Pohnpei Island is located in the western Pacific Ocean, close to the equator, and under normal circumstances it is difficult for typhoons to occur.

Because the causes of typhoons include the Coriolis force, also known as the Coriolis force, which is the force that causes the vortex to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise.

The higher the latitude, the stronger the Coriolis force, and the Coriolis force is the smallest at the equator.

Under normal circumstances, typhoons will not occur in areas within five degrees of latitude of the equator. Pohnpei Island is located near six degrees north latitude. According to historical records, there have been only a handful of typhoons there, and most of them are tropical cyclones at the equator. Although they also cause heavy rains, compared with typhoons, it is difficult for them to form a clear eye, and the changes in air pressure and temperature are not significant, so the destructive power is much smaller.

However, in October and November last year, a rare huge typhoon appeared in the western Pacific Ocean. From the satellite cloud map at that time, it could be seen that the huge cyclone stretched across the vast sea area between the Solomon Islands and Hawaii, bringing a rare storm to this sea area that is rare in a thousand years.

At that time, even the largest cargo ships could not withstand the attack of the storm. More than 90% of the routes in the Pacific Ocean were directly suspended, and the number of ships that suffered shipwrecks far exceeded the total of the past ten years. In comparison, the accident of the Stars was considered minor.

"A typhoon is coming, keep the windows closed."

The hotel owner sighed and said that perhaps he had learned more after what happened last year and would not make a fuss about it.

Lu Ban first called Qin Tiantian in China, told her about the situation here, and asked her to continue watching the employees. Although Qin Tiantian's assurances were good, Lu Ban turned on the live broadcast just in case. He saw that Qin Tiantian was broadcasting the participatory APEX, and Lu Ban was quite familiar with several of the IDs in the broadcast.

"Forget it, as long as I can get the job done."

According to the current progress, the final production work will definitely be completed before September, which will be enough to bring a big gift to people all over the world around Christmas, so Lu Ban is not in a hurry.

The call signal was getting worse and worse. Lu Ban looked at the news and saw that the eye of the typhoon was already clearly visible. The huge storm was even worse than last year. Before noon, heavy rain came.

Lu Ban had never seen such a heavy rain.

The bean-sized raindrops hit the glass, making tinkling sounds like bullets. Even if the windows were closed tightly, the wind would still come in through the only gap, making a high-pitched and sharp roar. The air was filled with the damp and fishy smell of sea water. From time to time, you could see something in the sky being blown away and blown towards the infinitely high sky.

A little further away, the rain had blocked most of the view. The falling rain was like a waterfall, isolating the entire island. Occasionally, a loud noise could be heard, which was the sound of trees being blown down by the roots.

Lu Ban's [True Vision] can see more clearly.

On the beach in the distance, all the tourist facilities have been destroyed, the wooden houses have been blown down, the golden beach has been covered with a deep layer of black, the sea water has become as turbid as ink, and the huge waves make people feel the powerful oppression of nature.

When Lu Ban was in school, he used to look forward to typhoon days, because if a typhoon made landfall, classes might be suspended and the school would have to go on holiday.

But if he really faced a typhoon like he is now, he would definitely not think typhoon days are so pleasant.

In the distant sky, the speed of the cloud movement is visible to the naked eye. The black clouds wrapped in bright silver lightning disappear in a flash. Heavy rain falls from the clouds, and together with the tide, it dyes the sea and the sky the same color.

In a storm like this, the thought of leaving the house and going outside is simply insane.

Lu Ban looked towards the port. Most of the ships had already moved to the shore, and a small number of larger ships had already been anchored in the port. However, the waves were too big, and the ships were floating up and down, occasionally hitting the pier, as if they would take on water and sink at any time.

As for the Nan Madol ruins on the mountain, they actually emit a green glow in this dark and profound world.

The green light was so conspicuous in the storm, like a city from ancient times that had come back to life.

No, that's not an illusion.

Lu Ban observed the buildings carefully and immediately discovered that the density of these buildings seemed to have increased compared to before, as if the buildings had split, grown and replicated under the baptism of the storm.

"Time is up."

Feng Yu stood beside Lu Ban and looked at the dark green buildings outside the window.

I don’t know if it was Lu Ban’s illusion, but Feng Yu looked a little pale at this moment, and had a sense of fragility that was different from the past.

"Did you hear that?"

Feng Yu looked at Lu Ban. Her originally dark eyes now showed a hint of red, like blood that had not yet coagulated. The shape of her pupils was definitely not that of a human, but more like that of some ancient being with an ancient history and a long life.

Lu Ban was startled, then listened carefully.

Amid the whimpering sound like a baby crying caused by the storm hitting the windows, there was a kind of whispering sound.

It was like a prayer from a primitive tribe, soft and unrecognizable, with a sense of sublimity and weirdness.

Lu Ban soon realized that the sound was not an illusion, but came from downstairs.

He immediately took Laika downstairs. The short-legged dog plopped down the stairs. Lu Ban followed behind it and soon witnessed the change.

The innkeeper, who was originally working normally, was now in an abnormally twisted posture. He stood at the door of the inn, worshiping in the direction of the ruins amidst the wind and heavy rain. His head knocked on the ground, blood and rain mixed together, and what he muttered was exactly the whisper that Lu Ban heard.

“■■■■■!”

The whispering sound that no one could hear, at this moment, in the world with storm as the background sound, actually appeared solemn and holy.

Lu Ban pressed the hotel owner's shoulder and the other person turned around.

The face that had turned blue due to the cold, the eyes had no whites, and the two dark holes reflected Lu Ban's figure. He did not open his mouth, but a murmuring sound kept coming from his throat, which made people wonder that even if he was killed by having his throat cut and became a corpse, he would probably continue to pray.

"The people on this island are usually normal humans. It is only at this time that they show the marks left by their ancestors."

Feng Yu came down behind Lu Ban at some point. Her voice was very soft, but it covered the rhythm of the storm and allowed Lu Ban to hear it clearly.

Looking over the shoulder of the innkeeper, Lu Ban saw that the people on the island were standing in the storm, letting the strong wind and rain hit their bodies. They did not react at all, but continued to worship the ruins of the building in the center of the island.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and hit the building in the center of the island.

However, the broken walls and ruins were not damaged at all. Instead, Lu Ban saw that the dark green light became even brighter. Besides that, he also saw something else.

No, some people.

Three people appeared at the place where the lightning had just struck.

They appeared in the ruins accompanied by lightning!

"Is this what you want to show me?"

Lu Ban turned around and asked Feng Yu.

"Let's go."

Feng Yu did not answer, but just pointed at the ruins.
