Chapter 531 Curse (Thanks to Liu Chengji for Being the Leader Again)

Two days later, the bottom layer of the iron crystal pedestal and the outer test area where it connects with the ruins.

On the junction of Iron Crystal Seat and Hell.

Separated by layers of thick walls, all observers have put on heavy protective clothing. After going through layers of disinfection and testing, they followed the instructions of the leading teacher and stood in their own positions.

He saw the iron wall in front of him rising slowly, and through the thick transparent alloy, he could glimpse the hot and dazzling sunlight from the outside world.

noon.

The temperature was a pleasant 27 degrees, a little hot, but bearable.

The blazing sunshine fell from the sky and fell on the wasteland and ruins, illuminating the entire hell in silence.

It was as if everyone was asleep during this lazy time, and there was rarely any sound.

If this was not a test area, many students whose bodies were a little stiff after being on the boat for two days would want to go out and bask in the sun.

Soon, experimenters in chemical protective suits walked into the students' observations.

He stood in the shadow where the sun could not reach, holding a folding umbrella in his hand. When he opened it with his hands, the umbrella was surprisingly large, enough to cover his entire body.

Then, he threw the experimental mouse in his hand toward the sunlight outside the shadow.

The mouse screamed sharply and struggled in fear, but it could not resist the experimenter's actions. It fell into the sunlight, and then convulsed violently.

Amazing changes happen in an instant.

Just under the sun, the little white mouse shriveled up quickly, and bursts of blue flames rose up from the white fur, turning into fly ash, and then the shriveled flesh and blood quickly dehydrated and carbonized.

Finally, the experimenter picked up a stick and poked it, and it collapsed into a cloud of dust in the wind.

It was just thrown into the sun, just like being thrown into molten steel, with no bones left.

In the infrared observation of the display on the right, after slowing down dozens of times, you can see with the naked eye the tragic nightmare it encountered at that moment.

The moment it fell into the sun, its body temperature began to rise rapidly, as if it were ignited gasoline, soaring tens of thousands of times in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, the water in the body evaporated neatly, and the limbs were bathed in flames, ushering in the end of destruction under the gentle embrace of the sun.

So unexpectedly and tragically, another side of the Twilight Land was revealed in front of all the students.

"This is spontaneous combustion."

From the loudspeaker, the voice of the experimentalist outside the window came.

Through the thick chemical protective suit, he said indifferently: "Please don't take any chances. In this hell, any creature exposed to the sun will be burned to death by its sudden increase in body temperature.

Unless some special high-level stigmata and special bloodlines can improve one's tolerance, there is no chance of survival. This is a warning given by two members of the first-phase exploration team with their lives. I hope you can take it seriously.

According to the calculations of the central host of the Iron Crystal Base, if there is no defense, even a fifth-level sublime person will not be able to sustain it for long under such sunlight - although at that level, you can always find a way to escape. But according to my observation, you don’t seem to have such ability.

Therefore, please memorize the ship's safety rules and first aid instructions completely - and never attempt to move around the area outside the Iron Crystal except at dusk.

The life-saving umbrellas distributed to everyone can only relieve temporary emergencies. If you are slighted because of this and end up causing disaster, you can only say that you have brought it on yourself. "

As he spoke, the scholar holding the black umbrella stepped forward into the sunshine.

Under the umbrella, the scholar in the shadow was unscathed.

But the black alchemical coating on the outermost layer of the umbrella made a fine burning sound - the coating fixed on it was rapidly cracking and declining.

Color changes slightly.

From black to crimson, from crimson to light red, all the way to the final pure white.

A total of fifteen minutes and forty-one seconds.

When the umbrella surface becomes pure white, it no longer has any effect of blocking sunlight. But being able to survive under this cursed ray for fifteen minutes is already rare.

"Then, let's move on to the second half of the on-site teaching."

The heavy gates fell down, creating a closed space in the outer laboratory, and then, the huge iron cage was transported from the transmission belt.

In the cage, a strange creature covered with strange deformities was struggling and roaring angrily. Soon, after a shot of sedative, it closed its eyes.

The scholar put away his umbrella, turned around and walked into the isolation room.

Quickly, a small square box appeared from the conveyor belt, and the countdown on it passed quickly. The moment it returned to zero, a gap opened quietly in the box.

The night sealed in it turned into mist and overflowed. The thick darkness filled every inch of the air in the laboratory, baring its teeth and claws like a living creature, even eroding the outermost transparent alloy.

The students backed away in the confusion.

Immediately afterwards, someone saw: the body temperature of the giant beast under infrared observation was rapidly dimming and disappearing - like a candle extinguished in the darkness, leaving no trace.

When the isolation gate opened again, the sun shone down and the ray of night evaporated instantly.

Only the remains of the giant beast in the cage were left, still looking like it was sleeping.

It seemed to wake up at the last moment, its ferocious face full of panic and despair, but it was unable to resist, and it turned into a stone statue in the absolute darkness.

After the experimentalist's hammer struck down, the cracked surface of the iron stone was exposed. From the inside to the outside, no inch was spared.

"As you can see now, under the sun, all living things will quickly spontaneously combust. Once it enters the night and is in the lightless darkness, the body temperature will rapidly disappear until there is no more heat, and the body will naturally ignite from within. And the petrification outside is irreversible——"

The scholar paused for a moment, dropped the hammer in his hand, and said indifferently: "Once the petrification is completed, you are truly dead, and there will be no trace of source matter left. Please keep this in mind, students.

The life-saving umbrella given to you, in addition to the umbrella cover, is equipped with a morning candle in the handle that is enough to burn for thirty minutes. I will not demonstrate it here.

This is the introduction to the Land of Twilight. If you have any questions, you can ask your team leader after the training. Now, please come forward according to the group number I read and go to various positions for internship.

Don't be nervous, the tasks given to you are all insignificant, just to give you a little more experience and prevent you from being too leisurely.

Next, Group No. 001 comes forward——"

.

On the stairs on the second floor of the experimental area, Huai Shi looked away after seeing this, took his two students, and turned towards the direction of the bridge.

Along the way, many staff members recognized the new person in charge and greeted him politely.

Huai Shi responded one by one with a smile, and sometimes stopped to chat with people, but the thoughts in her mind had already drifted to unknown places.

I can only say that if you don’t do the job of the person in charge, you won’t know, but if you do it, you will be shocked.

Today I realized how difficult it is to be a vice-principal.

Including the Iron Crystal Base, a branch base, sixteen unmanned outposts, as well as detectors and drones scattered everywhere, daily emergencies and the evils left over from the past.

Food and water for everyone; daily consumption of the core furnace; maintenance and regulation of the internal framework; a list of needs for the six laboratories; research supplies that need to be replenished; consumable instruments to be replaced; hundreds of local samples submitted every day below Application, information and support from outside exploration teams...

The lives of 941 people on the entire ship, including students, staff, and the exploration team, were all now under Huai Shi's control.

Even if only in name.

.

Organizations have their own inertia.

From earlier to the present, Ferrocrystal has been managed and operated in an extremely efficient and flat manner. Except for some necessary procedures, there is no internal delay or waste of time.

Everyone wears many hats and functions well under the sheer pressure of hell.

The eight people in charge can perfectly solve more than 90% of the problems and incidents in their areas of responsibility. Huai Shi does not need to intervene at all, and he even has no room to intervene.

How about a little bit of math?

Let professionals do professional things, and don’t take yourself too seriously.

Faced with Huai Shi's appointment as the person in charge, no one jumped out of his way to create any extraneous details, because... it was actually unnecessary. Even when the Grand Master is not doing anything, a complete virtuous cycle that is capable of self-management and self-correction has been formed within the Iron Crystal Seat.

Otherwise, according to the way the great master gets sick every three days, he would have collapsed into a mess.

It can only be said that the idealistic elements of the sublime are resisting all bureaucratic changes. Although it will become very complicated in the current situation, in hell, it is quite straightforward and simple.

Now that Huai Shi has arrived, all department heads have cooperated very cooperatively in reporting their positions and all work contents, and transferred their own authority certifications.

And the broadcast was carried out immediately, and the notice reached everyone's hands.

All secrets and contents will be made transparent to Huai Shi. As long as Huai Shi is willing to see it, all confidential information will not be hidden from him at all. It includes sixteen research results currently in the laboratory and the progress of four long-term projects, as well as more than twenty alchemical recipes recently discovered.

As the representative of the principal, let alone in the Iron Crystal Tower, even in the research institute, isn't it the same that you can see and take whatever you want?

No one jumped out blindly to stumbling upon Huai Shi, no one wanted to give Huai Shi a blow, and no one jumped out with a sharp sarcastic sentence to make Huai Shi retreat.

This made Huai Shi unhappy.

He originally said that he would catch the two who jumped the most and kill the flag, and then he would knock the mountain to shake the tiger, use coercion and inducement, and seize his own power through various methods... Suppress the scale of the conflict, divide the contradiction, and find out who is his teammate. He was an enemy and finally succeeded in taking over.

What a great topic for a refreshing article.

Why is it gone?

“Do you ever feel like you’ve missed hundreds of thousands of words?”

In his office, Huai Shi suddenly asked a question without knowing anything.

? ? ?

Deputy Xiaojiu looked up blankly.

I don’t know what nonsense my teacher is talking about.
