Fang Zhou, I'm just a farmer, not Shennong!

"Besides, no matter how easygoing Mr. Lu is, this is our first meeting after all. Being too casual and willful on our first meeting will more or less leave a bad impression on others."

"Isn't that what we did when we went out to carry out commissions before?"

At this point, Scout's expression pretended to be serious.

"If you're smiling and frivolous, your employer will probably think you're unreliable. Only if you're serious and stern will they see you as reliable. They might even place an order with Rhodes Island in the future."

Logos nodded and gave an affirmative answer: "High emotional intelligence"

Just when a few of them were chatting happily together.

At this time, Huang, who was facing the window, suddenly said in confusion.

"Eh? Look outside, isn't it getting a little dark? Is it going to rain soon? The weather is so fickle."

Huang said casually.

However, Lin Guang, who was very concerned about the situation in the wilderness, suddenly turned his head, frowned deeply, leaned on the window, looked at the surrounding environment and the dark clouds in the sky that were condensing at a speed visible to the naked eye, like lead blocks.

At this moment, the entire world changed from sunny to rainy.

"It's not cloudy and rainy..."

Lin Guang's voice trembled slightly.

She was not a messenger of natural disasters, but after leaving Casimir, she, Shining, and Liz traveled to various countries and wandered through the wilderness like explorers.

Although he is not a messenger of natural disasters, Lin Guang's knowledge is no less than that of the messenger of natural disasters. In this situation!

It's a clear sign of an impending natural disaster!

“It’s a natural disaster!!”

Natural disaster!!

Everyone who was chatting leisurely on the scene stood up immediately. Even Logos' expression became a little serious at this time. He was not afraid of natural disasters personally, but there were not only him on the transport ship, but also many other people.

It seemed to confirm Lin Guang's guess.

The urgent voice of the Scourge Messenger aboard the transport ship was heard throughout the transport ship's broadcast.

"All operators, please return to the lobby. According to tests, the concentration of Originium dust around the ship has reached the maximum human tolerance. A large-scale natural disaster is suspected to be imminent ahead. The ship is now preparing to turn around and circumvent."

"All operators, please return to the lobby immediately. The Originium dust concentration outside has reached..."

on the air.

The Messenger of Natural Disaster kept repeating the report.

But everyone could tell from the slightly trembling voice of the disaster messenger that this was not just an ordinary super-large disaster.

At this time, after hearing the broadcast, the Rhodes Island operators who were originally resting on the deck, basking in the sun, and training, ran towards the ship's hold.

Soon everyone gathered in the hall.

At this moment, the heavy metal door of the hall was closed and locked with a click, and the entire transport ship entered the emergency mode when facing natural disasters.

"Why did a natural disaster happen suddenly?"

Lu Yuan spoke slowly, without a trace of panic in his tone. He looked out of the window curiously at the black sky that seemed to be about to fall.

"We may have encountered an unexpected natural disaster, Mr. Lu."

ACE walked over and explained to Lu Yuan.

Although most natural disasters can be predicted by the Disaster Messenger one or two months or even longer in advance, there are still a small number of natural disasters that cannot be predicted without any signs. They may be calm one second and then the disaster will come the next, making it difficult to react.

At a time when mobile cities are becoming popular.

Ordinary natural disasters can no longer harm mobile cities. Most of the mobile cities that have been destroyed today are caused by extremely rare natural disasters that occur without warning.

The mobile city was destroyed without even having a chance to react, and there was nothing that could be done about it.

This phenomenon is more common in the wilderness.

This is also the reason why traveling in the wilderness requires an experienced guide to guide the Scourge Messenger, because many places in the wilderness are so unpredictable and quite dangerous.

The wilderness seemed quite large.

But in order to avoid danger, transport ships follow fixed routes to any destination.

And now, Rhodes Island's luck is so bad.

ACE glanced at Misery next to him.

Misery nodded in understanding, his eyes firm.

Before they set off, everyone in Rhodes Island had already held a private meeting to plan their respective division of labor.

They had an absolute purpose for this trip, and they had to ensure Lu Yuan's personal safety, even if it meant sacrificing their own lives.

This is also the reason why Misery followed.

As a master of the extremely rare 'space' Originium technique, his combat power may not be as strong as those of purely destructive Originium techniques, but his functionality is terrifyingly strong, whether it is reconnaissance, secret assassination, infiltration, or escape.

However, with Misery's power, he can only take one person away at a time, and that person is Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan didn't know that the people of Rhodes Island had secretly discussed a plan to protect themselves. He just put his hands in his pockets and looked ahead silently.

This was the first time he had witnessed a natural disaster.

There was a real sense of despair as dark clouds loomed over the city, and the sky seemed to have transformed into a giant beast that was about to devour everything on the ground.

Rhodes Island's elite operators had already stood around Lu Yuan without any prior agreement, protecting him firmly in the center in a quadrilateral formation.

At this time, the transport ship was so large that if it wanted to make a big turn, it had to brake to reduce its speed first. As it braked, the huge transport ship continued to slide with a sizzling sound, and the large tires crushed the ground, and the speed continued to decrease.

Then it made a sharp turn and slowly turned in the opposite direction, preparing to return the same way.

However, after the land vehicle finished its rotation, everyone was shocked to find that there was no intact place in the sky at this time. Even the way back had already been covered by dark disaster clouds, stretching as far as the eye could see.

The wind howled in the surrounding wilderness and blew fiercely against the windows, making a crackling sound like rain. Then, everyone saw black particles spinning at high speed in the air outside the transport ship.

This particle is an enlarged version of the Originium particle. Normally, there are only very small Originium particles in the air, which are so small that they cannot be seen by the naked eye. Only when a super-large-scale natural disaster is about to happen, will there be Originium particles visible to the naked eye.

If such Originium particles are inhaled into the body, the probability of ordinary people becoming infected will greatly increase.

Small particles of originium were mixed in the hurricane, constantly hitting the windows, making a crackling and pattering sound, as if there were thousands of evil spirits outside knocking on the windows to lure people out.

If this transport ship was carrying ordinary people, when encountering such a situation, Lu Yuan could already guess how many people would collapse and kneel on the ground crying. However, their ship was full of operators, and a large number of them were elite operators. Even when their lives were really at stake, they would not collapse like ordinary people.

The transport ship's engine had been running at maximum speed, and it was fleeing in the opposite direction at the fastest speed. However, the darkness in the sky seemed endless, and no matter how it ran, it still could not escape.

Misery has walked to Lu Yuan's side and is ready to use his Originium skills.

As for why not use it now.

Because the specific natural disaster has not yet occurred.

There are many forms of natural disasters, and the disaster cloud only marks an approximate range. The specific location and density of the disaster are uncertain.

However, the range of Misery's Originium skill space jump is not very large. It is impossible to space jump outside the disaster cloud in one breath. Leaving the transport ship at this time is the most dangerous thing.

It’s better to wait.

If the transport ship can successfully leave, then everything will be fine. If not, then he can only use this final plan.

At this time, no one spoke in the huge transport ship. Everyone was so quiet that you could even hear the sound of everyone's heart beating.

Even if you appear worried on the surface, it would be a lie to say you are not nervous deep down. In the face of a super-large-scale natural disaster, human power is ultimately too small. At this time, both ordinary people and elite operators can only hope that the transport ship can avoid the natural disaster.

suddenly.

The radio, which had been silent for a long time, started to sound again, and the voice of the Messenger of Calamity was heard on the radio. However, this time, the Messenger of Calamity's voice was no longer trembling as before, and was filled with endless despair.

"Operators, I may have misjudged you earlier. We may not be encountering a conventional, massive natural disaster, but rather... an Originium tornado."

"Originium tornadoes are extremely rare natural disasters, even in the wilderness. There have been 102 documented Originium tornadoes in the past hundred years, and what we're encountering now might be..."

"Operators, please prepare for the worst, but please don't despair. Trust the Captain..."

After saying that, the broadcast was cut off.

It seemed as if this natural disaster was confirming the words of the disaster messenger. The next second, the huge transport ship suddenly shook, and all the operators in the hall almost fell to the ground. Huang subconsciously wanted to support Lu Yuan, but Lu Yuan was as stable as an iron tower and did not need any support at all. Instead, he was supported by Lu Yuan.

And behind the transport ship, on the originally empty wilderness, a large black Originium tornado gradually condensed.

The tornado was so big that it looked like a pillar, stretching straight between heaven and earth.

Everything on the ground is as small as an ant in front of the tornado. Even a huge transport ship is like a small boat in the sea, small and helpless in front of the tornado.

The Originium tornado is not an ordinary tornado, but a tornado formed entirely by Originium dust and Originium particles rotating at high speed. The speed of these Originium particles can be ridiculously fast. Driven by such high speed, these originally small and pitiful Originium particles will become sharper than any knife.

Any object around it will be crushed to pieces without any chance of resistance.

"It's actually an Originium Tornado!!!"

Even someone as calm as Lin Guang couldn't help but feel a hint of despair at this moment. She had witnessed such a rare natural disaster from afar once before. After that time, Lin Guang understood how insignificant human power was in the face of nature.

Even elite operators are, after all, just stronger humans, and are no different in the face of natural disasters.

"It's really unlucky for us."

Logos couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"It's really unlucky."

Scout sighed heavily, seeming somewhat desperate.

At this moment, on the side of the hall, a group of Rhodes Island trainee operators finally couldn't hold back their emotions anymore and began to grieve. After all, they were just young interns and couldn't be as calm as the elites in facing such a scene.

"Misery, it's your turn..."

Logos patted his friend's shoulder. Misery stared at all his friends present, his mouth trembling slightly, but he nodded resolutely, walked to Lu Yuan's side, and put a hand on Lu Yuan's shoulder.

"Let's go, Mr. Lu!"

Without even waiting for Lu Yuan to speak, Misery had already activated his Originium skills, preparing to take Lu Yuan out of the transport ship through space jump and leave the area of the Originium tornado from the side.

However, just when Misery had just activated his Originium skill, he suddenly discovered that his Originium skill was interfered by an even more ridiculously powerful force, and he was unable to perform space jumps.

Misery looked at Lu Yuan in disbelief.

"Mr. Lu, you??"

The only thing he saw in front of him was Lu Yuan’s smiling face.

"There's no need for this."

After saying that, Lu Yuan turned around and looked at the group of elite operators around him who had given him their only hope of survival and were determined to die.

"Everyone, I am very grateful to you for giving me this only chance to live."

"But since you've chosen to follow me, you're my colleagues and my friends. If that's the case, how can I face Dr. Kal'tsit and explain this to him?"

"Besides..."

Lu Yuan's expression suddenly became serious and confident.

"Who said we would die in this natural disaster? As long as I don't allow anything to happen to you, then even if 'God' comes, nothing will happen to us."

Looking at Lu Yuan's confident expression, everyone was completely stunned for a moment. Even interns like Fen and Furong stopped being sad and looked at Mr. Lu in unison.

"Xiao Yuan, but...but..."

Huang rushed forward immediately.

"I know you're strong, Xiao Yuan. Even infected creatures hundreds of meters tall are no match for you, Xiao Yuan. But this is an Originium tornado. It's truly beyond human power to contend with. Xiao Yuan, your life is far more important than ours. You are the hope of Rhodes Island and the hope of the entire world!"

"Rhodes Island will be without us. There will be new elite operators and more powerful ones joining us in the future, but without you, this world will truly be gone!!"

"So, don't be like this, Xiao Yuan, leave!!"

“Misery!!!”

Misery, who was standing by, also said to Lu Yuan anxiously, "Yes, Mr. Lu, you can't be in trouble. This is our last chance. Once the distance of the Originium Tornado exceeds the critical value, we will have no chance at all."

"It's fine."

Lu Yuan smiled and shook his head.

Then he patted Huang on the shoulder.

"Huang, I'm really happy to have a friend like you."

"But... my power is far from being as simple as it once was!"

After saying that, Lu Yuan rushed towards the door of the hall in full view of everyone. Since the door was closed at this moment, it was quite troublesome to open it from the inside, so Lu Yuan turned into a stream of water, drilled out from the gap, and re-condensed his body on the deck.
