In the 6215th year of the Xia calendar,

at the northernmost tip of Penglaizhou, a large beach was crowded with tens of thousands of creatures. There were ordinary wild beasts and some advanced monsters.

They were all crowded on the beach in fear. Many creatures had been squeezed into the sea and made miserable cries, but the creatures behind were still squeezing forward.

Waves appeared on the ground farther away, like waves, very strange. After a while, hooks appeared from the ground, and an eye appeared on the hooks, looking around.

"Bang"

After a while, the hook suddenly shot out and directly hooked a monster. No matter how it struggled, it still dragged it into the ground.

With the appearance of the first hook, more and more hooks appeared. One by one, creatures were stared at and hung by the hooks, and then dragged away. The remaining creatures became more and more panicked. Even if many creatures were afraid of water, they instinctively rushed into the sea and disappeared.

When the beach was cleared, a ground worm emerged from the ground. It was very different from before. Its body was much larger, its skin glowed with gold, and an eye appeared on the top of its mouthparts, looking around cunningly.

"Plop"

, the ground worm rushed into the sea very quickly. In a large area of ​​Penglai Island, almost all creatures were eaten by them. They had to find a new habitat, otherwise they would starve to death.

As the first ground worm rushed into the sea, other ground worms also appeared one after another and rushed into the sea one after another. This scene was captured by the satellite in the sky.

One day later, a cultivator from Yingzhou appeared on the beach on the north shore of Penglai Island with a group of people.

"Sir, it's earthworms, lots of them."

"Sir, weren't the earthworms wiped out? They were destroyed with the magic tree by a big shot from Shenzhou."

After investigating, several people said to the leading cultivator. A few years ago, a big shot from Shenzhou came to Penglaizhou. Many people saw that big shot destroyed the magic tree that dominated Penglaizhou with a single sword. That magic tree had devoured hundreds of cultivators who came from Yingzhou to take risks.

"I'm not sure, but there are traces of earthworms in front of me. The remaining aura of these earthworms is so strong, stronger than mine,"

the man said. He was a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage cultivated by Yingzhou, but he still felt frightened when he saw the aura left by the earthworms.

"Sir, what should we do?"

"Go deep into Penglai Island to explore. Bring your equipment with you so as not to be contaminated by nuclear radiation,"

the man said. The information about the earthworms entering the sea was passed from Shenzhou to Yingzhou. He received an order from Li Qing to come and explore in person. He did not dare to just take a look and run away. He had to go deep into Penglai Island to explore.

········ Lin Jiang

in Harbor City

was listening to a work report from a technology tycoon. This tycoon was studying biology. The reason for listening to his report was that not long ago, Zhou Liao's Academy of Sciences announced that they had effectively controlled the nuclear pollution in the Zhenlong City area.

The news said that Zhou Liao had discovered a kind of moss that can absorb radioactive substances in the soil and air. They have been conducting research for many years and have absorbed the radioactive substances near Zhenlong City to a safe level.

"Do you mean that this moss is really useful and Zhou Liao is not bluffing?"

"Yes, sir, but I think Zhou Liao's data is still a bit fake. This moss is useful, but they don't have enough time..."

"I understand, thank you."

Lin Jiang nodded. The man on the other side meant very clearly that the moss was useful, but Zhou Liao was eager for success and announced it to the public without completely clearing it.

The reason is also very simple. Zhenlong City is one of Zhou Liao's most important industrial areas. It was destroyed by the awakening of the demon clan before. Many nuclear weapons were dropped near Zhenlong City, and the pollution was very serious.

Because of the superior geographical conditions over there, Zhou Liao was unwilling to give up this place, so he kept governing it, but there was no improvement before. Now there is improvement, but it can't reach the safety standard at all. They just do this for the sake of profit.

"Secretary, go and notify the Chinese officials, let them cooperate with the Zhou Liao officials, get samples of this moss, we will cultivate it ourselves, the quantity must be large, and special funds will be allocated."

Lin Jiang quickly notified the secretary and asked them to ask Zhou Liao for samples. They also want to cultivate a large amount of this moss, the more the better.

"Are you planning to redevelop Penglaizhou?"

"Yes, let's practice with Fangzhangzhou first, Penglaizhou is the last one."

Lin Jiang directly admitted to Cao Ying's question that there were many factors for Lin Jiang not to nuke the monsters in Fangzhangzhou on a large scale.

There were also environmental considerations. Lin Jiang was afraid of nuclear winter and the land would be completely polluted, which would not be restored for thousands of years. If that were the case, Lin Jiang would be under great pressure, Shenzhou would be under great pressure, and China would also be under great pressure.

China's population is not actually large. Compared with the current territory, the population of several billion is enough to be called sparsely populated. However, China's population has been continuously increasing, and sooner or later it will be overcrowded. Fangzhangzhou and Penglaizhou must be taken back. In

the past, we were worried about nuclear pollution. Now that we have a way to deal with it, we naturally need to prepare more. In case one day when we need it, we can nuke Fangzhangzhou.

"Some time ago, there were earthworms in Penglai Island that entered the sea. I suspect they entered Yingzhou,"

Cao Ying said. She was very familiar with the earthworms in Penglai Island. She had been to Penglai Island before and killed them. These earthworms were very powerful, very aggressive, grew quickly, and had strong recovery abilities. It was difficult for ordinary cultivators to deal with them.

"I also know about this. I have reminded Li Qing. If she has no means to deal with this matter, then it is her incompetence,"

Lin Jiang said. Lin Jiang knew about the earthworms, and it was he who ordered Yingzhou to be notified, because Yingzhou did not have the ability to launch satellites, and only commissioned China to launch a few satellites to decorate the window.

"The monsters in the nuclear contaminated area mutate very quickly. This is indeed something to be vigilant about. It is also a good thing to deal with the nuclear contamination as soon as possible. Then I will go and see if I can cultivate those mosses into spiritual medicines."

"It is probably difficult. Don't waste time. You should practice more and leave other things to professionals."

Lin Jiang said. In theory, flowers, trees, snakes, insects, rats, ants, and stones can all become spirits and monsters, but in fact, their chances are very small. It is difficult for plants to become monsters, let alone mosses. There is almost no chance.

"Without external help, the progress of Hedao is too slow."

Cao Ying shook his head. The later the practice, the slower the speed. Geniuses can form infants within a hundred years, but they can try to advance in the Hedao realm. Don't even think about it. It is difficult to advance a small level without hundreds of years.
