Immediately afterwards, the scene seemed to be sped up.
A crystal radiating seven-colored light accidentally fell into the hands of one of the figures.
Then the progress of civilization accelerated suddenly.
The simple shacks were replaced by houses built of bricks and stones, villages were formed, and magnificent cities rose from the ground, with strange buildings standing like wonders.
Those figures possessed terrifying powers to breathe fire, control thunder, and command behemoths, and built a glorious civilization.
Upon arriving here, everything freezes, and the scene abruptly changes.
Endless seawater swept in from all directions.
The raging floodwaters submerged most of the continent, turning it into a vast swamp.
Some of the land creatures were corrupted by the Black Tide, while others were killed by the monsters within it.
Birds in the sky were disturbed by the wisps of mist above the clouds. The dark mist formed streaks of black lightning that struck the flying creatures, causing them to lose their lives and fall downwards.
Only some areas with relatively high elevations retain a relatively rich natural environment.
"Can't fly? Are creatures in the sky disturbed by the fog in the clouds... or is it affected by flight altitude?"
Seeing this scene, Han Ning was puzzled.
But the will of nature did not answer him.
The scene continues to evolve.
Between the enormous island they were on and that boundless continent lay a raging, black ocean teeming with terrifying beasts and unknown dangers.
Han Ning could clearly feel that his mental energy was rapidly flowing away like a floodgate being opened, making it extremely difficult to support this vast vision.
Just then, the image suddenly contracted and zoomed in, cutting back to the sky above the office building where he was located.
A crystal-clear stream of information, like an invisible arrow, pointed straight from the sky toward the northeast of the office building.
The information stream points to a range of rolling mountains in the northeastern part of the island.
It happens to be located not far from the outskirts of the city ruins.
All the images vanished like a shattered mirror.
"Ugh!"
Han Ning suddenly opened his eyes, his body trembling violently as he was forcibly pulled out of that highly focused state.
He was breathing heavily, his forehead covered in a fine layer of cold sweat, and his clothes on the back were soaked with sweat.
The communication with the will of nature was brief, yet contained an exceptionally large amount of information.
The sheer volume of information consumes an enormous amount of mental energy.
It almost drained his mental energy.
A series of needle-like pricking pains and a strong sense of emptiness came from my brain; these were signs of mental exhaustion.
Although it was painful, Han Ning's tense face relaxed slightly.
This mental energy expenditure was absolutely worthwhile!
Nature's will not only told him about the relatively safe evacuation route.
It also provided what appeared to be an answer about the center of the world.
That civilization that developed to a certain scale would very likely have considered itself the center of the world.
However, the images provided by the will of nature were too blurry, and he could only see the general outline.
There was no way to tell what those creatures looked like or what methods they used.
It is also impossible to clearly see the specific scenes inside the city.
Perhaps only by going to that vast and boundless continent can one understand a little bit about it.
"But... it seems unlikely that our sailboat alone can cross that boundless, raging sea..."
Chapter 143 Orderly Transfer
The marine environment in the footage just now was extremely terrifying.
Even though the image was blurry, Han Ning could still feel it deeply.
In my past life, encountering stormy weather with towering waves on the ocean was relatively rare, and it was possible to observe it using weather satellites, plan routes, and avoid it in advance.
So here... the entire sea area is experiencing extreme weather.
Tsunamis are being generated all the time.
The wind howls every moment.
Not to mention the monsters in the deep sea affected by the Kuroshio Current that destroy all natural life.
"The more I know, the more desperate I feel."
Han Ning's expression was rather unpleasant.
The Kuroshio Current and the creatures of nature seem to be natural enemies.
Creatures affected by the Black Tide become ferocious and bloodthirsty.
However, they do not engage in large-scale infighting among themselves, but rather target natural creatures that have not been infected by the Kuroshio.
Until the celestial bodies are assimilated.
They... perhaps died, becoming part of the Kuroshio cycle.
But it still comes down to the same thing.
Life must go on.
"Finding the civilization left behind by the indigenous people might offer a chance, provided we survive first."
Han Ning sighed and walked out of the room.
When he left the room, the entire office building was already enveloped in a tense yet busy atmosphere.
In the dim light, shadowy figures moved about, and the sounds of hurried footsteps, clattering objects, and deep commands mingled together.
Everyone was very busy and kept moving around.
Because if you stop moving, your body heat will be quickly dissipated.
"Prioritize transporting crops, seeds, and experimental equipment..." Professor Ye directed his agricultural team.
"Professor Ye, do you want to take these ordinary vegetable seedlings with you?" A middle-aged man looked at several baskets of wilting sprouts in the cold wind in the corner, hesitant but with longing in his eyes.
Professor Ye might not even consider ordinary vegetable seedlings.
But for them, it was life-saving food.
Professor Ye glanced at it and shook his head:
"Space is limited, so we'll prioritize the mutants and seeds. You can take them and distribute them."
Next door, Vice President Zhao was directing several power-type awakened individuals to carefully move several heavy sealed boxes toward the stairwell entrance.
The box contains food and medicine that everyone has been stockpiling over this period of time.
Not far away, Lin Qianqian and several other people were carrying the items from her boat.
Downstairs, a dozen or so people were crowded along the passageway leading to the temporary boat berthing area outside the building.
Xu Ming carried a bulging bag full of food and bedding as he walked toward the Wind Chaser sailboat.
The water level has now exceeded the third floor of the office building, and they have driven the boats to a spot right next to the office building's windowsill.
Therefore, the passageways leading to the ships were made up of windows that were secured to the hulls with ropes.
Beside him, little Xu Yinyin was also holding a large canvas bag that was even wider than hers, filled with small portions of emergency rations.
She struggled to carry a small box of snacks, her short legs moving with difficulty. Her tender cheeks were red from the cold, and large puffs of white mist came out of her mouth and nose.
"Yinyin, give this to Daddy," Xu Ming said with a smile as he glanced at his daughter.
"Daddy...I can carry you!"
She tilted her head back, her voice trembling slightly, and tried her best to appear calm.
These past few days, the sight of ordinary people at Biyun Resort struggling to make ends meet and living in hardship has had a profound impact on Xu Yinyin's young mind.
The little girl is increasingly understanding the importance of food.
She wanted to take lots of food with her before she left!
That way, Dad, Yin Yin, and Uncle Han won't go hungry!
Xu Ming looked at his daughter swaying under the weight of the heavy objects, feeling both heartache and helplessness, but also a sense of relief. His daughter was becoming more and more sensible.
"Yinyin is great. She said she was tired and asked her dad to take it."
He pretended to be nonchalant as he put the large packages into the boat.
He secretly observed his daughter's movements, and immediately took over if she couldn't hold on any longer.
The water in the mooring area was violently undulating due to the strong wind, with waves constantly crashing against the hulls.
The snow cakes are submerged in the water, helping to stabilize the wind chaser sailboat and keep it in a stable state.
Not far away, eight other sailboats and fishing boats of varying sizes and battered by the wind and waves rocked violently, making creaking and groaning noises.
These are important assets belonging to everyone at Biyun Resort.
According to Chairman Wu's allocation rules, each of the eight ships will be assigned one Awakened One at the Vice Chairman level, as well as several weaker Awakened Ones.
However, considering that the association currently has only one president and five vice presidents, the remaining two ships are staffed by more awakened individuals.
The supplies on each ship were allocated after a meeting, and the Awakened Ones on each ship were responsible for transporting and managing the supplies on their respective ships.
"Quickly, hand over the things."
Ah Long stood on the deck of a catamaran, giving loud instructions.
He was constantly manipulating the water flow to stabilize the boat.
The awakened ones lined up in two rows and took turns passing various supplies from the office building windows onto the ship.
