A few seconds later, the command center contacted Yuan Mu and said that there was a problem in the area the operation team was in. The observer lady said, "According to the blueprints, the nearby walls are made of special materials such as electromagnetic shielding cement, which limits the electromagnetic activity in the relevant area. If we go deeper, communication might be blocked, and EMP-type electromagnetic weapons will also be restricted."
Yuan Mu and Spot of Light looked at each other. In the dimming light, they could barely see each other's cold metal visors.
In such an environment, Yuan Mu subconsciously pressed on the communication module, trying to use external force to make the conversation smoother. "Listen, I've worked with conductive cement before. This thing is really useful, but it's not a material that completely absorbs. It should reflect and refract, do you understand? "
"Uh …"
"The problem now is that we can't 'see' anything, even if we use night vision equipment. Including your conclusion, visible light, infrared, and perhaps a wider range of electromagnetic waves are all lacking in our area. Otherwise, this wouldn't have happened! "
Under normal circumstances, the environment that humans lived in should be a pot of boiling soup where radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays of different frequencies, wavelengths, and energy levels were intertwined and stirred. Some had more, some had less, and when they met with matter, they would pass through, refract, or be absorbed.
Humans were bombarded by electromagnetic waves all the time, and had already adapted and actively used this environment as an important way of perceiving the world. And now, the situation that the Deep Blue Team, Forest and Fluorescence were facing was that the closer they got to the reactor, the thinner the electromagnetic waves became, to the point that some layers had even formed a continuous void. This was not a natural phenomenon, nor was it a reasonable interference phenomenon.
"A monster that swallows electricity."
Spot of Light was not in the mood for a long explanation, and only emphasized the key words before turning to the only person in the team who was psychic. "Oak, give an answer, even a guess is fine."
Oak had been trying to do a more detailed exploration of the surrounding environment, and the formatted space had given him a lot of support. At least, he could reach from the abyss to the electromagnetic environment on the material plane. This was a shocking breadth, but it was not easy to get a clear answer.
He was silent for more than ten seconds, and then suddenly went against the tactical order, and turned on the headlamp on his helmet. The blinding light tore through the darkness and headed straight for the end of the tunnel. Fortunately, the sensitivity of the instrument was extremely high, and the parameters were automatically adjusted, so the tragedy of a group of people suddenly became real blind was avoided.
"Oak!"
As soon as Yuan Mu's rebuke was heard, the sudden increase in the brightness of the outside world decreased at a visible rate. In the eyes of the members of the operation team, the darkness was like a virus that spread wantonly, killing every single photon in the air. It even swarmed to the light source on Oak's forehead, and after a few breaths, there was only a faint cold light coming from there, and it was quickly dimming.
Under the dim light, everyone was silent.
Oak then said, "Electromagnetic waves are matter and also energy. Energy and matter will not disappear into thin air. "
Rather than saying that it was an answer or a guess, it was more like a rule, a rule of the normal world. This rule was very strict. Even if it seemed to be on the verge of collapse under the impact of extraordinary powers, it could still limit the change of all things in the world.
If the actual situation seemed to deviate from it, then the basic direction was clear. And Oak's experiment showed that the actual situation was much more violent and intense than previously imagined.
The two captains looked at each other again, and simultaneously thought of a significant change on another level.
"Abyssal storm?"
Yuan Mu stated his basic guess, and Spot had the courage to show his imagination. "That is to say, this is probably a reverse interference. The electricity that leaked out, including most of the electromagnetic waves in this area, was transferred to the abyssal area through a certain channel, forming that storm … The monster that swallowed electricity doesn't exist, or rather, its' stomach 'is in the abyssal area. "
Yuan Mu frowned. "Why?"
"Do we need him to show us the relevant paper?"
Spot directly turned off the night vision goggles. It was meaningless to turn on the equipment in such an environment. He would rather believe in the well-tempered Format of Fire and the Formatted Space built on that foundation.
Yuan Mu soon realized that it was pointless to get to the bottom of it. The spreading darkness was just a 'by-product', a hole formed by stripping the ubiquitous electromagnetic waves from the side of the body.
The truly terrifying enemy was still in the depths of the darkness.
So, he quickly ordered, "Switch to pure sensory mode. Oak, activate sensory sharing. 'Fortress' detection module will be activated in ten seconds."
After giving the order, Yuan Mu thought of Oak's previous extreme behavior, which was obviously different from usual. He also knew that as a psychic, Oak was under more pressure than the others. After hesitating for a moment, he asked in private.
"Can you hold on?"
Oak did not directly respond, but simply carried out the order. Soon, the "eyes" of the team members lit up again, and the sensory results were reconstructed according to the information integration mode they were used to, temporarily freeing them from the predicament of being "blind".
But with the corresponding increase in consumption, their resistance to psychic attacks would also decrease. There was a high chance that when facing a psychic enemy, they would have to cut themselves. That was a compromise to reality.
No commander would be willing to make such a decision. Yuan Mu could only try to calm himself down and re-examine the situation in the Formatted Space.
At that moment, one of the team members finally couldn't take it anymore and spoke in the tactical channel. "If we're also a source of radiation, does that mean we're being absorbed too?"
The silence persisted for about five seconds. Spot chuckled. "Perhaps. Right now, we've already entered a certain gentleman's domain. A person who can control light … How should I express this? Electromagnetic domain? Lightrider? "
The exoskeleton armor's communication module issued a warning as soon as he finished speaking, indicating that communication with the outside world had been seriously affected. In the next second, the two teams' communication with the airship's command center was cut off.
Yuan Mu was just about to try to rouse the team's morale when he heard Oak's muffled groan. Then came a pure and direct attack from the psychic plane. The erected sensory network immediately collapsed. Fifteen Deep Blue Walkers were suddenly thrown onto the isolated island. What greeted them was a wave of stifling darkness.
