“Country destroying level …”
These three words dealt a heavy blow to Lu Xin’s heart.
Lu Xin was no longer a newbie in the special pollution cleaning industry, so he naturally knew the division.
Generally speaking, aptitude users who helped deal with sudden special pollution in the high-wall city would usually be exposed to pollution incidents of Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, and Level 4 at most, which generally corresponded to the level of the ability user’s DCBA.
However, just like an ability user’s ability, once they reached s-rank, they would suddenly become unpredictable. The same was true for special contamination.
S-rank ability users represented the unknown.
A special contamination that exceeded level four often meant that the threat level could not be calculated and could not be reflected in data.
Therefore, a few bloody words came out.
City-level.
Country-destroying level.
These few definitions of levels all had an intuitive and heavy concept.
The city-slaughtering level was a special pollution that could develop freely and engulf the entire high-wall city in a short time.
A country-destroying level referred to a special contamination that could destroy a country.
Of course, this type of special contamination didn’t necessarily mean that the power of the contamination source was strong enough to destroy a city or a country in one go. Special contamination was special contamination, and there were many complicated and diverse ways to manifest it.
For example, the city massacre level could mean that a type of pollution suddenly erupted, enough to destroy a city, and could not be stopped. It could also mean that a mysterious contamination was spreading, and no one knew how to stop it.
The methods were different, but the threat was the same, so the level was the same.
Lu Xin was taken aback by the definition of ” nation-destroying level “, and a sense of doubt welled up in his heart.
A country was a concept. Even in the old civilization, the size of a country varied.
Therefore, a country-destroying level often referred to a disaster that had endless potential to spread and could not be planned at all.
This was a level that military forces could not resist.
What kind of pollution did the maritime country encounter to be defined by qingang in such a way?
“There’s Xiangxi’s information at the back. Mr. Shan Bing, you can take a look. ”
Han Bing explained in a soft voice, ” because the security of this experiment is very important. Mr. Shan Bing is the biggest guarantee. So, the process of the experiment and the information of the experimental targets we are about to face are all here for your reference.
Lu Xin nodded lightly and flipped to the top page, reading the information below.
[ special pollution incident of the maritime Kingdom: curse of the merfolk ]
[ threat: nation-destroying level ]
L mission description: rms pollution Incident nappened before tne s-rank ability users from the maritime country attacked qingang. ] As Qing gang was attacked by the maritime countries, Qing gang sent an advance party to fight back. When the advance party arrived at the maritime country, they found that there had been a major pollution incident. Except for women, children, the old, and the weak, all the men between the ages of 18 and 45 had fallen into madness and even showed various signs of mutation.
[ note: the contaminated population is all men between the ages of 18 and 55 in the maritime country. ]
“You mean all?”
Lu Xin was already surprised by the quest description.
This kind of pollution, was it uncomfortable to not be limited by the area and the number of people?
He continued to flip to the back and saw another report. This was probably the report brought back by the first group of people who had contact with the maritime Kingdom. It mentioned that when they had just arrived in the maritime Kingdom, the other party had drawn a clear line with the old captain and told him everything truthfully. The maritime Kingdom was under a special curse.
Singing.
The earliest record of this incident was three years ago. A man from a maritime country began to hear a strange song.
The voice came from the vast ocean. According to the investigation of those who heard the voice, there was no specific tone or even a fixed pitch. It was just a gentle and low moan of a woman’s voice, but it had the most beautiful tone in the world.
Hearing this kind of singing would make people happy and energetic.
Therefore, many people in the maritime Kingdom at that time thought that this was a gift from God and regarded it as one of the countless wonderful legends of the sea. However, as time passed, this gift had a strange side to it. The men who heard the song would be excited at first and show an extraordinary mental state, but after the excitement, they would periodically fall into emptiness and numbness.
As he repeated this, he sank deeper and deeper.
They forgot to work and gradually lost their reaction to external stimuli. All they could do was wait for the song to come.
The flagship command team of the maritime Kingdom was not careless. They had sent an investigation team the moment the song appeared. However, the results proved that neither the spiritual detection instruments nor the most sensitive sound detection instruments detected the existence of the song. In other words, the song was probably just an illusion of the men and appeared in their minds.
It was normal to have auditory hallucinations at sea, but it was strange for many people to have auditory hallucinations at the same time.
What was even more terrifying was that this phenomenon was rapidly spreading. The flagship command group of the maritime Kingdom had carried out several operations, either isolating the men who had auditory hallucinations, counseling them, or directly torturing and interrogating them.
However, it was of no use. More and more people heard the song, and it almost spread to the entire maritime country.
The old captain of the maritime Kingdom even sent an S-Class ability user to make an announcement. However, after. series of investigations, the depressed ability user pessimistically said that he had no idea where the singing came from and how to solve it. On the other hand, even he himself had heard the singing, but the pollution caused by the singing was relatively small …
As a result, the maritime Kingdom fell into complete despair.
All the men between the ages of 18 and 55 in this country were losing all their labor power.
They seemed to see a giant weakening and falling down bit by bit, but there was nothing they could do.
Because this kind of ethereal singing was very similar to the sound made by the legendary mermaids when they seduced the sailors on the sea.
Therefore, this kind of contamination was called the ” mermaid’s curse.
They were unable to solve this problem on their own, and they did not dare to ask for help from the outside.
First, he thought that such a large area of terrible pollution would alert the other high-wall cities.
Second, this kind of fatal pollution to a country also meant that the country was completely losing its vitality.
Even if the high-wall city was willing to lend a helping hand, the maritime country would probably be swallowed up after the treatment.
In this desperate situation, the old captain of the maritime country gathered the last of his strength and made preparations to attack qingang.
If the attack was successful, the maritime country would enter qingang and use its technological power to solve the pollution.
At the very least, he could keep the maritime countries far away from the sea. Perhaps the pollution would disappear if they were far away from the sea?
After the failure of the attack, the mess of the maritime country was handed over to qingang. The old captain was also relieved.
After all, he had carefully selected qingang.
It had been a long time since the attack on the maritime Kingdom.
It was only now that Lu Xin finally understood the whole story behind the attack.
He was slightly surprised,’so they’ve encountered such a big problem, then
What’s the situation like now?”
Han Bing said, ” after the attack, qingang has begun to accept and investigate the maritime countries. Those who have been confirmed to have not been contaminated have been taken out and placed in a temporary satellite city built Southeast of the main city.
Lu Xin only remembered after hearing her words.
After going back and forth between the main city and satellite city No. 2 a few times, he also saw a huge base being built.
He didn’t expect it to be used to accommodate the elderly, women, and children of the maritime countries.
At first, he thought it was used to grow vegetables …
as for the contaminated men in the maritime country, we can’t do anything to them now …
after all, the pollution they have been through is too deep and too mysterious, ” han Bing continued. it’s impossible for qinggang to risk getting involved by letting them come into contact with the people of qinggang. Therefore, even for the investigation, professor Bai led a team of experts to the maritime country to carry out the investigation. This was the reason why professor Bai came back late in our previous confrontation with the church of technology.”
“What?”
Lu Xin was taken aback. professor Bai even dared to go to such a dangerous place. He’s really amazing …
“The investigation team is mainly made up of women, and professor Bai is already 56 years old …”
“That’s why he thinks he’s still safe,” han Bing explained.
Lu Xin didn’t know how to answer. What if the investigation report left behind by the maritime Kingdom was not accurate?
However, when he thought of professor Bai t s level and caution, he felt that he didn’t need to worry about him.
“What’s the result of the investigation?” he asked seriously.
it’s roughly the same as the investigation report left by the maritime country
Han Bing replied seriously,”the situation in the maritime Kingdom is already very grim. It can be confirmed that there is a terrible pollution.” However, even the team of experts led by professor Bai didn’t detect any obvious abnormalities. The only thing we can confirm now is that the singing doesn’t exist in reality, and there are no mermaids, other magical creatures, or contamination sources in the surrounding sea . . . ” that kind of singing only exists in the minds of men from the sea country …
through experiments on some of them, no matter how far away they were from the sea, how they were appeased by professional psychologists, or even how they cut out their memories at certain stages, they were unable to completely erase the singing in their minds.
that’s why professor Bai thought of combining the first stage of the heavenly State Project with the cleaning of the pollution in the maritime countries. only the strongest will in a certain domain can directly erase these songs.
“Only by using the power of a spirit Lord and setting up a firewall in their minds can we resist this invisible corruption.”
At this point, han Bing raised her head and looked at Lu Xin seriously. “In other words, Mr. Shan Bing . . . n our experiment is the last hope of the maritime Kingdom.
Lu Xin slowly nodded his head.
To be able to force a country to such a degree of pollution, it did sound very terrible ….
