Starting from the recovery of Shanhaijing

Chapter 287 Lighting
Sky Surveyor, photometry room.

In order to detect the movement of dark disasters, each flying dragon boat will be specially equipped with a special fully enclosed room.

The area does not need to be too large, a dozen square meters is enough.

The layout inside is also simple.

A set of tables and chairs, and a light source sensing device.

Whenever there are signs of a dark disaster coming from the outside world, Dragon Boat will send people into this room in advance.

This time is no exception.

呲~呲~
The communicator on the table made a sound, and after it was connected, Shen Qiong's voice came from inside,
"I'm Shen Qiong, what's the situation now?"

In the darkness, a face wrapped in a black cloth, leaving only the eye sockets framed by special sunglasses.

In front of him is a light source sensing device, which looks a bit like a kerosene lamp, but the wick projects five colors of light, from the outside to the inside are 'red, orange, yellow, green and blue', which looks like a rainbow color.

Each spectrum has a specific length, and there is a corresponding scale at the bottom of the device. The observer judges the current situation of the dark disaster through the change of the scale.

This is why there is a fully enclosed room.

It must be ensured that there will be no interference from external light sources, so that the light source sensing device will not be affected.

The observer moves closer to the light source sensing device, keeps his line of sight at the same level as the scale, picks up the communicator to report,
"Report to the captain, the current light sensor data is normal and has not appeared"

Before the words fell, the observer's body shook.

The red spectrum in the outermost circle of the light suddenly dimmed, and then the orange spectrum also went out, as if cut off by some strange force.

The pupils under the sunglasses trembled, and the sudden change made the observer's voice unavoidably intermittent, and he hurriedly shouted,
"Wait, captain, the light source has begun to shorten, and the unprecedented dissipation speed, the dark disaster is coming!"

".I've seen it. Immediately sounded the alarm, and the whole ship entered the first-level alert. I immediately led the team to support."

There were also vaguely noisy voices from the other side of the communicator, and after a brief silence, Shen Qiong gave an order.

After hanging up the communicator, the observer stood up abruptly, ignoring the fact that he fell to the ground with the chair under his buttocks, ran to the door in three steps at a time, grabbed the door handle with one hand, and patted the alarm device next to the door with the other.

A harsh buzzing sound came from outside the door immediately.

The Observer took a deep breath and opened the door.

The oncoming storm made him take half a step back, but even so, he still managed to open his eyes wide.

The light source sensing device is extremely sensitive, and often after it detects the arrival of a dark disaster, the external environment has not responded or the mutation has just occurred.

But this time, the situation has changed.

Under the light outside the photometry room, the flesh on both sides of the observer's cheeks trembled, and his horrified eyes cast their eyes on the sky above the Sky Surveyor.

The thick and gloomy clouds and mist churned up like a raging sea tide at some point, and the wind and rain all over the sky made the environment darker and darker.

They should have been formless and formless at this moment, but now they have condensed into an amorphous sticky mass, moving forward like a chaotic monster hidden inside, rolling towards the Xuntian, even though the two are still separated by hundreds of meters , still frightening.

Snapped!
With a slap on his face, the observer gritted his teeth, put on his hood, and went straight to the defensive position at the front of the deck.

While he was running, many heavily armed combatants rushed out from inside and outside the city tower.

The defensive devices on the sides of the ship were activated one after another.

They are the first line of defense outside the lighthouse and the forefront of fighting against dark disasters.

At this critical moment, any hesitation and fear are a waste of time. They must stand up, figure out the weird characteristics of this hidden disaster, and buy time for the second line of defense and the lighthouse.

The combat troops on the floating island have also received the news at this time.

They also noticed the changes in the environment.

"We don't have enough time to prepare, the second line of defense has not yet been built, and the magic circle on the lighthouse dome is still in the process of repairing, we must buy as much time as possible!"

Shen Qiong and Xue Li led their respective elite teams to gather under the lighthouse and report the current situation to Yan Jing.

"You go back to Xuntian and Jinglei respectively, and take charge of the first line of defense. I will be in charge here!"

Now is not the time to be entangled, Yan Jing looked at the clouds and mist that were attacking this way outside the floating island, he could feel the extremely rich chaotic energy in it, and needless to say, he knew that there were a lot of chaotic monsters hidden inside.

The dark disaster came sooner than expected.

Although Yan Jing didn't have to worry about not being able to keep up with the hidden disasters from now on, but the timing right now is obviously not very suitable.

He had to ensure that the magic circle on the dome of the lighthouse would not be destroyed before it was repaired, and the boat people inside the lighthouse also needed his protection, so the outermost line of defense could only be handed over to the two guard captains in front of him.

"Remember, your task is not to defend to the death, but to delay the progress of the Chaos monsters. I only have one request. Once you find that something cannot be done, you should withdraw immediately, and you are not allowed to stay behind without authorization!"

Even the remaining two bottles of potions were sent out, Yan Jing didn't want Shen Qiong and Xue Li to sacrifice so hastily on the outer line of defense.

"My lord, don't worry, we will keep you informed of the situation on the front line."

After the words fell, Shen Qiong didn't stay any longer, turned around and gestured to the assembled combat team, and rushed towards the location of the Sky Surveyor, followed closely by Shirley.

Yan Jing stood under the lighthouse, looking at the direction in which the two left.

Although the maintenance personnel had installed a light strip between the lighthouse and the flying dragon boat to indicate the direction an hour ago, at this time, with the advent of the dark disaster, the ordinary light was suppressed more and more seriously.

In fact, not only the light band, but also the lighting range of the lamp posts standing outside the lighthouse is constantly shrinking.

Such an unreasonable phenomenon makes people frown, as if there is an ubiquitous chaotic monster that is stealing the light of the Shenzhou world, trying to fill every corner with darkness.

The two reinforcements only ran more than ten meters away, and the figures of the team members including Shen Qiong and Xue Li gradually became blurred.

Returning to the corridor outside the lighthouse fortress, Yan Jing glanced at the time.

It's five o'clock in the evening.

Less than 10 minutes.

In the entire floating island, only the area where the lighthouse is located is still somewhat bright, and the periphery has been completely shrouded in darkness, and Yan Jing can't even see the churning clouds.

Some are just the deepest darkness. If you look at it for a long time, you will find that these darkness seem to have been given life by the erosion of chaotic energy, wriggling and surrounding, eagerly targeting the lighthouse.

The storm intensified again.

Even Yan Jing, who has been at sea for many years, has never seen such severe weather.

The rainfall can even be said to have broken through a certain limit, and the rain curtains are connected into pieces.

Like a waterfall pouring down from the sky.
