The road section on the old street has been blocked. Many traffic police and police have arrived. There are special people to communicate with witnesses and sign confidentiality agreements. Everything seen tonight cannot be disseminated to the outside world. All photos and videos must be deleted and are not allowed to appear on social networking sites.
One of the videos was preserved by the staff, which was the video of Lin Jiu fighting with a harpoon.
The staff called all the enhanced people present to watch the video. After watching it, they were full of questions. What was the situation with Lin Jiu's harpoon? How could he come and go so freely
Lu Yu looked at Bai Zhixing.
Bai Zhixing: "I am sure that his greatest ability is his voice. Old Zang is the best example."
Bai Zhixing and Zang Ye were a team. Zang Ye hadn't recovered from Lin Jiu's ability yet and was temporarily unable to carry out the mission. Bai Zhixing came with the team alone.
Lu Yu glanced at Lin Jiu and Si Xu who were sitting on the roadside and talking. Si Xu was holding a wine jug in his hand.
Lu Yu walked over and asked, "Are you not hurt?"
Si Xu's face hadn't recovered yet. "Did you come here on foot?"
Lu Yu: “…”
Lu Yu coughed dryly, "It's too congested during the evening rush hour."
Even with the police cars clearing the way, vehicles had to move slowly to give way. This time period was really terrible.
Si Xu: "I thought you were afraid of fighting and were late on purpose."
Lu Yu: “…”
Si Xu choked and said, "What's going on? What is this?"
"The information we have received so far is that a boss bought a large, odd-looking marine fish from a fisherman. He didn't know if it was delicious, so he bought it to try it. The fisherman sent it to him in a small truck, packed it with seawater and oxygen, fearing that the big fish would die on the road and become worthless. He drove for more than seven hours and finally arrived here. He opened the door and this thing came out."
Si Xu frowned, "So it doesn't look like this?"
"The fisherman was so scared that he couldn't speak clearly. He kept repeating that what he sent was fish, not this thing." Lu Yu took out a cigarette box and handed a cigarette to Si Xu. After handing it over, he remembered, "Forget it, you'd better not smoke. You are so sick, it's important to take care of your health."
Si Xu: “…”
He glanced at Lin Jiu beside him. Lin Jiu didn't react much, and Si Xu suddenly wanted to have one too.
Lu Yu handed it to Lin Jiu again, "Boss Lin, would you like one?"
Lin Jiu shook his head, "I don't smoke."
Lu Yu lit one and smoked it slowly, "Boss Lin is quite skilled in using the harpoon."
Lin Jiu glanced at him and said nothing.
"It's a pity that you don't join our department. Do you want to reconsider it?" Lu Yu tried to lobby.
"Not considering it." Lin Jiu refused.
Lu Yu sighed helplessly, and after a while he said, "This kind of thing should become quite common in the future."
Lin Jiu and Si Xu both looked at Lu Yu, waiting for him to come down.
"The coastal cities have been in turmoil recently. We are still okay here, but the situation abroad is more serious. There have been a series of missing persons cases, some missing at sea, some missing at the beach. Investigators have been stationed at the beach and have taken some photos..."
"What photo?" Lin Jiu was more interested in the sea, and also in the anomalies in the sea.
Lu Yu pointed at the dead monster and said, "It's just like this. A strange fish in the sea rushed to the beach, but failed to catch any prey, so it went back into the sea. Those missing people are basically dead."
Lin Jiu: “…”
Lin Jiu was silent for a long time before he asked, "Have you been eating sea fish recently?"
Lu Yu: "I haven't eaten fish for almost half a month. I don't eat sea fish or freshwater fish."
You never know which fish has eaten people. I know too much about the truth and I really can't eat it.
Si Xu said: "What happened in the sea? Can you tell me?"
Lu Yu glanced at Lin Jiu and said, "You can tell the insiders."
Outsider Lin Jiu: “…”
Lin Jiu: "Business has been bad recently. We have no ingredients or wine."
Lu Yu: “…”
Lu Yu: "You signed a confidentiality agreement, and you are a rapist, you should know the severity of the situation, you can listen to it."
Lin Jiu was satisfied.
Lu Yu considered his words carefully, "Some time ago, an offshore survey company discovered a mysterious underwater palace. After careful survey, they found that the palace was sealed. The survey company was very excited and wanted to open the palace door to see what was inside. In the end, they tried various methods but couldn't open it."
"The surveyors had been working at sea for a while, and the surveying company suddenly announced that they wanted to sell the discovery and the palace. The countries that received the news sent people over. When they arrived, they found out why the surveying company sold the palace. Their surveyors fell ill and died one after another. By the time the palace was sold, several people had died, and several were in the late stages of serious illness..."
Lu Yu took a deep puff of smoke and slowly exhaled. "Seeing this phenomenon, the major forces were both excited and fearful. They immediately asked ordinary people to leave that sea area and only left those with abilities..."
"Is it radiation?" Si Xu had a vague guess.
Lin Jiu frowned, he thought of what Si Xu had mentioned about "unknown energy radiation".
Lu Yu took two puffs of his cigarette in silence before saying, "It's radiation. The survey company has realized the seriousness of this problem. There is a strange energy leak, and this energy is very unfriendly and deadly. They have detected a large amount of radiation energy leaking, which is too deadly in the sea. They dare not think about what will happen if a large number of marine life are extinct. Even if there is no extinction, it is also a very terrifying thing to cause mutations in marine species. These are not problems that a survey company can solve, so several countries have come to find a way to solve this matter."
Lin Jiu suddenly understood what the system meant when it said "intelligent life forms love self-destruction the most."
Lin Jiu frowned deeply. From the system's attitude, he vaguely realized that things might be more serious than humans imagined. Look how well this matter was kept secret, and there was no news from the outside world. Many people still thought that the world was scientific and peaceful. They didn't realize the danger and couldn't control their own behavior.
Lu Yu said to Si Xu: "You should understand the importance of unknown energy to a country. Without unknown energy, there would be no enhanced people, superpowers, and super soldiers. So knowing that there is unknown energy in the palace under the sea, no force can remain indifferent."
Si Xu felt that things would definitely develop in a worse direction.
Of course, Lu Yu continued: "After several major forces discussed, they sent their own ability users to explore the underwater palace. What they could find depended on their own strength. Several major forces joined forces and finally blasted open the stone door of the palace. A group of ability users entered. They saw the unknown energy crystals that all countries dreamed of. It was said that there were so many of them. They scrambled for them frantically, all wanting to grab more unknown energy crystals for their own forces. The result of the fierce competition was a fight..."
"After so many years of research, we all know that this kind of unknown energy crystal is very stable and generally won't have any problems. However, the unknown energy crystal in the palace had a problem. The crystal exploded. Countless unknown energy crystals exploded! Exploded! Exploded! Exploded! None of the people with special abilities in the palace survived. Those who had already come out were affected by the explosion vortex. Some were missing, some were seriously injured, and some could not withstand the energy radiation value at that moment and exploded on the spot..."
Lin Jiu was not quite sure what the unknown energy radiation was like, but Si Xu knew it. He had been in the radiation and had seen the tragic situation of the city with his own eyes. This unknown energy was very dangerous!
Si Xu said: "What is the radiation level in the training room? How many crystals are there?"
Lu Yu put out his cigarette butt, "One, we only have one in total."
Si Xu has realized the extent of the radiation pollution in the ocean - it's unimaginable!
Lu Yu paused, then added, "Don't think it's too little. There are only a few in the world now. We are able to get one, which should make our neighbors envious."
Si Xu nodded, "Are there any casualties among our people?"
Speaking of this, Lu Yu wanted to laugh. "The enhanced people we sent to protect the participants are Zang Ye and Bai Zhixing. One of them is a bear and the other is a human. Who do you think has abilities suitable for use in the sea?"
Si Xu raised an eyebrow, "So?"
"So our minister decided to wait and see what happens and not get involved. The purpose of sending Zang Ye and Bai Zhixing was to protect the safety of the participants. When they went there, no one expected that they would have to rob things. We thought it was a problem that could be solved with money, but in the end we still have to rely on force. We don't have many enhanced people, and each one is very valuable. We can't compare with those big forces that send out more than a dozen superpowers at any time. We can compete in terms of money, but we can't afford to compete in terms of numbers of strength for the time being."
Fortunately, they couldn't afford the consumption, and those who could afford it all died in the sea. Lu Yu marveled at the minister's wisdom and bravery countless times.
While they were talking, the strange things on the other side had been loaded onto a truck, and a sprinkler truck was cleaning the ground. After they left, there would be no trace left here, and the witnesses would not mention it to the outside world. They would keep tonight's events to themselves and strive to maintain the most superficial peace in the scientific world.
Lin Jiu couldn't wait to go home to take a shower and change clothes. When Lu Yu and the others left, Lin Jiu couldn't help but say a few more words.
"Captain Lu, are there any resettlement plans for coastal cities?"
Lu Yu said: "We are far away from the dangerous waters. We haven't reached that stage yet. Now we only have a sea ban."
Lin Jiu: "If things really come to that, it may be too late to resettle them, so we should make plans early."
Lu Yu felt that what Lin Jiu said was too simple. Unless it was a matter of life and death, how could the coastal cities be moved casually
"Okay, you've worked hard tonight. Si Xu can apply for reimbursement of your wine expenses."
Si Xu: “No need.”
Lin Jiu knew that Lu Yu didn't listen, "The marine life has mutated. It's only a matter of time before they come ashore."
As they were about to leave, Lu Yu and his crew members stopped. They were all insiders and were basically the ones doing the post-processing work.
The possibility of marine life coming ashore is currently just speculation, and no one can be sure that this will happen. Even if marine life is photographed running onto the beach abroad, they will just go around and return to the sea. They still cannot leave the ocean.
Of course, if this monster tonight really came from the sea, it might confirm this speculation.
Lin Jiu said: "The seawater is already polluted. It is affecting marine life now. Will it affect humans in the future?"
Lu Yu said seriously: "So far, no impact on humans has been found."
Lin Jiu spread his hands, "Just like you didn't realize that the crystals would explode, but they still exploded."
Lu Yu: “…”
Lu Yu stared at Lin Jiu, his expression becoming more and more serious, "Do you have any basis for this?"
Lin Jiu: “No.”
Lu Yu: "Then how should I report it? Just based on your guesses?"
Lin Jiu thought for a moment, "Is it okay if I'm the best at catching seafood?"
Lu Yu: "The sea ban is in effect now, and seafood may be banned soon. Sell all the seafood you have as soon as possible."
Lin Jiu: “…”
Damn! If seafood is banned, won’t his restaurant be closed?!
Lin Jiu had to say everything he needed to say. Whether they listened or not was their business. Lin Jiu was in no position to do anything.
Lin Jiu's patience has reached its limit. He wants to close the shop immediately and go home to take a shower and change clothes. He can't even enter the shop now because he is afraid of stink up the whole shop. How can he eat in the shop then
Si Xu saw that he was in such a dilemma, "Can you trust me?"
"Of course." Lin Jiu didn't even think about it.
"Since you trust me, you can go back first. I'll wait until all the customers leave and then close the shop and lock the door for you."
Lin Jiu thought this suggestion was very good, so he handed the store over to Si Xu and rode his bike home. Before leaving, he reminded Si Xu to finish his dinner and not to waste it, and also put his dinner in the refrigerator for tomorrow.
He couldn't afford to lose any more magic points for wasting food, as he was already on the brink of death.
That night, the customers who were watching the sci-fi scene but could not speak, felt uncomfortable and all of them posted their emotions and dynamics at the same time:
The world view is collapsing and being reshaped...
When asked the reason, there was no follow-up.
