Chapter 60 The Coming Storm
Recently, a rumor has arisen among the refugees.
If you are in the East District and see three people at the entrance of a small alley, two of them are ordinary-looking and one is extremely ugly, then boldly go up and talk to them, and they will take you to a small black market hidden deep in the building. .
Although the black market is small, it can be described as a dazzling array of things, at least for refugees.
As long as you have enough money, you can even enjoy the pleasure of wholesale fragments.
The most important thing is that because the amount of goods comparable to a medium-sized black market is piled up in a small black market, it becomes much more convenient to find what you need.
People who have been there often gain something.
This rumor, like an urban legend, gradually spread among the refugees and caused a certain amount of discussion.
But Wan Yi is too weak to count money.
Of course it's impossible. Why is he counting the money by himself? The money management is also handed over to several clones, and all kinds of things are handled in an orderly manner.
Wan Yi is preparing to increase his strength recently because he feels that the time has come.
But when he was about to leave for the target world, he was called over by a message from Chen Changcai.
The Guiyi headquarters sent people to 014 Sky Island.
Someone wanted to play airborne. Originally, it had nothing to do with Wan Yi, but Chen Changcai said that this incident symbolized something important, so Wan Yi went over.
A familiar office building, a familiar first-floor office.
Wan Yi arrived at the location and greeted Chen Changcai who was already waiting.
"What's wrong with you?" Wan Yi looked at Chen Changcai with some surprise. Chen Changcai was now looming, as if he might disappear at any time.
"Yesterday, we made the third qualitative change and chose 'invisibility'. It's a bit difficult to adapt to this." Chen Changcai said, reaching out to touch Wan Yi.
Wan Yi backed away in disgust.
"Hey, don't run, shake hands quickly, otherwise I feel like I'm going to fall apart." Chen Changcai said.
Wan Yi stretched out his hand suspiciously and held hands with Chen Changcai.
It feels strange in the hand, I can't feel the touch of the skin on my hand, it's more like it's fighting against wind resistance.
After holding hands for a while, Chen Changcai's appearance became slightly normal, and then they let go. Chen Changcai's hands were still restless, touching things in the room everywhere.
"How many pieces did you eat?" Wan Yi asked.
"Forty-three, half of them are wind element fragments, as well as light fragments and visual fragments." Chen Changcai answered.
"What is the effect of using it?"
"The body becomes invisible, the collision volume disappears, it can move like the wind, fly short distances, and the energy movement becomes faster."
"Very powerful ah."
"If I'm not great, then I'll be at a loss." Chen Changcai turned around and asked, "What about you? You haven't changed yet, have you?"
"Not yet, I can't think of anything good to choose." Because the clones were having enough fun by themselves, Wan Yi himself didn't care much about the qualitative change.
But when Chen Changcai said this, Wan Yi also felt that it was time to make a qualitative change.
Anyway, I have quite a lot of choices now.
"It's amazing." Chen Changcai exclaimed.
Even without a single qualitative change, things were already going smoothly.
"If you don't talk about this, what's the meaning behind sending people from the Guiyi headquarters?"
"It's very simple. This empty island is dangerous." Chen Changcai casually said a terrifying thing.
Wan Yi tilted his head: "Sequelae of qualitative change?"
"It's not a sequelae, I'm serious." Chen Changcai said helplessly.
"No, I just think it's a bit incredible to casually mention the destruction of such a large city and even the island below." Wan Yi said, "It's like your colleague telling you that the earth is about to explode when you go to work in the morning."
"Although we are no longer on earth." Chen Changcai added.
Wan Yi nodded.
Chen Changcai then added: "It doesn't mean that it will be destroyed immediately, but you have to be vigilant next time."
He thought for a moment and began to use his incomparable descriptive skills: "Have you ever played Pokémon? Or call it Pokemon or something else."
"Played with it."
"Remember the Disaster Beast? You can also call it Absol."
Speaking of this, Wan Yi immediately understood what Chen Changcai wanted to say: "Are you saying that Gui Yiyi's situation is the same as that of a disaster beast? Because he can predict the danger, he wanders around the disaster site in advance, and is then misunderstood as the incarnation of the disaster?"
"Smart. But being misunderstood is not a problem. It's just that people who understand this aspect will judge whether something is going to happen through Guiyi's actions." Chen Changcai said.
"I see, so Gui Yi can predict disasters?"
"Disasters don't happen without reason. There are always traces to follow." Chen Changcai said.
At this point, the door was suddenly pushed open, and footsteps came one after another.
Wan Yi turned around and saw a group of five unknown people.
Three men and two women, all wearing very formal white uniforms and badges symbolizing status.
One of the women was the leader. She had curly black hair and a tall figure. She was taller than Wan Yi, probably 1.8 meters tall. She had an imposing aura and brought some unique atmosphere when she walked into the room.
Among these five people, one man and one woman have Western European and American faces.
After coming in, they all looked at Wan Yi and Chen Changcai, but soon lost interest.
The leading woman said: "It seems that the funds and other support we allocate to other empty islands should be increased. I didn't expect that there is only such a little space for us on this empty island."
"This kind of marginal sky island is like this. After all, it is a free sky island, so we can't expect too much." The man wearing glasses behind said.
Yu Jin, who was following him, said: "The distribution of empty islands makes management difficult, and it is very difficult to do without practical support."
Wan Yi glanced at Yu Jin.
Although the person who came here seemed to be a big name, it was probably not easy for Yu Jin to speak with such an attitude.
"Then without further ado, we are not here for a trip." The leading woman said, and everyone walked into the adjacent conference room.
Throughout the whole process, Wan Yi and Chen Changcai acted like little transparent people.
Wan Yi turned around and saw Chen Changcai, who was silent and more transparent next to him. He reached out and patted his shoulder to bring his color back a little.
This one is really going to become a little transparent.
"do you know?"
"How do I know the people in this headquarters? They are people from the Guangming Sky Island Group."
"What the hell is the Guangming Sky Island Group?"
"The core area of jurisdiction that is completely under the control of Dawn Alliance is to our Free Sky Island what the center of the city is to the refugee area." Chen Changcai said.
"We are kissing each other over there, we are doing this, right?"
"It's almost the same, even a little further than what we did, because the free sky island has an independent city government, and most free governments like to play both sides. Even if they are nominally affiliated with a certain group, it is not impossible to be close to other groups secretly." Chen Changcai said.
Wan Yi frowned and said, "Then are we going to have a meeting?"
"Go and listen to whatever you want without disturbing them. This is all intelligence." Chen Changcai followed into the conference room.
Wan Yi also passed.
Although he probably didn't understand it even after hearing it, he probably could only leave an impression.
"Hello everyone, I am the one who led the team to deal with possible problems this time. Let me first sort out the current situation on Sky Island No. 014." The leading woman gave a brief self-introduction and started. To the point.
"Hiss... one person." Chen Changcai suddenly took a breath of cold air.
"Who is it?"
"Registered to one person, he is a member of the internal management level of a group. He is also the highest-level military unit in general dispatch situations. I have only heard of it, but it turns out that this person is definitely the one. He looks very young." Chen Changcai said.
Wan Yi listened quietly and then saw them starting to discuss.
"First of all, it's the matter of the abyss boundary floating up." The man in charge of narrating the story was the man wearing glasses. His name seemed to be Xu Geyin, a very literary name, and he looked more serious.
"The abyss boundary zone is a series of boundary zones composed of a large number of high-depth boundaries located at the lower end of the observable sky island group. It is extremely unstable and is in a state of motion at all times, floating up and down regularly. It will swallow up the sky islands along the way. Enter it. The abyss boundary zone that is about to pass through Sky Island 014 is the latest one discovered by Guiyi Road, codenamed 'Sea Monster'. It has swallowed up thirteen uninhabited islands along the way and is heading towards Sky Island 014."
A dark blue boundary strip that looks like a giant tentacle is projected on the ppt in the conference room. You can tell that it is different from ordinary boundaries just by looking at it.
The dense whirlpools on the surface looked like pairs of eyes peeping around, twisting and turning, very strange.
Suddenly, there was some discussion in the conference room, and the Guiyi members on the 014 Kongdao side seemed a little panicked about this matter.
"However, according to predictions, the 'Sea Monster' will not directly swallow up 014 Sky Island, but will pass by 014 Sky Island. According to calculations, the two will only overlap by 27% at most." The other party. continued.
Everyone's mood relaxed.
"But just this 27% overlap is enough to cause a series of problems." The man continued, "First, the contact between the boundary zone and the physical island will cause a boundary storm that will impact the city. Then' the sea The boundary between the monster and 014 Sky Island will also collide due to the approach, which will make the situation worse."
The content on the ppt became a bit abstract, but Wan Yi could tell that it should be simulating the collision of two boundary strips. Wan Yi felt that it was a bit like the typhoon diagram that he had seen before, and the fact that the boundary lines were given symbols further deepened this sense of déjà vu.
"If the response is not handled properly, the worst result is that the entire city will be reduced to rubble under the boundary storm, and a large amount of material will be turned into fragments and returned to the boundary zone to be taken away."
The atmosphere became tense.
"This is our primary question. Then, there is the matter of the Worshiping Cang Sect. The general teaching of the Worshiping Cang Sect believes that only when humans return to boundaries is the true destination, and thousands of boundaries are the foundation of the world, so they are very concerned about boundary storms and boundary lines. Regarding the collision, even if it is for the purpose of witnessing, we will be there, and it is obvious that traces of the Worshiping Cang Sect have appeared on 014 Sky Island, and their reaction is faster than us!"
"Are we bound to have conflicts with each other?" said a Guiyi member of 014 Sky Island.
"Yes, because we want to prevent boundary collisions and storms, and the purpose of the Worship Cang Cult is to allow or even expand disasters." Huang Pu answered seriously.
Everyone nodded silently after hearing this.
During the conversation, the enemy he faced gradually became clear.
