"Amiya, we have seen the location of the special natural disaster on A1328."
Kelsey sat on the seat in front of the control center, looking at the images transmitted back from the external monitor on the screen.
"Send an action team out to investigate now?"
Amiya's two rabbit ears stood straight on her head, and she confirmed to her for the last time: "Are you sure that the concentration of Originium energy in the surrounding area has dropped to a safe level?"
"Well, low level. It is basically impossible for natural disasters to occur." Kelsey pushed up her glasses, "Natural disasters must also abide by the law of conservation of energy. They do not appear out of thin air."
"Of course, it is unusual for an area where a natural disaster meteorite has just fallen to maintain a low-level Originium energy concentration, so I must emphasize again that this is an outbound exploration operation with a high level of danger.
"
"And in order to ensure the accuracy of the intelligence, this time the action team needs to go out of the cabin, and the autonomous robot can only serve as an assist."
Kelsey seemed to be afraid that Amiya would disagree, so she calmly said to her.
"We still don't know the cause and formation process of this special natural disaster. This kind of natural disaster is likely not applicable to any of our current understanding of natural disasters."
Amiya looked at the picture on the screen, suddenly jumped down from the armchair, and the two long ears on her head twitched.
Turning her head, she looked at Kelsey seriously.
"I know."
"So...this time I will lead the team myself."
"Bang."
Kelsey, who had always maintained a calm expression, changed her expression, slammed the table and stood up, looking at Amiya with sharp eyes.
"no!"
The sound straightened up by several dozen decibels.
Almost roaring.
All the numerical monitors in the control center looked in their direction.
Amiya just looked at Kelsey calmly.
"Kelsey, no matter how dangerous it is, someone will always do it."
"You can't have any accidents! You are the only one left, the only hope. We only have you."
Kelsey paused in her words and lowered her voice consciously. Although her expression was still cold, there was almost a hint of pleading in her voice. She pointed at the screen and emphasized to Amiya.
"That's a natural disaster!"
"It's okay, Kelsey."
Amiya seemed to smile cheerfully and tugged her collar in her direction.
There was a blue-black, slightly shiny collar.
That is a monitoring collar developed by Rhode Island to constantly monitor the condition of people infected with ore disease and the spread of the virus.
However, on Amiya, this necklace represents more meaning.
"It doesn't matter! Even as a magician, I am very strong."
Amiya arched her eyebrows slightly, with a big smile on her face.
Kelsey seemed stunned.
Probably because I haven't seen Amiya smile for a long time, but when I suddenly saw her, she suddenly seemed a little strange.
"But... that's a natural disaster."
"But, I am the leader of Rhode Island."
Amiya gradually stopped smiling and looked at Kelsey seriously like a truly powerful leader.
"If I, as a leader, cannot face natural disasters with courage, how can we 'rewrite' all the pain we are suffering? Kelsey."
“Accidents cannot be avoided.”
"Only face it."
Amiya finished speaking calmly and walked towards the door of the control center.
Kelsey pursed her lips tightly.
"Well, Amiya, Dr. Kelsey is just worried about your physical condition."
Behind Amiya, the group of four followed.
A ghost woman with horns on her head, an eyepatch on her face, a Rhodes Island uniform, and a long knife at her waist comforted her gently.
Amiya nodded and said in a calm voice, but there was a hint of helplessness in her tone: "It's Yadou, the two of us are not here...forget it, your A4 team is here, follow me
Let’s go check out the situation at the landing point.”
"OK."
The woman known as Night Knife, whose eyes were covered with a black eyepatch, looked at Amiya and hesitated.
"Amiya, please don't go this time." She said with some hesitation in her tone, "Didn't Dr. Kelsey say last time that the fusion rate of your body cells with the Origin Stone has increased again?
"
"That's where a natural disaster falls, and the source energy concentration will definitely not be low..."
Amiya smiled silently and continued walking forward.
Although she was a little happy that everyone was concerned about her health, there was a reason why she had to go.
She is the most powerful magician in Rhode Island.
If a special type of natural disaster suddenly occurs here again, only she can block the aftermath of the natural disaster and save the lives of some operators.
Of course, if they happened to stand in front of the sudden natural disaster, even if she tried her best, she would probably die.
Ye Dao and the others also know this, and Kelsi's meaning is even more clear. Anyone can die, but you can't.
Amiya felt this was wrong.
But she didn't explain anything.
The group of people arrived at the exit cabin in silence. In addition to Amiya and the four members of the A4 action team, there was also an Originium energy exploration team and a collection team, a total of fifteen people.
Everyone put on thicker radiation-proof suits in the outgoing cabin, with Originium technology etched on them. This could prevent them from being exposed to oriosis caused by the strong Originium energy in the outside world.
There are many ways to infect Ore Disease, and long-term exposure to excessively high concentrations of Source Energy is one of them.
The reason why people in the world of Terra all live in mobile cities was originally for this reason.
However, this does not mean that there are no human beings living on the surface.
Due to the excessive concentration of source minerals on the surface, which far exceeds the tolerance limit of the normal human body, all humans living on the surface have become alienated and become infected with ore disease.
After being eliminated from generation to generation, except for the criminals who continue to be exiled in various cities in various countries, the ground is basically in a state of being 'emptied'.
Even if it does survive, it can't be called a 'human being'.
So be careful when you go out.
It is extremely abnormal to rush out with no shirt like Han Baiyi did. Wearing radiation protection suits and preferably even oxygen tanks is the most normal way for an action team to go out.
Even those infected with ori disease like Amiya will put on radiation protection suits to prevent their condition from getting worse.
laugh--
With the sound of a slight air pump, Rhode Island, which was always on the move, slowly came to a standstill.
A small door wide enough for one person opened silently from the exit cabin, and steps one by one extended down from the small door.
Ya Dao carefully looked at the source stone energy value on the arm of the radiation protection suit.
"Amiya, the energy value of the Origin Stone nearby is low, but to be on the safe side, we only have thirty minutes to operate outside."
"This is Dr. Kelsey's suggestion."
"Well, I understand."
Through the mask of the radiation-proof suit, which was comparable to armor, Amiya nodded in the direction of Yato, and then climbed down the stairs slightly clumsily.
In fact, thirty minutes is definitely enough time.
After all, the location where they stopped was less than three kilometers away from the landing point, and the physical fitness of humans in the Terra world far exceeded that of the current world.
However, as soon as a group of fifteen people landed, a researcher from the collection team wearing a radiation protection suit knelt down on the ground with a pale face.
"vomit--"
Several team members nearby rushed to help him, and then they dragged him up with difficulty.
Amiya and others stayed in front for a while.
The members of this collection team are probably new here, and it is normal to have such symptoms.
Compared to the action team members whose potential is mostly two-star and above, they are just ordinary people with stronger bodies.
Just being in an environment where the Source Stone energy is too rich will produce a special reaction similar to drunken oxygen. Even if you are wearing radiation-proof clothing, it will take some time to get used to it.
Ya Dao, on the other hand, was wearing a radiation-proof suit. He would raise his wrist to look at the Source Stone energy recorder every thirty seconds, constantly monitoring the Source Stone energy values around him, for fear that his carelessness would ruin their group.
However, whether it was her, Amiya, or other operators, they all discovered something strange.
The further they traveled towards the direction of the natural disaster, the more comfortable their bodies felt.
It's not the kind of comfort you feel when being hit by a big sword, but the natural reaction of walking from a place with twice the gravity to a position of normal gravity. You can't explain the reason, but you just feel that the burden on your body is getting smaller and smaller.
Ya Dao, who kept looking at the Source Stone energy recorder on his wrist, had a strange look on his face.
This isn't right.
Why is it that as we move towards the direction of the natural disaster, the energy value of the Source Stone becomes lower and lower?
Is this different from the collection missions they have conducted before?
Is there something wrong with the Source Stone energy recorder?
With this thought in mind, Yadao immediately grabbed several of his team members and looked at the recorder values in their hands.
normal.
normal.
Or is it normal?
Ya Dao even doubted his own eyes.
Is this the surface of the earth?
How could there be a place on the earth's surface where the source stone energy value reaches a 'normal' level?
This is the standard environment level where ordinary humans can carry out their daily lives.
He turned around and took a look.
Even the new member of the collection team who almost vomited just now can now walk on his own without looking as weak as before.
And as they continued to advance, the value of the Originium energy recorder on their wrists even tended to get lower and lower.
What's going on?
Amiya, who was always leading the way, marched without saying a word.
According to their intelligence, when the natural disaster occurred, Namo Island, which belonged to the Phantom Organization, was within the range of the natural disaster.
Even if it is a small natural disaster, with such a rapid formation speed, there is no chance of survival.
But now, even though it was less than three hours before the natural disaster struck, they didn't even see the wreckage or trajectory of Namo Island.
What happened?
"Amiya! Look over there!"
Ya Dao suddenly pointed in a direction, and Amiya turned her head.
The body suddenly froze in place.
What came into view was a mountain of sand that was scattered but still piled in place.
The pit in the middle is about three to four meters deep and has a diameter of more than twenty meters. However, it is surrounded by a large amount of sand and gravel accumulation like a city wall, which still makes the sand mountain about five or six meters above the ground, like a miniature crater rising from the ground.
Around this crater, there are still traces carved on the ground during the fierce battle.
Punch pits, explosion pits, scratches as straight as a knife blade, burn marks that are extremely small to the eye but penetrate three to four meters into the ground, holes carved out when the human body hits the ground, and drag marks that stretch for nearly a hundred meters.
Everyone in the A4 action team present, as well as Amiya herself, are all experienced warriors, and have seen far more battle scenes than ordinary people imagine.
However, even so, when they saw the ground that was like a giant dragon rolling around, with bumps and bumps, and not round at all, they all coincidentally did not immediately connect these traces to the 'battle'
superior.
It was not until after a precise inspection that all traces of man-made Source Stone energy remained inside these pits that Amiya and others had no choice but to conclude that these were traces left by humans.
After realizing this, Amiya and the others couldn't help but stand there, staring intently at the circular sand mountain in the center of the battlefield.
They all thought of one thing.
Is this... a natural disaster?
Ya Dao stared in shock, his face full of disbelief.
The surrounding professional research members were also stagnant in place. A few younger members even almost stepped into the sandy crater in front of them.
They have all seen natural disasters.
Meteorites formed by natural disasters still maintain their intact form even after falling to the ground.
Because everything inside is filled with extremely hard source stones.
It is for this reason that natural disasters are the main source of Origin Stones. It is also for this reason that raw stones falling from the sky become the sharpest weapons in the sky, capable of defeating all enemies.
But, what is the situation now?
The meteorite formed by the natural disaster was shattered.
It became a pile of gravel.
This is something they have never seen before.
Amiya stared blankly at the sandy crater surrounding the crater like a city wall, holding her hands tightly.
"Yes..."
"Only him."
She murmured in a low voice, and the report she had read before came to mind again.
Namu Island, which belongs to the Fantasy Organization, is at the center of a special natural disaster.
Amiya looked at the shattered natural disaster meteorite in front of her, and her mind suddenly recalled the man's peaceful and silent smile that day.
Now that I think about it, he was so reserved and aloof.
The meaning in Amiya's eyes was inexplicably complicated, and even the tone of her voice when talking to herself was a little heavy.
