He became part of the herd and walked into the ocean under the watchful eyes of the two drakes.

67. A group of sea creatures walked ashore

"Ah... don't go!"

Feng Qingyu tried to stop the old servant, but was a step too late.

After becoming Haisi, Cyril lost the last bit of his human consciousness. He completely accepted the call and will of the horde, abandoned the thought of surviving in the human world, and had no attachment to the land of Terra.

He let out a whimpering sound like crying, and his body turned into Haisi, losing the weakness of an old man. Even Feng Qingyu could not catch up with his speed. He could only watch him jump into the dark sea, creating waves, and then turned into an illusory black shadow and disappeared without a trace.

Apart from a faint fishy and salty smell lingering on the shore and a few sparks from a cigarette butt on the sand, Cyril left no trace of his existence in the world.

The sea took him away, wiping out his existence completely.

Before they had time to feel sad and sort out their thoughts, the overly noisy sound of the waves at the seaside pulled them back to reality from the intense sense of chaos. The sea surface was moving without wind, like a basin of still water being shaken by someone.

The tide receded, and the movement of the waves became irregular and unsystematic. A cool breeze blew from the sea to the island. The previous feeling of heat disappeared without a trace, and the temperature suddenly dropped a lot. Feng Qingyu's skin was so cold that goose bumps appeared.

"No way, there is a natural disaster here too?"

Feng Qingyu carefully read the monitoring report of the island in the past month. People from relevant departments confirmed that there will be no natural disasters in the next three months, and the next one will be in late autumn.

There were no iconic disaster clouds and lightning in the sky, no disaster alarms, and Xiosta's disaster messenger was still on vacation in the amusement park. All these abnormal changes were related to the ocean.

During the Great Silence of Iberia, all the lights in the country were extinguished by an unknown force, radio waves disappeared, the sea water surged, separating the lighthouses from the land, and all the lighthouses were paralyzed. Even the keepers could not find the problem, nor could they repair it. The Iberian coastline was plunged into darkness.

There is not much mention about temperature in the historical records. There are only a few words mentioning that someone saw the thermometer seemed to have malfunctioned, and the temperature plummeted from 30 degrees to almost zero.

Iberia had never been as cold as it was then. People wrapped themselves tightly in clothes and quilts and stayed at home without going out.

Candles and oil lamps were lit and extinguished over and over again, and even the light of flashlights was extremely weak. Darkness swept across this country in its golden age, and the Iberians believed that their doomsday had come and they wailed endlessly.

……

The contents of the history book quickly flashed through his mind, and Feng Qingyu was sure that there was no natural disaster on the island, or that it was about to happen. Two natural disasters at once would be really terrible, it was simply a hellish difficulty start.

"There are no disaster clouds in the sky, so it shouldn't be him. Maybe... it's Hai Si."

Reed tried to stay calm, holding the spear tightly in his hand, ready to fight with anything in the sea at any time.

She spent several hours intensively cleaning up the sea snakes and sea urchins during the day, and she knew well how to deal with them - don't get bitten, don't get scratched, don't let the liquid sprayed by the sea snakes touch the wound, and don't actively accept the so-called will of the large group.

If he could do these things and ensure that he always remained a normal Terran, he would not become a complete lunatic like Feng Qingyu's great-grandfather.

Although it may sound rude to say this, nothing the senior in the story did was normal, and "crazy" is already a very restrained word.

Many countries in Terra have not yet realized the seriousness of the maritime heir problem. Weicao knows some scholars who studied in Iberia decades ago. They are eyewitnesses of the Great Tranquility and have repeatedly proposed to prevent the maritime heir problem. It is a pity that the Victorian academic community does not take their proposals seriously and even laughs at them for worrying too much.

I wonder what those short-sighted and self-righteous scholars would think when they saw this endless sea, the dark masses of sea creatures and the abyss.

As soon as he finished speaking, the "little black guy" seen during the day, also known as the Road Shaper Fractal, walked out of the sea. Beside him were many strange-looking dark blue beast-like fish, fish that looked like plants, and even egg-shaped creatures with legs.

A large group of shabby creatures rushed ashore recklessly, more powerful than the road-shaping team during the day.

Just as Skadi said, the sea creatures like to appear at night. The temperature during the day is too high and the weather is too hot, so it is difficult for the creatures on the seabed to adapt to the environment on the shore.

When the temperature drops and the air becomes cool, they will come out in full force and spread ocean seeds to the ground.

"There are quite a few here tonight. I've seen photos of most of them in Kal'tsit's illustrated book. There are also some species I don't recognize. They may be newly evolved products."

Feng Qingyu dodged the terrifying fish that pounced on him and stabbed it with his sword. Gray-blue blood splashed onto the sand with the terrifying fish's screams, leaving behind an ugly stain.

Wei Cao's spear pierced several of them at a time. The pierced fish were burned by the fire spell and quickly turned into a pile of charcoal, just like skewers of meat roasted on charcoal fire.

Although the two tried hard to resist Hai Si and try to hold the defense line.

The number of Hai Si was not just a few hundred, but reached the terrifying number of tens of thousands. The two men were overwhelmed and could not stop the enemy targets that rushed through the gaps in the defense.

It's like a group of monsters rushing towards your home, and there are only two defensive operators, and each of them has to block one. Even if you block four or five, you still can't stop so many monsters. It takes time to construct a screen-clearing spell, and there is no such thing as a stuck axis.

There are not just two or three routes to escape monsters, but countless.

It is futile to continue to resist. We should notify the amusement park staff as soon as possible to let the tourists evacuate as soon as possible, and then contact the Xiosta City Security Bureau to deal with the emergency.

The island is probably gone, and the land that has been ravaged by the sea is most likely lost. Xiosta must make a choice.

"Let's go and notify them to evacuate first."

"Ah."

While on the way, Wei Cao contacted other Rhodes Island operators and asked them to notify the relevant personnel on the island and organize the evacuation. The power of two people is very weak, but with more people, the news will spread faster.

The holiday island, which was in a joyful atmosphere, suddenly turned into a pot of boiling water that could be poured down at any time. The probability of encountering a sea invasion during the trip was about the same as winning the lottery. With such a small probability, this group of unlucky guys happened to encounter it.

When the tourists heard that there was a large invasion of sea urchins on the island, they just thought it was a prank on the island.

It is common to play tricks on tourists and have staff dress up as various monsters, such as the Mudstone Colossus and the Witch Colossus. Tourists who can guess that it is a trick can get a free ticket, so this time the Sea Si Invasion was also regarded as a similar activity.

Before the disaster struck, no one believed in the so-called doomsday.

The area of ​​Villena Island is larger than that of Cartagena Island where it was stranded previously. Although the island is large in area, it is not like the outermost part of Victoria, which has solid metal walls and city defense cannons that can blow up everything.

There were no protective measures here, so Hai Si invaded the island as if it were an empty island, without any suspense.

Thousands of terrified fish crawled from the seabed to the beach, crossed the woods, and entered the perfect world built by humans. A group of weird and distorted monsters joined the carnival night on the island. They brought a kind of sticky substance that looked like fungus blanket and emitted blue fluorescence. The blue sticky substance immediately occupied the camp where the bonfire party was being held, and then the beach.

"What are those? They're disgusting."

"How could there be...how could there be a monster here?"

"Where is the security?"

……

The tourists finally realized that it was not a prank by the island's operating department. Those who were chased by the terrifying fish were either scratched or bitten, and those who were attacked underwent varying degrees of changes.

Anyone who comes into contact with Minghen will immediately suffer severe mental damage, fall into strange hallucinations, have their eyes rolled up, and foam at the mouth. No matter how people around them shake them, they can't return to normal. The crisis on the island is not the end of the world, but its lethality is almost the same as the end of the world.

Feng Qingyu and Wei Cao took the sightseeing elevator to the heights in advance, and killed some of the sea creatures that followed them. Normal people were unusually delicious food in the eyes of the sea creatures, and they needed to constantly hunt and feed them to complete the life cycle of the large group and strive to assimilate everyone on land.

The square below had turned into a sea of ​​dark scars, and the speed at which dark scars multiplied was terrifying. There were no decent fire-breathing facilities on the island, and no one was proficient in fire magic. Those panicked people didn't even know what had suddenly appeared, because no one had seen it before.

"Fortunately we evacuated quickly, otherwise we would have to die down there."

"No one could have imagined that Haisi was so fast. The first time I touched a corner of Iberia, I felt my scalp tingling. It's hard to imagine how cruel those who survived the Great Silence had to go through. To be honest, following you always brings me some... particularly interesting things."

Wei Cao wiped her cheeks and forehead with wet wipes, and her palms were sticky.

He kept swinging the spear, and because what happened tonight happened too suddenly, he was stimulated by the terrifying scene for a long time. He was sweating layer after layer. The thin black Rhodes Island operator uniform T-shirt was already soaked, and sweat was oozing out of every pore.

The same thing happened when she faced her sister Abrana, although she shouldn't compare those ugly monsters with her beautiful sister.

"I'm sorry, but running around in the land eroded by the sea is not fun. I should have known not to let you come with me. If you hadn't come with me, you would have taken a boat away from this island to a safe area."

Feng Qingyu still felt a little bit guilty.

There was no reed on the evening patrol mission list, but she showed her prowess in the afternoon clearing team, burning away hundreds of square kilometers of weeds, bringing remarkable results to the cleanup work. One person could replace dozens or even hundreds of sets of small helper household tools.

Rhodes Island never mistreats capable people, especially powerful operators like Reed. The head of the office, Huochong, asked her to have a good rest tonight and start work the next afternoon. Feng Qingyu took her out for a walk and patrolled.

She brought trouble to the reed.

But Weicao didn't think so and raised her hand to stop her from continuing.

"That's not the case. I was the one who started it all. I asked you to investigate the Sarkaz's sea supply lines with me, but we kept straying from our original purpose. We both have our share of responsibility, and one person taking it once is just about even. My abilities can help you and the other operators, but evacuation is not my style. Be careful—"

As soon as the elevator reached the top floor of the amusement park office building, the elevator door opened and several sea urchins were eager to rush into the elevator. The black spear immediately slipped out of Wei Cao's hand and he threw it out. The fire burning at the spear head forced the sea urchins back and they dared not approach.

As they walked out of the elevator, Feng Qingyu drew his sword and killed him, cooperating closely with Weicao.

My body gradually got used to the feeling of fighting and I no longer had any concerns about it.

The office building was also in a mess, and it was no safer than outside. The sea was omnipresent, seeping through the cracks in the doors and windows of the building. The floor of the corridor had already formed some abysses. More and more terrified fish were born from the abysses, and they continued to grow.

Some of the terrified fish pounced into the corner and used their sharp rodent teeth to frantically eat the "prey". The prey was wearing a pair of exquisite black leather shoes, and it must have been a respectable person in life.

“Even the building has fallen, it’s hard to hold up.”

They avoided the area where the Hai Si were gathered and used their peripheral vision to look for the broadcasting room in the building. They had not heard the emergency broadcast from the beginning, perhaps there was a problem in some link.

Feng Qingyu remembered it very clearly. She immediately contacted the announcer in the broadcasting room and asked him to announce the news of Haisi's invasion to tourists and residents all over the island, and to notify the staff at the dock to arrange for tourists and residents to escape.

There was nothing wrong with the announcer's voice, and he promised to take action immediately.

The broadcasting room in the amusement park was the second to last room at the end of the corridor. Feng Qingyu kicked the door open, and the door lock was damaged and hung in the air by a shaky screw.

Where is the announcer in the radio room?

A gigantic Tide-Repelling Undead was standing in the middle of the broadcasting room, gnawing on a human corpse. The scene was extremely bloody, and it was difficult to watch even with mosaics.

The person who was bitten was unrecognizable and his appearance could not be seen clearly. Judging from his physique and build, he was a tall man. He was wearing a security uniform and must be a security guard in this building.

The Tide-Repulsor looks very much like a mantis, with four legs. Its pair of forelimbs have turned into sharp sickles. Its body is mainly white, gray and dark blue. It has a very small head with two long blue tentacles.

This body that received the Tide Repulsion was most likely the broadcaster, or the broadcaster had escaped or been killed.

The equipment in the broadcasting room has been completely destroyed by the monster's sickle, and none of it can be used. It would be a waste of time to stay here any longer, so it is better to leave early.

The building was basically destroyed, and they now had only two options: go to the top floor of the building to board a flying vehicle and leave, or contact the Rhodes Island office to send support.

The second option was unrealistic. The agents in the office must have been in a panic, busy escaping and evacuating, carrying out the task of evacuating tourists, and were unable to spare the time to help them leave the center of the vortex.

There is no other way, I can only rely on myself.

"Let's go to the top floor and take a look."

Feng Qingyu pulled the reeds and ran upwards, with the reeds clearing away obstacles behind him.

However, the vehicle hangar on the top floor was empty, without a single aircraft left. They had long been driven away by people who had sensed the crisis and were nowhere to be found.

68. Panoramic open-air premium seats

"As expected..."

Feng Qingyu was not too surprised. It had been almost an hour since the problem occurred on the island. Those who could sense any disturbance had already left, and the lives of others were not that important.

The essence of strategic retreat is to ensure your own absolute safety and abandon unnecessary things, such as other people's lives.

The managers of the amusement park are not very responsible. Of course, they cannot force others to sacrifice themselves for others. It is a general rule that everyone runs for their lives when disaster strikes. It is rare to see people willing to risk their lives to save others.

Without a flying machine, it would be extremely difficult to take off and leave on the spot, and it would be inconvenient to walk down, and sooner or later you would be submerged by the surging sea. The flames could burn, but burning all the time was not a solution, as your physical strength would eventually run out.

There were only two of them, and they couldn't stand the high-intensity war of attrition. They were afraid that if they ran out of energy, they wouldn't even have the strength to retreat, and would end up drowning in the abyss.

The fire wall made of reeds temporarily blocked the last flight of stairs leading to the top floor. They had to find a way to leave before the spell effect completely dissipated.

"This location is too delicate, too far from the dock and too high above the ground. If we can get to the round-island train station ahead, we still have a way to get back to downtown Xiosta. Now the radio and other electronic equipment are unusable, so it's a bit risky to connect with the Rhode Island office."

Feng Qingyu first stood on the edge of the top floor and observed around, trying to find a new breakthrough.

The office building has become Hai Si's lair. Just now, he encountered a Tide-Repelling Undead. Its original body, the human part, is not around, so it is impossible to knock down the original body and the clone at the same time. The clone in Hai Si's form will keep resurrecting, and no one knows how many times it can be resurrected.

Although the Tide Repulser was not as durable as the Mudstone Colossus, it could not withstand the fast resurrection speed, and its pair of heavy scythes had extremely strong destructive power. Fortunately, it did not catch up, otherwise they would not have been able to think about the escape strategy so leisurely on the roof.

"The roof next door is close. How about we do some rooftop parkour? Jump down from here and move towards the station from a high place, as close to the dock as possible. If, and I mean if, the vehicle parked at the dock is still there and has not been destroyed, we can go back."

The vertical height between the two buildings is only a few meters, which is an ideal platform for movement except that the distance is a bit large. This distance is not a problem for the professionally trained Rhodes Island operators. The running distance is enough, coupled with excellent physical fitness and jumping ability, even longer distances are as easy as walking on flat ground.

"How about it, do you want to try it?"

"must."

Given a choice between becoming a sea turtle or jumping off a tall building, Wei Cao would definitely choose the latter.

If you are afraid of death, then you are not a Drake. No Drake has been taught to fear death. They will retreat immediately when faced with difficulties. And... this distance is not that high.

Rhodes Island has operators who can climb a 40-meter-high building with their bare hands, drop from the sky, and cut half of the Guard Bureau building with a chainsaw. They just need to complete a jump, which is not that difficult.

"You go first, I'll take over."

Wei Cao used magic to throw out a wall of fire, wrapping the door. The "dong dong" sound of Hai Si slapping the door was close to his ears. The first line of defense had been broken, and now it was the second line.

Physical energy should be saved for more important tasks and should be saved wherever possible.

Feng Qingyu retreated to the back, took a running start, and sprinted forward at the fastest speed. Jumping from one rooftop to another was a common training item for the Guard Bureau. The difference was that the police officers in training had safety cables on their bodies, safety air cushions underneath, and full protective gear on their bodies.

As the training content becomes more difficult, the protective gear on the body is reduced one by one, and in the end even the safety cable is removed. The only guarantee is the safety cushion below.

She was one of the few police officers in the Guard Bureau who did not have to take repeated assessments and passed the test in one go.

Treat tonight's evacuation as an ordinary daily training, and maintain a steady breathing and mentality.
