The people of Sea Return City realized that something was amiss in the past few days. The dimensional zones on land were fine, but they couldn't find any dimensional creatures in the dimensional zones in the sea.
All the dimensional creatures in the sea seemed to vanish.
Sea God Reef, Undersea Blue Hole, Infinite Island, and other places were empty. There was almost no sign of dimensional creatures.
The Hui family contacted all the families in Sea Return City to discuss countermeasures. As for the Feng family, they were also vexed over Feng Qiuyan and Qin Ling's disappearance. They had already sent people to search everywhere, but they couldn't find their whereabouts.
"The situation in the Seven Dragons Sea is very strange now. All the dimensional creatures have vanished. Everyone, tell me, what does this mean?" Old Master Hui swept his gaze across the core members of the various families.
"The disappearance of the dimensional creatures is a good thing for us. We don't rely on the dimensional zones in the sea to begin with. All we need to do is guard the dimensional zones and mineral deposits ashore," said a family head with the surname Liu.
"That's true, but I'm afraid that the dimensional creatures in the sea will cause trouble again," said an elder from the Feng family.
"What can happen? After all, they are dimensional creatures in the sea. Only a small number of them have the ability to fight out of the sea. Most of them will have their combat strength greatly reduced once they get ashore. They won't pose any danger to us. "Family Head Liu paused before saying," Besides, aren't we already prepared? Even if Sea Return City really can't be defended, we can retreat into the dimensional zones on land. Everyone has been operating there for a long time. It shouldn't be a problem, right? "
"Brother Liu is right. After all, those things are from the sea. At most, they will just circle around and leave. It's not like they can grow legs to fight for territory with us." Another family head said. "That's right.
Everyone immediately began talking. Most people felt that they should stay and continue watching. Even if something really happened, it wouldn't be too late to retreat.
"I think we should evacuate immediately." A different voice sounded. Everyone looked at the person who spoke and saw that the person who spoke was a young man in his twenties. Most people knew that he was Hui Haifeng from the Hui family.
"Young Master Feng, what do you mean?" Family Head Liu asked Hui Haifeng.
Hui Haifeng took out a small bottle and held it in his hand so that everyone could see what was inside.
The bottle wasn't big, about the size of a mineral water bottle. It was also filled with water, but there was something that looked like a mushroom in the water. It was the same as the test subjects he had shown Zhou Wen.
However, that thing was supposed to be white, but now it was glowing with a pale gold color. It looked very strange.
"What is this?" Old Master Hui looked at Hui Haifeng and asked.
He knew that Hui Haifeng was doing research, and he also supported Hui Haifeng, but he never thought that Hui Haifeng would really be able to research something.
"Grandpa, this is a sample of the fungi that I extracted from the marine plants and cultivated. Originally, it would take at least a year for these fungi to evolve from spores to what they are now. However, I just began nurturing this test subject this morning, but it has already evolved to such a level. Something terrible must have happened in the Seven Dragons Sea. It's very likely that the dimensional creatures in the sea will undergo a large-scale evolution, so we have to evacuate immediately, "Hui Haifeng said seriously.
"Young Master Feng, aren't your words a little too arbitrary? Perhaps your experiments have gone wrong, or perhaps it's just an isolated phenomenon. It doesn't necessarily mean anything. Perhaps you need more experiments," Liu Family Head said disapprovingly. He wasn't particularly interested in the so-called scientific research. "Young Master Feng, your words are a little too arbitrary.
He even felt that scientific research was useless in this era. It was the era of God, and science was no longer useful.
There were many people who thought like Family Head Liu. Furthermore, most people were unwilling to abandon Sea Return City and the mineral deposits that they had been operating for so many years and evacuate.
After all, Hui Haifeng was only making a deduction. No one knew if his deduction would come true.
Even if it came true, it wouldn't be too late to leave when they really couldn't stop the dimensional creatures. They still had the dimensional zones they operated on land as a retreat.
"Everyone, you might not know what this evolution speed means. Let me give you an analogy. According to this evolution speed, if an ordinary rat were to be injected with this element, it would only take three days. In three days, it would evolve to the body and strength of an elephant. If the creatures in the sea have such an evolution speed, do you still have the confidence to safely evacuate under their attacks? Do you still have the confidence to defend the dimensional zones? "Hui Haifeng said.
"Young Master Feng, this is only your deduction after all. You can't just rely on your deduction to make us leave our homes, right?" Family Head Liu pondered for a moment and said, "Why don't we do this? We'll send some people with strong abilities in the water to investigate what happened in the sea. If it's really as you said, it won't be too late for everyone to leave."
"Yes, yes. Family Head Liu makes sense. Let's investigate it first." Many people supported Family Head Liu's suggestion.
In the end, Hui Haifeng failed to persuade them. After all, Sea Return City wasn't something Hui Haifeng's family had the final say. Furthermore, even within the Hui family, many people felt that Hui Haifeng was being too alarmist.
In fact, many members of the Hui family disapproved of Hui Haifeng's research.
If it wasn't for the fact that Hui Haifeng paid for his research himself, they definitely wouldn't have let him do so much.
After the meeting ended, Li Xuan, who was waiting outside, asked Hui Haifeng, "How was it?"
Hui Haifeng shook his head and said, "It's useless. They have already been blinded by interest and comfort. They won't believe it unless they see the apocalypse with their own eyes."
Li Xuan said gloomily, "Then what should we do? Old Zhou and Little Yanyan are missing. Something big is definitely going to happen. "
"Let's return to the lab first. I need to make some preparations. I have to move the important things out first. We can't stay here." Hui Haifeng quickly rushed to the lab. He knew that he didn't have much time left.
Li Xuan brought Ya 'er and followed Hui Haifeng back to make preparations.
At the same time, Sea Return City sent some humans with underwater abilities to enter the Seven Dragons Sea to investigate the disappearance of the dimensional creatures.
"What's there to investigate? Isn't that unnecessary? It's better that the dimensional creatures in the sea are gone. It saves us the trouble of coming ashore to harass us every once in a while, "a middle-aged man said.
"It's all because of that young master Hui Haifeng. He said that there will be a huge anomaly in the sea. It's not like we haven't seen it before. What's there to make a fuss about? He even said that he wants us to move away from Sea Return. I think he's been reading too much and has turned his brain silly. What famous university? He doesn't know what he's talking about …"
The others laughed. They felt that a young master like Hui Haifeng only knew how to give orders blindly.
"What's that?" Suddenly, someone realized that there seemed to be something in the seawater in front of them.
"A sea snake? That's not right. Why does it look like it has claws? Furthermore, the color isn't right. A sea snake should be blue. This one looks blue with a hint of gold … "
"It's just a sea snake. Just kill it and bring it back for research."
Just as they were about to move, they suddenly saw the strange sea snake rush out. Its speed was much faster than the average sea snake. Before one of them could react, he was bitten by the sea snake.
