Chapter 142: Going out again
As the land sank and a tsunami rose, the giant octopus let out a strange cry and led a large number of sea monsters to jump back into the sea and disappear.
It took only a few minutes from their appearance to their disappearance, but the damage caused to the Fusang District by this group of sea beasts was unprecedented since the start of RR, far exceeding the total damage caused by all previous land and sea monsters.
Nearly 5 square kilometers of land sank directly, more than 50 people were directly killed by the monster group, and more than people were killed or injured by the tsunami.
……
At four o'clock in the morning, the six members of the Star Team gathered again at the Starlight Research Institute.
Meng Xingchen has decided to go to a mountain range more than 200 kilometers away from Jiangnan City today to hunt two beast general-level monsters.
This place no longer belongs to the Jiangnan City area, but now Xingchen Security has obtained the qualification to investigate abnormal events in the entire Shuimu State.
Leaving Li Kan and Ye Zihong waiting at the research institute, Meng Xingchen took Cattelan, Wang Tong and Ling Xiaozhe away by helicopter in the night.
Before noon today, the highest-level Hissing Wind Gun and the four highest-level throwing knives that came with it that he ordered will be delivered. Li Kan and Ye Zihong will receive them on his behalf and then meet up at the agreed location.
……
At about the same time, in a star-rated hotel in Jiangnan City, Sokolov found a place to change his clothes, packed himself up, and recovered for a while, and returned to the hotel.
Although he was beaten up again, and Meng Xingchen tried his best not to slap him in the face during the previous gambling battle, Sokolov still looked very miserable at this time.
However, Sokolov himself had a ferocious appearance, and the waiter in the hotel lobby did not dare to ask him.
Back in his room, Sokolov took out the cell phone that was smashed in the previous battle, took out the SIM card, and put it into a spare phone.
When he turned on his new phone, an email immediately popped up in his frequently used communication app.
Sokolov opened it and was immediately stunned.
This is a "death scene photo."
Meng Xingchen himself.
"How did Meng Xingchen die? Who could have killed Meng Xingchen?"
After being stunned for a moment, Sokolov, who had already sat down, stood up again.
But after more than half a minute, he came to his senses.
The sender of the email was Meng Xingchen's mobile phone email address. When he thought about what the other party said when he left before, even if Sokolov was stupid, he understood what was going on.
After understanding the situation, Sokolov froze in place again.
After a while, he replied to Meng Xingchen in the mailbox in goose language: "Thank you!"
A moment later, Meng Xingchen also replied with an email, "Do you know how to do it?"
Sokolov was silent for a while, then replied, "I know."
……
At eight o'clock in the morning, when Meng Xingchen and three others were searching the target location with the little flower snake, Vinina sent a video clip.
There is video footage of an island in Fusang District being attacked by a group of mutant creatures in the sea. A piece of land with an area of nearly 100 square kilometers sank directly into the sea, triggering a tsunami and causing heavy casualties.
The video material sent by Vinina is quite detailed, basically covering most of the real situation at that time. It is more detailed than the one on the Starlight Mall-Starlight Forum.
“It’s starting again.”
Meng Xingchen paused his search and watched the video on a high ground. He thought to himself, "The current growth of the sea monsters is indeed far beyond that of the land monsters."
The "giant octopus" that hit Fusan Island and caused regional destruction is most likely the "Octopus King," one of the two great beast kings of the Earth in the future.
The Octopus King of later generations has each tentacle over 1500 meters long. It is an extremely terrifying giant monster.
Judging from the video footage now, this Octopus King has definitely not reached the planetary level, and is estimated to be at the "Lord level".
Land lord-level monsters can only be dealt with by humans at the "God of War" level.
The IQ of lord-level monsters is basically no different from that of humans.
The several minutes of attack launched by the future "Octopus King" and the sea monsters was obviously a test.
After this first probing, can a full-scale attack be far behind?
It is already past June, and there are only two more months left before the great nirvana described in future textbooks officially begins. Monsters will launch a full-scale attack on humans from the sea, land, and air.
After thinking for a moment, Meng Xingchen sent a reply to Vinina, asking her to be careful on everything and to continue to increase her efforts to purchase various information in the Starlight Mall.
At the same time, secondary information that is farther away from Jiangnan City will be opened to one-star authority and can be traded and purchased.
On the way here, he checked the latest situation of the information exchange section of Starlight Mall. The cost of purchasing information in the mall has exceeded 4 million.
At the same time, the one-star authority of Starlight Mall has now reached 153.
The revenue from rights is 15.3 billion.
Meng Xingchen meant to spend all of the daily revenue from Starlight Mall and the 40 billion yuan invested in advance within the next month, all of which would be used to purchase various information materials.
If it's not enough, he'll invest again.
In Meng Xingchen's opinion, at this stage, in addition to controlling the new and old powers, the biggest advantage of the global systems is the control of various information in their respective regions.
In this regard, Star Security must take a global view and at least not be weaker than any other party in terms of information control.
No matter how powerful a single system is, it cannot be stronger than the power of billions of people around the world.
In fact, at this time, there is no shortage of various common resources. On the contrary, they are in a state of overall surplus.
After RR, one-third of the population was lost, but the previous material reserves were still there, and the production capacity was still there, but it was limited by the sudden loss of more than 3% of consumers and producers.
So during this period, we were in a very strange situation. The prices of some things were skyrocketing, while the prices of some things were constantly falling.
However, once the current global reality is revealed, the demand for household reserves in the short term will inevitably increase dramatically.
Reflecting on the demand for currency, its value will skyrocket and plummet in the short term, entering a very unstable state within a short period of time.
However, once the great nirvana really comes, there is no doubt that the value of currency will plummet.
So, Meng Xingchen decided to spend money and spread martial arts skills to the best of his ability, while also building his own global information network.
At the very least, in future plans, Star Security needs to know what has appeared and happened in various parts of the world, and in which direction to work towards in the future.
His identity as a time traveler also dictates that he must do so.
It is not enough to just know what happened in the future and what appeared. You must try to know where it happened and how to use it.
