"Although I don't quite understand what you're talking about, it sounds very reasonable."
Daniel Zhang pondered for a moment, clenched his fist, and waved it heavily. "Well, since it's for the sake of Earth's tomorrow and the peace of the universe, I'll set a small goal first. I'll strive to write ten million words first! I can't take it anymore. After hearing what you said, there seems to be a holy sense of mission surging in my chest. Many inspirations and ideas are scrambling to emerge. I think I can still write, no, I mean I can still write! "
"There's no hurry."
Lady Gray Fog glanced at Li Yao and Daniel Zhang. "The two of you should come with me to study tomorrow's evacuation route first."
Lady Gray Fog brought the two of them to a fully enclosed warehouse on the eleventh floor.
This place seemed to be a heavily guarded vault. The door was made of alloy and was half a meter thick. It relied on a huge wheel to open and close.
A large number of suspected weapons were stored in the warehouse. The reason why they were "suspected" was that they were not the guns Li Yao had seen on TV or in the movies. Instead, they had a strong sci-fi or even magical flavor. Even if the trigger was pulled, it would not be strange for lasers to shoot out.
"Hum, hum, hum!"
When Lady Gray Fog threw a weapon that looked like a flashlight to Li Yao, Li Yao played with it for a long time. When he pressed the switch on it, the flashlight suddenly made a strange sound. Then, a crimson beam of light suddenly appeared, turning it from a "flashlight" into a "fluorescent lamp."
"This is —"
Li Yao was shocked. He could clearly feel the burning and destructive aura from the "fluorescent lamp." He vaguely felt that it was familiar, as if he had seen a similar … fantasy weapon in a movie.
"Be careful. This kind of lightsaber contains very powerful energy. If it falls to the ground, it may burn through the floor and fall to the floor below," Lady Gray Fog said.
"Logically speaking, this is the Ark Foundation's top-secret weapons warehouse. Every weapon stored here is a priceless treasure. Some of them have even been preserved through countless hardships from the previous reincarnation and the reincarnation before that. We can't let you use them as you please. However, the situation is urgent. In order to return to the Ark as soon as possible, we can't care so much."
"From … the previous reincarnation?"
Li Yao pondered over Lady Gray Fog's words. From the sound of it, apart from memories and information that could escape "reboot," even the items themselves could escape reincarnation and be left behind for countless generations?
Of course, from another perspective, matter and energy could be transformed into each other. The so-called matter was nothing more than the condensation and manifestation of energy in a specific way. This "specific way" was information itself.
Everything was information. As long as the information could cross countless reincarnations and not be destroyed, the item could naturally be preserved for thousands of years.
He also wanted to ask more about the Ark Foundation's method of retaining matter in the "reboot", but the Lady of Grey Fog had already projected a huge screen on the white wall in front of them, showing them news from all over the world.
During the twenty-four to forty-eight hours that Li Yao was unconscious, the entire world was attacked by a super natural disaster, and the order of human society was in chaos.
In Japan, a massive earthquake of immeasurable intensity once again hit Edo Bay. Not only did it have a population of tens of millions, but the top three largest cities in the world had become a drowning country. The entire Kanto region was also trembling under the impact of storms and tsunamis.
According to the preliminary analysis of earthquake experts around the world, the intensity of this earthquake had surpassed the magnitude 9.5 earthquake that had occurred along the coast of Chile in the past. It officially ranked as the first in human history.
In the videos posted by many news media and netizens, it could be seen that the bustling city that was still brightly lit two days ago had turned into a lifeless cemetery. The high-rise buildings had become crooked tombstones. The explosion caused by the leakage of the natural gas pipeline was like the faint phosphorescence that flowed out of the bones. The seawater was like a ferocious beast, rampaging on the flooded streets. Millions of people were soaked into white and swollen corpse balls and became food for fish and shrimp.
On the satellite map, the Japan Archipelago, which was originally in the shape of a crescent moon, seemed to have been bitten by an enormous beast from the east. The fangs of the tsunami and the storm were still tearing the flesh and blood of the hinterland of the archipelago. The tragedies that had been predicted in the immortal work "The Sinking of the Archipelago" written by the famous science fiction author "Sakyo Ogawa" in the past were slowly but irresistibly playing out in front of people at this moment.
"This super earthquake seems to have activated hundreds of dormant volcanoes all over the archipelago. Many volcanoes are showing signs of eruption. If hundreds of volcanoes erupt at the same time and there is another earthquake of the same scale or even stronger, then it is not unimaginable that the archipelago will completely sink."
Lady Gray Fog said solemnly, "Japan is a country with an extremely developed fantasy culture. There are a lot of 'observers', so they are under the surveillance of Earth's will. Every time Earth reboots, Japan is always the first to bear the brunt of natural and man-made disasters. Its capital has suffered countless devastating blows.
"We, the Ark Foundation, have a lot of members there too. Unfortunately, the local order is completely out of control. Most of the flights have been suspended. Even the flights in flight have been attacked by lightning and thunderstorms. They have to turn back or even be shot down. It's … very difficult for them to escape."
Several videos, several pictures, and reports from major news media around the world outlined the horror of the end of the world.
Li Yao and Daniel Zhang also put away the frivolity on their faces. Their expressions were very serious.
The entire world was an inseparable whole. If the end of the world really came, no country would be able to survive alone.
Even if they did not care about the Japan Archipelago completely sinking, it was impossible for such an earth-shattering change not to have an impact on East Asia. Judging from the current development trend, it did not seem strange that an active volcano would suddenly appear tomorrow in the most stable place in the country.
"It's not just the Japan Archipelago that is facing the threat of sinking. The people on the other side of the Pacific Ocean are also facing hurricanes, storms, tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions that are beyond the limits of normal limits."
Lady Gray Mist showed Li Yao and Zhang Daniu a series of pictures, including the cities that were drowned by floods and storms in the most powerful country in the world, the tornadoes that were savaging and swallowing the central and western plains, and the whole process that a magnificent volcano was gradually waking up from the intense black smoke that was spurting out.
"This is the Red Rock Volcano at the center of Red Rock National Park. It's the largest dormant volcano in North America," Lady Gray Fog said.
"However, since yesterday, the word 'dormant' no longer applies to it. You can clearly see how terrifying the smoke and dust it spews out is. It simply covers the sky with a radius of hundreds of kilometers. And this is just the commotion before it completely wakes up.
"Scientists have once predicted the consequences of the Red Rock Volcano's complete eruption. This volcano's dormant cycle is 600,000 to 700,000 years. Every time it erupts, it will bring a catastrophe to the entire continent and even the entire Western Hemisphere. Magma and volcanic debris will sweep across a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers, razing everything in its path to the ground. Volcanic ash is even more likely to cover a radius of tens of millions of kilometers, turning the entire North American continent into a dead zone where the sun can't be seen. It might even cause the whole world to fall into a new ice age.
"And this is just the consequences of an eruption in a 'normal state.' God knows how terrifying the Red Rock Volcano's eruption will be under the interference of Earth's will."
Li Yao and Daniel Zhang were silent. The two of them quickly browsed the relevant news websites and forums.
It could be clearly seen that in addition to the Fusang Archipelago and the North American continent, various super natural disasters had occurred in Asia, Europe, and even Africa and Oceania. In some places, tsunamis raised water walls dozens of meters high, swallowing coastal towns one after another. In some places, thunderstorm areas with a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers appeared, like terrifying forests made of lightning. In some places, cracks as deep as thousands of meters appeared due to earthquakes, like new canyons that were cracking open at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the information age, the natural disasters were ten times faster and more intense than before.
Although the natural disasters caused the network paralysis in many places, a lot of terrifying information was still transmitted, turning into 'panic plagues'. Many countries were on the verge of completely losing control.
Seeing that, Li Yao vaguely understood why the Red Pole Planet had set the nest of the resistance organization on a supertanker.
The supertanker was a natural island that was isolated from the rest of the world. As long as it sailed in the deep sea and covered its existence in special ways, it would be almost unaffected by any natural or man-made disasters. The so-called tsunamis and tides often only existed in the continental shelf where the water was relatively shallow. To raise a natural disaster that was enough to destroy a supertanker in the middle of the ocean thousands of meters deep, the energy required would be astronomical.
"We did not expect the natural disasters to be so intense in only two days, but it further indicates the panic and weakness of the enemy, as well as your importance," Gray Mist said.
"Right now, basic social order is still maintained here. Part of the highways have been closed, but several railway lines leading to the border are still in operation. At six o 'clock tomorrow morning, we will take the train to the border. After we cross the border, more partners will come to pick us up.
"This is Uncle Hui, the 'Seven Gods'. This is' Sparda ', and this is' Ghostcat '. Together with Li Yao and me, it shouldn't be a problem for us to escort Zhang Daniu, right?"
Gray Mist introduced the other Awakened to Li Yao.
