Bai Xiaoling sat on it naturally, and put her arms around Chen Shouyi's waist naturally.

Although embracing the male god's strong and muscular abs made her feel fascinated for a moment, she still spoke quickly and skillfully.

An accident happened at the Guangming Reservoir.

Guangming reservoir? Chen Shouyi interrupted.

It's the source of the spread of parasites from another world! Bai Xiaoling immediately explained.

Continue! Chen Shouyi nodded and said.

In fact, there is a huge space channel in the reservoir, which is suspected to be connected to the swamp in another world, but it is suppressed by the atmospheric pressure on the opposite side, causing the lake water to never flow, and no one notices it.

It wasn't until yesterday that several staff members of the epidemic prevention station who took water samples suddenly disappeared and were swallowed by giant beasts in the reservoir that they finally realized it.

The military used a depth charge urgently, but it still fled back to another world.

Now that the water in the reservoir has run out, the city government is going to completely seal off the passage in this dangerous space, and is worried that the giant beast will return again. This time, the mission is to guard there and protect the construction safety there.

Bai Xiaoling briefly explained the situation.

Chen Shouyi frowned slightly when he heard that, this mission seemed to take a long time.

But let's go over there and have a look.

He drove all the way, and soon came to the blockade area. The strong smell of burnt air pierced his nostrils, and the breakfast in his stomach began to roll. He continued driving for another minute before being stopped by the blockade soldiers.

Bai Xiaoling immediately got out of the car and revealed her identity.

The soldiers checked the documents and quickly let them go.

After changing into protective clothing at the nearby outpost, the two continued on their way.

The rice on both sides of the road has turned yellow and drooped, and some poles have fallen down, but no one harvests them at all, leaving them in the field.

The nearby factories were also empty and dead silent.

There are only one truck, shuttling back and forth on the road, transporting huge amounts of materials to the disaster area.

...

Passing through a small town, Chen Shouyi saw a large number of soldiers and medical staff in protective clothing, checking from house to house.

Upstairs in the residence, many figures stood in front of the windows with numb expressions.

There is a temporary hospital ahead. Bai Xiaoling said suddenly as she was about to pass through the town.

Chen Shouyi looked at it. This was originally the town government with a signboard on it, but it has obviously been requisitioned as a hospital now.

It is said that it is a hospital, but in fact, people who enter here can only wait to die. It is only a difference between living a day and a few days. For ordinary people, once they are parasitized by parasites, they will die, and there is no cure for it.

When the bicycle passed the door, there happened to be a corpse, which was carried out and put into the corpse truck.

Xu Shi had seen many similar tragedies like this, so Chen Shouyi didn't have much trouble in his heart.

Ten minutes later, the Guangming Reservoir was already in sight.

Chen Shouyi saw that the high embankment of the reservoir was full of soldiers in protective clothing, several of whom were holding flamethrowers, and were constantly spraying fire at the bottom of the reservoir.

He parked his bicycle and walked to the temporary camp here.

After Bai Xiaoling's introduction, Chen Shouyi's regiment leader who was stationed here shook hands.

Hello, hello, Mr. Chen, my name is Gao Yuanshan. I'm relieved that you can come here. I'm really sorry to trouble you this time. I've already made arrangements for your residence. I'll ask someone to show you there Gao Yuanshan said very politely.

Captain Gao, I'm not in a hurry right now, I'll go up and see the situation first.

Chen Zonggu is really straightforward, okay! Gao Yuanshan said to the young correspondent standing next to him: Xiao Zhang, you can accompany Chen Zonggu to look around.

Yes, chief! The correspondent said loudly.

When the three of them walked to the embankment, Chen Shouyi couldn't help but look solemn. The reservoir was too big, covering several square kilometers in radius and more than 20 meters deep. Now the water level had bottomed out, leaving only a shallow layer of black water.

A large number of grotesque creatures from other worlds are moving in the black water.

Chen Shouyi even saw in the distance a huge monster that looked like a crocodile or a gecko, but was five or six meters long. Burned by the flames of the flamethrower, it was running like a wolf on the water, making a sharp howl. The water splashed like an explosion,

Several times it tried to rush to the bank, but was forced back by the flamethrower.

You're here too. At this moment, Qin Liuyuan walked over quickly, followed by a large group of warriors.

Well, I was called here. Chen Shouyi came back and said in awe.

He took a look and found that there were more than 20 warriors here. Many of them felt a little unfamiliar, and they should be newly promoted warriors.

Brother Qin, who is this handsome guy? A pretty female warrior with beautiful eyes looked at Chen Shouyi boldly and asked Qin Liuyuan.

Qin Liuyuan was taken aback, smiled, and said to the martial artist behind him: Some people may not know this person. Let me introduce you. This is Chen Shouyi, the provincial general security adviser, the only strong martial artist in Jiangnan Province.

hiss!

Everyone gasped when they heard the words, their faces shocked.
