Homo sapiens.

grunt!Vincent froze.

An indescribable fear suddenly surged into my heart.

Victor, who followed closely behind, also had an extremely ugly face.

After 3 minutes, the current burned through the tolerance limit of the magnetic monopole crystal, the entire crystal disintegrated completely, and the power transmission effect ended immediately.

Chapter 512 Breaking the Flow

Victor's eyes were fixed on Nick's body.

Nick, who has been completely familiarized by electricity, still has his last nostalgia for this world and indescribable horror in his eyes.

Vincent hurriedly led two agents to carefully examine Nick's body.

After examining the body, an experienced veteran agent said in a low voice, "It was electrocuted, and there were no other poisoning or hidden wounds."

Vincent frowned: "He doesn't even have a mobile phone on him, and there are no sockets or wires in this room. How did he get electrocuted to death?"

The old agent was also at a loss. He checked the bed and the walls, but none of them had any contact with the wires. The electrical appliances in the room were just the LED lights on the ceiling, the specially designed air conditioner, and a landline phone.

Another agent pinched his hair: "This electric current seems to come out of Nick."

However, Vincent shook his head: "We did a detailed body check on Nick before, and found nothing abnormal. It is impossible for the static electricity in the body to kill a person."

Vincent, who was preconceived, obviously didn't believe in the saying that the human body generates electricity spontaneously.

After all, human beings are not electric eels, and the occasional static electricity can only cause skin itching and scalp numbness at most. There is no case for human static electricity to kill people.

Vincent is more inclined that Homo sapiens uses electric current to kill Nick by some means.

Victor, who calmed down, told Vincent, "Vincent, you are in charge of investigating this matter. Even if this safe house is demolished, you must find out the problem for me."

"Yes." Vincent replied very seriously.

Victor, who hurriedly left the scene, went to the core security office area of ​​the Pentagon.

After checking layer by layer and passing through three security doors, Victor saw Edward.

And Edward also knew that Nick was directly electrocuted to death under strict protection. He also attached great importance to and feared this matter.

Inside the office.

As soon as he saw Victor walking in, Edward couldn't wait to ask: "How's the situation? Has the assassination method been investigated?"

Victor had only helplessness on his face: "No, there is no sign at all."

"How is this possible?" Edward's body trembled slightly. For this kind of secret room murder, he thought that some unknown means must have been used.

"There is still no investigation yet. I have arranged for an in-depth investigation, but I don't have much hope for it." Victor said later, without any confidence in his words.

"Damn it, Homo sapiens didn't take us seriously at all!" Edward gritted his teeth, his face full of anger.

However, Victor understands that the stronger the strength displayed by Homo sapiens and the tougher the means, the more fearful the members of the council will be, and the more likely the council will adopt a compromising attitude towards the oppression of Homo sapiens. high.

Just like before, the Homo sapiens company has extended its hand into the Aztec region, unscrupulously crowding out American people throughout Central America.

Now all over Central America, anyone who dares to openly pro-American will definitely end up miserable.

Except for the more tenacious and independent Republic of Cigar Island, and the place itself controlled by America, all parts of Central America are now more inclined to Homo sapiens companies.

Facing the aggressiveness of Homo sapiens, America still endured it.

From this point, Victor knew how soft the current America was.

They were almost pushed to the door, and all the behind-the-scenes bosses on the council dared not even fart.

Victor has heard too many curses from Edward these days, but his strength is not as good as others, and now he can only be incompetent and furious.

After scolding for a few minutes, Edward was also tired, and sat down again: "Suspend the infiltration mission against Homo sapiens on the surface, now is not the time to stimulate Homo sapiens."

"I'll arrange it." Victor nodded helplessly.

this is the truth.

So what if a person was killed, knowing that Homo sapiens was responsible, but the Pentagon could only swallow their anger, as if nothing had happened.

Just as the two were discussing how to deal with the increasingly terrifying pressure from Homo sapiens.

……

A sudden cold air quickly traveled all the way south from the Arctic Ocean, crossed the Maple Leaf Country, and entered the Great Lakes region of America.

Lake Michigan, Michigan.

The blizzard, mixed with hail, quickly formed a thin layer of crushed ice on the lake.

NOAA, America's weather management agency, was also caught off guard by the sudden cold air at this time.

NOAA is headquartered in Maryland.

Dozens of weather analysts and supervisors in NOAA's headquarters, the Weather Analysis Center, watched the cold arctic air mass suddenly heading southward, and was rapidly advancing towards the Mississippi Great Plains and the Gulf of Aztec.

Jessica, the person in charge of the weather warning work, hurriedly ordered to the assistant: "Immediately issue an orange cold wave warning to the southern states!"

"OK."

Dr. Magellan, who was in charge of meteorological analysis, had a serious face: "Jessica, the situation is very bad."

"Doctor, it's just a cold wave, shouldn't it be a big problem?" Jessica is obviously not a meteorological professional, she is only in charge of management.

Dr. Magellan, who has been in the industry for decades, knows that this cold wave is different from the past: "Jessica, please ask the director to communicate with the above as soon as possible. Just tell him that the North Atlantic warm current has been severely cut off recently, and he will understand. seriousness of the matter."

"North Atlantic Current? OK." Jessica nodded.

Dr. Magellan continued to lead a group of meteorological analysts to study the changes in the Earth's atmosphere and oceans at this time.

Judging from recent data from geological remote sensing satellites.

The seawater temperature of the North Atlantic warm current has dropped to about the same as that of the Whale Sea at the same latitude.

Without the warm water vapor brought by the North Atlantic warm current, the average temperature of the entire eastern coast of North America and the western coast of Europa is much lower than in previous years.

You know, at this time the northern hemisphere has reached the end of spring, and it is less than a month away from early summer in May.

However, at such a time, a cold wave quickly swept across North America.

Since there are no tall east-west mountains in central North America, this leads to cold air at high latitudes that can drive straight in.

The temperature drop of the North Atlantic warm current caused the sea water temperature in the Aztec Bay to be low, which in turn affected the northward strength of the equatorial hot air mass.

In the case of ebb and flow, even if the pressure of the high-pressure cold air mass in the Arctic is not too high at this time, it can still advance all the way south.

Soon the cold air reached the Mississippi Great Plains.

As a large agricultural area at the core of North America, it was not long after the spring sowing at this time, and many soybeans, corn, and wheat that had just emerged were instantly damaged by low temperatures of several degrees below zero.

For crops that have just emerged, let alone a few degrees below zero, even weather below 5 degrees Celsius will affect the yield. In the current situation, the entire army is basically wiped out.

The cold air rattled and killed all the way, from the Great Lakes Plain to the coastal plains of Texas.

Even in the southern coast of Texas with the lowest latitude, the local minimum temperature is only 2-4 degrees Celsius at this time.

Even the eastern coast of the northern region of the Aztecs has also been affected.

However, this is just the beginning.

Chapter 513 Production Reduction

Galaxy 2, February 4nd.

The cold wave disaster in North America continues.

And the southern hemisphere, which is about to enter winter, is also in a state of many disasters.

The Pampas grassland in South America was torrentially rainy. In some local areas, on April 4, 22 millimeters of rainfall fell in one day. The heavy rain caused floods.

In Kangaroo Country, which is also in the southern hemisphere, most of its territory has not rained for 173 consecutive days at this time, and many rivers and lakes have dried up.

In the Transvaal region, the southernmost part of Africa, winter has entered ahead of schedule, and some places have already started to snow. For example, Cape Town, the southernmost part, has experienced blizzards.

As for the tropical regions, there are not a few abnormal weather, such as a general increase in precipitation in the Sahara Desert, drought in the Deccan Plateau, floods in West Pakistan, and typhoons in Southeast Asia.

The extreme weather around the world this year has had a serious impact on agricultural production in various places.

Among the four major powers in the free world, Lucia has not yet passed winter at all, causing the wheat, potatoes, sugar beets and sunflowers in the Eastern European Great Plains to be unable to sow in time.

The western coast of Europa is even more miserable, because their latitude is actually similar to that of the northeast region of Serris. Without the warm water vapor brought by the North Atlantic warm current, the temperate marine climate they depend on for survival has become "not warm".

Temperatures in Britain, Germany and northern France are now jumping sideways, making open-air farming difficult.

Instead, the Dutch took the opportunity to make a fortune by virtue of large-scale greenhouse agriculture.

The prices of vegetables and fruits, which had been suppressed, soared again in less than a month.

Of course, vegetables and fruits are actually small things.

Because there is another more important thing, that is, the prices of bulk agricultural products have also entered a hurricane mode.

The prices of wheat, corn, rice, barley, sugar beets, sunflower seeds, rapeseed, peanuts, and soybeans all rose to varying degrees.

As for why there is no sugar cane and palm, the answer is that the four major powers have lost their voice in the tropics. In addition, after the complete decoupling of the Free World and Homo sapiens, the bulk commodities of the two sides are rarely traded.

At present, 92% of the world's sugarcane production and 100% of palm oil production are in the hands of Homo sapiens. Naturally, these two commodities will not appear in the futures market of the free world.

If there were no such serious natural disasters, the agricultural production capacity of the free world would be very rich.

The combined food production capacity of America and Lucia is enough to feed 8 to 9 million people, and forces such as the Europa Federation can barely support themselves.

But God is not beautiful.

Extreme weather directly hits agricultural production around the world.

Except for Homo Sapiens, which started indoor dull agriculture to make up for production capacity, the agricultural production capacity of other forces has shrunk to varying degrees.

Some forces actually have to thank Homo sapiens. If Homo sapiens hadn’t recruited more than 6 million local employees, they would have had a harder time. Even if they had stocks, they would not be able to withstand the large-scale shutdown of agricultural production.

As for those small forces that still need to purchase large quantities of food, such as the Saudi Kingdom in West Asia, Persia, Ottoman, or the Abd Wad Republic in North Africa and the like.

They have only one option now.

That is to hug the thigh of Homo sapiens father quickly, otherwise it will really be over.

Without vegetables and fruits, just bear with it and pass.

Without food, it would be very fatal.

……

Nimanya.

Although it was also affected by the cold wave in Eastern Europe, the open-air agriculture has reduced a lot of production.

However, the local branch of Homo sapiens started a part of the underground indoor light-free farm as early as the beginning of the year, using the energy generated by the nuclear power plant to continuously produce various vegetables and fruits, grain feed, sugar, edible oil, meat, eggs and milk.

Prices in various cities in the Nemanya region have not fluctuated at all.

The local per capita monthly income is still 2477 gold dollars, and the median income is around 1950 gold dollars.

In the Balkan region where Nemanya is located, the monthly per capita income of the surrounding members of the Europa Consortium is around 1500 to 1800 euros.

It looks like the two revenue figures are about the same.

If calculated according to purchasing power, 1 gold dollar is equivalent to about 35 euros at this time.

This is an extremely scary number.

The employees of the local Homo sapiens company in Nimanya traveled by space shuttle, and it only cost 5 gold dollars a trip. This is the terrifying purchasing power of gold dollars at this time.

In order to facilitate the daily transactions of gold dollars, Homo sapiens had to launch coins with a face value of 1 cent.

Inside the Harvest House supermarket in Bell City.

Simmons watched his wife Sophia pick and choose from the shelves, and he suggested helplessly, "Sophia, you should let your brother come to Nimanya to find a job!"

"You don't know his personality?" Sophia picked up a 3kg box of premium purple tomatoes and glanced at the label on the box. The price was 0.27 yuan a box.

"But it's not an option to rely on mail all day. He doesn't eat fruits and vegetables, but your parents want to eat them! The elderly don't have enough vitamin intake, and their immunity is prone to decline." Simmons rolled his eyes speechlessly.

His elder brother's family lives in the Naples area of ​​Western Rome, and the other party is a pretentious fashion designer. In addition, the fashion designer's job is not easy to do now, and his income can only barely make ends meet.

Especially when there are two elderly people in the family, the economic situation is even worse.

But now the prices of vegetables and fruits in West Rome have increased significantly.
