The world enters the age of mythology.

"Old Lu, how is your training going?" Shi Dayong asked suddenly after resting for a while.

"You have also seen that it will turn into giant mode at night, which is inexplicable."

Lu Yiming also had a severe headache when he thought of his second ability.Jin Lili nicknamed him "Night Giant". His secondary ability only reached its peak at night, and it swelled wildly after 8 o'clock in the evening, creating extreme conceit, which swelled out of control .

But at 0-12 points, his second ability is completely weak, and even has some counterproductive effects.

Of course, even if Lu Yiming doesn't use the second ability, but only uses the mind to possess, the mental strength can reach about [-], which is also a very standard A-level combat unit.

Shi Dayong thought for a while, and then asked: "Is the peak time of your second ability related to the sun, or is it a time in a physiological sense? Just like the planet under our feet, the standard time is not the same as that of Yunhai." Consistent, which one to follow?"

Lu Yiming pondered for a while, "It still needs to be tested, but I think it is the time in the local world, and the sun's light also has something to do with it. Hey, this ability is too complicated, and there are still many things that I haven't had time to explore."

The time is really too tight, and the night is coming soon, so most of the superpowers who have used the second-generation potion set out urgently before they have fully mastered the second ability.

This is also a helpless thing. If there is enough time, who doesn't want to explore for a year or two to maximize the combat effectiveness before going out?

But what humans lack is time.What to do now is to race against the clock!

During this conversation, the small island ahead has arrived.

Lu Yiming picked up the binoculars and looked into the distance.

Emotionally!

This is the first time in a year, once again set foot on real land!

Yes, even a small island of a little more than one square kilometer is still a serious piece of land!Although it is smaller than the Sea of ​​Clouds, there is never any risk of sinking.

The green plants above the island are lush and lush, and you can even see some weird small animals, such as crabs, ants, shells, and various wingless insects.

These small animals form a unique ecological chain on the island.

Everyone was in a pretty good mood when they saw this scene.

Lu Yiming took a deep breath and commanded: "Attention investigators, let's release a small drone to investigate the situation first."

"Everyone, prepare all kinds of scientific instruments, and we will officially land in half an hour. There should be no human survivors on this small island, but we can also get some information to rule out some disasters. For example, the toxicity of the atmosphere, the activity of microorganisms, etc., Don't forget the necessary detection tools."

"Yes!"

With the development of biological sciences today, it has long been different from what it used to be, which has enabled many instruments to be miniaturized.

For example, people can carry out microbial detection through the blue blood of a mysterious fish called Tantanyu.This fish was caught on the Yang River, and its blood was found to be significantly sensitive to a large number of pathogenic microorganisms.

If the blood suddenly changes color or clots suddenly, it means that there are deadly germs here.

Chapter 340 The 40s

The destroyer circled the edge of the island several times.

In addition to all kinds of messy biological potions, human beings have also invented all kinds of weird instruments, which can measure the value of ether, the strength of the mind, and so on.

As long as there is some kind of supernatural phenomenon hidden on the island, it is easy to find it.

This kind of powerful investigative ability has long been different from what it used to be.

What humans are most afraid of in the Sea of ​​Clouds is actually not demons and ghosts, but disasters in a physical sense, such as the atmosphere suddenly turning into a poisonous gas, which will cause disease and death if breathed in; Bacteria and viruses that even strengthened humans cannot resist.

If this kind of disaster really happened, with the ability of the Sea of ​​Clouds, there was really no way to resist it, so they could only run away in desperation.

On the contrary, it is not very scary to see strange phenomena such as monsters...

No matter what, with the strength in their hands, they all have the confidence to confront them head-on.

Now even the grassroots militias have begun to use the first generation of strengthening agents, and their strength has been greatly enhanced.

At least, the level of monsters that used to be in the White Mist Continent can no longer stop the exploration of the Sea of ​​Clouds.

In this way, time passed slowly, and several drones walked in the air for several large circles, took a lot of photos, and found no danger.

After that, several exploration team members wearing A-level enhanced suits, and more than a dozen scientists wearing power armor, carefully landed on the island.

People first checked the sea water here to test its composition.

"How?" Lu Yiming asked.

"Sodium ions, potassium ions, magnesium ions, etc. have been detected, and the composition of the seawater here is similar to that of the earth." The scientist replied: "There is no special toxicity in the seawater, and no fluctuating ether values ​​have been detected. "

"So, the seawater should be normal."

"Oh, by the way, there is a small amount of bis-p-chlorophenyltrichloroethane... which means that the people here have mastered a certain degree of chemical manufacturing ability, and this substance does not exist in nature."

"What is this thing? What's the use of double-to-chlorine?" Shi Dayong asked curiously.

The scientist smiled and explained: "A chemical substance commonly known as DDT, in the middle of the 20th century, was widely used as a pesticide in the civilization of the earth, and the effect is very good. It eliminated malaria and saved at least 5 million people. It can be regarded as making a certain contribution to human civilization.”

"However, this kind of pesticide is not used much in our country, because it has a certain carcinogenicity, is not easy to decompose naturally, and is easy to accumulate into the human body through the biological chain. However, it may still be used in underdeveloped areas such as Africa. , this pesticide is very effective against mosquitoes, and it is very cheap. If you change to a pesticide, it cannot be used in underdeveloped areas.”

"I see." Lu Yiming touched his gas mask.

He suddenly thought of the news about "Chemical Pesticide Pollution of Antarctica" that he had seen when he was in elementary school. It must have been about DDT.

Compared with the safety of human life and the safety of the environment, which one is more important is actually a rather complicated topic.

Many things have pros and cons, and the black and white way of thinking about diodes is actually unwise.

He shook his head hastily, abandoning these wild thoughts.

After a while, people found some traces of plastic and some chemical fiber substances on the beach again.

Plastics were invented at the beginning of the 20th century, while chemical fibers were invented at the end of the 19th century.That is to say, the technological strength of the indigenous civilization here is at least higher than that of these two time points.

After carefully collecting these residues into a glass box, Lu Yiming couldn't help feeling, what does human being mean to the whole world?Is it a bacterial virus parasitic above, or a purely environmental destroyer?

Even if human beings are extinct, the traces left behind still exist, and they can be easily found.

Another older scientist suddenly said: "We have detected another important piece of information, the natural radiation level of the air here is relatively low, that is, the level of Co-60 is much lower than that of the earth, so we suspect that the human beings in this world The atomic bomb was not invented."

"So according to the above traces, I guess that the technological level of this indigenous civilization will not exceed the technological level of civilization in the 20s, that is, on the eve of World War II."

"Now as long as the air is detected, can we detect whether a nuclear bomb has exploded in this world?"

"Yes, that's true. As long as the era of civilization extinction is not too long, it can indeed be done."

Some factors will be fundamentally different between a world with nuclear explosions and a world without nuclear explosions, such as the radiation background in the air.

There used to be an expensive material called "low background radiation steel" on the earth, which was mainly used to salvage shipwrecks before World War II.

And because of the large-scale nuclear tests after World War II, the concentration of radioactive nuclides floating in the air was many times higher than that before World War II, and the steel produced in this way will have a higher background radiation.

It will take hundreds of years for this background radiation to slowly disappear.

When they heard that humans in this world did not invent the atomic bomb, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Even with the continuous advancement of supernatural science, the nuclear bomb is still the most powerful weapon of the Yunhai.With the existence of this trump card, many things that are difficult for people with superpowers can be easily solved.

"Our engineers are converting 5 atomic bombs into a more powerful hydrogen bomb?"

"Yes, there is an upper limit to the power of atomic bombs, but there is no upper limit to the power of hydrogen bombs. In addition, we have talents in this field, so it is not too difficult to transform. In addition, there are powerful crystal energy Cannons can replace these superweapons to a certain extent."

Everyone carefully explored, looked around for effective information, and captured many insect specimens, and put them into glass boxes together.

So what is the disaster of this world?

The flora and fauna on the island did not find anything strange.

There are also some ordinary lives.

Small animals such as insects and crabs are very active, that is, some very conventional types, and plants do not have any variation.

"Coconut tree, here are a few ripe coconuts..."

It took half a day to go around the island, but nothing suspicious was found.

"It seems that we still have to go deep into the mainland to find out more information."

After reaching this conclusion, Lu Yiming couldn't help sighing, he knew that things would not be so simple.However, being able to rule out disasters such as soil, water sources, plants, and insects is a small gain.

"If there is no disaster on this small island, can we live directly on this small island. An extra 1 square kilometer is also good."

"It's not as simple as you think!"

Zhong Peng shook his head and pondered for a while, then suddenly said: "It can't be another periodic disaster, right? The world is in a period of peace now? Come again?"

Lu Yiming shook his head: "It's hard to say...Anyway, it's right for us to hurry up."

The exploration team returned to the destroyer with the collected samples, and many scientists began to further organize these samples.

Lu Yiming and the others sat in a room and talked with the Yunhai base camp through a remote conference.

Let's sort out what we observed today.

"Comrades from the expedition team, good afternoon. Here is some important information to share with you." Ding Yuan said in the video: "Our drone went 800 kilometers deep into the mainland, took a lot of photos, and found that this civilization was completely trapped. A state of dead silence…”

The photos show factories, fields, forests, cities, and streets.

"No living people were found in the photos! No large animals!"

The silence was terrifying.

Lu Yiming's breathing gradually slowed down, and his brows frowned.

Ding Yuan said: "So, there must be a major disaster here. And the disaster must have affected the small islands above the ocean."

"The humans here are not fools. If living on a small island can save people from disasters, they will definitely move to the island, right?"

"But since this kind of thing has not happened now, and no one lives on the island, either they are fools, or... you must have left some important information behind."

"Makes sense."

Everyone on the destroyer was shocked, and looked at the small island outside the window. Would it be possible to die here?

So, what is missing?

Everyone is racking their brains thinking about, for example, periodic disasters, or some other reasons.

According to the current research, superpowers, as a kind of spiritual power, must also follow some basic laws. For example, its appearance must be accompanied by fluctuations in "ether value". This is almost an iron law!

Without the help of "ether", superpowers cannot appear for no reason.

But people have not detected any ether value on the small island at all...

After thinking about it for a long time, I really found some strange places!

An expert on the Yunhai said in the video: "I found a very important point."

"In this world, we have observed many insects, plants, and a large number of fish, but we have not observed small mammals and birds in this world. Does this indicate something?"

"Military drones have been flying in the sky for so long, and birds have never been found. Not only birds, monkeys, dogs, cats on land, including humans, disappeared together."

Lu Yiming's heart suddenly moved. If there were no birds near the island, it would be nothing unusual.

But there are no birds in a whole continent, so there is only one reason...the birds are wiped out!

Only supernatural disasters can accurately exterminate birds!

Chapter 341 Accident

"What is the disaster that can make birds, cats, dogs, cattle, and sheep extinct? Other small insects are not extinct..."

"Could it be that there are no creatures like birds in this world?"

Another expert added: "In fact, many corpses were found in the photos, but it has been too long, most of them have decayed, and it is difficult to tell what species they are. A few of them do look like birds, and some Some are human, mammalian skeletons."

"In general, since it is a parallel world, the types of creatures should be about the same. If humans exist, pigs, cattle and sheep should also exist. Therefore, the probability that there are no birds should not be too high."

The third scientist said: "Could it be a violent storm? Poisonous gas floating in the sky? A monster that devours higher animals?"

"Or maybe the thunder in the sky killed these animals?"

"Or is it a monster that appears at night?"

Information is still too little.

While everyone was vigilant, they couldn't tell why.We can only temporarily think that this disaster has something to do with the complexity of life.

In the end, it was Lu Yiming who made the decision: "You don't need to guess wildly, since we are here, we won't back down easily."

"Without further delay, the destroyer is heading towards the New World now."
