global pollution

Niu Changshou's speed is very fast, and he doesn't know what kind of fuel his propeller uses. Its small size can support such a long time of supersonic flight.

Ten minutes later, they came to the place where the meteorite landed.

The traces of black smoke in the sky have not dissipated, and there are still a lot of thick smoke coming out of the ground.

The place where the meteorite fell was in the center of a small lake. At this time, most of the water in the lake was evaporated by the heat of the meteorite itself and the energy generated by the impact, leaving only some weak currents.

The area around the lake has been blocked by employees of the Logistics Department and the Superman Association, but no one went into the crater to check the situation.

"This color is indeed the color of the stars..."

Niu Changshou landed on the ground, retracted the thrusters, and looked at the meteorite hundreds of meters away, feeling a little absent-minded.

Xia Ren also looked over.

After being burned by the blue star's atmosphere, the meteorite was still huge after it landed on the surface. It was about 20 meters in diameter, and its surface was black. The crystalline ore, but the crystals it produces have no rules at all, and instead give people a distorted and deformed feeling.

There are countless small gaps on the surface of the meteorite, and black smoke is constantly pouring out from those gaps. The remaining water in the surrounding lakes continues to gather at the bottom of the crater, but it is evaporated before it gets close to the meteorite.

For some reason, the steam had a disgusting stench, which made the area around the lake almost a restricted area. This stench could not even be approached by the logistics team wearing a full set of protective measures.

Xia Ren narrowed his eyes, and gradually realized that the black mist from the meteorite was not completely black, it was mixed with some colors that ordinary people could not distinguish with naked eyes.

This color does not exist in any spectrum known to human beings. It is shining, not dazzling, nor dim. It looks like a pure color, and it seems to have an elegant and flowing material entity, moving upward along the black mist flow.

"This is, the color of the stars..."

Xia Ren suddenly understood why it had such a name.

At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind.

"Xia Ren, why are you here?"

He turned his head to look and found that it was Jiufeng and Yi Zhiyu.

"Why are you here too?"

Xia Ren was also a little surprised, Jiufeng was fine, Yi Zhiyu had one arm wrapped in a bandage, and there were other large and small wounds on his body, some of which hadn't even scabbed yet, and the bloody wounds were just exposed to the air, like It's just been through a tough battle.

"This is not a place to talk, let's leave here first."

Jiufeng said.

Then everyone began to evacuate, and even the employees of the logistics department and the Superman Association gradually left, leaving only some bionic robots still on the scene.

When they came to a temporary camp nearby, Jiufeng said: "The government has issued an announcement that the meteorite is highly radioactive, and has begun to evacuate the nearby citizens urgently, but everyone knows that it is too late to do anything now."

She pulled out a map and roughly drew a circle on it, matching the area the Foundation had sent investigators.

"It was originally planned that the overflow area of ​​the Star Color is about [-] square kilometers, which is the area designated by the foundation at the beginning, but..."

Niu Changshou was in a trance, and then said, "But something happened."

He covered his head with a painful expression: "It's just here, it's just here..."

Xia Ren asked suspiciously, "What is he talking about?"

Jiufeng sighed and said, "Do you know where the foundation's dark water comes from?"

Xia Ren shook his head: "Not sure."

Jiufeng explained: "Under normal circumstances, humans cannot obtain dark water, but in some areas on the blue star, there are several strange springs that can connect to the dark river, which are called dark springs. The dark springs that have been discovered so far There are three eyes in total, one in Beizhou, one in Nanzhou, and one in Xizhou."

She tapped the location near the center of the red circle on the map with her finger: "And the Mingquan in Xizhou is less than fifty kilometers away from here."

Xia Ren was puzzled and said, "Then what does this have to do with Xingzhicai?"

"It's a big deal, little brother Xia."

Yi Zhiyu's face was also ugly, whether it was because of his injuries or something else: "The color of the stars is actually a kind of creature in the deep space of the universe, where there are completely different laws from those in the solar system and even the Milky Way. The colorful germs will wander in the universe, looking for nutrient-rich life planets, and once they start to fall on the planet, they will start to absorb the nutrients of the entire planet, and will not leave until the entire planet becomes a dead star with no value .”

"Originally, it would take several months for the color of the star to mature, and we still have the opportunity to limit it to a certain area, so as not to cause the entire blue star to suffer the catastrophe, but unfortunately, they fell Near the Nether Spring, the Nether Water contains powerful vitality, which will quickly ripen the color of the stars, and we have no way to restrict it, we can only watch it spread to all places visible to the naked eye."

Xia Ren was a little stunned after listening.

"Absorb... the nutrients of the entire planet..."

What kind of concept is this, he couldn't imagine it for a while.

Niu Changshou clenched his fists: "This is already a level five disaster."

Xia Ren felt chills down his spine.

He had heard that the plague classification system of the Superman Association, five levels, has reached the end of the world, and there is almost no hope for human beings.

With this level of disaster, what else could he do?

Xia Ren tried to think, but found that his mind was blank.

"Can't Xing Zhicai be killed?"

Jiufeng shook his head and said: "No, although the colors of the stars are not invincible, they cannot absorb the vitality of powerful creatures, such as us who have reached S-level strength, and you, but the rest, whether it is ordinary humans or plants on the ground, Even bacteria, all vitality will be devoured and exhausted by the color of the stars."

"However, it is not completely hopeless."

Xia Ren looked up, expecting her to come up with a good solution.

Jiufeng hesitated for a moment, and said: "There are three shelters on the Blue Star, which are specially set up for this situation. We will protect a small number of human beings until they survive the stars and leave, but all resources are exhausted. , is no longer suitable for human habitation..."

Therefore, it is only the difference between dying a little earlier and dying a little later.

Yi Zhiyu looked at the distant sky and said, "Human beings only have one month left at most."

The truth is, as they say, there doesn't seem to be any hope.

Neither the Foundation nor the Association of Supermen intend to do anything with that meteorite, because they know that it is useless and nothing can be changed.

The Nether Spring cannot be sealed. No matter what method is used, Star Color will never let go of such a sufficient source of nutrients. Even before the meteorites have completely landed on the ground, they can't wait to find a route and invade the Nether Spring .

The nearby citizens were only evacuated to neighboring cities under the arrangement of the government, and then there was no further arrangement.

It seems that they have all given up.

In the afternoon, Xia Ren stared at the stench and went to the crater again.

After a few hours, the size of the meteorite has become much smaller. The stars have built a gorgeous bridge in the sky, connecting the distance. I learned from Niu Changshou that the other end of this beautiful bridge is connected to the Nether Spring.

Things turned around and happened at night.
