Chapter 984 Alarmist
The people of Guihai City have noticed something wrong in the past few days. The dimensional areas on land are fine, but in those dimensional areas in the sea, there are no dimensional creatures.
All the dimensional creatures in the sea seemed to disappear at once.
Places like Poseidon Reef, Undersea Blue Hole, Infinite Island, etc. are all empty, and there is almost no sign of any dimensional creatures.
The Hui family contacted all the families in Guihai City to discuss countermeasures, and the Feng family was also worried about the disappearance of Feng Qiuyan and Qin Ling. They had sent people to search everywhere, but they still could not find the whereabouts of the two.
"The situation in the Seven Dragon Sea is very strange now. All the dimensional creatures have disappeared. Tell me, what does this mean?" Grandpa Hui glanced at the core members of each family.
"The disappearance of dimensional creatures is a good thing for us. We don't rely on the dimensional field in the sea. We just need to guard the dimensional field and mineral deposits on the shore." said a family head named Liu.
"That's what I said, but I'm afraid those dimensional creatures in the sea will cause trouble again." said an old man from the Feng family.
"What could possibly happen? They are, after all, dimensional creatures from the sea. Only a small number have the ability to fight outside the water. Once most of them reach shore, their combat effectiveness is greatly reduced, so they pose no danger to us." The Liu family head paused and said, "Besides, haven't we already made preparations? Even if Guihai City really can't be defended, we can retreat into the dimensional realm on land. You've all been operating there for a long time, so it should be no problem, right?"
"Brother Liu is right. After all, those things are from the sea. If they rush up, they will just turn around and leave. Can they grow legs and compete with us for territory?" Another family head also spoke up.
Everyone started talking at once, and most people felt that they should stay and wait and see. Even if something really happened, it would not be too late to retreat then.
"I think we should evacuate immediately." A different voice sounded, and everyone looked at the person who made the voice. They saw that the speaker was a young man about twenty years old. Most people knew that he was Hui Haifeng from the Hui family.
"Master Feng, what do you mean?" The head of the Liu family looked at Hui Haifeng and asked.
Hui Haifeng took out a small bottle and held it in his hand so that everyone could see clearly what was inside the bottle.
The bottle was not big, about the same size as a mineral water bottle, and it was also filled with water, but there was a mushroom-shaped object in the water, just like the experimental subjects he had shown Zhou Wen before.
However, the thing was supposed to be white originally, but now it has a light golden hue, which looks very strange.
"What is this?" Grandpa Hui asked Hui Haifeng.
He knew that Hui Haifeng was doing research, and he supported Hui Haifeng, but he never thought that Hui Haifeng could really come up with something.
"Grandpa, this is a fungus sample I cultivated by extracting elements from marine plants. Originally, it takes at least a year for these fungi to evolve from a spore to its current appearance. But this test product, I just started to cultivate it this morning, and it has already evolved to this level. Something extraordinary must have happened in the Seven Dragon Sea. It is very likely that the dimensional creatures in the sea will undergo large-scale evolution, so we must evacuate immediately." Hui Haifeng said seriously.
"Master Feng, what you said is a bit too arbitrary. Maybe there is something wrong with your experiment, or it is just an isolated phenomenon and does not necessarily mean anything. Maybe you need more experiments." The head of the Liu family said with some disapproval. He was not interested in so-called scientific research.
He even felt that it was a different era now and scientific research was useless. Now was the age of God and science was no longer effective.
There are many people who think like the head of the Liu family, and most people are unwilling to give up Guihai City and the mines they have run for so many years and evacuate.
After all, Hui Haifeng's speculation was just one of them, and no one knew whether his speculation would come true.
Even if it comes true, it is not too late to leave when they really can't stop the dimensional creatures. They still have the dimensional field they operate on land as a retreat.
"Everyone, you may not know what this evolutionary speed means. Let me give you an analogy. According to the current evolutionary speed, if an ordinary mouse is injected with this element, it will only take three days. Three days, it can evolve into a body and strength like an elephant. If all the creatures in the sea have such an evolutionary speed, do you still have the confidence to evacuate safely under their attack? Do you still have the confidence to defend the dimensional realm?" Hui Haifeng said.
"Master Feng, this is just your speculation. You can't force us to leave our homes based on speculation alone, right?" Patriarch Liu paused for a moment before saying, "How about this? Let's send some skilled watermen to investigate what happened in the sea. If it's really as you say, then it won't be too late for us to leave."
"Yes, what Patriarch Liu said makes sense. Let's investigate it first." Many people supported Patriarch Liu's statement.
In the end, Hui Haifeng was unable to convince them. After all, Guihai City was not controlled by the Huihai family alone. Moreover, even within Huihai, many people felt that Hui Haifeng was being too alarmist.
In fact, many members of the Hui family are very disapproving of the research done by Hui Haifeng.
If Hui Haifeng hadn't paid for his research himself, they definitely wouldn't have asked him to do so many things.
"How is it?" After the meeting, Li Xuan, who was waiting outside, asked Hui Haifeng.
Hui Haifeng shook his head and said, "It's useless. They have been blinded by profit and comfort. They won't believe it unless they see the end of the world with their own eyes."
Li Xuan said depressedly: "What should we do? Lao Zhou and Xiao Yanyan are both missing. Something big must be happening."
"Let's go back to the laboratory first. I need to make some preparations. The important things need to be moved out first and cannot be left here." Hui Haifeng hurried to the laboratory. He knew that he didn't have much time left.
Li Xuan took Yaer and followed Hui Haifeng back to make preparations.
At the same time, Guihai City sent some humans with water abilities into the Seven Dragon Sea to investigate the disappearance of those dimensional creatures.
"What are we investigating? Isn't this unnecessary? It would be better if the dimensional creatures in the sea left, so they don't have to come ashore to harass us every once in a while." said a middle-aged man.
"It's all about that young master from Huihai. He said there were going to be a big change in the sea. There are a lot of mutated dimensional creatures. We've seen them before, so what's the big deal? He even told us to move away from Guihai. I think he's read too much and has made his brain stupid. What's with the prestigious university? It's completely nonsense..."
The others all laughed. They felt that a young master like Hui Haifeng was just good at talking big and giving blind orders.
"What is that?" Suddenly, someone found that there seemed to be something in the sea water in front.
"Sea snake? No, it looks like it has claws. And the color is wrong. Sea snakes are supposed to be blue, but this one looks blue with a hint of gold..."
"It's just a sea snake. Just kill it and take it back for research."
Just as they were about to move, they suddenly saw the strange sea snake rushing out. It was much faster than ordinary sea snakes. Before anyone could react, they were bitten by the sea snake.
