On the ruins of a collapsed residential area.

Li Hongtu and many members of the exploration team stood in every corner.

Lin Miao was also holding a device.

Explore the ruins beneath your feet.

After a long time.

Looking at the test results of the life detector, Lin Miao's expression became more serious.

Any object with a temperature above absolute zero will produce infrared radiation, and the human body is also a natural source of infrared radiation.

However, the infrared radiation characteristics of the human body are different from those of the surrounding environment. The life detector takes advantage of the difference between them and uses infrared detection methods to separate the target to be searched from the background in an imaging manner.

According to the test results of the life detector in her hand.

Under the rubble, just near the life detector she was holding, there were infrared images of ten human bodies.

The infrared images of six of them appeared to have been crushed into several pieces by the rubble.

Obviously, there is no need to consider whether he is still alive.

Seeing this.

Lin Miao immediately adjusted the mode of the life detector and switched it to audio detection.

The audio life detector applies the principles of sound waves and vibration waves and adopts advanced microelectronic processors and sound/vibration sensors.

It collects vibration information in all directions, can detect various sound waves carried by air and vibrations carried by other media, and filter out non-target noise waves and other background interference waves.

In human terms, it can detect weak audio sound waves and vibration waves generated underground, such as the groaning, shouting, crawling and knocking of trapped people.

This can be used to determine whether the human body under the rubble is alive.

After a moment's wait.

Lin Miao's expression couldn't help but dim a little.

The four complete human bodies detected by infrared showed no signs of life.

No breathing, heartbeat or any movement could be detected.

Although when using the infrared mode of the life detector, it can be seen from the fact that the temperature of the infrared images is different from that of a normal human body, even the few intact human bodies are most likely dead.

However, it was not until he confirmed it once using the audio mode that Lin Miao gave up.

She sighed imperceptibly.

Then he took out a flag made of special material from the backpack behind him.

After the number 10 was marked on the flag.

Just fix it on top of the ruins.

"Captain, I have completed the processing of the 37 areas I am responsible for, and no survivors have been found."

"Flags have been left in all areas to mark the area for the bodies to be collected by the body collection team."

"Please continue to give orders."

Lin Miao conducted his report in an orderly manner.

Since she took over the shift from the rest of the team early this morning, she has not found a single survivor.

Even if they were a whole team of three, they only found two children hiding in the basement who had not eaten for several days.

He has now been sent to the medical vehicle in the accompanying convoy for simple treatment, and there is no need to notify the people from Team 11 and Team 12 who have set up temporary medical teams in the urban area.

besides.

Basically nothing was gained.

Lin Miao understood that such situations would only occur more and more frequently.

The later the time goes.

The survivors who are unable to leave their hiding places on their own have a lower chance of survival.

But even so.

They still have to persist in the search and rescue work.

"Well, you continue to move forward in the direction you originally planned to go."

Li Hongtu's voice sounded in the communicator.

Lin Miao received the message.

Then he packed up his things and continued forward.

According to the plan.

Next is the last area of ​​the ruins of the community. This area, which was damaged by several giant monsters, has been basically searched.

Thinking.

Lin Miao hurried to the place.

Looking at a half-collapsed building, Lin Miao increased the power of the life detector and began scanning this half of the building first.

Soon, the scan results came out.

In infrared imaging.

Many body parts and some intact human bodies can be seen.

Silent.

Lin Miao switched to audio mode and continued scanning.

Wait until the result comes out.

She couldn't help but widen her eyes.

Almost without hesitation, he picked up the communicator and said, "Lin Miao, requesting support, I found a living adult man here."

After saying.

She looked around excitedly yet calmly.

Determine whether the surrounding terrain will affect the subsequent rescue work.

The key structures of this half of the building are still intact, and it is highly unlikely that a sudden and large-scale second collapse will occur.

However, the large shattered walls inside made the rescue work very difficult. The adult male survivor who was still breathing was almost in the middle of this half of the building.

Not long.

Li Hongtu and three teammates carrying various tools rushed over when Lin Miao was in deep thought.

Everyone quickly began to divide the work and cooperate.

Two people put down the electromagnetic wave X-ray detection equipment they brought with them and scanned the general structure and details of half of the building.

soon.

The chaotic scene inside moved and appeared on the detector's screen.

Everyone gathered around.

Quickly develop a feasible plan.

"The passage here is blocked by a lot of broken concrete blocks. You can consider taking a detour here."

"Look here. You can get through this cave by yourself, but it will be difficult to bring people back. Either try to widen the cave, or we have to take a detour here as well."

"This is close to the load-bearing wall. I don't think we can just widen it randomly. Looking at the situation where half of the building above was destroyed by the huge force, the load-bearing wall below may also be scarred and cracked."

Everyone has different opinions.

Express your opinions and ideas.

soon.

Three roughly feasible routes were planned.

One of them is the first choice and the safest.

The remaining two routes are viable alternative routes in case special circumstances occur on the main route.

After quickly discussing a plan.

Li Hongtu took the lead and seized this potentially dangerous opportunity to rescue the survivors.

He followed the planned route.

Jump in through a broken window.

Everyone had to watch from outside the monitoring screen which refreshed the modeling image every ten seconds and reported the data to Li Hongtu in real time as a help.

Nothing happened during the whole process.

This is definitely considered a dangerous half-building, and no secondary collapse occurred during this period.

It can be said that the build quality is good.

It can also be said that Li Hongtu, as the former captain of the Yongzhou Linjiang City Base Mobile Task Force, possesses quite professional abilities in rescuing people and navigating through ruins.

Less than fifteen minutes.

The adult male survivor was carried out of the half-building by Li Hongtu in a princess-carrying posture.

only.

Li Hongtu's face was obviously not very good.

He hurriedly carried the adult male survivor to the front of the crowd and put him on the ground.

"Lin Miao, please."

"Let Meow the Hamster perform cardiac pacing with electric shocks."

"The survivor's breathing suddenly disappeared just now."

Li Hongtu looked at Lin Miao with a serious expression.

Lin Miao used to be the mascot of Yongzhou Linjiang City Base, so Li Hongtu was very familiar with Lin Miao's awakened pet hamster Meow Meow.

He often took his team members to practice with the hamster Meow Meow, and knew that the little hamster would regularly go to the Shanhai Realm, the headquarters of Yongzhou, for training.

This includes training in the skills of using electric shock to stimulate the heart.

"good."

"Meow meow, it's up to you."

Lin Miao first nodded to Captain Li Hongtu, and then meowed to the hamster on his shoulder.

Meow meow, the hamster that can understand human language.

It landed gently on the adult male survivor who was suddenly no longer breathing on the ground.

Several people around quietly moved away.

The next moment.

A burst of faint blue electric light flashed across the hamster Meow Meow's hair.

Then, the survivor who was electrocuted on the ground trembled all over.

See there is no response.

The hamster Meow closed his eyes, and another slightly stronger electric shock was released.

The survivor trembled violently.

Then breathing suddenly returned.

Seeing this, the expressions of the people around him calmed down.

However, the hamster Meow jumped back onto Lin Miao's shoulder and squeaked a few times.

"What does it say?"

Li Hongtu looked at Lin Miao and the hamster Miaomiao.

He knew that Hamster Meow was intelligent, so he knew what Hamster Meow must be saying.

"It says..."

"This survivor has a reaction from the psychic energy of the Abyss and seems to be affected."

Lin Miao immediately said to Li Hongtu.

She could understand what the hamster Meowth said, and she also understood the importance of his words.

"hiss……"

"I knew it."

"You guys continue the search and rescue mission. I'll send this guy to Team 11 and Team 12 first."

Li Hongtu's face changed when he heard this, and he immediately picked up the survivor who was still breathing.

He ran away without saying a word.

When he entered that half of the building and came to the survivors.

Saw a broken piece of carapace.

Obviously the body fragments of an abyss monster.

Although Linjiang City had been cleaned up by the Eternal Day members yesterday, most of the monster corpses had been taken away by the Eternal Day members.

but……

This cleaning is not thorough.

There are too many monster corpses in various places around the world.

It is understandable that in the ruins of half of the building, there was a palm-sized piece of monster corpse that had not been discovered and taken away.

only……

This palm-sized shell.

But it brought some trouble.

When he found the male survivor, he was holding the shell in his hand.

Obviously this thing affected him.

Even though he had enough food, he still fell into a coma for a long time every day.

Today, after being rescued by Li Hongtu, he fell into a state of suspended death.

at the moment.

It must be sent as soon as possible to the city hospital that was cleared yesterday morning, where there is a temporary hospital for the disaster area set up by members of Teams 11 and 12.

The medical personnel of Team 11 and Team 12 basically come from Linjiang City and the nearby Yongzhou peripheral organizations. They are much more professional than others in dealing with physical problems affected by the abyss psychic energy.

………………………………

Stay in the boundless ocean of spiritual rules.

Mr. Chen, who had transformed into a spiritual state, observed the special changes happening on Earth at this moment.

And trying to maintain that this change doesn't have some strange effects.

The day after this disaster ended.

A certain change has subtly affected the entire earth, leaving Mr. Chen with no time to take care of other things.

He found out.

After countless monsters died.

Their spirituality is slowly dissipating in a strange way.

Or should be said.

It was swallowed!

Although the amount of devouring that occurs on each monster corpse is insignificant, when added together the amount of devouring occurs on so many monster corpses it is not insignificant.

Mr. Chen traces back to the source.

I sensed a certain integrated consciousness that was devouring and integrating the spirits of these monsters.

After vaguely discovering the connection between this integrated consciousness and Gosla who had just returned to the headquarters.

He understood immediately.

This unified consciousness is the will of the Earth.

It is instinctively devouring spirituality and moving towards a higher stage.

And its every move.

It has an impact on the entire earth.

As the Earth is the basic foundation of mankind and Eternal Day, Mr. Chen naturally has to pay special attention to this matter.

But fortunately.

This change is not a bad thing.

In other words, if he discovers it in advance and provides guidance and supervision, this change will only have a beneficial effect.

According to his speculation.

Wait until this devouring is over.

First of all, Gosla, as part of the Earth's consciousness, will be the first to be affected.

Its strength will be enhanced by feedback.

It is still unknown whether Gosla can make the leap from a demigod to a fourth-level true god through this.

but……

At least it can be a big step forward.

Secondly.

The true subjective consciousness of the earth will be born, and a complete intellect will emerge.

Instead of being like Gosla who can only represent a part of the earth consciousness.

But by then.

There is a high probability that Mr. Chen will allow Gosla to replace the Earth's consciousness with her own existence.

After all, it is the habit used by our own Gosla.

at last.

This is the most important change.

The earth itself will undergo some changes after the swallowing is completed.

The rules will be stricter and stronger.

The overall space and matter will become richer in spiritual rules, and will inevitably be difficult to be destroyed by spiritual forces.

By then, technology will still not be affected.

However, the existence of the spiritual system will reduce the destructive power on the outside world on Earth, while there will be no changes in defense and immortality.

To put it simply.

That is, the spiritual resistance of the earth has been enhanced.

Become more resilient in front of spiritually strong people.

If a level 4 True God can blow up a star with one blow, then under the suppression of the rules of the material universe, he can also shake the continental plates with one punch on Earth.

So now after the earth has been upgraded.

The fourth-level true god is suppressed by the rules of the material universe and the spiritual resistance of the earth is enhanced.

It won’t have the power to destroy a star or shake a continental plate with one strike.

One strike could sink more than a dozen Eastern island countries.

Of course.

Even so, it does not mean that the power of science and technology over spiritual masters has increased. The defense and immortality of spiritual masters have not changed.

What changes is the resistance of the earth.

If you leave the earth.

The spiritual masters at the level of fourth-level True God will still only be suppressed by the rules of the material universe, and can still strike out with the power to shake or even shatter continental plates.

Such changes.

In Chen Sheng's view, this is undoubtedly good news.

This means that the Earth will be more durable in the future.

There's no need to worry about destroying the Earth in a fight.
