Chapter 242 Flood Countdown
Inside the bedroom, Mo Ming sat on the bed, holding a bronze hexagonal seal in his hand, his eyes closed, constantly circulating his spiritual energy between the seal and his body.
Normally, only those who reach the Radiant Orange level can convert spiritual energy into spiritual power for use. However, due to the existence of the Six Directions Seal, Mo Ming was able to sense spiritual power ahead of time.
Aside from his daily tasks at the shelter, Mo Ming spends most of his time developing the power of the Bronze Hexagonal Seal, making it more compatible with himself.
Suddenly, a cold, mechanical voice rang out:
[Mist Announcement]
[72-Hour Countdown to Flood Disaster]
The flood disaster marks the beginning of a new era in the misty world, known as the Primordial Era.
[From the beginning of the primordial era, major events will occur one after another.]
【...】
The brief announcement left Mo Ming with a lingering and unsettling feeling.
A new era has begun?
Why not call it the Age of Mist? Why is it called the Primordial Era?
In the early primordial era, a great flood submerged the land...
what does this mean?
In Mo Ming's mind, a bold guess was gradually taking shape.
Mo Ming had actually thought of this for a long time, but since he had never found any clues in this misty world, he had given up on it.
But now, a clue seems to have appeared!
The more he thought about it, the more chills ran down his spine. To verify his guess, Mo Ming called Liya and the others.
"I have a question for you: what was your era called before the demons descended upon your planet Moro?"
After speaking, Mo Ming looked at the people in front of him with some nervousness.
“I remember it was called the Cold Moon Chronicle,” Stone said first.
“It’s the Cambrian period!” Kane looked at the stone and said with a helpless expression.
Stone scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, "Ah...hahaha!"
Cambrian... cold wave...
Is it a coincidence?
"Did all your ancestors live in the same calendar system?"
“I once heard my grandfather mention that my great-great-grandfather lived during the Cambrian period, but before that, it seems…” Man Meng tried hard to search through his past memories.
Mo Ming frowned. Five or six generations of people were all from the Cambrian period. Could it really be a coincidence?
"Do you know why it's called the Cambrian Period? What's the origin of this era name?"
"I know that, I know that. My grandfather said it was named by the first group of people who lived on Moro Star, and it seems to be related to the climate at that time..."
Duoduo raised her hand, just like an elementary school student eagerly answering questions in class.
Mo Ming was greatly shocked; this was definitely the answer he both hoped for and feared.
It seems to really be related to a disaster!
The expectation stems from his guess, which is perhaps a basic human instinct. When you have a guess about the outcome of something, no matter what the result is, there is always a sliver of hope that you are right!
The fear stems from the fact that if this is the true answer, it means that they are not among the first humans to be transported here, nor are they necessarily among the last.
Even if they survive in the end, one day they will be imprisoned and slaughtered by demons like the Moro aliens, turning this place back into a prison and continuing this survival game.
Seeing Mo Ming's strange expression, the group was puzzled.
"Chief, are you...are you alright?" Lia asked softly.
Coming to his senses, Mo Ming took a deep breath, composed himself, and slowly said, "I'm fine, I just remembered some other things."
"You guys go ahead and get busy. Oh, by the way, Liya and Manmon, stay here. You'll be coming to the barracks with me later."
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Regardless of whether the script is like this or not, I will not obey. Damn it, I finally managed to travel through time and defy fate to change my destiny. Do you think I'll let you change your destiny back?
No matter who's pulling the strings behind this, I'm going to fight you to the bitter end!
"Let's go, let's go to the barracks!"
Having prepared himself mentally, Mo Ming led the two out of the main hall.
......
Above an endless sea of clouds, the Sky Island appears as a miracle floating in the sky, suspended between the blue sky and white clouds.
However, beneath this seemingly peaceful sky city, undercurrents are quietly creeping in.
A small boat had somehow disappeared into the shadows of the floating island.
"I really don't know how humans did it, to make such a big island float into the sky? Wait... won't it fall down?"
"They're really secretive. Keep a close eye on them!"
"Sigh... I wonder what Vista promised the boss, because the boss actually..."
"Who says it's not?"
"Alright, alright, you guys, focus, don't lose your bearings."
"..."
Meanwhile, a few hundred meters away on the sea, a small boat was also anchored. The people on board, holding binoculars, stood on the deck, watching the floating island from different angles.
Mei Chuan's spies were watching the distant sky island floating in the sea of clouds with bated breath.
Their mission is to monitor the movements of the sky islands from a distance, especially to observe activities below the clouds.
The Sky Island's defense system is mainly concentrated above and around the island, while the cloud sea area below is relatively hidden. Therefore, Mei Chuan specifically dispatched them to set up positions there to prevent any anomalies from being overlooked.
"What is that?" the scout muttered to himself, quickly adjusting the focus of his instrument to try and see more clearly.
As the image gradually came into focus, his heart raced. A ship hovered silently beneath the floating island, and on it... were four people?
"Is this... even human?"
The scout was somewhat apprehensive. He quickly recorded the discovery, immediately opened his bracelet, and whispered, "Lord Meichuan, this is a sea surveillance point."
We have spotted a suspicious vessel in the clouds below the Sky Island. Preliminary assessment indicates it is an alien entity, and its target may be the Sky Island. Requesting instructions.
A cold glint flashed in Mei Chuan's eyes. The secret of the Sky Island had clearly attracted the attention of others, and the appearance of these uninvited guests would undoubtedly pose a threat to his plans.
How many people are on the boat?
"Reporting, sir, four, but... they don't look human!"
"Huh? A half-orc?"
"No, they look similar to humans in build, but their faces are terrifying, like ghost faces!" The scout's voice trembled slightly.
"Okay, I understand. Continue monitoring, but don't expose yourself."
Mei Chuan's instructions were transmitted back to the spy's ears through the bracelet; his voice was deep and cold.
After hanging up the phone, Mei Chuan looked puzzled. "How did the masked man end up here? Judging from the description, there were four of them in a small boat, so it doesn't seem like they came here by chance."
The situation is getting complicated..."
Mei Chuan downed the drink in one gulp and dialed a phone number. "Hello, there's new information on Sky Island..."
