Armor-piercing bullets don't believe in carbon-based monsters

Chapter 222 At Least We Are Here

"Fuxi, list for me the animals in nature that can produce low temperatures."

Back in the carriage, Chen Jian asked Fuxi the first question.

Soon, Fuxi's voice sounded in the car.

"According to the database test, I have not found any organism that can actively create a low-temperature environment."

"This does not conform to the logic of biological survival, and therefore cannot appear in evolutionary selection."

"Based on the intelligence we have so far, it is possible that this monster is not actively creating a low-temperature environment. Even if there is a low-temperature environment around it, it should be a byproduct of other body functions."

"I think the low temperature zone brought by this monster is most likely related to adiabatic expansion."

"Based on the size of the monster, if the internal air pressure reaches over 2 megapascals, the air exhaled would be enough to cause a short-term low temperature of -20 degrees Celsius outside."

"But what doesn't make sense is why this monster needs to create a high-pressure environment in its body."

"This is a question I can't guess the answer to for now."

"clear."

Chen Jian nodded slightly, and after careful consideration, he asked:
“Is there any organism whose internal pressure is much higher than atmospheric pressure?”

"It's not found in terrestrial organisms, but it's common in deep-sea organisms - that doesn't seem to be a reference."

Indeed, there is no reference value at all.

In fact, Chen Jian knew without asking Fuxi that there was no living creature in the world with an "independent high-pressure system".

The reason why fish in the deep sea need to maintain high pressure in their bodies is to fight against the water pressure in the deep sea. What do you, a terrestrial creature, need to fight against?

Chen Jian frowned, realizing that it was impossible to truly infer the physiological characteristics of each monster.

But as long as we can find it and kill it, all problems will be solved.

So, he once again switched the image on the smart eyepiece to the air, trying to find the connection between those low-temperature areas.

But he soon discovered that the direction in which those low-temperature areas extended was not towards Ender City.

"They're not going after Ender."

Chen Jian said in a deep voice:

"From these 'footprints' we can see that the two monsters are moving along a route from southwest to northeast."

"Their goal is clear and their path is almost straight."

"The extension of this path happens to pass through Ender City, but that is definitely not their final destination."

"Fuxi, have you found the monster's true form?"

"Not yet."

Fuxi's voice sounded again:
"Commander, the footprints you mentioned are broken."

"Aerial thermal imaging did not find any traces of the target monster. It is speculated that the monster may be hiding in the water or jungle."

"Tianqiong-S will continue to monitor the air for 4 hours. If anything is found, I will notify you immediately."

"it is good."

Chen Jian pushed the door and got out of the car, intending to brief others on the situation, but the businessmen and civilians waiting outside could not wait any longer.

Everyone rushed over, and even though they were stopped by Huang Meng's team, they were still unwilling to take a step back.

Chen Jian always felt that this scene was somewhat familiar.

But, I felt something was wrong.

There is some prestige, but what about trust? What about feelings?

Chen Jian shook his head, took a few steps forward, and said:
"We have completed reconnaissance within a 50-kilometer radius and found no trace of monsters."

"They are not heading for Ender City, you can rest assured."

As soon as the words fell, a noisy noise immediately broke out among the crowd.

"It's okay. It's okay!"

"It's good that I'm not going to Ander, my family is still in Ander"

"Family? My goods are still there! If they can't be delivered to Jinling, I'll be finished if the Holy Hall investigates!"

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"

"Sir, can we go back to Ender now?"

"Sure." Chen Jian answered briefly, and cheers instantly broke out from the crowd.

But soon, Chen Jian raised his hand again.

"But neither Ender nor any other city is safe anymore."

"It's even possible that even the imperial capital is no longer safe."

"A beast tide is about to occur. Every human settlement may become a target of the beast tide."

"If you want to survive"

"I suggest you try to defend a settlement with stronger strength."

"At least, you can hide for a short while."

"Wait until the beast tide is over before returning to your homes."

Big ups and downs.

The crowd, who had just been immersed in the joy of "crisis resolved", fell from heaven to hell in an instant.

Beast tide?

This term was extremely unfamiliar to them, but even these two simple words were enough to make them feel the danger it implied.

"Sir, what is the beast tide?"

Someone asked.

"A disaster made of monsters."

Chen Jian replied:
"We don't know exactly what it will look like. We are also trying to find out the truth about the beast tide."

"But what is certain is that it is extremely destructive."

"There is hardly any human city in this wasteland that can withstand the impact of the beast tide, so in fact, whether you can survive depends entirely on luck."

"Good luck to you."

As Chen Jian finished his words, the people surrounding the convoy fell into deathly silence.

Even the Chinese army that specializes in hunting monsters don’t know what the beast tide is?
Even they said that no city can withstand the impact of the beast tide?

So where should we go?

Many confused eyes met each other, but among them, the businessman Jin Zan's eyes revealed a bit of surprise.

Unlike others, he knew about the beast tide.

In the past ten years of doing business for the Holy Temple, he had come into contact with too many high-ranking figures.

He had also heard many rumors, some true and some false, from those big shots.

Among them, there is a description of the beast tide.

With his identity, it was difficult for him to explore too many details, but he also knew that the last beast tide occurred one hundred and fifty years ago.

Moreover, it claimed the lives of tens of thousands of people and directly destroyed a thriving city.

And now, is such a disaster going to happen again?
Jin Zan subconsciously took a step forward, wanting to get closer to the convoy and get shelter.

But in a flash, he realized that he was just an insignificant little person to those adults.

How could they possibly care about their own life and death?
If such a disaster really happened, even the temple would probably not be able to spare the manpower to shelter those worthless civilians, right?
Jin Zan lowered his head in disappointment.

But at this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly asked:

"Sir, where should we go to be safer?"

"I mean, at least a little bit safer?"

Chen Jian exhaled slowly and replied:

"Go to Jinling."

"Jinling City? The Holy Temple may not accept us."

"No, we are going to the Jinling Ruins."

Chen Jian said word by word:

"At least, we're there."
