Chapter 291 Measurement of Life and Potential

At noon on the same day, the airship arrived at Houying Island. Sitting on the airship, looking out through the windows of the wall, you can see the full view of Houying Island. Its general appearance is no different from other islands, but the other half is completely shrouded in black fog.

This is also the first time Su Ming has seen the appearance of an island from a distance. The island is inverted cone shape, with a city built on the upper part, and many huge steel buildings, or equipment hanging upside down on the rocks at the lower part. From a distance, it looks like the entire island has been mechanized.

Although this was the first time Su Ming saw this scene, he learned this knowledge in online classes. The lower part of the island is a large-scale equipment that supplies power to the entire city.

This setting greatly increases the difficulty of repairing and construction of power supply facilities, but there is a reason for this construction. The reason why the Alliance placed equipment under the island rather than above the island is that the number of weird flying is much less than that of strange flying, which also makes it less likely to be destroyed in the air.

Combined with the imagination of the last time the beast demon appeared, Su Ming felt that this arrangement was very smart.

The ground under his feet vibrated slightly, and Su Ming could already feel the inertia of the airship's slowing down.

The airship gradually approached the island and finally landed at the pier. There were only a few dozen people who got off the airship, but there were hundreds of people waiting on the pier.

Su Ming observed these people who got off the airship. None of them came to the island for tourism. They were all specialists of the Bureau of Investigation, responsible for supporting this dangerous mission.

The people waiting at the pier were the residents of this island, who were slowly boarding the airship in a certain order.

Su Ming and others left the dock, took the early pick-up truck, and drove towards their destination.

Along the way, Su Ming saw empty shops and streets, and the whole city was almost empty, without a single figure.

"Ordinary people have almost evacuated. If conditions permit, we will let the students retreat slowly," said the driver.

"There is no need to retreat." Liu Lingshan, who was sitting in the back seat, looked at the deserted street scene and spoke expressionlessly, "I will let this place return to normal."

...

After a two-hour drive, they arrived from the dock to their destination, Houying No. 1 Middle School.

The high school is already in a mess, with blood and destruction everywhere. The school gate has been completely smashed. The monument at the entrance is covered with blood. On the left side of the road at the entrance, there is a thick black fog three hundred meters away... This is the place closest to the black fog.

On the way here, the driver had already told them some of the characteristics of the black fog. The characteristics of the black fog will only fog around the monster's range of activities. That is to say, if the monster in the black fog does not come out, the black fog will not expand.

But if the monsters in the black fog come out and kill all the humans outside and occupy the human settlements, then in a short time, black fog will appear in this place and eventually turn into the territory of those monsters.

Therefore, in order to prevent the expansion of black fog, all the psychics on the entire island are concentrated on the edge of black fog. Once monsters appear in the black fog, they must be killed immediately to prevent the scope of black fog from continuing to expand.

As a result, all the people who can fight on the island were concentrated in buildings on the edge of the black fog.

Although Su Ming and the others came to the post-English No. 1 High School, the temporary residence here was not a group of high school students, but a group of college students, who were generally older than Su Ming and the others.

After putting Su Ming and the others down in front of the school, Liu Lingshan drove alone and drove straight into the black fog without a moment of staying.

The person responsible for receiving Su Ming and the others at the door was a professor from a certain university in Houying, and now he is stationed here with other teachers and students.

The professor's name is Accratya. He is sixty years old, but he is still energetic. Following his self-introduction, his ability is [part imitation], a healing ability. He is currently responsible for the treatment of the wounded after the war.

"Thank you for your support. After three months of suffrage, Lord Liu and Lord Lin finally arrived." Accratia thanked.

"No need to thank you, this is a mission." Gu Dongshu replied casually.

Su Ming was surprised to hear the other party say that they had been here for three months.

Because not long ago, Liu Lingshan was training them on Dongyang Island.

In other words, when a death was happening here, Liu Lingshan did not come to solve the problem, but trained them on Dongyang Island.

This shows that in Liu Lingshan's mind, training them is the priority of saving people.

The deputy director is a very wise person, and he has lived for a long time. He must have her own reasons for doing things. In her heart, there must be a reason for this decision.

After thinking about it casually, Su Ming thought of a possibility.

The black fog incident should be some kind of unpredictable natural disaster. When a natural disaster occurs, should we go to rescue the disaster immediately, or temporarily place the disaster relief and choose to create more efficient disaster relief tools? These are two different options for strategic layout.

The deputy director chose the latter, and she believed that raising these people would be more conducive to human suppression of weirdness.

In other words, the deputy director put them on the scale and measured the tens of millions of people who died in Houying Island. In the end, the result she measured was that these people were more important and more valuable.

If his guess is correct, then in this world, there are many devastating disasters like black fog and white fog, so many that people like the deputy director have no time to stop.

If there is a gap in the occurrence of these strange disasters, the deputy director will definitely not leave the disaster alone, but will choose to solve the disaster and take advantage of the gap in the next disaster to train these young people with potential.

But the result was that the deputy director placed a strange disaster of black fog and came to Dongyang Island to train them.

This action has proved that disasters of black fog are frequent around the world and there is no room for trouble. When you are dealing with a disaster, more disasters have occurred around the world. If you only want to save people, you will not be able to do anything except performing tasks.

Su Ming felt that his previous assessment of the danger level of this world was still conservative. This world was even more threatening than he imagined. Humans around the world were constantly being destroyed like ants, and had no power to resist.

At this moment, another question broke out in Su Ming's mind: If he was in the position of deputy director, could he give up the life of millions of people on an island in exchange for a month to teach potential juniors?
