"Nation-destroying level..."
These three words caused a heavy blow to Lu Xin's heart.
Now Lu Xin is not considered a newcomer to the Special Pollution Cleanup industry in any aspect, so he naturally knows this division.
Generally speaking, ability users who only work in High Wall City help deal with some sudden special pollution. The pollution incidents they usually come into contact with are at most level one, two, three, and four, which generally correspond to the DCBA level of the ability user.
But just like the ability of an esper, after reaching S level, it suddenly becomes impossible to plan, the same is true for special pollution.
S-level ability users represent no solution and the unknown.
Special pollution exceeding Level 4 often represents a threat that cannot be calculated and cannot be reflected in data.
Therefore, accordingly, several bloody words appeared.
City-slaughtering level.
Nation-destroying level.
These level definitions all have an intuitive and heavy concept.
City-slaughtering level is a kind of special pollution that can swallow up the entire High Wall City in a short time if allowed to develop.
Nation-destroying level refers to special pollution that can destroy a country.
Of course, this type of special pollution does not necessarily mean that the power of Pollution Source can destroy a city or a country in one breath. Special pollution is special pollution, and its expression has always shown a complex and diverse way.
For example, City-slaughtering level can refer to a sudden outbreak of pollution that is enough to destroy a city and is unstoppable.
It can also refer to the spread of a mysterious pollution that doesn't know how to stop it.
The methods are different, but the threat is the same, so the level is the same.
Lu Xin was slightly startled when he saw the definition of "Nation-destroying level" and felt doubtful in his heart.
Country is a concept. Even in the pre-civilization era, the area of a country may be large or small.
Therefore, Nation-destroying level often refers to a disaster that has endless potential to spread and whose threats cannot be planned at all.
This is a level that military power cannot counter.
What kind of pollution did Sea Nation encounter before Qinggang gave it such a definition?
"There is Xiangxi's information at the back. Mr. Shanbing can take a look."
Han Bing explained softly, "Because the security mission of this experiment is very important, and Mr. Single Soldier is the biggest guarantee, so the process of the experiment, as well as the experimental target information we are about to face, are all here for your reference..."
Lu Xin nodded slightly, turned over the top page, and saw the event information below.
Sea Nation Special Pollution Event: Mermaid's Curse
Threat: Nation-destroying level
Mission description: This pollution incident occurred before Sea Nation S-level ability users attacked Qinggang. Because Qinggang was unreasonably attacked by Sea Nation, Qinggang sent an advance team to fight back. After the advance team arrived at Sea Nation, they discovered that a major pollution incident had occurred here. Except for women, children, the elderly and the weak, men between the ages of 18 and 55 had fallen into madness, and even showed signs of various abnormalities.
Please note: The contaminated population is Sea Nation all men aged between 18 and 55 years old.
"All means everything?"
After seeing this task description, Lu Xin was already a little surprised.
Isn't this kind of pollution not subject to geographical restrictions or population restrictions?
Continuing to turn to the back, he saw another report. This should be the report brought back by the first group of people who came into contact with Sea Nation. It was mentioned above that when they first arrived at Sea Nation, they made a clear distinction between them and Old Captain and told everything truthfully.
Sea Nation is subject to a special curse.
singing.
The incident was first recorded three years ago, when a man with a Sea Nation began hearing a strange singing voice.
The singing comes from the vast sea. According to the investigation of those who heard the singing, the singing has no specific tone or even a fixed pitch. It is just a gentle whisper of a female voice, but it has the most beautiful timbre in the world.
Hearing this kind of singing will make people feel happy and energetic.
Therefore, many people in Sea Nation at that time thought it was a gift from God and regarded it as one of countless wonderful legends on the sea. But as time goes by, this gift has a strange aspect. These men who hear the singing will be excited at first and show a state of mental activity that exceeds that of ordinary people. However, after becoming excited, they will periodically fall into emptiness and numbness.
This goes back and forth, getting deeper and deeper.
Forget about working, gradually lose response to external stimulation, just waiting for the song to come all day long.
Sea Nation The command team of the main ship was not careless. They had already dispatched an investigation team at the earliest time when this kind of singing appeared. However, the results proved that neither the mental detection equipment nor the most sensitive sound detector found the existence of this kind of singing. In other words, these singing voices were most likely just auditory hallucinations of these men, appearing in their minds.
It is normal to have auditory hallucinations at sea, but it is strange for most people to experience auditory hallucinations at the same time.
What is even more frightening is that this phenomenon is spreading rapidly. The Sea Nation main ship command team has carried out several operations, either to isolate men who have experienced auditory hallucinations, to provide them with psychological counseling, or to directly torture and torture them.
But to no avail, more and more people heard the singing, almost spreading to the entire Sea Nation.
Sea Nation's Old Captain even sent out S-level ability user Shen Ming. However, after some investigation, this depressed ability user said pessimistically that he had no idea where the singing came from and how to solve it. On the other hand, even he himself heard the singing, but the singing had a relatively small pollution effect on him...
So Sea Nation fell completely into despair.
All men in this country between the ages of eighteen and fifty-five are losing all power to work.
They seemed to see a giant getting weak, falling down little by little, but there was nothing they could do.
Because this ethereal singing sound is very similar to the sound made by the legendary mermaid when it seduces sailors at sea.
So this kind of pollution is called "Mermaid's Curse" by them.
They are unable to solve the problem themselves and dare not ask for help.
First, I thought that such a large area of terrible pollution would arouse the vigilance of other High Wall City.
Second, this kind of fatal pollution to a country also means that a country is completely losing its vitality.
Even if High Wall City is willing to lend a helping hand, Sea Nation will probably be devoured after being cured.
In this desperate situation, Sea Nation and Old Captain gathered their last strength and made preparations to attack Qinggang.
If the attack is successful, Sea Nation will take control of Qinggang and use Qinggang's scientific and technological power to solve pollution.
No matter how bad it is, you can keep Sea Nation away from the sea. Maybe if you stay away from the sea, the pollution will disappear?
The attack failed, and Sea Nation's mess was left to Qinggang, and Old Captain was equally relieved.
After all, Qinggang was carefully selected by him.
It has been a long time since the Sea Nation attack.
But Lu Xin only now understands the origins of the entire attack.
He was slightly surprised. "It turned out that they were in such big trouble, so... how is the situation now?"
Han Bing said, "After the attack, Qinggang has already started to accept and investigate Sea Nation. The old, weak, women and children who were determined not to be contaminated have been taken out and placed in a temporary Satellite City southeast of Main City."
Hearing her say that, Lu Xin finally remembered.
After going back and forth between Main City and Satellite City No. 2 several times, he also saw a huge base being built.
I didn't expect it to be used to house those Sea Nation elderly women and children.
Originally he thought it was used for growing vegetables...
"As for those Sea Nation men who have been contaminated, there is nothing we can do about them now..."
Han Bing continued, "After all, the pollution they received was too deep, and the pollution was too mysterious. It was impossible for Qinggang to risk being implicated by allowing them to come into contact with people in Qinggang. Therefore, even for the investigation, Professor Bai led a team of experts to Sea Nation to conduct it. In the previous confrontation between us and Technological Church, Professor Bai came back late, and this was the reason."
"Huh?"
Lu Xin was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but said, "Professor Bai dared to go to such a dangerous place, it's amazing..."
"The investigation team is mostly composed of women, and Professor Bai is fifty-six years old..."
Han Bing explained, "So he thinks he is fairly safe."
"..."
Lu Xin I don't know how to answer. What if the investigation report left by Sea Nation is inaccurate?
But thinking about Professor Bai's level and caution, I felt that I didn't have to worry about him.
So he asked seriously, "What is the current investigation result?"
"It's roughly the same as the investigation report left by Sea Nation..."
Han Bing replied seriously, "The situation at Sea Nation is already very serious, and it is certain that there is terrible pollution. However, even the expert team led by Professor Bai has not detected any obvious abnormalities. All that can be determined now is that that kind of singing does not exist in reality, and there are no mermaids or other magical creatures in the surrounding seas, or Pollution Source..."
"That kind of singing only exists in the mind of Sea Nation man..."
"Through experiments on some of these individuals, whether it is keeping them away from the sea, receiving comfort from professional psychologists, or even cutting out their memories of a certain stage, etc., it is impossible to completely remove the songs from their minds."
"So, Professor Bai came up with the idea of combining the first phase of Heavenly Kingdom Plan's experiments with the cleanup of Sea Nation's contamination."
"Only in a certain field, the strongest will can directly erase these songs."
"Only by using the power of Mental Lord and setting up firewalls in their minds can we resist this invisible pollution."
"..."
Having said this, Han Bing raised his head slightly, looked at Lu Xin seriously, and said, "That is to say, Mr. Single Soldier."
"Our experiment is Sea Nation's last hope."
Lu Xin nodded slowly.
Being able to force a country to this level of pollution does sound very scary...
Everyone, have you eaten?
