"Easy?" Shen Yi raised his eyebrows and shook his head helplessly.
Looking at the Immortal Lord's expression, Wu Zhao knew that she had said the wrong thing again.
"Do you know what the crisis will be like in more than 20 days?" Shen Yi didn't wait for Wu Zhao to reply, he just raised his finger and tapped lightly.
A picture appeared in Wu Zhao's mind.
It was a prosperous city. Small spaceships flew back and forth among the tall buildings. The ground was densely populated with humans, constantly shuttling between various shops.
A vibrant and prosperous scene.
But, the next moment.
Starting from a certain place, people suddenly fell down in large numbers. Yes, they just fell down like wheat fields flattened by the wind. They fell down in large numbers, and the speed was getting faster and faster. In just a few seconds, the entire city was swept away by humans.
No screams, no fear.
Because it's simply too late.
Wu Zhao couldn't even help holding her breath and clenching her fists tightly. She felt her face distorted and her heartbeat quickening.
That's fear.
It was an indescribable fear, as if some invisible force was squeezing my heart.
Although she already knew the consequences of the end of the world, when she actually saw such a scene, it was still far more terrifying than she had imagined.
It was as if an invisible god of death had taken away everyone's life in an instant, and then there were aircraft crashing into buildings, some of which splashed sparks of explosion, and some simply fell to the ground. Wu Zhao saw some robots constantly calling for ambulances, trying to give first aid to some of the people who had fallen to the bottom, or trying to move some people away, but to no avail.
It was chaos filled with dead silence.
"It took 178 seconds for the toxin to spread throughout the world. Humans exposed to this concentration of toxin will fall into a coma within three seconds, suffer organ failure after five minutes, and cardiac and lung arrest after eight minutes." Shen Yi's calm voice spoke the most terrifying words, "In other words, it took about ten minutes from the release of the toxin to the death of 12 billion people."
Wu Zhao's body was covered with goose bumps one after another.
She had never imagined that human beings could be so fragile.
This is what Su Yao calls an “efficient” means of destroying the world.
even--
Just kill the humans and leave everything else alone.
For those aliens, killing all of humanity in this way is like humans killing 12 billion ants gathered together. They can simply spray some ant-killing poison to kill large numbers of them without even affecting other animals and plants.
"How can we stop it?" Wu Zhao realized that her voice was trembling.
Most human beings can only die like ants in such a sudden massacre.
There wasn't even any pain.
It only takes a few minutes.
However, for the ants who knew about the disaster in advance, what they had to face was great fear and desperate struggle before the disaster struck.
"For humans in this world, there are three biggest difficulties." Shen Yi's voice was still calm. "First, we don't know the characteristics and types of toxins. Second, we don't know how to release the toxins. Third, the toxins take effect for too short a time."
There are three difficulties, each of which will make people despair.
First, this is a toxin specially designed for humans. Even the existing human technology cannot produce it. Therefore, everything is completely unknown. It is even impossible to determine whether this is a chemical poison or some mysterious method.
Second, the way the toxin was released was too strange. It seemed to be spreading around certain points, but the speed of diffusion was completely inconsistent with the normal flow speed of the atmosphere. How could it spread to the world within 178 seconds?
Third, it is impossible to take countermeasures in advance based on the information about the toxin, which means that the crisis must be resolved within these eight minutes. How difficult it is.
This is simply the crushing of a higher civilization over a lower civilization.
It is also necessary to exterminate human beings efficiently, cheaply and with minimal destructiveness.
It did not harm anything else on the planet.
However, it is this kind of crisis that is enough to make people completely despair.
But Su Yao and his team did it.
Wu Zhao felt her mind go blank. Fear, confusion, puzzlement, and all kinds of unspeakable emotions kept pouring out. Shen Yi didn't say anything, just looked at her.
In the end, Wu Zhao calmed herself down.
He said tentatively: "Su Yao and the others probably relied on luck."
The Supreme Federation possesses everything that Su Yao and his friends have, but in the end, it was Su Yao and his friends who were able to save the people. It seems that this can only be explained by luck.
"No." Shen Yi rejected it, "You are wrong."
Wu Zhao suddenly opened her eyes wide.
"Su Yao and his men are naturally inferior to the Supreme Federation in terms of ability, but the reason they were able to successfully fight this seemingly hopeless crisis is not because of the luck you mentioned." Shen Yi emphasized his tone a little, "but because of the courage to face doomsday, the belief that they will never give up, and the awareness of not giving up at all costs."
After saying this, Shen Yi himself felt a little dazed.
Because he hasn't said such words for a long time.
At least, it was never said in the last world.
Wu Zhao seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand.
Shen Yi looked at her, shook his head, and said, "The Supreme Federation does have a more powerful force, but what does this crisis that is enough to exterminate humanity mean to the humans on this planet?"
Wu Zhao was stunned.
Then, a bone-chilling chill ran from her ankles all the way up her back.
It was as if even the blood had frozen and the heart was about to stop beating.
This is a disaster that destroyed most of humanity in just ten minutes and made people despair. However, such a disaster is merely a means for the enemy to pursue "high efficiency, low cost, and low destructiveness."
Even after going through so much hardship and struggling desperately, it was finally solved.
Then what.
What will all of humanity face next? It will undoubtedly be a greater disaster and a greater fear. What really makes people despair is not even the crisis this time, but a dark future with no hope at all.
"Supreme Federation." Wu Zhao felt that her voice was full of bitterness. "Give up."
She seemed to understand.
It’s not that the Supreme Federation is weaker than Su Yao and others, nor is it that the Supreme Federation does not have such luck.
They just chose to give up in the face of real despair.
Wu Zhao was even able to think of that idea.
If humans are still going to become extinct in the end.
Then, this crisis may be the easiest and most comfortable extinction.
Look, there is no despair, no pain, no separation of life and death, everyone is still living their happy life, and then suddenly fall asleep, and everything is over.
