On this day, the calm sea surface suddenly became extremely strange.
The sun hung high in the blue sky, blazing brightly and mercilessly shedding its blazing rays. Unlike its usual warmth and gentleness, the sunlight now seemed infused with violent energy, bringing with it a scorching heat wave that mercilessly destroyed everything on the earth.
Under the onslaught of this heat wave, the temperature at the sea surface suddenly rose. It was as if an invisible force was frantically heating the sea, causing the originally cool water to gradually become warm. As time passed, the temperature of the sea continued to rise, as if a boiling force surged deep under the sea, pushing the water to gradually become boiling hot.
In this heatwave-shrouded sea, the fish that once roamed leisurely began to grow restless, heading for the deep sea in search of coolness. Seagulls on the surface also felt the threat of the heatwave and struggled to fly, seeking refuge from the heat.
In this sea area ravaged by the heat wave, the sea water gradually became as hot as boiling soup. This abnormally high temperature not only made marine life feel unbearable, but also had a serious impact on the ecosystem of this sea area.
The creatures within the coral reefs felt an unprecedented crisis. The vibrant corals' once hard shells softened under the intense heat, their shapes gradually warping and their beautiful colors fading. The coral's inhabitants, such as hermit crabs and sea snails, fled, their footprints leaving a trail of chaos and panic on the beach.
Fish in the deep sea also began to suffer. The scales of those adapted to cold water conditions dried and brittle in the heat. Some even floated to the surface, belly up, unable to endure the intense heat. The temperature fluctuations disrupted the physiological functions of marine life, causing them to behave erratically. Some fled in all directions, while others remained motionless, as if awaiting their end.
Deep within the Coral Secret Realm, dwells an elderly octopus. He has witnessed the transformations of this sea, yet now feels powerless to stop them. With his tentacles, he caresses the corals around him, warped by the intense heat, his eyes filled with sorrow. The octopus knows this disaster will bring irreparable damage to the Coral Secret Realm.
As time went on, the sea surface temperature continued to climb, reaching 70 degrees Celsius. Under such high temperatures, the survival of marine life became precarious. Some creatures, unable to adapt to the changing environment, died, their bodies floating on the sea surface, creating a tragic scene.
This disaster completely disrupted the ecological balance of the Coral Secret Realm. Organisms adapted to high temperatures gradually became dominant, while the once thriving cold-water species gradually disappeared. The Coral Secret Realm was completely transformed, and its former tranquility and harmony could never be restored.
Xiao Yi drove the speedboat, struggling forward in the rotten and smelly ocean.
The sky was shrouded in a leaden haze, and the clouds hung low and heavy, as if carrying a tremendous force that threatened to crush the already fragile sea at any moment. The sea was no longer rippling with blue waves, but rather seemed lifeless, as if even the waves had lost their vitality and only pounded feebly against the rocks.
The air was filled with a suffocating stench, the odor of decaying marine life. The ocean, which should have been filled with a refreshing breeze, was now filled with the odor of decay and death. This odor mixed with the acrid smell of acid rain, forming a toxic gas that made people want to vomit.
In this murky sea, the cries of seabirds also became extremely desolate. They circled in the air, searching for food, but it was difficult for them to find anything in this dead sea. Occasionally, a few seabirds fell to the sea due to exhaustion and never flew up again.
In this harsh environment, the marine ecosystem has also suffered serious damage. The once thriving coral reefs have become pale and weak, and marine life has fled this dead land in search of new living spaces.
The speedboat created streaks of white waves on the sea, but these waves were quickly eroded by the acid rain, turning yellow and then disappearing into the sea. Xiao Yi's vision was blurred by the acid rain, and he had to wipe his eyes frequently to barely see the road ahead.
The surrounding sea surface was littered with the decaying remains of various organisms: fish, shellfish, and even the carcasses of some seabirds. Their carcasses, eroded by acid rain, had been distorted beyond recognition. The seawater was teeming with bacteria and viruses, and these remains became a breeding ground for them, constantly creating new dangers.
Xiao Yi's heart was filled with despair and powerlessness. He knew that this ocean had completely lost its former vitality and vigor, and had become a place full of death and terror. He didn't know if he could survive in this rotten and stinking ocean, but he knew that he had to strive to survive, for the sake of those living creatures and for himself.
Suddenly, a strong wind swept in, mixed with the pungent smell of acid rain and the stench of the ocean, almost suffocating Xiao Yi. He gripped the steering wheel of the speedboat tightly, trying to maintain the course. He knew that in this rotten and stinking ocean, every acid rain attack was a test of life and death. He had to remain vigilant at all times to survive this disaster.
As the speedboat continued to move forward, Xiao Yi gradually discovered some patterns. The acid rain attacks seemed to have a certain periodicity, and there would be a period of rest after each attack. He took advantage of these rest periods to speed up the speedboat and try to escape this sea of death.
However, as night fell, the acid rain attacks became more frequent and violent. Xiao Yi had to dock the speedboat on a relatively safe island and wait for the arrival of dawn. He lay exhausted on the speedboat, looking at the acid rain falling from the sky, his heart filled with endless fear and despair.
