Chapter 88 The Ring of Xuanqing
Author: Shenyou Buzhou Mountain
Olivia stuffed the phone back into her bag and used brute force to lift a stone pillar. The students who were stuck underneath got out one after another, and their little faces suddenly turned red when they were blown by the cold wind.
It's June 8th, 2:40.
Seattle is 2,400 meters above the surface.
Although it has a textbook temperate oceanic climate, with neither cold in winter nor hot in summer, as the altitude increases, the temperature will inevitably decrease and the wind will become stronger, making it very easy to lose temperature.
Fortunately, with the fires everywhere being extinguished, although people trapped in the city cannot leave here for the time being, they can still get some thick clothes from home.
"Follow the signal and go to the evacuation location, quickly!"
Olivia shouted at the escaping children and the refugees around her, her long golden hair shining brightly even at night.
It has been more than three hours since the great changes in Seattle. Almost at the same time that Olivia broke out of the sniper killing array, the city began to take off.
The blonde trialist wandered around the city, constantly rescuing trapped civilians with her blessed body. She saved many people, but Olivia also understood that for this huge city with a population of more than five million,
Said, this contribution is insignificant.
She took a deep breath and looked around -
The roar of helicopter propellers was deafening, and soldiers continued to announce the evacuation location through loudspeakers. Citizens of Seattle lined up in long lines, slowly advancing on the broken and twisted streets. The sobs were like weeds, the cold wind was like knives, and the people closest to them were shouting in a kind of way.
He looked at himself with hope and admiration.
Don't look at me like that, I... am really not worthy of your expectations, Olivia thought silently, rushed out of the refugee queue in a few steps, and ran towards the Seattle Center Library.
There were not many people in the city center anymore. The blond beauty entered the underground waterway without any difficulties and found the drilled holes and steel wires.
Olivia held the steel wire with one hand and slid it down. The blessed skin was incredibly tough, and the metal wire only left red marks and did not scratch the skin.
The blond trialist fell to the ground. Most of the huge cave had collapsed. Many corridors were sealed by falling rocks. All lighting equipment was disabled and it was pitch black.
But such an environment could not stop Olivia's pursuit.
The gray ring flashed brightly, and [Spiritual Technique·Tracing Dog] was activated.
This big golden retriever connected with its owner's mind. It twitched its nose slightly and jumped forward. At the same time, a thread that only Olivia, the spiritual spell initiator, could see, connected her with the tracking dog.
on the body.
boom!
There was another huge tremor all around, and underground, the vibration was even stronger.
Olivia held on to the rock wall and dug hard. Her fingers dug into the stone and her whole body bounced out.
In such a critical situation, she must act quickly!
"The spiritual skills engraved in the trialer's ring can be used two more times..." Olivia silently calculated the remaining power and launched a charge in the dark underground.
…
What kind of experience would it be like for a piece of land with a total area of 369 square kilometers and a thickness of more than two thousand meters to break away from the surface and continue to rise?
Anyone with a normal IQ knows that this is a disaster!
Even if you don't think about this mythical supernatural power for the moment, it is very, very troublesome for such a large piece of land to break away from the surface.
Seattle is a seaside city. If such a huge volume is vacated, seawater will inevitably flow in. What is the concept of a two-thousand-meter drop? This level of potential energy will inevitably produce a tsunami! Even if you don't care about the things in the sea, the depths of the earth suddenly disappear.
The weight of this part of rock is tens of millions of tons, and the chain reaction caused by it will make people's scalp numb just thinking about it!
In addition to rescuing the "air refugees" in the sky, almost all the forces mobilized by North America during this period were used to eliminate the impact of "land separation".
Fortunately, North America has rich experience in undersea shale oil extraction, and the related disciplines and equipment are among the best in the world, which has barely weakened the impact of the huge mass leaving the surface.
Fortunately, Seattle's rise was relatively slow. It took more than three hours to rise to 2,400 meters. The impact was not as severe as expected.
However, even so, at this moment, the nerves of senior officials and relevant departments around the world are still tense.
Because there is a more terrifying thing that has not yet been resolved——
Seattle, what should I do if I fall?
On the surface, the consequence of falling is that all the citizens on it will die.
But in fact, the damage caused must be far more than that.
The land with a total area of 369 square kilometers and a thickness of more than two thousand meters hit the surface, and the impact kinetic energy released was too great.
You know, in the very popular "Cretaceous asteroid impact hypothesis", the asteroid that wiped out the earth's ecology and the kingdom of dinosaurs was only ten kilometers in diameter!
Of course, it was an asteroid, impacting from outside the earth at a very high speed.
But the land area of Seattle is too large, and who can tell how high it will eventually rise? What if it rises outside the stratosphere, what if it falls after rising to that height... haha.
If that situation really happens, all people on earth will die!
The life of the entire race is at stake. People are so nervous that they don't stop for a moment, and all kinds of fantastic ideas are constantly bursting out.
But the strange thing is that despite extreme anxiety and fear, the high-level humans still have hope in their hearts, not despair, and even some faint expectations.
——At this time, it’s finally time for the Temple to take action, right?
I know that the purpose of your temple trials is to test new blood, and you rarely intervene, but in this situation, Seattle is so crazy, you can't let those new trialists turn the tide, right?
Don't be behind your back. I know your temple is awesome, but you are going to lose your household registration right away. Why don't you just sit on Diaoyutai?
Just like that, the whole world's eyes were focused on Seattle, waiting silently.
…
The alchemy doll sat under the tree, holding its head and looking at the seemingly infinite "rock wall" in the distance.
The so-called "rock wall" is actually the exposed underground rock part of Seattle, which can be clearly seen even from the small town of Forks hundreds of kilometers away.
The alchemy doll remained silent. In fact, when not in use, Lu Yuan would take back a large part of the "spirit" on the doll to save energy.
At a certain moment, the eyes of the puppet "Victor" suddenly became animated.
Lu Yuan took control of it again.
Victor stood up and touched his heart with his hand wearing a ring:
"May your will be with the ring."
In the humid air of Fox Town, two people slowly appeared.
There is a man and a woman. The woman has an oriental face. She is probably in her early twenties. She has a beautiful face and wears a silver ring.
"May your will be with the ring, [Instructor] Victor." Su Ranqing saluted, took a step back, and left the man in front.
The man has a simple face, close to thirty, with deep eye sockets and flaxen hair.
"Together."
He also saluted according to the tradition of the temple, but did not say the complete blessing.
However, neither Su Ranqing's nor the alchemy doll's faces showed anything strange.
Because the man wears a pure black ring on his left index finger.
Chapter completed!
