In the training room.
Shen Heng sat by the window, his gaze wandering as he watched the figures come and go, and suddenly seemed to understand something.
The spatial instability of the Erosion Zone is mainly reflected in two aspects: the upper limit of instantaneous energy intensity and the upper limit of total spatial energy.
Specifically, it means:
The upper limit of instantaneous energy intensity determines the upper limit of the power of attacks that can be released within the Erosion Zone;
The upper limit of the total spatial energy determines how many and to what extent life forms can exist in the Erosion Zone.
The former determines the depth, and the latter determines the width.
There should be a strong correlation between the two upper limits, but they are not entirely equivalent.
Shen Heng's eyes flickered slightly, and he gained a deeper understanding of the situation in the Erosion Zone.
He slightly raised his eyes, his gaze falling on the figures disembarking from the military transport planes.
"So... is headquarters trying to reduce the number of Calamity Beast in the Erosion Zone by bringing in a large number of low-level personnel?"
Thinking of this, a hint of admiration flashed in Shen Heng's eyes.
To devise this method requires a fundamental understanding of the battle situation within the Erosion Zone, as well as a profound grasp of the spatial structure within that Erosion Zone.
This method would not have been conceived if any one of these points were missing.
He had previously understood the first point, but lacked sufficient understanding of the second point, which prevented him from coming up with this method.
However... a deep understanding of the space within the Erosion Zone?
Shen Heng's eyes flickered, and a person flashed through his mind.
Yan Yu?
He let out a soft breath, then looked up again at the slowly closing hatch of the military transport plane.
However, this time his eyes held a hint of seriousness.
If this method continues, it should indeed limit the number of Calamity Beast, however...
Attention all members! Attention all members!
The announcement suddenly echoed across the base.
An inspector practicing his training, an ordinary soldier walking on the road, a figure just stepping off a plane...
One after another, figures stopped what they were doing, turned their heads to look in the direction from which the sound came, and listened carefully.
The announcement continued.
"A beast horde is expected to attack the city in the next two days. All members are advised to make appropriate arrangements for their tasks!"
"To reiterate, the situation is expected to..."
"Huff... huff..."
Han Ling stood there, slightly out of breath, looking out the window with a puzzled expression.
Beside her, Lin Zhaoran also looked out the window with a puzzled expression.
"What's going on?" Yu Yanhui to the two of them, puzzled. "A possible Calamity Beast is predicted? If it's going to appear, then so be it, why is it predicted?"
At this point, she paused slightly, as if she had thought of something. Her eyes widened, and she looked at Lin Zhaoran and Han Ling with some excitement.
Could it be that they've developed the ability to foresee the future?
"It shouldn't be," Lin Zhaoran frowned slightly. "Precognition... such an ability shouldn't exist. Even if it did, it should have strong side effects. Otherwise, without any limitations, wouldn't it be invincible?"
"So what if there are side effects? What's wrong?" Yu Yanhui looked at Lin Zhaoran with some confusion.
"If there were side effects, we wouldn't have let him predict such trivial matters as whether there would be a beast tide," Lin Zhaoran said coldly.
It's not that we shouldn't worry about the beast tide, but with Shen Heng present, a safe distance of 50km is enough for them to have ample time to prepare.
Listening to their conversation, Han Ling silently gazed out the window for a while, then her gaze shifted and looked in one direction.
The next moment, she was slightly taken aback, and saw a figure stand up and walk towards them in the direction she was looking.
"I'm going to the command center!"
A familiar, calm voice rang in my ears.
Having experienced this many times before, Han Ling nodded habitually.
Yu Yanhui blinked beside her.
The command center? I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to go there in my lifetime...
After leaving the training room, Shen Heng went straight to the command center.
Surprisingly, the Daoist priest was also there this time.
Shen Heng had seen Li Daoyi many times in the past few days, but this was the first time he had seen him in the command center.
With Li Daoyi's eyebrows, Shen Heng nodded in acknowledgment, then turned his gaze to Zhang Weijun.
The two sides had met and communicated several times, and Zhang Weijun didn't stand on ceremony and started talking directly.
"You heard the announcement just now, what are your thoughts?"
Shen Heng paused briefly, then said, "Regarding my previous question, the base is currently reducing and controlling the number of Calamity Beast by bringing in a large number of low-level personnel from outside?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the command center looked over with slight surprise.
"How did you know?" the slightly overweight officer asked Shen Heng.
"Because I've noticed that in the last two days, a large number of personnel have been transported in via military transport planes, and then..."
Shen Heng paused for a moment, then continued:
"Just now, I sensed a slight fluctuation in the space. This fluctuation should be a sign that the number of creatures the Erosion Zone can accommodate is nearing its limit, right?"
Sensing spatial fluctuations?... Zhang Weijun and the other two officers exchanged glances, then looked at Li Daoyi sitting to the side.
Li Daoyi, who had been lounging on the stool, had somehow sat up straight, his brows furrowed as he looked at Shen Heng.
"You can even sense spatial fluctuations?"
Uh, this... is it special?... This thought flashed through Shen Heng's mind. He nodded slightly, then looked at Li Daoyi with some doubt.
"Daoist Master, can't you sense it?"
"After some fluctuations occurred in the space around the Erosion Zone, I could barely sense some subtle abnormalities, but I couldn't perceive anything specific."
Li Daoyi first explained his situation, then raised his hand and lightly tugged at his beard.
"You little brat, how can you even sense this?"
"Hmm..." Shen Heng pondered for a moment, then said, "It should be a problem with the Configuration and the ability."
" Configuration, abilities?" Li Daoyi narrowed his eyes, his gaze sweeping over Shen Heng intently from head to toe.
He then leaned back in his chair again.
"Alright, you can continue talking now."
Zhang Weijun turned his gaze back and said:
"Yes, as you predicted, we have indeed been trying to limit the number of Calamity Beast using this method recently, and it seems to be showing initial success. However, this also brings a problem..."
Zhang Weijun paused here, not continuing, but looking at Shen Heng, waiting for his reply.
Shen Heng spoke up:
"Because we brought in a large number of people, we forced the Calamity Beast to stop its summoning of Calamity Beast, and..."
