I changed the timeline with the game.

Chapter 320 Disaster Convergence Principle

The strong man Aidan was silent for a long time.

Finally, he gave Su Wen a solemn bow:

"Thank you."

Then, the honest sailors around also warmly invited:

“Mr. Kevin, you must have a drink with us before you leave.

We'll make sure you get some Drifter's Reserve rum.

Otherwise I don’t know how to thank you.”

"no problem."

The handsome scholar smiled and gave an affirmative answer.

He doesn't smoke.

But I don't mind drinking some wine or rum occasionally when the atmosphere is right.

Su Wen and Hannah walked up the spiral staircase made of metal steel frames, returning to the surface from underground amid the roar of steam engines and the clanging of steel around them.

As for those half-dead gangsters, they were all left to Aidan to deal with.

now.

The night had been shrouded in thick fog, turning into a deep black.

Just between these crisscrossing and overlapping steam transmission pipes.

Apart from the gas lamps swaying in the thick fog and the clanging sounds of gears and bearings, there was also the roar of heavy industry.

Su Wen only saw the former glory of European civilization, which was the crystallization of engineering flowing between Jupiter and other islands.

Unlike most modern cities, this ancient city-state has very few modern genes.

However, too many projections of Victorian history are imprinted on its body, leaving behind too many stories that have not been fully weathered.

So much so that when you look down at it, you will get the longitude and latitude of time and space wrong.

But for Su Wen, who stands from the perspective of a player and an observer of the future, it has a slightly different meaning.

He said calmly in the team voice:

“For visitors who are tired of seeing tall buildings.

In this historical labyrinth of steam-driven civilization, most travelers may be able to see the dazzling light and shadow covering the surfaces of various buildings.

But for the people who are in it.

This "unique technology tree" is not entirely a historical relic worthy of commemoration; some of it is scars or even illnesses.

It’s time to take a break.”

But just as he finished saying this, he walked on the silent road.

Suddenly, many human figures formed by phantoms appeared in the thick fog.

The computer screen also flashed for a moment:

[Negative mental pollution detected: erosion of consciousness]

[Data determination in progress]

[Judgment completed, high-intensity consciousness erosion has been exempted]

[Spiritual peeping detected]

[Expected source: Lost Sea - Kuroshio pollution source (Kuroshio card is not included yet)]

This phenomenon was very similar to what he and Jiang Menghan encountered at the Yenching Research Institute on their way to Moscow.

According to known information:
If eroded by the pollution field of the Lost Sea, it is easy for psychic energy to get out of control, or even directly transform into a corrosive body and pollution source.

But the Jupiter Islands are still a human-controlled area near the coast, and I didn’t expect it to be so dangerous.

He thought for a moment:

“It should be the Kuroshio disaster caused by the giant squid.

What the hell did those idiots in Cleveland do?

[Sudden Side Quest: Fear Maze]

[Mission Brief: Zero-sum game chose the Kuroshio. The pioneers may not be the only ones sailing with the Wiltings.
If you encounter a sudden disaster crisis, please hold on for 20 minutes.

[Reward: Recharge the Disability Card again +1] See this prompt.

He made a prompt decision.

He returned to old Merck's shabby house at an extremely fast speed.

Open the door.

He saw that old Merck's face was already turning blue, and even Hannah seemed a little dazed.

Even the nano-drones he released when he just got off the Veltins ship showed signs of loss of connection to varying degrees in the data map.

But with the help of stratified data analysis.

Su Wen also understood that the drifters' gathering place deep underground, including Steam Port No. 5, had not been eroded by strong pollution.

He calmly took out a piece of high-purity Hesilam crystal from the storage box, which he obtained after the closure of the ruins of Institute No. 76 at Rockefeller University in New York State.

The crystal was encased in a silver staff.

This was specially built by him before his trip to prevent pollution from the Kuroshio Current.

The Hesilam crystal born from [Will] and [Protection] can probably at least play the role of the third-level protection spell of the Gospel Church.

Supported by the protective field of the Hesilam crystal.

Su Wen said to Hannah, who had just regained consciousness, in a calm tone:

“Take old Merck down with the cane, and have Aidan notify the rest of the Landmark residents to take shelter.

Try to shelter as many people as possible.

I'm going to go to the port where the Veltins is docked to see if there are any problems there.

This is just the aftermath. There is a lighthouse built by NASA in the Jupiter Islands, so the disaster should not last too long.

Go quickly. "

Hear him say that.

As a first-level extraordinary person and a mechanical apprentice of the energy-conducting sequence, Hannah nodded firmly, supporting her grandfather with one hand and holding the notebook that was emitting a faint blue light with the other.

[Sublimation Lineage: Mechanical Apprentice]

[Extraordinary Features: Overclocking]

As Hannah's extraordinary characteristics were activated, the surrounding steam machines were stacked and running with a clicking sound, and the protection system of the entire slum workshop was forcibly activated.

After completing the aftermath work.

Su Wen estimated that it would take about ten minutes to return to the rest area of the port's luxury hotel, and there were NASA defense forces there, so they were prepared to arrive there as quickly as possible.

There is no time to wait for those people, as we are dealing with sudden abyss disasters.

Now, what he needs most is time.

Countless thick black shadows like ink drops appeared around him.

As the invisible whispers sounded, the fog of the Lost Sea seemed to become thicker.

Followed by.

The shadows surged toward him.

[Identification: Black Tide Construct, Intermediate First Stage]

The threat level is not high.

After all, the black tide that could erode the main land of the Jupiter Islands has been greatly weakened by the pioneer lighthouse in the center of the island.

Su Wen steadied his pace and took a step back, and at the same time, the azure blue Sword of the Watcher appeared in his hand.

Then he raised his hand and swung the sword, instantly shattering the monster shadow formed by the black tide and thick fog.

At the same time, he asked Jiang Menghan in the team voice:
"How are you doing over there?"

The Iceberg Girl replied in a very calm voice:
"NASA has activated its backup protection system and most of the gates are now closed.

But the database has a system prompt that it needs to be closed for fifteen minutes.

I can’t find the source of the disaster.”

"Don't worry, I'm here."
